Forster, and Ellie got the room ready for the Halloween party, by decorating the room with the stuff they bought at Wal-Mart. The room was then decorated with orange, and black streamers, and balloons as an hour passed.

"Looks pretty good," Ellie said. "I say, we did a good job in terms of making the party look good." "Now all we have to do is set up for snacks," Forster explained. "We can get those from the fridge at home though." "Forster look," Ellie said, and spotted something out the window. Forster joined his girlfriend, and they both noticed Mars, and the other planets next to it past the asteroid belt. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all spinning at a slow rotation like the sun.

"Wow, it's not everyday you get to see the other half of the Solar System outside the window of a spaceship," Forster said. "Especially from a room like this," Ellie agreed. "We hardly see it now that we moved to the new suburban area." "Sometimes I wonder why we moved," Forster explained. "And left our families to go to an apartment together."

"We needed to find a place to concentrate on college work," Ellie said. "Oh yeah," Forster commented. "Now I remember. Speaking of which, we should probably head back to Space City. It's already 6:00 P.M." "Alright," Ellie said. "We'll still come back tomorrow after we pick up Kathy right?" "Of course," Forster explained. "What kind of older brother would I be, if I didn't let her go trick or treating?" Forster, and Ellie then left the room the decorated, and returning to the loading bay of the ship.

After using the elevator, Forster, and Ellie returned to the shuttle, and took off flying past all of the stars on their way to Space City. Once the two got through the entrance, they continued on the path, and made their way home, where another package was in front of the doorstep of their apartment. "That's strange," Forster said. "We've been gone for about five minutes, and NASA delivered something to us while we were gone." "But why this our?" Ellie asked. "Not sure, but let's open it, after we park," Forster answered, and parked the shuttle in the garage. Forster, and Ellie then exited the shuttle, and entered the house, through the garage, and opened the front door to bring the package into the house. "Alright, let's see what's in this package," Ellie said.

Forster pulled out a knife, and used it to stab through the tape of the box. Once it was completely opened, a light came out of the box, and sliced through the corners of the cardboard forming the box. The light came from a device that they recognized from the town plaza conference days ago. "That's the same machine the super computer came from," Forster said. "But what is it doing here?" Ellie asked. The machine then grew cables from it's body, and connected to the electricity box, on the wall. The image of E-V.A's physical representation appeared from inside the machine that grew the wire.
