fuel station. He fueled up. While, he is fueling up, the tendor at the fuel station asked, "Have you seen these three?" The tendor presented a poster with pictures of Tom, Light, and Will. "No", answered Light.

The fueling was finished and the fugitives are now ready to leave.

They left the station and started to move on down the road to the line of LSC's waiting to exit Starmos City. Each LSC was being inspected to make sure the fugitives weren't on board. They were being scanned.

It was an anxious moment for the trio of fugitives because, they couldn't be sent back to the hole.

"After this, our ordeal in Starmos City will be over." Will replied, "You hope." Light was checked and, surprisingly, he was granted approbation by the scan machine to go ahead and leave the alien city once and for all. Now, they are free from Starmos City. As they left, none of the three thought to look back.

It is nine o' clock in the evening and the trio of fugitives have made a swift departure from Starmos City. They made it onto Highway D outside of the city. The trio can feel some solace and relief; they left the city for good. All of sudden the radio and television talkshow on Starmos TV
Tough Jackie
interrupted the music.

"Ladies and Gentlemen and fellow aliens, the trio of suspects, Tom Jackson, Light S. Cycle, and Will Von Alien, have mysteriously disappeared. Apparently, they managed to come into my RV and, they acted as guests who posed as fellow media personnel. However, I found out that they were the suspects when one of them told one of my staff members about what they did. I tried to take action. But, the trio of suspects managed to escape the RV. And, they left town for good. I believe that they are fleeing to planet Earth. Now, we have a bigger problem, We don't have an extradition policy with Earth, and we will have to commit an invasion which will cause collateral damage. So, that idea is out of the question", said Jackie on the radio.

While, Tom, Light, and Will were traveling to Planet Earth, Jackie was at a press conference at the Starmos Convention Center.

The Convention Center has arched windows that are transparent and the windows appear to have a clear color. The room where the conference is hosted has one hundred and fifty chairs and a carpet that has a dark yellow color, that would almost be considered to be a goldenrod. The ceilings in the conference hall are a creamy beige color and the walls have ornately designed wallpaper. The wallpaper has leaf imprints that are rugged. The leaf imprints are crimson colored and the ornate designs in the wall paper are gold colored. The walls are a dark green color.

One of the fellow media members at the press conference asked, "Well, is there any alternative way besides waiting to catch these three fugitives?" "Yes", answered Jacqueline. She continued, "We are going to have a possible invasion, even though it will be hard. We will have to find a needle in a haystack. But, in order to carry out the invasion, we will have to get permission from Cornelius.

Now, is everyone in the room in agreement with the invasion?" The aliens are silent.

She said, "You can deliberate on this invasion. However, you better have a unanimous decision within the next five minutes." "Or else what?" asked another media member. "Just listen to me and work with everyone to make a unanimous decision." For five minutes conversations and deliberations have been occurring. After five minutes, the prosecutor returned back to the podium. "Has everyone in the room made unanimous decision?" "No, we do not", answered a female spokesperson.

The prosecutor rolled her eyes in disgust and anger and she clenched her teeth and said "Fine, then, you all will return to deliberations. And, I better get a verdict immediately. Do you all understand?" "Yes, ma'am", answered all of the aliens in the conference room at the convention center. They all started to deliberate again.

The prosecutor walked out of the press conference for a short personal intermission, and she entered the main hall of the Starmos Convention Center. The main hall has arched windows that have a a view of CVA Boulevard and, there are seven panes on every window.

There is one pane that separates the arch from the rectangle that supported the window and, three panes that make five cuttings in the arch. There are two panes that are shown from the top to the bottom of the rectangular part of the window and one pane that that is the symmetrical horizontal equator of the window. The floors are ornate marble floors which have beautiful design patterns. Outside of the press conference is a bar that serves a variety of drinks. The bartender is a human being who came over from planet Earth. Often, in Starmos City, human beings are alienated especially after an event when one of the three fugitives being a human. This human being has brown hair and almond black eyes.

