Remember to remain calm

We all heard a loud beeping sound then the lights instantly went out. Now we're all sitting in a dark room. Then Alex immediately turned on his emergency flashlight.

Ten seconds later red lights kicked in along with this annoyingly loud sound, but no one still didn't move, they were still buckled into there seats, and In that moment I felt paralyzed, numb to the situation and physically incompetent as, I watch the whole team faces went from worry to fearful.

Now the entire team looks physically uncomfortable, disturbed and scared.

Weirdly enough only Lieutenant Paul seems barely alarmed by the current situation, Sadly I couldn't the same for the others. But I am fully aware that there seems to be something happening right now in this moment, and based on the teams intial reactions regarding the lights, that confirms my suspensions.

But I still didn't fully grasp the whole situation that's about to go down one hundred percent, but to put a positive spin on things, I would love to assume that something interesting is about to go down.

When the red lights first came on they didn't move a muscle from the shoulders down, but there faces painted a completely different story despite there stillness, so Initially it appears as if they were all waiting for orders or something, but when a minute passed by and no one came out from behind the curtain.

They quickly unbuckled themselves out off their seats, and so we the mentees did the same but serena stopped us as we're about to rush out as well.

"What are you guys doing?" She asked looking angry.

"We- we- we wanna tag along with you guys."

She then took a deep breath in, exhaled, bend down, hold my hands and calmly said, " Finster, this is not a game, listen we have never used that bell before, so that means we don't know what's waiting for us on the other side, but what I do know is that, everything is going to be okay, so I want you to do something for, okay-"

" Yes anything, I am willing to help with whatever." I said without hesitation.

" Come on Serena, let's go." Alex shouted.

She then turned around and replies, " Just go, I will be right behind you."

" Okay." Alex then looks back and still sees Paul seated and all buckled up, " Paul, I-I mean sir, what are you doing ? I think something is coming on, let's go check it out, come on let's go, sir."

A very sad and depressed looking Paul says, " Oh, what time is it?"

"Are you serious, right now we don't have time for that." Alex then rolls his eyes and walks over to lieutenant Paul, picks him up, and attempts to carry him on his shoulder, "Okay, Come on big man, let's go" He lifts him up but, he is struggling to move with him, " Hey Tim help me carry lieutenant Paul." Tim then walks over to them and assist Alex in carrying their non-functional lieutenant to the otherside.

Alex repeats again, "Serena hurry up." And left with Tim and Lieutenant Paul, " The other five members of the team has already went ahead of us. We will be waiting on the otherside, Don't let us wait for too long like last time."

" Okay, see you there and good luck." Serena replied.

she then turns back to me and says,

"Okay, listen to me Finster, Your a teenager now, your not a young kid anymore, I want all of you to prove to all of us and most importantly to the boss that all of you are strong enough to be in a spaceship and that can handle anything.

Show us how a team is suppose to act when assigned a task, but first I am going out there to check out the situation with my team, but what I really want from all of you kids is to sit still and wait for us to come back. " she says, Serena then stands up, turned her back and slowly walk away. " And Finster your in charge, we'll be back before you know it." She quickly picked up speed, and then she was gone like the wind in ... seconds.

I wanted to say so bad " But, why are you shaking so much?" But she left before I could get a word out and rushed out of the room so quickly almost as fast as lightning.

I currently stand in a room with only three other teenagers who I have never talked to in my entire life, and me and one if them have a horrible first impression. She probably hates me now, but I can't let that stop me from trying to make friends with the others, but I'm still unsure on what to do next.

Thank goodness I quickly think on feet, and rushed to the center of the room, everyone's attention is now on, this is now my chance to make an impression, I said to myself in confidence then I spoke, "Okay everyone I'm in charge now, so let's prove to the whole crew that were capable of been, apart of the team."

Alicia says, "Why should I do what any thing that you people say?" Then fold her arms with a frown on her face.

" You don't have to but I'll- " I was about to finish my statement, when a stranger walked into the room in that moment, from behind the very same curtain all the other team member just ran through.

"Who are you, your interrupting, don't you see that were having an internal conflict and a little power struggle.Come back when it's finish, I want to see how this one ends." Daniel Ford says happily with a smile on his face.

I then rolled my eyes, and walks towards the stranger and asked, " so who are you ?"

" I am the assistant pilot that was in the cockpit of this spacecraft."

"Oh" I said, and started to walk away, three seconds later I fully digested what he had just said to me and spinned back around quickly with a smile and said, "Pilot you said, so that means you see everything out there, right?"

"Ye-yes, I feel I just trapped myself into something." Pilot number two says feeling a little bit worried.

I placed my hands around his shoulders and rubbed his chess, try to reassure him that everything is and trying to let him know that he's my friend, " Mr pilot you don't have to worry sit down, sit down, here, let me give you a massage, we are friends now afterall."

*Pfft* Daniel Ford then bursts out in laughter, " ha!ha!ha! " I pay him no attention, I'm all focused on Mr pilot now.

Mr pilot he then looks at me and says, "Why? No one has never offered to do something like that for me before, are you pranking me right now?" He asked with his left eyebrow lifted, in confusion.

" No I would never lie to a pilot, muchless a friend. I respect you too much to ever, ever do something like that. Right now I feel so offended by your words." I said and stopped,massaging his shoulders, looked him in eye, trying do hard not to laugh.

"Are you serious right now? This has got to be a joke, ha!" Daniel Ford says, but we ignored him.

"But you don't even know me." He says still wary of me. But I know this time, I will successfully reassure him with my next response.

" Your a pilot and all pilots are cool, so that means, your cool." To be honest the man wasn't all that cool at all but, but who would be truly honest in my situation,now let's keep it's stack no one in this life will be one hundred percent honest with any one in this lifetime.

"So what do you want? Just rip the band-aid off and be honest."

"What, no-nothing, I would never-"

He interrupted me with the classic, " I know that your doing this for something, just get out with it already."

How could I ever respond with a lie to that common phrase, that would be so disrespectful to the people who use it, he asked for honest, and no body, and I repeat no body, should ask for honest, it's just .... meh. So I gave him honesty, shame on me.

"Okay Fine, I'm not going lie, I am wondering if we could make a trade, I give you a relaxing massage and you tell me what it is like been outerspace, how about that? Huh!"

" Okay, I guess it couldn't hurt tell you kids." I said and then smiled like a villain and laughed like a villain in my head, ha!ha!ha!ha!

" Is that allowed though?" Alicia asked

"Shup up!" Me, Daniel Ford and Stacy Ash all said at the same time.

Everyone in the room laughed, except Alicia ofcource.

" Why are you guys so mean, I'm just only trying to ensure that we don't get in any trouble, I thought I was helping." She said very sadly, while rubbing her eyes and then she dropped her head.

I know this type of tactic, I've seen it in action already and it actually works too, it won't work on me this time around again, it may work on the others, but not me. It's actually another clasic, the classic cry and let everyone feel bad for you, sympathy trick, gotta look out for that one, it's very rampant these days. It's also gaining a lot of traction and fans too, I wonder why, hmm. I then shake my head. Pity,pity,pity,pity,pity, I said to myself.

I then rolled my eyes and said out loud,"Whatever"

It's your turn now pilot go ahead.
