Hey guys! I recently just became a huge fan of Ender's Game, so I decided to start writing some fanfics on it. Hope you like it!
"Hey!" Petra yelled as Bean splashed the ocean water on her face. Bean and Valentine were laughing their heads off. Peter, who decided to come, was smiling for the first time today. Ender was watching all of this from a distance, on the sand. He smiled.
Ender was now 18, and was far from the boy he was before. He was taller and more masculine. Bean, who was 17, had definitely grown taller too, but he wasn't as tall as Ender. Petra had grown to be a beautiful young woman, and was two weeks away from turning 18. Valentine was 22, and had was studying to become a teacher. Not the kind of teacher who taught students about the war, that was long over. The teacher who taught about normal things. Schools were no longer training kids to go to war, and the children didn't need monitors on their necks anymore. Everything had changed for the better. Peter was 24, and was, not surprisingly, a Karate instructor. Ender and Petra had just finished high school, and all five of them were staying at Ender's home for the summer.
After Ender ended the war, he bought a house on the beach near the mountains. It had four bedrooms: one for Valentine and Petra, another for Peter, One for Bean, and one for Ender. Ender had decided that he needed to get in the water. He already had his trunks on, so he took off his white shirt and walked towards the waves. He dipped his feet into the cool water and closed his eyes. The water soothed Ender. He walked further in and closed his eyes again. Just as he was starting to relax, he heard a voice laugh.
"Valentine, stop tickling me! Bean, please make it stop, make it stop!" Ender could tell it was Petra's voice. He then felt himself get knocked down into the water. He quickly opened his eyes, and noticed that Petra was basically on top of him. They both quickly got up out of the water, and Petra coughed.
"You okay?" Ender asked worriedly. Petra nodded. "Oh, I'm fine, and I'm sorry that I bumped into you." Bean laughed. "It was more like you fell on top of him, Petra." Petra quickly dunked him into the water, causing Bean to cough up the ocean saltwater. Ender laughed.
Petra smiled triumphantly. Peter started walking to ward the house, saying," I'm gonna find something to eat, anyone want to come?" Valentine and Bean quickly ran into the house, leaving Ender and Petra on the beach alone. Ender sat down on the sand and looked at the sky, which was turning into different shades of pink and orange. "Aren't you going to eat?" Petra asked, sitting beside Ender. "What happens know, Petra?" he asked. "I mean, we just finished high school, and we don't know what to do next. Sometimes, I think I'll be all alone with nothing at all for me." he said, still looking at the sky.
"Ender," Petra started, "Everything will happen when it needs to. It always does." she grabbed his hand. "And you'll never be alone. You have us." she smiled. Ender glanced at Petra's hand, which fit perfectly in his. It felt weird, in a nice sort of way, They both stood up, and Ender noticed that Petra was still holding his hand. He raised his eyebrow at Petra. She noticed what she was doing and quickly took her hand away from his, blushing.
"Um, I'm gonna see what their cooking in there. I'm really hungry." she ran into the was watching through the window, and Petra whacked him with a magazine. Ender could hear Bean yell, "Oww!" as he saw Peter laugh at the incident. Ender didn't move from where he was standing, though. He looked at his hand. Ender thought, "She blushed."
Petra never blushes.
Done with Chapter 1! Hoping on updating tomorrow, but there are no promises. See ya!
