"Tina works at an elementary school?" I asked.

"Yes, I do." Tina said. "I teach, what you would call, fourth grade." I turned to face the Tina that was parking the car.

"And I'm the class pet?" I asked putting as much anger as I could in the words. Tina looked down and said with a sad tone of voice.

"Yes, you are. I'm sorry, but my apartment manager told me if I bring what they consider a pet in the apartment, they'd kick me out then put the 'animal' down." She looked at me. "Using you as a 'pet' servers a dual purpose. The first is we both get to stay alive and we both get have a place to live. The second is we just started the chapter on primitive life, such as humans. Some of the kids will understand better if they get to see a human, and don't worry I won't let them hurt you in any way." I sighed.

"Will I be staying in the class room, or will I be a 'take home' pet?" I asked sacrum filling every bit of my being.

"I haven't made up my mind yet, so for now you'll be staying put in the class room. If I decide to let them take you home, will you be ok with that?"

"Let me see them today and then I'll give you an answer."

"Alright. Oh and if you feel like you have to sleep go ahead and go to sleep. One Babylonian day is two Earth days, so if around lunch you feel sleepy go ahead and sleep. Are you ready?" I looked around for a second, then I looked at her and nodded. "Ok here we go." Her hands grabbed on either side of the tank. She then lifted the cage and me into the air, but I didn't feel like I was moving. I felt like I was sitting still yet everything outside was moving.

Maybe it's that generator's doing. I thought, but my mind was taken of the topic as I saw what was outside the car. A city was floating in the pink clouded, blue sky. Building as tall as the empire state were hovering in blocks. Hover type crafts buzzed around like mechanized bugs. They were all shapes and sizes. I could glance in a few of them to weird aliens. Some had antenna like ants, while others looked like something out of a horror movie. I then realized that I didn't know what we were walking on. I looked down to see a concrete like substance paved on the sky, or maybe it was paved on the anit-gravity device.

Tina walked into the school building, and, to my surprise, it looked very close to the halls of my elementary school. The office and guidance flanked you as you entered the front door. The halls had just enough space for two people to pass each other without touching. Odd posters hung from the walls scribbles written on them. Then suddenly English words appeared on them. Some were showing off the writing skills of a class of third graders yet another had orange clouds with names written on them. The title was 'Orange you kids great!', and it was in arched, rainbow colored letters.

We passed class rooms on the way to Tina's. Just like my elementary school, objects hung from almost every celling as poster of good behavior and support clung to the walls. Although my school never had the holographic plane, hover cars, and other unknown object that were flying around the room. Some class rooms had entire tribes set up on the ground, and some of them looked very human. Suddenly a metal door block all vision directly ahead. Tina stood still as a slot in the door opened up and her face was scanned. It was only when I looked back at the door did I realize that it wanted to scan me to. My gut told me to let it scan so I did. The door opened and the lights came on. Inside there was a holographic image that looked a little like Cortana from the Halo games.

"Bring a lower spices into the class room without alerting the principal huh?" She spoke in a cold tone of voice. "You know that's illegal, right?"

"Yes." Tina said in an equally cold tone. "I know the law, Ann. Just get me Harvey." She walked over to a windowsill and set the tank down.

"So tell me why I shouldn't fire you and then have that evil little piece of unevolved garbage killed." Came a deep husky voice. I looked past Tina, and saw a holographic walking image of a large man with is arms crossed. He was dress like he was going to a funeral black suit, tie, pants, shoe, and more than likely socks.

"It's nice to see you too Harvey." Came Tina's calm response.

"Answer me." He said. Anger filling his voice.

"Have you looked at Robert's past? He'd be perfect for these kids."

"Yes I glanced over it, and I don't see why he is so great." His arm lit up as he pulled it up to his chest. An orange page hovered above his arm. "He's a World War 3 veteran, lost most of his family to a terror attack, helped fight the second civil war in the United States, and treats anyone that earns his respect and trust, kindly." The paper went away. "None of that proves that....." I stopped listening and started thinking.

Is that really my history? Did I real fight in two wars? I thought, my mind spinning with the new information. Theories and unanswered questions filled every part of my being, not just my mind. I had felt the greatest awe moments before when I saw the holographic planes and such flying around, but that paled in comparison to the awe and shock I felt now. I looked up to see Tina looking at me, Harvey was gone.

"I...I'm sorry for zoning out Tina, but.... Is that really my history?" I said

"In a nut shell yea. Are you ok?" She asked with real concern in her voice.

"Yea I'll be fine. Did you convince Harvey or whatever to keep me alive?" A smile was her only response.
