"We were actually tracking another ship that must have landed a few hours before us. It came from Station X, not far from Earth. That's one of the reasons we landed"

The solid coffee cup hung heavy in Luna's hand. The canteen was enormous and Luna had not seen so many humans in such a long time. Eyes seem to find her from every direction.

"Luna?" Theo smiled as he answered the medic on Luna's behalf.

"So who were the people on this other ship?"

Luna sipped the coffee and wow did it taste good! It was like her senses had finally awoken and danced on her tongue. She smiled as she sipped and listened.

"They are wanted by our justice system for murder and theft, So it's important we find them and bring the families the justice they deserve"

Theo told the medic and the other man the whole story of what had happened with the boss lady and the droids and how we had lost our friends hoping they could maybe help find them.

The medic nodded and then stood up and left the table following after the other man. Luna closed her eyes again fighting her tired body.

"Are we going to find them, Im so worried Theo"

Theo placed his hand on Luna's shoulder and squeezed it " We won't give up until we find them Luna"

The captain of the ship walked over and pulled a chair up next to them both.

"We will search for the ship and any heat signatures and hopefully find any remaining humans, including your friends. But after that we leave and we would like you all to join us?"

Luna didn't need to think about it, they needed to leave this dying planet. 

"Come with me and I can show you a glimpse of Eden"

They followed the captain to the main control room which was filled with other people wearing uniforms. 

" Taylor can you bring up Eden for our guests" Luna looked at Taylor and gasped, his eyes were just like the droids, so blue but when he blinked it was normal like a human would. He was tall and very muscular and he had tiny marks running up his neck and down the side of his face.

A projection beamed right in front of them it was huge, and the planet was green, blue and red from above. Similar to Earth but with more rocks, almost as if Mars and Earth had a baby.

"Here she is, Eden. Our people have come such a long way and we have advanced so much since living on Earth"

"How long does it take to reach? surly it takes months?" Theo couldn't stop looking at the beautiful planet. 

"Ahh that's where our technology has advanced, we can now jump across space thanks to the Azureians, they found us when we were at the space station and helped us. Taylor is from  Azure" 

"Hello, nice to meet you both" His accent was different but his English was faultless.

Luna couldn't help but stare "Wow, so much has happened" 

The captain got a message from another member of his crew as they talked "They have found something, we could use your knowledge to get to them, Luna and Theo?"

They both nodded and then prepared to go back outside with 6 other crew members. The people looked petrified as the door opened and the toxic air and wasted city st in front of them. They needed suits so they could breathe as this air could still kill them all, Luna and Theo were used to it now. 

"How can you breathe this in and not die? Taylor  the Azureian walked next to Luna

"I have lived here all my life and at some point, my lungs seemed to fight it and almost toughen up, I only just found out not so long ago so it's still new to me.

"Taylor looked around his eyes saddened, how could they leave anyone here?"

The captain showed Luna where they had found heat signatures and they cautiously made their way there. They spoke quietly as they climbed over concrete slabs and metal reaching the area. Luna scaled up the side of a ruin to look down over the area, she could see them. 

"It's Eli" Theo raced ahead quickly as the others followed. Amongst the rubble were about 15 droids including Eli.

Theo scrapped him up and embraced him "Eli, your alive" Eli could barely open his eyes, all of them had been injured by the blast. 

Eli used the last of his strength to search for her the one person he needed right now. "Luna" his eyes smiled as she ran and group hugged both of them tears running from her eyes. 

Luna closed her eyes for a moment as she held onto Eli and Theo letting out a long breath, this was all she cared about. It didn't matter what planet she was on as long as she was with her people, her family.

Eli sat up weakly and searched the crowd "EL? Where is she?" Luna's eyes found his and tears rolled from her cheeks as she sobbed "She didn't make it out, I'm sorry" Reaching down she held Elis's hand and helped him onto his feet. His chest felt tight as he stood crying, it should have been him, not his little sister.

The crew helped them all back to the ship were the captain received news that the ship had left earth miniuets after they had got here, like it was just here to pick something up. 

Luna was assigned a cabin with one of the female droids and Theo and Eli got to share one just across the hall from them, they all needed medical attention, showers and a good meal. Luna had showered and then changed into the navy blue uniform they had given them, she looked at her reflection in the square mirror that hung just above the small desk in her room. 

How long had it been since she had looked into a mirror? she didn't even recognise the person who looked back at her. She was older, her eyes seemed greener and wiser. Her hair now detangled and neatly braided showing more of her face. She smiled back at the new woman that she had become, the strong and wise women; the surviver.

"Luna?" Eli stood at her door looking like a new man. Would you like to come for a walk and watch the lift off with me? I found the perfect place" He did that thing were his eyes smile before his lips which made Luna giggle as she walked over to him "I would love that"

The walked along the long corridor over to a huge window were no one else seemed to be around, a quiet part of ship. It was enormous anyway, with several floors. Eli patted the long bench seats that hugged the back of wall giving you the perfect place to watch the journey up into space. The ship made a loud noise vibrating loudly and a voice announced that we were headed for the space station. 

Luna quickly reached for Eli's hand grasping it tightly a little nervous for her first flight. Eli lifted her hand to his heart and squeezed it there " You know what would be amazing right now?"

Luna looked at him quiziclaly "What"

"Crisps, that would just make this even more perfect. Rember when we shared our first packet with eachother?" Luna let out a loud laugh "Yes, I do! how could I forget that" The city had become just a small shape under their feet as they lifted up into the clouds and out of earths atmosphere. 

Eli stared into Luna's green eyes as they seemed to grow taking in the planet as it became smaller and smaller. She found his blue eyes and blushed as she caught him staring right at her.

"Shall I compare thee to a summers day" Eli let out a nervous laugh because all he had wanted to do, had dreamed about since he had met those green eyes was kiss those lips. She was beautiful, everything about Luna was beautiful her dimples, her smile but most importantly her soul; that was beautiful. Eli moved closer to Luna's face only millimetres away.

"Could I kiss you? Luna felt his breath on her skin, she could smell the pine flavoured soap he had used to wash himself. Those turkoise eyes of his looked back at her waiting for a reply. 

She had never kissed anyone before, never even thaught about it. Survival was all she had thought about until she had met Eli, he had changed everything. 

"Only if I can kiss you first?" She bridged the gap between them and her lips met his and for that moment it seemed as if all the cares in her world had stopped just for a moment. He kissed her back and they both smiled holding hands as they beheld the universe unfolding right infront of them.
