"Nice to meet cha, kid. Names Wendy and for the next," She looked up like she was trying to calculate something and then looked back at me. "10 hours you'll be stuck with me."

"WHAT?!"

~

"WHAT?!" I screamed as loud as I could. "10 HOURS?!"

"Don't worry: It might be a little more!" All the sudden, Wendy pulled a lever.

"Grab on to somethin'!"

Suddenly, the box started to shake. It felt like it was taking off.

"Woah!" I fell back towards the doors. On impact, the doors opened and slammed the other side.

"HELP!" I yelled to Wendy. I was hanging on with my hands.

"Idiot!" Wendy took the circular metal bar around the controls and slowly made her way to in front of the door.

"Whatever you do, don't look down!" I looked down.

I saw my legs swaying in the air. About 2,000 ft in the air. I screamed.

"I said: Don't look down!" Wendy grabbed my hands and pulled me up.

"Do humans always not listen?" She sighed.

"H-humans? You say it like your not one of us?" 

"What the hell do you think?" She gave me a 'are you stupid' look.

"Yes...?"

Wendy sighed. "No idiot! If I'm older then you could imagine, how could I be human?!"

"Uh-by being a 20 year old human...?"

Wendy growled. "What?! That doesn't even make sense!" She walked back to the control panel.

"Wait-" I walked over to Wendy. "If you're 'older then I could imagine' then why do you look like you're 15?"

"Well," She didn't look at me. "It has something to do with desire. See, when I was 15 I chose to stay 15 in looks." She looked up at me with a sad/mad face. "Worst mistake of my life and I'm 415." She shook her head and went back to controlling the ship.

"Really?! Wow!" I looked at Wendy in amusement. Soon, my eyes started to look away and at the ship. I went around exploring.

"Yaknow I should have waited at least till I was in my 20s. Do you know how hard it is to convince the bartender you're older then 15?" I was too busy looking at the ship to listen.

I slid my fingers across one of the metal bars around the ship.

Ow!

I looked down to see what bit me, but I didn't see anything. I shrugged it off.

"How old is this ship?" I asked looking around.

"399 years old. Got it as a sweet 16 present."

"Woah. After 399 years this still looks amazing!" I looked over to Wendy who was smiling with pride.

"Yep. She got me out of so many fights. Good times..." She stood at the panel smiling and remembering the past.

All of the sudden, the blue box began to shake.

"Uh-Wendy?!" She snapped out of her trance and started to work quickly on the panel.

"Uh oh!" The power shut off. She slammed her fist on the controls. "Dammit! Something has taken over control of the ship! Romeo!" She snapped her head towards me. "Grab on to something!"

I nodded and did as I was told.

"Hold on!"
