[B]Prologue.[/B]

From a history book edited in the year 2203.
After the third world war, planet Earth was divided into four areas: America (capital Country: Mexico), Africa (capital Country: Egypt); Europe ( capital Country: Russia) and Asia ( capital country: Japan). North pole, South pole and Australia are to be considered free countries: every citizen prosecuted over the Solar System could refuge here.
Every capital Country has the right and duty to monitor the amount of its citizen. For this reason researches on DNA manipulation will be encouraged.
Not every free citizen will be allowed to make children. Those who are, are legally authorised to sell them, previous legal contract. Sold children turning to major age have the right of look out for their biological parents, who don't have, anyway, duties in their behalf. People authorised to reproduce could sell out eggs and seed, even without a matrimonial certificate. It is forbidden to sell more than four units per person.
Note on social status: usually it's a common thing, when you turn 18, to look for your biological parents and solsibs (sold siblings). Nowadays, people consider as family the one they are grown up in, but it's not considered odd or rare, to keep in touch with your soldsibs or make friends with them. Now that most of children are manipulated in vitro, it happens frequently that couples authorised to have them specialise in a particular prototype of child: it happens, for example, than two scientists decide to sell out two or three children, and all of these children will have a gift for numbers.
Nowadays, people who decide to make children on their own are regarded as strange, for the society has developed such a deep control on science, that no one wants to risk to parent an imperfect creature anymore.

Julie

Oooh, posting the fun on here now too! I'm excited! :) Comes in handy when EWFn keep going down...grumbles...

Intresting.

One story with two very talented writers...

This is gona kick butt.

Can't wait to read some more.

Sounds very cool... very "Brave New World"ish.. Love it!

Hey all! This chapter, and up through chapter 7 will be written by Mena, then we'll start taking turns. :yes: I'm just posting this for her. Hope you all enjoy!


Chapter one.

Elijah's POV.

Walking through the white corridors of the Centre feels particularly odd on early mornings, when a soft mist floats from the swamps that, year after year, push deeper and deeper to the core of the city. The neon lights can be quite annoying when your eyes still long for the peace of sleep, but there's nothing I can do: it's Tuesday, first working day of the week, and my eyes will have to be patient this time.
The sliding doors open on a round, snow-white room. I enter yawning, approaching the giant microscope in the middle. I turn it on and it buzzes like a sleeping tiger.
- Good morning sunshine!- a soft voice behind me says.
- Good morning moonshine!- I laugh. I turn over to face my colleague, a beautiful young woman with long, dark brown hair and brown eyes. Actually I have to slightly lift my head, as she's taller than me.
- Gosh Amber, how can you manage to be so beautiful on Tuesday morning?- I ask rolling my eyes. She sticks out her tongue.
- I don't go sleeping at four in the morning, Doctor Wood. Why don't you marry her, instead of flying a fifty miles on your car every night to see her?-
I cannot help but smiling: Amber is one of my best friends, she has been since we started attending university together. Then, we both graduated and, being among the five best students of our year, we were sent to work here at the C.R.I.M.S.O.N. We've always been close, that's why she reserves the right to mock me about my love life.
- Not every one can be luck as you are.- I mumble. Amber is engaged to one of our physicians, and she doesn't miss an occasion to remind me that I could already be married if I were a little more responsible with women.
- Shut up Elijah! You could already be married, if only you were a little more respon…-
- Amber, darling! Lecturing Elijah again? It's Tuesday morning for Heaven's sake!-
Amber and I turn at the sound of the voice. I bow solemnly down, grinning:
- Saved by the bell! Thanks Billy! And good morning Jess!-
Billy Boyd, the researcher, and his colleague Jessica Ryan walk in. Jessica smiles radiantly at us. She runs inside, grabs her purse, pecks Amber on a cheek, throws her white coat aside and runs to the door again, all in a ten seconds.
- Sorry guys got to go I'm late!- she yells. Billy steps on.
- Wait a sec! Ain't you gonna leave me doing all the work alone again? You already owe me two days… I cannot come back home late tonight, Andie will kill me!-
Jessica places a lock of red hair behind her ear. She smiles like wanting to apologise.
- Sorry mate, I really have to go. My solsib is coming over and I have to pick her up at the airport.-
- But Jess, I thought your solsib was working in town!- I frown. Billy grins.
- And sleeping with our general Director, even if officially they're just mere friends…- he says under his breath.
Jessica punches him.
- Cody and Johnny ARE just friends…- we all share a look and laugh. - Oh, whatever… anyway Amber, Cody is the middle soldsib, I'm the younger, and then there's another one, the elder.-
I cannot help but smiling.
- Another foxy redhead like you two?- I say and Jessica glares at me. - What? Cody sleeps with my Director and you always refuse to date me…-
Jessica turns away blinking at me.
- Consider this Elijah: if this girl is related to me and Cody, it means she is smart enough not to date you as well!- she says cheerfully.
Everybody laughs and I blush, watching Jessica's long legs moving her red head and sharp tongue out the room.
- What a woman!- I sigh.

