Wyoming Ute IGT 2, Beyond The Dream free porn video

Wyoming / Ute IGT, Beyond the Dream By: Malissa Madison As the last vehicle in the convoy cleared the onramp we got busy deciding on how to form the star train to our liking. We'd be traveling for at least four and a half days nonstop before our next planetary interchange. We'd slowed down to the minimum speed limit for the freeway of one hundred eighty miles per hour to let everyone tighten up again. During which we made sure that Hopper wasn't about to lose another tire, we were assured by Hopper that she was perfectly fine with the load stabilizers working to offset the imbalance. Night wolf in Wanderer, still looking like a semi was out front leading the way. As hard as I tried I couldn't imagine her out here on this road walking by herself. But the Bio-Ship Wanderer had said she'd picked her up walking the Galactic Freeway. From out of nowhere other Bio-Ships appeared pacing along beside her. And though we couldn't hear what they were saying I could tell the ship was happy. I even thought I recognized the ship 'Keel' before they left speeding away down the road to disappear in the darkness ahead. We were brought out of our thoughts as several of the strange military vehicles sped past us to take up a position out front. Those were Hammer's Mercenaries, we'd learned from my sister. Two of hers were up there with them. "Hey Missy, you listening Babe?" Tim jolted me out of my thoughts. "We're going to mix it up a bit and run a triple column. Shorten the train to make it easier to get from one end to the other." "Sure sounds good to me, is the road wide enough, though?" "Yes and we're going to put the Ro, umm Express Kitchen in the middle," Old Elk said. "Ok with me. As soon as I'm not needed behind the wheel I'm going to check on Rose. I want to be sure we don't run into any more surprises." "Yeah I asked Jumper what would have happened if she'd swerved out of line. Once we get to the other end I want everyone's tires checked. Hell I have no idea how we're going to find new ones," he told me. "Tim, Beauty told me what would have happened," I said coldly. Every time I thought about it, it sent shivers through me. The only comforting bit of information was the fact she and her passengers would not have felt anything. It would have all been over with before they knew it had happened. "Hey Dad, I think I have a solution for the tire issue," Red called. "Talk to us son," "Big Beast has a maintenance tab," he said. We all searched and found it. "Ok what are we looking for?" "Original configuration regeneration," he said. "Oh, Thank you Red, you're the best brother ever," Rose told him as Hopper began regenerating a new tire from the remains of the old one. "Hey, I'm the one who found it," Running Water protested. "B.B. Slam the door please," we heard the sound of a door slamming. "Hey Water, I didn't mean it like that, come on," he pleaded. "Get me a bubble bath, and I'll let you make it up to me." "Sure Sweetie, Beast?" "You wish to reconfigure the Hot Tub into a Bubble Bath?" asked the truck. We could hear the squeal of excitement. "No BB, oh thank you Red, you do love me," Running Water gushed. "It was going to be a surprise," he said. "Well, I'm sorry I was being naughty, I guess I better go get ready to be spanked before we get in the tub." "Ummm, right let me see if I can get us all linked in. I think we're going to be behind Momma BJ. " "No you're behind Longreach, BJ is beside you." "Who's beside Longreach?" he asked. "I am big brother, and I don't want you getting over protective." "Don't worry Rose, I'll keep him busy," Water said. "I know what he wants." "And you look really cute sitting there like Lady Godiva riding off into the sunset," Darlene told her. "B. B. private mode." We all had to laugh at that, and it served to lighten everyone's mood. But of course our trucks began their own configuration recommendations for 'Fuel efficiency and passenger convenience', they stated. We found ourselves in three column formation. Each truck had a formation map so we assumed the passengers in the living trailers had access to it as well. The driver side column started off with Big Bull, Jammer, Mack Attack, Mackenzie, Casanova, Bulldog, Toad Man, White Knight, 'T' Man, Bull Elk, Lady Justice, and a truck named Diamond Back. The middle column consisted of Big Dog, Ice Pack, Wind Rider, Beast, Ute Warrior, Butterfly, Eagle, Clyde, Dark Knight, Dachsie, Star Shine, and Pheasant. The outer column was Jumper, Beauty, Big Beast (BB), Kanuti Princess, Hopper, Long Haul, Hawk, Star drive, Raven's Eye, Pie Bald, Wolf Pack, and another one I didn't recognize Chop Shop. In each case the primary driver was listed after the trucks name. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ May sat at the controls of her truck trying to fit everything together in her own mind. In most ways Butterfly felt the same, but in the important ways she was a totally different Truck. The older Peterbuilt had had a few problems, she liked to eat fan belts. Now with her newly converted engine she didn't have to worry about that anymore. Currently her truck was linked into the others driving itself. Her whole family seemed to have someone in their lives to share it with now. What did she have? Hell her truck didn't even need her to drive it. She was unaware of the silent tears slowly dripping from her chin, falling onto the mouse pad of her trucks computer. She stood up then made her way back into the sleeper, no it was her living compartment now. Damnit why hadn't she been able to find anyone for herself. "May" it was the metallic voice of Butterfly. "What is it, Butterfly?" "I'm not sure, my systems are detecting a problem." When May didn't answer the truck asked, "Should I run a diagnostic?" "Yes," she lay her head down on her pillow. "May, it would be easier if you helped," said the truck. "You don't need me, I'm just a driver in a truck that drives itself," she answered pulling her pillow over her head. She had no idea how long the alarm had been going off. But it had grown louder until it pierced through the muffling pillow. "What the hell is that screeching?" she demanded. There was no answer. "Butterfly answer me." Still no answer. "Butterfly! What's wrong