4 - Ted and Monika

There was a boy that also lived in a LonelyShip, his name was Ted and had brown hair, he had nineteen years old and loved to spend time on his spaceship, eating things and watching Netflix.
(Netflix is a website and mobile app where you can watch series, movies, cartoons, and anime online, using a paid plan.)
But his spaceship was different, it had a teleporter in it.
The teleporter was called LonelyShip Teleporter, the initials were LST and were written on the upper part of its plastic frame, the LST was blue.
(That teleporter did not exist in older versions of the LonelyShip, but now every SpaceLiving resident has one in their spaceship.)
It was something like a bathroom box but it was glued to the spaceship walls like it was built along with the spaceship.
It was blue and the thicker part of the LST was dark blue, its plastic door had a lighter blue, and its plastic background had an even lighter blue.
That teleporter could teleport him back to Earth whenever he wanted to.
To see his family, and to know about what was happening on Earth.
To teleport to Earth using the LST teleporter, a resident of the spaceship would need to send an LST synchronization request to a trusted house.
You can select a house by choosing its location on Earth, or using a social media profile from one of the persons that live on the trusted house.
Like the house of your parents, you can send an LST sync request to them and they will receive a hologram message to accept the request.
Then, if they accept, a little robot with wheels would fall from a satellite built by TOTB, it would fall close to the trusted house.
It would go inside the house and choose a good location for the LST teleporter, it would then disintegrate and would generate the LST using its separated parts.
The resident has the choice to open the LST door or not when arriving at the trusted house.
If the house was thought to be trusted but is not, then the resident can press the emergency button to teleport back to their LonelyShip.
He could also teleport to the spaceships of other LonelyShippers, the residents of the SpaceLiving SpaceShip Network.
Ted could simply enter inside the teleporter, close the door, and type the Discord nick and discriminator of the person on the LST's keyboard.
Then his spaceship would send a teleport request to the person that owned that spaceship.
If the person accepted, then a blue light would appear inside the teleporter, and Ted would go to the selected spaceship.
He was also on the official Discord server of the SpaceLiving Network.
Ted was a little famous in the city that he lived in before being teleported to a LonelyShip.
The people on Earth knew about the LonelyShippers and the SpaceLiving Network.
But they never had seen a LonelyShipper that came back to Earth, they thought that everyone was stuck on their spaceships and could never leave.
That is why Ted was famous, he could go out of his LonelyShip to tell people about the SpaceLiving Network.
Sometimes, Ted teleported back to Earth to visit his family and see how his city was evolving, he was happy to see his city get bigger.
The city that Ted was born in was Los Angeles, in California.
He liked his life, he was still a civilian on Earth but he liked more to spend some time on his LonelyShip.


