“Mia’s on the horn,” said Hewey. He switched
the front viewshield over. Her red face and eyes filled it.

“I’ll be okay,” she offered after he asked.
“I’m just a little freaked out. Hewey and Cubey have been
wonderful. They’ve helped calm me down. I wanted to thank you for
convincing me to let them download into my tech, and to tell you
…”

She held up. “Probability, I …”

He smiled. “I do too.”

She smiled.

“Hewey? Are we encrypted?”

“It’s the only way to fly,” said Hewey.

“That new console will encrypt your waves,”
he said. “It’s military-grade with a serious boost from its two new
occupants. We can talk without worry.”

“But soon you’ll be so far away. The
light-delay …”

“Don’t you two worry about that just yet,”
said Hewey. “I think you’ll like what Cubetastic and I have been
workin’ on. We think it’s almost finished. In the meantime, I’ve
got a song for you two.”

“Let’s hear it,” said Random. He watched as
Mia nodded. “Play it, Hewey.”

“Here it is,” said Hewey.

Random smiled. It was an ancient melody that
his father fell in love with after Random played it for him.

Mia was smiling too.

No tears, no fears,
Remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part,
We'll be together again
Your kiss, your smile,
Are memories I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart,
We'll be together again
