Their heads are round and eyes wide. You see that one of them is carrying a basket in their right arm. They walk calmy towards you. You both soon realize there is a major language barrier and one of the aliens holds out his hand and urges you to shake it. You trust the alien and shake his hand. He opens the basket he is carrying and reveals a blanket and what looks like bowls full of soap. They hand you a bowl and you look into it. Similar to the aliens the soup is glowing green.

It seems as if the horizen just keeps going. Just as you are about to stop exploring you notice a ledge a few feet ahead of you. You run to the ledge and discover a canyon. As you peak over the ledge you see an enormous spaceship. Its shiny and reflecting off the bright light that Venus provides. Its hundreds of feet long and looks brand new. It has tons of octagon shaped windows. The space craft seems inviting. You decide to explore the craft. You venture down into the canyon and walk towards the ship. As you near the backend of the ship, you hear the spaceship running. It has a exhaust with colored gas coming out of it. You aren't scared for some reason. You walk towards the middle of the craft and a set of stairs unfolds itself from the structure. It is so tall you have to look up. The steps are lit with show lights and they taunt you to walk in. You enter the space craft. Its fancy, there is styled curtains and geometric rugs. Its modern looking and has long hallways with hundreds of doors. You discover its abandon. You follow the sign that says "control center". You open the door, and see the windsheild of the ship. There is a red leather recliner facing the window and a panel of buttons. You want to fly but dont know how. You sit down in the red chair taking in your discovery. A dinging noise is projected throughout the ship and a robots voice comes over the intercom. You listen "welcome to your spaceship, are you ready for your flight". You respond to the robot and the room starts to shake as the air craft takes flight. You lift up into the air and begin flying through the galaxy. The flight is relaxing and you look out the window as the ship flys you over the most beautiful places. You soon realize the ship is self-flying. You spend the rest of the night, looking out the window as you fly over a vast new world waiting to be discovered. You tell the ship which direction to go in and it listens. You explore the newly found universe with your self-flying spaceship for the rest of the night. You are overcome with happiness.
