Chapter 2 - N/A
Maddy followed me. "Hey!" she called. "You weren't going to leave without me, were you?" she demanded.

"Maddy…" I started to say.

"Who's going to help you when you get in trouble? Certainly not an alien," she said. "I'm coming with you."

She wasn't going to take "no" for an answer. I really cared a lot about Maddy. She was my friend, she was my SIR! I couldn’t leave her behind!

"Okay," I decided, as if I would have a choice anyway. She'd find a way to follow me even if I didn't let her come.

Then Maddy and I started looking for Tirm's old Voot Runner. When we did find it, it was still in the same condition Tirm left it in. Which wasn't terribly good, but it worked. Maddy and I got in the cockpit and I started it.

"Okay, let's go," I said.

Maddy was staring out the window, pointing to every star she knew and saying its name. Then she went on about something about how pretty each star was. Oh, now I knew why Tirm had sometimes regretted giving her a personality.

We flew on for such a long time…I can't remember how long it was…Around six months, probably. We reached a planet.

"Oh…Wow…" I said. It was a beautiful planet. Blue, green, gray, and brown, all swirling together, surrounded by white clouds. From where I was, it looked like a colorful marble.

"Ooh, pretty," said Maddy. "Let's stop here."

"Yeah…" I said absentmindedly. I'd never seen a planet quite like this one before. I wondered what the creatures living on it looked like.

"Uh…Kal?" said Maddy, breaking me out of my trance. Oh, crap, I thought, sudden realization hitting me.

"Tirm never taught me how to land this thing!" I shrieked. "What the hell am I supposed to do?"

Maddy pushed me out of the way and took the controls.

"Maddy, you can't drive!" I yelled at her. We fought over the controls for a while, not realizing how close we were coming to the planet’s surface.

We crashed, of course. It would've been kind of fun, if it hadn't been so terrifying. "Maddy," I whispered. "are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied.

"Good."

Maddy thought for a moment about something. Then she asked, "Hey, what's this planet called, anyway?"

"Earth," I replied. It sounded so close to the name of my own planet. Earth. Irk. I wondered if there was a reason their names were so similar.

So we made a home for ourselves here, and disguised ourselves as the creatures that lived here. They were called "humans." Maddy and I walked around for a while, looking at everything. Wow, the planet was even more beautiful when you were standing on its surface.

We saw lots of people and other creatures as well, I learned that their names were squirrel, dog, butterfly, and bird. I also saw one human who I'll never forget the face of. He wore glasses and he had brown eyes and black hair.

"Wow, every one of them looks different," I said. Then Maddy and I went back home and waited anxiously for tomorrow to come.
