It was the end. They were trapped inside the spaceship’s engine with no way out. When it powered up, everything inside would be atomized. “Johnny,” Tricia said, bringing her lips so close to his that he could smell her sweet breath. “Now that we’re going to die, I just have to tell you… I fell in love with you the moment we met. I hope yo-” John interrupted her with a passionate kiss. Tricia melted into him, pulling him tighter. “Oh Johnny! I’ve waited so long.” she exclaimed, grinding her body into his. “We worked together for years. You were always just out of reach. You mean you’ve been hiding it all this time, and now…?” “That’s right, but don’t waste what little time we have left. Take me Johnny!” A buzzing noise as the wall next to them was cut open by a laser. “Good thing we found you before we started the engine,” Chester said on the other side. Tricia stepped away from John, smoothing her uniform. “This never happened,” she whispered. She climbed through the opening, and was gone.