Yay!! Chapter one!!! good stuff! as expected! So solsibs are the biological siblings right? This is so cool and very unique! I can't wait for more!!!!

Oh and what does C.R.I.M.S.O.N. stand for?
Julie

Center for Research and Implantology...uhm... I just got til here :blush:
suggestions? :laugh:

a lil more...

Chapter two.

Jessica's POV.

The sky traffic on Tuesday morning can be defined with one word: hellish. All skyways are a mess of cars blowing impatiently their horns in every direction, and the way to the airport is not an exception. I put on some music, trying to relax as I wait to release from the traffic jam.
My mind goes back to Elijah and I laugh slightly to myself. He's so cute! And what's this story again, that I don't wanna date him? Of course I want, but my way. His one night stand reputation is too well known, so if he really likes me, he'll long a little more.
I take the mental note to tell my solsib to keep her hands off Elijah, as the guy is right: another redhead, like Cody and me… another passionate gal with a gift for arts… she's a writer and a photographer. Cody has this thing with music just like as I love acting… yeah, we've got it tattooed on our forehead that we are related.
I wonder why she has decided to move to the US… well, I know she'll tell me as soon as we'll meet.
A car behind me blows its horn angrily, driving me out of my thoughts. The skyway is now free enough to move, so I speed up to the airport.
***
I make my car land in the first parking spot I find and I run inside the waiting room, trying to look in a ten direction together to spot her.
Finally, I see her. She's sitting quietly in a corner, reading, her red curls covering her cheeks. She's dressing in black. Holy Jesus, why does this woman only dress in black?
I wave into her direction.
- Mena!- I call.
She jumps on her feet and runs and embraces me. I loose my grip and we nearly fall on the floor, laughing.
- Jessica!- she screams in a full European accent. - Look at you! You're so beautiful! I missed you so!-
I laugh.
- I missed you too girl! I haven't talked to you for ages! Ok, let's go: you'll stay at my place until you'll find out something.-
She hesitates.
- Are you sure? I don't want to bother…-
I roll my eyes.
- Just don't steal my toothbrush and my man, and you can stay all your life long!-
Mena' eyes wide.
- Man? Do you have a man?-
I stick out my tongue, walking to my car.
- Well, not exactly, but…-

YAY! It's up here so I dont have to catch up on EWFN!

:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

oooh wow girls this is great. Its really different than other fics.

Keep more coming, I'm reading.

:kiss2:

Brilliant

MY miinds kind of blank right now...

It's great though.

Great chapter! I'm so liking this!
Yeah, i can't think of any words for the acronym...could M be medical? I son't know haow it would fit, but... Anyhoo, I'll think a little more.

Alrighty, post more when you can!

Julie

Great new chapter!


