Surviving Tomorrow

Chapter XV

ANDREI

      We just got home from the mall. Marco looks a simple human, now.

     His face still looks like the face of a 20-year old man. Nathan and I were twenty-one when we met Marco, and Eldon is as the same age as Marco that time.

    I am twenty-four now. Time passes really fast. It's like you were born today, and then you are survivor tomorrow, surviving the challenges of the world.

   I also missed our old job. I was a news anchor, Nathan was a news reporter and Eldon was a weather forecaster. We were working on the same network.

    "Hey Andrei, when can I start my mission?" asked Marco

    "Tomorrow morning" I said

    "I got it!" said Marco happily

    "Good luck Marco! You are our hope, now" I said

    "Don't worry Andrei. Trust me" said he

    I smiled.

    That night, nothing happened so much. We ate our dinner and slept early.

    "Okay Marco. You have to act that you don't know us" I said

    "Okay" said Marco.

   "How will they meet?" asked Brix

   "You should act like you agree with all his plan. That you also want him to enlarge the sun" I said

   "Got it brother" said Marco

   "Remember, there are so many protesters out there? Wanna try to join them?" I asked

   "I will" said Marco

   I smiled. "Wish you all the best luck" I said

  "Thank you" said he

  "Operation: Befriend Justin, starts now!" said Eldon

  "Bye guys! Gotta go!" said Marco

   Marco just went outside to join the protest.

   "Hey Andrei. Do you think an android can have its own point of view?" asked Eldon

   "I don't think so" I replied

MARCO

    I just got here outside UsSA3. I saw humans protesting in front of First District (UsSA1).

   They are yelling, shouting and making noise. All they have to shout is 'End coldness, approve Justin!'

   I saw Justin looking at me. He's about to go to me.

   When he reached me, he asked me "Hey! Wanna join?"

   "Sure" I said

   "Don't you also want to freeze to death?" asked he

   "Yeah. I think you really have to enlarge the sun" I said

   "You're right!" he said happily "What is your name again?"

   "I'm Marco Agustin" I said

   "Well, I'm Justin Adamson" he laid his right hand

   "I already know you" I said. I get his hand "By the way, nice to meet you" I said

   I join with him.

NATHAN

    "Let's look for Marco" said Eldon

    We're here watching TV. The news just informed as regarding with the regional protest in front of First District.

    Justin is also there. The whole American region is protesting just to make the sun larger

   Didn't they learn from the past?

   "Come on" said Andrei

    We got outside the room. It's so quiet.

   "It's almost... empty" said Brix

   "Where are some of the humans living here?" I asked

   "I know that there's a protest happening out there,  but I didn't imagine that it would almost empty the space arks" said Andrei

   As of now, all we can see are rooms and some people.

   "Let's go to First District" said Andrei

   "What!? There are so many protesters there" said Eldon

   "We will be hiding" said Andrei

   "Let's go" I said

   We walked and reached the exit of Third District.

   When we got outside, we found the UsSA1 closed. There are huge number of protesters in front.

   We also saw Marco with Justin.

   "Seems like all is happening according to the plan"  said Andrei

   "Do you like it?" I asked

   "Of course! We can now stop him, if Marco did it successfully" said Andrei

   "I hope he can do it" I said

   "Of course he can! Don't you know Marco? He can do whatever tasks assigned to him. Remember he managed to hide his real identity to us?" said Eldon

   "I know" I said

   "Then, why are you doubting?" asked Eldon

   "Hey! I'm not doubting! I just said I hope he can" I said

  "Wait, are you two fighting?" asked Brix

  "Of course not!" I put my arms behind Eldon's neck. He also put his hands behind mine then smiled.

   "Stop this nonsense humans! You are just prolonging the conversation. Why can't we just be happy with the happenings now" said Andrei

   "Okay daddy Andrei Cruz" said Eldon playfully

   "Don't call me that way ever again, okay?" said Andrei

   Eldon smiled.
