Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ Robo Kitties Space Force ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )
[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

This is a rewritten version of what was originally chapter eight, but it works much better as a prologue, I believe. Also, this gives the characters more history than they originally had.

Author's note: This is the oldest story I've written that I still have. That is, the original was the oldest. This is the rewritten version. It will likely be much different than the original, although the basic premise is the same.

Janni leaned against a railing, staring at the train tracks below. Occasionally he glanced at his wrist; at the watch his father had given him. Right now it was 5:45 PM. The train should be here soon, and so should she.
His prediction was correct. The train's whistle blew as it chugged to a stop. Janni glanced to either side of him, and when he determined that nobody was there, he stared at the train.
People were filing out, and others were ready to board. It was 5:47. She said she would be there exactly at 5:45. They always met at 5:45. Where was she?
The last of the passengers boarded. Janni checked his watch again. 5:49. The train would leave soon. She was never late. She had always met him, every day, at exactly 5:45, and not a minute later. He frowned. The train left.
He let go of the railing and walked away. She wasn't there. Why hadn't she come? He went down the escalator, waiting by a post for the next train. People walked by, paying no attention to him. He glanced up toward the railing on which he was leaning a moment before. She was still not there.
Janni wasn't sure whether he should be annoyed or worried. She had stood him up. But she never did that. He wished he had some way of contacting her. A phone number or an address. Anything.
5:58. Two minutes until the next train came. He'd have to leave at the next one. So how could she be late? Janni bit his lip. People gathered around him, waiting for the train.
It was 6:00. The train came. Again, people left and people boarded. Janni remained in the same position. He had fifteen minutes. They had fifteen minutes. He looked toward the railing again. She wasn't there.
The train left. 6:05. Ten minutes left. He was angry now. She was going to let him face this alone. He shook his head. No, she'd be there. She promised. She'd signed a pact.
It was 6:12 and she hadn't arrived. Janni sorrowfully looked toward the railing. He knew she wouldn't be there. He knew…
But there she was, looking down at him with pain in her eyes. He nodded toward her and pointed at his watch. She nodded back, understanding. Then she turned around and ran toward the escalator.
She reached him at 6:13. “I made it,” she said.
“I'm glad,” he replied. “I thought you'd flaked on me.”
“No,” she said. “I had a hard time getting out of the house. My dad was suspicious. He thought I was going to meet you someplace.”
“I see,” Janni replied. He glanced at his watch. It was 6:14. “Sammi, are you ready?” he asked.
She nodded. “Absolutely.” She reached for his hand, which he gave her. The waited, facing the train tracks.
“6:15,” Janni said. Immediately after that, the train whistle blew. “Let's go.” The two teenagers stood on the edge of the tracks, waiting. The people around them wondered what they were doing. And when the train came into view, Janni and Sammi stepped down, ignoring the startled cries of bystanders.
The train came.
