TIMING IS EVERYTHING
"Wow....."
"Its so.... Spacious....."
"Yes, Monte Vista closed down in the year 2500 and Oasis Landing grew from it's ashes"
"Well, Have fun. I must be off..."
"Wait! Emit!"
Emit turned back around. "What is it?"
"I won't cause anything to mess up the present will I?..."
"Like if I murder someone and spread their blood across the ground to spell out demonic chants?...."
"That would only do something to your time if it was done before YOU were born... this is long after that happened...."
"Oh okay, so nothing to worry about...."
"Indeed, And remember to switch on the portal for whenever you want to return home. Personally you shouldn't spend too long here, or you might become anomalized...."
Leefah looked back at the portal and towards town hall, excited to begin exploring
"I'll be here all day, if you want to return to your time, please let me know first"
"Sure thing Emit"
"Also, take this Jet-pack and Hover-board. You'll fit in better"
"Oh um.... Okay" Leefah accepted the gifts and quickly slipped on the Jet-pack.
"Have fun"
Emit headed back inside, immediately greeted by his servants.
"Wow.... Rich, Smart... Handsome..."
"What was that?" Emit asked back.
"NOTHING!" Leefah answered, blushing.
Leefah turned back towards town hall, the wind blowing through her hair.
"It's so amazing... This is how far civilization comes....."
"And I'm lucky enough to see this!" Leefah said smiling.
She looked up towards the sky.
"Time to sprout these Wings of Freedom..." she said, squatting down.
Flipping a switch on the shoulder strap of the Jet-pack, Leefah shot into the air and flew across the center of town.
"That looks like a good place to land"
Leefah gently planted her feet on the ground and looked around.
"Hmm..... Perhaps over there?...."
"This place... It's so beautiful..."
Leefah looked around at the amazing designs of the artwork around town square.
"Even that family...."
"They're so happy...." She mumbled, tearing up at the thought of a Mother Father and Daughter together.
Leefah saw a statue that had a familiar shape. She walked over and examined it.
"Emit Relevart.... Time Traveler...."
"So he's a famous person around here...."
Suddenly, Leefah heard people shouting and ran off to see what was happening.
"Why are people screaming..."
Leefah stopped once she reached the town hall.
"What the...."
"BAN THE PLUMBOTS!! TAKE THEIR RIGHTS!!" shouted an old lady.
Leefah looked up at the towering building and then at the old lady.
"Plumbots?...."
"Guess I got some research to do...." Leefah said snickering. She flipped the switch of her jetpack and shot off once more.
She flew alongside the wall of the town hall.
"The view is amazing!!..."
"And the sky!!... So.... Open....."
"So Blue..... So Beautiful..."
Leefah hit her leg on a branch of an obstructed object.
She began to fly out of control, "CRAP!! AHHH!!!"
She managed to stop her jet-pack from flying out of control by flying straight up.
She looked down and screamed, stopping the Jet-pack and she fell straight into the ground.
Leefah moaned and struggled to get free of the ground.
She gasped for air as she stepped free of the dirt.
"ugh..."
"Maybe I should be more careful...."
She turned back and saw other women joining into the protest.
"Why are they complaining.... Is there something wrong with the things they call plumbots?...."
"Guess I should find out...."
She flipped her Jet-Pack back on and took off for more adventures.
"This place looks interesting..."
Leefah entered into a glass room, filled with many gadgets. She also noticed someone standing behind what looked like a consignment counter.
"Excuse me?...."
The object looked up at Leefah, "Android PAL-3000 at your service"
"Where... Where am I?..."
The Android looked over at Leefah, "This. Is. A. Bot Workshop..... Those. That. Wish. To Purchase. A Plumbot. Must. Come. To. Me."
Leefah looked back and walked over to PAL. "So... You're a plumbot?...."
The android looked at Leefah up and down, scanning her. "Yes."
Leefah grabbed its hand and shook it.
