Baby #1



I spent the next day doing some trivial things, just to familiarize myself more with this new technology. It actually wasn't too bad once you got used to it. I was pretty in love with the food synthesizer, or at least, the baby in my belly was. Pizzaaaaaaaa...


I soon decided to try my hand at writing. I decided that I wasn't ready for a real job in this new world until I could at least not burn myself at home. Plus, with a new baby in the household soon, it wouldn't be a good idea anyways. But at least through writing a few short stories or so I could earn a few extra bucks.


 

The crazy robot thing, Prototype 005, kept trying to go swimming! Although, it does take a while of being in the water for it to need a recharge. Still though, won't it... rust? Or something? Nevertheless, I finally convinced it to do something productive like read. Though I'm not sure it will help, considering robots are pretty genius already.

It was pretty neat, I had to admit. The way it was so fast, floating, not needing any legs. Plus it was handy to have around the house. It could fix whatever was broken. That's one thing the past needed.... robots.


I yawned and sat up in my bed. I was getting pretty used to this future bed thing. It was really comfy, and I could sleep like a baby. No, better than a baby. Most babies hardly sleep through the night.

I wondered what my family was doing. Did they even exist in this world? Could they just be here, right under my nose, without me to recognize them? Or could it be that my family line still lives somewhere in this future? I was so curious about it all. Maybe it was time to go find things out. Outside the house.


The real first time outside took my breath away. It was all so different. The trees looked so odd, and the houses were so weird. But yet... it was strangely beautiful. It seemed like everything was in sync, in a harmony that I couldn't recognize.


Walking through town, I came to this huge dome-like structure. It seemed as though the townies were having some sort of festival, so I decided to visit. This could be exactly what I was looking for! Maybe I would meet some nice people who have some answers. For what, I'm not quite sure.


The first time I've seen any real fruit or plants since I woke up a few days ago! I decided to pick some to take home with me. Maybe make a good homemade meal with it. At least it would taste as bad as it did back in the past.


I was just barely beginning my fun when the baby decided to come!!







Baby #1: Jayce Trish


Prototype 005 helped me out with Jayce while I went scouting for the next challenge father. Oh, the joys of doing the challenge once more.....



Mew, mewwwwwww, I heard outside the door as I put Jayce to sleep. I gently opened the door and let out a squeal as I beheld what was in front of me. A cute little multi-colored kitten, lost and abandoned. I picked up the small little pet and brought it inside from the rain. "You poor thing," I mumbled as I petted its soft fur. I gave it some food and laid down for a nap. I promised to get it a bed when I could.

As the day came to a close, I felt a little more at ease. I just wished I knew more about my family.

Starting Over




I sat up groggily, blinking in the darkness. Where was I? I remembered the fire.. the kids, I had to get the kids! Wait.. That's gone. Their screams. I remembered screaming. And then... it was all over. Images of the fire coursed through my mind.





What happened? Everything was gone. I lost everything. I've given up so much in this life and only to be struck down once more. And... we moved. That's right, we moved to the cemetery where I should be now. What am I doing here? I'm..... back?


I sat up and screamed, feasting my eyes upon what was in front of me. A screen? But.. it was halfway see-through. I looked at the volcano screened on the wall. "W-What is this p-place?" I asked to nothing in particular.


"You are in the future," I heard a high-pitched computer voice.

I jumped up and looked at the figure before me. Some kind of hovering robot creature. But it seemed nice enough, so I asked it an array of questions. "Future? But.. I was at home in Sunset Valley, and.. I was.. I was dead," I whispered.

"I cannot tell you anymore than what I know. You were given another chance. My master ordered me to instruct you in these ways: start your challenge over, and you MIGHT get to see your family again."

"My family! Where are they! Where is this master of yours! I demand to know!"

"I'm sorry. I cannot divulge that information."

"So... How long will I be here?"

"My master said you must finish your challenge that you started in your previous life state."


I couldn't believe what I was being told. Start my challenge over? I quit that after I died. It was the best yet worst thing in my life. I loved my kids, with everything in me. But yet.. it was so hectic, worrying about who the next challenge father would be. But to get my kids back? I would battle the world. I thought long and hard, and finally, "I"ll do it."


I spent most of the rest of the day learning just exactly how all the new technology in this world worked. I was amazed yet in a way not so impressed by everything. There was projector televisions, robots, hovering cars, and even projecting plants that can change color or type with just a request! But it wasn't all that bad.


Actually, there is this machine that automatically prepares whatever food you want if you ask. Except, I don't think I done it right because it sprayed stuff at me when I first done it. I guess I'll just have to get everything ready, and then go looking for challenge fathers.


It didn't take as long as planned, though. Someone came to introduce me to the neighborhood. His name is Robi, He seemed interesting enough, with interesting hair features. But most of this future seems pretty weird so I guess it's normal. I made sure he knew of the rules of the challenge before initiating his ...services.


I spent the extra time getting to know this strange bot, or Prototype 005 as it calls itself. Perhaps if I became friends with it, it might let me know more about this "master."


And with this I will leave you. We expect baby #1 soon!

(Note: I actually have lost Salline's save so many times.. but I was able to recover her, so here's to a new start! Cheers! xDD Let me know if you have any tips or want to suggest names.. I'm going to try and not use any names from her last challenge if possible. lol.)
