AC 187
After a failed attempt at maintaining the colonies,
the Alliance began to make procedures to evacuate the colonies in AC 186, after
a year and a half their plans were executed and in less than five months the
colonies were evacuated and being prepared for demolition. And now on New Years
Eve, the world will watch as their failed attempt of living in space comes to a
halt.
In a church near Toronto Ontario, Canada:
Father Maxwell walked into the Church only to find
the young Duo sitting in the first pew praying. With a warm smile he walked up
to him and sat next to him.
"How are you adjusting Duo?"
Without opening his eyes or even moving Duo
responded.
"Fine I guess. It sure does have a lot more space…"
"That it does, that it does." He said
absent-mindedly looking forward.
"Father Maxwell?"
"Yes Duo."
"What did they do to the graveyards on the
colonies?"
"I would imagine that they moved the graveyards down
to Earth."
"And what if they just left them there?"
Duo then looked up and straight into Fathers
Maxwell's eyes. His gaze was emotionless and very intense, Father Maxwell was
taken aback how he differed from the cheery and rambunctious young boy he
normally was.
"Would that mean that my… parents and friends would
get destroyed tonight?"
Father Maxwell's eyes began to mirror sympathy into
Duo's and he slowly shook his head.
"They would never do that Duo, I wouldn't allow
them."
Duo smiled and then stood up off the pew.
"I guess we better go join everyone else."
"Yes, let's."
Then to two joined hands and walked to the back of
the Church where sister Helen and the other orphans were celebrating the year
turning 188.

A boy with gravity defying bangs sat on a bench in
the Orphanage. He was there because the Military was sick and tired of having
"Nanashi" wander around with them, so they dropped him off at the nearest
Orphanage as soon as they could. It had been three months already. Probably the
only good thing that had come from all this was a girl named Mandy, an older
kid about eleven years old. She was one of those kids that no matter how bad
their past, could not only put on a smile, but also forget all the bad things.
They hung around each other a lot, and though the conversations were often one
sided, they got along pretty well. So Mandy had decided to teach the young boy
how to play an instrument.
The process was hard for her, because she couldn't
play one herself. So they both decided to save up all their money, buy a
guitar, and then learn how to play it. At first it was going to be a flute,
then Mandy pointed out germs. After long discussions they had decided on the
electric guitar.
At the moment Mandy was off taking care of one of
the younger kids, so he was pretty munch spending New Years Eve alone, again.
He always felt alone, no name, no past, no friends, no family, no-
"No!"
"Huh?"
He looked up and saw Mandy running towards him with
a look of horror on her face.
"I…I…she just… and then… oh my god…"
Mandy then instinctively sat down and curled up into
a ball of some sorts and began to rock back and forth.
He was shocked, Mandy, one of the kids you would
never expect to break down, had just done it. Curious to get to the bottom of
it all he walked back the way she had come running to him from, he walked into
a room and gasped.
There on the ground was Kelley. The girl was maybe
about five years old with almost white hair and blue eyes. She was lying beside
a table and her neck was oddly bent.
He covered his mouth and left the room.

"I have no meaning now."
"You'll think of something."
"I have no reason to live anymore."
The eight-year-old boy stood in the doorway, his
cobalt blue eyes as expressionless as usual. There Dr. J stood throwing him
out, and he was quitting at the same time.
"Just… don't kill yourself. I'm sure there's
something out there for you, maybe you could pick an instrument up."
Then Dr. J cackled and slammed the door on the young
boys face, he turned around wearing all that he possessed, and in the snow and
cold made his way to a shelter.

As the clock hit midnight, all
the colonies were annihilated.
TO BE CONTINUED…
(Short ne? But that's only the
prologue; the other characters get into this later. Fear not. I don't know what
to say really, except I'm not too sure how long this will be, but hopefully not
too long. So this is my first fic, please give me some comments; it'd really be
appreciated! Well, I've gotta go return some tapes, ja!)
