A Hayu's Dream

him of Earth's law of Perfection. Maureen thought we could stay on Edenia for a long time. A Hoodlum came up from the ground. Cra'zy's ears flipped back and so did Jo'ler. I don’t think the Hoodlums and the Felidae get along very well. The Hoodlum apologized for intruding in sign language. He told us that a ship from the sky has come and landed near the three spires. People with sticks came out and stood around. The people went into the spires and came out empty handed. They found the vehicles in the bushes. They put a box like object on the vehicles which made the vehicles burst in flames. Then the hoodlum went into the earth. We talked about what the hoodlum told us. Andy asked me if I could do the hoodlum trick with the stick. I tried and sunk into the earth. I came out of the earth full of dirt on me. The others were shocked. I was shocked too. I told them I needed to take a bath and wash my clothes. I went to the restroom and took a shower. I took out my diary and left it on a ledge. I washed my coverall. Then I squeezed the water out of the coverall. I walked to my room in my underwear carrying my diary and the hoodlum stick in one hand. I hung my coverall out to dry. Then I put the blanket around me. Being in the Earth felt like being in water. I felt like I was jumping into a pool and was under water in a pool. As for the dirt on me it felt like water. It was a very weird experience. I felt it was strange. Heather came by. She asked me about sinking in the Earth. I told her about feeling like water. Heather tried my stick and went into the earth herself. She came out full of dirt. She put my stick next to the wall and left my room. My coverall was dry. I don't want Bruce and his father to see me in my underwear. I got dressed then I opened the door. Luke and Bruce were they're looking worried. I told them I was fine. I told them about Heather trying my stick and doing the hoodlum trick. Luke told me it explains why Heather was full of dirt. It was time for bed. Bruce was on the lower bunk asleep. Luke was else where. The light was on. I have to turn it off to go to sleep. Good night.
Yours,

Dear Anne,
I slept fine. Luke woke us up at dawn. What happened to sleeping late? I love to sleep late. Breakfast was fruit. Not again. Outside was a sunny day. Bruce and I sat on the grass admiring the view. We chatted about the spires. We ran inside when we saw a ship coming in our direction. I warned the others about the ship. My hearing aids weren't working so I put them in a pocket. We stood hidden in our rooms. I asked Luke what he was hearing.
He told me "Gunfire."
I hope it’s nothing serious. I was on Luke's bed with Bruce holding me. Luke has his ear to the door. I put my hearing aids on. I could hear a strange noise that sounds like thunder. The noise stopped. Luke opened the door and went out. He came back and told us it was safe to come out. Outside the ground was littered full of people and Felidae. There were green people with claw marks on them. Andy grabbed their guns. I searched the bodies for food and other items. Then we buried the dead. The ship sat parked next to the spire. The wounded people limped back into the ship Semper Fi. The shuttle took off in the air and flew away in the sky. Heather used her nursing skills to help the wounded Felidae. Heather did several operations to get the bullets out of them. The hoodlums came up from the ground. They buried the dead Felidae. Then we helped bring the wounded to the medical cave. I think my coverall got stained. I went back outside and went behind a tree and I threw up. I saw a person in green attack me with a knife. I ran away from him screaming at the top of my lungs. At that moment I panicked forgetting to defend myself in my wolf form. Rats. Cra'zy came by and attacked the guy. They fought for awhile until Cra'zy knocked him out. The others came over when they heard my screaming. Christian had rope with him, which he used to tie the guy up. His nametag read Jordan. He was my height with long brown hair. Christian pocketed the knife and dragged Jordan into the cave. Then I fainted. When I came too I found myself in Bruce's bed with Bruce holding my hand. He looked worried. Bruce told me Jordan is on a bed in another room. He was still unconscious. Heather examined me. She told me it was shock, which is why I fainted. Bruce escorted me to the cafeteria. I ate dinners, which were fish and fruit. I was getting a little sick of fish and fruit. I can't wait to eat something else. I have a headache. After dinner was a meeting. We discussed what to do with Jordan. Andy suggested asking Jordan what was going on Terra. Christian stopped by told us Jordan was awake. We walked into the cave to the room next to the bathroom. Jordan sat on the bed his feet and hands bound. He had a look of disgust on his face when he saw us.
He spoke "Lieutenant Taylor Jordan 2345"
And he repeated that over and over. Christian slapped him, which made Jordan stop talking.
