Fall is right around the corner and I couldn't be more excited! All the hay rides and spooky trails and haunted houses and trick-or-treaters! Hot chocolate and sheetz coffee! Falk is a time for all the warm vanilla candels to come out yall✌🏼Short fall days of 55 and cool nights for snuggling. Nice walks on leaves in the woods and holding hands and all the fall colors too! All the dark oranges and reds, itself all so pretty! Its all so pretty to see all the trees change and everyone being so festive and bundled up. Being together and watching horror movies all hours of the night!

Fall time also means fall attire, scarfs, hoodies, sweaters, boots, skinny jeans, and beanies! All of my favorite things to wear nowadays. I wanna get another pair of high black boots just gotta keep an eye out gonna check Gabes or Shoe show.

Hubs looks good in orange too;) Hubs looks good in any color but he looks good especially in fall colors. Oh shoot he can pull off any color really, I am super jealous! I can't wait to take all those cheesy couples fall pictures with the pumpkins in our cliche matching outfits! And I know hes gonna dread it but he's always such a good sport. I couldn't ask for a better Hubby he's the greatest. It makes me so happy how amazing he is and cooperative he always is with me and my shannagins. He knows how excited I am for all those things but most of all dressing up for Halloween!! He is very compliant to everything I need from him and it makes my heart warm! He always knows how to bring a smile to my face.

Im throwing a party of course, I enjoy planning parties and such, theres people who literally hate the stress of planning a party or wedding or anything but I love it! Like for real Hubs knows when we finally do get married, I already have everything planned down a tee! Its pretty crazy actually. I planned our 4th of july party and Thanksgiving last year was my doing with the tremendous help from his dad doing all the cooking! But I planned it all out and exicutded it. And all those holidays ended perfectly! We had a blast. I can plan baby showers too, I love all the Pintrest DIY things they have! Its so easy to do your own parties these days! Plus Im super creative and clever. And Hubs helps too.

Do you guys like parties? If so what kinda parties do you like to attend?

Halloween 2017☝🏼😚

He is always such a good sport he dressed up at work as prince Eric from the little mermaid. Everyone at work thought he wasnt gonna do it but he was such a good Prince! He did all the pictures and everything. Everyone loved our costumes, which were home made btw. I know right?! We look damn good for spending virtually nothing. It was a overall pretty easy and simple look. Luckily his mom is very crafty and knows how to sew really good! So shout out to Hubby's mom! It was a good year. This year for my party I wanna be a dalmatian and he is going to be a sexy fire fighter.👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

I think we'll be able to pull it off just as well hopefully for just as cheap! We don't work on Halloween this year so I wanted to have a party, which I think my mom is more excited about it than me and Hubs are which hey, more power to her. Shes already bought so much for it, which trust me I very much appreciate cause I know she doesnt have to but she loves doing parties too. Maybe thats where I get it from.

I invited alot of people from Captain Toms they're like my family! I've known all those people for years. I've been there for like 3 years and some change. Were all like a huge family at least the OGs are. We get away with everything at that place and were something kinda special. Everyone who works there is great at least my friends are anyhow. There's Marley, who's my A1 since day 1. We went to East together she's actually my friends youbger sister who I happen to get along with too! And her bff Ashley! Aka Red. They're both great friends of mine! We hangout quite a bit and we always have a good time! We went to carowinds and Danielle's party and Ronda's party! And theyre our favorite Olive garden dates! 👇🏼 Marley may!

We always have a good time and she always makes me smile! We always act like kids when we get together. Theres never a dull moment with my A1!

Togetherness!

The people at Captain toms are 90% of the reason I'm still there, im so comfortable there too and Im a favorite so I never get in trouble. Which I don't really go out of my way to get in trouble or anything. As long you do what youre suppose to working there the mangers pretty much leave you alone. Just do your job correctly and if she does say something just say yes and walk away it really is that simple. Whats the point of giving lip or having an attitude? I don't get it. Serving tables isn't that hard come on now. But we always do like secret Santa and all those fun things and Tina always gets a card for people at work on thier birthday's. Working there hasn't been so bad, best restuarant job I've had by far. That's why I still work there. And the money isn't so bad either right?;)

Fall time it finally starts getting busy. I cant wait for that fall time money. Chritmas is actually the best time of the year. People are always so generous. But it starts in the fall, people start going out everynight before going to see a scary movie. Fall brings people together I think...

I think that word means something and I think fall is the one of the best times for togetherness. Going out walking or sitting outside on your back porch just sitting talking with the ones you love. I love to go outside during fall time. Everything makes me feel so thankful and full and loved. Makes me think of November and Thanksgiving! Im beyond excited about those holidays! They're my favorite holidays besides Christmas and my birthday! Another year also spent with the love of my life too! I always enjoy holidays with my wonderful Hubs! He makes everyday special but especially my holidays.

Who do you guys like spending your holidays with?

