The transport pod

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

The transport pod

The transport pod orbited around Earth, beaming Capsules down to the houses of CBers. Despite the suspicious appearance of the large silver Capsules popping into exsistence right in front of the CBers, Galaxy knew that they would still flock to MilkyWay Station. Flock there to die. Galaxy grinned. And slapped her hand down on the huge red button. 

It did nothing. 

She just enjoyed pressing it. 

~~~~~~~

You plop down on the couch with a large bar of chocolate and begin snacking on it. Ow, Something's poking you in the back! You reach behind the couch cushion and pull out the TV remote. "Aha! That's where it was!" you say, and reward yourself on your obviously superior finding abilities with a large bite of chocolate. You turn on the TV to your favorite station. But... It's just static! "What? Nooooo!!!" you cry in anguish and flip through the rest of the channels. They're all static. Despondently, you allow yourself to collapse dramatically across the couch and snag a bite of chocolate. Unfortunately, your acting genius is inturrupted by a large, very hard object. Conveniently placed where your head lands. You sit up indignantly and rub your head. As you turn to see the offending object that put an abrupt ending to your acting career in dramatic fainting, the chocolate falls out of your mouth as you gape in astonishment. Sitting innocently on the couch is a sleek metal tube that tapers to a point at each end. As you watch, a slot opens up in the seemingly seamless silver steel (ahaha alliteration!) and a voice as sleek as the Capsule it issues from filters out. 

~~~~~~~

Galaxy loved pressing buttons. She tried to do it as much as possible. Presently, she reached up to the ceiling of the transport pod and pressed a small yellow button. Her voice boomed out from the speakers of 14 well-placed Capsules: "Greetings and salutations lucky CBers!" There was an almost undetectable hint of sarcasm on the word 'lucky', but it was so slight that only a very experienced sarcasmist would notice. Galaxy continued with her speech: "You have been chosen for a very exclusive vacation. So exclusive, in fact, that you are the only ones besides myself and our various staff members who will ever experience it! This vacation (insert dramatic pause) is in (insert long dramatic pause) SPACE!" Galaxy imagined the screeches of excitement coming from the CBers. Screeching was a very humanlike trait, and Galaxy did not enjoy it. She rolled her eyes and then continued on: "You have 7 minutes to pack and round up your companion, then return to the Capsule and insert a chocolate bar in the slot. You will be transported to the MilkyWay Space Station where I will meet you. Don't be late. I will be timing you. Now GO!" Galaxy pressed an hourglass shaped purple button, which started the seven minute timer. Then she slammed down hard on the ignition button and the transport pod rocketed out into deep space.

The MillyWay Space Station boasts many space luxuries including the AntiGravity Hall, the Luxury Space Pool, the Theater with a different sci-fi movie everyday, Lyft-Off Planet Transport, The Chocolate Bar, and much, much more.

Shhh... I have been invited aboard this chocolate-loving adventure due to my telepathic connections. Ask no more! (Sorry, I won't be on CB though, just here)

I fear there aren't many other almost-chocolate-haters out there besides me. Noooo I need my army of salt lovers!!

GALAXY I DEMAND FREE POPCORN. NOW. (Well, at least I snuck aboard a single bag of popcorn xD). Pleaseee I will do the dishes! Or uh... serve chocolate? *Gags* By the way, I love your writing style and story so far! Rest in chocolate, dear Alizarine. Oh, and have fun on your trip!

Oh hey, Leafpool! Are you a chocolate hater too by chance?

submitted by Ashlee G., age 17, The Future
(June 20, 2018 - 11:15 am)

Nope, not a chance. 

Mm, I'll join your popcorn strike if there is one. Maybe we can both quit eating chocolate (it'll be harder for me) until we get free popcorn. Y'know, I haven't really been caring much about the expensive popcorn/no food but chocolate and expensive popcorn thing. Maybe I should.

Awwh.

Oh yes, you could! (If it's too hard, I could sneak you in some chocolate during the strike without them seeing). Popcorn is always worth fighting for, even though I don't like it much. It beats chocolate!

I don't give out free popcorn, darling. I need some sort of compensation. And I don't care in the slightest whether or not you serve chocolate, that's Galaxy's territory. I'm looking for something a little more . . . concrete. Some rain, perhaps? Or a piece of your soul?

AGH. How horrible. This is something like bullying or...holding the popcorn for ransom. Yes! That's it! Jupiter's holding the popcorn for ransom--see, it's completely unjust!

*Jupiter I can give you discarded dragon scales.*

Uhh... I thought Gynn doesn't shed.

*She DIDN'T shed. but now she does. Something about dragon hormones. She also gets mood swings. They consist of Happy, More Happy, Even More Happy, and Most Happy. You know? I really hope she doesn't get killed. Hey Galaxy is it possible if at least Grynn escapes?*

Galaxy: Nope. (No but seriously please don't kill Grynn I really like her :) )

*Pulls handgun back out*
