Tina Belcher's Erotic Friend Fiction Presents: TINA IN SPACE

One day, Tina suddenly awoke on a spaceship. It was a pretty cool spaceship, but she felt confused because her family was nowhere to be seen, and there wasn't a welcome video or something to explain what was going on. And yet, Tina was sure this wasn't a dream and

oh my God I can't keep writing like nothing is happening, is ANYONE reading this?????

Video

[And Tina decided to flip on the video function, as well, after fiddling around with her communicator a bit. However, as soon as she did, her old stage fright managed to take over, and all that came out of her mouth was a prolonged groaning noise.]

Uuuuuhhhhhhh...

Action

[After her broadcast, the first thing Tina did was tear apart the hospitality deck in search of her family. There weren't many places any of them could hide here, it seemed, but she kept looking, trying not to go into full-blown panic mode.]

Mom? Dad? Gene? Louise?! I'd even take Jimmy Jr. or Zeke or Mr. Fischoeder if you're around... but maybe not Jimmy Pesto... [It was a while before she calmed down, realizing that she was alone... for now. So she did the only other thing she could think of to do- went to the cafeteria to eat, try and decide her next move, and wait and see what sort of answers she'd be getting.]

Everyone I talk to is pretty sure of that, so I'll take their word for it!

Your brother and sister are gonna be fine.

I guess it's either believe that or panic until I get sent home, so I'm going to believe that it's true. Because I know my parents would be freaking out if I suddenly vanished, too.

It's okay, I promise. Even if we're supposed to be on this variety show thing, we'll get back to everyone we love sooner or later. So you'll be able to get back to them someday! And they might not even know you're gone, but you'd still get to have all the memories you make here, too.

So it's like a vacation, then? I guess I could live with that... though they might not believe it. [That got a little laugh out of her.]

A space vacation. Even if they might not believe it, it's still something you did.

Yeah... I just wish I could share it with them. Maybe they'll not be far behind me...

Maybe!!

Oh, maybe you could take pictures too? Maybe you could take those back! They'd be something you couldn't prove.

Yeah, that's a good idea. All I'd have to do is take a video out of the Marsiva's windows. I mean, back home we've barely begun to travel into space, or at least humans haven't been able to.

Seriously!? All the humans I knew at home had been traveling for years and years and most of 'em were born in space! And if you want, you can say you've met someone from a different planet. [She thumps her chest.] I'm from Windermere and I didn't know about humans until they got to my planet.

... you must be from the future, then. Like, far in the future. We've sent probes to Mars and Pluto and stuff, but no actual human beings yet.

Ehh... probably, time does work kinda weird from what I've been told. It's 2067 where I'm from!

... yeah, it was only 2015 when I left home. That's so weird, but it's kinda cool, too. Getting a glimpse into the future and all.

Whoaaaa... It is pretty cool, isn't it? I didn't even think time travel was possible until I met more people here!

I guess a lot of things we didn't think were possible are possible here. I think it'll be fun discovering them.

Mhm! And there's a whole universe out there! That's pretty exciting!

Yeah... I just wish my family was here to see it, too. They would love it.

They could still show up someday. I bet they will. This is the kind of thing everyone should get to experience.

[Even though she admittedly takes it for granted, since it's such an accessible thing for her... but obviously not for everyone else.]

I'd love it if my siblings showed up, at the very least. I feel like my sister would figure a way out of here inside of a week.

Is she really, really, really smart?

And she's good at making plans. ... and manipulating people. She's only 9 years old, but sometimes it feels like she's the older sibling.
