The Final Edition

Hello Sir,
show me
your ticket,
please

Great, come
with me. The
journey will
start in a few
moments

This is an one-way ticket.

Are you sure you wanna
continue with us? Once
we start the engine,
there will be no comingback. No way home.
Forever.

Perfect.

One last chance.

Are you sure
you don't
wanna go back
to Earth? I'm
about to press
the button.

Hmm... Okay
So...

START

asdfjlads;fjslaldsf;sd

Speed = ~10 light years per second
and still accelerating

Hang on, we're almost there...

How far?
Just around a few millions light years
away

We're now at the distance of 1,230,234,259 light years from

our home - Earth... Can't believe we reach this far.
Oh gosh, I miss my family...
Shame on you, I asked you twice and you said you
wanted to go whatsoever. So yeah, here we are. Deep space. No
nothing. Just 2 of us. And we of course don't have enough fuel
to come back so don't even think of that

Shut up. I don't wanna hear anything ~.~

Okay. ~.~

zzz
...

zzzzzzz

zzzzz...

Why it's been so freaking long now? Hold on, how do you know for
sure that that place actually exists?
Hmm... I'm pretty sure it exists. Because... Because I once dreamed
about it.

HOLY SHIT. PLEASE TELL ME THAT"S A JOKE. RIGHT?

No it's not, I actually dreamed about it and it was so clear in my
mind even now it still is.
Haha, man. It's not funny at all. YOU have to stop joking right
now and I'm very very serious.
Do you see me ever joking about this?

Holy fuck...
Yes, but trust me, I'm pretty sure it is just somewhere in deep
space. Maybe not too far from here. So chill out..
#$%#$KSFJJ@#$@JSM KSDFAFK@#$
Hey WAKE UP!!!

Hey, fucking wake up, LOOK OUTSIDE

Oh no, wtf is that?
This is it...
This is it?

This is it.

Hold tight, we are landing...

THIS IS YOU

Welcome to
the world of

---Almost all subjects in schools must be replaced with video games
since there is enough evidence to infer that video games do a better
job at strengthening various brain muscles, improving memory and
developing problem solving skill. Subjects like math, literature, or
chemistry appear to fail to address those issues as they focus more
on hard or raw knowledge and memorization. In fact, students are
more likely to learn vocabulary more deeply through games than
books thanks to memory reinforcement. bla bla bla

and I'm like "I don't know, whatever"
B: Seriously? He's totally awesome. NO wayyyy.
A: Oh, Come on, he's way arrogant. Besides, he's a bully don't you
know that? I mean like he was but whatever, I'm not gonna give him
my digits whatsoever.
B: Oh my god. You're literally insane, like if I were you, I should be
the one who goes after him. Cause it's like he has six packs, six feets

A: Duh, like I'm not sure. He's like too forward and like I'm not
finished he was totally annoying as well like slapping my butt.
Whatever, i don't care but like at least come on Rebecca shouldn't
