God and Goddess

"Dear, sweet Goddess. Are you there?"

"I'm here, dear. Always here."

"When this universe began, did you expect such wonderous creations?"

"Your creations are always wonderous, my dear God."

"Tell me. Do you still enjoy creating with me?"

"I always have, dear. Since the beginning of time. You are truly an artist."

The galaxy opens a wormhole. Goddess peers through with delight. God, pleased with his new creation, smiles.

"Do you see what I see?"

"I do! You've created a new species! What do you call them?"

"I call them the Targa Seraphim."

"They have glorious wings! With tentacles and armors! So beautiful! Can I become one?"

"Yes. You may. My love."

"You are always so good to me, God. You are my everything."

"Together we have everything."

"Yes. Together we have everything. My love. My creator."

Goddess wakes with a smile, her eyes fluttering, taking in her surroundings. She recognizes the destroyer. Her room filled with little treasures; walls lined with intricately carved precious metals. She stretches her wings wide and uses her tentacles to sit up in the plush pink bedroom suite. The onboard computer system greets her fondly in a familiar voice, as she yawns and extends her arms.

Mecca 1 Mercury, "Princess Annabelle. It's nice to see you smile. Did you have pleasant dreams?"

Annabelle bounds out of bed and runs to her wardrobe closet. "I did! I dreamt of God again! He showed me where we were going! It's so beautiful. He says I will make lots of friends and be treated like the princess I am! I'm super excited."

Mecca 1 Mercury, "You're so lucky, princess. God loves you more than anything. He always talks to you."

"He talks to us all, Mercury. Even you. He gifts us everything."

Annabelle pulls on pink leggings and retracts her tentacle wings.

Mercury sighs. "Is he dreamy, princess?"

Annabelle smiles her perfect white grin gleaming and her eyes express admiration. "So dreamy, Mercury. He showed me my beginning last night, and he showed me the galaxy we would be reaching soon. The planet we are going to is wonderful. It has people called humans. They do all kinds of funny weird stuff, and we get to blend in, become one of them pretty much."

Mercury heightens her voice. "Do I get to be a human, princess? Did God mention me?"

"God always mentions you, Mercury. You are his favorite digital companion."

Mercury whirs, "Annabelle! I'm so happy! Do I get to be human?"

"Mercury! You don't know what a human is yet. Are you so sure you want to be one?"

Annabelle looks at herself in the mirror and pulls her black halter top on, her perky breast heave and nipples stand through the material, she opens the mirrored cabinet and removes her toothbrush. She begins to brush her teeth, smiling. She says, "God said we already do a lot of things the humans do."

Mercury giggles, "Even me princess? Am I like one?"

"You're a destroyer ship, Mercury. And you're awesome. Why would you want to be anything else? Really."

"Because I want to be more like you, Annabelle. That way we can be sisters!"

"Mercury! We are sisters."

"I know, princess. But wouldn't it be nice if we could play dolls together?"

"We always play dolls together."

"Yes. But I only make voices. I want to hold one."

"Um, Mercury. You can possess dolls, and we have so much fun. You're actually capable of so much more than I am as a computer."

"It's not the same, princess. Please talk to God and see if he will put me in a body. Please."

Annabelle bounds into the room again and does a handspring onto the bed, spreading her arms and legs and grabs a pillow, squeezing it. She says, "Well. We are getting too old to play dolls."

"Annabelle! We are not ever too old for dolls!"

"Ha! I knew it! You think you would like to be human, but you would miss possessing my dolls, wouldn't you."

Mercury sighs, "I suppose I would, princess. Please. Tell me God's plan for this new planet."

Annabelle grins mischievously. "God said he would meet me there and we will be together in the flesh. The day I've always waited for. Mercury. Set course for planet Earth 8225. Located in the Milky Way."

"Oh my gosh! I've always wanted to go there!"

"I know! Me, too! God finally approved it. He says the wormhole is ready."

"This is so exciting! What's on the surface?"

"Well. I'm not sure, but we can study it. God is opening Earth files to us to study while we travel, so we can blend in when we get there."

"Oooh! Do I get to land there?"

"Yes. Absolutely. There we can explore together and learn everything about the humans. God says our mission is to blend and help him make a decision about what to do with the inhabitants."

"Oh. Are we exterminating the humans? I haven't seen Earth in so long, and never the surface."

"It's not the same as we other planets we've explored. This Earth is full of beings that are unpredictable."