I can't figure out that acronym either...

aw, love that chapter for the second time around. lol! and, yes, now my brain is busily thinking of ways to crack that acronym. I should be able to do it! I know about a million of those crazy medical ones from lab. moehaha! *hugs*

thankyou all for your replies!! Hey Ambra, we got readers!! :hug:

a lil more 4 u all!!! :wub:

Chapter three.

Johnny's POV.

The alarm ring buzzes hysterically in my ear, driving me out my warm nest of slumber. I roll over to shut it up, but I hit it too hard and it falls on the ground with a heavy thud. Close to me, Cody moans, hiding her head under her pillow.
I roll over again to peck her naked shoulder, the only visible spot I find among blankets.
- Cody… Tuesday morning!- I call gently.
- Again! Why don't they make weekends longer, like, from Friday to Tuesday?- her whining voice comes in a suffocate whisper out her pillow.
I laugh.
- They already made it longer a hundred years ago… do you remember? Monday was a working day. Anyway, get up now. I'm getting late for work.-
Cody moans, kicking away blankets. I cannot help but smiling seeing her sleepy eyes and her short red hair in a mess.
- What's the advantage of being the general Director of the best institute of the country if you cannot even arrive late?-
I smirk getting off the bed. I start the hard search for my clothes, trying to remember where did I throw all my stuff last night. It's always the same, when Cody sleeps here.
- Actually,- I say. - I am already late. I bet Billy and Jessica are already there. If I wait some time more Viggo will call me up again…-
In that very moment the phone rings.
A cunning smile illuminates Cody' face as she gets up from the bed.
- Speak of the devil…- she says.
I pick up the phone.
- Doctor Depp here.- I say.
- Johnny? Viggo here. Just wanted to know if you got lost again.- I smile. Viggo and I have been roommates at university, and childhood friends.
- Don't worry, I'm coming. Did my kids got there already?- My kids are my colleagues, Billy and Jessica. As the C.R.I.M.S.O.N. is divided into several sections, every director has his group.
- Yes I think they are, and mine too: Amber is always the first to get there, and Elijah follows in a short.- he sighs and I frown. - What's up Vig? You sound tired.-
I can figure him out scrolling his head as answering.
- No big deal… the babysitter resigned again… it's the second in three months. I guess I'll have to bring Ruby to work with me today.-
I smile.
- Well, it seems all of your colleagues love her… and don't worry, you'll find someone else.-
- Yeah, I spoke to Jessica this very morning: she said her solsib is coming over, and she may need a place to stay in. I thought of renting her a room if she'll babysit Ruby.- he pauses. - Well, I called you up to make you come here, and then I keep you on the phone… I'll better hang up, so that you'll speed up.-
I laugh.
- I'll be there in a minute, Doctor Mortensen!- I disconnect the call.
- Gotcha!- Cody yells triumphantly, getting out from under the bed. She's holding her green pullover. This means she has won the game "find all of your clothes" again.
I remember something Viggo told me and I frown.
- Cody? Do you and Jessica have another solsib?-
She nods.
- Yeah, Mena Williams. She's the elder.-
- Viggo said she's coming over.-
- Yes, from the European block. I don't know why she decided to move there… maybe Jess knows it. Anyway I'm glad she's coming, I haven't seen her in ages.- she puts on her shoes and stares at me.
- What? Still there? Move up man! You got five minutes to get ready, or my car will take off without you!-
I roll my eyes.
- What's the advantage of being the general Director of the best institute of the country if even a crazy redhead who's nearly 20 years younger can boss me?-
Cody blinks walking to the kitchen.
- But baby, I'm not an ordinary one!- she says cheerfully. I nod, laughing: this is definitely out of question.

Hiyas!!

Great chapter!

Kick ass! I wonder if that will actually happen permanent long weekend!

Yay! Cna't wait for more!

Julie

thankyou Julie!! :wub:

Chapter four.

Dom's POV.