'Nice to Meet You, I'm Leefah." she said, smiling.
PAL was surprised, "Uh..... Leefah?.... Why. Would. Human. Shake. Plumbots. Hand...."
"That's how you great someone right?.... I was only being nice?..."
"But. Humans. And. Plumbots. Not. Get. Along.... We Serve. You Command."
"That doesn't seem so fair.... I think you have the right to do what you should... You seem human enough to run this store..."
The plumbot began to tear up with oil in its eyes. 'Wow... Nobody. Has. Ever. Been. That. Nice. To. PAL."
"Well You're welcome. I guess that makes us friends right?"
PAL tilted it's head.
"Friend....."
"Yeah, Friend" Leefah answered, Smiling.
"Friend.... Friend. Help. Put. In. Trait?"
"Trait?...."
"Trait. Chip."
"Uh... Alright..." Leefah answered worriedly,
PAL handed her a screwdriver. "Friend. Chip. Screw. In"
Leefah held up the screwdriver.
"Okay.... I can try..."
PAL slipped a microchip into Leefah's hand a tilted it's head forward
She screwed the chip into a little slot on the side of PAL's neck.
'There... I think it worked...."
PAL looked up and blinked.
"You okay?..."
".....................Yes"
Leefah sighed of relief.
"Now..... We. High. Five."
Leefah looked at PAL and laughed. "Okay then"
"Um... So PAL.... Do you know where I can find something to eat? I'm starving..."
PAL began a thought process and answered her. "Across. Town. Square."
"Okay then, Thanks for the info"
Leefah slipped her Jet-Pack back on and headed for the door. "Let's Meet again PAL"
"Yes. Lets...... Friend...."
"Ah..... So nice.... This place is so interesting...."
"This is across the square from the Bot Workshop....."
A group of Plumbots served drinks and food to humans.
"Hmm... Where can I find some food..."
Leefah noticed a weird object on the counter and walked over.
'What the heck is this...."
"Ma'am, do you need help?" asked a server Plumbot.
"Oh... No thank you..."
"Dang, I really want some grape juice..."
The machine flashed, "Request Confirmed."
"Huh?..."
A glass of grape juice slid out from the center of the device.
"Is this... Grape Juice?...."
Leefah lifted the cup to her mouth and drank from it.
"WHOA!.... I FEEL SO ENERGIZED!!" she looked around and ran off to explore more.
The crowd from before continued their chant.
Also having increased their numbers.
"The old lady from before seems to have gotten more to join her...."
"Wonder why they hate the plumbots so much..."
"Oh well... Best I get going! More to explore!"
"AHHH!!!!!!"
Leefah lifted herself off the ground again. "I should work on my landing more.. I did so well the first few times"
She looked around and saw a pile of debris.
She walked over and began to dig into it.
She found a small fragment of what looked like a round key.
"What the heck is this for..."
Leefah walked over and looked at what seemed to be a crashed ship.
"Wonder what this used to be...."
She noticed the small hole in the center of the door.
"Wow.... That looked like part of the fragment could fit there.... Wonder if it's part of a key...."
The sun began to set and Leefah went running off.
She slid along the ground and got ready to take off.
"One last time for the night!!"
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Leefah screamed for her life as she slammed into the ground once again.
"ugh......"
"I need to work this out better..."
Leefah made her way up the stairs and waved to Emit.
"Oh Leefah! Come on in! How was your day in Oasis Landing?"
"It was great, I wanted to asked you about a couple of things before I leave though..."
"And what's that?...."
"It's about the crashed ship, and why people hate the plumbots so much...."
An old woman looked out over Oasis Landing from her house.
"This feeling.... It's the same as that day..... From so long ago...."
The womans wings flapped slowly and she hovered off the ground.
"I know that feeling of a soul from anywhere....."
"It must be....... I know it is...... Leefah's......"
MORE CHAPTERS SOON!!!
