AN: Hi everyone! Luyon here. so I've been working on this story for a while now and thought I would give you guys a look. Before you read, however, there are somethings I would like you to keep in mind. FIRST, I had many inspirations for this story from movies, books, and games. for instance, the universe the story takes place in was inspired by Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy, and the alien races in the story were inspired by Monsters Inc., Pathfinder, and Star Wars. Second, it wasn't till after I finished the first two chapters and I watched Zootopia and realized the similarities with the story and charecters. I assure you that was entirely coincidental. And Finally, just know that while these thinks seem very similer at times, it is still a completely different world with original characters. So, with all that being said, I hope you enjoy this story and will let me know what you think. Thank you for reading.

Chapter 1

G.I.A., the Galactic Investigation Agency. After the intergalactic species allegiance act in 2311, the universal leaders decided to create an agency to monitor the activity taking place across the galaxy. And so G.I.A. was born. They were responsible for keeping track of policies and communications across the universe, along with maintaining and enforcing the galactic laws. To summarize, they are essentially space cops, but to become one is recognizable with the highest honor. And that was the goal of young Lily.

The year now being 2384, Lillian Kattswell, a young earthling born and raised in the small farming town of Bringsby, had the dream to one day leave her family farm and join the ranks of G.I.A. As a young child, she as always fascinated with the amazing place outside her planet. She had always wanted to get the chance to see the universe and meet all kinds of different species. Their town was very big and rarely encountered other species. The only time they did was when shipping trucks would come to pick up the recent crops and even then it was rare that the drivers were from other worlds. Lily was an energetic and optimistic girl, always seeing the bright side of things and worked hard to put a smile on the faces of the people around her. But even with that, she felt like her chances to leave the planet were near impossible. It was very rare that people were allowed to leave the planet because only a few jobs allowed galactic transportation, none of which were very appealing. As much as she wanted to travel, she wasn't going to get herself stuck in a job she hated just to do it. It would take all the joy and passion from what she loved. So she accepted the fact that she may never get the chance to leave.

Until one day.

Lily had just gotten out of school and had walked home. Seeing as how she lived on a farm, she didn't really get to relax after school and watch TV like most kids. Nope, as soon as she got home she had to finish all of her homework. Once that was all done she to do all of her chores and help her family on the farm. Being an eight year old girl, there was only so much she could help with but that didn't stop her from trying. She was part of a big family, with 6 brothers and sisters (at the time), and all of them aside from the really young ones helped on the farm. But none of them worked as hard as she did. She was always running from place to place, trying to get as much work done as possible, and would even go as far as to carry twice as much as her older brothers to get the work done faster, and to show off a little. This day, however, was different. Today was the day of the Annual Bringsby County Fair. This day was very special to little Lily, because not only was it a day that her parents didn't force her to do her homework or chores right after school, but today the fair was going to have a very special guest. None other than the famous and renowned General of G.I.A.'s Earth division, GEN. Nicholas Cain. Cain was the only human earthling to achieve the rank of general since the organization was founded. Multiple times he had gone beyond the call of duty for the peace and tranquility of the Galactic federation. He became highly decorated for his acts and greatly respected amongst the People of earth. He was truly a great man, but there was one thing that was confusing about him. Why was he going to some middle of nowhere farm town for a fair? This one of the many questions Lily wanted to ask him. She had been preparing her questions for months. She had everything from what was his reason for joining G.I.A to his favorite color ready to ask him. She felt she may never get the chance to meet her hero again, so she wanted to get the most information about him as she possibly could.

Her and her family had arrived to the fair and all of the kids hoped out of the large vehicle ready to explore and wreak havoc on the fair grounds. Before they could, however, there parents, George and Susan Kattswell, gathered them together in order to set the ground rules.

"Ok kids," their father spoke, "stay within the fair grounds and don't get into to any trouble. Your Ma and I will be over by the stadium, so if any of you need to find us that is where we will be. At 7 o'clock we will all meet up right back here so we can go to dinner then head home. Any questions?"

"What if I get hungry before then?" one of the boys shouted out making the rest of the kids giggle.

"You just ate before you came out here. You can wait till dinner," their mother said. "Now go and have fun kids."

Right as she had finished saying that all the kids scattered. As Lily walked along the fairgrounds, passing concession stands of all kinds, the only thing that she could think about was that she was finally going to meet her hero. However, there was one stand that caught her eyes and she couldn't help but walk over to it. The stand had all kinds of G.I.A. merchandise from toys to rare collectables. But she wasn't looking at any of that flashy stuff. She had her eyes set on a small piece of metal sitting at the front of the stand. As she got a closer look, she noticed it was a small badge that read 'G.I.A. JUNIOR OFFICER'. Something about that tiny little badge, seeing her reflection staring right back at her, made her eyes sparkle with admiration. She was so lost in its shine that she eventually started seeing the figures walking behind her. Until one stopped right behind her and got closer. As the figure got closer, slowly the figure got more and more vivid till finally her eyes widened as she recognized it.

"I can see you know real quality when you see it." She spun around quickly to find herself face to face with Nicholas Cain, her hero. She was excited, shocked, scared, and utterly speechless. While she stood there silently with wide eyes, Cain looked at her with a warm smile and asked her, "What's your name little one?"

Lily stammered with her words "L-L-Li-Lily, Sir."

Cain gave a small chuckle and reached up for the badge. He held the badge in front of him, looking at it and then back at Lily. "Do you want to become a member of G.I.A. on day?"

She couldn't speak. She could barely think. All she was thinking was her hero was actually talking to her. She lost control of her body for a second as her head started nodding up and down uncontrollably. Cain gave a good small laugh then reached over to pin the badge on her overalls.

"Well then I hope to see you at the academy one day," he said with a smile as he stood up straight and started to walk away. Lily couldn't believe that she wasn't saying anything. This was probably going to be her only chance to meet her hero and she couldn't say two words to him.

As he walked away, she panicked and shouted, "SIR?"

Cain stopped suddenly and turned to face her. She was so surprised with her outburst that she didn't even think of what she wanted to say to him. Her mind all scrambled, she said the first thing that came to her.

"What…uh….What made you want to join G.I.A.?"

He stared at her with a surprised look, you could tell he wasn't expecting that question, then gave her another warm smile. He walked back over to her and kneeled down to her.

"Well, partially I just wanted to explore the galaxy." Lily gave a small chuckle because that was what she wanted to do as well. Then he continued, "But the main reason I joined was because I wanted to protect people. I wanted to give people joy and hope for the future. Let them know that everyone in the galaxy can live in harmony."

Lily looked up at him with her eyes wide and her mouth ajar in aww, as if she had heard the most inspirational thing in the world. Cain chuckled under his breath and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Do you feel the same way?"

She then gave him a big grin and nodded in pure joy.

"You will make a fine officer on day."

As Cain started walking away again, Lily stood there in pure joy. She couldn't believe that she actually got to talk to her hero. Completely star-struck, she managed to make her way to the stadium where she found her parent and ran up to them.

"Hey there sweetie. Having fun?" her father asked. She was so excited that she couldn't even form words. She was just giggling uncontrollably and bouncing up and down. Her parents looked at each other somewhat confused.

Her mother chimed in, "Well you certainly look happy about something. Care to fill us in?"

Lily managed to calm herself down a little and looked up at her parents with a proud smile. "Mom. Dad. I've decided I want to join G.I.A."
