Look, guys, I didn't mean 'a place to call home' when I said heaven. I love the place. But home will always be home. Home is where your mom and dad tuck you in to bed. Home is where you steal ice cream at night. Home is where you are your most ridiculous self. Home is where mom and dad are, I thought.

"What do you mean?" Misty asked, looking at Heather.

"Um... Well let's meet the boss."

That was not an answer.

We walked inside. Everywhere, except for the route leading to the main building, was grass. The kids had nice attire. Each of the tops had different symbols. But they weren't wearing casual. At all.

Everyone stared at us, as we walked. The hustle-bustle in the area paused.

I kept looking at my feet. We walked on the cement path. I looked to my left. I saw 4 cabins, shaped like half circles, but bigger. All of them were silver colored. They had symbols similar to ones I saw at the main gate. The first one had flames. The sentences,

Dare touch us? BRING ON THE HEAT!

were embedded with red. The edges of the cabin were red and the door had a scanner.

The next cabin had the same whip cream swirl, or whatever on it. Under it the words,

Silent heroes we are. Who are you? Flies?

Were embedded with white color. The edges were white.

In the next cabin that tear drop symbol was visible. Under it the words,

You shall drown by our force.....

God bless you anyway.

Were visible. This cabin had blue highlights.

The last cabin had a figure of mountains, that were green and brown. Under it, it was stated,

We shall tremble with power,

while you tremble with fear.

The building's edges were green.

Through the cabins I saw green stuff. There were trees and trees that seemed to go on till infinity. They were so green, that I had to stop to see them.

"Why did you stop?" Asked Dave.

"What's that?" I pointed to the trees.

"Oh!" He smiled.

"That is the forest." Heather said.

"Pretty." Said Misty.

"So....." I stared. "Beautiful." I said. I've never seen the forest before.

"Forget it girl. You are not allowed to go there, unless for planting and games."Dave said.

"Oh bummer!" I moved forward, hand in hand with Misty.

On to my left, there were girls and boys planting. Different vegetable beds were labeled with the same symbols displayed on the entrance gate. We came to a big metal door that was carved with the words, "BOSS".

"Boss, we are home!" Yelled Dave to a speaker at the door.

"David, you fool! You thought I'd give you pepperoni pizza! Enter." A sensible and strict voice screamed out of the speaker.

The door slid open. A middle-aged man with gray hair and cold grey eyes stood in front of a big white desk. He had a long, face, I mean not an annoyed face, he just had a considerably long face. His skin was pale. He wore a grey (why is everything grey?) cloak and a gray suit with white highlights (not purple). He had such a grim face that I was 100% sure he was the bad guy.
