The sun shone brightly down on the Mother Tree, the wind blowing through Sakura's night-black hair. It was a pleasant day, just like every day.  She was sitting on a bench, swimming in her thoughts. Recently, Sakura has been distant with her friends, before she was the life of the party but now she is one that never shows, that one friend who lies about being busy. Shae was going to earth on her 15th birthday June 21. Why couldn't she be moody? Everyone says how the earth is nothing like their home, how busy it is, and how much cleaner the Tree was.

"So," Aster, Sakura's sister said, breaking her out of her thoughts. "You really did change sis," She seemed to shake her head sadly. Aster was 19, she had decided to not go to earth. She had no reason the go, I remember when my parents tried convincing her.

"You can find love!", Aster was asexual, "You can make friends!" Aster already had friends, "You can get a job!" Aster was more interested in being a guard in the grand palace.  At That point, my parents gave up.

"Well, you wouldn't understand me, I am just too good for you," Sakura sighed. Aster rolled her eyes, seeming to say "As if," Sakura looked at the blue sky, it was filled with white cotton-like clouds. Aster crept behind her, wondering what Sakura was looking at. Aster rarely appreciated the little things. Aster likes changing the big things, Sakura could not relate. Sakura loved nature, she loved flowers and she loved the colors. Her mind went back to earth. "Would earth have nature?"

Aster's POV

Sakura was acting distant. During our "conversation" She seemed distracted, always staring off into the distance. I wanted to know what she was thinking about, I wanted to help as her big sister. But, I don't understand the fear of earth. I never went there, I never wanted to go there. Now, seeing my sister so worried, I wanted to go experience it with her. But I knew, Sakura was on her own.
