Izzy & Eliza...an alien tale

  ~~AFTERWORD~~

  A being sat in her comfy old plaid recliner she had pilfered off a street corner in New York City. She held the rough, calloused hand of a certain snow cone pusher she had recently come across.

  As the two whizzed through the galaxy of the Redringo Quadrant, they could hear the remnants of a party winding down, deep in the bowels of the ship named Leon.

  "Man, those Fester Tails are loud," Yarn said irritably, listening to the fading revelers and smelling the odors of a gourmet meal wafting toward the cabin.

  "Ohh, leave them be. They have a goot time," Laddie said with his thick, not-quite-Russian-sounding-accent.

  "Well, they could have invited me, at the very least, seeing as how this is my ship," she snapped back in irritation.

  "Just so you'll know," a voice sounded over the loudspeakers, "I will no longer be referred to as your ship. I am Leon, hear me roar."

  Yarn rolled her eyes as Leon playfully roared, blocking out the sounds of the Fester Tails finishing up the rest of their celebration.

  Yarn had to admit, they were a clever people those Fester Tails, working hard for the good of the group. They did deserve a celebration; it was just in old Yarn's nature to be grumpy on the occasion. Plus, she missed her friends.

  "Vladdie, do you think Izzy and Eliza will be okay at school, living on the main planet, away from home?" Yarn asked her companion.

  "If you want to know how they are doink, why don't you just look?" he replied.

  Yarn pushed a button. Suddenly, a boy and a girl popped up on the screen, holding hands, walking into a beautiful green Klesian sunset. The boy watched the girl.

  Far away, in a different space, Yarn observed the boy, watching the girl. Yarn smiled, seeing her two friends walking hand in hand. Suddenly, all of her worries melted away. As long as they had each other, Izzy and Eliza could handle anything.

  Even though the being purposefully remained unheard, she spoke to the boy and girl nonetheless.

  "This show is about to get good."
