Chapter 10:

Home Planet

The Stars in a New World


               Time goes by as Ursula sits next to me in bed. I think to myself, 'why am I sleeping with her?!?' My mind frantic about the situation I've been put in. I look over to Ursula and see that she is sound asleep in the fetal position. I relax knowing that she feels more comfortable. I start to think about all of the things that I've taught her over the past few weeks since she joined me to learn about this worlds' universe. I wonder if my mom is out there somewhere? Waiting to see me again. Would the god of this world allow me to go back to my world if this is the same universe? Am I even in the same galaxy? I keep pondering to myself these questions over and over again. I really do miss my mom. 

               The next day comes and Ursula is still sleeping on my bed. The sun has risen and I notice that today there seems to be a mix of storm clouds in the distance. The breeze from the storm filled the air with a slight chill. The way the scenery looked reminded me of what spring looked like on Earth. 'I still need to name this planet I'm on though' I mumble quietly.

               "Why don't you name it Home?" A tired voice called out startling me half to death. I turn towards my bed and it was my sister who had woken up. "Call this planet Home." She spoke again.

               "Why Home?" I asked her.

               "Because this is where home is, isn't it? We live on our Home planet" She said.

               "Home isn't the best name for it. I don't know what to call it." I said trying not to sound too judgmental about her idea.

               "Well I'll call it home." She said defiantly. I'm beginning to realize this isn't up for debate.

               "Thus now this new planet I'm on will be called Home." I said in an announcement like tone. Ursula giggles as she kissed my cheek as she hugged me.

                   "You're the best Teddy." She smiled
