Bustling crowds of Pipos fills Mars' Space Port. All excited to come to New Earth after 500 years of it being so desolate and in ruin. It's the era of the 20s, specifically 2523. Cities are popping up all over, using Brix to heal Earth's tainted surface.
And waiting for her flight was a woman in a yellow, tent-like rain coat. Her hair short with bangs, and brown with a reddish hue that shaped her face. Her name? Matilda. Or also popularly known as amongst the Pipos as--
"Oh my gosh?! Guys, it's 'Waltzing' Matilda!" someone shouts across the departure lounge.
"No way?! The graceful, badminton champion?" another asks.
"Yes! Look!" the first Pipo points towards Matilda.
Many guide their eyes towards her direction. Excited cheers gradually burst amongst the Pipos as Matilda sits there, nonchalantly, ignoring the screams as they come closer and closer.
"Flight to Eden City is boarding now!" an attendant calls, standing next to the terminal.
Matilda grabs her small bag, flashes her ticket to the attendant, and enters the terminal before the adoring fans make it to her.
Attendants and body guards block the Pipos from entering the terminal, attempting to calm them down and inform them that they can't get on unless it's their flight. Matilda turns her head towards the directions of the fans, winking with the two-finger salute.
The fans erupt into overwhelming, joyous chaos from such charisma as Matilda continues to board the spaceship with a mischievous smirk.
However, one fan amongst the sea of mayhem, stood there with an intense stare. Determined. She covers her head with the hood of her brown poncho, disappearing into the shadows of the crowd.

Matilda yawns as she exits the Space Port's doors. She gazes upon Eden City. Full of nature, wonders, but mostly, a seemingly cozy place to be.
"I think luck is on my side again," Matilda thinks out loud as she stretches. "Didn't think randomly choosing a city would be the best idea to find home on Earth, but it's looking great so far!" She adjusts her bag on her back and begins exploring.
She comes across a plaza where there's a concert stage, a stadium, all sorts of stores and amenities. And in the center, she sees a man in entirely green attire and hair, breakdancing for all to see. Everyone in awe and excitement as he dances.
Amused, she approaches him, watching him perform to the music playing in the concert area.
Another approaches him. A timid woman with a long, blonde braid, a yellow sweater dress and orange boots. She takes a deep breath then softly speaks to the dancer, "C-Carlos, Musically Inclined is about to play in a couple minutes."
"Oh, snap!" Carlos exclaims as he smoothly transitions from his head spin move to standing. "Let's get going then, Pookie."
"Can I come along? I haven't heard of Musically Inclined before." Matilda follows the two.
"What? Oh, now you HAVE to come! Uh-uh," Carlos grabs Matilda's hand while using his other arm to lock with Pookie's, dragging them both towards the stage. "Time to have your mind blown!"
They make their way through the crowd, getting close to the front as four Pipos come onto the stage dressed in some combination of pink, purple, and yellow. Everyone roars with excitement, waiting for the performance to begin.
Matilda glances around her, enjoying the atmosphere. Pipos enjoying themselves, someone sleeping on the floor-- someone sleeping on the floor?!
Matilda stares at the sleeping man. "Hey, is that guy, oka--"
"AHH, THEY'RE STARTING!" someone interrupts.
Music and cheers fill the air as the band plays, everyone dancing and waving around their glow-sticks. The sleeping man tiredly waving his own glow-stick. Matilda shakes her head, smiling. She bobs her head to the music, staring at the stellar performance.
Yeah. I think I found home.
