Neptunian Love

On Fewday , Anairam woke up at 12:00 noon. Before I continue you have to have a background of what is happening. I’m a reporter from the newspaper The New York Times. The story I’m going to tell happened about 2 months ago. It all started in Neptune on a Fewday, or Monday in our language, at 12:00 noon. Anairam was a Neptunian woman. She was 30 years old, and worked for the federal army. Now I will continue with the story.
On Fewday, Anairam woke up at 12:00 noon. She stood up lazily and went into the bathroom. She closed the door behind her. She was in there a couple of seconds, and then suddenly threw the door open. She was still dry, but not sleepy anymore. She was in such a hurry, she put her uniform on backwards. She slammed the door of her room, ran up the stairs, went past the living room, and suddenly she stopped. She turned around and ran the other way. Her mom was watching TV in the living room.
“Bye mom, see you later,” shouted Anairam.
Her mother, Aiculairam, waved at her as she muttered, “Late again. She’s fired, I can feel it!” Anairam jumped into her shuttle(in our world known as cars, with only one difference, shuttles could fly), turned it on, and flew up to the air. Anairam rushed through the packed airways, honking at anyone she saw.

When Anairam reached the base she ran all the way down(the Neptunians lived underground) to the air force floor. There Cpt.Solrac was waiting for her. Next to him were her two best friends , Aleinad and Naitsabes.
“Sorry, this won’t happen again, I promise. It’s jus-,” said Anairam breathing hardly.
“Soldier, there is no reason for being late. No reason. You have promised me things too many times, and you never keep your word,” said Cpt.Solrac in a very stern voice, almost shouting. “You may leave now, go to your office and stay there!”
Anairam snapped her legs together, and quickly threw up her right forearm, positioning her right hand right above her eyebrow, as a way to show respect to higher military ranks. When the captain did the same, she turned around, and stiffly walked away.
Anairam sat in her office, quietly working in her computer, when she heard a knock in the door. She stood up and opened it. There, in front of her stood Cpt.Solrac.
“Come with me, now,” he commanded, looking as if nothing had happened.
Anairam followed him through the halls, and into his office. There, again were her two best friends. The captains office was very big and untidy. Cpt.Solrac scrambled around his desk as if looking for something. He poked around some more and then pulled, from under a bunch of papers, a TV control.
“Here is why you are all in my office,” indicated Cpt.Solrac, as he punched the power button on the control. A huge cinema-like screen behind the captains desk turned on. The screen was showing a soft-blue house, as it zoomed in. The camera went inside the house and started to turn as a tall, black-haired, brown-eyed, man came into view. As soon as his head was on the upper left corner of the screen, the camera froze and letters started to appear. It was a profile, she had seen many of those in past years. The three friends started reading it automatically. They read for about five minutes and then Cpt.Solrac said, “Here is your mission; Tim Jones, a very smart, 32-year old scientist and astronomer, thinks and is trying to proof that there is life in other planets, to be more specific in this planet. Now you can probably imagine this is a problem. Your role; go to Earth, find Tim Jones, and bring him back to Neptune. You’ve got to go together in the Niob 316(it was a special type of military shuttle). Good luck, you have forty eight hours to do this. He saluted his soldiers, and turned around walking slowly back to his desk.
“Hey, Ana, come sit with us, have a snack,” exclaimed Aleinad in a loud voice.
Anairam was piloting the shuttle while her two best friends sat resting on the back. She stood up, unbuckled her seat belt, and pushed the auto pilot button. She walked a few steps and then reached the visiting area. That was what they called it, for it had two sofas and two arm chairs forming a rectangle with a coffee table in the center. Naitsabes was bringing some cakes. They sat quietly for some minutes. Suddenly a red light started blinking and beeping. Anairam stood up and sat in the pilot seat.
“We are going to enter the Earth’s atmosphere, so fasten your seat belts,” said Anairam to her friends. The shuttle went into the Earth’s atmosphere with a shake and traveled until it was above England.
Tim Jones was coming home from a fund raising event. He was the only one in the road and he was listening to the radio. He has the music so loud that he did not hear a humming sound behind him. He felt a little dizzy because he had drank a little. He felt his stomach emptying out. He looked down through his window and saw he was , or the floor was, beneath him, about twenty feet away. He was being elevated really fast. Next he looked up, what he saw made him smile. Actually his smile was so big and happy it illuminated the whole car. He looked up as if not believing what he had seen. Suddenly a very white pale hand, with a golden tube reached down and sprayed a purplish liquid onto Tim’s head. He started seeing double and then passed out.
The Niob 316 was equipped with a very powerful magnetic field. They used this to grab the car. The three friends were in their way back, and Aleinad was driving. When they reached the command center Captain Solrac was waiting for them.
“Do you have him, the scientist, do you?” said Captain Solrac.

The three friends answered in a choir, “Yes sir.”
“You may leave, see you tomorrow,” said the Captain, “On time!” he added in an ironic voice, glancing at Anairam.
The next morning Anairam woke up early and eagerly. She took a warm bath and had a proper breakfast. When she reached the command center, she went directly to Capitan Solrac´s office. She knocked on his door, and when the response came she went inside. The captain was in his desk looking frustrated.
“Is everything all right sir? You look…frustrated,” asked Anairam in a concerned voice.
Cpt.Solrac straightened himself out and answered, “Oh, I’m all right. It’s our prisoner who isn’t,” Anairam made a face of horror. She had never seen an alien(human), and now here was her only chance getting ruined, “But don’t worry,” he added noticing Anairam’s look, “The alien himself is all right, its just that we can’t communicate.”
Anairam asked modestly, “Sir, I know a little Earth dialect, so I could maybe help, if you need any help at all.”
“Well we could see if it worked, please come with me,” said Cpt.Solrac, motioning to follow him. They walked a long way and went down several floors, then finally they reached the prisons door. There two guards standing in front of the heavy metal doors. They checked Anairam´s and the captain’s badges, and then opened the door, with great effort. Inside the prison there were a thousand little doors all around the walls. They went to section five, and hopped onto the elevator. The captain pressed button nine. When they got down they were in front of a metal door. Cpt.Solrac opened the door and said, “You want to get him to talk to you. Go in and come out in thirty minutes. Then go to your office. I will look for you later.”
Anairam felt shivers run up and down her spine. She passed through the door and then saw him. The alien was tall, his skin was a little darker than the Neptunian woman’s, he had very round and brown eyes. He had black hair. Tim Jones was looking at the woman with amazement. He had seen Neptunians, but only men, when they were taking him to his cell.
“Hi,” he said, moving his hand back and forth.
“Hello,” Anairam answered, while sitting down on a wooden chair.(The cell was small, but comfortable. Tim had gotten a good cell, for he had not committed a crime). She was very impressed with the whole situation.
Anairam and Tim talked for twenty five minutes. They talked slowly because Anairam didn’t speak Earth’s dialect well. They were talking about the different cultures, when Amairam sadly said, “Me have good time, Bye.” She stood up and went out through the metal door.
Anairam had seen a sparkle, she knew she had. But she didn’t want to admit it. The Neptunian woman was in love.