What holidays are your favorites?

This year is a new year and were gonna carve pumpkins with funny desings and were gonna DIY Halloween party and its gonna be awesome. Until then friends...

Sincerly yours,

Joelle

____________________

“You bastard,” I continued. My fists shook and my eyes watered. I was about to do something stupid. I was about to repeat the same mistake I’ve made too many times before, but what stops me from doing it is Mikrovos’ hand being placed above my chest.

“This isn’t the time to mope. She’s gone,” Mikrovos bluntly forced me to come to terms with.

I didn’t know her but seeing someone die just like that sickened me, especially when she helped them finally get to me. She knew the man that killed her. She must’ve as she was on their side at one point, but he killed her. He just killed her like it didn’t matter. Like she never mattered.

“A few more minutes,” the red-haired girl whispered to us.

Because some of her blood had gotten on him, he flicked his hand and wiped his shoes onto the dirt. This causes me to become even more pissed, but I buried it. I trusted the two near me. I trusted what they were waiting for. I needed to.

“If you simply wanted to play it the hard way then you should’ve just asked.” The guards’ commander moves his hand into his pocket. He takes out what appeared to be a small rod. Then, with a press of its button, a whip made out of electricity comes bursting out of it. He cracks it onto the ground. “Who wants to die next?”

Mikrovos tries to step forward. He wants to take the lead as usual. He wants to shield us from the pain that lies ahead, but as much as he wanted to his body spoke otherwise. My friend fell to his knees. As he tries to force himself back up, he grunts.

“Mikrovos, stay down,” she ordered. She pointed her gun at the guard’s commander and stared dead into his eyes.

He turns to her. “You won’t survive if that thing hits you.”

“That’s why I’m not going to let it, but besides it’s not like we have any other choice.”

With my friend shutting up, she lets him go. I’m left to sit next to him with his right arm around my shoulders.

Her stepping forward, the commander raises his hand. The guards around us lower their weapons and step back. “Ah, so you’re the next one that’s going to fall by my hands.”

“Probably not,” she shrugs, “The man in front of me is going to fall by my hands, though.”

“Cocky, I like that. Hopefully, you can survive longer than the man I last used this on.”

She makes the first move. She shoots. The blast flies towards the space between his eyes, but it’s deflected with his whip. It lands in a nearby bush, which causes it to be set ablaze.

A smirk makes its appearance on their commander. Then, he flings his whip. It’s too fast. Too fast for her to completely dodge. She lands away from it, but not unscathed. Her shoulder bleeds, causing my friend to try to once again stand on his own, but as much as I want to help as well I know I’m not in a position to. I’d just get in her way. We both would, so I place my hand in front of his chest. I met with his eyes because of it. Neither of us needed to say anything as he set himself back down.

Her hand pressed on the wound in the hopes of stopping the blood. She gulps as her dominant hand shook. Her blood dripped down from it. He wounded the hand she’s been using to shoot, her dominant hand. As she bites down her cries, he laughs, “You won’t be able to accurately shoot your next shoot, but it’s not like things would’ve been any much different if I got your other arm. You won’t ever be able to shoot me.”

“If you think I’ll go down that easily you’re mistaken.”

“Funny, I heard something similar earlier. Maybe you’ll fall to your knees just like her.”

Thwip.

This time she’s able to dodge, but she’s unable to shoot anywhere close to him. As panicked as we all became, especially her, she still didn’t yield. She kept dodging and shooting even if she’s off by quite a distance. With every passing second, I saw her grow more and more tired. I saw her grow more and more hopeless. That is until she cracks a smile.

Their commander and I question why her attitude has suddenly changed. Unlike him, I’m able to figure out why. His shades reflect a familiar spaceship. Once its shadow stretches across the courtyard everyone lifts their heads. “What are you idiots doing? Shoot it down!”

They all scramble to get out their guns and shoot at it. Their lasers just bounce off of it and once the ship lands Saamuki opens the door. “Get in.”

As I help Mikrovos inside, they turn their attention to us. They shoot at us. Saamuki, thankfully, isn’t weaponless. She shoots back, killing some of them, which causes the rest to seek cover. Once we’re inside she asks for some girl named “Ashley”.

I don’t know who she’s talking about, so I stared at her with a blank face, but she gets her answer from one of the ship’s windows. So, even though the ship’s computer advised her to stay inside, she ran outside. After sitting him down, I watch Saamuki and who I assume to be the Ashley girl battling it out against the guard’s commander. It was two against one. Well, it was one and a half against one, but still, he was outnumbered, yet he somehow still held the upper hand. The two dodged every swing, but they weren't able to shoot him. He’s just too fast.

Saamuki grew anxious. I saw her gulp. She knows Ashley doesn’t have the time for this, especially Mikrovos. So, this time when he swung his whip at them, she grabbed it. It caused her to scream. He then tried pulling his whip out of her hands as they blackened. As he is, Ashley took the shot. She doesn’t kill him, but she is at least able to get a chunk of his neck torn off. The two then hurried back, dodging the shots from the guards in the process.

