The Longest Journey

[DGFone]

Dan looked at Simba. "Looks like it," he said, looking at the lion "unless you have any objections." He then looked at Luna and Rev. "Which means that if Nala will be with Derk, the two of you will be together as well."

Rev looked at Luna. He at first thought that he might say that he wanted to be paired up with Derk, but it was only a half-hearted request at best, so he didn't voice it. "I don't mind going with Luna," he said in the end. As a Jaguar, if anything, he was used to doing everything alone. Being paired up with anyone was new for him.

Dan's eyes fell back to Simba. "So who do you want to go with then? Me or Derk?" It also depended on whether or not Nala would object to Derk's offer of being with her. Personally, Dan wanted the challenge of having Simba with him, and so he hoped that Simba wouldn't mind having Nala pair up with Derk.

Nala smiled, then looked to Derk and back to the large man on the screen. "I wouldn't mind being with him. Though, he does talk about this one thing he calls, 'Minecraft'. Is that a test we will be doing?" Staring wide-eyed at the humans in the room, she seriously had no clue what was going on. Humans and their technology, being in the Pridelands was much easier.

Looking to Rev, Luna raised an eyebrow. "Ready to work, Rev?" She winked, then turned to Nash. "I see no problem working with Rev, he's a great worker!" Eyeing him from the corner of her eye, raising the corner of her lips.

Nash nodded, then sat back in his chair talking to the members around him. With a nod, he looked back to the group. "Then I guess, Simba is with Dan?" Looking at the two. Simba, who seemed proud of himself and Dan, who was usually caught up in work. "We all see no problem with the groups?"

"It's settled then," Nash confirmed.

"Whoa, dude..." Derk exclaimed, his jaw dropping near the floor. "Did we really just come to a unanimous agreement, in a matter of seconds?" We may just make it to the moon, without needing the Lunar Survival Mod with Minecraft, he thought to himself. "I can hardly believe this!"

[DGFone]

Dan grinned at Derk. "Looks like it," he said, also not really believing that the agreement was reached in such a short time. He then looked at Simba, calculating. "So, Simba. Think you can handle working with me?" he asked, remembering how much trouble he had with the lion while inside the plane. If all goes well, they shouldn't have any more similar conflicting problems, if only because it will no longer be Simba answering to Dan, but both of them answering to someone else.

Rev looked at Luna, who was now officially his new partner. "Yeah, I'm ready to work," he replied, "the question is: when do we start?"

The answer came from Nash. "Now that you know who you're working with, the answer would be..." he looked at his watch in an extremely exaggerated motion, "right now."

About two months later

Dan and the others once again stood at attention just outside a large hangar, looking at the large airliner parked a ways off. Their training had already taught them to despise this plane, where they trained to work in reduced gravity. Affectionately called the "vomit comet", it was easy to see why all of them hated it. Even Luna, who was almost always smiling and carefree, was eyeing the plane is a cold distrust.

In front of them, Nash tried not to grin. Sure, he wasn't supposed to, but he still found the unanimous hate towards the Vomit Comet amusing. "Alright, guys, listen up. I know you all prefer the underwater buoyant training, but for today, we need to use the comet..." He waited for the groans to end before explaining the reason. "When you trained underwater, you all used basic mock-ups of the suits that you will be using. Today, you will be trying out the real deal." He grinned. "Once we get up, you will all have to suit up in the actual suits that you will be wearing in space. Right now, you will be using prototypes, but if all goes well, we won't have to change anything. Any questions?"

Luna groaned as she heard about the Comet, she had done it once before. That's when she parmesan why it was dubbed, the Vomit Comet. Her stomach turned and her face already seemed green, just the thought of it spinning and turning wanted to make her throw up. Looking at her companions, she saw the green tinted their face aswell.

Nala was still confused, what is that wierd contraption they were talking about. "Can you explain what exactly it does?" Tilting her head to the side and raising her eyebrows. The confused lioness looked to Simba. Was he confused aswell?
