Moving Day
It's the year 2110 in Manhattan, New York City. The sky is covered in ash, the air is thin, and pollution is everywhere. The twins, James and Ayden, woke up to the voice of yelling. "BEN!" yelled a man, "MY SON TOLD ME THAT ONE OF YOUR KIDS BULLIED HIM!"
"Y-yes sir but I was-" Ben began.
"BUT NOTHING BEN!" said the man, "Until then, your debt is going up. Big time!"
"Mr. Pike, p-please?" said Ben. But the door was already shut.
"Hey pop? What's wrong?" asked Ayden
"Your mother's blaming you kids so she can get money from the loan sharks." Ben said.
"Dad, when'll this all stop eh?" asked James. "I'm getting scared."
"I-I know son." said Ben. "My inventions aren't needed and we keep losing money because of your stepmother." He walked away and there was an akward silence. Until Ayden spoke of course!
"Why did your dae even divorce your mom?" Ayden asked
"Well, considering you weren't in the family at the time, I'll tell you the truth." James said as he beckoned Ayden closer, "he never divorced her. She was taken hostage."
"By who though?" Ayden asked.
"Never figured it out. Dad just tells me she was taken and murdered by the LSs." He said.
"The whohaas?" Ayden asked.
"The loan sharks." he answered.
"Kids," Ben said, "I'm gonna try Central Park today."
"Ok dad." James answered. "Come on man, let's watch some TV."
*      *      *
As Ben set up a table with all of his inventions, a woman passed by. She stopped to look at his inventions. "My My." she said fascinated by Ben's inventions. "Did you make these sir?"
"Huh?" Ben said, "Oh, hello madam. Urm, yes I invented these. They're supposed to help get rid of pollution but *cough cough* no one seems to care."
"Well why not?" she asked.
"I guess people these days don't care about the environment."
"Can I try one out? I can pay." she said.
"Uh sure!" he said, "$30 please." The woman placed 30 gold coins on the table? "What th- GOLD?!" he wondered. Tne woman clicked a button on top of the landmine looking instrument and suddenly, a burst of fresh air poured through the ashen clouds.
"INCREDIBLE!" She exclaimed. "You've found a way to alter nature itself!"
"Yeah!" Ben said. "Oh I'm Ben by the way."
"I'm Celestia." She said shaking his hand.
"Wow! Nice name!" Ben said, "It must 'radiate' your personality!" They both shared a good laugh at the pun. However he stopped laughing when he saw her transform into an alicorn.
"Mr. Ben." she said, "I want your inventions on my planet."
"R-really?!" he asked suprised. She 'beamed' at him. (LOL NOT SORRY!) "Okay! I'll do it! Wait, can my family come?"
"It depends on how many people." she said.
"Only 3 and a dog." he replied.
"You must get packing then!" she said 'warmly' (ok sorry for the sun puns.). Ben quickly ran back to his tiny apartment with the gold.
*      *      *
"KIDS!" Ben yelled.
"Honey Shut up I'm trying to freaking sleep!" said Eileen the stepmother.
"Dad, what's up?" asked James.
"I have some good news!" he said happily, "We're moving!"
"YES!" Ayden said excited."We're skipping town! I'll get the bear traps!"
"Woah Woah kiddo! Calm down! We're not running from the law! We're just moving to a better place. So come on let's pack up!" And without a question, the family, except the dog of course, packed up. An soon, they were walking towards Central Park, where they met the Alicorn again.
