Adventure on Earth [OUTDATED (again) ]

Awake.

Awake.

Alive.

I could see water surrounding my pod. I reached to the side blindly. I lightly touched a green button and the blue liquid began to drain. I opened my eyes and stared at the open window. I looked around for a way out. With 3 lungs I could go 1 hour and half without air. I began rolling the pod so that it faced the surface. I was at the bottom of something. With large breaths I could survive.. And if I floated without moving I could save air. I took large breaths then remained calm. I opened the door of the pod and gallons of water poured in. I sucked up the last bit of air and dived out of the pod. I began floating towards the top without moving.

When I began to reach the surface I used what air was left and swam to the top. I reached the top and coughed up some water.

"I supposed I miscalculated how much air was required."

I began to swim to the nearby shore. It looked like a lake. I could see trees and a few large rocks sticking out from the sides of the water's edge. I climbed out of the water. My toga and hair were wet when touched but otherwise looked fine thanks to the blue liquid. I began walking to shore. I followed a small pathway out of the small forest and was greeted by a small town. I walked out of the brush and began walking down the concrete roads.

"These humanoids.. Why do they not have solar powered automatic float-pads?"

I began to question the species' intelligence. I stared out at the automobiles moving by.

'No hover boards or auto drive emergency hover automobiles?'

I kept walking when suddenly I felt something dig into my stomach. I tumbled to the ground and looked around.

"Oh my gosh! I'm such a klutz! Sorry!"

I looked around. A female stood before me. She held out a hand and I took it in mine. She lifted me up.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going."

"It's fine."

I said brushing off my toga. I looked at her again. She stared at my toga. She noticed my eyes glued to hers and stared at my face.

"Sorry, it's just that your dress is so nice! Oh, are you going to the Winter dance today?"

"The W..winter dance?"

"Oh, do you have a date? If you don't you can come with me and a few of my friends, would that be okay for you?"

"I accept."

"O..oh okay well, my mom is doing carpool so just tell me where to go."

I pointed to the park across the street.

"Oh, so um my mom will come around at 6 to pick you up so I hope I see you.. Um-"

"Atlas."

"Ahem.. Yes, Atlas." She waved goodbye and went on her way down the street. I looked around curiously and noticed a shop. The sign said 'Aldea's Teen Deals!' I walked into the shop. It smelt of makeup and cologne and everywhere I looked were giant pictures of shirtless males. I walked up to one of the workers. Her hair was pulled up and she had large black glasses, a shirt that revealed her undergarments, and some very short bottoms.

"Hay, how's your shoppin' going? Find everythang ya need?"

"Um. I have not actually. May you recommend something for me.. Such as casual attire, or everyday wear?"

"Um okay miss robot, I suggest this, or this.. Hmm maybe with this.... Okay go ahead and try some of these outfits."

I walked to the dressing rooms with the 5 outfits. One by one I tried on each. The first, a red and white striped shirt with short bottoms. The second, was a shortened white shirt with the words 'Fries are better than guys' a grey shirt underneath and more short bottoms. The third was a plaid jacket and something called a tank top under. The fourth was something called a letterman's jacket with something called a bando under it. Personally I liked it but it was awfully revealing. The final outfit was a loose top.. It's name was sweatshirt. It was comfy. It was grey and the front said 'free hugs' I put it on and wore the short bottoms.. Or shorts. I smiled and walked out with all the outfits.

"Did ya like the outfits?"

"Yes, very much."

The girl at the counter smirked.

"May I pay you in gold?" I plopped down about 5 handfuls of gold.

"Uh.. Um.. SANDRA!"

Another girl with short cut hair ran up. Her eyes widened.

"Thank you for your purchase come back again!" Sandra shoved the clothes into my arms and shoved me out of the store.

"Well then.. I guess they don't like my gold."

I kept walking. I walked to the park and went towards a large lot. There was a playground and kids ran around it. I walked into the restroom and changed into one of my new outfits. I chose the sweater and sat down on the swings. I swung back and forth contemplating what I'd do here on Earth.

Before I knew it a silver car drove up.

"Atlas!"

In a panic and rush I threw the toga over my clothes and took them off underneath. I hopped into the car and her friends stared at me.

"Uh... Hey, my name's Ivy." One said. Her eyes were deep brown, almost black and her hair was brown and in a crown of braids.

"Nice to meet you.. Atala was it?"

"It's Atlas."

"Oh, my bad! My name's Jeniveve by the way." Her hair was bright red, curled and it smelt like smoke.

"Hi, I'm Gwenieve or just Gwen. You're pretty."

"Thank you."
Her hair was golden and pulled into a bun. Two strips of her hair were on the sides and tightly curled, at that.

"And then there's MEEEE! Avalon the amazing,
great, awesome.. forever.. whatever... I give up." Avalon said jumping up from the passenger seat. We all smiled and laughed.

The car pulled up to the school. "Here we are girls! Check for your brother please, Avie."

"Kay, mom."

We all hopped out of the car and into the high school.