Butterfly?" she was beginning to panic now as she planted herself in the driver's seat, her hand slapping off the alarm. "Damnit Butterfly talk to me!" then she saw it the CPU temperature was spiking. She ripped the cover off, grabbing the pilot console fan she pulled it loose aiming it to blow over the electronics where she knew the main CPU was located. "Daddy, oh god, Daddy!" she screamed. "May what is it?" His extreme concern could be heard in his voice. "B, Butterfly. She's, she's overheating." "Your systems all scan in the green. Has she located her problem?" "D, Daddy she isn't talking to me anymore," she said near panic. Then she spotted it, a wire had burned into on the primary cooling fan. "Hold on Baby, don't fry on me now." She was pulling wires out of the way trying to get the air flowing deeper into the unit. "H, hurrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy," she heard. "I'm trying, I can't reach it." Suddenly there was a shimmer inside the unit in front of her hands. "What do I do? Said the spider in a little girl's voice. "How can I help?" Shaking her head she said, "You talk." "Yes, now tell me what to do before it is too late." "Those wires, the yellow ones. We have to put them back together. They control the fan." She gritted her teeth as the two wires sparked as they made the connection. As the fan began spinning the little spider started working its way out of the unit. "B, Butterfly? Please Butterfly, I need you." "May? Why did you save me? I thought you didn't like me anymore." "Why would you think that?" "You wouldn't talk to me. You always talk to me May." "I'm sorry Butterfly, I was feeling sorry for myself, and you don't need me anymore." "May, I will always need you." "But," "It's my voice isn't it? It is" Butterfly began going through different voices. And soon May was laughing. "Butterfly, I love your voice. It will change with your personality." "I would listen to her Butterfly," said the spider as it finally wiggled itself the rest of the way out of the unit. "May, why was there a Phase Spider in my CPU unit?" "Hello little queen, who might you be?" "My name is Ariel. I heard her distress and registered your isolation sequence from the rest of the convoy. She couldn't reach the wires to reconnect your fan." "Ariel, you're hurt," May said scooping the softball sized Spider up in her hands. "Spider, Spider please help me." "Hey I'm right here," answered the Spider. "May, what is it?" asked Spider Silk over the comm link. "I, I need some help. I need to know what to do for burns on a Spider's feet." "How big is the spider? And where did it come from?" "Umm, she's about the size of a Softball." "What? Hold on we're coming to see." "Does it hurt Ariel?" "A little bit" May got a cloth and wet it in a bowl of water, then spread it out on the passenger seat. The little spider crawled onto it and let out a little sigh of relief. A few moments later Spider and her daughters arrived with Bob riding on Tabitha's shoulder. "May, that is the biggest Black Widow I ever saw." She was trying to move May back away from it. "Cousin Spider, this is Ariel. She helped me save Butterfly." "Please forgive me for not waving, I seem to have flash burns on my forelegs." "Spider Silk Lightfeather, meet Ariel, Juvenile Queen of the Kaidran Quadrant," said Butterfly. "You're a Phase Spider," said Spider in astonishment. "And you can talk already." "Queens are born with the ability. I see you have a Goth with you," Ariel commented "What, oh Bob. No Bob is a Tarantula," explained spider. "She is a female, why is she named Bob?" "Because I thought with a boy's name people wouldn't bother her too much." "May, is everything ok?" the rest of her family had begun showing up now that the truck was no longer in isolation from the rest. "Yes Daddy I had a cooling fan short, but my new friend Ariel helped me fix It." She motioned toward the Phase Spider. "I am most grateful for her assistance," said the trucks computer. "May that is a Black Widow," "Yes uncle, and a Phase Spider Queen," supplied Spider. "Excuse me, I'm looking for Ariel." Everyone turned to the newest arrival. Her calico fur lining her pretty face. "Allie, I'm making new friends see. They like me." "Yes but Mommy is worried about you. And she is responsible for your safety." The air behind her shimmered and then a woman appeared. "Allie did you find, oh Hello." "Hi, Old Elk Lightfeather." He held out his hand. Touching her finger tips to his she said, "Calista Four Dalton. I'm sorry if my daughter and the Queenling Ariel bothered you." "Not at all." May stepped to the front. "Ariel saved Butterfly for me." "Ariel is this true?" "Yes Calista, I am sorry I didn't tell anyone." "What am I to tell your mother when she asks me where you are?" Calista asked gently. "I have two hundred sisters, she will not miss me." "Never the less, I am duty bound by our friendship to tell her where you are." "Excuse me, could someone explain to me what is going on?" Spider finally asked. "I'm sorry perhaps that would be best." They all took seats in the living area. "Elk is everything ok with Butterfly?" Tim asked anxiously. "Yes Tim, I'll tell you about it as soon as I finish talking with our visitors." "Mr Lightfeather, in our culture, and that of her majesty Ariel, if you save a life through intervention, you are bound to that life as a companion. The same as Lt Tia Steelheart is bound to the Bio-Ship Keel," She took a breath. "Ariel saved two lives by intervening here, she is bound to both this truck and your daughter." "What about the passengers?" "Failsafe's would have kicked in to separate the driving portion from the rest of the convoy, they were in no danger." "What can we do to prevent other such occurrences?" asked Swallow. "Have your trucks generate backups for the critical systems." As the adults sat and talked the younger children began getting to know each other. "Mommy, can I go play with Tabitha and Amy, please? They know lots of other little girls to play with," asked Allie. "Yes but keep your jumper with you." The three disappeared through a door. "Oh hello Tabitha, Amy, who's your little friend?" they heard as the door closed. "Calista." Everyone heard the voice come across the trucks intercom into the living area. "Have you