Without saying another word, Dirt flicked the on button and shoved the hose at the spot on the floor where the stardust had fallen into a sand dune-like pile, clearing a neat path through the pile with his first sweep.

Moments later, Xinni and Boone began to feel a tingling sensation over every bit of their skin.

“Wait! … I’m ali ..” Boone began to shout before a hand clasped tightly over his mouth.

The hand belonged to another Sapieod who was hovered over him. Although Boone felt like his head was filled with a thousand cobwebs, he had a sense he did not know this Sapieod.

He turned his head to the side and noticed Xinni sprawled on the floor, staring at the ceiling. He could faintly hear shouting in the distance.

“Where am I? … What happened?” Boone asked the stranger in a whispered voice.

Instead of answering, the stranger waved her right hand and several other Sapieods appeared at her side. Two of them pulled Boone up to a standing position, placed his arms over their shoulders.

They helped him down a long, narrow, downward-sloping hallway into a large chamber with white and black velvet flocked wallpaper, marble floors and overstuffed black leather couches. They dropped Boone onto one couch, and the two other strange Sapieods dropped Xinni onto another couch. Boone now could faintly hear "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" drifting from speakers in the wall ... Was that Wham! or just George Michael?, Boone thought to himself.

“Welcome to your new home. I am Kiawa,” the first Sapieod said.

Boone and Xinni exchanged a look of confusion.

Kiawa continued. “You were on the verge of being made slaves by a very horrible tribe of creatures. They do not know that we have a compound located in the ground, underneath their own space and that their vacuum sends transformed Sapieods into our secret compound.”

“Transformed Sapieods?” Xinni asked.

“You see, once Sapieods have found their true love match, they are able to transform their bodies in times of need. The two of you must be each other’s true love match. You were in grave danger, and your bodies were able to transform themselves into stardust at just in time for that vile creature to send you through the vacuum into our secret compound. Once the danger was past, you began reforming to your natural state.”

“So, we’re alive?" Xinni asked.

Kiawa laughed. “Yes, yes, you’re alive. Come with me, I’ll show you around a bit and explain more about what things around the compound are like.”

"Definitely Wham!," Boone said as Kiawa led the way down another corridor. "What?" Xinni asked with a perplexed look.

"Nothing," Boone said as he grabbed Xinni’s hand and squeezed. Xinni faced him with a glowing smile. Everything was going to be alright.

Aaaaannnnnd scene.
