Number One Chef In The Intergalactic Era

Chapter 2

The robot Bell left Ann in the room to bring a wheelchair. It didn't take long it to come back. But what it brought with it astonished Ann.

The thing it brought couldn't be called a wheelchair. Because it doesn't have any wheels at all. Rather it seems the thing is gliding through the floor. As it the floor is slippery to it, and it's slipping off of it. The rest of the parts of the wheelchair seems normal. Just advanced. The wheelchair is pink in color with various flowers and fluffy things painted onto it. The cushion of the seat seems soft.

Ann couldn't describe how she feels after seeing the wheelchair. It makes her remember about one of the scientist of Earth who was confined to a wheelchair. What was his name again? Stephen Hawking?

The robot helps Ann to seat on the chair. Once seated, it pushes some kind of button on the wheelchair and the wheelchair starts to move on its own. Ann was startled for a moment before quickly calm down. After seeing so many high-tech things, she came to realize that she is in a country which is advanced in science.

After leaving the room, the robots guides her to the hallway towards the living room. Ann is following slowly with the robot sitting on her wheelchair. But suddenly she halted when her gaze landed on a mirror standing at the side of the hallway. Her whole body frozes when she sees the person in the mirror.

A little girl around fourteen years old, sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the mirror with an astonished gaze. Her skin shines like white golds. Her hair loosely draped on her shoulder resembles countless shining gold threads. She is wearing a beautiful blue dress that resembles her beautiful blue eyes. She has some baby fat on her which make her look very cute and lovely. All in all the girl is beautiful and....it's not her body at all.

Ann gazes at her own reflection blankly for a while before tilting her head in confusion. The girl in the mirror also copies her and tilts her neck. Ann blinks and the girl in the mirror also blinks with her. Ann shakily reaches her hand forward and the girl also does the same. Ann touches her own reflection and becomes even more puzzled. It looks like the girl in the mirror is...her? But how can this be? Clearly she remembers everything about her. Never did she ever had such beautiful appearance before. But why did she suddenly become this beautiful?

"Bella?" A gentle call brings her back to reality. Ann tilts her neck upwards and sees that it's one of those handsome men. His name maybe Berson. Behind him is standing the robot Bell.

"What are you looking at Bella?" Berson asks his little sister gently who seems to lost her soul and is in a daze. Ann on the other hand couldn't understand what he said. So she brings her attention back to the mirror and again falls in a trance. The girl in the mirror is really beautiful. More beautiful than the actresses she has seen before in TV. She couldn't help but rub the mirror as if rubbing her reflection.

Berson notices his sister's daze expression as she looks at the mirror and rubs it. A helpless sigh leaves his mouth once he figures out the reason. It seems like his sister is curious about the thing called mirror. Since her mind became a child's, her behavior also seem to becoming more and more childish. It seems like they have to work hard to bring her back to her original self.

Ann wanted to look at the mirror for a few moments but Berson didn't let her. He turns her wheelchair around and starts to take her to the living room. Ann was startled so she couldn't help but look at the handsome guy before looking at the mirror again. As if silently telling him that she wants to stay here and look at the mirror. Berson let out a sigh and tells her "Let's go Bella. Your brothers are waiting for you."

Ann didn't understand what he said so she kept quiet. She is busy to figure out what is happening than hear what the man said or mean. Her mind is swirling with so many questions that it hurts. She have to find what is happening as soon as possible.