One day, he was sat on the chair of his super-fast computer, eating some lasagna with a cup of Coca-cola while watching a live stream of the Youtuber Cellbit on Twitch.
(YouTube is a website where you can watch videos and upload videos too, there are lots of gameplay videos, songs, makeup, fun videos, animation, movies.)
(Twitch is a website where you can watch the live stream, the majority of them are of gaming, but there's also chat, instruments, song Livestreams, trips, react.)
After eating and waiting thirty minutes, he got up and grabbed a bottle of water on the TPF fridge, then placed the bottle on top of the table at the right of his mouse.
Ted dragged the live stream window to his second screen, the Twitch website where he was watching the live stream was open on the Mozilla Firefox web browser.
(Mozilla Firefox is a web browser where you can navigate the Internet.)
The screen where Twitch was open was the right screen, Ted opened a new window of Mozilla Firefox and opened the Netflix website.
Ted took a look at the catalog, he did not found anything that he was interested to watch at the moment.
Then he closed the browser windows, Ted opened the Steam gaming platform to play some games, he opened Terraria to play.
(Steam is software where you can download free and paid games to play on your computer.)
Ted played on a multiplayer server, he played for thirty minutes, finished building his house, and got a better pickax too.
After playing for a while, he closed the game.
The boy missed his family and his life on Earth, it has been some months since he was on Earth.
Ted turned off his computer and got up, he opened the door of the LST teleporter, wore some slippers, and entered inside the teleporter.
Then he closed the door and selected "Planet Earth" on the screen that the teleporter had.
The image and name of Planet Earth got bigger, it showed a house image on the inferior part and the location of the house of Ted's parents was written at the right of it.
He clicked on the house image, confirming his choice.
Then a blue light appeared on the bottom of the LST teleporter, a sound was being emitted, going up in pitch.
Ted could only see the light, not the interior of his spaceship, after some seconds, the sound stopped and he was inside the LST teleporter of the house of his parents.
The Earth LST was in the kitchen of Ted's parents' house.
His parents were eating, they got up to see Ted, Ted opened the LST's door and got outside of it.
Ted's parents hugged him, smiling and saying they missed him, the trio got a little emotional.
After that, the parents of Ted came back to the kitchen table, sitting, they invited Ted to eat with them.
Then they ate lunch, Ted's parents said that they were going to the market to buy some things.
The father of Ted was called John, his mother was called Ana.
John had brown hair, Ana had blond hair.
Ted said that he was going downtown, his parents said ok, said goodbye, and left the house.
He remembered a sister that he had while he was very young, he disappeared from his house at a very young age.
Ted does not know how that happened, he does not remember, he feels sad for leaving his family like that.
He wanted to find his sister again, to meet her and say that he is sorry.
The boy wanted to see a friend of his, he did not know if that person lived in Los Angeles.
He only talked with that friend through the Internet, he never saw that person in real life.
But he knew that friend did not live inside a LonelyShip.
Ted grabbed a backpack with things like water, food, and put it on his back.
He locked the house and walked outside.


After walking a little, Ted arrived downtown, he had brought the smartphone that he had on his spaceship.
Ted met that friend two years ago on the Internet, on Discord.
(Discord is a social network platform for gamers but non-gamers also use it.)
His friend was a girl called Monika, she had eighteen years old and had brown hair.
Ted sent a message to Monika asking where she lived, he said that he was on Earth.
Monika sent her address to Ted, Ted thought he would need a taxi, an Uber, or something like that to be able to visit her.
He thought that she lived in another city, the parents of Ted lived in Los Angeles, California.
To his surprise, Monika lived in Los Angeles too.
Monika was happy that she was finally going to meet her virtual friend.
Ted caught a bus to go there, he arrived there and knocked on the door.
Monika opened the door for him and let him in, she told him to feel at home.
"Hello, I'm Ted, your virtual friend from Discord," said Ted, smiling while blushing, looking at Monika.
"Hey, so you're Ted, I'm Monika, nice to meet in person, hehe," said Monika, smiling too.
"I... Already saw a picture of you, but... You're even more beautiful in person..." said Ted, blushing.
Monika blushed and looked away, "Thanks Ted..." said her, smiling while blushing.
Then Ted walked around the living room and sat on the couch.
"Hey, do you want a cup of water?" asked Monika, smiling.
"Yes, please," replied Ted, smiling too.
Then Monika closed the door and walked to the kitchen, she grabbed a glass and filled it with water, then walked back to the living room.
Ted drank the water and then gave the glass to Monika.
"Thanks," said Ted.
"No problem, hehe," replied Monika.
She walked to the kitchen and left the glass on top of the sink.


