Editing Story:ROAD TRIP! (Warhammer High)/Part Five (section)

===Better Luck Next Time===


The four teens made their way down to the cargo bay, to find Isaac and a few of the other Salamander serfs awaiting them in their green and gold day uniforms.  “Your Ladyship Venus, it was wonderful to see you again,” he was saying as the others arrived.  “If I ever get reassigned to Terra, I will make a point of seeing if you’ve kept up your routine while you were off learning,” he said slyly.

Venus chuckled.  “Sure you will.”  The others walked up as the last cargo box was loaded aboard.  “All right, everybody here?” she asked.

“Yep, we’re ready to go,” Remilia said, finishing her drink.  “How long is the flight?”

“Mars is right next to Terra right now, in its orbit, so basically no time at all.  An hour, max,” Venus said.

“Great!  Where do we put down and what’s the local time?” Alex asked.

“The Palace, actually, Grandpa must have pulled a string,” Venus said.  “And it’ll be about 0800.”

“Bleh, it’s shipboard 1600.  This’ll be a long day,” Remilia said.

“It’ll just help with sleeping tonight,” Venus said.  “Take a few days to get back on planetary time zones.”

Isaac inclined his head as the pilot powered up the rear engines.  “Princess, pass along my well-wishes to Queen Misja, would you?”

“Happily,” Venus said.  “Goodbye, Isaac.  Benevas Vitam Corod,” she said in Nocturnean.

“Benevas,” Isaac said, stepping back.  Venus shook his hand and bowed her head as the other serfs stepped back.
