"YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!" Lonely yelled at the bazaar floating girl in front of him.
"YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!" Eos retorted, "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH ONE WISH COULD PULL A STAR SHIP OFF COURSE? LET ALONE TWO??"!
"A what?"
"Look, I'm going to have to go back and get new coordinates, because your wishes erased my old ones. I'm also going to have to bring you in for major interference on a junior star cadet's ship."
"WHAT?!"
"Look, kid, I'm sorry, but-"
"Don't 'kid' me! I'm the same age as you!....Probably.". She raised an eyebrow and looked him up and down.
"Last time I checked, humans couldn't live to be 1,600. Are you 1,600?"
"...…No, 16."
"Look, I'm sorry I have to take you in, but you have thirty minutes to say your goodbyes to anyone you like, because they won't be here when, or if, you get back." She looked sorry, but Lonely didn't believe it. In fact, he believed this was all a dream.
"I fell asleep reading again," was what he was thinking when he picked up a book from the ground and sighed to the fallen star, Eos.
"I'm ready now.".
"Alright!" She hopped to the side of the comet and pulled at a section in the side, making a door.
"After you, human!" Eos hummed. He stepped in, wondering how they would both fit inside something that seemed it could barely fit her, but his wondering stopped when he poked his head in.
"It's bigger on the-!"
"Not anoth-! Inside. I know. Just get in!" She grumbled like she had heard the statement one too many times.
"How?"
"Space magic." She stated. Lonely couldn't tell if she was joking or not, but decided not to ask because she already seemed ticked off.
