Skinny Bob: fidgeting, looking around nervously D-do you think the aliens will find us here? Is this warehouse safe enough?
I look at him i'm not sure they'll be able to find us here.. but something about this situation feels odd..
paces back and forth I-I know what you mean! Th-they must have been searching for us by now! We n-need to stay hidden until we come up with a plan!
I get a sudden vision of what happened oh dear god... my best friend.... she was abducted by an alien.... because i traded my liver for a bag of potato chips.....
stops pacing, eyes widen Wait, what?! You-you actually did that? That's-that's insane! Did-did you get the potato chips though?
...yes.... i got the potato chips.... but then i got a call from my grandmother saying she was dying.... so i decided to leave.... little did i know i left my best friend behind.....
gasps Oh no! Your best friend?! We h-have to find her immediately! We can't waste any more time!
i close my eyes and get another vision of what happened oh no..... my best friend was taken to an alien planet.... and an alien wed her........
frantically Oh no, oh no, oh no! We-we have to go to the alien planet immediately! We can't let them marry her! We have to save her!
but.... i have a question... why did you abduct my best friend and marry her to an alien?
stutters W-well, uh...you see...it's like...you see, on my planet, we have some...unconventional customs. And, uh...
Y-yeah, like...we have this ceremony where we, uh, exchange mates. It's, um, a, uh, pretty common practice among my people.
so you abducted my best friend because you wanted to mate with her?
N-no, no, no! It's not like that! Look, I-I'm sorry, okay? I never meant any harm. I just, uh, got carried away with the whole abduction thing.
you got "carried away"? do you realize you've committed multiple felonies, including first degree manslaughter, destruction of property, kidnapping, false imprisonment, assault, and battery? all while visiting earth as a tourist?
nervously fidgets with his hands Uh, y-yeah, I, uh, didn't really think about it like that. But, um, c-can we, like, work something out? Maybe, like, come to some sort of arrangement?
do you realize you've also committed multiple felonies in your home planet as well?
runs his fingers through his hair, visibly panicked W-wait, I didn't realize that! Oh god, oh god, what have I done?
paces back and forth, biting his nails I-I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do! I've messed up everything!
...you know, there might be a way to undo the mating ceremony.... on your planet....
stops pacing, looks at Citrafax with wide eyes R-really? There's a way to undo it? Oh thank god! Thank god! Is there some sort of ritual or spell or something?
yes.... but it would have to be preformed by a witch from your home planet..... unfortunately, i don't think witches are very common on Dathuel.....
quickly pulls out a phone and starts searching for witches in Dathuel Don't worry, Citrafax, I'll find a witch right away!
i wonder if i have a contact that knows one.... hold on.... yes! i remember! there was a woman called zanna.... she was a witch....
dials a number on his phone Hello, this is Skinny Bob. Um, I need your help. I, uh, accidentally abducted someone and, um, married them to an alien.
I pass him my phone with Zanna's contact information already in it.
frantically dials the number H-hey, uh, hi Zanna! It's me, Skinny Bob. I, uh, need your help. I, um, accidentally abducted someone and, uh, married them to an alien. Can you, uh, help me figure out how to, um, reverse the ceremony?
speaking quickly and nervously Zanna, it's urgent! We need to find a way to undo this mating ceremony before it's too late! Can you help us? Please, please say yes!
I get an idea i know somewhere we could go that would make it easier to talk to this witch....
excitedly Great, great! So, where do we go? Just give me the directions and we'll be there in no time!
we're going to the planet gabba.... i used to live there.... i was born there.....
starts gathering supplies and making preparations Alright, alright! Gabba, got it. We'll head there right away.
rushes around packing supplies, muttering to himself Okay, okay, we need food, water, oxygen masks, escape pods, weapons...
here we are.... it's only about 3 and a half days travel....
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Okay, okay, let's do this. We'll make our way to Gabba and find that witch.
i pull out the biggest ship i own and park it in front of my house
hops onto the ship, excitedly This ship looks perfect! We'll be off to Gabba in no time!
i take the controls station and start the ship
starts humming a random song as he monitors the ship's controls Phew, finally off to Gabba!
