The Adventures of Bethany Starglider
Part Two - The Xithor
After all the excitement with the Reptilians in Martian customs and then meeting all her old friends Bethany had gone to her cabin for several hours sleep. By the time she had woken up Sarha had flown the ship far out of the solar system and into deep space, traversing light years with each wormhole that the ship opened.
Bethany walked into the main cabin where Sarha was preparing the ship for it's next Wormhole jump whilst she chatted to Emily. Sarha had changed since Mars into what Bethany thought was a somewhat ugly combination of Sarissan Leopold Skin mini-skirt and Bikini with Larkian Crocodile Skin boots. Whilst Emily still wore the incredible tight grey shipsuit, which while it showed off her amazing arse perfectly, Bethany thought it, could show off a little more flesh.
"I've got to say intergalactic space travel is more boring than I thought. Now the solar system was exciting, really exciting but this is dull." Bethany said as she approached the other two girls.
"That's right honey. Being a space pirate..." Answered Sarha.
"Or top-class cruiser pilot." Chipped in Emily.
"May sound very exciting but most of the time you just sit around waiting for the ship to jump. Deep space is boring, it's only when you meet other ships or get to planets that the exciting stuff happens."
"Well when does any that stuff happen to us?" Bethany pleaded, a bit disappointed that after all the initial excitement nothing much else might happen until they got to Pleasarous IV.
"Well due to my, err..Less than popular status on most civilised worlds in the galaxy I was hoping to avoid any stops on the way." Sarha said looking a little bit embarrassed.
"You're going to have to tell us exactly what you've been up to Sarha!" giggled Emily.
"Well it's quite a long story but a few months ago did you hear about the Princess of Harla eloping with some lover of her's rather than marrying her second cousin in a political arrangement."
"Yeah, so what?" Answered Bethany, she and Emily were now quite concerned at where this tale was going.
"Well that lover wasn't some palace guard like everyone speculated. It was me." Bethany and Emily gasped at the revelation.
"My God Sarha! You naughty girl!" Said Emily.
"Maybe a bit naughty but I don't think it deserves having a million credit bounty put on your head, does it?"
Bethany was suddenly feeling a bit jealous; Sarha would risk upsetting one of the most powerful planets in the galaxy for a fuck with some royal slut. "What was this princess like?" She asked trying not to let the jealousy show.
Emily spoke up before Sarha could answer "You've never seen the reports from Harla? The princess and at one time heir to the throne is considered one of the most beautiful women to ever live. Guys were committing suicide around the galaxy when she vanished. Hee hee, apparently into the arms of our dirty little friend here."
"Most beautiful woman ever eh? Well where is she now Sarha? Waiting somewhere for you to come home?" Bethany nearly shouted, getting quite upset now.
"Calm down honey, we had a few arguments and she left. She may be hot but she's also a bitch." Sarha said, looking a bit guilty.
"Yeah don't get worked up Beth. Can't you be happy for Sarha? You're not her mother?" Emily said, rather bemused by Bethany's reaction. Still, she thought, she's always been a bit stuffy so maybe the thought of Sarha being a lesbian had shocked her.
"Sorry." Bethany mumbled as she turned around to look out the ship window into the black expanse of space.
"Let's just forget it. The ship's ready for the next jump anyway." Sarha said as she turned away from Bethany to pointedly look at the console.
Emily couldn't understand what was going on with these two. So Bethany didn't like her friend being a lesbian but it was hardly a new revelation and Emily had thought Bethany's new PVC wardrobe had indicated a less old fashioned attitude as well.
Suddenly Bethany spoke up "What's that over there?" pointing at a small grey dot in the far distance.
Emily turned to look at it "Looks like another ship to me, bit too though quite far away. Scanners say it's dead in space must be a wreck."
"Can we check it out?" Bethany asked excited again.
"I don't see why not, someone could go over in the shuttle." Said Sarha; happy to see Bethany had got over the Princess. She made a mental note not to mention any previous fucks to Bethany; she was obviously the jealous type and if she found out about the thousands of girls before might not take it too well.
"I'll take you over if you want, exploring a wreck might be fun." Emily offered and the others quickly agreed.
