When I woke up, an insanely loud noise was whirring outside. I looked out the window and saw a mini blue ship hovering in the air. The golden edges glinted in the sunlight. I rubbed my head and cracked my neck.
'Woah, how stiff are your bones?' Ria teased. Her hair was up in a loose bun as she put on new earrings. They were small but still golden. I smacked her with my pillow. I felt arms reach around me and I froze. Persephone's head leans on my back.
Yawning, she says, 'Good morning. You smell good.' I suddenly remember something and push her away. I run through the open door and stare at the ship. I frantically point at it, but Marco laughs and tells me it's ours. I blink hard and slump in relief.
'Oi, stop acting like a jackass and come inside! You need to dress up,' Ria yells.

'This. This- little shit picked me such a bad outfit.' Ria grumbled, pulling at the dress that Mira made her wear.
'I think it looks good on you,' I laughed and Ria made a face. My own clothes were a bit out of my comfort zone, too. I had a dark red tank top on and a shiny jacket up to my elbows. My pants were out of the question.
Persephone got out of the dresser and twirled to show off.
'I actually picked mine,' She smiled, her tongue pressed up against her sharp teeth. Everyone stared. Her style was cool, a dark skirt covering her tights, and a short sleeve top connected to it. She had zips on her thighs and arms that are right above her tattoos. But the only person here that can pull off anything is Mira. Her hair had been cut short into a mohawk, gold ink was embedded on her cheek in the shape of a star and she was wearing a dark jumpsuit. I grunted as she caught me staring. She laughed calmly and I blushed.
'I wonder what the boys would think of, um...'Persephone trailed off, skipping to the back of the room. I stopped her before she could get there. I asked her what she meant. I was being dead serious, and Persephone could tell.
'Well, the boys seem to be mainly attracted to you, Aurora,' She smiled weirdly. I raised my eyebrows. I shook it off and Ria looked at me as if I was the most oblivious person in the universe.

We were loading onto the ship, but I felt like I was forgetting something as I ascended up the giant ramp. The charm from Marco! I quickly ran back to the house. Marco stopped me in my tracks.
'Forgetting something?' He asked, the jade necklace hanging from his finger. I sighed in relief and took it gratefully from him. We walked together into the ship, Marco taking his place next to Noah while I stood close to the cockpit.

'You little- ARGH. Why do you need to make my life so shitty? JUST WORK.' I heard Ria yelling at something. I go over to her and try to calm her. When she sees me, I raise my eyebrow and point at her.
'Oh, right. Yea, that was a set up so you can come here. I know you'd never come if I just called you.'She smirked, and I opened my mouth in disbelief.
'Ok, sit,' She demanded, so I sat in the co-pilot's seat. She adjusted herself to half face me and half face the screen.
'Who's caught your eye?'She asked with arched eyebrows, 'I mean, you've lived 200 years and probably never dated anyone, right?'. I looked at her, because this was a question that no one has ever asked me in the entire time I've lived.
'Well, I don't know.' I lied. She sensed this and nudged me. 'Oh, come on. I see the way you look at Mira. Admit it,' She said, dodging as I swatted her. Mira heard her name and came in.
'You called my name?'She asked, and we both shook our heads in unison. I had my hand on my mouth to stop me from laughing. She left and Ria burst into laughter.
'You can't cut the tension in here with a knife! HAH, you definitely have a crush!' She didn't stop laughing even after I had pretty much beaten her up.
'Ok, ok, fine,' She said, checking her watch, 'Well, we're pretty much here, so tell everyone we need to land in about three minutes.' I nodded and made my way through the room.
'We're landing in about three minutes! Everyone down to the end!' I waved my hands around. They all stood up and started dragging things down.
When we landed, the door opened and we all jogged to the floor, where we were met by Alexa Gen.
'I got your message, everyone! Welcome back to GENESIS.' She smiled.
