Hope finished her breakfast and walked back inside. She dumped her dishes into the sink and her orange juice back into the fridge. She sighed, walking down the hallway towards her room. As she entered, she glared at the made bed and the pile of folded clothes on the bed. She scowled, but grabbed a pair of jeans and a gray long sleeve shirt that said, 'If you're reading this, you're too close.'
She was now brushing out her hair, the water droplets dripping over her shirt. She grabbed her hat and put it on. She sat down at her desk and signed in to her software. As it came on, a annoying voice came on, 'Hello. What would you like to do?'
"Bring up the news." She said, standing. There was beep and the news screen popped up. "What's been going on?" She asked.
'There's been massive riots on Mars. One of the space stations almost went out of orbit. Lastly, they've started researching how to get farther out into space; trying to find a "New Earth" Would you like a interview?'
"Nah. I'm going back outside. Wait, tell me one more thing. What have they said about Earth?" She asked, as she fished through her closet, trying to find a better jacket to wear.
'Nothing. All News is about Space Travel.' Hope sighed angerily, and ordered darkly. "Shut down." Her software beeped, before turning off. She flung on her jacket and put on her shoes. "I'm going back to the park." She grumbled as she passed the living room. There was a 'hmph' but Hope didn't wait for a scolding and such. She slammed the door behind her, and ran back towards the park.

"I don't like watching the news. It's slow and boring." Tesunie shrugged, "I normally watch the shows coming off from Mars or one of the Stations. Sometimes I'll just do some research on something I've been thinking of."
Tesunie stood up from the swing, grabbing his back as well. "I was actually thinking about this cold recently. Either their playing tricks on us, or something is wrong. I'm sure if something was wrong though, the adults would send out an emergency message to us," Unless they where trying to keep us from panicking, Tesunie thought the last of that sentence.
((Err... is there anything we are suppose to do, like attend classes or something, or are we just suppose to meander the town till we become adults?))

Andrew knocked on teh door. "Come in, " a voice called through the thick wooden door. Andrew took in a deep breath of air and entered. The man's office was the same as before, but now a man sat in a desk that was placed on the oppsoite wall. "What is it Andrew?" the new man asked. "Sir." He nodded to him "The Dome is dying." :Ah, yes. Andrew, would you please go and fetch us these youths? If you need their exact locations, they can be provided," The man from before said, without looking up from his work, and thrust his arm out to Andrew. Andrew took the paper that was clutched in the man's hand and read it a few times. "Sir, what does this have to do with anything?" The new man looked up at Andrew. "Everything. Now please, bring them to us."

Zak nodded in agreement, "yeah, i noticed that too. I was looking for data on it last night, but couldn't find anything. But, if you ask me, it was a suspicious nothing. Or I'm just paranoid, probably both," he said, the last part dismissively.

"Well, I didn't really check, but I would have to say it might be an early winter?" Tesunie shrugged his shoulders. "Without being told, or actually bothering to look it up, I wouldn't know. I wouldn't mind taking a peek at the heating system just to check, but I am sure the adults are better at those kinds of things, not to mention that should tell us something."

Zak looked thoughtful, "Weeelll..." he said, trailing off, "I could get you to the heaters, if you know what to look for, can't say I do, all that much, I'm a more of a techincal guy,"

Hope ran up and stopped a few feet short of the group. She breathed heavily, and walked towards them. She was about to speak, but she just breathed heavily once more, before beginning. "There's been some riots in space. Big ones too. Big enough to almost knock a stations out of orbit." She said crossing her arms. "What do you think of that, Zak?" She asked defensively.

Zak was perturbed, "Do you have any idea when this was?" he asked, having not heard about it when he read the news, "Or any idea of why it happened? More information would be appreciated," he sighed, "I really hope this won't put a dent in my plans,"

Riley sat back quietly and listened to teh exchange, not really paying attention, as he was never good at science or math, though he could fix things, but he didn't really see how that would be inportant to their convorsation. He had started humming tunelessly. A man walked toward them. Riley stopped humming, and looked at the man, Yes. He was a man, aged about maybe 25, possibly 27. The only other acctuall man he had seen in his life was his pricipal and a guy who worked in the retail block. He stopped in front of the small group, a little nervously. He kept looking down at a paer clutched tightly in his sweaty hand.

Kev had just finished his first lap of town and was back at the park. What stopped him in his tracks was the man with a paper in his hands. Silently, Kev crept over near Hope and Zak and hoping that the man would say something quick.

Hope was about to responde to Zak when a man walked up. She crossed her arms and uncrossed them, her mind spinning with things to say. But she just glared. "Who are you?" She asked, not rude but demanding.

"Maybe he is here to inform us of the heating situation?" Tesunie hopefully extended as a possible option. There really was no reason any adult should be here, as far as Tesunie could come up with.

Hope rolled her eyes. "Or maybe he was wondering about the new art display." She sniggered, looking towards Kev, before looking back at the man.

Zak, who had his back to the man at the time, stiffened and slowly turned, "I don't think so," he said, sounding a bit angry, "He looks to official. So," he raised his voice a bit so the man would know he was being addressed, "Who let you out of prison?" he asked, gesturing at the distant shape of the office building where the adults worked

"Ah..." Andrew said, slightly uncomfortable. "Um, I was wondering if you could tell me where to find..." he looked at the list. "Zak, Tes, Riley, Tabitha, Kev, and Hope? They are wanted at The Office." he stated, saying each name clearly.
Riley stepped more towards the group so that he was now part of the loose circle they had formed around than man. "I'm Riley," he told him, not wanting to give the others away in case they didn't wasnt to go with the man.
Andrew's eyes fell on the boy and they grew a little bit in relife. "Good. Where are the others? Do you know? It is very important and must be addressed immediatly." Although, It'd be nice if THEY were trusting ME and not some children.... he thought a little bitterly, and a little sadly.
