It was a normal day in the world on October 6, 2009. But in the middle of the day, the entire world blacked out for two minutes seventeen seconds, and they all got glimpses of their future, on the day April 29 2010. Everyone in the world blacked out, except for "Subject Zero" and, as the LA Unit finds out, Ashlyn Blue. Ashlyn's story is played out below:

Chapter One

"Ashlyn!" Ashlyn Blue's best friend, Cassie Lyons cried when she saw Ashlyn get on the stinky yellow school bus. Ashlyn walked past rows of screaming kids on blue polyester seats, until she got to her usual seat, which was in row eleven. She got the aisle seat because Cassie gets on before here.

"Hey Cassie; oh, before I forget, you don't need to pick Annabel up from school. My mom's going to pick her up so she can go home with Indie." Annabel is Cassie's five-year-old sister, who is best friends with Ashlyn's little sister, India, a.k.a. Indie. Cassie's smile was extremely fake, like one you use on school picture day.

"That's awesome! Now I have no excuse to why I can't do all of Alexis and my science project! Tell your mom I LOVE her, Ash!" Ashlyn smiled sympathetically.

"Aw... Now I feel sorry for you! That's not nice, Cassie!" Ashlyn whined, punching Cassie playfully on the arm. They both smiled.

'You should feel sorry for me! I have to spend the afternoon with Alexis Meyers, whining into her phone about what date she went on late week." Cassie remarked, rolling her eyes. Ashlyn thought about Alexis: she was the 'it'-girl of William Taft Middle School, every sentence she ever said came out like a whine, and she's a real snake.

"She's a snake." Ashlyn stated. Cassie looked at Ashlyn with an expression that said 'Excuse me?' "She's cold, slimy, and she bites." Cassie's face twisted into a smile.

"Nice; Alexis Meyers, cold hearted snake." Cassie said, adding another snake-like trait of Alexis.

"Oh, that's a good one!" Ashlyn cried. But no one heard her, because they were all slumped over in their seats.

"Cassie?" Ashlyn said, frantically shaking Cassie. "Cassidy Angela Lyons! WAKE UP! Everyone, WAKE UP!" She shouted, but no one heard her. Ashlyn heard nothing after this because, to her horror, the school bus slammed into William Taft Middle School, sending Ashlyn Janie Blue into the front door, glass shattering around her, killing many. They all saw their future, except Ashlyn.

Now, will Ashlyn even have a future?