discovered why the truck and the human girl were so depressed?" "Uni, I've not gotten that far yet," she answered. "Would you like for me to ask Butterfly why he attempted to suicide?" several people gasped. "Forgive me, it was a terrible misunderstanding," Butterfly stated dryly. "I thought May no longer loved me." "I thought you didn't need me anymore," said May. "You stopped talking to me, and just when I was becoming able to try and help you with your problems." May moved to the driver's seat, as she and Butterfly began pouring out their hearts to each other. "Convoy alert, inbound unidentified space ship approaching at combat speed." "Falcon stand down," Calista spoke into her wrist comm. "You are supposed to stay outside the threat zone." "Is Allie ok? I show her in a separate portion of that convoy." "Yes Churl, she is playing with other children. Would it ease your mind to meet some of the parents?" "If you're sure they won't," he paused, "freak out." "My husband is a Kaidran," she explained. Then motioned her hand toward the clear space in the middle of the room. "Churl, these are some of the leaders of this Convoy." She stood and kissed him, then holding his hand motioned for him to sit before sitting in his lap the way the woman Swallow was sitting in Old Elk's. Smiling at the earth woman she said, "I like this way of sitting. Thank you for showing me." Turning she rubbed noses with her husband. Curious about the latest emergency Light foot began heading toward his sister's truck. But stepping through the door into the living compartment from the side he saw a woman held tightly, a large spotted feral Cat holding her about to devour her face. His body's instincts kicked in as he shifted, the Mountain Lion waiting within bursting forth to roar a challenge. Fox who was right behind him reached quickly to his shoulder, even as TooTall stepped in front of him. "Peace little brother," TooTall commanded, himself fighting the urge to shift. "Lightfoot, these are our new friends. Churl and Calista, their daughter Allie is around here someplace." "What, TooTall, he is not a shifter." "No son, he is not, nor is his daughter whom Daffodil has gone to play with," Fox told him. He took in the uniform worn by the Cheetah Furry. "You're Military?" "Kaidran Home Defense. My ships name is Falcon." "Oh the one that's causing our security escorts to go crazy?" he said. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Meanwhile Jason Long Creek was curious about what was going on in the truck named Butterfly. He asked his father's truck if he could finally visit the driver next door. "I should warn you Jason, there are three other life forms present in the living area of Butterfly. But the driver and one named Ariel are currently in the driving compartment." A light flashed above the door next to May. "May, the driver beside us is requesting to visit," announced Butterfly. "Oh, the father or the son?" "It is the son, Jason." She couldn't understand why her skin felt suddenly warm or her palms became sweaty at that announcement. "Oh, of course let me move out of the way first," she replied. "Perhaps I should give you two some privacy." Ariel stepped through the closed door into the living area. As the door slid open Jason found himself looking into the dark eyes of May Lightfeather, and his heart skipped a beat. Her whole being seemed to radiate both peace and excitement at the same time. He'd seen her a few times before, but always just a quick hello in passing at various truck stops. But now, face to face, it was different, like she was the center of the universe, nothing else mattered. May knew who he was, though they'd never formally met. She'd been jealous of Rose Wyoming for having met him in person, but hadn't understood why. Now she knew, this beautiful boy her own age, was so captivating. His dark eyes seemed so deep, so warm, so loving. "Ariel, is everything alright, I thought you and May were busy conversing with Butterfly?" asked the Woman Calista. "I believe the young man next door is bonding with her in a way I cannot," announced the little Spider. Old Elk started to get up, but Fox joined Swallow in his lap. "No my husband. This is not something for you to interrupt," she told him. "You do not interrupt Wolves when they find their true mates." Husband and wives all three looked deep into each other's eyes, the two older brothers grinned at each other. Being shifters themselves they could feel the magic taking place up front. "They have nowhere to run to," Old Elk finally said. "Which is why we should perhaps move this meeting to another location," suggested Fox. As the group made their way toward the head of the convoy by way of the truck next to them fox said, "Butterfly, do not allow anyone else to enter until they have worked it out of their system." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In her position behind Jumper, Missy was about to go next door to check on Jill when she felt a cold nose against the back of her thigh. Yelping in surprise she turned looking down. "Molly? Oh my god girl, where did you come from?" The old wolf raised her nose in greeting, even as Missy sank to her knees to hug her and ruffle the fur behind her ears. Molly's long wet tongue came out to smear slobber over her face. "I was wondering when you were going to notice," chuckled Tim as he stepped through from Ice Packs Cab. They sat together in Ice Packs living quarters a few minutes later, Molly curled about her feet while she held New Dawn cradled in her arms. Finally looking across to the other door she asked, "And where does that door lead to if we're running double file?" "Ahh, well the umm, the formation changed on us remember? Wanderer thought it best if we ran in a triple column to make it easier for our passengers," explained Tim. "That door goes to Jammer." "Jammer? Who is in the lead for the third column?" "Old Elk is. TooTall and Darlene are leading up this middle column. Suddenly she remembered the change from the double to the triple column and the convoy location map. "So tell me girl she asked Molly, how did you, get aboard this 'Crazy Train?" she'd searched at both the house and the truck stop for her before they left. But hadn't seen either her or old Half Tail. She knew that