But the leader decided that the King would be further annoyed if they killed Seema, so it was decided that she would live.
Seema, of course, didn't realize that she could have been killed. She paced as far as the rope allowed her to go in one direction to as far as the rope would let her go in the other direction.
"I hope it doesn't have some kind of disease," one Grox was saying, but to Seema it sounded like "Grubble gonk gook gurk!"
"Hmmph!" she thought. "Well, those stupid Little Ones can do anything they like. I'm going to go home. NOW. Mom'll be upset if I don't."
To her surprise... actually, 'surprise' is an inappropriate word to describe what she was feeling then, it was more like life-threatening shock that made her body shake and her mind whirl.
So, to her life-threatening shock, the Flier changed course and swung back toward Semma's planet. She was cast back down... and, of course, found that those stupid Little Ones had put her on the wrong planet.
A creature looked at her curiously. "Why were the Grox just here?" it asked.
Seema groaned. She wasn't home. She was in an even worse situation.
Because happy endings don't happen in real life, do they?
