Who:- Alota, Jay
Where:- Earth
"JAY HURRY UP!!!" Alota shouted up the stairs, "WE GOTTA LEAVE!" she
yelled as she bundled together her bags, "HOLD ON!!" he shouted
back..then cursed as the razor slipped and he removed half of his
face.
"The cab's waiting outside and the meter is running!, now get a move
on Flyboy!"
"OK OK !!!" Chrysler shouted back, and came bounding out of the
bathroom, pressing a 3 foot length of toilet paper against his face
trying to kurb the bleeding.
"Get your bags, i'll wait in the cab" Alota told him as he stumbled
over his shoes, falling on to the floor and pulling his trainers on
as he rolled onto his back in one 'graceful' motion.
Getting to his feet and gathering up his luggage Jay moved as quickly
as he could laden with bags and trailing his shoe laces.
He threw his things into the back of the waiting cab then climbed
into the backseat of the Hopper.
Slamming the door shut he turned to the driver "Sandford shuttleport"
the driver started the engine, and as the hopper leapt into the air,
and came back down again like a VW beetle with pogo sticks instead of
wheels.
The driver initiated the traditional "nice weather were having/ I was
in the (insert name here) music video" routine Alota having a civil
conversation with him whilst Jay merley grunted.
Alota left Jay to pay as she unloaded the bags from the boot of the
hopper onto a trolley and took them through the customs check.
Jay caught up with her and they walked together towards the 'private
craft' landing pad, where the Phoenix had been kept for the past week.
29 hours later.
"Alota, wake up" Jay said, looking over to the campbed that Alota was
currently slumbering on.
She stretched, and stood behind her husband, placing her arms around
his neck, kissing him on the cheek.
"we home?"
"There she is baby" Jay said pointing at the enourmous blue vessel
through the port window.
Reaching for the comm system he spoke into the mike
"Phoenix to Dwarf, Do i have clearance to land?"
"I.d and passcode?"
"Chrysler, Lt J.M."
"Confirmed, passcode"
"Alpha-Tango 358 flyboy"
"Proceed to docking bay 6"
"Thanks"
"By the way Jay, Allie's holding a halloween party later, see you
there?"
"Sounds good, we'll be there"
With that Jay brought the midget in to land, narrowly avoiding a
collision with a Dean controlled Blue Midget.
