I wake up, late at night and notice that I'm in bed, laying next to Katie, and our children, all of which seem to have snuck into bed. Not all of them came to the Park. Tadashi, Hiro [OMG I swear], Kirsten, and Natasha.
I get dressed and go outside for a nighttime stroll. Well, more like a night flight. I walk to the city and then start flying. For the first time, I notice glowing orange boxes all around the city. I go over and touch the nearest one. It bursts into a brilliant array of glittering orange sparks. I stumble back, a look of amazement on my face. I quickly follow a path of orange lights to each of the boxes. I touch each one, each having the same reaction as the first. The boxes are slowly getting lower to the ground, and I finally reach the last one, landing in front of a hidden base. A man in a suit comes out to greet me.
"Welcome," he says. "Please come inside!" I follow him into the building and he gestures to a staircase. I walk up, not thinking about it. "Do you notice anything strange?" I look around. I look back at him and notice that the stairs are tilted. I walk into a room with rows of chairs. I walk toward three chairs separated from the rest by two walls.
"Do you notice anything strange?"
Turning, turning, turning. The whole room is turning. I'm still on the floor, standing straight, but the turning. Turning, turning, turning. I walk to the chairs and by the time I sit down the turning has stopped and the whole room is upside down. I notice seat belts and I buckle up. The door to the staircase closes. Other people are in the room, but I don't pay attention to them. I toss and turn on the seats, not quite comfortable.
After a long time, the door opens. Everyone gets up and gets out. I follow suit. I walk into what seems to be a giant, bustling anime store. I wander around, not sure where I am. I've never seen anything like this on Earth.
I continuously pass by a store with figures set out on display. Some Legend of Zelda ones really catch my eye, but I have no money.
"You know," a girl says coming up to me. I look over and realize that it's my friend Maegan. "You should have stayed on Earth. It's nearly impossible to go back once you've left."
"Yeah, and if you say anything to an authority figure about getting back, you could go to prison or possibly die." Another person has walked up behind me, I recognize him too. Zach. We stare at the figures and continue to talk.
"I need to go back to Earth, I know where the space station is," I tell them. And with that we start a plan to escape from this planet.
"Do you think this place is too expensive?!" A man hidden in shadows shouts. We turn around and see about 7 girls huddled by a podium, shaking in fear. The man on the podium glares down at them.
"Yes," most of the girls respond. 2 of them shake their heads.
"Yes." The man sighs and rubs his eyes. He pulls out a weapon, and before the girls can even scream, the ones who said yes were electrocuted.
"We need to get out of here now," Maegan states. She looks at me, crazed look in her eyes. I quickly send a message to my family to get on the shuttle and meet me on it. Then, I nod and lead them to the space station that I came from. We climb aboard, afraid that the government might find us and kill us.
