Alex P.O.V.
We were walking through the jungle, and it's beautiful. I hear a woman talk trough a radio to someone.
"You heard right, three, an adult male, a teenage girl and a 5 year old girl" the woman said.
"Copy that Lutenant Washington" the voice on the radio said, so she's a Lutenant.
Maddy and Zoe were walking in front of me and Josh, Zoe has grown so much.
"We missed you" I looked at Josh and smiled.
"I missed you guys too" he smiled, Maddy looked back at me and smiled, I smiled back.
"How was school work?" I asked her, her eyes began to shine, I giggled. She hasn't changed.
"You really had to bring that us didn't you?" Josh asked, I nodded.
"That's a good question, it's going really well, how about you? Did they let you finish physics at the military school?" she asked me, I nodded.
"Yeah, they did, but they still trained me as a solder. I don't know, they could have send me to a home or a foster family, but they send me to a military school, and they made me finish my studies and I even had to do extra." It was weird, they gave me more stuff to do and extra hard training.
"Was it hard?" Josh asked, I nodded.
"Yeah, I got the hardest things to do, other got 1 to 2 hours shooting, I got 5." He snorted.
"They had hopes for you." He said.
"Yeah and it paid off." I said.
"You did great back there sweetie" Dad said, I smiled.
"Thanks" Mom looked at us worried.
"What did she do?" she asked in that English accent I missed, I really missed my family.
"Well, she took out a guard, and took his gun, then we made a run for it!" he said, Mom looked at us in disbelieve.
"Oh, one got me and I broke his nose" I said, laughing a little, Mom looked at me in disbelieve.
"Good going Alex!" Dad sad.
"Jim!" Mom said sternly.
"What?" Dad asked, we laughed.
"Jim, do you think that they will let you sit out your time?" Mom asked, I looked at Dad.
"Well, I hope not. I'm not scheduled to be released for another 85 million years" Dad said, I laughed.
"Don't worry I'll visit you" he smiled at me.
"I hope so, It's gonna get boring" Mom rolled her eye.
"You two always joke around don't you?" I and Dad laughed.
I walked back next to Josh "Are those clouds?" Zoe asked, Josh was carrying her. I looked at her.
"Yeah Zoe, they're clouds" I said, she kept looking at them.
"They're so bright" she said, me and Dad looked at each other, we were gone for 2 years and I was hoping that she still remembered us.
"Hey, um… Zoe? I know we were gone a long time but… you remember us… right?" she looked at us, then the earth began to shake, and you could hear a cry from a… dinosaur, wow it's so… frightening. We all duck and looked around, the military rubbed off on me, I wish I had a gun to feel a little more safe. There was another cry, it sounds so close.
"Allosaur, switch to sonic, just keep moving" a solder said, but he looked to be a little more important, since he ordered a solder around.
"Allaosur, is that a carnivorous type?" Josh asked, I smirked.
"Yup!" I said popping the 'P'.
"Uh… were getting close" he said while we walked further.
We walked into a part that was a little more open, a rover drove past us, you could see them at the military base too.
"Hey, welcome to Terra Nova" a solder said driving by. There was a big wooden fence that looked ready to crash down if a big T-Rex would pass by or something even bigger. But it looked good, there were watchtowers and soldiers to keep guard along with big sonic guns. Another rover drove past.
"Welcome!" he said. The wooden gates rose up and we walked inside, we stood in front of a bog sort of hose, the doors opened and a man walked outside, I think this might be Commander Taylor, they thought us a lot at the Military. He walked to the balcony and looked at everyone.
"Citizens of 2149! I'm Commander Nathaniel Taylor, but you probably already know that. Congratulation, each one of you is taken a first step just as I did 7 years ago, toward a new beginning. Together, we are at the dawn of a new civilization. No pressure, the world you left behind fell victim to some of the basic instincts of our species. Greed, war, ignorance… we blew it. We destroyed out home. But we have been entrusted with a second chance, a chance to start over. A chance to get it right. Welcome to Terra Nova folks, welcome home." He said, I smiled and we all clapped, I already respect him. A solder walked to us.
"Taylor wants' to see you, your husband and the girl-" he said looking at me, oh I'm screwed. "-but not the other children." He finished. We followed him, I looked at Maddy, Josh and Zoe.
"We'll be right back." Mom and Dad said. We followed him and I immediately straightened my back and put my hand behind my back, we had to stand like this and walk like this at the Military. The man pointed to a open door and we walked inside. The woman on our way here was there too, Lutenant Washington, yes her.
