Riding around in a space ship was supposed to be fun, but right now I wished so badly I could be with someone else. I'd been trapped for several weeks on a crowded space shuttle with my partner that our sector had assigned to me. I'm sure with her list of expertise, she'd say I was assigned to her. However, the one thing she'd never take into account, and the thing that swarmed her in absolute jealousy was that it was my name one the top of the list for the mission, not hers.
I can hear her complaining now about how nobody back on Earth even cared I was gone, not even my girlfriend. I had to stop myself from punching her when she had the audacity to tell me that my girlfriend I'd been with for seven years, and had plans to get married once I got back, would leave me. She said she'd leave me because she dislikes the idea of being alone for a few months.
Right now, there was no way I'd let anymore of her annoying words get to me. Soon, we would be back home and I could finally get married and start the family that my girlfriend and I had always dreamed of. For now, I needed to rest.
The one thing I never expected to wake up to was actually happening. It seemed every alert system we had was going off at once. The sirens blared in my ears as my partner, Becky, tried shaking me awake. She was yelling for me to wake up, screaming some profanity while she was at it. I got up from the bed, shaking her off me. She signaled for me to follow her to the boarding deck. On our way there, she stopped at a panel on the side of the wall, took off the cover, and typed a code onto the keypad. She slammed the door back shut and the sirens turned off, making everything seem normal again.
When we finally made it to the boarding deck, I asked her what we were doing there, to which she replied she saw something outside, perhaps it might've been an alien or a UFO. Either way, we crept closer to investigate.
I looked out the window to find that there was what seemed to be an average sided UFO, like you'd see in the science fiction comics. I went to take a closer look, but saw a white beam of light coming from the front of the ship that blinded me. When the light eventually faded, I was in a white room, standing next to Becky. We were both still wearing out space suits, though they appeared to be torn almost to shreds. How did we get here?
We found a control panel not too far from where we were at and made our way to it. We looked out the front window and saw we were back on Earth. Had we crash landed? There appeared to be a bunch of dirt surrounding the ship.
I went to press the button to open the hatch to let us out, but she must've had the same idea. She and I pressed separate buttons that seemed to do nothing. She glared at me, telling me to leave the panel alone, as I had no idea what I was pressing. In a fit of rage, we began pressing random buttons on the board. There was another blinding light. Had I just been beamed to the escape hatch? It appeared so, as I could see the world outside. Yet I wasn't alone. Becky was there too. But she wasn't behind me, she was fused with me. She and I had been beamed to the escape hatch at the same spot at the same time.
"HELP US!" was the only thing we could cry out before losing our balance and falling to the ground.
