The launching

As I went to do my tasks, the ship started moving, at first it started shaking,  then rumbling, then it went upwards.

A few minutes in and before I knew it, we were in space! The stars were awesome, and one could see all kinds of asteroids with different shapes and sizes. I looked at the stars, awed at its brightness.

"Well you seem surprised." Someone said in a whisper.
"Gah- you scared me...... Oh It's just you." I said jokingly.
"W-why do you have a devils tail?"
"It's my accessory." He answered in a calm voice.
"Cool! Where can I get one?"
"Cafeteria."

I headed straight for the cafeteria, as a table filled with all kinds of designs for your spacesuit was sitting before my eyes. What interested me most were the cages. One cage was filled with five adorable little puppies, light blue colored with only one eye. I thought it would be a perfect pet for me, since it matched the color of my suit.

"GRRrrRRRrrrrrR" one of them growled.
"Arf arf!" One barked cheerfully.

One kept chewing the cage, another one joined in chorus as he barked,
I don't want any of them, I thought, that's when I realized another puppy was behind all of them.
It looked sad and gloomy. I reached in to scoop it up into my arms. At first it started whimpering, and then quieted down......

I wanted a tail too, so I picked the  devil's tail. It was an ordinary tail with a triangle at the tip, I could reach things with it, so I used it to pet the puppy.
I had to carry him while doing my tasks.

I realized he was a boy, and named him Pancake. He was still shivering in my arms. He was as cold as the vents. I caught up with Yellow doing his tasks in Admin.
"Who's that little guy?"
"Pancake, he's male, and he's real quiet."
"I would love to have a pet, but I'm not very fond of responsibility." He chuckled.

Yellow still wasn't done in doing his swipe card task, and was having trouble while he kept getting failed attempts. "Ugghhhh.... this task is lame, I'll never get done." He mumbled disappointingly. "I'd love to help.... But I have to do my tasks in Medbay."
"Yea, it's fine. See ya later."
"See you." I replied.

I made my way to Medbay, but just as I got inside, I caught a glimpse of Lime and Red. They were doing tasks together in upper engine. I felt jealousy grow inside of me, as I realized Lime hadn't been doing tasks with me. Neither had he talked to me.

I'm probably just paranoid, I told myself. I tried to comfort myself. why was I being so dramatic?!
Were my instincts telling me something?! 

As I did my tasks, I saw Lime pass by the hallway. He didn't notice me. 

As I did my tasks after another, lunchbreak was called. They were serving; Burgers, fries, hotdogs, salads, pepsi cola and gatorade.


"finally, I'm starving!" I said, as Yellow looked at my plate.
"You look like you are," he said "Your plate is filled with just about everything!"
"Well, you know what they say, the more the merrier!" I mumbled, with my mouth filled.

We finished lunchtime in a few minutes, and went back to doing tasks. Some of us could take a nap, and I took the opportunity, as I was tired. Yellow, on the other hand, continued his tasks. I woke up at about 02:34 pm. I went and drank my leftover pepsi, As I cleansed my face at the restroom.

I went back to doing my tasks. My jealousy grew even further, as I saw Lime hang out with a bunch of people, except me. It was fine hanging out with them, I thought. But why not ask me too? Well yeah I was sleeping but.... I just could not control my jealousy. Especially over Red. they're literally roomma-
"Come on in on our conversation, Cyan!" My thoughts were interrupted, as Lime greeted me.
"uhhmmm... Hold on a sec, I just need to- uhhhhh d-do my tasks."
"Aren't you done with those yet?"
"Nope."
"Well then, you better get going now, see ya!"
"Yea, uhmm see you." I replied

It was embarrassing because I kept stuttering in front of the others. They must've enjoyed watching me suffer, I thought.

Little did I know, my suffer was just beginning.
