“What's that support to mean?” Ann crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame.

“Well, wouldn't a woman as young as yourself feel strange with a man my age?”

Eww, I'm just gonna kill myself to get this whole thing out of my mind. Now all I need is bleach…

“How old could you possibly be?”

“Twentysix.”

“Now you're just trying to flatter me. How about, me and you get inside and… talk”

Kira stepped out of the car and walked over to Apollo.

“Kira! How are you cutie? And I just meet your friend, he's very charming.”

“Cradle snatcher.” Hissed Kira

“Oh come on, he's not that much younger.”

“So where Tamry?”

“Sleeping. I just told hottie here she was out so he would spent some time with me. It's not every day I get to see someone this hot. Just look at him”

Apollo was blushing and smiling.

“Let's go get her. Would you mind if I come in?” Apollo looked at Ann.

“I’d prefer if you did.” Winked Ann.

“Eww, I'm right here” Kira knocked on Tamry’s door and was able to hear her crawl out of bed.

Tamry looked at Kira and grimaced when she saw him.

“Why is he here?”

“He made a deal with me and I was hoping you would join me”

Kira placed a hand on Tamry’s shoulder “I was hoping we could talk about it at my place. We do have a lot to talk to you about.”

His alluring blue eyes gave her the feeling it was something she would enjoy. Kira cringed ever so slightly. She knew he was cute but he was just someone she was working with.

“What kind of things are you planning on doing with Kira?” Ann crossed her arms as she looked into his eyes.

“Mom, I'm right here.” Tamry was glaring at her mother.

“I meant to include you but you interrupted me. And come on, you knew your not that cute.”

“Anyway he wants us to do is…” Apollo interrupted Kira.

“Undress for money! Yep, that all” Apollo spoke quickly and nervously.

“Wow your a horrible liar. So what is it what's the truth?”

“He wants to overthrow the government.”

“He wouldn't be the first to try. People have been trying for decades. What makes you think you're so special?” The look on his face told her he had the entire world in his pocket, he just needed to reach for it.

“I'm not special at all. They are. They are going to show the world something they have never seen. I'm gonna show Earth and the government why you don't mess with Martians.”

“So what is it you need them in your bedroom for?”

“But I don't need them in my bed room.”

“Well, are they going to be in your house and by the fact Kira isn't at her own home I knew she was going with you overnight. And because you own your house it is your bedroom right. Therefore they are going to be in your bedroom.”

“Never thought of it that way. But more importantly I'm sending them to school” Apollo smiled.

“School? Why the hell would you do that?” Ann leaned against a wall with a confused expression on her face.

“It's part of my plan. But soon enough things will start being clear. Shall we go?” Apollo walked back over to the door.

“Wait, if I'm going over with you I need to get my clothes.” “No need. I'll get you everything you need.”

“Oh I get it. You want to be my daughters sugar daddy. I won't allow it. Don't worry sweetie” Ann hugged Tamry “I'll take one for the team.”

“Mom stop hitting on him” Tamry shoved her mom and Ann giggled.

“But keep this in mind. We have to have as many massive interplanetary ships from Earth here before we can take action. We need to put a choke hold on how many troops they will be able to send here.” Apollo took another step towards the door.

“So, you're going to start a war. And you seem to have this all planned out.” Kira smiled.

“I'm trying to stop the war before it ever starts. If I manage to do everything right we should be able to force the government to give in”

“Alright then, take good care of my daughter. Take over the government and call me every night. Maybe a lunch every now and then or a date.” Winked Ann.

“Let's go” Kira grabbed Tamry and they left together.

They got back to the car and Apollo sat in the driver's seat. As they made their way back to his home he spoke.

“Your mom,”

“Don't tell me you're into her.” Tamry pretended to barf and smiled.

“I was going to say she was nice.” Apollo slowed the car as they arrived.

“So, ummm, I kinda forgot your name” Tamry played with her hair as she spoke.

“Apollo.”

“So Apollo, you really aren't going to use us for other things if you get my drift” Tamry winked.

“You tempt me more than you know. Just look at you, your lust incarnate. Your curvy body, your soft pink lips, your outfit leaving me with little need for imagination. If I wasn't gay I'd take you right now.” His rough husky voice contrasted his ever so kind and gentle dampener.

“You're gay? Crap, now I can't have you once this is all over.” Tamry crossed her arms.

“Apollo do you have bleach in your house?” Kira glanced at Apollo.

“Well, yes. Why?”

“Because I need a drink after that” Kira walked closely behind Apollo and walked into the house.

“So, you both have a room to chose. I'll be in my study. If you have any questions feel free to ask.”

