  But Kevin’s father had anticipated his son’s impatience and had removed everything from the guest room and put it in storage so that he and Lacuna could already sleep together. Furthermore, his dad had proposed that once the room was ready, Kevin could transform the basement into an entertainment room, and Kevin was looking forward to that project as well.

  Kevin had also received an acceptance letter from MIT. Apparently, the person who had rejected his entry had seen his video on YouTube and convinced the school he had made a mistake. Kevin was happy about that, but he didn’t really see himself spending all his time away from Lacuna. But he knew they would find a way to make it work.

  Today had been a good day for Kevin. For his birthday, they had gone out to eat.

  “You have fun today, birthday boy?” asked Lacuna.

  “Yeah, what about you?”

  “I really liked the food. What was it called again?”

  “Sushi.”

  “It was both colorful and delicious.”

  Kevin smiled. “I’m glad you liked it.”

  “Where are we going?”

  “You’ll see.”

  They walked through the forest and soon arrived at a small lake.

  “What is this place?”

  “This, my dear, is where it all started.”

  They both laid on the grass.

  “What do you mean?”

  Kevin recounted how the Arcadian ship crashed into the lake and how Kevin made first contact with them in their time of need.

  “To think before all of this, I was just a boy without any prospects, dreaming of adventure and playing video games.”

  “And now?”

  “I guess now I have had my fair share of adventure, and I’m glad to just relax and enjoy a romantic walk by the lake with the woman of my dreams.”

  “Awww…that’s so sweet.”

  They kissed passionately.

  Kevin turned his head to the side.

  “Everything okay?” asked Lacuna.

  Kevin nodded with a smile. “I thought I heard something. Boomer! You can stop hiding behind the bush and join us.”

  Lacuna looked where Kevin was looking and saw Boomer trot their way.

  “I guess we forgot to invite him,” said Lacuna.

  “Well, it’s less romantic with a farting ball of fur, but we probably should have, nonetheless.”

  Boomer sat on Kevin’s legs and farted.

  “See what I mean?” said Kevin.

  “Sorry, too many beans at dinner.”

  “Sure, that’s what it must be.”

  Lacuna covered her nose. “Ewww. Stinky.”

  “Better get used to it,” said Kevin. “He does that a lot.”

  “Look who’s talking,” answered Boomer with a couple of barks.

  “Can I ask you two a question?” said Lacuna.

  “Of course, anything,” said Kevin.

  “Shoot,” said Boomer.

  “Do you guys think we’ll ever go on other interstellar adventures again?”

  Kevin put his arm around her, looking at the full moon, and a cool breeze ran through his hair. He pulled her against him.

  Boomer was the first to answer.

  “If we do, this time I’m the hero, and the two of you can be my sidekicks.”

  They all burst into laughter.

  “Good one,” said Lacuna. “And you?” she asked Kevin.

  “Who knows…never say never.”
