Surviving Tomorrow

Chapter VI

NATHAN
   
     I'm sitting on the rocks. Eldon and Brix are swimming and playing on the water happily. They look like kids.

    Eldon, and now Brix in addition, they are examples of a positive person. They are examples of a strong man. They can keep smiling even if they are in pain.

    I wish I could be like them. Though, I don't have any problems right now, I always have to be strong.

    My eyes look at Andrei. He's lying on a picnic blanket. Later on, he got up from the blanket and shouted "maybe that's it!"

    What's happening on him?

     "Come on guys! Come quickly! I have to say something!" said he

     "What's that Andrei?" Eldon shouted

     I went to Andrei. Eldon and Brix also came.

     "Guys! We have to go back to our room. I going to tell something to you" said Andrei

     "But we're having fun here" said Eldon

     "Stop acting like a kid Eldon. You're already 23 years of age!" said Andrei

     "Let's go guys! I think I discovered something" said Andrei

     Andrei gave Eldon an advice regarding with his actions, those are not painful for him. We are best friends, so we should act like their true friends with concern, and not with plasticity.

    We went back to our room.

    "What are you going to say Andrei?" asked Eldon

    "It's all about Justin's invention. I think I know why he made The Enlarger" said Andrei

     "You discovered it quickly!?" I said

     "Wait a minute, who's Justin? And what kind of thing is The Enlarger?" asked Brix

     "Are you allowing me to tell Brix about the Ice Age?" I asked

     "What are you saying? What's with Ice Age?" asked Brix

     "Go ahead Nathan" said Andrei

     "Okay. Planet Delta... is about to step the Ice Age stage. Meaning Ice Age is yet to come, that's why the weather is becoming colder and colder, so every scientists from twenty regions made an invention to reduce the feeling of very cold weather. All of the inventions can help humans to feel warm temperature except for Justin Adamson's invention, which is The Enlarger that enlarges everything" I said
  
     "Then who is Justin Adamson?" asked Brix

     "He is a scientist here in American region" I said

     Brix keep in silence.

     "So what's with his invention?" asked Eldon

     "The Enlarger, which can make something larger than its original size, will be used to enlarge the red dwarf sun" said Andrei

     "What!?" I asked

     "Remember, the reason why we left the Earth is because the sun, which is a yellow star, became larger and reached its red giant phase. In our case, Justin is planning to enlarge the red dwarf sun, which is the closest star to planet Delta, to stop the coming Ice Age" said Andrei

     "Maybe you're right Andrei. Justin is planning to enlarge the sun, so it can contribute more heat to Delta. Because of that, it would have a possibility that the Ice Age will be postponed" said Eldon

    "You got my point brother! So, what we need to do is to make sure that our conclusion is really Justin's plan" said Andrei

     "So what are we gonna do?" I asked

     "As far as I know, Justin is living at the Fourth District" said Eldon

     "Are we going there?" I asked

     "Sure!" said Andrei

     "Wait. Can I join?" asked Brix

     Eldon and I both look at Andrei.

     "Okay" said Andrei

     "Thank you so much!" said Brix.

     "Double time guys! I desperately wanted to know the truth" said Andrei

     We proceed to the Fourth District, and look for Justin's room. Luckily, we found it. Andrei press the doorbell.

    We keep in silence. After a minute, nobody opens the door. Andrei press the doorbell again.

    "Who's there?" a voice came from inside.

    "It's Justin!" said Eldon

     The door opens, and Justin came out. "Hey guys! You wake me up! By the way, come inside!" said Justin

    Seems like he just woke up.

    "How did you know my address?" asked Justin

    "We asked everyone who knows you" said Andrei

    "Really? You gave an effort just to find me? I appreciate that" said he. "Wait. Who's that guy?" he pointed Brix

    "Hello! My name's Brix" said he

    "Nice to meet you Brix" said Justin

    "Justin..." said Andrei

    "Yes Mr. Cruz?" said Justin

    "Well, you can call me in my name. Anyways, can I ask a question to you?" said Andrei

    "Sure! What's that?" asked Justin