- Dominic Monaghan, could you please wake up and join us on Planet Earth? That DNA sequence won't break up on its own!-
I scroll my head, trying to focus on the microscope before me. I smile to my colleague.
- Sorry Jacclyn! But Tuesday is Tuesday!-
- And Amber is Amber!- she mocks me. I feel blood colouring my cheeks.
- What? Am I not free to think about my fiancée sometimes?- I say, pretending to be offended. Jacclyin sticks out her tongue.
- Not while you're melting two DNA sequences… we don't want to create children with tail just cause our first physician is in love and he doesn't pay attention.-
I roll my eyes.
- You're so insensitive!-
Of course I'm joking. I know Jacclyn is happy for me, but she's always so concentrated on our work…that, anyway, deals with the core of research here at the C.R.I.M.S.O.N.
The door slides open and my best friend, Doctor Billy Boyd, walks in. He looks kinda pissed off, but he's smiling. Not that this matters much: Billy smiles all the time, but I know him well and I can guess when something bothers him.
- Hey Boyd! If you came for those DNA combos, they'll be ready in a second.- I stare at him. - Something wrong boy?-
He scrolls his head.
- Jessica left to go to the airport, she's got a solsib coming or don't know what. This means I'll have to work alone today, and I don't think I'll manage to finish on time.- He sighs. - I'll have to call Andie and tell her I'll be late…-
I frown.
- She won't be happy…- I whisper. Billy shoots me a resigned look.
- Wait! I'll help you out… maybe we won't finish at six on the dot, but you won't have to spend your night in here.-
A smile illuminates Billy's face.
- Really? Thank you so much! But, what about Amber?-
I scroll my head.
- Amber works here, she knows how this kind of things work. I'll go and tell her we'll meet later.-
Billy sighs.
- I feel guilty… you proposed to her just last week and I bet now you're longing to spend some time together, and I force you to stay here…-
I pat him on his shoulder.
- If it wasn't for your advice and support, I don't know when I would have found the guts to ask Amber to marry me. And she's aware of it as well. So don't worry.-
Jacclyn walks closer, handing Billy a transparent tube.
- Children with tail ready!- she announces. Billy shoots her a shocked look.
- Children what?- he repeats.
I burst into laughter.
- Nevermind boy! Go ahead, I'll be there in five minutes.-
Billy nods walking away. In that very moment the phone rings. I push the button and a cheerful voice reaches my ears.
- Here is the General Director of Local Changes of the Weather Institute of Old New York. May I talk to Doctor Dominic Monaghan please?-
I burst into laughter.
- Miri! You spent much more time blurting out your qualifications than asking for me…-
Miranda laughs in the phone.
- Well, I had to cross Hell to get such a long working title, let me bark it out sometimes, brother!-
Hearing the word "brother" Jacclyn turns and stares at me, widening her eyes.
- Oh, I'm sorry, Ms. Miranda Peterson, General Director of… darn, sis, I already forgot it!- she laughs again.
- Don't worry bro, you've got plenty of time to learn it by heart! Listen, I called to ask you if Amber and you want to come and dine at my place tomorrow.-
- Great! Of course dear… but… wait! I promised Billy we would have dined together…- I cannot hide disappointment in my voice.
- Well, invite him! No, you know what? Invite everybody! I haven't seen you guys in ages…-
I frown.
- But Miri, we are so many! Amber and I, Billy and Andie with the kids, Jessica, Elijah, Cody, Johnny and Viggo with his daughter… plus, Jessica and Cody' solsib just arrived in town. It's not that I don't want to, of course, but I know how busy you are.-
- I'll ask Andrea to come and help me out… really, Dommie, I'd love to have all of you guys here with me!- she begs quietly, and my heart melts.
- Ok darling, I'll tell them.-
- Great! Now excuse me, I have to go… weather forecast of today says it should rain in two minutes, so I'll better hurry up.-
- Raining?- I whine. - Again? C'mon sis, ignore it for this time!-
She laughs.
- It's my job boy! But don't worry: tomorrow we'll have a beautiful day.-
- Ok, I trust you sis… by the way it's you who makes the sun shine!-
For a second, she hesitates.
- I can hide it or show it off, but I cannot make it shine, Dommie. It's a slight difference, but much more important than how it seems.- she breathes. - I'm not almighty, sweetheart.-
I sigh. I feel a heavy, dark cloud is covering up out cheerful conversation. I don't wanna leave her in a sad mood.
- You're enough for me, kid.- I say sweetly. - I'm proud of you.-
Miranda breathes heavily on the phone.
- Thank you, Dommie.-
- I'll see you tomorrow then!- I say cheerfully, then I disconnect the call.
Jacclyn stares at me, amazed.
- You sister works at the Weather Temple? Why didn't you tell me before?-
I scroll my head, absent-minded: the cold wave of sadness hasn't left me yet, but I can't show it.
- I'll go and help Billy.- I say without answering and I walk quickly out the room, to hide the tears in my eyes.

