🌟

A warm breeze rushed past Autumn, blowing her hair past her shoulders. A wave of warmth she never felt before tackled her body, goosebumps forming all over her sent shivers down her spine.

As she blinks to adjust to the sunlight, she gasped at the art in front of her, the tall emerald-green trees, and the vibrant green, tall grass. How the sun peeked it's way through the trees making everything look more elegant. Smelling the fresh air that didn't smell like metal, it stung her nose a little bit due to her inhaling something different, something new.

She turned and looked at the flower bed that sat right by the dropship slightly messed up due to the landing of the giant metal bin. The beautiful colors shining brightly blended perfectly together.

It was everything in the books on the Ark, but even better. Everything she has dreamed of, or anyone at that, and she was smiling at the fact knowing 101 plus herself was gifted this masterpiece.

But one thing caught Autumn's attention, the mushy chestnut-colored substance that laid everywhere on the ground, it was mud.

In the books and articles about the ground, she was always fascinated by mud. Weirdly she wasn't that interested in the pretty flowers, or how, "shiny the sun was," like the other girls on the Ark. She liked how the books explained the texture, how it's messy, she liked the pictures of the mud, and how it spread pretty quickly and to stay away from it if you wanted to stay clean.

Autumn was indeed a messy girl if she were sidetracked.

She snapped her head back in reality when she saw movement in her peripheral vision.

She witnessed Octavia walking forward, and there was no lie, everyone on the dropship was skeptical and hesitant on if she should touch the ground.

Octavia hopped off the dropship and into the mud, and Autumn's eyes glistened at the thought of doing the same.

She looked around for a second, then raised her arms and shouted, "We're back bitches!!" Smiling brightly she spun around, alerting everyone on the dropship, this was their moment and they grabbed it by the ass and ran with it.

Everyone on the dropship ran onto the Earth's surface, laughing and shouting out of happiness. Everyone spreading out, each and every one of the inhabitants fascinated by different things, but kept one thing similar. The bright smiles they all had on there faces, and the amazement in their eyes was more visible than anything anyone has seen on the boring ole Ark.

Autumn still stood in astonishment at everything, she was worry free at the moment and was thankful she was able to get an opportunity to witness something everyone hoped and prayed for.
