The Last Normal Years

"Overslept!"

"BLOOM!" Flora shrieks at me. "We gonna be late to breakfast!" She shook me awake in bed.

"We gotta hurry up, not your fault though, I overslept myself too, Kiko woke me up, Bloom." Flora responds.

"Monday, August 23, 2004, right?" I mumbled and rubbed my eyes everything looked blurry till I had done that.

"How did you know?" questions Flora. "What day it is?"

"In European calendars always start of with Monday as the first day of the week." I told her.

"Interesting," She replied. The dorm apartment rooms of Alfea were gold or yellow whichever word you think it looks closer too. Flora and my room had a distinct touch to it with all her beloved plants she tended too. I smiled her and pulled my first set of clothes from the suitcase and got changed as Flora changed in our bathroom. She was a skilled worked the way she walked said it all. But there are many narrower channels to put to those two words. The name thing I looked up before said. "Historian, philosopher, poet, writer, counsellor, and advisor. Philosopher did not fit Flora at all everything else could be connected to each other though, friends." I keep my thoughts to myself

I will keep an eye out for Moonstones, Cat's-eyes, pearls any white stones. Flora's already had a lucky Sunday. And for botanicals-help me look for Elderberry, blackberry, hops, juniper, linseed, grapes and all types of fruit juices.

We were changed and hurried down the steps trying not to notice anybody, but Griselda noticed us walking quietly into the grand hall for Breakfast, we sat at the far table by the window with the girls who were already seated.

"What took you guys so long?" asked Musa kindly.

"We both overslept." Flora admitted.

"Flora and I had some intense nightmares, I didn't sleep better until she used her magic to calm me down." I stammered.

"Watch out for Ms. Griselds." Tecna warns us. "Somehow, I don't think she's a very nice person."

"Tecna, that's being a bit harsh, we've all only just met her." Flora corrects her. "Deciding that about her is stereotyping her. We don't want to be starting that do we, now, girls?"

"It's probably the way she was raised Tecna, not so much herself." I add into the conversation. "Let's try to be on her good side from now on."

"On Zenith we have no ideology of stereotyping or what it means."

"You mean everybody is the same all the time?" questioned Stella. "Like machines on repeat. Sounds plain and boring we need to teach you of the spice in life, Tecna. You're missing out on all the good stuff in life!"

"I cannot compute with what you just said." Tecna replied.

"Say that again in English, please, Tecna?" inquired Stella.

"She doesn't understand what you meant by that statement, Stella." I translate for Tecna. There were so many techie civilians on planet Earth I understood Tecna's language better than the other girls did.

"You're missing out on the fun in the outside worlds, Tecna." remarks Stella.

"In our world we call it trapped in a fake Utopia and truth will eventually crack it open, Tecna." I informed her. "Cause someone always finds the truth."

Tecna's eyes bulged like a chameleon's would, and said. "I think truth already did crack my world's Utopia open, because of my parents. What does Utopia mean, Bloom?"

Hmm... how would I define this word in simple enough means for her to understand it perfectly. I would use both definitions to give her full truth of the matter.

"Utopia means an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. But the Greeks on earth were the first to coin the term and by their definition the word Utopia means literally "no place" referring to their true fact Utopias have never existed on Earth ever."

"That's interesting, Bloom." said Tecna.

"There are also utopias that cover up what is actually a place under dictatorial rule which we have another term for called dystopia when everyone has to follow the lead in the government and do whatever they say or be punished for it. They do everything to make sure their nations and their subjects see nothing wrong and everything as perfect as it would be in a real utopia if ever one happened to actually exist. An oppressive ruler is only strong if his people are dumb and stupid. Smartness overrides silly illusions and will delusion the mind's thoughts."

Normaniforever4 Tecna screentime 101 increased to 102. This is true for Zenith the weather's a certain way the people dress a certain way it is a Utopia hiding an actual dystopia Zenith city is the only land city. PotereCosmix what do you think about the idea of Zenith being a dystopia hidden in the illusion of a Utopia?