Then Monika walked back to the living room, sitting on the couch and looking at Ted.
"So, you know that I live in a LonelyShip, right?" asked Ted.
"Yes, you told me that some days after we started talking," replied Monika.
"Okay, hmm..." said Ted, thinking a little, looking at the floor, "I... Like you... I started to like you some months ago Monika...
You're interesting, smart, you like to play piano, to code in Python... And to read, you like literature...
I like all those things too, you even helped me with my code one day, and... I'm speaking too much, aren't I?" asked Ted.
"No, it's okay, hehe," said Monika, who leaned close to Ted and hugged him, giving him a long kiss on his lips with her eyes closed.
Ted was surprised and shocked by that, he blushed a lot while feeling Monika's mouth touching his, he closed his eyes and hugged Monika back, enjoying the kiss.
After some minutes, Monika broke from the kiss and leaned back, smiling while looking at Ted.
"I wanted to tell you this since I met you... Since I started loving you, you're such a good friend," said Ted, smiling.
"Yes, you're a good friend too, Ted.
It's incredible how time goes fast... We know each other for two years already Ted!" said Monika smiling happily.
"Oh... Really?... I love you, Monika... Thanks for being here for me... Thanks for always helping me.
Our friendship is incredible, right? Two years... Who would have thought..." said Ted looking at the floor while thinking.
"I love you too..." said Monika smiling.
"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" asked Ted, smiling.
"Of course you silly!" said Monika, jumping on Ted's arms and hugging him tightly.
Ted started caressing Monika's beautiful light brown hair, smiling and feeling her smell.
"Do you want to live in a LonelyShip with me, honey?" asked Ted.
"Of course, hehe," said Monika, smiling.
"Then you have to go to my house because the LST teleporter is there, hehe," said Ted smiling while looking at Monika.
"What is the LST teleporter honey?" asked Monika, curious.
"It is the LonelyShip Teleporter, it lets you teleport between the LonelyShips and also teleport to Earth.
It is a test of the Think Outside The Box company or TOTB, they're sending this teleporter to people to fix some bugs and errors that it has.
It's not an official thing.
I was one of the people that received the teleporter in their spaceships, so I can use it to go back to Earth whenever I want," explained Ted.
"Oh, that's cool honey, let's go there, but first I have to call my sister, she said that she wanted to live here in Los Angeles.
So I'll transfer the house to her name, and she will pay the bills, okay?" asked Monika.
"Okay honey," replied Ted.
Then Monika grabbed her smartphone and sent a message to her sister Sayori, saying that she is going to move to another house.
That Sayori can stay with the house if she pays the bills, Monika said that she is going to get her stuff and leave today.
Sayori said that she wanted to stay with the house, she said that she is going to do a trip tomorrow to bring her stuff, she lived in another city.


"I told her that I'm moving today, and she said that she is going to bring her stuff here tomorrow.
I'm gonna transfer the house to her name after tomorrow after she moves in.
Do you want to help me pack up my stuff so we can bring it to your house honey?" asked Monika.
"You don't need that honey, the LonelyShip is going to teleport everything that you own when you teleport to the LonelyShip.
The LonelyShip can teleport clothes, smartphones, hard drive data from your computer, USB sticks, pets, and other personal stuff.
The teleporter is small, only two people can fit inside, and..." said Ted, unsure about something.
"Oh, okay, so we just need to teleport to the spaceship right? And?..." asked Monika.
"Yes, and... I'm not sure if the LonelyShip will detect that you're there and that you want to live with me.
The spaceship has only stuff for one person, one fridge, one computer, one wardrobe, one bed.
But the LonelyShip knows a lot about feelings, love, and friendship, so maybe it will detect that you want to live with me," said Ted, a little unsure of what he was saying.
"Oh... So we will have only one bed right?" asked Monika looking at Ted with a naughty face.
"Monika, you naughty girl, hehe," said Ted smiling while blushing.
"Hehe, we'll sleep together if the spaceship does not detect our love, right?" said Monika while giggling a little.
"Yes, hehe," said Ted, smiling.


(I wrote this chapter on 24/11/2019.
And finished revising it on 27/04/2021.


The adventures of Ted and Monika will continue in the next chapter.
I liked to write about Ted, write about his parents, and his fame for being a LonelyShipper that can go to Earth.
And I liked writing that Ted has a sister who is a certain someone... I don't know, hehe.
Someone that is also the child of parents named John and Mary...
Thank you for reading this chapter of SpaceLiving, hehe ^^.)
