Colony Site 75 , Year 3145 SE (Space Era)

Nosaka laid on grass in the open area near the river while staring into the space outside the colony, today he and some of his friends were 5 years old.

They were dreaming to success in their study just so they can travel the vast space.

"Nosaka! Let go, otherwise we will be grounded again!"

Shouted Hiyori while waving her hand at him with a smile on her face. Her long black hair and deep hazel eyes looked at Nosaka.

*Ahhh, why can't I get some 'me' time for myself.*

Nosaka complained to himself while answering Hiyori calls.

"Alright! Wait a minutes I'm coming."

Nosaka stood up and start chasing Hiyori and few others of his friends, they all orphans or abandoned childs that were save by former teacher Madam Sophie and her grand daughter's Anna.

"Heyy guys!! Look there! Over there, that a military escort vehicles!" Shouted one of the kids that were left behind.

As they were running, laughing and teasing each others they heard a shout from behind informing them about a military escort vehicles not so far from them.

Each one of them stop whatever they're doing and watched with excitement and each passing time feels like eternity for them.

Now they had their eyes feast, they continued their teasing of each others while running back to theirs home, the one place that they called home.

Thanks to the former teacher called Sophie and her grand daughter Anna, each one of them probably didn't know anything about read and write and most of them surely became thieves or scavenging foods from the garbage bin.

Their journey to return to the house isn't actually far but as childrens, they always find something to play around and waste times.

As the colony light started changing its light color to indicates night time, they started sprinting back home while competing with one another.

As they reached house, all of them suddenly stop as they bow their head since they seen, their big sister's Anna already standing while both her hands on her waist. No one dared to open their mouth as each of them line up vertically as if it already a routine for them.

"Are you want grandma to die worrying about all of yours safety!!?? Each one of you get inside now and take a shower!! Put the clothes on the laundry basket and separate between pants and shirt!!"

Anna shout and instructions were answered with silent as no one dared to say anything.

"What you've waiting for? Move now!!"

Everyone started running inside the house, and the moment they reach the bedroom their laughter were heard throughout the house.

"Huuuh , this kids, I already don't know what to do, sometimes they're cute, sometimes they're too annoying."

Complained Anna while she start to picking up their clothes that now all over the place.

Nosaka and Hiyori now just finished shower, each one of them now changing inside each other room, the moment they came outside, they started a little gathering upstairs and started playing new games.

"All of you, came down and let eat dinner already! Stop playing around and fast otherwise I will eat all the food." Anna shouted directly from the kitchen.

"Anna , stop shouting like that, they still kids, you need to be soft with them and speak nicely." Madam Sophie advise Anna, which Anna response with just a smile and kiss her hand for blessing.

The kids started to line up as soon as they reach the kitchen, it quite a big kitchen just smaller by half from those hostel kitchen. They got their meals and started to sit down and pray for blessing before they eat.

After they finished their meals, each one of them line up once again to wash the plates. After they finished with the dishes, they also started helping cleaning up the kitchen.

When everything were clear, they started running upstairs and continued their little games and fun. Anna just shaked her head watching them while Madam Sophie grab a book and started reading while sipping a hot tea.

Time flew so quickly as it now time for the kids to sleep, Anna forced them to their bed. She turned off the lights after she warned them with stern voice that they will be sleeping outside if they still didn't know how to sleep.
