Shapes

Chapter 1

Bloob ran around the planet's surface with the joy of a child on christmas. This planet was so full of life! Organic, mechanic, all the life it could handle. Sure, it could use few sprinklings of colonies here and there, but everything was fine other than that! She was about to launch back to the camp, when she saw something rocketing down from the sky.

"What in the name of-" She stopped in the middle of her sentence when she saw what was inside.

"Oh god- GUYYYYYYS!" She shouted as she ran back to camp. A heart shaped thing looked up from their reading.

"What?" The heart looked sceptical.

"Semi-circle. SEMI-CIRCLE!" She cried out. The heart launched out of it's sitting position and looked straight at bloob.

"What- From where?!" They asked as they searched around.

"The sky! Get shooter to check it!" Bloob ordered. The heart nodded and rushed into the west of the camp. Bloob then rushed out to the east, to where she had spotted it. The ship, as she recognised it now, was now speeding down at speeds unknown to her.

[---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------]

The heart arrived at the star's base and looked around, panicked, for shooter.

"Shooter, we got a semi-circle!" They shouted into the empty camp. A head popped round the corner and raised a sort of 'eyebrow'.

"Really? How can you know?" The star asked.

"Just take bloob's word for it, we need you out there!" The heart panicked.

"Calm down heirt, I'm going to go out there. I just want to know if it's actual danger." Shooter explained.

"Pretty sure that a semi circle is a danger!" Heirt spoke.

Shooter just sighed and ran out to the land outside to shoot off.

"Wait, what are you going to do?" Heirt called out.

"I'm going to see what's happening." Shooter said, before taking off into the sky.

[---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------]

The semi-circle sat small in the ship. 'I can't mess up. It's an easy mission' He thought.

Just as he was going to parachute down, a star got in his way.

"Ah! What are you doing?" He shouted to the star, fiddling for the controls.

"What are you doing?!" The star screamed back, clinging onto the windshield.

The semi-circle didn't reply, and instead turned to his communications radio.

"How do you get these things to work?! It always looked so easy-" He spoke to himself.

"Hey! Answer me! I'm still here! Hellooooo? Can you hear me in there?" The muffled voice of the star came.

The semi-circle jumped at the fact that the star was still holding on.

"Get off you lunatic! We're gonna crash!" The semi-circle shouted as he saw through the window that they were approaching land fast.

"No! I want to know what you're doing here!" The star screamed.

The semi-circle tried to shout a response, but the sound of the ship crashing head-first into water was a bit too loud to hear anything else.

[---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------]

Bloob jumped at the sudden crash of the ship. She hadn't expected shooter to do that.

"Heirt, do you think he's okay?" She shouted to her.

"If the shoe fits!" The heart called back.

Bloob tapped the ground nervously, half-expecting shooter to be dead on impact. But instead, he just shot up out of the ground with the semi-circle holding on.

[---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------]

Shooter flew around as fast as possible, taking as many turns as he could to shake the semi-circle off.

"Get off me!" He shouted to the grey shape.

"Not until we're safely near the ground you ship-crashing lunatic!" He shouted back.

The star span round in a circle and launched himself to the ground. "Happy?" He spoke sarcastically to the small semi-circle.

"Happier than I was up there." The semi-circle retorted, brushing himself off and catching his breath.

"Now, tell me what you want." Shooter ordered as he landed.

"I want to know why in the stars you made me crash my ship!" The semi-circle cried, pointing to the very broken ship.

"Well firstly, I didn't mean to crash your ship. And secondly, I meant: Why are you here?" The star retorted.

The semi-circle looked down. "I failed so many missions that I was sent here mostly because I'm a lost cause?"

The star snorted. "Wait wait, so what you're saying is they got rid of you?" He giggled.

The semi-circle nodded, his grey screen tinting pink with embarrassment.

The star snorted again and put an arm around the semi-circle. "Join the club buddy."

"What club?" The semi-circle said back.

"The club. The club. The outsider club. Surely you know us?" The star asked.

When the semi-circle shook his head the star sighed, "Aight, better I introduce you. So, there bloob, heirt, squar, triant, me (shooter), and now you, who is..." The star gestured for the semi-circle to reply.

"Oh- Smoot. I'm smoot."

"And smoot." The star finished. "What kind of name is smoot?" Shooter asked.

"A pretty good one."

Author's Notes: Welp, first chapter done now. That's great. Slow character development from here to be honest. Action coming later :D
