It started as a fairly regular day. Got up, ate some breakfast, walked to school. For all known purposes, it should have been a completely normal day in the story of my life.
Instead, it was the one that changed it.
I realized something was up as soon as I strolled through the door. We were less than a month into the new school year and most of the school were usually outside, enjoying the nice summer weather. This day, however, everyone was inside, hovering around the monitor hung by the office that always plays the news. Curious, I wandered over, wondering what else had happened in this weird world of ours.
On screen were several spaceships that looked to be from Star Wars. It appeared that the camera was recording information from a telescope, making the view quite zoomed in. They were orbiting the moon and exchanging blaster fire back and forth. Five Repubilic ships faced three Separatist ones.
As I stared in shock at the screen, one of the Separatist ships was shot down and came crashing to the moon. It seemed to have been the flagship for the CIS because the other two turned and fled immediately.
Several small gray dots had shot out of the ship a fraction of a second before it crashed. They sped towards Earth. Three of the Republic cruisers gave chase to the fleeing battleships while the other two hovered in space. The camera zoomed back out and followed the path of the dots down to Earth.
The image switched back to a mans face. He was our local newscaster and looked just as shocked as the rest of us. "A-as you can see, our world is currently experiencing what some would call an alien invasion. These s-ships appeared only 20 minutes ago and while some have left, who knows when they might be back."
"Our camera crew are tracking what broke off from the fallen ship. I'm told they are most likely escape pods and are heading towards the nearby town of Barnsfield. We are warning people to please stay inside since we have no idea what might come from those things." Jonny Barkson wiped his sweaty brow. "That's all for right now, I hope we are still here later for tonight's news."
Internally, I gasped. I lived in Barnfield. I was there right now. And Separatist droids were supposed to be crash landing there any second? Without another thought, I rushed outside. Screw school, I had Star Wars awesomeness to see.
