Inseparable (linked to the Colouring pencil universe story)

I'm Janet and I live in the Uk. I've got long brown hair, brown eyes and mixed race skin. I wear pink because I'm part of Love, on the Emotions we've all been matched with or born into.

Tomorrow, I turn 16 and I'll have to go to the Emotion Mirror hall in London to get scanned. For as long as I can remember, the world had been separated by white brick walls and a train that travel to each corner of the world on one track.

I looked at the mirror and saw myself. People that have the Love Emotion love one another and show it through acts of kindness and compassion.

I do feel love but I feel other emotions too and I feel like the odd one out; like I don't belong here.

My birthday arrives and I walk outside with my parents and sister to the hall where all of Emotions gather to get scanned. We all sat in a waiting room as each name was called out.

'Janet Dango' a lady's voice said.

I walked inside the opposite room as the door closed behind me.

Four beams of light hit the ground in front of me as I walked towards the golden mirror.

'Janet, I'm Evy (pronounced Evie) and I'm your monitor' a young lady with long blonde hair and blue eyes wearing an orange dress said. She was from Caring in Belfast.

Belfast had Caring, Innocence, Envy and Honest, New York had concerned, Calm/Wisdom/Confidence/Loyalty(also known as Aqua Tear-Blue-), Friendly and Elegance, Canada had Anger, Creative (Paint for life) Random and Concerned(yellow) while the UK had Caring, Determination(Gold flame of Determination and persistence), Love and worried.

'Stand in front of the mirror and Obey the scan' Evy said as the mirror scanned my body and showed a dark purple colour as my emotion.

Inseparable appeared in dark purple writing on the mirror.

'Your emotion is Random' Evy said. 'You're in grave danger, Janet' Evy whispered.

'What's Inseparable?' I asked.

'It's when you can't separate two people from each other and that could damage the whole system. Don't tell anyone about your scan, Janet' Evy warned as I went out of the scan room and into the Decision hall.

We sat in groups with our families. 'Hi, everyone. This is the greatest day in history when all of the young people make their decision. Remember chose the emotion that best reflects your personality, good luck' Nero, a guy wearing a grey, dull suit with brown-grey hair and brown sharp eyes said.

' Nora Finale' Nero called out as I saw a girl wearing random clothes walk up to the stage with an orb of light and picked the random emotion.

'Random' He said which made everyone in that section cheer and clap.

Then it was my friend Bingo, who I thought was loveable in every way, who was up next.

Then to my surprise he chose…

'Determination' as everyone wearing gold smiled at him as he sat with them.

Then it was my sister, Helen who had brown eyes and brown hair, next.

I thought she was a bit of a brat really but then she chose…

'Anger' to my horror as my mum and dad watched helplessly as she sat with the people in red.

Then it was finally my turn.

'Janet Dango' Nero said.

I walked onto the stage and grabbed the orb of light.

I looked carefully at each emotion object: Chain was for Innocence, red stone fist was for Anger, Pink heart was for Love, Sun was for Happy, Glass was Envy, Hammer was for friendly, Worried was the Tree, flame was Determination, black velvet was Elegance, beads was Honest, Random was Red Maple leaf with a purple exclamation mark in the middle and Creative was light purple paint.

I moved my hands towards Love but then I place the orb of light over the maple leaf symbol. 'Random!' Nero said as I went over to the miss-matched people wearing miss-matched socks and clothes. I need to find my own path I thought as I looked back at my parents; My dad was smiling but my mum was not as we all walked out towards the speed trains to go to the Location of the chosen Emotion.

I saw the grey train moving and raced to catch up to it as the others were already on the train. I held on to the handle and climbed inside, shutting the door as fast as possible.

'Hi, there. I'm Nora' the girl who was wearing a pair of green pyjama bottoms with a purple woolly jumper and an orange baseball cap with 'YOLO' on the front worn backwards.

'Hi Nora, I'm Janet' I said.

'I'm originally from Creative so I like to draw as well as being random through my clothes' Nora said.

'I'm from Love but I like to write stories and say random things like 'Cookies!' or 'Cheese' at odd times' I said.

'I think this is the start of a wonderful friendship' Nora said as the train sped onwards.

'Hey, there. I'm Fox Learn, from Honest' a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes wearing Indigo clothes said.

Nora just stared at him in a love-struck way.

'I'm Janet and this is Nora. Nice to meet you, Fox' I said.

'This is the part where we jump!' Hopper, one of the Random people yelled.

Me and Nora looked through the window and saw a spectacular park with benches, weeping willows and a lake. One the right, next to it was a huge building with rainbows, peace symbols, flowers and the red Maple with the purple Exclamation mark in the was at the centre of the wall while the rest of it was cover in sky-blue paint.

'I guess that's our new home' Nora said.

'Yeah' I said.

'Now's the time to jump!' Hopper said as he swung open the door and jumped onto the roof.

'One… Two… Three!' I chanted as we jumped at the same time and reached the roof.

'To test your randomness, you have to jump into the purple hole' Hopper said.

No one moved.

'I'll do it!' I exclaimed.

'Are you mad?!' Nora cried.

'Nope, I'm Random!' I corrected her with a smile as I jumped into the purple hole which turned out to be a long slide into my new, random home.

Then everyone else slid down to join me.

I saw a randomized office-like place with cartoon picture hanging within golden frames, respect in purple writing and Golden stars on the walls.

It was Random, my new home.