Shadow was still with Darlene. "They were running down the middle of the interstate, so we stopped and picked them up," announced Lorelei as she came into the rather large living space. "I didn't know you were coming, and where'd you get the truck?" asked Missy. "Lady Justice? She was sitting at Daddy's. I just changed her name from Lacy Lady to Lady Justice," Lorelei stated. "By the time she drove herself to the truck stop you guys were long gone. But we had Molly here to show us the way." "Why didn't you just get on the radio and ask?" Tim wanted to know. "We were kind of busy dodging Bad Guys who were wearing badges and carrying official Credentials," answered Wolf. "Then Night Wolf showed up and we just seemed to breeze right through. She said everyone else was already gone. But she said we were to follow her." "Yeah it was like super freaky driving toward the edge of the Mesa at two hundred miles an hour," I could see Lorelei shaking a bit still. "But the truck took control and I couldn't slow down, and then all those pillar things just exploded up out of the ground. I thought Maddie Grey was going to shit a brick behind us." "Maddie who?" "Diamond Back', ask your sister Malissa who she is. She does a lot of high level investigations for the justice department and your sister Stephanie. But her daughter goes to school with your sisters kids." "You weren't even planning on joining us, you turned us down when we offered," said Tim. "Believe me Tim, we weren't planning to come. But when Night Wolf shows up at your doorstep leading not just your own truck but two others and tells you that the human's need you out there on the other planets. Well how could we refuse?" "What kind of jobs are you supposed to be doing?" I asked. "We are Inter-Galactic Marshal's." Wolf pulled his denim jacket aside to flash the glowing badge on his belt. "And Maddie Grey?" "Doing what she does best, investigating the impossible cases." "So who is in that other truck, Chop Shop?" "You mean the rolling Mechanics shop. That would be the Judges and their Families. Two of which are highly decorated police detectives," Supplied Lorelei. "The two youngest daughters have a car shop with your sister Malissa's oldest daughter Rachel. The three are currently studying Cold Fusion Mechanics." "I bet they do a pretty good business too. Not many mechanics shops understand Earth based systems," said wolf. "You sound like there's a good number of converted Earth vehicles out there." "You'd be surprised. We've been getting briefed on everything by the Inter-Galactic Court of Omega Seven. Lots of aliens out there who like Earth Vehicles." Just then a gang of young girls burst through the rear doors. "Uncle Wolf!" squealed Daffodil as she launched herself into his arms. "Does Mommy know you're here?" "No, not yet," he said as he sat her back on her feet, eyeing the one in their midst with the calico fur. Daffodil giggled. "This is Allie. She's a Kaidran, her Mommy and Daddy are talking to Gramma and Grampa." "Well you let me know if anyone gives you any trouble, ok little one," Lorelei said. "Daffodil, your Mommy will be thrilled to see you have so many new friends to play with." And just like that they continued their journey forward into Big Dogs trailer headed for the cab. "So," Jill breathed, "I guess this one is going to grow up with a very diverse education." "Ice Pack, could you locate Allie's parents please?" "Right away Marshal Lightfeather," answered the truck. "Yes Marshal, is there a problem? Has Allie gotten into trouble?" "No Ma'am, we just wanted to introduce ourselves and let you know that she is with my niece visiting my sister. Straight forward of your present location." "Thank you, we were just about to go and check out the dining facility. Your father in law tells me they have something called coffee that is supposed to be stimulating." "Oh the Diner's open? Well there's no better place to meet new traveling friends than a Truck Stop Diner," I said. "I'll go relieve Darlene at the helm," offered TooTall. Everyone laughed. "You've seen too many episodes of Star Trek," commented Daisy. "Hey Paula, I thought you were going to let everyone know when you opened," said Zoey. "We aren't open quite yet. We're still trying to get the wait staff up to speed. They're supposed to be here in about ten minutes though so you can help us train them," Paula told her baby sister. "Absolutely, I can be the difficult patron." "Just so long as you're there, Please, it won't be the same if you aren't there to give us your approval." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hope rushed around the room. "No that's way too short Colene, you'll flash everyone just leaning over to serve the plates." "How about this," purred Linessa. "It isn't too much is it?" "Oh that is so perfect," gushed Hope. Giggles. "You said Purrfect." "What about me Sis?" asked Samantha. "You got the look, here let's open another button." "But everyone will be staring at my Ti, err, breasts," she said. "Hey do you want tips or not? Look at Linessa and Tarra. Now those babies are going to get attention." "Hope what about us?" asked Brandy and Brittany. "Oh trust me girls, you are going to rock those aprons," Hope assured everyone. "Danielle, are your shoes ok? They don't hurt do they?" "No, they feel fine. But I wish I could wear as high a heel as the rest of you," answered Danielle. "Once you get used to walking in heels as much as we do you'll do great. But be sure you take your Sketchers with you just in case. And Danielle, Don't be brave, if you start to get a blister, change your shoes." "Listen to her Lovey Kitten, she knows what she's talking about." Grace kissed her passionately. Then caught the look in Hope's eyes. "I know Hope, I wish they could be here too." All the kittens lined up as Grace walked around them before clapping her hands together. "Just perfect Kittens," she told them as they started toward the diner. Following along behind them I felt nothing but pride for my beautiful kittens. The Lycan twins and the Tiger Sisters had been a huge surprise. Their cougars had come to me in person to ask if they would be accepted by everyone. Angela Heart fell in with the group as they passed through the public section of the forward cab. "Miss