《Just Friends》PROLOGUE

"What the hell?"
Jade raised her head, the cacophony of the ringing cell phone bringing her out of her immense concentration.
When Jade Tucker was in her writing mode there were very few people who dared to disturb her. Normally, as a rule she never picked up the cell phone while she was in the middle of a story. Not even if it was the president calling. But the caller id indicated that the call was from Mrs Carter, the mother of her best friend.
Jade pushed herself away from the table where she had been busy clicking at her keyboard and picked up the cell phone which was ringing shrilly on her bed.
"Hello, Jade is that you?" Mrs Carter's voice was still had the sweet edge to it that Jade remembered.
"Hi, Mrs Carter! How are you?"
It had been ages since Jade had last met Mrs Carter. 3 years atleast. Julia's wedding was the last time they had met.
What with Mrs Carter alternating between her house in the suburbs and Julia's house in the city, and with all the writing Jade had been doing it had become quite impossible for them to find time to meet each other.
And the main person holding them together was also missing.
"I'm great, Jade. It's been too long since we last met." Mrs Carter said.
"What with you being such a busy body, always on the go!"
Mrs Carter laughed, "You have been quite busy yourself Miss Jade Tucker. 4 novels in 3 years is a big achievement I believe. Mind you I read all of them."
It didn't matter if any other people in this world read her books or not, but Jade was sure of one thing, her mom, Mrs Carter, Julia and Nicole would always read her books.

"And did you like them?"
"Do you need to ask? I loved them! And don't you think I didn't notice that you used my dialogue in 'Static'."
Jade laughed. She never thought that it could go past the sharp eye of Mrs Carter.
In a way she actually wanted her to read and know that she was thinking about her.
Mrs Carter had always been like a second mother to her, taking care of Jade as much as her own children.
"How is Julia?"
Julia was Mrs Carter's elder daughter, and one of Jade good friends and avid readers.
"Julia is good, very excited for Alec's return though."
"Alec's return?"
Jade who has been balancing on the edge of the bed plopped down onto the floor on getting the unexpected news.
"Yes, sweetie. That's what I called to tell you. Alec is coming back. On this coming Monday. I thought I'll let you know. Isn't it great news?" Mrs Carter sounded as excited as a child going to Disney world for the first time.
"Yes.... Uh... Great news!" Jade tried to sound enthusiastic.
They spoke for some more time, Mrs Carter asking about her mom's health and inviting them for dinner to celebrate Alec's homecoming.
After saying her goodbyes, Jade kept the phone and just sat on the floor staring at the screen.
Alexander Carter was coming back.
Her best friend in the whole world was coming back.
And surprisingly that was the last thing she wanted.

Terms and Conditions
The planet Earth –galactic name Driew—has always been an ordinary and peaceful planet with a small population of ape-beings ruling it. Conflicts do break out from time to time, but that is to be expected since most living planets die by either solar flares or some form of self-destruction. But, unfortunately for the Earth, a Mustela named Exflibberaguil was approaching this planet, and something destructive seemed to always follow him—though he would say it was just his destructively-hot looks. Marine Nick Lucifay is a female inhabitant of Earth, always too ready to run. When presented with an opportunity of adventure, her ape-brain figures that adventure is probably worth the consequence of death. And so, setting off to the nearest McDonalds, Marine Nick finds herself in the midst of an intergalactic struggle that involves a great quantity of bubbles. Chased by the most unlikely of enemies, Exflibberaguil must give up his secrets to save a world—and Marine—from running to their deaths.
