vegeTales - The Mediterranean's Mystery Unraveled

One night, I was sitting in my room with a cup of hot chocolate.

"Life is so boring," I thought to myself. "I wonder if there's anything fun to do." As I turned to look out the window, I saw something odd in the sky. It looked like a meteorite, but it was heading straight towards me!

"Noooo!" I screamed as the massive ball of fire crashed into my house, sending wood and bricks flying everywhere. "My house!" I cried, trying to run away from the wreckage. But right before I made it out of the house, something slammed into my back, knocking me unconscious.

When I woke up, I found myself in an unfamiliar place that seemed to be some kind of spaceship. In fact...

"Am I on Jupiter?!" I exclaimed in shock. "Or maybe Neptune?! No, wait... this spaceship doesn't seem big enough for either one of those planets."

Suddenly, the door slid open and someone walked in. He (she?) was wearing a blue jumpsuit with the name 'Mars' on it. He had blonde hair and bright green eyes and seemed like he was about nineteen or twenty years old.

"Hey... are you alright?" he asked me as he pulled out a small device and scanned my forehead with it. "Huh... your brain is functioning normally," he said as he put away his scanner and helped me up off the floor. "You just fainted."

"Where am I?" I asked him as we walked out of the room together. The hallway down which we walked reminded me of some kind of hospital or laboratory setting. "And who are you?"

"I'm Mars," he answered as we reached a large room filled with people all dressed in blue jumpsuits similar to his own. "And this is Inner Planet Space Station Two-Five-Seven-Four." He gestured around at everyone else around us and explained further: "We're from Earth. The planet Earth."

I looked around at everyone else in confusion and asked Mars: "This is Earth? You're sure?"

Before he could respond, someone walked up to us both and tapped Mars on the shoulder. "Hey Mars," she said, looking at me curiously. She had brown hair and brown eyes and her jumpsuit said 'Venus' on it instead of 'Mars.' She seemed a little bit older than Mars did; like maybe thirty or thirty-five years old instead of twenty-nine or thirty years old like he did. "Who's your new friend?" she asked him curiously after noticing that she'd never seen me before before that moment.

"She fell out of the sky right into my hands," Mars explained to her after a moment's hesitation. "She says she's from Earth too." As Venus stared at him blankly, he turned to look at me directly and asked: "Are you sure? There aren't any other humans living on Earth besides us."

I glared back at him angrily and said: "Of course not! Where do you think I live? On Jupiter?" Then without waiting for an answer from either one of them, I turned around and walked away down another hallway by myself as quickly as possible without actually running away from them altogether just yet... Just because they were from Earth didn't mean that they were nice people!! For all I knew, they could have been evil aliens who'd abducted all the real humans from Earth! Or worse yet... they might have been working for Vegeta! After all... where else would a bunch of Venusians be able to get their hands on such advanced technology?! Unless they had superpowers too?! And what was with that fireball that crashed into my house?! Was it some sort of alien attack?!