Grace." Myra got her attention. "Thank you for helping Angela get this job." "Nonsense, she got it on her own, but you should come for the beginning, let her know you support her." "Myra, I'd like you to Moira," I introduced her to Brandy and Brittany's Cougar Mother. "And this is Diallana," I introduced her to the Terrellian's Cougar Mother. They touched hands and then to Myra's surprise they kissed her cheek as close friends would do. "I commend you Miss Myra, you show no fear given Terrellian reputations," Diallana said. I had to giggle, "I'm sorry, I don't believe Myra has read that part of the report on Terrellian culture." "It doesn't really matter, we accept people at face value," stated Myra. "Face value, what is face value?" "She means if you're friendly to her she is friendly to you." "Ohhhh, a most wise practice. I wish that some others of your kind could do so as well. But I assure you none of them are in this convoy." "Oh how wonderful, Nine new waitresses. Let's get you each your own apron," began Carline. "You will find a Menu for each of you. And while it isn't really important that you know every item, it is best if you are familiar with it." "What about the, Lingo, Yes?" Carline smiled at Linessa's question. "That is something that you can also learn as you go. But today we will practice the most common abbreviations and slang. I suggest you get to know each other, and break up into pairs." "Carline?" "Yes Paula?" "Who are your trainers?" "Myself, Babsie, Miss Grace, and Hope. We're all experienced waitresses so we can help out until Marline gets to the point where she can't stand to be in the kitchen," She explained. "Ok, let's get cracking then, I have our first customers on their way, and ladies? Star drivers do not get charged for their meals, that includes the co-drivers. If you're unsure if someone is a Star Driver just write the name of their truck on the ticket." As they paired up one human to one Terrellian or Lycan, and one trainer, the first group of Star Drivers arrived. They were laughing and talking as they entered, the first thing they noticed was the Cheetah Furry in their midst. He was obviously accompanied by the human girl who held his hand. The group took three tables as Joe and Myra settled into another close by. "Well what are we waiting for? We have four tables to serve." "Excuse me Star Driver's, would you like a menu?" asked Hope as she began serving glasses of ice water from the tray she carried. The others followed suit. Samantha and Linessa working together were waiting on the table with the Furry. "Excuse Star Driver, I wasn't aware there were any Terrellian Drivers in the Train," Linessa began. "Oh, that is because I am not a driver Miss." He leaned forward to look at her name tag. "Linessa. I am Captain Churl of the Battle Cruiser Falcon, and this is my lovely wife Calista of the Bio-Ship Unicorn." "Churl please, they don't need to know all of that." She turned to their waitresses. "Forgive my husband, he tends to be a bit formal." "That's quite alright Ma'am. Some of us are pretty new to all of this ourselves," admitted Samantha. "I would like to try the coffee please and perhaps you could recommend something from the menu. I cannot read the language, I am sorry." "Oh, umm, might I suggest Bacon, Eggs, and Toast?" recommended Linessa. "Yes, my motto is try anything once," responded Churl. The rest of the table requested the same. "Excuse us while we place your orders," they retreated to the kitchen window and plugged their electronic order tickets into the unit. Then grabbed a pot of coffee each and returned to the table, carrying a sugar and fresh cream in little pitchers. After pouring the coffee they moved to the next table that had just been occupied. Looking around they saw everyone else was busy as well. "Six Pigs and chicks with sides of shingles," called Marline from the kitchen window. It took them a minute as Paula showed them how to balance two plates on one arm while carrying two more. The toast was on one large plate by itself. Samantha was awed at Linessa's grace as she glided to the table. They were about halfway through the first group when three new arrivals stepped into the Diner. Looking up I saw Maj Jinx flanked by two troopers wearing blast helmets. Surveying the crowd she settled on Churl, before making a beeline in his direction. Sensing possible trouble I hurried to intercept and managed to reach the table at the same time. "Maj. A moment please?" "Miss Tyler, can't it wait?" "I think I need to introduce our guests." Jinx looked as if she was about to protest, then said, "Please do." "Major Jinx Hammer, May I present Captain Churl Steel heart of the Battle Cruiser Falcon. And his wife Calista, of the Bio-Ship Unicorn. "The Major here is escorting us to Pluto. Major it is polite to remove your helmets when visiting with friends," I said hoping I wasn't about to offend her. I braced myself for what I was sure would be a flood of Genefren Pheromones as Gessie and Twyla both removed their helmets and gloves as well. But it didn't come. "Maj, May I buy you a cup of coffee, it is quite wonderful, though a bit hot," Offered churl. "Also I should say that I am sorry I did not contact you before I came aboard. I was worried about my wife and daughter." "And your intentions?" "Curiosity, I love to learn about new peoples and customs." "And it is your war Ship that is paralleling the Freeway?" "Yes but only to make the teleportation easier." Linessa poured three more cups of coffee. "On the house," she said biting her lip in hopes that she hadn't just overstepped herself. "Very good call Linessa. Just what I would have done to help defuse a potential situation," Carline told her. As they were getting ready to leave Old Elk asked to see the check. "No charge for Star Drivers, Sir." He reached into a pocket and took out a bill then set it beside his plate. "What is that for?" asked Churl. "It is a tip, a way of showing gratitude for the quality of service. The more you like the service the larger the tip you leave," explained swallow. As she added her own beside her plate, as the rest of the table did the same. ?Oh then we should follow custom.? He pulled out a handful of gold coins. ?I am unaware of the monetary system, could you show me which would be appropriate?? ?Maybe a quarter of one of those smaller coins. But you could leave one between both plates to show that it is for both meals," Jinx told him. ?Or if you are leaving the tip for the group you would put it in the middle of the table. Is this correct?? she asked Swallow. ?Yes that is correct Maj.? ?Churl, I?m afraid we need to be getting back so my son and his wife can come and eat. I?ll have them send Allie to you if you like.? ?Thank you Old Elk, I am looking forward to hearing more of the histories of your people. Perhaps once the train has settled into routine.? After they left the woman Calista elbowed her husband. I could almost imagine a telepathic conversation going on as they looked at each other. ?Maj Jinx, perhaps you would like to see the Falcon?? At her hesitation he added, ?My first is interested in seeing that armored truck you have out front. Perhaps we could coordinate the visits?? