So, ZH-899 has finally arrived and right now, I'm sitting on an awesome super-speed space technology rocket. ZH-899 pushed a red button and a voice said 'Where would you like to go?'
'Around the galaxy,' ZH-899 replied. And in a second, the rocket took-off at high speed to the sky, and it went on.
'Why are we going so high?'
'We will need to,pick up speed while we go down, so the more high we go, the more faster we go.' ZH-899 replied. In Milky Way, one planet seems to be higher than the other, while in Andromeda, the planets are in the same level.
'So you mean without going up, the speed of the rocket would be like a normal rocket?'
'No, we just want to hurry up so that we don't waste time.'
'Why?'
Then he just pretended that he could not hear me.

From the telescope, I could see all the other galaxies. They all looked pretty much the same, from far, of course. It wasn't too hard to find earth, because of its bluish, greenish color, and the Great Wall of China, which was almost clearly visible.
Scientists have found out that it's the only man-made structure that can be seen from space, I guess so. But when you zoom in with the andromedian telescopes, you could see others too.
Actually, not much has changed since I left, about 112 years ago. Seem like a lot of years, right? Actually, not in Andromeda. The longest you can live is probably 1000 years, or more than that, but scientists are not sure yet, since I was the first human here, or maybe not. But I shouldn't really worry since I'm still a kid and it would take a lot of time for me to turn to an adult. Also, if I stepped foot on earth right now, I would be as old as somebody's great great great grandfather, or rather, dead.
Anyway, our first stop was planet Nimbuzz. We landed on a platform where lots of ships had been parked. We climbed out of the spaceship, and we were greeted by a few robots.
ZH-899 whispered something to a bluish robot. I was not sure what he said but I did hear 'Room no. 877...Pedria...before he comes.' But I did not have time to think about it, I busy being fussed over. After a while, the bluish robot (who I found out was called KL-482) led me to a smaller ship and we sat in.
'Are you not coming?' I asked ZH-899.
'Umm, I just remembered I had some important work, I'll meet you after you come back.' He replied, and I was sure the 'important work' had to do something with what he whispered to KL-482.
We saw the tallest tower in the galaxy, the shortest robot in the galaxy (about 2.3 millimeters tall) and the tallest one (8 ft. 7 inches), besides the commander, of course. We also visited more galaxies like poleneus and zoleneus (twin planets, which seem to move in the same speed and same time), gretion, poliner and festia. At the end we landed in Pedria, where we were supposed to meet ZH-899, and I wasn't surprised at all, after I heard the conversation.
KL-482 took me to a hotel, where we were supposed to wait for him. It was grand with red curtains drawn over big windows and velvet sofas. It had at least 150 floors and 5 swimming pools. We sat down on a very, very soft sofa, but I had to get up again, since I had to go to the toilet badly. The receptionist told me it was on the 73rd floor. I took the elevator and pressed 68 by mistake, but I didn't seem to notice. I ran out when it opened and searched for the washroom, but after a few minutes, I realized that I was lost.
I was really exhausted and no one was around. When I was about to start walking again, but I heard ZH-899's voice. It came from room no. 877! Just like he had said. I pressed my ear to the door to try and hear the conversation.
'Is it done...do as I said?'
'Yes sir...as you said.'
'Now nobody can stop us...everyth....as planned.'
I wanted to listen more, but to my surprise, he opened the door before me.
'What are you doing here?'
'Umm... I was lost while searching for the washroom and I landed up here.' I tried to peek inside the room to see the other robot, but he had disappeared. And I knew ZH-899 was suspecting me of hearing their conversation, but he didn't ask anything.
'Fine, we'll go to the washroom and then we will go down, KL-482 must be waiting for us.
And then I thought I heard him mumble 'Anyway, it's too late to stop us.'
