《Cherry Cola》XX. Adventures In Babysitting
Advertisement
Don't give me that look, you and Javon are bald twins. More identical than Jaden.
~ Scarlett's POV ~
I was staring at my ring every day and ever night, it was the first thing I thought about when I woke up and the last thing I think about when I wake up.
I bragged about it to all of my friends, family members and strangers on the street because I was excited that this was happening.
"I can't save us, my Atlantis! We fall, we built this town on shaky ground."
I sang to 'Atlantis'by Seafret, this was my new comfort song for about two weeks now.
When Jaden posted about the engagement, so many people were overjoyed and made edits.
It was adorable, it also gave me new songs to add to my playlist.
When I walked downstairs, I was greeted with my baby brother staring ahead at the TV in his crib.
He's almost a month, I really don't believe that time flew so fast.
I walked over to him and he smiled at me, I picked him up and placed him on my hip before I walked over to the kitchen where my dad was.
"Father, could you believe that I'm getting married?"
I asked my dad who looked at me and smiled, he kissed my forehead and kissed Atlas's cheek.
Well, I was married young Scar, I was married by seventeen.
My father informed me, I looked at him and my jaw dropped.
I knew he didn't go to college and just jumped straight into acting but I had zero thought he also got married my age.
Just kidding I did, I know almost everything about my father.
Before Alana and Atlas, it was seriously just me and my father which meant we were each other's best friends for a good while.

"It's like I'm falling into your footsteps, that's how alike we are."
My dad chuckled and we smiled, I walked away from him and sat back on the couch.
Atlas was slowly learning how to crawl but not fully, he wasn't allowed on the ground if there wasn't an adult around him.
I remember getting nightmares about accidentally hurting my brother, whether he fell by accident or I forgot to do something for him.
At one point I had gotten super scared and called Jaden, it was the middle of the night and I couldn't deal with it alone.
Jaden came over that same night, he walked to the house and knocked on the door.
When he came over, he walked upstairs and then knocked on my bedroom door before entering.
Jaden watched as I sobbed before he walked over to me and comforter me, I didn't want to let go of him and I'm sure he didn't want to let go of me either.
Thinking about all of this going on, Jaden truly stuck by my side through thick and thin not acknowledging last year.
"So if you and dad are going on a date, does this mean I can invite my friends over and we can babysit Atlas together?"
I asked, Alana looked at me as I sat down on her bed and grabbed my brother who was squealing like a pig.
That was mean, oh well.
"Alright fine, order whatever food you want and don't forget about feeding Atlas."
My mom told me as she put on her diamond earrings, I looked at her and nodded before smiling down at my pig- I mean brother.
She looked really gorgeous.
"You look amazing mom.."
I complimented her, she wore was absolutely amazing and hugged her curves the correct way.

She looked at me and kissed my head and rubbing her lipstick off of my forehead but only smudging it.
Alana groaned and grabbed a make up wipe, she handed it to me and I wiped it off.
I got up from the bed and picked up my brother, I walked downstairs and sat on the couch.
"Let's watch... Criminal Minds because that was my obsession before."
I told Atlas, he looked at me and gave me a side eye.
Don't give me that look, you and Javon are bald twins. More identical than Jaden.
I told him, before laughing which caused him to let out his very first laugh.
My eyes widen and I looked at him, he had an adorable laugh.
"Mom! He had his first laugh!"
Alana ran down the stairs, she looked at her son and picked him up.
She kissed his cheek and then gave him back to me.
"Alright we're out, so be good and we'll be right back. Stay safe, I love you both and call me if anything."
My dad said before kissing my forehead and kissed my brother's cheek, I waved them goodbye and then called my friends.
The only people that came was Jaden, Xiomara, Delilah and Javon.
Which is good because they're my best friends and I was always planning on playing cupid on Javon and Delilah, I was about to get them together tonight.
They just don't know that, only Xiomara and Jaden know and even Atlas.
Jaden, Xiomara, Atlas and I walked upstairs to my room.
We started to come up with plan on how we would get them together, Jaden straight up though we should play truth or dare which was shot down.
Xiomara decided we would watch a movie which I decided would be Toy Story and then bring blankets and make popcorn, we give Delilah and Javon a blanket and they would soon either find themselves glued together or distancing themselves.
There's literally no wonder why I always go to Xiomara for ideas or plans, she literally the best person to come to.

A Forgotten Hero
(author: This is gonna be a long synopsis I apologise. This should be a prolouge but as you will see I have a seperate prolouge, please forgive me. This fiction as a warning beforehand is as basic as it comes, prettymuch following all story conventions of both the mecha and school life genres. I am mostly writing this to figure out my writing style before I begin something truly creative and uique. I dont wanna ruin something I worked hard on by being illiterate. Also illustrations are at a minimum because all I have access to is MS paint.) In the year 2028 humanity (accidentally) created the means to travel great distances through space in a short period of time. This has led humanity down the road of great technological advancement and also led to the spread of humanity across their home system and just begiining first steps upon other solar systems planets. In the year 2033 the human colonies in space broke from the chains of their old countries creating hyper advanced societies disregarding nationality and any other defining factor. Two space societies formed the Solar Empire a monarchic society with its capitol on the moon Titan which controeld the entire human home system aside from Earth which still remained divided into seperate contries. The other was the Extra-solar Leauge. A mysterious society outside of easy contact range with any other humans besides themselves. To help with construction and other work outside of sealed and breatheable atmospheres of their cities and ships the Solar Empire and Extra-Solar Leauge created what became known as Advanced Movement Shells(AMS). These machines are best described as huge exoskeletons or "mechs", and they aided greatly in getting things done by increasing strength, durability, and the amount of tools able to be used. They also aided in quelling rebellions among extremist groups forming in these new societies. Finally in the year 2050 the Solar Empire having divinated their emperor, and now beliving themselves to be their religions chosen people, the Solar Empire declared a holy war of conquest against all the nations of Earth in order to conquer it under the idea that all humanity was required to bend to their divine emperors rule. The first month of the war whent badly for earth as the divided nations fell one by one due to the Empires superior weaponry among other technologies which made their forces nearly invincible. The AMS were used to great effect due to their almost "magical" level of technological advancement. Some nations able to put up some kind of defense created their own versions of these technological terrors. From there the war became a brutal stalemate and suddenly was won by the forces of earth. Why this is still hasn't come to the light of the common man, but one thing is for certain it took a heroic effort from one, or many people to win it for humanity...

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
