Hello again guys! This is a new story (again). No, I have not abandoned my other stories, but I just want to see this idea come to light.

Title: Space Revelations

Premise: A space adventure about 17 (or 18)-yr olds, where a surprise will come up at some time in space. Or is it really a space adventure? You have to wait to find out.

No, this story has nothing to do with House of Anubis, well, except for the characters, of course. I just decided to use the characters to create an entire new storyline about space travel, so there may be no Egyptian gods and myths, or anything like that… Let's just wait and see.

INTRODUCTION

Eddie's POV

My mom was crying uncontrollably as she was looking at me pack my things. Honestly, I don't understand why she was crying, but I need to comfort her before I left home for the spaceship that would take me towards outer space, which will then head back to Earth after we complete our objective.

"Hey, Mom. Don't cry. I'm just leaving for a while, and soon we'll be back. I promise to see you the moment the spaceship touches down here on Earth, okay?" My mom just nods.

I sit for a moment, looking around the house for anything that I may have forgotten to pack in my suitcase, when my mom reminds me, "Eddie, you don't want to miss your spaceship, now, do you?" "No, of course not, mom… So, I think it's time for goodbye." My mom nods, and comes to hug me more tightly than ever before.

"Be a good boy in space, Eddie. Okay?" She forces a smile. "Yes, Mom. I'll be a good boy." I feel a bit embarrassed at being called a boy at this age, and Mom seemed to notice, so she chuckled a bit.

"Bye, Mom. See you when I come back!", I wave to her, and she waves back at me with a smile that seemed… content. I shrug, then walk towards the spaceship launch site.

I am really happy to have been accepted into the Walker space program. I couldn't have been more ecstatic to be a part of this program, which promised us a different experience from Earth. At least, that's what the ad said. Not that it was easy being a part of this program. I had to be physically prepared for the difficulties that outer space had to offer, which meant almost a year of training for me and the other hopefuls. Luckily for me, I finished the training and was chosen to be one of those who will be a part of the space program.

Nina's POV

"… and the most important thing of all, be safe. Out there is such a dangerous place, and I wouldn't want you to get hurt." My grandmother reminds me for the last time, her advices. "I promise.", I assure her as she gives me a tight hug. When she let go of me, she tells me, "Now, off you go, before the spaceship leaves." "Okay, grandma. Goodbye!" I leave our house to take a train heading to Strandville, which was where the spaceship was going to be launched.

While in the train, I think of all the things I'm going to leave behind. My friends, my stuff that was not in my suitcase, and of course, my grandma. How will she do without me? She told me she'll be fine, but I wasn't sure she would be okay. I still decided to leave because this was an opportunity of a lifetime. Going to space, without any expenses whatsoever seemed like a great idea to me, even though I had to leave everyone here on Earth. Besides, we were returning in a year's time. How hard could it be?

A ding sound interrupts my thoughts, as I realize the train had already reached Strandville. I leave the train and walk to the launch site, which was actually pretty close to the train station. That was a bit of a surprise.

I am looking forward to see the others who will be on this spaceship, and be friends with all of them. I am also looking forward to the roles we will serve on the ship, which will be given to us by the leader of the program, shortly before liftoff.

Jerome's POV

We (me and my younger sister Poppy) are here in the 'repatriation shelter' (which jails were now called) for the last time, to bid farewell to our father. While waiting for him to come meet us in the 'meeting room' (Where inmates and relatives meet and talk), I think of the events that preceded this.

Somehow, I and Poppy both ended up being chosen to be a part of the Walker space program. When we both decided to try out for the program, we made a bet to see who was better once and for all, but now that we both made it through, that discussion would have to be settled another day.

"Hey kids!", my dad was clearly very happy to see us both here. "Hey dad!", we both greet him at the same time. He reaches out to embrace us both.

