It was the year after that dance that we married, and then I waited what seemed like forever to graduate so that I could be with him again, he was going to train to become a starship captain, and he would have to leave to go to the academy on the space-station. Once again, my parents had proved themselves strange. Ransoms parents weren't exactly normal either. Something had possessed them to allow us to do it, I was just happy that it had, and I could be with him for the rest of our lives, little did we know it would only be 10 years. I graduated from highschool, and there he was, waiting for me at the ceremony. I couldn't wait to jump into his arms, it had been 3 years of agony waiting to finalize us. I saw the pride and love on his face, and it meant more to me than anything in the universe.

We left for the space station shortly after, and it was like nothing I'd ever imagined there. I started making clothes, and had a little shop. I got pregnant with Lacey, and the feeling of it was magnificent, we were so excited and happy. That was Feb 16th 2356. Shortly after, the war with Ceriton began, and when Lacey was 4, Ransom left on his last mission, we were hiding in our room scared, and Ransom kissed me and our son for the last time, he told us that we should get to earth as soon as possible if anything happened to him.....

He left, and I watched his ship fly off guns blazing, from our window. I watched his ship explode, and the fear I was feeling before was dwarfed by the horror I then faced. I had to remain calm for Lacey, but I could hardly breathe. I looked for an escape route, and found an unguarded transfer platform. I went straight home, clinging our son to my chest.
