The Outer Limits

Chapter 1

In the year 3050, two humans known as Queen Serenity and King Endymion ruled Tokyo. It was a world of peace and tranquility, the Negaverse hadn't shown up for over 50 years and no one thought it ever would.

It was 7:50am at the Nictoka house a 16-year-old blonde was still sleeping away, dreaming a wonderful dream. In her room the light from the sun was shining through her window onto her bed. The bright light woke her up a little and she turned over and fell back asleep. The girls' mother was in the kitchen cooking breakfast for the family. When her mother could get a chance to leave the stove she would call up to the blonde still sleeping to get up. Back in the girls room an alarm clock was going off. The girl opened one eye slightly and turned off the alarm and closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

"Amanda!" her mother yelled, "If you don't get up now you will be late for school!"

"Mmm…" the blonde grumbled as she sat up and sighed, "I'm so tired…oh well, school ain't gonna wait for me so I better get moving…"

"Amanda!" her mom yelled again.

"I'm up!" Amanda yelled down the stairs.

"Hurry up, it's already past 8:20."

"Okay mom."

Amanda continued to get ready for school, wearing her uniform, typical of the Japanese schoolgirl, and her black shoes she came downstairs carrying her book bag.

"Morning mom." Amanda greeted her mother.

"Good morning dear, are you hungry?" her mother asked.

"Not really." Amanda said as she went into the fridge for the milk, "Just a glass of milk will be fine."

"You really need to get up earlier Amanda." her mother lectured her.

"I know, but I like to sleep." Amanda whined.

"Then go to bed earlier."

"No thanks." Amanda said with a smile.

"Mom, I'm hungry…" a little brunet girl walked into the kitchen.

"At least one of my girls are hungry." Amanda's mother laughed.

"Oh leave me be mother." Amanda got up to put her glass in the sink, "Well I better get going."

"Bye Amanda!" the brunet girl said with a smile.

"See ya Tressa." Amanda picked up her bag and went out the door.

As Amanda walked down the street towards the school she felt a sudden heavy body on her back and around her neck.

"What are you doing! Get off of me! Are you trying to kill me?!" Amanda asked the 16-year-old brunet girl who had pounced on her.

"Maybe..." She said with a smile.

"Susan!" Amanda screamed.

"Just kidding! Come on smile a little more would ya?" Susan laughed.

"Shut up Susan."

The two girls walked to school talking about all kinds of gossip and many other things.

When the two girls arrived at school they went to homeroom and sat with their other friend, Stacey Keya. She was their age and had reddish hair that she puled back into two pigtails everyday. The three girls chatted until their teacher came in, which meant that class was going to start.

"Attention class, we have a new student today. Please help me in welcoming Carlos West from South America." the teacher announced. The boy walked in, his hair was a dark brown and his bangs hung into eyes that were beautiful blue. He wore the boys' school uniform, it was a simple pair of blue pants with a long-sleeve top with a lighter blue collar and cuffs. He took a vacant seat behind Amanda, Amanda immediately sat straight up and started to turn red.

"Amanda you okay?" Susan asked who was sitting next to her.

"Uh huh." Amanda said with a shaky voice.

"Okay class time to take role." the teacher said as she took out her book. The teacher began to call names and the class started to get loud again.

"Hey, what's your name?" Carlos asked Amanda.

"Huh? Me? You're asking me?" Amanda was turning red.

"Who else would I be talking to?" Carlos said with a smile.

"Uh…her." Amanda said as she pointed to Susan who was talking to Stacey.

Carlos laughed, "Well then, Blondie, what's your name?" he asked.

"Uh…" Amanda suddenly found it hard to talk, "My name is uh… My…My name is…"

"Spit it out already." He smiled.

"Uh…right…" Amanda tried again, "My name is Amanda Nictoka, it's a pleasure to meet you" /Oh my God that was horrible! /

"Well, hello Amanda Nictoka, as you know my name is Carlos West. I hope we can become good friends."

"Uh…yea, me too." /Shut up Amanda! You sound like a love struck fool! /

Carlos just smiled and turned in his seat to meet everyone else.

