Chapter 1 – Polar Ice
Experiment 626’s eyes widened with excitement as he blasted down the Galactic Federation’s ships. A manic laughter would soon follow and it would echo in space. More ships came but it didn’t dampen the spirit of the experiment one bit. He secretly wanted more to come so he could just blow them up.
Red alerts began to glow on the dashboard of the spacecraft and 626’s mind raced to figure a way out of this entire mess. His shiny black eyes locked onto the emergency hyperdrive lever in the police cruiser. He easily smashed the glass and engaged the hyperdrive. More alarms flashed around him as a crazed expression appeared on his face.
“Prepare for hyperjump.”
A glimmer of hope flickered in the experiment’s eyes as the police cruiser was launched into hyperspace. After being alive for less than a day he had already caused so much destruction but he wanted to cause more. The adrenaline that was pumping through his tiny body was his motive to keep going. Plans of galactic destruction were running through his mind as he traveled through hyperspace.
“System malfunction.”
Experiment 626’s ears perked up. This couldn’t be happening. He had calculated correctly that he would have enough fuel to get him further away into another galaxy. His black eyes shot from panel to panel, looking for a solution. The spacecraft exited hyperspace in a frantic spin, alarms and alerts rung inside the cockpit. The small creature grabbed hold of the stirring wheel in attempt to gain control. Warnings were flashing on the screen ahead of him. The police cruiser was heading directly for a planet.
“System malfunction. Planet approaching.”
The experiment went directly for the closest planet. He prepared as much as he could for the crash landing. His claws were pulling up on the stirring to the point where it was going to break. He slowly opened one eye to see what was happening. The spacecraft had entered the planet’s atmosphere and now was heating up. Panic flashed in the black eyes of Experiment 626 as his spacecraft crashed landed and everything around him instantly froze.
In a village just south of the Artic Circle, there was young girl, no older than seven years old, slowly making her way through the thick snow on the streets. She was well bundled up in her parka and thick fur boots. The snow was coming down pretty hard. If she didn’t make it to her school in time, she might be buried alive under a foot of snow. She trotted up the wooden steps of her school. She pushed opened the door only slightly to get herself in.
She didn’t have time to take off her outdoor clothing since she was late for class. She started to run down that hall in the direction of the first grade classroom. The voices of the other students and her teacher were coming out of the open classroom door. The young girl tried with all her might to sneak into the room, unnoticed. The other students had seen this and they began to make noise to get the teacher to notice, Especially Myrtle, Lilo’s one and only enemy.
“Lilo!”
The young girl’s body froze and her head immediately snapped around to see her teacher looking at her. Her attempts to sneak into the class failed thanks to a certain someone. She put her clothes at her desk and slowly walked to the front of the class. The teacher sat down at his desk and Lilo took out a few items from her bag. They were doing presentations on their heritages and where they came from. It happened to be Lilo’s day to present, on the one day she was late.
“Go ahead, Lilo.”
“My family is from Hawaii. We are Hawaiian. I lived there on the island of Kauaʻi until two years ago when we moved here. My Dad got a job here so we all moved together because families should stick together.”
Lilo continued her presentation with some unique items that can only be found in Hawaii. She showed her old dancing uniform but didn’t put it on since it was too cold. She had pictures of her home, the beaches and the people. Many memories floated back into her mind as she showed the pictures to the class. Her old home had so many colors and interesting people. Here there was little color and always the same people.
“I think you should go back to Hawaii,” Myrtle spoke aloud. “I think Alaska would thank you for it.”
“Myrtle that’s not very nice,” the teacher stood up.
“No, she’s right.”
Lilo head sunk as she took her things and headed back to her desk. If her family would have stayed in Hawaii she would still a family. Right now, it was just her sister and her living in the town. The room went deathly silent as the teacher looked for something else to present to the class. Lilo put her head on her desk. She really didn’t want to be in school. Every day was the same. It never changed.
The teacher finally dismissed the class and all the children ran out to prepare for their rides home. Most of the children in the first grade were waiting for their parents to pick them up. Lilo stood off to the distance to try not to be noticed but it was impossible. Myrtle came by with three other girls following her. She was dressed in the best fur parka in the village.
“Hawaii is so weird,” she crossed her arms. “I guess the people from there are too.”
“I’m not in the mood.”
“Whatever,” she didn’t quite get the reaction she wanted. “Your presentation stinked… but not as much as you.”
Lilo head shot around to glare at the carrot top. Myrtle seemed quite proud of herself. It seemed her only motive in life was to bug Lilo. Every day, she would say comments to get a reaction out of her but after some time Lilo just ignored her. Today was not a good day to pick on Lilo. She threw down her bag and jumped Myrtle. All three girls that were standing behind her screamed and backed away. Lilo was a tough kid and punching the carrot top felt refreshing.
With the commotion coming from outside, the teacher came running out and stopped the two children just in time. Lilo’s eyes grew wide as she realized what she was doing. She quickly stepped away from the teacher and looked down at her feet. All the other children were hiding behind the teacher. They never knew Lilo could be so violent.
“Lilo,” the teacher said calmly.
“I’m sorry,” she immediately said. “I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry.”
“Lilo, you know you can’t hit the other children.”
“I know… I’m sorry…”
The teacher just sighed and let the others go. Lilo grabbed her bag and sat down on the steps of her school. She watched as the other students met up with their parents. Myrtle was taking her personal dog sled back home. Before she went, she turned around and stuck her tongue out at Lilo. She simply looked down at her hands and waited for her sister to pick her up.
The older children were now being let out and there was still no sign of her sister. Lilo sighed and stood up. It wasn’t the first time her sister had forgotten about her. She picked up her bag and stepped down from the school stars. The winter winds were picking up and the snow was blowing everywhere. Lilo could hardly see three feet in front of her. It was the longest walk to her home that she had ever walked.
Lilo slammed the front door of her home. The noise echoed throughout the house and it was clear that no one was home. The young girl’s heart sank. She pealed off her clothes as she walked up the stairs to her room. Her room was empty bedsides a few toys and furniture. It wasn’t as full as her home back in Hawaii. She climbed into her bed and held her homemade doll, Scrumpy.
The sound of the front door closing brought the young Hawaiian out of her thoughts. It could have been only one person and she didn’t care much. The sound of her sister’s voice filled the house but she didn’t bother to answer. Her bedroom door opened and her sister was relieved to see her there.
“Lilo, why didn’t you answer me?” she was worried and a little angry.
“It doesn’t matter, Nani,” she looked down. “I’m here, aren’t I?”
“Your teacher told me what happened today,” her sister sat down on the bed. “Is there something wrong?”
“Everything’s fine.”
“Oh Lilo, I could always tell when you were lying.”
“Just leave me alone, Nani.”
Nani sighed and slowly left the room. She hated to see her sister so sad but there was nothing she could do. Lilo sat quietly in her bed. Her eyes slowly wondered up to her window. The sun had long since gone down but there was still light in the sky. The young girl made her way towards the window. The night sky was alight with all different colors, just flowing into one another.
The northern lights were the only good thing about living in the north. Lilo would spend most of her sleepless nights sitting next to her window and she would the sky in awe. Tonight seemed different than all the others. A bright flow of light began to fall from the rest. A green star had fallen from the northern lights. The little girl closed her eyes and put her hands together. She was going to make a wish and maybe this time it would come true.
