I was lost. Lost in the forest and scared. I learned in schol that they hadn't put any bad animals here yet, but I was still mortified about the dark. The warm, tropical air danced on my skin as the wind pushed forward, as to escape from somthing. I could only stare in disblief at what I was seeing. Was it a ship? No, my father said all the ships have the flag on them. If it wasn't a ship, then what was it. I looked closer, and saw. A flag I knew so very well; the Allied States was on Madrugada. I thought this was UFSA only territory, but then again, it could be tourists. But why would tourist need rockets... I wondered. Then, as if an angel had come to save me, my mother pulled up in her car, her face a wreck.

"Marcia!" She yelled. I was so happy to see her, that I was about to cry. She ran up an hugged me saying I scared the everloving crap out of her. That didn't bother me though. I was worried about the ASA ship. When I looked back at it, it was gone.

The ride home was the worst. My mother kept on talking in her car about why she got so terriied, and that I should never run off like that again. Then silence as I only stared blankly ahead. I turned and asked her, "Mom, did you see that ship?" She looked at me like I was crazy, and only said "Did you hit your head?" I looked at her with a blunt stare, and that was the only words spoken before utter silence. When we arrived at the house, I noticed that dinner had been eaten, and I was left out. I ate what mom saved me, and went to shower. After putting on some comforting clothes, I searched on the internet about the Allied States Space Authority, and their locations. The only one in the Neptune orbit was a company called "EcruFox" who owned a space mining platform at the offense of the UFSA. I didn't think much about the run in, until later that week.

I was walking hme from school one day, and I saw a giant peice of steel flying. I looked closer in disbelief, and then noticed it was also on fire. Then, I noticed it wasn't flying, it was falling. It soon hit the ground with a massive boom, and the ground zero? My home, where my brother, mother, and father were waiting for me, so we could go get my birthday dinner. I was broken. I was empty. Following the crash, what seemed like millions of smaller vessels soon stormed the atmoshpere, and they all held the banner of the Allied States.
