NaNoWriMo 2012: Day 10

I'm on a roll! For some reason, my MC just started telling a story (which is actually from her past) and she didn't stop for the whole time today. I end today with the end of the story within sight, but still not very close.

Excerpt:

"Are you ready? I've got the perfect funny story for you."

She nodded and started shoveling her last few bites into her mouth.

I could barely keep from laughing. She looked like a chipmunk with her bulging cheeks.

"Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away-"

She rolled her eyes. "I know that story."

"No, you don't. Now hush. Unless you don't want this story anymore?"

"No! I want one!"

"Then let me tell it." I leaned back and settled myself in my chair. "As I was saying; once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away there lived a girl. She loved to travel and see new things and was very talented at getting into trouble.

"One day she found herself in a spaceship that traveled between the stars and the people on it weren't human."

Kitty's eyes widened. "Did they hurt her?"

"No, not at all. They were nice people who liked talking to her to find out about humans. They were the good type of aliens who like to form alliances with humans instead of attacking them. But they were disappointed when she didn't know where her home was. She had traveled and ended up on their ship by accident. So, instead, they just had to talk. But they became very good friends.
