"Alright, alright," Prius sighed. "Relaaax. Look, the last few are way behind us. We'll make it alright."

She glared at him. "Then let's get on before they catch up." They were just a few exasperating feet from the dropship by this point.

Prius laughed and began to jog by her side. "Is this better, boss?"

"Considerably." The dropship was packed with kids, ranging from young to not-quite-as-young, anxious and excited and the rare few panicking.

Prius let out a low whistle. "Looks like everyone's excited for the trip, then."

"Just find a seat and don't fall out," she said, waspish. She was strangely grateful to have something to focus on besides the possibility that the dropship would crash and they'd all die, however.

With a faraway sort of smile, Prius plopped himself down in the nearest chair, which was by no means actually close to them.

Nisha sat down and laid her cane across her lap. As the last few people meandered in, the doors to the ship closed. "Launching in 10. 9. 8."

"Seven... Six... Five..." Prius had begun counting along with the intercom, noting The numbers with his fingers.

"Four… three… two… one…" The dropship shuddered and began its plunge, accompanied by screaming children.

Prius felt himself shake and move along with the ship, not even registering the screaming. "Can't wait to get home, boss."

"Can't wait for you to get out of this smoke-induced haze. Seriously, how did you even get that stuff in a prison cell?" Nisha griped.

Prius turned to her, his wide grin made even more eerie in the flashing lights of the ship. "Dirt and seeds find their way everywhere, boss. You can't stop Mother Nature. Think of me as a loving disciple."

"Oh my god. You've got to be most ridiculous person I have ever met." She rolled her eyes. "You're about to meet Mother Nature, and I doubt she's as pleasant on Earth as she is on the ship."

"Hey, hey, I know what I was made for. Nice or not, I'm gonna continue the big mother's work like the fates intended. You'll see."

"I'm sure I will." Most kids had calmed down, but they were nearing the Earth at a vaguely alarming speed. Is this what the landing is supposed to be like?

Prius turned away, just as the hiss of metal heating at an alarming rate began to ring through the suddenly quieted ship. "Well. Maybe we won't be landing in her arms so softly."

"Told you," she mumbled. "Well, it was nice knowing you." Even if I never learned your name and you were intoxicated on who knows what the whole time.

"Hey, now. I trust in the mother down there to spare at least a few of us. Hope that includes you and me, boss."

"Quite the optimist you are." Out the window, the earth was drawing nearer by the second.
