drowning, everybody was very sympathetic.
“Captain, could we keep this robot? It had no place to go,” Antonio begged.
“Well, I guess we can’t send it away, could we?” Captain Baldwin asked.
Antonio was all smiles. He had taken a liking to B1287-AT. It was a cute robot resembling a kingpin. Antonio went up close to this robot.
"I will call you Beebo," Antonio told the alien robot secretly.
"Bee-bor, bee-bor," B1287-AT replied softly, as if it had understood.
“DATA, take us out of here,” Captain Baldwin ordered.
“Affirmative.”
Back in their sleeping quarters, Nikita and Melissa were talking about their dream idols.
"Did you see Chen Wei just now, the way he repaired the robot? It was wonderful," Nikita was full of admiration.
"Oh, that was a simple thing to do. Many guys in school could do it," Melissa argued.
"Did you see the way he wrote the compiler? It was brilliant," Nikita was mesmerised totally.
"Oh, I guess some guys in school could do it," Melissa argued.
"Some?" Nikita stared at her friend.
"Well, maybe one or two."
Nikita continued to stare at her friend.
"Ok, ok, he's the one and only guy who could do it," Melissa finally gave in.
"He's so good-looking, so sunshine," Nikita blushed terribly.
“Oh gosh! I find him just an average-looking guy,” Melissa teased her good friend.
“I’m not joking.”
"How shocking," Melissa teased further.
“He’s so tall and has flawless complexion,” Nikita went on to disclose her impression of her dream idol.
“You forgot to mention short spiky hair, dark eyebrows and intelligent eyes,” Melissa added.
“He has a dimple when he smile,” Nikita said with a smile on her face, relishing the image she had in her mind of her dream idol.
“He seldom smile. When did you see that tiny, little dimple?”
Both girls giggled helplessly.
“Who is your dream idol?” Nikita evaded her friend's question.
Now it was Melissa’s turn to blush, but Nikita could not see it as the former had dark complexion.
Tonight, Nikita was weaving another romantic dream. She dreamt that she was roaming the starry night sky with her Prince Charming. Each was riding on a unicorn. At the moment, she was far ahead of her Prince Charming. When she stopped and turned her head to look back, a shining knight in white uniform caught up with her. A most handsome guy was looking at her with dark, intelligent eyes. He smiled at her and a tiny dimple was evident at the corner of his mouth. It was Chen Wei! Nikita smiled at him sweetly and looked at him with dreamy eyes.
Chapter 5
BURGER123 drew close to a shimmering golden planet and hovered above it, staying out of its gravitational pull. Everyone was looking out of the window, admiring a brownish looking planet from the Pegasus star-system.
"DATA, tell us more about this planet which we are approaching," Mrs. Andersen said.
"Planet Fontasia is the third innermost planet from the Pegasus star. It has Earth-like atmospheric conditions. Gravity equals one point five G. Aquatic life-forms, non-existent. Civilisation is predominated by the supernatural. Inhabitants have achieved a remarkable mastery of magic, the level at which other civilisations could only dream of. Fontasians worship the Epsilon Phoenix, a sacred legendary bird that builds its own funeral pyre and is reborn from its own ashes. It had beautiful red and gold plumage and was believed to live for five hundred years or longer. Scientific study and development on this planet is comparatively primitive."
"Mmmm.., supernatural predominance, interesting," Mrs. Andersen remarked.
"I am getting a signal," DATA reported.
"Greetings from Fontasia. This is Zorak, supreme military commander. We will be holding a Robot Competition soon, for the mission of advancing scientific research. We extend an invitation to you and wish for your participation in this competition."
Mrs. Andersen pondered for a moment and called the Captain. She pressed a button on her
