Doctor Andaka Takimoto, normally called Andy by her friends, was standing in front of the mirror brushing her long black and blue hair. Her almost identical twin, Arie, entered their room with a yawn.

"You shouldn't have stayed up all night writing again," Andy scolded.

Arie shrugged, "Once I get into a story it's hard to stop. Some coffee and I'll be good to go." She threw her black and green hair up in a ponytail after running the brush through it once.

Andy rolled her eyes, "At least it's the first day of classes, all we have to do is pass out the syllabus."

"Breakfast is ready!" One of their roommates called through the door. Though Andy and Arie owned the house, they rented out the other rooms to other professors at the local college. They'd all become friends and had been living together for a few years now.

Hiroki looked up from the paper with his big brown eyes before throwing it down on the table with a growl, "They're still trying to sign the Non-Human Identification List bill. It'll force us to come out, or if not, get arrested."

Dark brown haired Hibiki came in, hair a mess and still dressed in pajamas, "Maybe we should go into politics?"

Andy chuckled as she sat down, "Problem is, they don't want to listen to our kind. People are too stuck in their ways."

"We just want to live normal lives though," Blonde Kiko entered, a backpack slung on her shoulders.

Andy sighed, "I know. I just hope, for our students sake, they don't go through with it. We can try to find other jobs, but if they're bullied or forced out.."

"Why don't we start a school just for nonhumans?" Hikaru entered.

"We'd be just as bad as them, trying to keep us separated," Arie pointed out.

Andy quickly finished eating, "Well, until they sign the bill, we don't have to worry too much." She looked around before yelling, "Akasa?! It's time to go!"

Her teaching assistant suddenly appeared with a grin, "Ready."

Andy sighed before heading out the front door, Akasa following behind.

"One final year then I can be a full professor," Akasa smiled.

"Just don't go stealing my job," Andy chuckled.

The day went by quickly, and when Andy got home, the rest of her friends were gathered around the TV.

A news reporter spoke, "The bill has been passed through the House and Senate. The President is about to sign off on it as well. This will create a large change in the lives of everyone, whether it's the Non-Humans who have to sign up or for the humans who will now be able to see if their friends, coworkers, or even family aren't what they claim to be."

Andy let out a growl, "They can't be serious!"

Kiko let out a sob, "We're going to lose our jobs, aren't we?"

"You know we'll do everything we can to prevent that from happening.." Andy sighed, sadness washing over her.

The reporter continued, "Non-humans have two weeks to sign up. If found as non-human after that, it can lead to arrest."