"So, what brings the Clarke family here?" My dad looks at both of us, eager to know what came up this time. "Dad, remember the last time I told you about the Walker space program?" "Yeah, of course, son. What about it?" My sister buts in, and exclaims, "We were both accepted, dad! Isn't it great?" My dad widens his eyes. "Really? I'm so proud of both of you, for how you turned out to be. My kids, both astronauts?" His smile was beaming. "Well, not exactly, dad. But you can call it that."

We talk for a bit, catching up on things he missed since the last time I visited, and soon it was almost time for him to return to his 'repatriation shelter'.

"So, kids, when are you leaving our very own planet to explore the skies above?", my dad asks me. "Actually, dad, it's tomorrow." "Oh, really? That's great. Just don't forget to have fun, yeah?" "We won't forget it, dad!"

It was time for us to leave, so we bade farewell to dad, and went to the airport, where an express plane provided by the Walker space program will fly us straight to Strandville, North America, for lift-off.

It was a mostly quiet flight to Strandville, as I played video games with Poppy on the plane's game suite.

"Wow, this plane is like a hotel, isn't it, brother?", my sister asks me as we take a break from gaming, which, by the way, I was winning, albeit only by 2 points. "Yeah, it is…" I look at the flight attendant, then towards Poppy. "Hey Poppy, let's do something fun. Do you know what I mean?" Poppy looks at me, and nods. She clearly understood what I meant. I ask the flight attendant, "Miss, can we do whatever we want while we're here in the plane?" She studies me for a moment, then responds, "As long as you don't jump off this plane or anything, then yes, you can." I grin, and in the corner of my eye, I see Poppy smile mischievously.

(An hour of pranks later)

I was still laughing at what just happened. We decided to have a food fight, and surprisingly, the flight attendant did not stop us. What was more surprising was that she decided to join in on the fun, and according by my judgment, I think that she even won the food fight.

Eventually the laughs died down, and we realized that we have made a mess. The flight attendant points us to the shower room, so that we would look 'decent enough'. I head towards one shower, while Poppy heads to another shower room.

Once I finish my quick shower, I come out of my shower room, and I was shocked to see the room was as clean as it was before we decided to make a mess. Nobody could clean a room that fast, I was sure, especially not that flight attendant. I decide to ask the flight attendant about it later, when she finishes her shower.

When she came out of the shower, I ask her about it. Her response, "Oh, cleaning is all automated in this plane. It only takes about 5 minutes for the process to complete. That's all I know about the cleaning systems, sorry." So, something like that existed. I wonder why I have never heard of it before, but then this plane was really high-tech, with a lot of things I have not seen before, so I was not very surprised.

We sat down at the remainder of the flight as we not-so-anxiously waited for the plane to touch down at our destination. The pilot then greets us with some news, "We are landing in Strandville airport in 10 minutes. Thank you for flying with us."

A few minutes later, we walked out of the plane. I felt a little sad for leaving that wonderful plane, but we had to go to the launch site and prepare for outer space. Believe it or not, it was my childhood dream to go to space one day, and now it would become a reality.

Amber's POV

"Amber, how many suitcases did you pack? Are you nearly done packing?", I hear my dad ask from the living room. "I only got 5 suitcases, dad. I'm finished packing." "That's good, because the chauffeur is already here to pick you up." "Okay, dad, just a sec!"

I check myself on the mirror, fix some minor flaws, and come out of my room, with all my suitcases in tow. The chauffeur helps me place the suitcases on the vehicle.

"Bye, dad. Bye, mom.", I call out to them as I was about to leave. "Bye, Amber. We'll miss you.", my parents reply, as my mom wipes a tear from her face, and my dad trying to control his emotions. Then we were off to Strandville, at least that's where I think the spaceship was.

Honestly, I did not know how I passed all the tests for me to be included in this program to space, but I did. It was really difficult, but I really wanted to be in that spaceship. I wanted to see space. And most of all, I wanted to prove myself to people, that I'm not just some pretty girl, that I had skills too.

I kept myself busy inside the vehicle by checking out all the new fashion trends, while listening to some music. I got bored halfway through the trip, and decided to get some beauty sleep.

