Since they were young, since they have watched this one Disney movie that the four of them no longer remembered, the quartet have longed for something that they could refer as a plot twist of their usual boring sequence of living their life. To where they would wake up early in the morning to do their routines, go to school, learn 8 or 10 different subjects 10 hours a day; having all that information overload, go back home, do homework, sleep, and vice versa. Amaia would admit to herself that it had become a bit boring and less thrilling with all the repetitive activities.

But they surely wasn't expecting to come this far for a plot twist.

In a short amount of time, they entered classes in this strange school. They had memories they didn't even experienced for themselves, they learned their names and backgrounds. And Briar wasn't too happy by the fact that her most hated second name had become her last name in this reality; means that any one professional and higher above them would call her 'Ms. Harp' much to her distaste.

From their mysteriously obtained memories, they learned that they were currently been taken in by this person named Delbert Doppler- though they were unaware of who he was or what he was. But one thing is for sure that he's been nice to the four of them.

They have different last name, and they're not even a Doppler themselves. Reason why? Simple; their parents in this reality are either MIA or was one of the victims in Montressor's known tragedy about a ship being sucked in a black hole, on the space miles away- much more like their version of Earth's Titanic.

And yes, to where they are, the place is called Montressor. Much like a planet if Magnus could put it like that.

The quartet found themselves going out from their classroom, looking more mortified than the previous hours. Their last period had ended and they happened to learn about the history of every galaxy showed in this rather strange books that can be a hologram. This time, they happened to tackle and learn about the history of Earth; in which they learned that no longer existed as it got hit by a huge meteorite -bigger than the one that wiped out Dinosaurs- approximately billions of years ago. And to think that the four is from the 21st century, they're more flabbergasted for the teacher to call every one that is from 2000's 'ancient'; something Nolan was unacceptable by it given that he had enough of these three children calling him 'grandpa' on a daily basis.

Magnus had his mouth hung low at what he just witnessed and learned, given that their books actually can project pictures into reality in 3D. He still can't forget about the sounds of Earth exploding in his book, he swore to not open it again; poor guy had been traumatized in a span of five hours.

"That story- that wasn't true, wasn't it? That was absurd! We just came from Earth hours ago and now we just learned that Earth is now a mere myth?" Magnus ranted as they fight their way out of the bustling crowd, attempting to get out of the school. "4000's? Seriously, what's worse? Not knowing what Bohemian Rhapsody is?"

Briar only chuckled at his disbelief, her sling bag dangling lazily in one of her shoulders whilst her sour mood didn't dissipated yet. She'd had enough with every teacher calling her 'Ms. Harp' and as much as she wanted to yell at them did she remained her mouth shut and decided to bottle up his anger for later- literally speaking, as she would scream at the jar, close the lid and would say "everything's fine" on a wall infront of her.

"I mean, Calculus in this era was bad enough to give me headaches. But learning about the downfall of Earth was a bit too much."

"Hear, hear." Amaia muttered, her fingers gliding through her hair with a frustrated sigh. "We, humans, had gone too far for Mother Nature to give up on us."

"But I don't know what's worse; about Earth not existing or how humans immediately agreed about hopping on them space lamborghini to find planets and galaxy to take shelter with."
