The morning has just started, and our Star, which we call Aroon, is probably still near the horizon. Its yellow and orange rays might be making the pink and light purple sky (which is oddly clear at this time of year) visible. You can see nature come to life. The beautiful pinkish and purple flowers are spreading their fragrance, and the chirping of the birds makes your heart warm. People are waking up with bright smiles, and the hope for a new, beautiful, and peaceful day is evident on their faces. But...
"Clovy, wake up, breakfast is ready."
Yeah, it's time to wake up.
Well, that was my mom. And I am still sleeping, if you are smart enough, you would have figured it out when I said probably.
I am not a morning person. Most of you would agree with me that waking up is the most annoying part of the day. I mean, who wants to leave the comfort of their bed?
"Clovy, wake up, or you will be late for school, and Mrs. Claws is not going to like it. " Said a robotic voice.
Hmmmmm... have you ever regretted any decision of yours that made you think, WHY - JUST WHY DID I DO THAT? Well, that's what I am thinking right now that WHY - JUST WHY.
Anyways, meet Yaan. I created him. Yaan is a modified telescope with a hampionoid body; it knows every discovered part of the universe. It is a robot with consciousness. He acts like a second Mom to me.
"Wake up, Clovy" Yaan snatches my blanket. "WAKE UP ALREADYYY". "Uhggh..... Ok, ok, I am getting up," Clovy said.
"Your school dress and sanitizer are ready. I packed your bag too....."
See my second mommy.
"Ok, ok, Thanks," I said while yawning
"Here, take this," Yaan said.
"What is this?" I asked, yawning again.
"The chip. I collected some interesting data yesterday". Yaan said.
" Ooh... ".
I took a quick look at the clock with my squeezed eyes, five minutes earlier than my usual time, so like every normal hampian being, I lay back on my bed.
"What do you think you are doing?"
"What? It is still five minutes early, let me sleep for a bit more."
"No, get up and get ready for school."
"Oh, come on," I said.
"No, get ready and get going," Yaan said.
"Ok, mommy." I frowned.
I started sanitising my body and put on my school uniform. It is a combination of a white shirt, a red tie, and a checked skirt. I looked in the mirror.
I am pretty tall, a bit muscular, not much, have big black eyes, light purple skin with a little pinkish glow on my cheeks, and long straight blonde hair. Accept being tall, I look like any ordinary Hampian girl. On coming of age, we get a little darker than before. l parted my hair and made two pigtails. It suits my face shape. I took my bag, headed downstairs and entered the kitchen.
I took my usual spot at the dining table. My breakfast was already there waiting for me. It contained the usual mong beans ( a type of bean found on planet Hampa) and blue milk( there are three varieties of milk on the planet - blue, pink, and yellow, depending on the species the milk is extracted from. Blue milk comes from Gaiya, an animal with similar characteristics to a cow with more hair, which is blue and has no horns. Mong beans are my favourite.
The chair facing towards me is occupied by my father, a big man with broad shoulders, dark purple skin, a little blue in his throat, light brown and straight hair, just like mine, of course, shorter. He eats with one hand and reads some articles on his holographic contact spear (a spear-like phone which can create a hologram), which is his usual activity.
Behind him is my mother, who is standing in a way that her back is facing me, but I can still see her face. She is a bit shorter, but she is more beautiful than me and my older sister, and on a more feminine side. Her skin is a bit darker than mine, and why is that? I have mentioned this before, and I am not going to explain it again. Her eyes are much bigger than mine and my sister's.
My mother and father are both very sweet people. But still, you won't want to see my mother angry.
"So where is sissy?". I said, stuffing my mouth with a spoonful of mong beans just after that.
"She already left". My father said, his eyes still on the article.
"So did you make the list"? My mother asked.
"What list? " I asked, not giving much thought to it and stuffing my mouth again.
"Oh! This girl never remembers anything. The list of things that you will need for the Liz MONTH. " Mother said, facing me, frustratedly.
"Oh, that, Yaan has it. He made it yesterday. You can take it from him". I said.
"Honestly! You rely on him a lot. When are you going to learn to do your own work?" Said Mom.
"Oh come on! Now don't lecture me on this. I created him, so I don't have to do the hard work. Besides, he likes to do that."
" I am going, see you later". I said, picked up my bag, and left for school.
"Don't get distracted in class. I don't want to hear any complaints from your teacher, even on the last day of school. " Said mother, shouting, so that I could hear.
"Sure, if they don't bore me," I said under my breath.
Well, my school is 15 minutes away from my home, so I usually walk.
...................
...
Well, here is my school, and before it was a castle. But after the Ika war, the royal family was thrown away as rulers, and a Democratic government was set up.
"DIIIIIINNNNNNG"
"Oh, look, just in time for class to start".
( Scene changed. In planet Rex)
The sound of someone running.
"Huff, hanha, huu" ( catching a breath) "Looks like I lost them." Someone said
"Khaaaaaaaaaaa," someone yelled in a high-pitched voice.
"Oh no, they are fast. I have to get out of here. "
As it was speaking, two pairs of giant green coloured legs with at least 6 cm long nails ran towards it at full speed.
"Nooo." It started running towards giant mountain rocks, made a high jump, and started jumping from one rock to another. Those legs are still following him.
"There it is." It finally lands on the ground and starts running at full speed toward a white pod with a black widow-type door. He opens the door, gets inside it and then closes it.
"Come on! Get started already. " It started pressing random buttons, and when it was occupied with the settings, its ears picked up the sound of glass shattering, and just in time, it saw a green hand with long nails making its way toward its neck. It tilted its body just enough to stop the approaching hand from making a hole in its neck, but the hand pierced through its right shoulder.
"AAaaaagggggh, it screamed in pain.
"Why youuuuu. " It raised its left hand. Took the green hand out of its shoulder and ripped the hand apart from the monster's body, whose palm was drenched in red blood and pressed a red button.
"KHAAAAAAAAAAA!" This time, the monster screamed. Two of them were clinging to the pot. But before they could make their next move, the pod launched into space.
"Haaah". It took a breath of relief.
"Khaaaa."
"What! They are still attached to it. "
The monsters started shaking the pot.
"Aaaaa, stop ihhht, Ghaaaa. " It hit its head on the motherboard. It closed its eyes and everything went black.