I stir up, and realize that I was still in the car, which seemed to be in a stop. The chauffeur notices that I just woke up. "Good morning, Amber. We are now here in Strandville, if you haven't noticed." He sees the look of worry in my face, so he quickly adds, "Don't worry, the spaceship is still here. The launch site is right outside. Do you want me to help you bring your suitcases to theship?" Oh my god, I have overslept! It was a relief to know that the ship was still there, or else, I would be in huge trouble. "Thank you for the offer sir, but I think I can manage the bags on my own."

The chauffeur unloads the suitcases from his vehicle, then I start dragging them towards the ship. I regret my decision to not accept the chauffeur's help immediately.

Fabian's POV

"Hey, dad! I have to get going now!", I yell to my father, who was trying to fix our television. He walks towards me, then tells me some very inspiring words. "Fabian, if I were you, when you get on that ship, I would quit staring at your e-books, and go get a bunch of friends instead. Preferably girls. You know what I mean?" "Yeah, dad. I get what you mean. But I'm there to learn more about space, not chase women." I reason out. "C'mon Fabian, just quit the books for a year, will ya? Have some fun, like everyone else." He motions out his hands to no one in particular. "Okay, dad. I'll try." "Now get going kid, before your service vehicle decides to leave you for someone else." "Bye too, dad."

I leave our house then walk to the train station, where the people from Walker space program chartered a train for me to ride on. When I arrive there, I realize that my neighbour Mara was boarding the train too.

"Mara, you're going to Strandville too?" I ask. She nods, then asks me, "Are you?" "Yeah, I am. I didn't know you were going there." "Well, it's good you're going there, Fabian. Now I have someone I know who's going to be in space with me." "Ditto."

Mara's POV

I'm glad that Fabian was going to space too. Now I did not need to be alone when I get there, and besides, I now had someone to read with. We were just friends by the way.

The train was speeding towards Strandville, while we sat down, talking about what we were leaving back at home. Not that I had much left, really. But I do miss my brother Danell. He was very happy for me, but I knew deep down inside, he was sad that his only relative would leave for a year.

Our topic shifted towards our plans when we are in the ship. I had a lot planned on the trip, really. And I made a to-do list to make sure that I wouldn't forget.

(Hours of mindless chatter later)

The train comes to a stop. I hear a voice in the air, "Last stop. Strandville. We are pleased to have you on the ride. Please ride with us again. We leave the train station and walk towards the launch site, which was visible in the distance. We still had time to waste, anyway.

Patricia's POV

"Hey, Trish. Are you ready to go?", Piper asks me, clearly in a very joyful mood as we were leaving home. I was happy too. Finally, we get to leave this place. My parents were also happy, not for us, but because we were leaving. That left them to themselves and they would now have the freedom of each other. I'm happy for them, I guess…

"Yeah, I'm ready. Can we go now, Piper?" "Sure, sis. Whatever you want." We leave the house without our parents even saying goodbye to us, as if I expected them to say goodbye anyway. We drive towards the airport to the plane waiting for us to board. As we enter the plane, I immediately spot my favourite food, chocolate cake. I did not even realize how cool the plane was, until Piper mentioned it. "Wow, Trish. This is the greatest plane I've ever seen in my life." I roll my eyes, then I realize that she was right when I do look around.

"Wow, Piper. You're right. This is some plane they have." "I know, right. It's so beautiful.", Piper replies. We are interrupted by the pilot's voice on speaker. "Ladies, we are preparing for takeoff. Please remain seated for a while as we stabilize, then you can roam after we get to level altitude." I roll my eyes. The pilot was stating the obvious, and well, it was… stating the obvious.

Once the plane was in level altitude, I walked towards the chocolate cake and started eating it. Piper noticed what I was doing and laughed. "Really, Trish? The first thing you do on the plane is… eat chocolate cake?" I try to respond with my mouth full. "This chocolate cake is really good…", but it sounded like, "Hmm-hm-hm-lay came-m mm-ly goob." At that Piper just laughed more. I glare at her, in which she just shrugs.

