We watched the door close on the outside and closed the door to the dropship. It had finally sunk in that we were going to Earth. 

A count down started just as two guards ran to the outside door. They banged on the door and tried to type in a password to get the doors to open. The doors wouldn't budge.

Then I heard the last few numbers of the countdown.

Liftoff.

I felt the engine blast away from the ark. 

It was just me and the guard in an awkward silence.

"My name is Bellamy Blake," he responded.

That was basically all we said the whole trip. I am just going to go out on a limb here and say that we aren't friends yet.
