Pluto sat and watched as Lance swung open the back door of the hummer and hopped out. Frightened, she stayed rooted in the spot as she watched the marine stand fearlessly, his stance and figure oozing command, as the alien life forms trooped off their transport.
One of the aliens, seemingly the leader of the group, pulled forward and raised his hand. Then, as if on cue, the rest of the alien group lowered their weapons. Pluto felt this as some kind of gesture for peace and found her body loosen as the tension dissipated from her body. Slowly, she slid across the futon and out of the back of the hummer, making timid small steps before stopping just behind Lance.
She didn't realise how tall the marine was until she stood next to him. Pluto was never one of the short girls in school but she was neither the tallest. However, when she stood next to Lance at that moment, she suddenly felt a lot of empathy for the shorter kids in her class. How small they must've felt... If Pluto were to estimate, she would say that she stood only up to his armpits.
Gradually, the hybrid android girl peeped out from behind Lance's arm and observed the alien leader. "What are you doing to do?" She asked Lance in a frightened whisper.
