The wheel of stars, how it always leads us home eventually. Karma is ever
present; our past actions will be there to catch up to us, for better or
worse. As humans we have been bound to this fate, some try to cope by
calling it 'original sin'. We weren't born with it, no matter what anyone
says it is important to understand that this punishment was earned long
ago, not by some guy named Adam, not by his servant named Eve, but by our
own soul, but we like to make up stories to place the blame on somebody
else. Funny how we tend to stray from responsibility, always dropping into
somebody else's hands, throwing reason to the wind. Eternity is an awful
long time; I just don't understand why so many people make it their life's
mission to screw it up.
Here at the end, or so you would think, nearly everyone has done everything in their power to shove the blame into someone else's lap, all except five young ladies, who unknowingly made all the right moves, did all the right things, and gave those cynical politicians the ride of their lives. But nothing is ever truly over.
As they blasted out of the atmosphere, and looked back at the earth, to which each knew they could never return, a blanket of peace settled over them. Who cared what Jupiter was like, what dangers would come, as long as they were free? A long time ago, a group of old, Christian white guys got together, united for this same cause, freedom, and a hell of good that did the world. Those men caused more grief than any other empire the world ever would face could ever imagine, these men single handedly laid the true foundations for the end of the world. Hope they are happy now.
As body bag after body bag passed through the school entrance, the American History teacher felt her heart grow heavier and heavier. So much death, and she knew it would happen, she knew some travesty was soon to occur, history is bound to repeat itself, many times if its people cannot look back, and prevent the mistakes. She couldn't help but think that somebody had yet to reveal themselves, today wasn't quite over yet. Her intuition was dangerously correct, as a certain Mr. President drove up with his fancy secret service, and shoved his way into the building...
She followed him, going the other way, scrambling undetected onto the roof behind him and his posse. She was coming up behind one of the men in black, but another spotted her, and shot. It was not the teacher, however, who was struck, and it went past her to the right, straight through the agent she was sneaking up on. The man, forsaken by one of his most trusted colleagues, did the only thing he could think of in his anger, and shot him back. However, this bullet also did not reach its intended target, for the other man realizing his cock-up dove out of the way as the fire was returned. The shot also hit the person to the right, who just happened to be the president himself. He stumbled, turning to face his attacker, seeing his shocked protection squad, and a stunned woman, before he fell backwards off of the building, and landed head first on the ground. Shot down by his own guardian.
The school eventually returned to normal, and resumed classes the next year. The survivors of the crisis had to undergo extreme therapy, and many committed suicide through grief. The fallen teachers were replaced, and the others happily returned to work, all except...
The American History teacher ran for president, with the English teacher as her vice, she took the 2004 election by storm. She was on an independent party, and used her money wisely, so she didn't waste it in useless advertisement like the other candidates insisted on doing. She spoke the truth, which was something the American citizens desperately needed to hear. The 2005 mandatory draft was averted, and with the new cabinet the country began to gain strength. Funding was put to better use, and in the years following, one of her funded projects discovered a new, safer, cheaper, and by far more effective type of cancer therapy than had ever been thought possible, and soon everyone around the country was becoming healthier. The national deficit was slowly shrinking, and the banking system had gained a lot of power since she had the fraud company Rock Financial closed down when they were caught with insider info, and she put all of the invested money into the bond and stock market, further decreasing the debt. Osama bin Laden was found dead in a cave, and the world rejoiced at his passing. With the 'Axis of Terror' mostly dissolved, efforts were further focused on the home turf, and the crime rate was exponentially decreased. The water crisis was averted, by an ingenious new system devised by Calley's younger sister, who had taken up a career in Marine Biology, and had come across the filter system when studying mollusks.
As the blue world below them began to turn around, things on Jupiter were also improving. The old system of taking on hosts to reproduce was replaced, when during an experiment the new queen gained the ability to have live young, and when her fertility ran out, and a new queen was born, a set of young drones was there to keep the cycle going. With a balanced society of females and males, the shape and behavior of the Aliens was changing rapidly. Each passing generation was becoming more and more humanoid, due to the original exchange between the girls and their partners, who have now long been deceased, so it goes. They became more civilized, devised a new set of languages, writing system, and good exchange all centered around their devotion to the 'Moon Goddesses'.
The girls had settled down to watch the species evolve, finding it best not to intervene. Each claimed a set of moons to reside over, and were worshipped by the Alien clans that existed beneath them on the churning planet. Their palaces, built by the loving Alien followers with crystal, and ice, and shimmering rock, mounted the heavens, their gleaming spires kissing the stars. It was a lonely existence, but somehow it was better this way. They flew to each other often, visiting, chatting, watching the primitive world develop.
Ray took residence on Europa, guarding also Leda, Elara, Ananke, Thebe, and Adraesta. Rey lived on Io, watching over Carme, Pasiphae, Callirhoe, Aitne, and Taygete. Cate took only a few, the larger Ganymede, Isonoe, Sponde, and Chaldene. Kate had Chaldene, Pasithee, Thyone, Euanthe, Harpalyke, and Praxidike. Calley however, was the most devoted to her moons, indulging in their peace and solitude, and did not visit as often as the others, making her home on Callisto, of course, and Amalthea, Erinome, Kalyke, Eurydome, Megaclite, and Kale. They lived as queens, watching the ever-turning wheel of stars. Fin.
