I'm only doing this because I'm extremely bored. And this song is always stuck in my head.

27-year-old Elizabeth Carson-Delgado stood outside on her deck overlooking the Pacific Ocean. She had her elbows propped up on the railing while she was lost in deep thought. Thoughts so deep that she barely noticed the gorgeous sunset that lay ahead. Everything over the past few years had come too quickly, almost like a blur. She almost couldn't believe it. She never would have expected it to turn out like this. She had gone from a common thief who lived on the streets to a caring, passionate wife and mother.
She reminisced all the time about how it all started. And it all led back to that certain place.
Two homeless teenagers sat in a downtrodden alley. After finding a sturdy crate to sit on, the girl, Z, spoke up first.
"Jack," referring to her partner, "we've been on the streets a long time together. I mean, you're my best friend, you're like my brother." She paused to change the look on her face. And her tone of voice suddenly modeled a Brooklyn accent. "And brotha, afta five years of doin this, I say we change careers. I mean, I'm tired of playin Robin Hood.-"
She was cut off by a homeless alien being in search of any item the couple had left to offer. After denying her of any clothes, Jack began to feel sorry for her and offered her his jacket.
At this point, Z became frustrated and stood up. She eyed him for an answer as to why he had done that. Jack began sputtering excuses left and right. Finally, he gave in. "Okay, okay, you're right." He stated. "We need to do something else." She backed down.
"If we're going to make a change, then we're going to have to be part of something bigger."
Little did she know that 'something bigger' would turn out to mean something much, much bigger than anything that had ever happened to her.
