Tring! (Electrical sound of opening the elevator.)

“Welcome!” The female AI spoke and continued, “We have reached the Space Pod station number DFFR395, VIP level. Have a safe trip.” Then she vanished.

Bobby and his family came out and kept following Ben. They came out to a large hall. Thousands of portable Space Pods were inside the hall.

Ben brought them inside a space pod.

“Hey Ben, how have you been?” The pilot inside the space pod greeted him.

“Ceb, I am doing fine. You seem to be in a good shape. ” Ben Stokes replied.

“They are VIPs. I will leave them to you.” He continued.

“Ben, are you leaving?” Mia Bradford asked.

“I have more customers to receive now. ,” Ben nodded and replied.

Then, he walked toward Margaret and said with a smile, “Margaret, I will contact you soon. See you all later!”

After that, he quickly rushed out of the space pod.

“Aright, everyone, fasten your belts,” Ceb announced.

The four sat on the seats inside there. Then, they clicked on the button nearby the seats and fasten their belts.

Then Ceb also sat on his pilot sit and started flying the space pod.

“Hahaha! Everyone, godspeed!” He laughed out loud and shouted.

The space pod quickly moved toward the small blue planets.

After half an hour, it landed on the space pod platform on the planet.

“Everyone, welcome to the Gliese 667 Cc!” Ceb announced.

After that, Bobby and his family went to a nearby long-range teleportation station. There, they joined the queue of people waiting for their turns.

Margaret quickly came beside Bobby, held his hand, and started interlocking their fingers. And she asked, “Bobby, you are the genius. Can you tell me how that teleportation thingy works?”

Bobby remained silent. His mind was somewhere else. All this while, he was comparing himself with the well-masculine body of Ben Stokes.

“I am a damn loser!” He kept thinking in his mind. He was down. But, since childhood, he never showed his emotions outside. He always kept a normal face, as he liked to keep his weakness in himself.

“Hey, Bobby! Don’t you hear me?” Margaret shouted, suddenly waking him up from his depressing thought.

“Margaret, what is it?” Bobby asked.

Margaret’s thump slowly started rubbing on him. Bobby felt it too.

She looked at him lovingly and asked with a charming smile, “Bobby, why are you spacing out? Are you thinking about your girl? “

Bobby tighten his grip on her harder and stared into her eyes. Margaret also looked back at his eyes and made eye contact with him. Then, they remained in a daze and kept staring at each other.

The couple, Mia Bradford and Jeremy Bradford, also saw what the two youths were currently doing.

Jeremy frowned and tried to say something. But Mia quickly held his hand. Then, they looked at each other. She shook her head, signaling him not to disturb them.

Jeremy breathed out heavily and looked away, ignoring everything.

Soon, their turns came up.

“Ahem, ahem!” The middle-aged man inside the ticket counter coughed twice, waking Bobby and Margaret up from their daze.

“Hmph!” Margaret snorted and released her hand from his. Then she punched at his chest lightly and turned her head away shyly.

Bobby took out four golden tickets and showed them to the man.

“VIP tickets!” He said. Then, he shouted while looking at his back, “Nina! They are VIPs. Bring them inside. “

A fourteen years old teenage girl rushed toward them. She bowed at them and said with a professional smile, “Hello, I am Nina. I will bring you all inside the teleportation machine. Please, follow me.”

Soon, the four were brought into a room. The wall of the room was totally white. Their belongings were also already inside theirs.

“Good luck and bon voyage!” Nina bowed slightly to them and scampered out of the room.

“Attention!”

“Please, stay calm. You all will be perfectly safe. And your destination is the exoplanet Dwarka of the Delta Belt region. Now, starting the transmission for the four. Starting the count down! “

“10 9 8…”

A loud sound suddenly started ringing inside the room.

Margaret became extremely nervous. Bobby gripped her hand and interlocked their fingers. Then he started rubbing his thumb on her this time.

“Close your eyes! It’s okay. I am here with you.” He said.

Margaret came closer to him and closed her eyes. She soon felt a sense of security in her heart. Then she calmed herself down quickly.

Mia Bradford and Jeremy Bradford saw the close intimacy between them.

Jeremy looked away and treated them like airs. Mia made a satisfied smile and clinched his hand.

“3 2 1. Go!”

The ringing sounds became louder this time. Then, the room started shaking and quickly disappeared from that place, leaving only a largely empty hall.

————————————

Planet Dwarka,

The ringing sounds finally stopped. After that, the room also stopped shaking.

Blaargh! (sound of puking)

Bobby knelt down and started vomiting out everything that he ate in the spaceship. Others were fine as he was the only Defect among them.

Margaret quickly supported his body, brushed his back, and said, “Alright, alright! You will be fine.”

Bobby felt better after a few minutes.

Then, the four came out from inside the room.

“Welcome to Dwarka!” a man said to them from outside the entrance of the room.

“This way, please. We need to verify your identity first. Then you all can leave afterward,” He said politely.

After some moments, they all came out of the Teleportation station.

“Wow! All these buildings look magnificent.” Margaret exclaimed and shouted, “Aphrodite city, I am here!”

On the earth, every infrastructure was still built in those old fashion styles. But, here in Dwarka, everything outside was the wonders of the new advanced technology and designs.

It was already dark. The night of Aphrodite city was illuminated with beautiful lights.

They saw many tall skyscrapers all around them.𝑂𝒱𝗅xt.𝒸𝑜𝓂

“Look!” Margaret suddenly pointed at a man leaning lazily on a military car. She moved closer to Mia and whispered in her ear, “Mom, look! That is captain Jean Carlos. Isn’t he smoking hot?”