Once she finally settles down, she sits next to me and tastes the chocolate cake I was just eating. "Hmm, this is really good.", she commented. "Told ya, Piper, but then you were too busy laughing to listen." "You have to admit, that was funny!", Piper remarked. "Fine. Maybe it was funny. But that does not give you the right to laugh at me like that." I told her. "Sorry, sis. Maybe I will laugh more next time."

I managed to eat almost ¾ of the chocolate cake, which gave me a somewhat uneasy feeling in my stomach, but it was all worth it. Piper, meanwhile, ate all the remaining cake, and after that, she went to sleep. She must have been really tired, considering that I was feeling tired too. I also fall asleep moments later, overcome by tiredness.

I rub my eyes open as I sit up from the sofa in the plane, which was apparently where I fell asleep. Piper was already awake, and she was dragging our suitcases towards the plane's door. Oh no, the plane must have already landed in Strandville. And I slept through the landing.

"Piper, wait!" I run towards her as she starts to walk out the plane door. "You're awake, Patricia. Sorry for not waking you up, you looked adorable sleeping.", she commented, at which I roll my eyes. I take my bag from Piper as we walk towards the launch pad of the spaceship.

Alfie's POV

"Alfie, are you sure you want to go to outer space? You have not yet packed your suitcase, you know.", my mom reminds me. "Yes mom, I'm going to pack now!"

I figured to just throw my clothes to the suitcase, as folding it isn't worth the time. I also pack my favorite things, which I decide to place on my backpack, separate from all my other things, which belong to the suitcase. In less than an hour's time, I finish packing, so I leave my room to say goodbye to my dad and mom.

"Hey, kid. Be good in space, okay?", my dad tells me as I am about to leave home. "Sure dad. You can count on me.", I assure them. "We do, kid. We do count on you. Now go, before your mother reverses her decision to let you go see outer space."

I leave home and hail a cab towards the airport. Once I reach the airport, I look around for the plane where I'll be riding on. It took me a while before I found it, and I was genuinely surprised. It was an Eagle V-13. A freaking V-13! A.k.a. the fastest passenger plane ever made, that can reach speeds up to Mach 5.0. I know, I specifically mentioned the plane in the form I answered, on one of the questions that read, "What transport vehicle would you like to be on when the time comes? Specifics recommended.", but I never expected it to come true. I mean, not a lot of people have ridden the V-13. It was a hard-to-ride plane, to say the least.

I place my suitcase on the plane, and we were off to Strandville, where the launch site was. The ride was calm all throughout, which surprised me, considering how fast the plane was going. It was so worth it.

We reach Strandville in a little over two hours time, in which I thanked the pilot for the wonderful ride, and then I walk towards the launch site, where the others were waiting.

Joy's POV

I check to see if everything was in place inside my 2 suitcases, then I leave my room to say goodbye to Dad. Not that I needed to, but I just wanted him to know that I'll be away.

"Hey, dad! I'll be heading out now!", I yell towards him, while he was watching a live soccer match on TV. "Shhh! Don't disturb me while I'm watching, Joy! Just go and don't disturb me again, okay? Go nag your mom." I shake my head, as I leave home. I had expected my dad to say something like that, but that didn't mean that it didn't hurt. I wanted to cry, but I had to get going, or I will miss my flight to Strandville.

I bring out my micro-cell phone and call mom. She picks up at first ring. "Hey, mom. I'm on my way to the airport.", I say with a sad tone in my voice, which she picks up immediately. "I'm sorry for not being there, Joy, but I'm stuck here at work. Now, what did your dad do this time, sweetie?" "He told me to... just go so that I-I wouldn't disturb him while he was... uh, watching football.", I say, choking up in tears. I just felt like my dad did not love me at all. I was grateful mom was there to love me.