After school that day Amanda heard a male voice calling her, she hoped with all her might that it wasn't Ted or Carlos. She hoped that it was one of her friend's boyfriends Leon or Tommy but when she turned around it was Ted, the one guy she really didn't feel like talking too. Ever since their break up a year ago he hasn't left her alone.

"Go away Ted." Amanda said annoyed.

"Come on Amanda, let's hook up again please! I made a mistake in cheating on you with Nicole. Please forgive me, I want you back please!" Ted pleaded

"How pathetic!" Amanda laughed, "You have to beg someone to achieve something?"

"I'm not pathetic, I just love you and want to be with you until we die."

"Oh yuck! Get away from me would ya!" Amanda turned around and started to walk away but soon after she was taken to the ground by a heavy body, "TED GET OFF OF ME!"

"I love you Angel…" Ted said in a sweet tone.

"GET THE HELL OFF ME AND DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME THAT AGAIN!" Amanda pushed Ted off of her but in her anger lost control of her powers which caused strong winds to occur, "Stay away from me you hear that! Do you understand what I tell you!? I hate you and I always will, don't test me. I could kill you with one blow Ted, just one blow!"

The winds continued to get stronger blowing harder and faster, trees were bending more than they should, papers and trash can were blowing all over the place. Leaves and twigs were all flying around then suddenly it all just stopped. Amanda's eyes went blank and she fell down unconscious. Ted, scared by what just happen, got up and ran. Susan, Stacey, Leon, and Tommy, which had experienced the stormy weather also, came running to Amanda's aid, this wasn't the first time she had lost control of her power to control the wind.

Carlos came around the corner to see a group of people surrounding someone or thing. He quickly ran over to see what it was, when he saw it was the blonde he had met earlier that day he immediately wanted to know what happen. A blonde haired guy stood up and told Carlos that is name was Leon and what had happen to Amanda was nothing to worry about. But Carlos still worried about what happen, so he asked again.

"What happened?" Carlos asked worried.

"I told you nothing happened." Leon told him again.

"Then why is she out cold?"

"Uh…" Leon couldn't come up with an excuse.

"Now, please tell me what happened." Carlos asked.

Leon looked at Susan and everyone else, they all nodded in agreement.

"If he's so interested in knowing then he cares unlike most people in this school." Susan told Leon.

"Okay." Leon turned back to Carlos and told him that ever since Amanda was young she has had this power to control the wind but she has never been able to control her powers from releasing when she gets angry or very depressed. She's a very troubled child and doesn't have anyone who can teach her how to control it because her father, who helped her learn how to control it, died when she was 8 years old. Her mother tried to help her but didn't do very well, so Amanda was forced to learn how to control it on her own. When she met us and we saw it for the first time we were only 11 years old the 5 of us, but we found a way to over come the power she had. Until today we still haven't been able to get her to control it very well, but she's much better than she was 5 years ago.

"So when ever she gets really mad or really sad she loses control of her powers?" Carlos was trying to make sure he understood.

"Yes, and that's what happened here, she lost control of her powers because Ted aggravated her. So in the end she fainted from using so much of her power." Leon explained.

"I see, so will she be okay?" Carlos asked looking at an unconscious Amanda in Susan's arms.

"She will be, she just needs to rest. Then she'll be back to normal." Susan smiled at him reassuringly.

"Good." he said with a smile than walked away to go home.

"He's very strange." Stacey pointed out.

"And you aren't?" Amanda said gaining consciousness.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Stacey pouted.

"Nothing, nothing at all. That was Carlos wasn't it?" the girl asked.

"Yea, I think he likes you" Susan teased while helping Amanda up. The blonde turned red."

"Shut up." She glared.

"Common I'll walk you home." Susan offered.

"Okay, thank you all for staying with me." Amanda thanked everyone and walked to Amanda's house. Susan and Amanda talked a little than said their good-byes and Susan left. After Amanda couldn't see Susan anymore she didn't go inside. Instead she walked to the park. When there she found a tree away from most people in the park and leaned on it.

"/Dad…I wish you were here. I miss you and I need help controlling this power…"/ Amanda stared at her hands in a daze.