"Dr. Elisabeth Shanon, a medical doctor, doctor in science and neurology, bacteriology and other ology's I can't even pronounce –" Mom interrupted him.
"Commander Taylor, i –" he interrupted her.
"What I don't get is that I also sais here that your husband is currently serving a six year lock away in Golad prison, and that your oldest daughter is at a Military school and yet… here they are. And with a third and fourth child in toe. What am I to make of this?" he asked.
"Look, um this was all my idea, okay? Elisabeth didn't even know." Dad said, Commander Taylor walked around his really cool desk, OMG I want one!
"Didn't she… a man doesn't escape from Golad prison without the help from the outside. Or maybe some help from the Military." He said, looking at me and Mom, I kept my cool, and I stood straight to show that I'm not afraid.
"Um…they weren't gonna let us bring Zoe or Alex here, so there was no other choice." Dad said.
"Law kept families with two children and you have a third and forth, you got coughed and you-" he turned to Dad "- took the fall, along with your daughter. The thing is really don't care about laws from another time. What I do care about is whether or not an individual is of use to this colony. A doctor and a solder we need, escape fugitive, not so much." He said.
"Commander Taylor all were looking for here is a fresh start. We just want to be a family again." Mom said.
"Well, Dr. Shannon we are pleased to have you. Lutenant Washington will show you to your kids and you older daughter will wait outside, I'm gonna have a private word with your husband, and later her." He said, me and Mom walked outside, I stayed at the door, I stood like one of the solders, they sometimes looked at me but didn't say anything. I saw one smiling a little.
"What?" I asked him, he looked at me.
"You were in military right?" he asked, I nodded.
"Yes, i finished it in two years but they wanted to keep me longer." He looked a little taken back.
"Two years? It normally takes 4 to 5 years" he said.
"They gave me special training, I had to do everything more and harder than the others." He nodded understanding.
"Then you must be good." He said, I nodded.
"I broke the record of most correct shots in one minutes." He smiled.
"Wow, did you do anything else?" he asked me, I nodded.
"I studied physics, they have me extra work every day. Were they this hard on you?" I asked him, he shook his head.
"Nope, only you" I sighed.
"I didn't catch your name." I said, he extended his hand to me.
"Mark Reynolds" he said with a smile.
"Alex Shannon" I said shaking his hand, we let go.
"You can come in now" Dad said, walking past.
"Well, se you around solder." I said, Mark smile and shook his head. I walked inside. Commander Taylor was sitting at his AWESOME desk! Oh, why don't I have one?!
"It says here that you finished your studies in physics and other things that I can't pronounce like you're your mother's ology's and that you finished the military training in two instead of 4 to 5 years." He said, I nodded.
"Yes sir" I said, he smiled.
"I also read that you are a prodigy, understanding a lot and being good at a lot of things, you even finished your studies of 6 years at the military." I nodded.
"They were very strict and I got more studies to do and finish earlier that the others." He nodded.
"I will give you a choice, you can be a solder here or a physics. I's your choice completely and I won't interfere." he said.
"Um… if it's okay, I would like to do both." He looked a little surprised.
"And why, if I may ask." He asked.
"Because, I love physics and I understand them, but I would also like to protect this colony, as you said in your speech it' a new start and we should all work together and make the best of it." He smiled at me.
"Very well. You will work at the physics department part time and also as a solder part time. I'm counting on you solder." He said, I smiled.
"Thank you Commander Taylor."
"Reynolds!" he called, Mark walked inside.
"Yes, Commander." He said.
"Take, miss Shannon here to her family and show them where they will be staying." Commander Taylor said, Mark nodded.
"yes, Commander. Will you please follow me, miss Shannon?" he asked, I nodded and followed.
"Good bye Commander." I sad and walked away. We walked down the stairs. "So, it's Miss Shannon ey?" he smiled.
"Just for now, so you gonna be a solder?" he asked.
"Yeah, but only part time, I'm gonna be a physics also, so you won't see me all the time." We walked to my family, Mom looked at me worried.
"What did he say?" she asked while we were on our way following Mark.
"Well, he gave me the choice to be a solder or a physic and I chose both. I'm gonna be a solder part time and a physics part time." Mom looked worried "Don't worry Mom, I'm gonna be fine." I said.
"Your quarters are here. The new quarters are over there. There is a PX down that way for supplies. Some of these unites are not finished and some haven't been painted yet. Here we are." he said, we looked to our left to see a little house.
