Everything Stays: In the Future

Starting Back

Fred slowly awoke back in his bed and yawn to himself. He glanced over and saw Yang was already out of bed and somewhere in the house. With that he then realized, his six weeks recovery was over. Fred got out of bed and stretched his back before running out to the main room of the house. Once there, he saw Yang was at the stove making breakfast. He quickly moved over behind her and picked her up bridal style and spun her around, making Yang laugh and himself smile.

Yang: Well...someone is overly happy.

Fred: Says the optimist.

They both laughed at one another and kissed once again.

Yang: Good. Now, get to work.

Yang shoves the spatula onto his chest.

Fred: I hate you sometimes.

Yang gave a large smile and walked away.

_________________________________________________________

Class were the usual quick in and quick out. Currently, Amber was in lunch with her friends, all of them at the same table, talking eating or making fun of Raleigh's terrible sense of humor.

Raleigh: Look, why you guys gotta rip on me? All I do is make jokes and have a good time.

Sapphire: Well, your jokes just suck in general.

Raleigh: Well, sorry for trying to give some form of comedy to this group.

While Sapphire and Raleigh were having their talk, Kelly Crann walked by and sat down in front of Amber and slide her a flash drive.

Amber: What's this?

Kelly: Finding from my brother. The same guy who attacked Signal, just attacked him and his team. He knows you and your brother are on the case as well. Figured I could give you some info.

Amber: Thanks, Kelly.

Kelly smiled a bit as Amber plug the drive into her scroll and began to read over some data. Silver and Opal leaned in over next to her and began to look at the files and images with her.

Raleigh: What are you guys staring at?

Amber: File footage. Trying to piece together the whole Signal Attack.

Sapphire: Again with that?

Opal: What's wrong with it.

Raleigh: You guys have searched for 2 months already. Give it a rest.

Bruno: (Coughs and gets everyone's attention) I find it best we stop the case. If we have not found anything it is perhaps we are not well trained enough. Also, we're 13. We shouldn't be looking into this stuff anyway.

Silver: We're not going after them. We're finding evidence and then we're going to take it to the cops.

Amber: What do you mean?

Silver: What do YOU mean?

Amber: We're taking this guy down. (Everyone looks at her in confusion and shock) What?

Kelly: Amber, I love a good fight. Love them. But that's suicide for us.

Amber: So? My dad could take them down when he was our age.

Silver: Wasn't your dad dropped off in the middle of the woods when he was nine and told to find his way home without any aid?

Raleigh: Ok, Amber. Let me spell it out for you. You're dad had a lot more training than we ever did at 11. You want to know what I did at 11? Math homework. And, science homework. And hitting on beautiful girls. Speaking of, how you doing, Amber?