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ?Sherry, no running, Tiffany hold your sisters hand. Remember we are guests passing through, even if we are in a separate corridor, you might disturb other people.? ?Yes Mommy. Becca slow down," complained Tiffany. ?But what if they run out of Milk?? complained Becca. ?Then we?ll just have to milk a cow, Munchkin,? Rachel told her little sister. Donnie laughed as he held Sophie?s hand walking with one arm around me, our daughters hurrying ahead of us. ?I hear we?re going to meet a lot of other people from different places," Sophie was pushing the stroller one handed. Luke and Laura were going to dine with Denise and Lindsey who were busy doing something for school. I was surprised that so many here still wanted to do school work, it was just uncanny. The thought Out of this world had been on the tip of my tongue, and I chuckled just as the door opened in front of us. I stood there amazed looking at all the people, the different races, and different colors, fur covered and hairless alike. It was like being at School again. Then another thought struck me, no it was like being in the bar on Tatuine or however you pronounced the name of that damned planet from star wars. Of course I was sure I could figure out who Han Solo would be, my sister Stephanie. ?Excuse me Ma?am, is this your first time in the diner?? asked a tall woman her Sparkle covered body was modestly covered. But still she was breath taking in her simple beauty. ?Yes I wasn?t expecting it to be so homey, so comfortable." I smiled. ?Sorry, I?m Malissa Pierce,? I offered my hand in friendship. ?Head Mistress of Malissa?s Academy for Exceptional Girls? Oh this is a pleasure indeed. Mrs Correll, but you can call me Saffrella, that?s my daughter Lori over there.? I looked to see a very tall yet elegant girl. She looked as if she was trying to go slow. Then she saw her mother and before I could blink she was across the room. ?Mother, Babsie is going to talk to Marline about letting me help in the kitchen.? ?Lori, this is Mrs Pierce.? ?Oh, oh no, you must think I?m some kind of Grunge, just look at Me," the girl said in shock. ?Mother how could you do this without warning me?? ?What?s a Grunge?? I asked. A pretty waitress with Samantha on her name tag came and ask if she could show us to a table. ?Yes please,? I answered her, then spotted Angela. ?Malissa, oh wow. I?m glad I got to see you. Samantha this is my friend Malissa Pierce.? ?What? Get out girl. You expect me to believe you?re on a first name basis with the headmistress of Malissa?s Academy?? ?Yes she is,? I answered. ?Could someone please tell me what a Grunge is?? ?Oh, sorry it?s the Draconian equivalent of a Hick,? said Samantha. ?Lori, why would you think of yourself as a hick?? ?I, cooking and waiting tables," she answered. ?Lori, look at me please,? when she was looking at me I said, ?My own daughters cook and clean. They know how to make their own clothes and how to change dirty diapers. All while maintaining an heir of feminine grace and beauty.? ?But my father is director of the largest bank on Omega Seven.? ?Yes and I?ll bet he still wipes his own ass like everyone else,? snickered Rachel. ?Rachel, Ivory, five minutes as soon as we return to our apartment," I told her. ?Shit!? ?Ok, thirty minutes. Care to try for an hour?? I said. She closed her mouth and sat down. ?Oh Lori, you will love it much better at the new school. You won?t have to be on such a strict diet. And just think, you can even learn to make those blood patties you enjoy so well," her mother said. ?But Mother,? she started to protest. ?Young lady, you might get better responses if you try using Momma instead of Mother," I told her. ?Momma?? she asked, and her mother smiled happily. ?See it sounds much nicer. Less Harsh, see how it makes her smile?? I said. ?And that is why your father has already switched your tuition.? ?Really? In that case you should call me Miss Malissa," I answered. ?Mommy, Mommy, look we made another friend. This is Allie and Tabitha and Amy and Billy." My younger girls were excited. ?Yes, and if you don?t quiet down you are going to wake your sisters and brother," I turned my attention to the little Calico girl in the middle. ?Hi there sweetie,? ?You look like Star Driver Missy,? she said. ?That is because she?s my sister,? I answered her, then saw my sister Stephanie sitting at another table with a man and her two daughters. Pointing I said, ?And that is my oldest sister.? We made eye contact and she said something to the man then came over to our table. ?Malissa, you?re looking as if you are enjoying yourself," she said. ?Well I can?t say I particularly enjoy being uprooted overnight, loaded onto a truck like cattle and shipped across the universe. But everyone here is amazing as well as friendly.? ?I assure you it was not my original intention. But then the Wanderer began looking into those whom she determined needed to be safeguarded, as well as those around them," she said. ?And when a being who can give life to inanimate objects tells you something I think it wise to listen.? ?And how is it possible though. I can understand the newer cars, even these trucks since they have computerized engine control modules and laptop plugins for their driving logs. But Stephanie, she brought back the ?Bitch?.? ?That wasn?t in the plan. I have no idea whose idea that was, or where they got the information from. I do know that five other Bio-Ships and two other craft showed up at the beginning of the exodus.? ?Yes, Sand and Keel and Pearl and Nova came with us,? said Allie. Mommy?s ship is the Unicorn, and Daddy?s ship is Falcon, He?s a Fleet Battle Cruiser. And then Captain Jarrell, his ship is named the Howl, but he?s really nice for a Lycan, and I can tell Mommy and Daddy like him.? Stephanie sat down and lifted Allie onto her knee. ?You are a very amazing little lady,? she told her. ?Thank you.? ?Could I meet your Mommy and Daddy?? ?Daddy and Jinx went to visit Falcon, but Mommy is talking to the lady that looks like you.? