Galaxicon [Finished]

Glory to Ruin

One month since Charmaine left. 30 days, 14 hours, seven minutes, 20 seconds, and counting.

Rose sighed. Without Charmaine, she had nothing to do. Being homeschooled meant no social life. And with only limited access to the yard due to her parents' paranoia, the kids in the neighborhood thought her demented or terminally ill.

A great way to make friends, mom and dad. Thanks.

Growling in frustration, she stomped up the stairs to her room and closed the door. She turned the lock and moved to her bookshelf. Since Charmaine left for college, she'd only logged into Galaxy Raiders a few times. Her mood continued to decline; her parents grounding her from the library on Fridays and Saturdays didn't help.

Running her fingertips over the binders, Rose decided to check on her game. Her stomach twisted still from the fight she'd been in with her tutor, but she refused to go a step further in her lessons until Monday. Saturday she kept free for herself. She celebrated her Saturdays since her parents tended to leave the house to her all day.

She walked to the desk and opened the window beside it. Turning on her computer, she logged into Galaxy Raiders and looked over her stuff.

Four successful defenses, one failed defense. Two missed messages from her fellow commanders, and a call to arms from the fleet commander sent out only minutes ago.

"Maybe a fight will help clear my head for a while." She clicked on the call and the screen went from her base to the fleet commander's ship.

The special chat came up and the regular chat shut down. Already, she saw, most of the fleet commanders were present.

SeventhSon: Has any1 seen 445? I can't find him anywhere...

idoidocuzido: No last I knew hes not on. any1 know where Glx is? she always cums on these. shes gud to

King Hashtag: Yeah, we'll need to find 445. He'll hate missing this. And Glx will be here, I'm sure. She hasn't been on a lot, lately, but she always makes these.

Thrasher445: Hey, just got on. Mother-lovin' dog. I hate my sister's dog - it thinks I'm its master. Stupid crapper.

idoidocuzido: lol 445

Galaxicon: Hey, I'm on. Sorry, been a bit out of it lately.

SeventhSon: 445! I got something for you... ;)

idoidocuzido: Glx! ur on! cool we got to wait 4 the othrs. my bros cumin but itll take a min. hes got to log in

King Hashtag: Where is YesterYear? He's got to lead the expedition, or it won't happen.

Rose sat back for a few minutes while the others spoke. The rest of the fleet commanders slowly came around, until finally their fleet commander, YesterYear, showed up.

YesterYear: Hey men and women. How are you all? Good? Cool. Okay, we each have a strong suite, and we all know what those strong suites are.

Scooting closer to the computer, Rose got ready. She was always assigned to working with SeventhSon since they got along better than anyone else.

Even the fleet commander couldn't stand the guy for more than a minute or two. Although he had a right to ignore the guy. They were brothers.

King Hashtag: Who's our target, YYr?

Thrasher445: Come on, give us someone hard. We need an ACTUAL challenge, YYr.
