*HALLIE MAE's POV*

"Good morning sir, ma'am" the body guard bow her head.

In our place, if someone bowed at you, you must pat their heads. So I patted her head. I don't know if John Carl is an enemy because he didn't pat her head.

"HALLIE..."

I hurriedly run to John Carl that is now impatiently looking at me.

"I've never been in a huge castle like this." I said and hold the edge of his shirt.

"It's a mall. Its where you can buy all your wants."

"Buy? In our dimension it's all free."

"Woman, I don't know if you are day dreaming or something, but please don't state any nonsense words."

"But it's true... I'm the star princess. They sent me here to-----" he covered my mouth. I don't get it.

Why are people here in Earth are so mean?

"Let's buy you clothes"

"Why? You don't like my outfit?"

"Your outfit is out of this world. Every person will think about you as an alien if you'll continue to use that."

"So what will I wear?"

"Follow me."

•••

A new word I heard from him is 'shopping'. You know, there is no such thing as shopping in our dimension.

I've seen a lot in the mall, including the nude statue that I thought it's real. According to John Carl, it's a mannequin.

"I roamed my eyes in this room. It's way too far from my expectations. "

Dad...Mom.. I can do this. I can do my task. I'll find the key " I said and make myself float. And when I lost my concentration, I fell to the floor.

"Ouch! My ass!"

"Hallie? What's going on up there?"

"Nothing" I said and quickly go to the bathroom like John Carl said. . .

"John Carl!" I wiped my hands on my apron "I don't know how to use this"

I quickly close my eyes and turn my back at her. I'm sweating! Why did it suddenly hot here?

"You okay?"

"Y-yes.. I-i'll just fetch a drink"

I went to my kitchen's comfort room and let a loud sigh. This is my first. First time to see a woman using only a towel around her. I need to act normal but how? Damn it! I opened the door only to see Hallie who's now holding her brassiere

"What's this? We're not using this in our place." She keeps on saying that she's not a mortal. I don't know if I believe her.

"That's a brassiere. Women use it to support their breasts." She's just staring at me.

"Can you help me put it on?"

"NO! ... I mean no..." Fvck! It's getting hotter here!

"If you help me pit it on, I'll take you to my favorite scenery, promise."

I calmed myself and get her brassiere. This is a total tense! You do know I'm still a man. And a man's weakness is right in front of me. I hooked it not touching her bare skin. It's making me you know....

"Done... Go to the guestroom and finish clothing... We'll eat after."

After she leave, I drink a lot of bottled water and make the air conditioner lower in temperature

"You ready?" Hallie ask while removing her slippers

"Where are we going?"

"Remove your slippers and hold my hand"

"I can't understand you, Hallie."

"Let me prove you that I'm no mortal." She hold my hand and the next thing I knew we were flying with a dust of stars in our feet.

"AHHHHH!!"

"Hahaha, don't shout and let your eyes open, you're missing the view."

Why am I hanging with her anyway? I don't know! As what shed say, I open my eyes. And....

"Is this a------"

"It's the Milky Way Galaxy..."

"Is this real?"

"No... It's a replica, made by me" So she's not lying .. She's an immortal

"Who are you? I-i mean what are you?"

She's busy caressing her hair while looking at me. I can see the reflection of the stars in her eyes.

"I am a ------ Boogsshh!" A sound of explosion is heard by us

"Why are you smiling?"

"Because new constellation is formed"

"I don't get it."

"If an old star reach its explosion, resulting a super nova.... A new stars will be born and a new constellation is form" I just rub my nose bridge and sigh... Astronomy is not my thing...

"Can we take a picture here?"

"Sure"

I get my phone from my pocket and take a picture of it...

This will be my first memory of her.
