                              PART 1

Everything seemed normal now. Everyone has their own house, own food items, own toys, TVs, tablets, chairs, tables ,etc.....except from the gigantic black hole at the center of their lost solar system
"The best thing is that we won't have any earthquakes or tornadoes or cyclones." Alex said to the others. He was no longer petrified or scared.
"That's true but the one thing you're forgetting is that we are in space." replied Julianne "There won't be any cyclones or tornadoes but there are large asteroids, magnetars, black holes, runaway planets, and quasars". Both of them were sitting at the table eating fries that were  cooked by their mother. Their father was sitting in front of the TV watching news.
"Damnit I finished my fries." Julianne said. "Mom can I have some more?"
" No you can't." their mother replied. "You still have to eat lunch".
"Here you go" Alex whispered to her while handing her 5 more pieces secretly.
"Thanks" she whispered back.

"Where are we?" Alex questioned his father.
"We are exactly 40 million miles away from Neptune" replied his father.
" You two get back to your work." their mother pointed to Alex and Julianne and ordered them.
"Do we have to study now?" Alex said
"Yes"
"But the school hasn't opened yet!"
"I know"
"So if you know that the school is closed, why are you telling us to study??"
Their father turned to their mother and  immediately replied , giving no time for their mother to talk," Oh come on honey if they aren't in the mood to study, why are you insisting them to study?"
"Dad, you're the best." both the siblings replied. The mother glared at the father for a moment, and then marched back into the kitchen yelling ,"FINE DON'T STUDY THEN. AFTER GETTING LOW MARKS DON'T COME TO ME THINKING I WILL FORGIVE YOU!!"
Their dad made a gesture to them telling that he will handle her and there was no need to worry.
"Hey this is getting kinda boring. Let's go out" Julianne suggested, to which Alex replied with a slight nod.
The moment Julianne and his brother exited he house they could hear their mother arguing loudly with their dad.
"I hope I don't find a dead body inside our house when we return...." Alex said.
It was 12:00PM, although looking from one of the spaceship windows it looked more like it was 12:00AM. There was a big park in front of their house, where dozens of children were laughing, shouting and playing, clearly not  bothered about the destruction of their solar system.
"Let's sit at the bench" Julianne suggested and Alex agreed.
They sat at a ben- no no no.  they sat a   table which was very colourful and seemed to be made out of steel or some shiny thing, and had railings the size of an egg. It also had a back rest, which was the lengthwise the size of an elephant.
"I wonder what the designers were thinking while designing this...." Julianne said while looking at the massive back rest.
"Either they were too tired when they were designing this, or they were depressed at something." Alex commented. Julianne giggled.

It was a nice evening. The children were playing, the elderly were taking a walk, cars moving on the road, a flock of pigeons relentlessly pooping on top of a car, and two siblings sitting on a bench randomly staring at things.
"Isn't there any ice cream shop or truck around here? I wanna eat ice cream" Julianne said.
"We have an ice cream maker at home, idiot." Alex said to her
"We have one?"
"Yes."
"Well then let's go home and eat ice cream."
"You want to go to that place now?"
"Yeah"
"So basically your purpose for going out  was to eat ice cream?"
"Absolutely."
"You are probably the strangest person I've ever met."
"Appreciate it."
Arguing, both the siblings went back home, only to be greeted by the most terrifying thing ever.
Their mother was chasing after their dad, who was running around the house shielding himself with everything he could grab.
"Oh hi there!" their father waved at them.
"What's going on?" Alex wondered
"Long story." their dad said. " Er....why don't you go out and play some more?"
Seeing the horrible condition of the house, and the terrified face of their dad, they left.
''I'm definitely finding a dead body when I enter into that house" Alex said.
What could possibly go wrong on such a 'sunny' day?
