Chapter 11

“Did you have fun?” Lexi asks, as she parks in front of Connor’s house.

“Yeah,” he answers. “Your friends are great.”

“You sure bonded with Ashe,” she laughs.

Connor grins. “He’s a riot. He will totally get along with Derrick.”

“We should get everyone together next weekend,” Lexi suggests. “It would be fun.”

“Will your friends be here next weekend?” Connor asks.

Lexi grimaces. “We send ships to get them. So, it takes like an hour.”

“An hour around the world!” Connor gasps.

She bites her lip. “That is landing and driving them over here. We could make it all the way around the world in seconds.”

“No way,” he exhales.

“Yeah,” she replies. “It would send out a massive sonic boom and a trail through the hemisphere.”

“So, no radar can detect your ships.”

Shaking her head, Lexi says, “No. It’s almost like a cloaking.”

“Aliens,” Connor whispers. “It’s incredible.”

“You really can’t tell anyone,” Lexi sternly states.

He smiles at her. “Lexi, who would believe me? Maybe if we were at some sci-fi seminar or something. Or an alien abduction convention.”

“Well, at least wait until we abduct you,” Lexi scoffs.

“No probing.”

“No, we don’t probe,” Lexi declares. “We tie you by your toes from the ceiling.”

Connor rolls his eyes. “That doesn't sound very advanced. That actually sounds medieval.”

“Oh but we do it by suspending you in the air, freely.”

“Like flying!?” Connor exclaims.

“Uh huh,” Lexi says.

Shaking his head, he stammers, “I want to see that.”

“I wish you were Neturu,” Lexi groans. “There is so much I want to show you.”

“The whole idea is incredible,” Connor exhales, staring at her wide eyed.

Lexi nods. “Yeah, we are fully advanced. I’ve been to Jupiter.”

“What!” Connor gasps.

“I had to do a paper on the planet when I was younger, so my dad took us there. Actually took us into the planet. There wasn’t really much to see. It was all gas. But it was cool nonetheless.”

“Oh how incredible! I wish I could even see space.”

She tilts her head. “I can fly a runner ship. But, they might notice that you are there.”

“You can fly a ship? That’s so cool.”

“You’d surprised what I can do,” Lexi laughs. “Yeah, but I can fly a runner ship.”

“What’s a runner ship?”

Waving her hand from side to side, Lexi says, “It’s kind of our travel ships. The most they can carry is forty people. We do short, quick trips with them. They are fast, though.”

“Can they go into space?” Connor asks.

Lexi answers, “Yeah, everything we have can go into space. They are spaceships.”

“That’s so crazy,” he exhales.

“It's so normal for us,” Lexi snorts. “This is all so incredibly normal.”

“What’s the craziest thing you could do to the human race?”

Biting her lip, Lexi says, “Like to the human race?”

“If we started a war,” Connor states. “What could you do?”

“Deactivate your bombs with a click of a button,” Lexi replies.

“Like...what kind of bombs?” Connor asks.

She smiles. “Anything with electronics. We just deactivate them. Atomic bombs, we would just make them disappear.”

“Where would they go?”

With a grin, Lexi leans over and whispers, “We have beaming technology.”
