So, I have had complete starkid writers block for ages, but this idea came to me a little while ago and I HAD to write it! There are so many stories about Taz's life, Up's life, Bug's life etc But what about February? I thought that she deserved a life story so... here it is!
Like the month But a person!
"Today's topic is: Jobs! I" the old teacher stood up and wrote the title on the board with a large flourish, "I want you to all tell us about what you want to do when you grow up." all the children smiled excitedly, eager to tell their thoughts.
The woman turned to face them "So, who wants to go first?" Every hand shot up in the air, they were called on one by one, all shouting jobs such as Teacher, doctor or pop star. The last girl was tall with Blonde hair; she sat in the corner staring up into space whilst clutching a cuddly unicorn.
The teacher signed, almost regretting the decision to ask every child. But nonetheless, she repeated her question "February? What do you want to be?" February moved faster than Draco Malfoy when confronted with the potty. She announced proudly and clearly;
"I wanna be a Schience Officer!" The laughter echoed through the room for around half a minute, February looked stupidly round the circle, happy that so many people liked her idea. The teacher had to make several gestures with her hands to get the class to quieten down again.
"Are you sure you want to be a Science Officer? Not a supermodel? A princess? Anything that would fit your um… personality and 'skills' better?" February shook her head and stared as if the teacher was an idiot, of course she wanted to be a Science Officer. Why would she lie about that?
"Yeah, I totally do! Would I make that up, or what? I don't even?" February began to get worked up and confused, so she went to sit down again, picking up her unicorn from the floor. She didn't understand why people found it funny that she wanted to be a Science officer. She was pretty, she liked schience-y stuff! What else did you need to be one?
When the lesson was over, February packed up her rucksack and walked out the door, she only lived a few block away, so it didn't take her long to get home. Today was different. There was a large noticeboard outside the school, covered in leaflets and posters for different clubs and companies. Normally She didn't care about the stuff on there, they were all just a bunch of people using big words she couldn't understand just to get customers. But today, there was a big poster overlapping all of the others. It was bright blue and had a pattern of stars, which of course February loved, she liked sparkles. Across the top in big letter it was written:
The Starship Rangers
Are you interested in Space, travelling, fighting and science?

February almost started screaming, this was amazing! Of course, she didn't understand all the long words like 'traverse', but she got the basic idea. She began to run. This was it. Those kids would see that she wasn't stupid, she would become: A STARSHIP RANGER!
