The time was six in the evening, and the sun was just starting it's journey behind the horizon, the moon rising to take it's shift. The moderate October breeze engulfed Sid as he left the airport behind him, walking towards his destination. This was his first time ever setting foot on an airplane, and even the ride couldn't erase the worries of his troubled mind. He was leaving his family behind to aid another. They'd understand eventually, right? Had he really made the right decision after all? A quick gaze down at his build proved he wasn't the muscular type. He wouldn't even be able to take care of himself in a desperate situation. Let alone someone in need.
'Am I really cut out for this? Do I have the strength and capability to protect someone at all costs? Either way... Too late to turn back now.' The endless chain of thoughts persistantly rang through Sidney's mind as he nervously entered the vast and dimly- lit structure set out before him. One last glance over the address card assured that this was indeed the right place. Oh, why did he ever volunteer for this? If nothing, he'd at least get the satisfaction of being there for someone.
A range of teenage girls spanned the place, many of them socializing among one another, waiting to be picked by their new guard. Which one of them would he pick? How would he even choose?
Assuming himself to be one of the first volunteers to arrive, he seated himself in a far corner. Maybe he'd just take whomever was left. Or he'd let one of the girls pick him.

"Alright already, dad. I'll miss you, too. But I have to be going now. See you whenever" Zade waved a final good- bye to his father before hastily setting out and down the barren suburb streets. He didn't seem concerned about anything, really. Except being late. Thankfully for him, the building wasn't far from his home. In fact, it was in walking distance.
His father had been kind enough to braid his golden locks one last time before he left, as well as give his overcoat a fresh wash. Feeling good as new, he made his way to the oversized structure with a spring in his step. How unusual of him.
Zade forced both the double doors open and made his entrance, immeadiatly surveying the area for a quick pick on who to choose. When he noticed he was a few minutes early, he settled a bit, impatiently waiting for the rest of the guards to get there. He tapped a foot and twidled his thumbs, just trying to pass the time.

Stars fursiously blazed outside the ship that Sawyer had almost unwillingly boarded. Earth seemed just a bore to her, even though she'd never been there. Her thoughts drifted to her home planet of Umbriel, which was truly one of Uranus' moons. She still blamed herself for not sticking by the side of her people, despite she was only twelve. She lost all her status when she was captured, and going to Earth was an attempt to gain back what she could.
The ship only housed three at the time, though it was certainly large enough for more. The captain was only there so Sawyer wouldn't get any ideas. If it weren't for him she'd likely be landed on her own planet by now, where she belonged.
The other person on the vessel was some green- haired, blue- skinned guy. She didn't really have a good impression of him, but only because he was her superior on this mission. She despised being out ranked, having gotten so used to being the top gal as a child. After avoiding the guy for so long, she finally ran into the time when she'd have to confront him. And she was procrastinating. It was her duty to alert him now that the ship was approaching their target planet. He'd have to help the captain land in a safe and secluded location.
Finally, she began to wander about the interiors, searching for her higher- up. "Ned!" She obviously hadn't given any effort into remembering his name. "Hey, Ned! We need you!"
