Chapter 4: New Home

Concept art of what Marlene looks like. She was inspired by the female Instant Martians in Marvin's "I'm a Martian." I hope you like her!
Now onto the story!!

"...you need to sweep the halls of my ship, then make me breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you can't cook, I can teach you to the best of my abilities or we will order out. Do you understand?"

I wrote down everything Marvin was telling me. I wasn't the fastest writer, and sometimes I misheard words Marvin would say. I thought Marvin would have ripped my head off but he noticed when I struggled for a second. He offered to slow down and repeated some words, even if I didn't ask him to. Marvin was sincere, but if only it were a different circumstance.

Marvin can be all sweet and helpful to me all he wanted, but I was not lightening up to him anytime soon. Marvin took me, no, he abducted me away from my friends and from my home; all so some human could do his chores and his bidding.

"That should be it, for right now," Marvin says, looking at me. "I think you need some rest now, however, I am unsure of the status of your new room."

I stayed silent and looked at my paper, my sloppy handwriting. Placing the pencil on top of the paper, Marvin watched my every little action. He then looks at my paper and nods. "You're handwriting is very good, earth creature." Marvin compliments. I only gave him a sly smile. He was not going to get the best out of me, nor will he when me over by being flattering.

"Don't be afraid of me. I'm only am just trying to make you feel better." Marvin softly speaks to me, placing his gloved white hand on my hand. I then gasped aloud, quickly remembering what he said to me before, and swiped my hand away from him. Marvin gave me a worried look and placed his hands in his lap, making sure they were as far as possible from my own hands. "I apologize, (Y/N). I won't touch you again." He apologizes, bending his head down with his eyes closed, similar to the way some cultures on Earth apologize and how to show respect.

"You made it seem that I was the filthy one and that I wasn't allowed to ever touch you." I scolded, hoping he'd remember what he said to me yesterday. Marvin then looks to be ashamed.
"Yes...I did say that. I apologize for that as well, (Y/N)." Marvin apologizes in a solemn tone.

Before I could tell him that I forgave him, K-9 comes out with Marlene and some other Instant Martians. K-9 looks at me then nods to Marvin, causing him to become excited. "Oh goody! (Y/N), your room has been made! Isn't that wonderful?" Marvin was happier than I was, that was for sure.

Marvin stands up and tells me to follow him. Me, Marvin, K-9, and Marlene walk to the room that so happened to be mine. We reach closed double doors. K-9 pressed the button with his nose, causing the two doors to open up for us. I and Marvin were stunned to see my new room.

The room, somewhat larger than the holding cell that I was in, was futuristically decorated and a sci-fi-looking king-sized bed with many pillows. There was a large window, looking out to Earth. The room had a nice cozy atmosphere, and that bed looked like heaven. There was even a bathroom with a real toilet and an actual tub. It was a very impressive space.

"Oooh, nice!" Marvin says, obviously loving the room. "You've done great work you two, thank you!"

"You're welcome-oh my god I just talked." Marlene suddenly bursts out. Marvin became immediately impressed. "A new talking Instant Martian, wonderful! A new friend for my servant, but hopefully will not be in her way." Marvin thinks out loud. Marlene was still surprised that she talked and I stood there admiring the room in my head, I didn't want to show emotion to it.

Marvin then turns to face me. "Now (Y/N), this is your room. You do whatever it is you need to do, and I will not disturb you. I hope it is to your liking." Marvin explains, showing me around.
