~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eve walked up to the door of the house whilst Tara lent against the wall and looked over the street. She saw the starbug they had landed in take off,
"Typical Blue Dwarf pilot. Should have got Amber to fly us." Mumbled Tara. Eve rang the doorbell and a woman answered the door.
"Eve! I knew you wanted to talk, but did you need to come all this way." She spoke with a slight Ionian accent. Tara was not even looking at the door, but she knew it was her mother. Even so, she turned to look and it was her mother who stood there. Short blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin.
"Mum?" the word came out in a whisper.
"Tara!" said her mother surprised to see her there "Urm... well why don't you both come in." Eve walked in, obviously she had lived there before because she walked straight into the living room and sat down. Tara walked in not taking her eyes on her mum. Tara took a shaky breath and sat down. Her mum flicked the tv onto silent and nervously fiddled with the remote.
"So Eve how have you been?" she said. Tara was a little hurt that the person who she thought was dead for eight years hadn't spoken to her first.
"Fine." Said Eve, who was not in the mood for small talk. Their mother looked at her for a while then turned to Tara, who's shock had once again turned to anger.
"How have you been." She said half expecting no response from her daughter.
"Fine."
"I see your married. It's a pretty ring."
"Yeah. He's been a hologram, now human. Was in a time loop but has broken it so he knows what's gonna happen, predicted lottery numbers so is loaded but that doesn't matter to me. Recently cloned by my son because he died, first one went wrong and so we now have a perverted mini version of him about on the Dwarf. Oh and he is the father of my twins Rufus and Amber" Tara let this all soak in, but she became distracted.... by the tv..... there was a news report, from New Ibiza. Even though the volume was off she recognised the people there it was the 6 foot hamster and the midget that gave it away. She walked to the telly and turned up the volume, watched by Eve and her mum who were puzzled.
"Hello, I'm Gale Weathers* i'm here in a cave on New Ibiza and just about to talk to the brave people who are trying to fight off the giant bugs that have invaded us here." The reporter walked over to the group. "Excuse me can I have a word?" she said.
"What? Where did you come from?" Phil said
"EEEEEEEEE!!!!" said mini-Phil.
"Don't even think it titch" Phil said to the midget. Tara stared at the screen.
"Oh no" were the words that came to mind.....<Eve? Phil? Any one?>
*Couldn't think of a name.... so sue me.
