Reunited

…“Almost all of the systems in this sector haven’t even heard of Earth. A few, like our planet, have been keeping an eye on the Earth and dropping by from time to time to see how you are progressing. That’s what I was doing when my ship lost power and I had to try and land there. I thought if I could land safely, I could send out a distress call and be out of there before anyone was the wiser. But our ship was damaged more then we knew and we ended up crashing.” “There are a lot of people on Earth that hoped we weren’t alone out here,” Bob said. “I’m glad they weren’t wrong.” “You’d be surprised at just how many systems there are out here that have taken an interest in Earth,” Gheron told Bob. “They are just waiting for the right time to make official contact.” “Thanks Gheron,” Bob said. “I appreciate all the information and any help you can give me. I plan to stick around a few more months anyway, pick up a few supplies and then I’m gone.” It’s the least I can do my friend,” Gheron said. “Stop by and see me before you leave.” “You bet I will,” Bob said as he left to go do some shopping. Just as Bob entered the lobby, to go out, someone called out to him. He turned to see who it could be and he saw an alien woman walking towards him. Bob couldn’t take his eyes off of her.

She had lavender colored skin and powder blue hair. “What’s the matter,” she said. “You never seen a Thorian before?” “No,” Bob stated. “Not until just now.” “Have you been living under a rock?” She asked. “You could say that,” Bob replied. “I’m not from around here.” “I can tell,” she said. “Where are you from?” “A little planet that I like to call home,” Bob said. “Clever,” she said as she pressed against him and put her arm around his neck. “Thanks, you can never be to careful,” he said. “My name is Illia,” she said. “And like I said before, I’m from Thoria a planet in the Borjoue system.” “Fair enough,” Bob said. “My name is Robert but most folks call me Bob and I’m from Earth a planet in what we refer to as the Sol system.” “Never heard of it,” she said. “That’s not surprising,” he said. “We’re unlisted.” “Ha, ha, that is funny,” she said. “I thought we knew most of the systems in this quadrant. Buy me a drink so we can get to know each other better.” “All right,” he said as they went out and down the street to a nearby pub…