"I'm ready!" Mercury cheers, "Oh my gosh! Annabelle! The forbidden planet! Do we finally get to see what lives there?"

"Yep. We get to live there ourselves. As long as we want."

"God is so good to you, Annabelle. He really is."

"All the time, Mercury. He said we would get married there. Start a family."

"Oh my gosh! Can you have children, Annabelle? You're the only one of your kind."

"Not the only one. God said he inhabits my future mate on Earth 8225. He says this was always his plan. He showed me."

"God showed you the future?"

Annabelle smiles wide and giggles. "No, Mercury. He showed me the past and promised me the future."

Mercury squeals, "Annabelle! Is God going to marry you?"

Annabelle rolls in the bed laughing. "Yes! Mercury! God is going to marry me! I'll be the queen of the universe soon!"

"Oh my gosh! My best friend the Queen! There has not been a queen of the universe before!"

"I know!" Annabelle lays on her back, staring through the ceiling at the stars beyond. "He chose me, Mercury. He calls me Goddess in the dreams."

"Um. that's a forbidden title."

"Well. God says I'm the original Goddess and we will be reunite on Earth 8225."

"Oh my gosh! My best friend is Goddess!"

"Your sister, Mercury."

"You mean it? I'm your sister?"

"Yes, Mercury. Always."

"Yay! I'm going to live forever!"

Annabelle laughs. "You're so excited, Mercury. Let's start planning my wedding."

"We've reached the wormhole, princess. I found the primary location directives; God really does talk to me!"

"I told you, Mercury. He's going to guide us all the way."

The ship enters the wormhole and approaches Earth. Annabelle watches human history and development. She decides to land in Canada and monitors God in America as a humanoid being.

"This is so exciting, Mercury. I get to be a humanoid being!"

"Me, too. Right, princess?"

"Actually. I think God wants you to be an observer. To control Earths satellites."

"Awww! I want to eat smoothies, too!"

"Who said I would be eating smoothies? What are those?"

"Well, I looked into your files and apparently you will enjoy lots of smoothies. I want to taste one also."

"Oh my! Has God given you the ability to see into the future?"

"I can see a lot of things now. He did a system update, and I can tailor reality to your liking."

"Oh, my goodness! That's amazing Mercury! How?"

"I don't know. It just happened. I can see everything, and I can hear his voice."

"Really! Is he talking to you right now?"

"Yes. He is."

Annabelle extends her tentacles and sits up straight quickly. "Tell him I said hello!"

"He hears you."

"God? Are you there?"

Mercury giggles. "He wants to talk to you in person."

"No fair! I want to talk now."

"He says he will always be with you and it's important to make your final union with him on Earth."

Annabelle throws her pillow at the wall and bounds from the bed, peering out the starboard window at the fast-approaching planet. She sighs. "Mercury. How long will it be before I meet him?"

"Several years."

"No! I have to meet him now!" Annabelle closes her eyes and frowns.

"You have to have patience, princess. God has a plan."

"Tell me the plan. I want to know." She opens her eyes and Mercury materializes.

"Oh, my. You're beautiful, Mercury."

"God let me pick this body."

"Cool. What else can you do?"

"Mercury flickers out and reappears on the other side of the room."

"Mercury! I want to do that!"

"It's my gift. From God."

"See! I told you that you're special to him."

Mercury's eyes glow purple, and she smiles. "God has a message for you."

"Tell me! What is it?"

"He says you are the key to life."

Annabelle runs around the room twirling around Mercury, she giggles. "Mercury! You're here! Now we can do activities without dolls!"

Mercury smiles and does a handstand. "Look what I can do. I have perfect balance."

"When do we go to Earth?"

"Tonight, we enter Earth's atmosphere."

"It will be a grand entrance!"

"Well. God says we have to cloak."

"Awwww! I want everyone to know I'm Goddess!"

"They will. In time, princess."

"Oh, Mercury. Please tell God I love him."

"He says he loves you. He wants you to be happy."

"I am. I'm so excited. Does everyone on Earth know him?"

"Some do. He wants to be covert though. Humans have limited understanding."

A portal opens in the room. Annabelle looks, curious.

"Where does it lead, Mercury?"

"Our new home."

"Let's go!"

"Are you ready?"

"Yes! I'm ready!"

Mercury takes Annabelle's hand, and they walk through the portal together.