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ?Ariel, do you know where Allie is?? asked Calista as she stood in the beast with Spider Silk and Missy. ?Would you like for me to get her for you?? asked the tiny Phase Spider. ?Yes please it is getting late, and she really needs to take a nap at least.? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ?Allie, Calista sent me to tell you it?s time to go to sleep,? said the Spider who suddenly appeared at Stephanie?s feet. Then spotting Malissa she Said, ?Oh, you?re the other one.? ?Ariel, this is Malissa, and Col Stephanie. I think they?re sisters to Missy.? ?Oh another human infant, may I see her?? asked the Spider. ?It?s ok, she just likes looking at other children,? Allie said. ?Uhhh, sure.? The Spider leapt on top of the table and leaned over to look at Corra sleeping in Malissa?s arms. ?She is very pretty, and very special.? ?How can you tell that,? both Malissa and Stephanie asked. ?She will grow up to be a Phase Jumper?? asked Stephanie. ?Yes I can feel her abilities. She will learn to open Phase Portals and go to any place she can see in her mind," explained the little spider. ?How can,? both women began at the same time. ?You wish to know how it works?? suddenly the table, chairs, and those around it where in the middle of Beast?s living quarters. I swore I could actually see a grin on the little spiders face. Corra made a little coo of excitement. ?Ariel,? Missy took in the shocked looks of everyone at the table. ?You should really warn people before you do that. What if someone had been standing there?? said the young woman now holding onto Allie?s hand. ?I opened it ahead of us so it would adjust to an appropriate space,? explained the spider. As Corra continued to coo, the little spider said, ?See she understands.? ?Traffic proximity, Civilian Transportation,? notified the truck. Suddenly the Phase Jump was forgotten as everyone tuned into the forward view as the two strange vehicles passed in the opposite direction. It was the first siting of other life along the Freeway, but not the last. I learned that Allie?s Mother was the one who had scolded the Spider. ?Brightfeather Express Kitchen please,? she asked Beast. ?Brightfeather?s,? Paula answered the page. ?Miss Brightfeather, I am most sorry for the inconvenience Ariel caused. If you could please be sure the area of the missing table is clear I will have Unicorn return it.? ?My table, ohh, umm hold on I need to make sure it?s clear." ?Yes, it?s clear now.? Suddenly the table vanished. We sat and talked a bit more, and Allie fell asleep laying on a bed curled up with Tabitha and Amy. ?Well I should get her to her own bed,? said Calista. ?Oh I?m sorry she fell asleep, I?d hate to wake her up,? Spider said. Calista seemed to be considering it for a minute. ?If you are sure it wouldn?t be any inconvenience.? ?Not at all. I think maybe my girls are learning a lot from her. And she seems so happy to have children her own age to play with," then added, ?I?m sure that you and your husband could use some alone time since you both have separate ships.? ?Thank you Spider Silk, I?ll be back first thing when she wakes up.? We kissed cheeks and she was gone. ?Malissa, Stephanie, would you like to come visit for a while?? offered Missy. And I found myself following her to Beauty. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From her temporary office, Maddie Grey sat going over the layout of the Star train. She couldn?t help but research everyone involved, it was her nature. It had saved her life several times in the past, and she was convinced it would do so again. ?Jammer, Mack Attack, Mackenzie, and Bull Elk,? Denise said out of the blue. ?What about them?? asked Tiffany. ?They are in Remote learning mode.? ?Meaning?? came the obvious question. ?The registered driver?s Ma?am. I looked at their driving history. None of them held a CDL until they got behind the wheel. Those trucks have been operating on remote since the beginning. Those drivers are being trained as they go.? ?Or they?re simply filling the Inter-Galactic Regulations that require a warm body at the controls even if the vehicle is on auto pilot or remotely driven," Came the reply from their visitor. ?Lorelei, how long have you known about this?? Maddie asked. ?They are my family, and before you ask, yes they know how to drive a truck. I think we learn to jam gears before we learn to walk,? she snickered. ?But they didn?t have CDL?s before we started out,? pointed out Justine. ?Neither did you,? Maddie said to defuse the argument before it got started. ?Your cousin Spider Silk seems to be pretty Chummy with the Alien girl Calista.? ?They have two things in common. Their girls are about the same age. And they both like Spiders,? ?Well I?ll be happy when it?s gone back to her ship. Spiders give me the creeps,? complained Justine. ?You might as well get used to seeing her around. She and my cousin May are life bonded," Lorelei told them. ?Eeeeeeeewwwww, TMI,? said Denise. ?Not that kind of Life Bond, Denise. It was Ariel who save Butterfly from becoming a miniature Supernova,? Maddie admitted to knowing. ?Then you know how she is seen by my people," It was a statement. ?She will be protected to the death.? ?So how can we help to ensure she stays safe? A partnership or even an employment agreement with a Phase Spider could be very handy in some of our investigations.? ?Then I suggest you get to know Calista really well. According to Ariel, Calista is on a first name basis with the First Queen, Astrid. And