Bikini Planet

“What are you doing?” Norton asked.
“You can see what I’m doing. This thing isn’t designed for the water, and neither is your suit. Take it off.”
“I’m not going in the water!”
“Wayne, listen to me: Where else are you going to go?”
“Ah…” Norton looked back toward the island, guessing that it might not be such a good idea to return. “… yeah.”
As he gazed at the red ocean, the waves, imagining the unknown depths beneath, Kiru undid his tie, slipped off his jacket, removed his vest, unbuttoned his shirt.
“I can’t go in the sea,” he said. “I can’t swim.”
“You can float, you know that,” Kiru told him. She unfastened his shoes. “There are other islands out there, caverns that can only be reached from under the water, places where we’ll be safe. We’ll be okay. We’ve got friends.” She took off his pants. “I’ve got friends. It’s lucky Diana didn’t thank you in her speech for helping them choose this planet, not that the Caphafers would have known who you were. We all look the same to them.”
Norton stared at the red alien ocean, noticing all the red aliens waiting out there. Waiting for them.
Friends? He hoped so.
Kiru held up her left hand, showing Norton her wedding ring.
“That’s all I need,” she said, taking his right hand in her left.
“You’re all I need,” said Norton, and they kissed.
Countless aeons ago, on a far-away planet, their distant ancestors had crawled out of the primeval sea in their quest for a new life.
Now it was time to return.
As naked as when they were born, Kiru and Wayne Norton waded out into the alien ocean, away from the land and toward the unknown horizon.
NOT ANOTHER END… but a new beginning
