8 o clock rolled around. Kmound the pilot came on the intercom and explained what to expect. First, he instructed the passengers to buckle up, he went on to explain that the craft would rise vertically to 40,000 ft and at 40,000 ft he would engage the photon engines. The aircraft had the ability to reach the moon within an hour. The pilot said they were going to take the scenic route. That takes about 4 hours so the tourists could enjoy the outer space trip. 8:10am the craft took off vertically within seconds the ship was at 40,000 ft. The photon engines were engaged, the craft would cruise at a speed of 57000 miles per hour reaching the moon in 4 hours. Marcia and Rodney spent the next four weeks on the moon doing experiments and research in their respective disciplines

and having a lot of fun. There was so much to do, there were 24 hours Round the Clock activities and little sleep of course. Like any other young lady her age she wanted to go shopping, and whatever Marcia wanted to do Rodney was more than willing to accommodate her. The two found themselves in a small boutique that sold souvenirs, made from precious metals mined on the moon. While in the shop the two discovered something else they had

in common: the love for Syfy and dragon mythology. Rodney bought Marcia a titanium Dragon necklace with two diamond eyes that were mined on the moon. He did not actually buy it because everything was on the house compliments of Arthur Jabberson, and likewise Marcia gifted Rodney a platinum and gold diamond dragon claw pendant with a gold chain necklace the two vowed that they would never take them off; those were some pretty strong vows as the two faced each other Rodney leaned in and spontaneously gave Marcia a really beautiful kiss on the lips and she welcomed it Marcia replied not too many girls can say that their first kiss was on the moon. These were strong vows for a couple of 15-year-old. just like that the four weeks were over and they were on their way back home. Marcia decided to go to work full-time for Jabberson in the research and physics department. She was given a 3-billion-dollar Grant for research in plasma and particle physics. She had just turned sixteen and Rodney was the first high school football player with a PhD in mechanical engineering. By the end of his high school eligibility, he was 6-foot 1 200 lb. and the number one recruit in the country, while still working on his radio wave propulsion system. He returned to Axum where he had 4 years of eligibility to play football. Rodney spent the next three years dominating the college football world. He was now twenty and had been voted the best college football player two in a row as a sophomore and now as a junior. Axum won two college titles with Rodney at running back. The professional league was knocking hard, this gave the young man a lot to think about. So, Marcia and Rodney went camping for the weekend to the Mountains in the northern county, to discuss his future. The two arrived and set up camp. The couple loved being outdoors in nature. Their camp was about two hundred yards from the most beautiful lake you have ever seen. after about three hours of getting set up and just relaxing from the hike up the mountain. Marcia’s phone emergency alert goes off frantically warning of a huge fire on the mountain is Breaks Out near where they are camping the two only minutes to react after receiving the alert. Before they could gather all their things, they were surrounded by a wall of flame at least 60 ft High and about a hundred yards away or the length of a football field. Ironically neither Rodney nor Marcia panic. Marcia immediately went to her tablet and pulled up a map of their location and an aerial view of the topography. They were going to have to hike out of the forest because all roads were blocked by the fire so the two headed out on foot towards the black glass Lake. Marcia informs Rodney it will be about a 2 hour and a half hike through the forest, and they would be lucky if they make it. About 45 minutes into the hike the Flames got closer Marcia started to complain about the smoke and became semi unconscious about then something started happening to Rodney. He could no longer feel the heat from the flames and when he investigated the wall of flame there was a passageway, a tunnel, a clear pathway with flames all around it but they were not touching or affecting him in any way. The young man picked up the 5,10″ 140 pounds young lady and threw her over his shoulder and started sprinting down the fire free clearance. Rodney was moving through the inferno as though he was part of the fire itself, running at a speed that was humanly impossible. After about 45 minutes of navigating mountainous terrain, he made it through the blaze with Marcia on his back without a scratch on either him or Marcia and Rodney were not breathing hard at all. He splashed some water on Marcia’s face and she started to come around, she was stammering and stuttering asking what happened. She wanted to know how they got through the blaze. Rodney simply could not explain to her what had just happened all he could say was I do not know he insisted that Marcy calm down and just relax first he said let us figure out how to get out of here from this point and get some help. Both of their phones had been damaged from the intense heat of the fire so there was no way for them to contact anyone for help. they were going to have to hike out of the Woods. Along the way Marcia kept asking how did we get through that blaze, how? Rodney did his best to explain to her what happened. The fire just separated and made a pathway, an opening through the fire was like running through a tunnel Marcia. replied that is impossible he looked at her and said but we are here. with the sun going down and no flashlight it was completely dark but for some unexplainable reason Rodney could see his way through the dark. After about two hours of hiking through the woods the couple merged onto the local Highway. The two were looking like they had just run through a fire dirty tattered and exhausted the flag down a State Trooper the officer pulled over. The trooper started to inquire about the young couple’s safety. He wanted to know how they made it to the other side of the lake. it would have been impossible because everything was destroyed, the trooper stated. Rodney simply told the trooper they were extremely lucky and really fast the officer took the couple to the local hospital where they could be checked out and examined. They knew their families would be worried because they were aware that they were camping in that area and the news reports were saying everything in that area was destroyed. The two contacted their families immediately upon arriving at the hospital. They let their families know they were perfectly fine, and they would be home as soon as possible Marcia immediately got on the phone and called Arthur to let him not their predicament within 30 minutes of Their

conversation there was a black luxury van with tinted window waiting on the to take them to a hotel where they could shower change and prepare for their trip back to the city Marcia had real influence with Arthur Jabberson. She was one of his top research scientists or should I say the top research scientist. After being thoroughly examined the couple was discharged with a clean bill of health. The two prepare for their trip back to the city.
