Efof looked out at her. He felt sad that things had ended like this,
for a few weeks he had been totally captivated by her, and would have
done anything she said... in fact he did do everything she said, he
was her personal slave. But Efof wasn't one to hold grudges, sure she
was a psychopathic murderer but for a while they really had something.
He grinned and waved at her as he flew off into the sky.

Efof steered through the building tops and skyscrapers. It gave him an
odd shiver. He remembered how odd he had found it when he had first
come to this planet that the architecture wasn't Ffionian design. Now
that he knew this world had been taken over by the Ffionians he
wondered what happened to the people who had lived here originally,
built these buildings? he imagined them all stuffed and mounted on
walls. It made him feel ill. But Efof had such a small memory span, he
suddenly thought about banoffee icecream from the shop on the
Promenade and wondered what he was last thinking about.
-------Hours later-----
Efof woke up slowly. He let his eyes become accustomed to his
surroundings as his brain started to function again (although it is
debatable if his brain ever does function).
He saw something that looked like poo. He smelled something that
smelled like poo.
His face was stuck to the floor. Was the floor made of poo?
He picked himself up and long stingy bits of goo hung down from his
face. "Blurgh!" he said, and wiped the sticky thick substance from his
face and looked around for something to wipe it on. Unfortunately
everything else in the spaceship looked like it was covered in the
same substance, so he had nothing to wipe his hand on. He wiped it on
his jeans.
Efof got up. He remembered falling asleep whilst piloting away from
new Ffion. Unfortunately he still had no idea where the Blue Dwarf was
or how he was even going to find it again.
He looked around and spoke to himself. "Aww, Efof …dude… I know we
were in a rush, but why did we pick a ship that looks like it came out
of one of those human creature's arses. What are they called, those
things that go woof? Oh yes, a duck."
He reluctantly sat down on the chair. It also looked like a `duck'
poo, and Efof's theory was that he had already dirtied his jeans so it
didn't matter if they got more dirty.
"What the frell is all this `ick' on everything?" He touched the
navigation controls. A flight stick was used for steering, and it was
covered in sticky stuff too.
Efof pressed a button, and suppressed the need to vomit as the button
sunk in, like you'd imagine a slightly rotten eyeball to feel like.
He talked to himself again. "Okay, we need to find the Blue Dwarf… how
are we going to do that? The Blue Dwarf can use it's wormhole drive to
jump a single lightyear in a second, or a thousand light years in a
second." He thought about it. "So that means it might take me a year,
or a thousand years to find them?!"
He sulked for a bit. "Okay. Where else can I find banoffee icecream?"
he said. He did a search on the ship's navigation computer, but didn't
know how to spell it in the weird alien alphabet.
"Aww!" he said aggravated. "I'm really depressed now, I need banoffee
icecream more than ever! I need to get back to the Blue Dwarf!"
He saw a small cargo ship floating off his port bow. It looked
distinctly alien.
"Hmm, I wonder if they have any banoffee icecream." Efof said, and
steered sharply towards them.
The quest for banoffee icecream begins...