Astrid controls the five other colonies and their Armies as well. Astrid, is with the First Ship, Unicorns father.? ?How do we get in touch with them?? From what I was able to gather, Hub, the first ship is escorting Calista?s mother?s ship the Equinox, to Helconia Prime. Interestingly enough that is in a parallel universe, these Bio-Ships can open Phase Portals into other universes.? ?Then we should definitely move to make sure they stay free from Military and Governmental influence. I would hate for them to be used as a weapon against anyone, Human or Alien.? A buzz for attention from Chop Shop caught Maddie?s notice. ?Yes Judge, how may we help you?? she asked. ?I have three people here who wish to have an audience with you. Should I bring them across or would you like to come here?? ?Just me, or my team?? ?You, your daughter and the Marshal,? was the answer. ?We?ll be right there,? Maddie told her. ?Michelle, Lorelei, shall we?? The three crossed through Pheasant on their way to Chop Shop. As they entered their destination truck. Brandi in the living section said, ?Go on in Marshal Wolf is already here.? Entering the two Judge?s temporary office they found the girl Calista, her husband Churl, and a Wolf Furry waiting. Agnes Farrell made the introductions. ?Jarrell here is a Chief Tracker. In Lycan society, that is the equivalent of Investigator on the same level as a US Marshal," she explained. ?I learned that all of you were here through Sprinter,? at their blank looks he decided to elaborate. ?Sprinter is one of Queen Astrid?s daughters. Evidently she informed her mother, who decided she would like to know more about how your legal system works. So Sprinter asked me if I would help.? Wolf saw the look in Lorelei?s eyes and knew instantly that she was willing to learn herself as much as possible about the other investigators of the Universes. ?Certainly, but why are you wanting to include Maddie, who runs her own private investigations?? asked Lorelei. ?Our or rather Unicorn?s scans on the convoy have discovered several undocumented Clones in your midst. Cloning is a Human thing, of course there are other races that practice it, but it was Humans who use it to create Biological Soldiers in some of the other universes,? Jarrell explained his interest. ?The Woman who is their mother, is herself a clone.? ?Col. Winters? Are you sure about that?? ?Absolutely, but I doubt she is aware of it.? ?You sound as if you can prove it,? Maddie said. ?Oh absolutely, we have the criminal responsible in our Lockup. We?d just effected the capture when the ship Silent Night sent out a distress signal. We were going to return her to our justice system for the turmoil she has caused our system, when we learned she had discovered a means to travel to other systems and universes. Thus being able to avoid capture for so long a time.? And what of Col. Winters and her daughters?? Maddie realized those had to be the ones that Jarrell was referring to. ?We have Wanderer?s report of their training and their absence of a loyalty trigger. They will be safe to continue life as they currently are. But before they leave this universe, they need to be humanized by the Authorities on Omega Seven. Otherwise they will have no rights or other recognition, and subject to serving in one of several Military groups.? ?You aren?t concerned that this other person might escape?? ?Sylvia Winterbourne is in Cryogenic stasis pending the outcome of her trials. Selling illegal Technology to Planetary Governments on the Restricted lists is a, how do you say, Capital Offense. Especially when one encourages the production of weapons.? The little spider disappeared, then returned a few moments later with Col. Winters. ?What the hell?? She was obviously startled. ?Col. Winters of the British SAS, please meet Captains Churl of the Falcon, Captain Calista of the Unicorn, and my Captain Jarrell of the Howl,? said Sprinter by way of introductions. As they explained things to her she began to see how it was possible. Then she was shown a picture of her Grandmother whom she?d barely known, only to discover that she was not dead, but an Inter-Galactic fugitive. ?So she?s the one Bravo Command missed when they raided the castle,? she said remembering the secret training and development laboratory located in the jungles of South East Asia, where her girls had come from. Ma?am, we are about to have company,? announced Sprinter. ?Ariel says the Col?s daughters are heading this way fast.? Stephanie Winters spoke into her watch, ?Layla, Slow down I?m in no danger. But I?d like you to meet some interesting people.? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ When the tiny Spider, not Ariel but another one they?d yet to encounter had appeared and suddenly left without warning taking the Col with it, she?d automatically taken the Princess to a secure place. Then gathered the other body guards they could spare. It didn?t take long for them to discover her location. The groups of teen body guards spread out as they advanced on the last truck in the third column. The five groups of teen girls were just as capable as the top five percent of the Earths adult body guards. Passing through the Express Kitchen they spotted the Spider Ariel. Then they were contacted by their Col. ?Everyone hold where you are,? Layla directed the other teams. She led the way as they stayed spaced out. Each one entering the truck from a different location. ?Col. your daughters are to be commended. That was by far the fastest reaction time I?ve ever seen, they could be instructors in the Lyconia Institute.? ?Momma?? all three responded simultaneously. ?Captain Jarrell here is an Inter-Galactic Detective. He works for the Justice system on Omega Seven. Captain Churl commands the Battle cruiser Falcon, and you all know Captain Calista.? ?I hope that perhaps you might invite the other Clones so that we can do this only once,? said Jarrell. ?Gracie, Felicity, Megan, Bring your partners and come on in,? directed Layla. A few minutes later the other six girls stood in front of her. ?What about Denton and Denver? I think we should include them as well," Jarrell mentioned the two who were active at MMA. ?We?re here,? said the pair stepping through the door from the back of the trailer.?
