Quantos and I are leaving the bar, when Mick approaches us, his face white as chalk.
“Are you leaving, Ed?” he asks.
“Well, yes. We are going to Paris with my UFO” I say, deadly serious.
Mick widens his eyes, but then whispers something about vampires, changelings, harbingers of death and finally, louder, asks: “ Can I come with you?”
“Obviously you can, Mick. And bring Shirlery, too!”
“Cool! She always talks about how Paris is romantic!”
I see Danny enjoying his time with the skull faced one, and with an even stranger man. Well, if he is having fun, no need to ask him if he want to come. Plus, I think in the UFO there is sufficient room for only five persons.
Mick goes to Shirley’s table, they talk, then they both hug a huge bear (why I am not surprised?) and join us, smiling.
In a few minutes we are on the beach, where Chance is waiting for us.
“Ed, I don’t see any trace of your supposed UFO” says suspiciously the Swedish.
“Oh, the UFO is inside the volcano. I though that was the safer place to hide it. But now I call him”.
UFO! Come here.
An instant has passed, and the saucer lands without any noise in front of us, while all my friends wonders at the incredible machine.
Chance and Quantos stroke tenderly the surface, observing the glowing spots that runs over the curved metallic shape.
I touch it, and the flank opens.
“Welcome in my humble UFO” I say, jokingly.
“But there are no seats” notices Shirley.
“Yeah, but you don’t feel acceleration here, so you can simply stand” I explain. “Either, sit on the floor, Shirley.”
“But how do you fly this?” asks Quantos.
“Ah, it’s apparently easy. I only need to think it. The bad part is that you have to keep thinking that. You get distracted, and the UFO fall!”
“Gulp” says Mick, looking worried.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s not so difficult, in truth. Look!”
UFO, take flight! OK. UP. UP. UP. UP. UP. UP. OK. Route North-East. Very fast. Go GO GO GO.
“Ehi, we are moving!” exclaims Chance, looking outside the 360 degree window.
“Cool! It seems we are still, here!” says Mick.
GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO
“But why you have this sort of bond with this saucer, Euro?” asks Chance, still looking everywhere trying to understand as much as possible of the UFO.
GO GO GO “Well,” GO GO GO “somehow my father” GO GO GO GO “pointed me to this” GO GO GO GO GO “ just before dying in area 51” GO GO GO GO UP UP UP UP UP UP UP “but I am not” GO GO GO GO GO “sure that this bond is” GO GO GO GO GO “ exclusive!”
“You mean that maybe others can fly this thing?” asks Quantos.
GO GO GO GO GO “Actually, yes.” GO GO GO GO GO “I was asking to all of you if” GO GO GO GO GO “want to try to fly this” GO GO GO GO GO.
Everybody GO GO GO look at me GO GO GO GO GO surprised.
“Just keep concentrated” GO GO GO GO “Who wants to be the first?”