Christian asked him "Why are you here?"
Jordan answered "To kill those who are not perfection."
He sneered when he spoke that. Christian rolled his eyes.
Maureen asked him "Why did your crew leave you here?"
Jordan answered "Who knows?!”
Christian asked him what was happening on Terra. Jordan told us the news branded us fugitives. I noticed his feet. One foot was turned in way. I untied his shoelace. He screamed at me. I didn't understand a word he said. I took his boots off. His right foot was a clubfoot. His left foot was turned. I think he wasn't perfect which made Jordan weep. We left him alone to cry. Then we went to the cafeteria to hold a meeting. I told everybody that Jordan might be a good ally. Christian was skeptical. Maureen thought it was a great idea. Terin admitted that she found a connection towards Jordan. I think its love. I noticed Jordan stared at Terin when he talked to us. After the meeting I went outside with a Felidae following me. I saw the sunset. It was beautiful. I stayed outside until it got a little cold. I went to the cafeteria and sat on a bench. What a day. I took a shower and went to my room. Bruce was there lying in bed awake. He and I chatted for a bit. We talked about the day that happened. Luke wandered in covered with dirt. He had my stick with him. I can't believe he did that. Luke left to take a shower. Bruce and I continued talking. I saw Christian run by the opened door. I got up from bed and went into the hallway with Bruce behind me. We saw Christian ran into Jordan's room. We followed him in Jordan's room. Jordan was there with a gun at Terin's head. He threatened to shoot her. Christian told him not to. Jordan told us to take him to the shuttle Excelsior. Christian refused. Terin elbowed Jordan in his private part. Jordan doubled over in pain dropping the gun. Christian grabbed the gun and checked it. There were no bullets in the gun. Terin helped Jordan to the bed. She kissed him on the lips. Christian had a look of disgust on his face. He was disgusted with Jordan. I was too excited to sleep. Bruce was on the lower bunk staring at me as I write. I think he's in love with me. I should be going to bed but I don't feel tired. Luke is here told me to go to sleep.
Excited,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
I got up and stepped on Bruce's hand on my way down the bunk bed. I think I woke him up. He followed me to the bathroom I took a drink from the shower water. The water tastes funny. Left a funny taste in my mouth, which Bruce thought that was funny of me. I told him I was thirsty. Then Bruce kissed me on the cheek. We got a little kissier when someone tapped my shoulder. I stopped kissing Bruce to see Kanica awake.
She quietly told us in sign language "Please wait until you know each other better before having a baby."
She went into her room. Bruce and I walked to our room. Luke woke us up early. I wasn't the only one yawning. Bruce was yawning too. Breakfast was fish and apples to eat. I had water to drink. Heather insisted I eat an herb. I ate one and it didn't taste very good. Outside was a beautiful day. It was warm out. Bruce and I walked hand and hand outside. We stood in the sun watching the clouds roll by. It was a peaceful day. I felt relaxed that I changed into my wolf form and sat snoozing and relaxing. Bruce did the same and snoozed with me. I felt I didn't sleep very well last night. I went to sleep and I had a weird dream. I dreamed men in green suits with guns came barging in the room and shot us. The dream disturb
ed me a lot that I woke up. Bruce was up. Luke came to tell us it was lunchtime. Lunch was fruit and fish. I was dying for a cheeseburger with French fries and soda to drink. I was having cravings for food I ate in the twentieth century. I can't believe we don't make them anymore. After lunch was a meeting. We talked about the shuttle Excelsior then about getting more food. Our food supply was getting a little low. Jo'ler came by and Christian told him about the food supply being low. Jo'ler told us he'll dispatch several of the Felidae to get more food. We thanked him then he wandered out of the cafeteria. Maureen mentioned that it was beautiful day out so we walked outside. I think it must be the diet I ate. I can't wait to eat something else besides fish and fruit. I came out from behind the tree to see Bruce leaning on the tree. He was waiting for me. We walked down the mountain. I could see Felidae tree jumping overhead us. Halfway down the sky darkened a bit so we ran in our wolf forms back to the cave. It rained when Bruce and I arrived at the cave. The rain was followed by thunder and lightening. It was a storm. I was going to be bored. I hope the Felidae are okay in the storm. I haven't seen Cra'zy around. I guess
