After lunch everyone decides to see the city and our parents let us. Polaris is actually quite beautiful. There's plenty to see. The mansion looks amazing from here, with its marble exterior and blue roofs. The rainbow of glass buildings include many shops and restaurants to explore. Everything smells delicious and everything looks beautiful in the delicate flurry that just began. Everything feels so cozy and homey. In fact, I feel more at home here than in Warrirarcia. "We have something awesome to show you," Ocean says.
Ocean and Dylan's parents drive us to the outskirts of town since they have a break from meetings. We see a sign that says "Welcome to the Borealia Nature Preserve." I look around and see a tundra for miles. I've never seen this much open space. I've also never seen this many animals. We see hares, caribou, and we even see a lynx. It makes me feel like I'm a part of something so much bigger than us.I whisper, "Is all of Celestia like this?" "Quite a bit of it," Dylan replies. "There are environments even more plentiful and diverse than this one," he explains
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"I can't even imagine what that would look like."
"Maybe you'll see it someday."
"I'd love that."
We talk for a while more and then Ocean and Dylan's parents come back to pick us up.
Later that day, my family and I go on a plane back to Warriarcia. As soon as we get on the plane, Dad says "I'm glad we're out of there. I hate spending time with Celestians. They have the complete wrong idea of life."
I ask, "Are you sure?"
