(4 pm, a boy is lying on a bed in a room of four people. This was an orphanage in a poor part of the city. His name is Luka.)

Luka : (sighs) Life here is hard, why was I ever born in such a life. I wish I could start all over in a new world but I guess wishes like that don't come true. I'll be leaving here in a year huh?! I'm gonna miss their problematic attitude.

(Luka goes out to fetch water to bath in, then suddenly a green light split the sky and lands in the woods nearby. Luka decided to check it out and as he approached he saw a box emitting light.)

Luka: What is this?? (Touches it) (the ground begins to rumble) waah!!! Someone help.

(suddenly a crack was formed in the air and swallowed him whole along with the box)

................................................................

(Crash)

Luka: (scratches his head) Oww, (looks around). Where am I???

???: I should be asking who u re??

Luka: uhh! (Luka had landed on a girl in a strange room) (moves away from her) I am so sorry!!

???: You know you are pretty cute for an alien male.

Luka: uh? Excuse me. Am not an alien!

???: Sorry for the late intro, I am princess Meraxe of the planet Zeth. Welcome to our world, alien.

Luka: Are we acting a movie cause it's not funny? You are a human right so why are saying all this!

Meraxe: This isn't my true form. Anyway, you're human uh? You guys are pretty rare to fall into a worm crack. (Moves closer) I didn't know passive creatures can be this cute. (Touches his face)(shifts her face closer)...

Luka: (gently pushes her aside) hey, don't go touching me when you haven't properly explained all this. (Opens the window) (his eyes widen as he couldn't believe his eyes)

(The place was colorful with huge skyscrapers in a particular area and parks and strange coloured trees in another area. He saw mini-cars flying with no tyres, creatures of great diversities, the skies was different, and he faintly spotted 3 moons across the clouds)

Luka: This isn't Earth at all!!!

Luka: This isn't Earth at all!!!

( In the royal dining room, this room is way more scifi than you think. Floating & self adjusting seats and tables, a portal at the rear corner, lined neo lights everywhere and of course strange alien writings and symbols)

??? Woman: I heard that she finally got a symbioth alien, is this true Merquin?? (A cold stare in her eyes)

Ms Merquin:y-yes ma'am!! An earthling from "H42, sector B-solaris" to be precise my Queen.

Queen Verhailes: Solaris huh? They are the weak beings who refused to join the galaxy grid.How unlucky of my daughter!

(The sounds of footsteps made the room quiet)

Meraxe: (In an elegant dress) Good day mother. (Takes her seat)

Queen Verhailes:Welcome dear. I heard the news, but why did you accept a Solaris symbioth of all the beings you had come across??

Meraxe: Don't worry mother, I wish for the Solaris to be my symbioth. I'm more comfortable that way.

Queen Verhailes:(increase her voice) So you chose a weakling!!

(Meraxe stared without fear)

I'll give you a chance to do what you want but if you fail, I decide what you doing.

Meraxe: I'll show you mother that even the weak can contribute and become a high tier.

Mrs Merquin: (flies into the room with food covered on a tray)(nervously) Enough of the mother- daughter chatter, anger can't cure hunger am I right??

……… (No one moved or responded)

(Thinks: Yeesh..tough crowd)

…………………………………………………………………………

(In Meraxe room)

Meraxe: (on her bed)Soo, do you accept??

Luka: (sitting on a fluffy blanket on the floor) you mean I should be your sy-ymb.. whatever the word is, For two years until you graduate as a high tier and then get the authority to send me back to my solar sector!!

Meraxe: Exactly, it's a win-win. I didn't think you would understand.

Luka: I do but …. (Shouts) WTF, twoo years!!!!!! I'm gonna be declared dead by that time and I left behind some idiots who can't take care of themselves.

Meraxe: You mean your family?

Luka: My family died years ago.

Meraxe: oh…… well not my problem!

Luka: Has anyone told you that you're an emotionless zombie? Cause that's what you are right now!!

Meraxe: I let you filthy Solaris become my- a princess's symbioth and give you a chance home and this is how you talk to me.(points her finger at him)

Luka: Try being nice…… I'm pretty sure you have no boyfriend with that attitude. (Shrugs with a smile)

Meraxe: Uhh, (sarcastic) I'm sure you've had lots of girlfriends with that pretty face. (Smirks)

Luka: (looks away) To be honest, you're the only cute girl I've come across so you should know that I don't meet girls often.

Meraxe: yea..h, (thinks: wait only cute girl, he thinks I'm cute) (blush)

Luka: wa-wah I mean you're the only girl who looks better not that I meant it in that way………Meraxe….Merr? (Snaps his fingers)

Meraxe: sorry about that! I was just thinking about something. Wait, Merr?!

Luka: Ah oops, I meant Meraxe.

Meraxe: (puts her hands on the floor with her remaining body on the floating bed and moves close to luka)

I like it, please call me Merr! (Smile)

Luka: er…..o-ok (blush)

……

Mrs Merquin: (silently watching them) Aaah, young love. Queen is gonna kill them if she finds out!

Hidden facts : Did you know that some of the people of Zeth speak over 2 million languages of the universe cos their brain is an advanced format of ours and they have been to almost every corner of the their universe.!!!!
