"Damn it, I can't get the damn bus to start." I muttered to myself. "Hey! Mrs. Bus Driver! When are we gonna get the bus going?" "I have a name," I grunted at him. "And soon, okay? I can't get the bus to start. Be patient, kid." I took one last tentative push on the gas, barely putting any pressure down at all, and the bus shot foward, and the surroundings around us blurred into nothing. I yanked my foot off the gas pedal, and it kept going. I hit the brakes as hard as I could and nothing happened. I heard a couple of screams from the back of the bus. I took down the speaker at the front. "Everybody calm down," the speaker crackled. "I can't get the bus to slow down." "Idiot bus driver!" "You're going to get us all killed!" "Wait till' my father heard about this!" The bus suddenly stopped. I looked out the window, and I didn't recognize the scenery at all. Wait a second, is that... MARS?!

But I built it, like everything in our home. Where was I? Oh yes. Puppets. These Puppets are actually the reason I'm recording this. Their Expansion Decree, along with other decrees, are going to wreck my life. I'll explain about it later in the recording for anyone who listens to this and doesn't know what I'm talking about. Point is, I need to save my family. That's why I'm recording this. If my tech works, we will be together forever. Sadly, it needs time to charge... I know, buzzkill. It should... ready... work... 29... * * * END OF TRANSMISSION*** ***************** I've had most things in my life going right for me. Many have gone wrong, but I've learned to suck it up and live with it. Being a girl in the Middle Division is hard and no one knows that better than me. My life is about to be ruined and I do not know how to stop it. I think about running away but everywhere on this earth has the same rules as here. Except the Commoners' world.
