Deciding to ignore the cat, Chel held out the robe that had been folded over her arm. Lexx gave her an odd look, unsure of what she was going to do next. “Here, put this on.” Chel offered the robe to him, hoping he’d take it as a good will gesture. “It’s my father’s, but [...]
She bit. “I didn’t mean to offend you!” That was easy. Lexx looked away. He didn’t want to be apologized to nor see her expression. “Too late.” He stated flatly. Chel rolled her eyes, motioning to the main hall. She wasn’t going to argue with him. Maybe she should change her mind and just stay [...]
Chel swung the refrigerator door open a little harder than she intended. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zeta just barely avoid getting smacked by it. “Zeta go wait on Lexx!” The creature huffed slightly and darted back to the living room, while Stealth took advantage of the open door to jump [...]
Lexx took his time. Chel had already finished breakfast as had Stealth. She sat staring at the clock. 4 a.m. It was early, way too early to be thinking. Here she was, about to go off with an alien that had broken into her house and tried to steal her cat,… which he’d transformed into [...]
Lexx finished the oatmeal and leaned back to savor the milk, while Chel poured more in a bowl for Zeta. “That’s all there is.” Chel tossed the empty carton into the trash. That milk went quick. She’d just bought it the previous morning. She noted Lexx looking at her as though he were about to [...]
Half an hour later, Lexx was back in his clothes and Chel had changed into a green shirt and black jeans. Lexx was kind of baffled at her choice of clothing. No coat. Everyone wore a coat, it was the style to wear a long coat. Why wasn’t she wearing a coat? Stupid humans, can’t [...]
Swallowing her fear, Chel reached out with one hand to grab onto Lexx’s sash and walk into the light. Lexx emerged from the transporter onto his ship without a problem, the girl immediately behind him. It was just like walking through a door, although the other side wasn’t nearly as big as the kitchen they’d [...]
*Edit from a decade later* Looking back, I would’ve written all of this differently if I wrote it today… mostly because I know a lot more now and there are lots of silly things here, but it’s still a good story and people still tell me how much they love it. Next time… there will [...]
“Now that you scanned her, why do you still need her?” Chel inquired curiously. “The system keeps track of them. They all have be on the ship before I can look for the next dice. If one is missing… I have to find it.” Lexx explained, finding it much easier to talk about the dice [...]
“Zeta not invited!” Zeta growled, glaring at the sphere. His tone was laced with jealousy. “You’d drown, Zeta.” Stealth rolled her eyes. “Lexx can breathe underwater. Seen him do it for hours! We can’t!” Apparently, those facts meant very little to Zeta as he whined, “Zeta think not right anyway! We ‘posed to fight other [...]
