Wanna Fly?..........................

SPECIAL BULLETIN... This just in from NASA head quarters, 2:42 am this morning a large mass was spotted in the way of Earth's orbit....This mass identified as an asteroid is approximately the size of Texas and is guessed to be only a fragment of debris from a massive solar explosion....The asteroid is headed straight toward Earth managing a constant unstoppable speed and is predicted to collide with Earth in approximately 10 days . At this time the operations being conducted by NASA to control the situation are unknown, we will keep you posted .....

Here it comes...the moment the world has been waiting for since the beginning of time. The beginning of the end. As your heart pounds and the countdown to the end of the world starts, you wonder... is there really a god? You're too scared to cry... too terrified to die.

Woman in the corner prays with tears of fear streaking her face, a minister stands before his last congregation preaching to have faith though his own is long gone, and a little boy asks his mommy why she cries.

And you, you know there is no end to it all. All around you are fearful faces, all around you the greatest civilization ever trembles 'fore it is to fall. The trembling tv anchor on a small color tv screen announces, " the president has gone into hiding in hopes of saving his life", one out of millions. How will the people over come if their leader is just a scared?

Yet in the center of it all there is only one, you. You know the world is over, but no one ever said it was over for you. Looking up into the eerie purple sky, you see it. Your eyes shine from the reflection of the firey mass above. And then your eyes dart to an object across from it. One you had never imagined before... no it is no bird, or plane, its incredible. As it gets closer speeding faster than the asteroid that is to become armageddeon you recognize it as a space ship. Not Russian or American, it's exactly what you think it is, from out of this world. Faster and faster a blur in the sky -- suddenly it jets down and comes to a perfect landing in the wide grassy plain.

You look around, everyone screaming crying for mercy, only you notice it and with curiousity and a sudden urge, burst through the hesterical crowd. No one budges, standing completely still, simply staring, as if staying stationary will keep them from not missing a moment of what is left of their lives. And finally you burst through the mob, and there it is...

The ship is a metallic baby blue and it glows so that your eyes can't move from it. A purple transparent sheild around it keeps it suspended from what will soon be the remains of earth. Yet now your mind its only set on your finding. And still only you see it.

And suddenly as you step through the purple sheild a large gate way from the ship opens and you are blinded by intense white light. It stings your eyes and you try to look away but you eyes are unmoving and images begin to move in front of them. Little colored dots, first only a few and then thousands. And suddenly it all makes sense. The dots form a picture, the picture of your life, of what is soon to be your last life.

In only nano-seconds you relive every moment of you life. Every tear, every smile, every feeling, up to this moment, and then it is now. The light has dimmed and now a pink tinted fog floats out of the opening of the ship. It encircles you, the fog is cool against your skin and calms you. Filling your mouth and nostrils the fog seems to take you over.

But now your eyes are still focused on the ships opening. And in the fog figures move, black against the pink fog you can not tell who or what they are. Yet now the figures come sightly clearer as you begin to see throught the fog that surrounds you, 5 figures. They step forward out of the fog and now you can see them perfectly.

5 young men, each with a strickingly familiar presence to them. One with spiked blond hair and green eyes, one with curly blond hair and blue eyes. Three brunettes, one tall one with brown eyes, a shorter one with brown eyes as well, and the last with cerculean blue eyes.

Each wears a baby blue and silver space suit, each styled completely different, not the type of crew you imagine to meet stepping off a space ship. Each are silent and they all analyze you like they know you inside and out, yet strangely that comforts you. And suddenly the blue eyed brunette looks you straight in the eye and smirks,

"You ever ride with a cowboy?"

The other 4 nod and strangely in synch smile saying,

"How 'bout 5?"

You glance back around you, outside the purple sheild, the people still pray, the children still scream as the the end comes closer. Then your eyes flash back at the 5.

The curly blond twists his pouty lips into a sly smile and asks,

"So... You wanna fly?"