He has fair skin and, he is six feet five inches tall. He is a college student at AU (Alien University.) But, for the summer, he has a job as a bartender at the Starmos Convention Center. The prosecutor crinkled her eyes and shown an angry face. He asked her respectfully, "Would you care for a beverage?" "Sure", answered the snooty prosecutor. He then asked her, "What kind of drink is at your request ma'am?" "Seltzer with a lime", answered the prosecutor. He gave the beverage with a nice attitude. "Have a nice day", said the bartender.

She gave him a dirty look and walked back into the conference center with her drink.

She returned back to the stage and asked the citizens at the press conference, "Do you all have a unanimous decision regarding this invasion?" "Ma'am, we still don't have a unanimous decision", answered the female spokesperson. The arrogant prosecutor slammed her drink on the podium and started yelling in frustration. "Are you all out of your mind? You should make a decision to prosecute. Instead of being numbskulls and not making a decision, learn how to take an analytical stance. Shame on all of you. But, then again, it is not your decision that counts. It's your leader's decision that counts. So, the hell with your opinion. I will call Cornelius to come over here to make the important decision." She walked out of the press conference for a second time and made a phone call to Cornelius.

He answered the phone, "Hi there, Cornelius Von Alien speaking, ruler of Starmos City. How may I help you?" She said, "Yes, it is Jacqueline, the prosecutor of Starmos City. I need you to come down to the convention center regarding a decision of import regarding an invasion of Earth regarding three fugitives. Can you do that?" He answered, "Sure, I can. I will be down there. Just close your eyes and count to ten." She hung up the phone and silently counted to ten and closed her eyes. He arrived. She said to him, "You came here quite quickly." "I know, I used a teleportation device to bring me here.

Now, where is the press conference taking place?" asked Cornelius Von Alien. The prosecutor is pointing to the room and replied, "Over here." They both walked into the room and Cornelius is the only one to approach the podium. In the room, side conversations are occurring between all of the alien citizens and media reporters.

He yelled explicitly, "I demand silence." All the aliens in the room became more silent than a church mouse. He then said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, and fellow comrades, I am sure your royal prosecutor discussed a possible invasion of Earth to find the top three most wanted fugitives in Starmos City. And, I'm sure you all know that she consulted me to carry out an invasion. Well, I am giving the complete approval for an invasion." The prosecutor jumped on the stage screaming in elation. And, the audience members remained silent.

Cornelius asked the audience, "Well, where are your cheers?"

Phony cheers happened in the audience. And, the press conference ended. Everyone left the conference with different attitudes. It is nine fifteen in the evening, and the conference just ended. Meanwhile, the trio of fugitives are on the run from the tyrannical government in Starmos City. Tom asked, "Oh my God, why are they having a press conference about us three?"

"Because, they have a perfect opportunity to show their animosity towards man kind. And, this press conference then attracts a media circus. So, don't ask such a stupid and inconsequential question", answered Light. "Well, maybe to you it is silly ass question. But, this question to me is a very important question", replied Tom. "Now, why do you think the question that you asked me is so important?" Will interrupted, "Ladies, stop fighting over a silly question and, Light, his question was an important question."

"We're not ladies", replied Tom and Light. "More importantly, where are we planning our escape destination?" asked Will. "Earth", answered Tom. As the trio of fugitives were leaving the alien city and entering the orb highway, there was a sigh of relief. "Even though, this place has brought a lot of nostalgia to my life. I have to say thank God, we're out of this city", said Light. "I know", replied Tom.

After clearing his throat, Will asked, "Should I say this now, while you two are having your jubilation?" As soon as the alien fugitive said this just now, Tom's grin of celebration disappeared and he answered in the form of question, "Is this going to be some good news or will it sabotage my happiness?" "I'm sorry to say this, but it is sad news", answered Will.

"Get it out of your system", replied Light. "If you were listening on the radio, Cornelius gave the permission for the alien army to raid planet Earth and find us", said Will. "Well, how can this future problem be resolved?" asked Tom. "I will keep you on Earth to send out alerts to every mortal human", answered Light. "How long do you expect us to do that?" asked Tom. "If the aliens are planning to invade Earth within twenty four hours, then we will be able to travel to the Mayor of California County, who will send out Alerts to the citizens of Earth", answered Light.

