Hannah had fallen asleep on the plane ride and she
didn’t wake up when she was carried into a different plane by two
young gentlemen. “Please don’t wake her.” Lisa had whispered urgently.
If Hannah had been awake on the plane-ride she would have noticed
something very odd indeed; it appeared that they were going up quite a
bit higher than a plane, if she had been awake she might have realized
that they were in fact in space. Lisa did not seem to be very
surprised but if Hannah had been awake, it is quite probable that she
would have taken the fact that they were actually on a spaceship as a
big surprise. However, she slept peacefully for the whole ride which
went on only at night and when she woke up in a hotel she didn’t know
that she was not in fact on earth.
Shel had thrown up 4 times that day; he always threw
up when he had anxiety. This was anxiety beyond anything he’d ever
felt. It was 2 hours before the earth-person and the Cuñan (he still
didn’t know her name) were scheduled to meet with him. He had put on
his best suit as a gesture of respect to the earth-person (he had been
told that she was female) and he had some flowers to give her. He was
trying to read a book but if you paid attention, then judging from the
fact that he never flipped the page and his eyes kept darting away
from the book to the clock you could probably tell that he was quite
nervous. In about an hour the phone rang and he picked it up. It was
probably the Cuñan saying that she was about to leave.
“Hello” He said,
"Hi,” Came the voice of the cunan. “I was just wondering if it’d be ok
if we made this meeting just you and I and we can schedule a meeting
with Hannah for tomorrow.” Hannah must be the earth-person.
“Oh! Yeah, um no problem. Except, um, you do know that we have a
limited amount of time here.”
“Yes, I know, but we need to talk alone before we break the ice on
Hannah.” “Alright, but we’ll meet early tomorrow.”
“I promise it’ll be early. Ok, well, thanks. I’ll still come at the
same time if that’s ok.”
“Sure” he told her and he hung up. “URGGH!” He exclaimed in agony.
This was just too suspenseful. He didn’t even know if he would like
Hannah.
