"And...we are clear from the Planets pull.
Jacklyn, mind explaining yourself?"
"Pleasure Island."
"Excuse me."
"That's why the Tetrafills are able to stay so young, but be so old. Alexa didn't go there to attract visitors to sleep away their woes."
"She sent them there to sleep. Permanently."
"You all felt it. The longer we are on that Surface, the more stasis we stay."
"Stasis?"
"You want to stay this way for the remaining years?"
"I don't know. I kinda like this look, and if I can get increased life with it….then why not?"
"Why not?….Why…..not? You've seen them. They are lazy, uncaring rule breakers. They have no urgency to do anything, for they know the saying 'leave it for tomorrow,' is actually true for them; since they do have a tomorrow. That's why they let their Planet go into a dump and was close to being like Petra, had not Alexa stepped in and updated their attractions."
"But Ariel rescues people. She said. This is the Emperor's ship."
"More like his deathtrap.They go out, rescue people. They ask for a new life, so on their journey back to Rocketa, the effects start taking place. Now, instead of a Dump; they see beauty."
"But it is beautiful. Alexa did that.
I don't know. We have detectives on board."
" 'Don't jump to conclusions based on insignificant evidence.' "
"Exactly. All I know is that I felt younger, and those Girls definitely acted younger. It takes their brain and leaves their body. Trade for trade"
"But Ariel was so smart when last I met her."
"That's why I said I don't know. Maybe just the Locals keep their memory. Let's just do what Theo said and swap Ships before we find out this one truly is a Deathtrap."
"Good idea. I don't want to exchange my long life for the image of a Donkey with no memory."
"Then push on it."
"I don't know where I am going."
"May I?"
"Theo?"
"Just give us directions. If anybody is going to be his copilot, it's me."
"Yes, Ma'am."
"Jacklyn, is that new Jewelry?"
"This?
Oh….Master gave it to me. You like the Bracelet?"
"Jacklyn never wears jewelry. Says Coach never lets her. Could get trapped."
"I'm not gonna fight in it. Who do you think I am? An imposter?"
"Could be."
"Woo, woo, woo. Jake….Kris...what are you doing?"
"I think we have an uninvited guest."
"Who? Jacklyn?
I hope you have proof for that and not just your word."
*Chihick*
"We have proof."
"We do?"
"Kris, don't leave me hanging. The Watch Bracelet on her hand."
"That means nothing. She stops time. She needs a watch to keep track of how long she has. Regular is too big, so this one feels...just like her."
"Maybe.
*Caclick*
But I'm not taking any chances. Now hands up before I...…..I...."
"Before we shoot. Who are you...…Shape…shifter?"
"Kris, Jake; stop this before one of you gets hurt. Magic always beats bullets."
"Jake, are you one hundred percent certain? I don't want to be on the losing side."
"You're not."
"I know. That's why I'm with you."
*...........Errrwwiiiiiiaaaaaannnnnnnkkk*
"I...….am...…Jacklyn."
"Then prove it.
*Pewwww*
"Vine...shi…..ellllddddddd!!!!!"
*TING*
*Wuuutish. Wuuutishh. Wuutish. Wuuitsh. Wuuutish*
"Perdalitadaling*
"........I rest my case."
"Alexa?"
"That's not Alexa."
".........Well. Aren't you going to welcome me home, Theo?"