"This Is ours?" Mom asked.
"If you need anything, just let us know." He said, I smiled.
"See you around solder." He smiled.
"See you around Miss Shannon." I smiled and ha walked away.
"Zoe come on" Mom said, we walked inside and it was beautiful. It was so bright and there was so much space.
"I get the room with the most windows!" Maddy shouted running into a room. Mom put Zoe down.
"I get first pick!" Josh said.
"Sais who?" Maddy asked.
"I'm the oldest." He said.
"Hey, I'm the oldest too!" I said walking into a room.
"Well, I'm 2 minutes older than you." He said, I pouted.
"No fair!"
"I can't believe they gave us the M7 model." Maddy said.
"I know, it's awesome!" I said, I walked into the living room that had a kitchen.
"It's not bad right? Throw some paint on the wall's… get a rug or something." Mom said.
"Do they have rugs here? You know a nice dino runner would be great down the hall way."
"Oh, a T-Rex would be nice, you know with the head still attached on it to scare other dinosaurs away." I said, they smiled and Mom turned back to Dad.
"Jim, we did the right thing didn't we? Coming here." Mom asked.
"Mommy, there is no room for me." Zoe said, I crouched down to her level.
"Don't worry Zoe, there is no room for me either."
"We'll figure something out sweetie." Dad said, she looked down. Dad looked at Mom "She doesn't know us." He stated.
"The last time you saw her, she was barely 3." Mom said, I looked at Dad and me smiled. Dad crouched down too.
"So, we need to find a bed for… oh what's your name again?" I brightened.
"Martha!" I sand, Dad smiled.
"Yeah, that was it!" Zoe shook her head. "So we need… oh no?" he asked.
"Persila, that's it!" I said. She shook her head again and laughed a little.
"Not Persila huh?" I asked she shook her head.
"Oh wait I got it! It's…. Zoe" is aid, she smiled and nodded.
Dad too her hand "Oh, well, hi Zoe, my name is Alfredo" Dad said.
"And I'm Margarithe." I said, Dad took her hand to shake it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." He said, she laughed and took her hand away "What?" Dad asked.
"No it's not." She said, me and Dad looked at her.
"Well, what is it?" I asked, she looked at Dad.
"Daddy." She said, I smiled as Dad kissed her fore head, she turned to me.
"Alex." She said, I smiled and hugged her.
"I missed you so much Zoe." I said.
"Okay, so it's settled. Me and Zoe get one room and squeeze a bed in. And Alex and Josh are twins they can share a room." Maddy, said.
"Hey, let me see too!" I said following them, we looked around in the room. "You have a great room Zoe" I said, she smiled, I looked outside the window and saw something "Hey, Zoe. Wanna go outside? I think I saw something." She smiled and we went outside.
-Meanwhile-
"One big happy family, like nothing ever happened" Josh said.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Elisabeth asked.
"I guess were suppose to just forget about the last years we had to fend for ourselves cause Dad was in jail."
"Josh!" Elisabeth said.
"That's enough!" Jim said.
"Admit it Mom it's his own damn fault! If he hadn't lost his cool and punched that cop he might have just gotten away with a fine and Alex wouldn't have been send to the Military! Have you even thought about that?!" Josh asked his father.
"Hey, were not gonna stand here and argue the past with you, pkay? We're starting over… as a family." Jim said.
"Zoe! Alex! Has anybody seen Zoe or Alex?" Maddy asked.
Alex P.O.V.
I looked up and saw a Brachiosaur, they're plant eaters. He was eating leafs off of a tree, I took a branch that was on the ground.
"Look Zoe." I said as I held the branch high, the Brachiosaur bend his neck down and took the branch eating it, I looked at Zoe who was smiling brightly "You take one" I said, she took a branch and I took her in my arms and held her higher. The Brachiosaur bend down again and took the branch, I held the branch a little more and the dino pulled us of the ground "Woah!" I said, Zoe laughed.
"Zoe! Alex!" Dad shouted. I let go and landed on the ground with Zoe in my arms, I put her down. Mom and Maddy bend down to Zoe's level and I looked up at the Dino as he ate the leaves and there were more coming. We took more branches and fed them to the dino as more people came to see them.
It was night, we squeezed a bed in mine and Josh's room, he was looking at pictures of him and Kara. Dad was standing at the door.
"Night." He said, Josh looked at him and went back to look at the pictures.
"Jup" he said, I rolled my eyes.
"Night." I said and smiled at him, he smiled too and walked away.