"What shall we do from there?" asked Will. "We will escape to a planet that is far away from Earth, and an unknown place that is away from those beastly aliens", answered Light. After two minutes of driving on the highway to the universe, a constellation had shown the word Earth. The dots in this particular constellation are not connected. "Earth", screamed Tom. "Where?" asked Light. "Two and a half hours from here", answered Tom. "Wow, real funny", replied Will sarcastically.

"You are nothing but a shit-fer- brain, Tom. You should be ashamed of yourself for making such a sudden move like that. You could have made us gone astray on this road and I would've gone sidewinder into another planet. So, don't do any sudden or boisterous move like that again, especially when I am driving", said Light. "Why am I being shamed so much for what I did?" asked Tom. "Well, you could've caused Light to go out of control which would have messed up getting us to Earth and, we would've been screwed up. So, yeah, you should be ashamed of yourself. People like you belong in a circus", answered Will.

"Stop fighting, you two", said Light. "I am fighting for a probable and just cause. Tell that imbecile to stop hindering us", replied Will. "Hey, let's get one thing straight. I am not an imbecile.

You are an insolent fool for saying such a thing. You have a ton of audacity to talk to me like that", said Tom angrily. "Excuse me, Who are you to talk to me like that? But, the last I checked you were the ignorant fool who belonged in the circus", replied Light. "That's not true", said Tom angrily clenching his teeth. "The two of you better be quiet and I mean it this time", screamed Light. "What will you do to us then if we continue?" asked Tom. "You will be feeling my wrath.

Because, if there is one thing that I can't stand, it is when there is fighting on board", answered Light. "Ooh, I am scared", replied Tom sarcastically.

"You better be scared" said Light. "What can we do to get ourselves preoccupied while we're traveling to Earth?" asked Will.

Light answered, "I have a nice video game that everyone plays in here. It is an amazing game that everyone loves." "What game is that?" asked Tom. "Starspeeder seven thousand, I believe. It goes something like that. But, I will dispense two aPads that shall give you the ability to play the game", answered Light. "When will you dispense them?" asked Will. "Give me a chance", answered Light.

The LSC remained silent for thirty seconds and, two aPads were dispensed. These aPads looked like a touch screen computer that was in the shape of an apple.

"Cool", said Tom. "Light, I think you fit the category of an extraordinary folk", said Will. "Thank you", replied Light. The game is being played on both of their screens. Tom Jackson and Will Von Alien are immersed into a flight simulator game. The flight simulator looks like a mundane cockpit. However, the only difference is that there is not a joystick present in the game and, there's a red dot in the virtual cockpit. The significance of this red dot is to fire a laser.

"What is the objective of this game?" asked Will. "I want the two of you to listen to me. The point of this game is to destroy asteroids. Now, there isn't a joystick in this virtual cockpit. At the top right corner, of this virtual cockpit, your score will be kept. If you are wondering about the red dot in this fake cockpit, well that is the dot that will fire off the laser. Initially, it will be hard for you guys to control this thing and shoot the laser at the same time. But, after getting some use out of this, you will be able to shoot the laser and maneuver the virtual vehicle at the same time", answered Light.

"How do you control the vehicle?" interrupted Tom. "Now, if you wouldn't have interrupted me, we would be able to get to that subject matter. To maneuver this vehicle, you move the aPad around.

Now, this is the last time I will say this. Initially, it will be a challenge. But, after getting used to it, you will be able to have complete control of the vehicle", said Light. "Okay, I can see where you're coming from", replied Tom. "Thank you. Now, do me one favor", said Light. "And, what would that be?" asked Tom. "Shut up, and concentrate on the game", answered Light.

"Both Will and Tom, started to play the game. Tom is in the lead. But, Will is far behind. So who'll be the winner?" said Tom's aPad. After five minutes of playing the game, there was a winner.
