...
"I think her name was," I smiled. "Juliana." Silence rang through out the bright room. "Well, I better put myself into the Zoo." I started to walk to the doors.
"Wait. Ana, isn't your first name Juliana." Holiday walked up to me slowly. The clack of her heels bouncing off the walls.
"Why?" I said as if confused. I turned to Rex. "Why does it matter anyway? I'm just an EVO, an undesirable." I felt a tear roll down my cheek. "My emotions mean nothing to anyone, not me, not Holiday, not even to my own brother." The tears fell faster. I fell to my knees. Something was tearing at my insides. I clenched my stomach. I fell to my side. The world faded.
"Ana. Ana, please wake up!" Someone shouted. I blinked. The familiar surrounds hinted that I was still in the base. I moved my head to the left and right. My body, for the most part, was strapped to the table. The straps were leather, which is hard to burn. "Ana, are you awake?"
"Uh huh." I muttered as I looked to see the voice. "Who is that?"
"It's me, Holiday." The voice sounded. "Rex is here, too."
"Am I still an undesirable?"
"Not at all, Ana." Holiday said.
"No, you were never an undesirable in my eyes." Rex said.
I sat up and broke the straps as I did. "LIAR!" I screamed. "Any EVO was an undesirable in your eyes. Just people would couldn't take care of themselves." I removed the straps arround my legs.
"Ana, get back on the bed." Holiday motioned.
"No. I'm leaving and finding César. At least he'll take me in. He'll accept me for me." I ran to the door and opened it. "Unlike, my twin brother." I ran out of the base. Desert stretched for miles. Lucky for me, César was landing. I stood at the edge of the landing strip. The air whipped around me, blowing sand up into the air. The wheels touched the hot asphalt, that burned my feet. I hardly noticed due to the excitement of César's craft landing. The door swung down and César stepped out. I ran to hug him. I swung my arms around his shoulders and squeezed tight, letting joyful tears fall. César pushed me away.
"What are you doing?" He said, confused.
"Hugging my brother." I wrapped my arms around him again.
"I don't have a sister."
"Rex isn't your brother?!" I felt a tear hit my foot.
"He is. I just don't have a sister."
"But Rex and I are twins. We were inseparable."
"I think the heat is melting your brain."
"I'm not crazy." I pushed past César. "I guess my family can't even accept me." I jumped into the air. I stayed; I walked along an invisible walkway. "Goodbye."
I walked and walked until I had to seat. I felt the coolness of the walkway radiating. I heard the whipping of a motor. I looked back towards the base. A black object was barreling towards my location. I ignored it, thinking it was a Providence ship going somewhere else. The vehicle slowed as it approached. I stood to see Rex on a hover bike coming to me. I hopped off the walkway. "Rex, what do you want?" I said as he stopped the bike in front of me.
"Family doesn't leave each other." Rex smiled.
"But, apparently to César, I'm not family."
"Well, now you can be a part of my Providence family."
"Even after all I did?"
"I destroyed a Mexican town. I think they'll accept you."
"Are you sure? What about César? He said," I started. I sighed. "He said he didn't have a sister." I looked down at my still exposed feet.
"Hey, you might not be my real sister, but you're still family." He smiled, as I did. "Come on, let's get back home."
"Race ya." I took off, running, tripping over myself. I hadn't got far when Rex rolled by on his bike. I made my own and chased after him. I past him when we got near the base. "I win."
"No fair." Rex smiled.
"How? You cheated."
"Whatever, just come meet my family."
"Speaking of meeting, give me a moment." I transformed the gown I had on to a pair of leather boots, a pair of jeans and an old rock 'n' roll tee-shirt. "Now, you know what I look like normally."
"How did you do that?"
"I don't know," I shrugged, "I have been able to do that since, oh, about five years or so." I shrugged again. "So are we going or not?"
"We are, I'm just trying to process this." Rex sighed, "Oh, whatever. Let's meet the folks."
We walked down a corridor to a door. Rex opened it. A monkey sat on the bottom bed of a bunk bed. He had an eyepatch and a tee-shirt. "Is this your new girlfriend?" The monkey spoke.
"No, I'm not his girlfriend, I'm his sister." I smiled.
"Uh, Rex?"
"What?" Rex sat down next to his furry friend.
"Why isn't she freaking out about my talking?"
"Yeah, why is that?" Rex turned to me.
"Oh, so he talks on his own." I sat in the chair across from the beds.
"What?"
"Well, the first thing I noticed was the ability to understand animals perfectly." I shrugged.
"So what was the next thing?"
"The clothes."
"Then the invisible jet?"
"Yeah." I smiled.
"So, she's an EVO?" The monkey spoke.
"No, I'm not an undesirable." I stood up.
"Yeah, um, don't mentions that around her, Bobo." Rex whispered to the monkey.
I calmed down before sitting, "So you're Rex's best friend and basically brother?"
"I guess." Bobo shrugged.
"That's cool." I shrugged.
"So who's next?" Rex clapped his hands together.
"Well, I know Holiday, so anyone else."
"How about Six?"
"Who?"
"Good. We'll visit him next." Rex smiled, "Let's go."
