SnowFlake took a long draw on her drink and remarked,"Damned alien goofs! What are they waiting for? I have a class to teach." Slicy waved a hand and said boredly,"We've hailed and hailed them! They're ignoring us." Slicy edged closer to Snowflake and said to her in machine language,[Insert eye-rolling emoticon]*You spent a long time getting dressed. A long time with that Scav man. Please don't tell me you are or HAVE had sex with him?*[Insert pop-eyed emoticon] SnowFlaked looked away and replied,[Insert angry emoticon]*SHUT UP! That's MY business! Our plumbing IS compatible. It would be an act of friendliness.*[Insert hug emoticon] Malbess was eying the circling alien craft with growing anger until she heard the machine language interchange and chimed in,[Insert SnowFlake pouncing on 518 emoticon][Insert wild sex emoticon]*An act of EXTREME friendliness!* [Insert LOL emoticon and ROFL emoticon] SnowFlake snapped out audibly,"HEY! SHUT UP, both of you! I'm not talking to either of you! Malbess! Either drink that soda, or give it to me, or throw it at the damned aliens, but stop playing with it!" Malbess said in machine language,[Insert short animation of Malbess throwing huge grenade at flying saucer, followed by it's crash and burning]*If I had something appropriate to toss, it'd be tossed! Inconsiderate bastards! I'm bored! I'm concerned about my little princess on Novo Paradisio! Dammit!*[Insert emoticon of a fuse burning on an old bomb] Slicy added, pertly,[Insert 518 and Snowflake hugging emoticon]*I'd imagine you'd like some "Show and Tell" time,too? Am I right?*[Insert Snowflake in front of class, tearing off 518's clothes like a magician's trick emoticon] Malbess went,[Insert ROFL emoticon]. Snowflake slowly crushed her drink cup in anger and said in a casual tone to 518,"I'm bored out of my mind. Would you like to meet my class,now?" 518 turned to his acquaintance, Martya and looked over at Snowflake and shrugged, saying,"Sure, why not? It's been over three and a half hours. We're wasting time. When the aliens land...if ever...we can be recalled. Can Martya come along, too?" Malbess inserted in machine language,*Threesome, anyone?*[Insert Snowflake punching Martya emoticon][Insert ROFL emoticon] Snowflake snapped angrily at Malbess,"Either throw the can or stop playing with it!!" Malbess laughed and hurled the soda can like a hundred and twenty mile an hour fastball at the alien craft. Snowflake had just enough time to squeal out,"OH SHIT!" The can hit with a loud SPUNCHSSSSS sound and fell out of sight. The craft instantly stopped and flew over the landing pad and extruded landing legs. Malbess ran over to Snowflake and Slicy and quavered out, "I...didn't think it would hit them OR that they stop and land!" Snowflake winced and said,"If we get into a SHOOTING war over you tossing a can of soda at them, I'll kill you first!" Malbess looked at the saucer at it touched soundlessly down, and said in a loud voice at it,"SHE told me to do it!" She pointed at Snowflake and went on,"I don't even live here!" 518 said to Martya, who was trying to NOT hyperventilate, "Well...this first contact is off to a rousing start! Hopefully we won't die in the First Interstellar War over Soda. That seems too ironic for words." Martya tried to hide her face and groan in disgust,"At least it's not OUR fault! THIS time. Gawd!" --TO BE CONTINUED!--
