The night was quiet and peaceful. It was only broken by the sound of shoes over leaves as a man with a lean figure, black hair, fair skin, goatee, and five o'clock shadow could be seen walking through the darkness.

"Okie doke, time to get this old wreck back to the yard."

He was referring to an old car lodged in the earth. With him was a chain connected to a tow truck to pull said vehicle out.

"Man, how someone was dumb enough to get a Cadillac stuck hood deep in the ground is a mystery in it's own right." The man shook his head at what some people would do.

He hooked the chain around the bumper and turned on the winch to try and dislodge it.

After getting it free he made his way home while listening to the radio.

"This is definitely some good junk." He then looked to the bag of busted and broken devices he got from his usual supplier. "Definitely a good haul this time."

As he kept walking, he noticed a weird green glow coming from a corn field up ahead, stopped the truck and looked in the direction from where it was coming from.

"Wonder if it's something big." mumbled the man as he got out and grabbed the chain.

He made his way through the field and found a wide path with a crater. "Woah."

He walked closer to the crater and saw a weird sphere in it.

"What the...?" He approached with caution. What ever this was it was most likely dangerous.

He grabbed a stick and tried poking the odd object. So far it did nothing. He got closer and gave it a good whack. He must have hit some kind of release or something because the hatch slid back making a horrible screeching noise.

He watched as a figured seemed to fall out and make a slight groan. It was a was a green skinned woman tied in what looked like a whip. He cocked his head and got a little closer. Her hair was in an odd tetrahedron style, a visor over the top part of her face, and what looked like a gemstone on her forehead.

"What are you?" He muttered.

She seemed to groan and looked like she was waking, but slipped back into unconsciousness. He looked at her for a few more moments before kneeling down and taking her into his arms.

"I can't just leave her out here."

He made his way back to the truck, he moved the bag from the passenger seat of the truck to the Cadillac, then reclined the seat, and put the strange woman in it

He started the truck and began driving down the road with the odd woman.

He would have liked to take the thing in the crater with them but there was no possible way, so he made a mental note to retrieve it later. He drove for sometime glancing at his unconscious passenger every now and then.

'Who is this girl?'

Soon enough he was coming up to a gate with a sign that read Scrap Trap. He drove the truck and parked it next to a large pile of scrap metal.

It was then that she started to stir.

"Where...am I?" she groaned out. Then moved to a sitting position. Her vision was blurred but soon cleared up to take in her surroundings. Her eyes widened as her gaze fell on the human next to her and did the most logical thing she could. "AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

"Wow, you got some strong pipes."

"What am I doing here?! What is this place?!"

"This is the Scrap Trap where old machines can rust in peace."

"Why did you bring me here? Where is my pod."

"First off I brought you here because you were unconscious, and if your talking about that thing you were in it's in a crater in a corn field."

"My gem!" She gasped. "You, my gem, is it cracked!

"It looks fine to me."

She let out a sigh of relief at hearing that.

"By the way I'm Jerry. What's your name?"

"It's Peridot."

"Peridot, mind if I call you Peri for short?"

"You will do no such thing! Now untie me!" Peridot replied as she started squirming round to try and get free.

"Oh, right."Jerry tried his best to get the whip off but whoever it belonged to had a great skill at binding their target. "I take it your not from here, as in not from this planet."

"That information is classified." replied peridot with a neutral face.

"I figured as much." shrugged Jerry.

Looking closer Jerry noticed the whip had more gem stones in it, purple ones. Eventually it came loose and Peridot was free. And after getting a good look at her Jerry was mesmerized, mostly by her fingers, which weren't even directly attached to her arms, just hovered where her palms should be.

"Now I can find my pod and get off this planet." She opened the door and started walking towards the exit.

"hang on!" Jerry quickly left the vehicle after her. "Do you even know the way?" He asked.

Peridot stopped. She had no clue on the layout of this planet. For all she knew her pod could be in the opposite direction.

"Look if you are an alien, which is plainly obvious by the way, it's not safe for you to be walking around in broad daylight. Decades of paranoia inducing science fiction have made people a little distrustful of other worldly beings."

Peridot groaned in irritation. She had a feeling something like that might be the case on a less advanced world like this.

"Why not come with me to my place and we'll get your pod when we can."

"Fine." relented the gem.

Jerry smiled before making a gesture to follow him.

Peridot did so reluctantly.

After a short walk they came to a two story house.

"This is where you live?" Peridot questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, the property has been in my family since before World War II." Jerry replied with a hint of pride.

"Interesting. " nodded Peridot who would need to keep a tab later to see the history on her temporary shelter.

Jerry opened the front door and and stood aside "After you."

Peridot rolled her eyes and walked inside. The place smelled funny but looked inhabitable.

Peridot noticed an odd back object and walked over with curiosity. "What is this?"

"It's a piano." Jerry sat down in front of the piano and started playing a small tune.

Peridot watched as Jerry's hands danced across the keys.

He finished his melody and smirked. "Well?"

"The song was executed thoroughly." Peridot replied

"What can you do with those." He asks pointing at her fingers.

"I use them to collect and analyze data." Her fingers then floated away fro her arm and activated her finger screen.

"You have a computer in your fingers?" asked Jerry who was a little impressed and a little envious. The thing she could do with a computer in his hand, or as his had in thus case

"In a way, yes." Peridot replied boredly

"What exactly did you do back home?" asked Jerry.

"I told you it's classified." replied Peridot not moving her eyes from the screen.

"Well if we're gonna live together, some trust in me would be appreciated."

"Very well, I will answer any question you have that I deem fit to answer." spoke Peridot

"Ok, why were you in that pod?"

"My ship was going down so I used my escape pod to launch myself to this planet." replied Peridot like it was obvious.

"Well, why was it going down?" he asked.

"We were returning to our homeworld after capturing a handful of rebels. They escaped and two of them attacked me in the ships control room." frowned Peridot bringing it up.

"Let me guess, then they tied you up?"

"Yes." growled Peridot, clenching her fist as she remembered the scene.

Suddenly a knock came from the door.

"Uh oh." came Jerry's reply as he looked towards the door.
