New Beginings
Chapter 2: Going places
The tone for the rest of my life seems to be set and set up now, and I have decided to become one with the chakat and relearn the ways of person-hood really means. A week later, I asked my parents of moving out and seeing space and a few friends are also offering me a job that pays exceptionally well.
They nodded and agreed to my decision, and so I started packing up. Allen showed me some money saving deals for tickets to Chakona. That honestly was a big plus and helped the two of us out well. I have made my goodbyes to all of my parents, including my mother, father, brothers and sisters but I will still maintain contact with them.
Once I stepped into the car and Allen and his friends drove me to a spaceport nearby, I saw my old home slowly shrink into view on the rear view mirror and realized this was the last time they will ever see me.

Fifteen minutes on the highway later, Allen brought something up,
“Avo btw, I have some good news. There are several jobs being offered by Star Corps for you to carry on your photographic work.”
Then I responded,
“That’s quite lovely to hear. As much as I want to leave though, I have some classes I needed to finish on Earth.”
Then Allen mentioned,
“But you do not have to, you can request a transfer to Chakona’s Declaw University. You can also transfer your credits for your flight training to Chakona and perhaps even use it to get into the academy and become a helmsman or shuttle pilot, which I heard are being offered by the corps.”
“I sure am going places now, aren’t I?”
I said to myself. Then one of the passengers interjected me who happened to be Chakat called Rosetail. Shi was recently picked up to join the rest of the trio. Shi happens to be a tiger striped chakat with a white coat of fur with green stripes and a tail colored in red with a pink tip.
Shi also happened to be a friend of mine since I was 11 yrs. old. Shi said reassuringly, “Trust me hun, life is going to be a high flying, roller coaster for all of us. You’ll be having places come towards you aboard the star vessel we are taking together!”
After another fifteen minutes come by, we finally arrived at the Los Angeles lax and boarded for a flight to the Earth Gateway Station.
As I stepped out of the car in the parking lot, all of us took our packages and headed for the terminal and security screening. I placed my baggage into the screening device and one of the agents asked me,
“Going somewhere?”
“Yes, I am leaving my home in search for another.”
I replied.
“Very well then, wish to you and your friends safe travels.”
The agent gave farewell and we pressed onward to the terminal.
“I’ve noticed they have made the whole spaceport facility a bit more secure, haven’t they?”
I asked. “Well, due to the recent threats and attacks from those dreaded human first goons, I suppose they did so as part of their old tricks.” Said Rosetail “I would think the same as well.” Allen responded.
One of the gate agents then notified it’s passengers it’s ready for boarding, we went into the gate and boarded the SSTO spacecraft. We were then greeted by some of its crewmembers who were mostly morphs and a few chakats.
“Welcome aboard our spacious shuttle craft, we hope you will find it a comfortable, safe and fun journey.”
Said one of the crew. We buckled up shortly. As our shuttle doors closed and left the gate and taxied towards the runway, I took a last look of LAX before takeoff and snapped a photo.
Once we started to takeoff, I felt the engines rumbling and being pushed against the seat, watching as the craft gathered speed and suddenly into the air, gaining altitude. A couple minutes later, the scramjets activate once at high altitude and high speed. Soon after, my first journey into space has begun and will be first of my many adventures into the stars.
