A Hayu's Dream

Gina. Tier came by and told me to start weaning Gina from my milk. The babies are lying on a blanket asleep. They look so cute sleeping. I adore babies. Aw. Bruce is lying on the ground on his side watching the babies. I'm writing in here. David and Daniel are awake and are playing a game of tag in their wolf forms. I wonder where the babies came up with that tag game. It is very funny. Haha. Gina is awake. She has blue eyes and seems to have brown hair. I can't figure out where the brown hair came from. No one in my family has brown hair except for my descendant Anna. Duncan has green eyes and brown hair too. I think some of my ancestors probably had brown hair. I'm not sure. Clouds are forming in the sky. The clouds look dark. I think it’s going to rain. I better put away the journal and bring the babies inside the cave.
I pointed out the sky to Bruce. He gathered the twins and the blanket after I picked up Gina and Duncan. Both babies seemed to like being held. We went inside the cave to our quarters. Then we put the babies in the cribs. Bruce and I kissed each other on the lips then Bruce went to watch the twins kicking each other. I can't wait for the twins to talk so they could explain the kicking game of theirs. It'll be in a year I think. I'm not sure how long Amula lives to do. I suspect we can live for a long time. Our aging seems to grow a bit slowly. The babies have seemed to get a little bit bigger. I can't wait to finish this journal. I'm now halfway through it. I hope I'll finish it by my birthday. I asked Bruce he's birthday. He explained it was on December 10. Well I wonder where I'll be on his birthday. I guess we could have sex too. I think I can't get pregnant again. I don’t know. I could be wrong. Tier told us that Bruce and I are going to a colony world for Amula. I hope the world is a paradise compared to here. I asked Tier if our babies could come along. Tier explained in sign language that it isn't his decision but the High Council leader Jupiter. I asked Tier who was Jupiter despite knowing a planet by that name. Tier clammed up and explained that he was their leader. Then Tier left the room. I'm excited about going to another colony world. It is very exciting. Bruce looked skeptical.
He asked me "How are we going to the colony world if that weird ship rejected us?"
His question took my excitement away. I went to write in here. Gina is crying to be fed. Tier told me to wean her. I think it's going to be hard not feeding her. I think I'm loosing milk. I've been taking showers before going to bed. I have been too tired to write about taking a shower. I think its boring old news. I took a hot shower. Bruce joined me in the shower and we washed each other on the backs. It was good to have a back rub from Bruce. Then we got a little steamy. Tier came and opened the shower stall open turning the water off. He told us in sign language to wait until we're at the colony world to try having sex. I don't know who was rude, Tier or I. I think Tier was rude to open the shower and see us in our nude. Tier left the bathroom. I checked on the babies. They were asleep. I think I'll go to bed now. Bruce is asleep lying next to me. I checked Gina. I started weaning her today. She seemed to be fine. I'm tired so I'll go to bed now. Good night.

Dear Anne,
Bruce and I fed the babies. The Sakul helped us. We brought them outside. It was a beautiful sunny day. A ship came from the sky and landed in the valley. The ship was like a space shuttle. Tier came and told us the ship is taking us to another ship that will take us to the colony. I asked him about the babies. Tier explained he was sorry but Jupiter told him to leave the babies here. I'm very upset about this. Tier told us that they are willing to knock us out and ship us to the colony with or without our permission. I kissed the babies bye and entered the ship with Bruce. The ship was exactly like the ship I stayed in with Sue. I saw Rani, Jella, Lana and Lorne. They weren't happy about leaving their babies here on the planet. I guess it was the Sakuls' way of getting rid of the parents. I really hope we can have more babies. We sat in the cafeteria room, which were soft chairs with seat belts on them. We sat down and buckled ourselves in. I could feel the ship rise in the air and with a burst of power went into space. It was my first time I felt a feeling of being weightless. The shuttle had windows. I could see the planet below us and the sister planet far away. The shuttle entered a ship that seemed vast in design and shape. The shuttle entered the ship. The weightless feeling went away. I could feel the ship's engines. Then we got off the shuttle and boarded the ship. The ship was seemly on the large side. We met the crew of five people, Captain Horne Blower, second in command Anna Kingly, must be a descendant of Maureen and Christian and third in command was someone named Shiryo. I wonder does she know about Duncan and Gina I don't know. Well the other two people were Raisa Geltov and her husband Ilia Geltov. They led us to quarters. The quarters were square looking and had built in bunk beds. There was a small bathroom with a shower stall. I took the top bunk. Bruce took the bottom bunk. I went to explore the ship and see the command center. The command center was like on the ship I was on with Sue. It was square looking room with a big round window. There were consoles with buttons on them. They were attached to the walls. There were four decks. The walls were gray color. I'm surprised that there is gravity. I wandered around the ship. The captain came and told me to go back to my room and stay there I went to my room and found Bruce asleep I decided to write in here. I'm going to miss my babies. I'm sad about that. I hope I can have more children. It seems unlikely. I felt the ship move. There was a table in the room that showed an outside view of the ship. The ship entered a gated area and went fast. I felt myself thrown on the door and pinned to the wall. It was very annoying. I crawled to the bunk bed. Bruce helped me up the top bunk. I wonder how many days does it take to get to the colony? I hope Bruce and I will be fine. I think I'll sleep now. I'm a little tired. Yawn. The lights dimmed a bit.
Yours,
Liza

