The Year 2100
Prologue
It's the year 2016, a baby boy named Arthur and a baby girl named Martha was born into the world. Now, the world was pretty. The trees were green. The skies were blue. Children were outside playing.
Twenty Seven years later, they met. They became a couple at the year 2045; two years after they met. Two years after being best friends. Arthur and Martha were the couple everybody wanted to be. They were happy. They were sweet. They were talented; Music and Acting were the main ones they liked to do. They did cute couple stuff that you wouldn't know if you wanted to say "Aww!" or puke. Yes, they were that sweet.
Three years later, they got married. Their vows and the words "I do" was said that day. People cried, people laughed. Some people were crying of happiness, of envy, knowing that they would never get Arthur or Martha.
The year 2050, two years later. They gave birth to four children. Robert, Lillian, Rebbeca and Lester.
When Lester was nineteen years old, (2069) Martha died. Lester remembered that day, and he always will till the day he dies.
"Mom!" Lester cried.
Martha was bed riden, she had cancer. Osteosarcoma. Stage M1b. Meaning the cancer spread to her other bones. She lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Lester, sweetie," Martha whispered. She made her voice sound like she almost didn't have cancer. Almost. "I know you are old enough to understand that I'm not going to last long."
Lester bowed his head, he knew. He only nodded. He slowly put his head up to see her mom taking of her necklace. It was Silver. The pendant was a heart made of a Ruby diamond. Then there was a silver lining around the heart holding the red ruby and it acting like the cage so the ruby doesn't fall of. Yes, it was real silver and real Ruby. It doesn't rust, it doesn't look colours, it been her family for a few generations.
"Give it to your daughter, or wife," she handed it to him. He held it like it was his lifeline. "Goodbye, sweetie. I love you so much."
She exhaled, she never inhaled again. She was gone.
A year later, he walked into the front doors of Music University of New York. Yes, he was a music prodigy. It's like he didn't even try, he was naturally good.
Year 2071, Lester was talking to a friend of his, Raymond. They've became good friends. It's been a year since he walked into his classroom. It's been 2 years since his mom died. It's been only a couple of months since he visited his dad in Miami after finishing a year in MUNY.
"Lester, stop talking about music for a sec and start talking to girls!" Raymond joked.
Lester never really had a girlfriend. He wanted to wait for the right one. His first and only girlfriend will be his first and only wife. But he still likes to have fun, granted he has his limits but he was still a fun person.
"What are you talking about? I talk to girls, a lot of times!"
"I meant start dating one, this "waiting for the right the girl" thing is making me sick," Raymond air quoted, "How do you last not dating girls? I mean just buy thinking about it. I know I'm not going to last."
Lester rolled his eyes, "Well sorry for not being a player—" "No, Lester, shut up. Don't be a player, many girls actually like you, so never be a player" their friend Barbara said, walking to them giving them a hug.
The three of them were friends, best friends.
"See, at least someone is grateful that I'm not dating—" "No, I want you to put yourself out there but I don't want you to be a player. Seriously you're like 21. Grow a pair and ask a girl out!" Barbara exclaimed cutting him of again.
"I have a pair! Don't open your mouth Barbara!" Lester exclaimed, getting annoyed. At that moment she closed her mouth. "There's nothing wrong with waiting for the right girl and I—"
Lester stopped his words, he stared at the girl walking down the hallway. She had like brown hair, big brown eyes, she was tall about 5'5-5'6. He was standing at 5'12 almost 6 feet. She was talking to the principal with a few new books in her arms. She looked around and she caught his gaze. She smiled at him.
"And I think I just found her." Lester sighs dreamily.
"Congratulations!" Cheers and greetings everywhere as the Class of 2073 threw their caps in the air. Finally, graduating! What a relief for some students. Some doesn't want it to end. Lester was relief that school was done. Trust me, he would miss his friends but he just wanted to leave and start a life with Penny. The girls who walked through the hallway and smiled at Lester. They've been together for a year. Like his parents they were the "it" couple of MUNY.
Lester saw his queen, he picked her up and spun her around. "I love you, my queen. Congratulations, my love!"
"I love you more, my prince!" Penny shouted over the cheers of other students.
Arthur; Lester's father, Robert, Lillian and Rebbeca; Lester's siblings came in the picture.
"Congrats, bro!" Robert said, giving his younger brother a bro hug.
"Oh my gosh, you're grown up!" Lillian hugged his younger brother.
"yeah, congratulations, Les! And to you too as well Penny!" Rebbeca said acknowledging Penny's present.
"Thanks Becky!" Penny thanked Becky, giving her a squeeze.
Six years later, the Twenty Nine year olds finally got married. Lester popped the question last year. Due to other weddings, the date they wanted was already full booked so they decided to what wait a few months more of the actual wedding but they weren't really complaining because they had more time to arrange the wedding.
Aaron Roy Dawson was born to Lester and Penny Dawson at 11:19 am on March 29, 2081.
Allyse Maree Dawson was born to Lester and Penny Dawson at 11:29 am on March 29, 2081.

On August, Aaron and Ally being nineteen is where all hell broke loose.
