Over and Gone

Where-the Shuttle Bay
Who-Blond Katrina and Efof
When-After Seymour dumped her (the bastard!)
---------------------------------------------
Katrina Swete, the blond and good one, adjusted the bag over her shoulder.
PITA, the dog, whined and snuggled her leg.
Efof lead her towards a Blue Midget.
"Thanks for doing this one such short notice," Katrina said glumly, "but I
can't stay on this ship anymore."
"I understand," Efof agreed. "Better to leave and be sad than stay and get
killed." He gave her a puzzled look. "But why are you taking Dark Katrina's
dog and not your cat?"
Katrina petted the dog's head. "My cat likes her better, and this dog seems
to love me more." She sniffled, holding back a sob. "I guess someone has to
love me."
Efof didn't know what to say. He guessed anything he said would just be
upsetting. "I don't know why you don't just tell Captain Niples what's really
going on." He opened the Blue Midget's door, letting her and PITA in first.
"That dark-haired witch has him fooled. He won't listen to me." Katrina sat
in the co-pilot's seat, PITA jumping on her lap. "Ooof! Jeez, you're heavy
PITA."
Efof sat down and switched on the engines. He turned to her. "Are you
absolutely sure about this? We have to go through a worm-hole to get to the
ship The Black Hole. They're the closest ship with the capabilties to get you
back to Earth."
She nodded. "There can be only one Katrina on this ship, and I lost."
Without another word, Efof lifted off.
(Yes, Blond Katrina has left. For good? I haven't decided. For now, Dark
Katrina is around to cause trouble. See what you've done, Captain?!)