“Can I have some money? I'm really hungry” Said Tamry. Kira hadn't noticed it before but the house was full of artifacts from Earth. Old armor probably thousands of years old. Blades, maps, blueprint, paintings, and what looked like crests. Objects covered shelves like dust.

“Right here you go. Keep in mind once morning comes you will have the instructions of what school you will be attending and everything else you might need. Good night” Apollo walked to his study and locked the door. Kira looked at Tamry who was holding five hundred marks.

“It's like eleven, it's not too late to go out and have fun.” Tamry winked.

“Let's go” they ran to the door and left the door open. They ran out and made their way to a bar. They walked to the bar and smiled at all the options.

“Are you old enough to be here?” Asked the bartender.

Tamry slipped the man a twenty and smiled. “What would you like?”

“Choose a good beer for us” Said Kira.

He looked around for a moment and grabbed to drinks from a metal box. He poured the drinks into chilled ice glasses and slid them over. “Got it from Earth, good stuff they got their. Real good”

Kira and Tamry continued to drink and smiled. About two hours into their drinking a man walked in.

He had a scowl on his sacred grizzly face. He had thick black hair and gray eyes. His massive seven foot tall body was covered by a trench coat. His every foot step sounded like a knock from the grave. He sat down and lit a cigar. It gleamed in his eyes as he took a drag. The smoke that seeped from his mouth flowed down falling on the table. The bartender looked at him and waited. “Vodka” the man's chilled voice rumbled.

Kira notice him and couldn't help but see he was about the same size as Apollo. Maybe just a tad taller but just about right. He was quite a bit bulker than Apollo. The bartender was looking for a clean shot glass.

“Just give me the whole bottle” Said the man.

He passed him the bottle and waited. Kira looked at Tamry and glanced over to the door.

“Thanks mister man dude but we gotta go” Tamry slapped down a fifty and they waved their way home.

“So, I got an idea” whispered Tamry clinging to Kira's arm.

“Hu?”

“An idea, once we start school. I'll get in a big fight with the biggest guy I see. We will be top of the pack” Tamry lifted her hand as if she was touching the words in the air.

“Alright, let's get home. I need to sleep it off” they walked in and found a nice couch to sleep on.

A sweet smell filled her lungs the second she woke. Something sweeter than she had smelled in years.

“Tam, you smell that?”

“No, I'm not getting up.” Kira sat up and yawned.

She walked to the smell and saw something that looked like a pie with chicken. She walked closer to see it had other ingredients she didn't recognize. She felt her mouth water and smiled.

She looked over at a pile of scrambled eggs and bacon.

“Oh hell yes” She wasn't too excited about the fruits or vegetables but that pie smelled like heaven.

“Tam, get your butt over here. This looks so good.”

“Piggyback!” yelled Tamry.

Kira rolled her eyes and walked over. She got Tamry on her back and sat her down. Kira sat on Tamry’s lap and grabbed some bacon.

“Hey, good morning” Apollo had pants on but that was it.

“Hey, so what school we going to?” Asked Kira.

“The good one. Imperial Bay, fancy as they get. But don't worry I have everything you'll need in the car. You can each take one or share, it's up to you. Well I have to get to work see you tonight.”

They looked at each other and smiled. “Sharing is caring” they giggled and got to the car.

“Is that what I think it is…” Tamry looked sick.

“A uniform…” Kira pretended to shoot her brains out and Tamry joined in.

“Well, it's not as bad as prostitution…” muttered Kira.

“Still gonna be a pain in the ass” Tamry nudged Kira.

They got in the car and followed the GPS.

“Let me see the paper” Tamry pulled the paper out of her back pocket and handed it to Kira.

“It has our classes, did you even try reading it?” Kira jabbed Tamry with the paper.

“Kinda, but I'm driving so, yeah deal with it.”

They grabbed the tags they had to carry to get in and the outfits. Kira got dressed as Tamry swerved through the streets than they switched halfway. They arrived and parked the super sports car. They stepped out and walked to the front gates. The security guards were armed and stood at the ready. The self operated machine guns glanced side to side and locked on to everything that moved. As they walked up the guards turned to face them.

“New here?” The guard was dressed head to toe in black. His shotgun had a scanner so only he could use it.

“Yeah, we're new.” He nodded and they walked in pass the security guards and gate. A boy stood holding a sign with the name “Kira” and a girl stood beside him with the name “Tammy”.

Kira walked over to the boy “Hey, I'm Kira.”

“I'm Alexander.” The thin boy smiled. His coat pocket had three identical pens.

“I'll be showing you around and giving you the rundown on the rules.”

Kira walked off with him as Tamry got acquainted with her own tour guide.

“So where you from?” Asked Alexander.

“The ghetto, I live in the big house.” He chuckled and nodded.