Dear Anne,
Shiryo came in the room and woke us up and told us it was day two on the ship. She led us to the cafeteria. The others were there. I could see Lana, Lorne, Rani and Jella including the ships' crew of five people I'm surprised that is takes five people to control a ship. I asked the captain if there were Sakul aboard. The captain confirmed this. He told me that the Sakul are in the command center keeping an eye on things for him. It was nice of the Sakul. Breakfast was more goo. I complained about the goo. Jella told me to put up with it. After breakfast Bruce and I explored the ship. It had four decks and on the first deck was the command center. There were several Sakul there. The second deck had quarters in it. The quarters were small and square looking with built in bunk beds. The third deck had the lounge room, a room that appears to be a game room, weight room and cafeteria. The fourth deck had the engine room. Then Bruce and I went to the game room. There was a ping pong game and video games. The video games were violent killing people in it. I decided not to play the games. I even had forbidden Bruce to play them. We played Ping-Pong. The game ended in a tie. Shiryo came to tell us it was lunch time. We went to the cafeteria. There were food machines that gave off food and drink. For lunch was goo and something green to drink. I can't wait to eat something else besides goo. It's getting disgusting. I asked Shiryo when we reach the colony. She told me in another day of eating goo yuck. I can't wait to go outside and breathe fresh air. I'm getting a little sick from breathing air that is stuffy. Bruce and I went to the weight room to pull weights. I think I shouldn't have done that because my arms and legs hurt from pulling weights. After weight pulling was dinner. Then we played a game of Ping-Pong. Shiryo came by to tell us it was bedtime. We went to our quarters to bed. I pulled out my diary and started writing in here. Bruce asked about my life as in where I was born which I told him in Earth in a hospital in New Haven. He explained he was born on a ship and spent most of his life growing up on a ship to Terra. That is a new thing I learned about Bruce. The lights blinked. Shiryo came in and told us it was time for bed.
Yours,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
I still don't know what time it is. Shiryo woke us up. I felt tired like I wasn't refreshed. Breakfast was goo.
I asked the captain "Whose idea was it to eat this stuff?"
He told me "The Sakul."
I suspect goo is part of their diet. We went to the command center after Breakfast. The Sakul opened the blast doors and showed the planet it looked like hell. It was reddish orange and appeared to have volcanoes on it. I don't know whose idea was for us to stay there. I asked the captain the name of the planet. He wouldn’t tell me. We boarded a shuttle and it took us to the planet. I looked out the window in the shuttle. It is like depths to me. There was dark dirt ground with seemly dead trees, also a volcano in the distance. I could see creatures with yellow eyes on the planet. They looked like spiny Humanoid creatures with long clawed hands. There was a forest full of trees. The shuttle landed on the ground. I could see caves and dark crystal spires in the distance. The air was different. It was very weird. A Sakul met us and gestured us to follow him. We followed the Sakul walking up a small hill
