Chapter 15

Seraphina dusted her small hands off at the door. She and her sister, Medina, had come back from a run around their little sector Cambria again. It was small and didn't even have paved roads yet. If you went out far enough though, you could see the gates of the private sector, Hidden Secret. It was supposed to be like a giant amusement park of fun for kids, with no grownups. No one in the colony didn’t know about Hidden Secret. Seraphina would have wanted to work there some day just to see it, except her life was already being mapped out with Medina.

The dust blew up on them as they ran home, and they were trying to brush the dirt off before going inside the house.

Seraphina entered first, just a bit quicker than her sister. She saw Tracy stick her tongue out at the table, and she reciprocated. Tracy was stuck in a white dress against her will.

"You finally decide to come home?" Tracy asked in a snob manner. "It's your birthday, and you still can't stick around?"

"Oh, come off it, Tracy." Medina crossed her arms. "We need to move; you don't get it."

"Yeah, well, I don't want to be some stupid hero when I grow up anyway." Tracy leaned against the table. "It's all stupid."

"It's not stupid," Seraphina’s mother said as she came into the room. She smiled at Seraphina and Medina. "Heroes can change the world and having heroes in our sector could really bring some business to Cambria."

"We're not heroes," Medina reminded her. "We just have some extra strength, that's all. Shawna down the street thinks it's something in the environment."

"Well it's not, I can tell that you will be heroes. Your true powers haven't kicked in yet." She left the room a moment and retrieved some gifts. "Are you ready to open your presents before you leave again?"

"Sure," Seraphina and Medina said at the same time. They sat down next to each other, each in their usual red and blue outfits.

"Oh, wait! The cake. I made it just for you two." Their mother left a second and brought out the cake. "One piece before we open presents. Then we are celebrating tonight by leaving in a shuttle!” she said excitedly. “We are leaving to colony 43842, AKA the Calibri Colony, Honeys! We are going to a stadium to watch real live hero trials."

"I don't want to watch hero trials," Medina said. “They’re scary enough.”

"Yeah, and I don't want to eat cake," Seraphina protested.

"Uh uh.” Their mother wasn’t putting it up with it. “We have shuttle tickets and everything is paid for. Now, I condone your new behavior every day, but not today. We are going to see the hero trials and you are eating your cake."

"You guys are such pieces of work," Tracy said as she reached for a plate. "Who turns down seeing the next Adventurers in action in the sector and birthday cake? Spoiled brats."

"Tracy does have a point," their mother argued. "Now sit down and relax.