“So, your first class is physics, I'll be going with you and if you have any questions feel free to ask. Meanwhile I'll give you our main rules. Uniform must be clean and you must always have them on. Second, no weapons if any kind. You can't use any profanity. No littering, no drugs.”

“Doesn't sound like much fun.” Kira walked into the class and could see a wall full of things she didn't understand.

She stepped into the classroom and looked at the people looking right at her.

“You must be Kira,” a single empty seat sat in the back of the class next to a single chair.

“Welcome to AP physics” The woman at the front of the class spoke.

“Yeah, I'm gonna to sit now” Kira walked to the back and saw a large boy sleeping. His hair was jet black and his eyes were hidden. His thin black jacket that was most likely extra large fit him like a glove.

Kira looked at the strange boy and wondered if he really was sleeping. She could see his hand could not help but think of how muscular they looked. Just something about his hands seemed as if he could crush stone. Kira was handed a binder with what looked like a random language.

What the hell is this?

She flipped through the binder and closed it.

“Chapter 21 section five” Said the Teacher lady.

Kira looked at the sleeping boy. He hadn't opened a binder or get anything out. He just kept sleeping.

“Hey, mind opening the binder?” Said Alexander.

Kira tossed open the binder and left it on a random section. The teacher began to talk about some dude named Archimedes.

“Answer questions one through twenty. And give me a two paragraphs write up on the uses and importance of the Archimedes principle. Once you're done you can take notes and pick up your homework.”

The teacher looked at the boy with a quick glance, a smile skid across her face. Kira wondered what was going on.

“So, who’s he?” Asked Kira.

“Oh, his name is Mauretania. He doesn't speak really.”

Alexander looked at the boy.

“Can he talk?” Kira glanced over at him wondering if he would do anything.

“He only talks to one girl no idea what they talk about.”

Kira looked at the binder and flipped to chapter 21 section five. She looked at the writing and realized she didn't know any of it. The shapes didn’t look like english or any other of the three languages she knew.

“What the hell does this mean?” Asked Kira.

Alexander nodded slowly and wrote something down on the paper he had.

“Its physics. Have you taken this kind of class before?” Alexander tilted his head.

“No, this is my first time in school”

Alexander seemed as if he was going to say something but stopped. Kira looked behind her and looked at the boy. His face had been hidden until then.

The light hazel eyes seemed to be the most beautiful things she had seen in her life. He looked like he was handcrafted by the gods. Every little detail about him was all to perfect. His lips seemed like they needed to be kissed. He rested his face on his right hand looked down at his binder as if contemplating what to do after solving the secrets of the universe. Kira almost didn’t notice she was looking at him.

His hand glided over his papers as if he was painting a masterpiece. It seemed to take him just about ten seconds to finish all the questions and he looked as his paper as if he was about to fall asleep.

Kira averted her eyes and looked around the classroom. Almost everyone was stealing glances.

Kira took the few moments she had to copy his work. She had no idea what the work was but he had very little of his own.

He finished his paper after about fifteen minutes and looked up. He stood up and walked over to the teacher. Kira rolled her eyes and looked at the shapes. Nothing but the shapes. She decided to take a short nap and set her head down. A few seconds later the teacher tapped her shoulder.

“What?” Kira looked up to see the teacher.

“You aren't here to sleep.”

“Then why is he?” Kira looked over at the boy.

“Because he has his work done.” Kira rolled her eyes. She looked at the sleeping boy and stood up once the teacher walked off.

“Hey,” he looked up and she felt warmth cover her face. “How do you do this stuff?”

Kira could feel sadness and pain in his eyes. Something about his eyes looked like he needed a friend. He began to write something down and handed it to her. It was the meanings of each of the symbols. Kira looked at the equations and understood a few. She at down and continued her work. The bell rang and she stood to leave class.

“They call you in order.” Said Alexander.

“Mauretania Markader,” Said the teacher.

He stood up and walked out of class. He carried a satchel in his hand. White with a black heart etched in.

As the list slowly passed along Kira finally left the classroom. She could see that everyone was walking to get breakfast. Kira looked around and found Tamry talking to some boys.

“Hey Tam Tam, let's go get food.” Tamry looked at Kira and glance back at the boys.

“Let's get us some grub.” Tamry followed Kira and they looked at the breakfast.

“How much did he give you?” Asked Tamry.

Kira looked at the roll of cash she has in her pocket and smiled.

“Just enough.” They looked at the menu and looked at each other.

“Ten pancakes, three large soft drinks and four pieces of toast” Kira smiled at the lady serving the meal.

Kira and Tamry look at their food with joy. They sat down at a nearly empty table. In just under ten minutes they ate everything.

“I haven't eaten this much in forever.”