"Don't worry, Joy. Be positive. You're going to space, right? Don't let this dampen your mood. I thought you were excited to go?", my mom comforts me. "I am excited, mom. It's just that... You know what, mom? You're right. Thanks, mom." "You're welcome sweetie. Now go, experience the opportunity of a lifetime, okay? For me..." "Okay, mom. Goodbye."

I felt somewhat better after the call, so I get in my car and drive towards the airport. Once there, I look for the particular flight stated on the ticket I was holding, and once I've found the particular flight, I board the plane. I was happy, knowing that the guys at Walker space program respected my wishes to take a commercial flight, instead of a private plane that they had in store. Sure, it was THE world-class airline WC Travel Airways, with first-class tickets, but it was really nice. I enjoyed the whole trip, which I could not really say about the other plane trips I've been through.

Once the plane lands smoothly in the tarmac, I leave the plane and decide to take a tour of the place before heading to the launch site. As I took a commercial flight, I was a day ahead of the scheduled arrival of the passengers for the spaceship, which gave me some time.

First thing I noticed about Strandville, North America was that the status of living here was better than in Newton, British Islands, where I came from. I have to say, I really enjoy the place.

(a day of exploring later)

I start heading towards the launch site today, taking a leisurely walk along the sidewalks of Strandville, which and high-tech advances in it. It was really cool.

When I got to the launch site, I realize that the spaceship was huge. Like, really huge. It seemed like it was capable of housing more than 10000 people, which was odd, considering that the guys from Walker space program specifically told us, "There are only a few of you chosen to partake on this mission.", but I shake it off, not wanting to think about useless things like that. I just have to be grateful that I was one of the lucky ones.

Mick's POV

I have decided to bring my basketball to the trip, after spending minutes deciding what to get onboard the plane. My soccer ball, my football (American), or my basketball? Once I decided, I was ready to leave for Strandville, North America. I go say goodbye to my parents, who were waiting for me downstairs.

"I guess this is it, dad.", I say, knowing what was about to happen. "Goodbye, Mick. Don't forget to stay fit, okay?", my dad replies. "Of course, dad. How could I forget? I guess, I'll see you soon." "I hope so.", my mom replies, at which dad nudges her a bit, and they both smile. I'm a bit puzzled, but I shake that thought off my mind, as I leave for the train station.

I ride on the FasTren, which was the quickest mode of transport to Strandville from home. I try to think of happy things, like how cool it would be in space, and the unique experience I would have, but I still find myself staring out the window sometimes. I feel a little sad for everyone I left at home, especially my parents. My dog, Conan, notices so he licks my hand, while wagging his tail, to make me feel better. I smile, forgetting for a second that Conan was here with me. Somehow the people at Walker space program agreed to let me take Conan, my dog (breed Japanese Spitz), with me, which was a surprise.

(a few hours of train later)

I exit the train, my suitcase, basketball and dog in tow, and hail a cab towards the launch site, which was visible because of the huge spaceship where I presume we'll be in. When we get there, I realize that the spaceship was bigger than I thought it was. It seems the others others think the same thing, judging by how they looked onto the ship.

(Nobody's POV)

The people from Walker space program call out the few people chosen for the mission, and assign them a role each in the plane...

Wow, that was an awfully long introduction. Easily the longest chapter I've published in all of my stories. What do you say?

Do you want me to continue this story or not?

Now guys, if you do want me to continue the story, I do need your help in deciding the roles in the spaceship.

List of people in the ship as of the moment:

Eddie, Nina, Jerome, Poppy, Amber, Fabian, Mara, Patricia, Piper, Alfie, Joy, Mick

Roles in the ship:

Pilot, Captain, Assistant, Navigator, Engineer, Mechanic/Maintenance (2), Supply Officer, Janitor, Other Crew (3)

And yeah, as others say, reviews make a writer happy, so I'll say it too.

Hope you like this story...

PM me if you want me to tackle on an idea to make into a story.

Peace...