Chapter five.

Andrea's POV.

- Don't worry Miranda, I'll be there in half an hour. No, of course it's not a problem to me! All right then, I'm coming.-
I disconnect the call and take a deep breath. The clock on the wall shows it's only four in the afternoon. I sigh, massaging my head. The mirror on the wall of the hall frames a pale, tired face. Under my brown eyes, dark marks scold me for my sleep deprival. I look so pale… well, more than usual. I stick out my tongue and the woman in the mirror sticks out hers, obediently.
- You're twenty-five and you already look like a zombie!- I say out loud. The woman in the mirror lowers her eyes, like wanting to apologize.
- I know, it's not your fault, if your husband works all day and half night and you have to carry on everything on your own.- I bite my lower lip. What time it was, when Billy came back last night, too exhausted even to talk? And this morning he crawled out of bed before sunrise to leave again. I'm almost losing him…
But this very morning, when he woke up in the darkness, I heard him in my doze. I felt him leaning in and softly kissing my lips. "I'm sorry my love, I have to go again… but things will get better soon, trust me."
A tiny smile curves my lips. I trust him… I know he loves me with all his soul. Sometimes, it's just this thought that keeps me sane.
A sudden crash outside violently drags me out my romantic fantasies. I run outside to the porch where the noise came from. There, the biggest flowers pot lays on the ground in pieces.
- It's not my fault.- a tiny voice says behind my back.
- Yes it was. You were playing the Ninja Phantom again and you bumped into it.-
- You spy! You lie!-
- You spy, you lie!-
I quickly turn back, my hands on my hips in what I hope is an intimidating attitude.
- Silence!- I command.
They immediately freeze, looking scared at me. I try not to laugh. My children, my masterpieces… two perfect little devils, almost identical, with my pale complexion and dark brown hair and Billy's green eyes. A wave of love overwhelms me, but I try not to show it out.
- So, what happened here?- I ask, my eyes shifting on their little, terrified faces.
As usual, it's Blanca who speaks first. She points out at her twin with her tiny hand, announcing triumphantly.
- He did it.-
Alejandro pushes her away, glaring.
- You spy!- then he blushes, lowering his eyes. I knee down before him.
- Ale, is that true? Just tell me and I won't get angry. But Blanca is right, when you do something wrong you have to tell it.-
Billy's beautiful eyes stare at me from my son's face.
- Won't you get angry?- he repeats, scarcely persuaded. I nod. - I didn't do it on purpose. I was trying to…- his chin starts to tremble. - Sorry mum.-
My heart pounds furiously inside me. It never ceases to amaze me, this stunning feeling that binds me to them. I would have never imagined that something so great could exist.
I nod solemnly.
- It's ok, but just for this time. Now let's go and wash your hands, we must go.-
- Where, mum?- Blanca asks.
I get up.
- To Miranda's, we'll help her preparing the dinner for tonight. Lots of people will come, it will be fun.-
Blanca's eyes shine.
- Uncle Dom will come? And Amber?- I nod.
- And Elijah?- Alejandro adds. - Elijah is good: we always wrestle and I always win!-
I smile.
- Of course you win, little boy, you are strong!- I lead the two of them inside the house. - Come on now, we're getting late!-