The door closes, Saamuki orders for the ship to fly us out of there. It does, but we don’t leave so easily. From left and right we get shot at by The Confederate’s ships. This caused the ship to tip from left to right and for us, to, of course, lose our footing. We slip and fall on our backs. Saamuki crawls towards the AI. She bites her lip, holding back the pain, as her hands touch the cold floor. Once she gets there she has the AI give her manual control. It does and she takes a seat where the AI was. Then, before her, a holographic screen appears. She places her hands on it and flies the ship. We’re able to lose them, but we soon lose our altitude.

Its nose points towards a field as it descends. The ship’s lights blink red and alarms go off as it does. They scream. I’m not able to make out which scream is who’s, though. Then, before we know it, we crash. I blackout.

Stars twinkle up in the night sky. Although, there aren’t as many compared to what I saw outside this quadrant. The sight isn’t as colorful as well. The sky is just plain black. Even though the sight in the corner of my eye is dreary, as their faces held frowns, it’s at least colorful. The bonfire’s orange glow reflected onto them and the crops around us. It looked like a Renaissance painting.

“She didn’t know, Ashley.” Saamuki’s voice was somber. Her eyes didn’t face Ashley and they didn’t even look down at her hands as she poured water onto them. I watched her grunt as she watched the fire eat the wood beneath it.

“You’re lying. You have to be.” My focus turns to Ashley who’s plucking out the shards of glass deep inside Mikrovos’ back. I also note how a piece of her shirt is now wrapped around her wound. Speaking of him, “I don’t want it to be true too, but you were there at the meeting. You heard what she said.” Between his words, he grunted as after every word the glass was removed.

I get up. It hurt, but I forced myself to. This gets them to realize I’ve woken up. “What are you guys talking about?”

Ashley turned away from me. She focuses on removing the rest of the glass instead of on me. As for the other two, they look at me then look at each other. It was awkward and it was especially quiet. Thankfully, Mikrovos asks, “Did they get to erase your memories?”

I grip either shoulder, ending the conversation abruptly. I also look away from them. Silence masks the scene once again.

“Do you remember this place,” Ashley had finally broken out.

“Should I?”

“It’s not the same place, but it’s similar. You had a home in a place like this.”

I move my hands to the cold dirt beneath me. I feel it. I move the dirt around, I try to remember, but all I see is just plain old dirt. Nothing more. Nothing less.

“Then, it’s true. We’re too late,” she continued. She then began to quietly cry.

Mikrovos turns to her with his newly freed back, freed from the glass, and rests his hand onto her shoulder. “Not exactly. We’re not entirely. She knew my name.”

As Ashley wipes away her tears, Saamuki steps in, “Then, what do you still remember?”

“I remember you and Mikrovos. I remember that whole journey we went on.”

“Then, do you remember why we went on it,” Mikrovos asked.

I shook my head. I remember just about everything about it. I remember how Mikrovos saved my life. Well, he’s saved it a bunch of times. I remember how protective he was and how his ears went up when I thanked him. I remember how much his eyes pleased for me to get Saamuki off of him. I especially remember him almost dying. I see him running. I see the crystal in his hands and how he struggled to keep it there as his old commander pummeled him, but I can’t remember why. I can’t remember why we risked our lives.

“It was for her.” Mikrovos moved away from Ashley just enough for me to note who he was talking about.

I trust Mikrovos. I trust his words. I can tell myself that he’s right, but I’ll never remember. I’ll never truly remember why I did all those things for her. While they see her as their friend all I can see her as is a stranger.

“I’m sorry. I just don’t remember. I believe you, but…”

We all lower our heads in defeat. That is until Saamuki lifts her head and points a finger up. “Wait. Didn’t you tell me this happened before? When my sister-”

“That’s different. What happened to her then was a head bump. She had only forgotten them This is them being erased,” Ashley cleared up.

“I’m sorry,” I repeated.

“It’s not your fault,” Ashley responded.

“Well, if you knew ahead of time I’d get my memories erased do you guys at least know why?”

Again, silence had broken between us. I saw Mikrovos gulping before answering with, “As you already know, humans are not allowed past Quadrant 5. So, it means a huge profit to anyone if they saw a human. The Space Pirate Tauvoxes asked your government for payment, so that word of your appearance would not spread. Unfortunately, your government doesn’t have enough of what they’re asking. So, they offered you as payment.”

“What? Then, why even erase my memories?”

“Because of what happened last time you were on their ship, they wanted a blank slate, especially for what they had in store.” The look in his eyes leads me to figure out what he meant. I try to not gag. “While we didn’t want any of your memories to be erased, we're at least thankful that we found you before they came here.”

“When are they arriving on Earth?”

“A whole Earth day from when we escaped.”
