“Think anyone will find us?”

“Depends on how badly they want us back”
“Keep eating like that and that won’t matter soon”
“Funny. Last I check, you ate half our supplies for some bizarre reason.”
“Maybe if I eat enough of this stuff, I might be able to see in the dark.”
“Good thing I’m a CAST and can’t be eaten by you humans. You can try though.” The voice said coyly in the darkness.
Besides the sound of munching, everything was silent and dark. Away from a source of light, all that can be seen were the mint green glowing bits of the CAST companion. The transport ship drifted as graceful as the asteroids around it, one of them gently bouncing within the hull of the ship. The asteroids were not the cause of all the scratch and cracks now seen on the ship as it flew past a red moon and into the sunlight. Signs of a battle were now apparent as debris of darker and blue gray ship parts drifted about. At this moment, movement began to occur. Gold eyes appeared in the darkness.
“Heh, then don’t stick your finger in my mouth” the second voice said as rustling sounds began to be made.
“We are currently bypassing the moon. You may now continue to repair the ship. I’ll stay here to keep the food safe.” The CAST said in a fake sleepy tone as the doors behind her began to open.
Out into the light appeared a man with a ten gallon hat as brown as the cardboard boxes that flouted out with him. A chip hugged his white face as he scanned the room for a good place to start. Taking off the hat to scratch his dark teal hair, he then quickly looked back to the doors.
“Hey, did you know Lilliman can fit into my hat?” said he with a smirk on his face as the sound of a half attempted acknowledgment was made by the CAST inside.
Scratching the backside of a just as brown Lillipan, the man then proceeds to remove the fuzzy creature off of his head and onto the now much colder floor. As expected, the Lillipan woke with a startled jump that allowed it to cling onto the now laughing man’s leg. Cries of anger induced gibberish were produced by it, yet it seemed the man could understand it as he began to laugh even harder. Unamused, it let go and pulled out a small tool pouch. The goal was to get main power back up and the engines running. The exposed inner hull was the least of their concerns as they began to drift about the transport and around the bouncing asteroid.
“[Destroyer of tech isn’t coming out to help this time, Yoshi?]”
“You know what will happen to you if she hears that”
“[You would think that she would be the best person to send out here]”
“I…ugh…did!” He said as the man was pressed in the back by a passing rock while repairing the left thruster. With a quick sigh, he then looked to the Lillipan by the control panel. “Until she blew up the communication console trying to rig it into an emergency beacon. Don’t even get me started on the Campship.”
“[The mission I couldn’t be a part of? What happened?]”
“Let’s just say to never let her pilot the ship.”
“[Someone worse than you? I’m impressed!]” The fuzz ball said followed with a sinister chuckle. Closing the panel he then started to hop towards Yoshi to assist with the smaller parts. “[Power from the consoles and turret has been rerouted to the engines. That means no more food can be dispensed. So you better hope we get home soon.]”
With a serious face, Yoshi stared into the face of Lilliman and said “You make it sound like we can’t restore power to it.”
Some time passed before they started to get signs of life on the engine. Considering that they got it working to begin with made them proud of themselves. The two cheered as if they won several movie awards. Yoshi then dived back into the hull and towards the door to tell their CAST the news.
Bursting in, the man started to shack the CAST violently. “Mmmmmmm!” Was all she could respond with as he didn’t let up.
“Ijiraku, good news! We got the engines back online!”
The man then jumped into the wrapper filled captain’s chaired and started to power up the ship. The sound of power being activated ship began to fill the cockpit followed by the humming of a roughly repair thruster. The two began to do their usual takeoff procedures to ensure nothing happens during their attempt to fly home. Lilliman pushed the asteroid out of the ship and found the warmest spot to relax in. With a thumbs up and a wink form Ijiraku, Yoshi started to fly off into the celestial sunset.
“Let’s get out of here. However, I need to you to carefully distribute power into the engine. We haven’t tested how much it can…” An explosion was heard outside followed by the raging screams of the Lillipan. “Handle…”
“Oops” She said with a shrug as Yoshi began to facepalm.
