Transformers: Legacy

An overture is a work preceding an opera, oratorio or any other large scale work.

Overture

This is a tale of a girl, who, like all heroines, started out as a perfectly normal human. Except that, as all heroines, she is special, in her own way. Her name, is Alise Witwicky.

Alise and her parents, Sam and Mikaela Witwicky, now 40, as well as her sister, Eliza, live in Singapore! Surprise, surprise!

Alise is in her final year in Junior College, which one I'd not name, but just know that she is in one. So, here's where the story begins. (Note: I did not say this was how it all began.)

11.59 pm, Monday 31 December 2029- Alise's room.

It was that time of the year again, when there was the annual countdown.

Alise stared out the window, unable to sleep due to the commotion the whole nation was unanimously making.

Soon, she told herself, this would be over once the fireworks end.

And sure enough, the fireworks went off halfway cross the island, and Alise had an unrestricted view despite the skyscrapers.

A few seconds later the echoes of the sparks reached her ears, telling her the New Year had officially began.

Again.

To Alise, and probably half of the rest of Singapore's teenagers, a new year meant more irritating exams and stupid teachers.

Literally.

Not that she was all anti-school; she loved school and learning, but how could she trust the schools if half the time she manages to point out the teacher's mistakes?!

8 am, Wednesday 2 Jan 2030- Assembly.

The hall was filled with familiar and unfamiliar faces of year 2s and year 1s, some happy to be back with their friends, others miserable to be back in school and already anticipating the end of year exams.

Basically, there was chaos.

Alise jumped up, trying to find her best friend Vicky's head within the sea of black heads.

Before she could, the bell rang, and the national anthem played as part of the daily rituals of typical singaporean students, followed by the pledge, school song, and in some schools, the school pledge. After morning announcements, the Principal, who shall remain unnamed, stepped up to the mike, to do the ever-dreaded principal speech.

"A very good morning to everyone. I trust you had a pleasant holiday?" she paused, expecting an answer.

None came, but she continued anyway, "We welcome a new year, and welcome back our year 2s, as well as our new year 1s. Looking forward to the future, we can expect..." Alise tuned out, and tuned in to her neighbours' conversations.

There were those about holidays, vacations, as usual, others about things she didn't want to know too much details anyway, so she shut them out. What a great start to a year.

"YO!"

"Vicky!"

Victoria was a short, funky teen of 157cm, and the was a crazy person Alise had never expected could exist. Last year she had come to school in extensions of all sorts of colours...

10 am, Wednesday 2 Jan 2030- Physics class.

As usual, Vicky sat beside her in her favourite class of all time. Physics- the explanation for all happenings. Alise especially liked astrophysics, where they learnt of stars and of their explosion in space.

"Eh I don't understand this can you explain to me?" Vicky groaned and asked, not bothering to whisper.

Alise groaned. Understanding was one thing; explaining was harder. She didn't know how, Vicky would eventually understand the circles she's been going in when explaining.

Good thing she doesn't take Chem with me... Alise smiled and replied, "Sure..." (I don't know what they learn in JC so I'll skip the explanation)

So... That's the overture for you. How?? Whatcha think?
