Unquestionable Answers. Unthinkable Thoughts

The ship is all quiet, too quiet for me. But it's better than hearing that fighting earlier. Usually, Spike and Faye-Faye's fights don't bother me. In fact, I was used to it. But I could hear every word that tumbled from their mouth, and trust me, they wasn't talking about money. When you hear sad stuff like that, it takes all the fun out of listening. So I just gathered myself and moved to the kitchen. I packed one extra bowl of soup for the rainy day. Jet had no idea that the rainy day was tomorrow. Actually, it was ironic I said that, because it is gonna rain that day. So I made sure I packed a pair of rubber yellow boots and an umbrella and a raincoat. When I passed up Spike on my way back to my room, he was trying his best to hide his emotions. I would have been fooled at first glance, but I already heard the fight and knew already he was upset. Plus, his eyes showed it. The nun that took care of me for a little while always said eyes are the windows to the soul. Spike has sad eyes, I guess he has a sad soul. Jet has determined eyes, I guess he has a determined soul. Faye's eyes are always changing. I guess she has a confused soul?

I sighed and slapped my cheeks, rolling my head on my shoulders. I'm tired and my eyes are burning and dry, but I haven't found anything. Not one thing. I hacked Social Security folders on Earth. Didn't find anything there. I try searching with my father's name, all that came up was a few news paper articles in which he was featured for trying to map the earth. Nothing, absolute nothing. So I try the old-fashioned way. I looked in a few books I picked up on the last stop, and I still couldn't find what I was looking for. I rubbed my eyes and cracked my back, making Ein glance up at me.

"We'll stop for today," I say to the pouch, getting up and decided to take a walk. I pass up Spike again, this time, Jet is sitting with him.

They're both looking at TV with blank faces. Out of curiosity, I glance at the screen and big-shots suddenly pop on the screen. Usually I would stick around to see the new bounty, but I just head to the kitchen. I could hear the TV say something about Earth and 300,000,000 woolongs. I paid no attention to it, and turned back to what I was doing. I filled a bowl with the soup, which was a little cold. I popped it in the microwave and put some crackers sticking out the side in a real artistic way. I hold the spoon in the other hand and make my way to the room I heard screams echoing from earlier. The door is locked, so I just bang on it a few times and leave the soup on the floor. Once I turned around and walked a few feet down the hall, I could hear the door hiss-open. When I glanced back over my shoulder, the soup was gone. I smiled to myself and continue to walk down the hall. Jet suddenly rushes past me, and shouts to Faye's door on the way, "WE'RE GOING TO EARTH! GOT A BOUNTY TO CATCH!" then he's down in the cockpit. I turned towards Ein.

"Maybe I can look for some answers there."
