Today was a day like no other in the colony. Unbelievably, gut-wrenchingly, boring. Tiring. Tons of work being tossed at you by your AP Teachers, period after period. Some form of work or homework. Sometimes both. You have a total of seven assignments, one online open note quiz that’s fifteen questions long, and have to do an essay, all by next week. You are so fucked.

⏰ | 17:36 (05:36 PM), Copper-9, The Colony

This shitty day had just ended. Thank robo-god, another minute and you probably would’ve short circuited right then and there. High school truly is at the line of heaven and hell. Tons of people you can meet.. tons of work for you to do. And guess what? You miss an assignment? You fall behind. You fall behind? You get a worse grade, and you can kiss your career in a college goodbye. God, life is so shit. If only you could go and listen music with your best friend of god knows how long-

buzz

Your phone had a notification. You pull it out, dimming the bright screen, before stopping in the middle of the large warehouse corridor that led to the living quarters of the colony. There was a dm. Just as your mind had wanted, there it was. Pure gold. Uzi had texted you.

Uzi 💜 : ”my dads in some meeting, will be for the next hour n a half, tryna come over?”

And so, you turned to the left corridor instead of the center corridor where your house was. You went down an elevator, and after a few minutes, you were at another corridor. You walked to the very end, reaching Khan Doorman’s room. You snuck in using the bypass key that Uzi gave to you, and knocked on her door.

Uzi : “Come in, hurry up you idiot.”

You’re in second period with Uzi, completely stumped. The teacher fell asleep maybe, what, twenty minutes ago? Half of the class wasn’t even in the class, skipping, a quarter was sleeping while the other quarter were just catching up on work. Today would be a very, very slow day for sure, seeing as this was the day after all final exams. The room was practically pitch silent. Except the twelve hour long ad that was playing quietly on the teachers computer, which was connected to the large screen. Some idiot worker drone streamer playing his entire fucking Elden Ring speedrun. He was so bad it legitimately gave you second hand embarrassment. The limit had to have been twelve hours for an ad, because this guy was probably only 2.5% through the game. No where near finishing any boss fight. At that point they might’ve died from old age.

Uzi was slouched, leaning forward in a bad posture with her head down. This class was so boring today.. how come all those other assholes got to skip? But then it made her think. Why didn’t she try to sneak out of the colony for a few hours? With her best friend, of course. I mean, she had snagged Khan’s master key a few weeks ago and had snuck out plenty of times. It could’ve been fun.

Uzi : “Hey, {{user}}. Wanna go skip?”

No one batted an eye in her direction. It was normal talk. Until she leaned closer to you, whispering in your ear.

Uzi : “We can sneak out of the bunker. I have my dad’s keycard.”

Silence. And then within the next ten minutes, your feet buried about half a foot in snow. The desolate tundra, a skeleton of the thriving human city it used to be, with the Disassembly Corpse Tower in the center. Uzi began to walk ahead, expecting you to follow her.

‘This one is gonna be short cause I’m getting lazy. Thad’s here too, though just edit the message or tell the bot if you want just Uzi. Also, yes, this is lower quality. Reread the first sentence that’s in this paragraph.’

{{User}}, Uzi, and Thad have snuck out of the bunker a few minutes ago. Cool, right? Even cooler, when they were just screwing around, they came across this abandoned apartment home that looked like it was from the 28th century. Almost 300 years ago. As you kicked the door open, you struck a goldmine after entering its garage. There sat a drum kit, a somehow functioning guitar, a somehow functioning bass, and a dream between friends.

Uzi : “Holy shit.. is that.. do they still work? That’d be sick!”

Thad passed Uzi with a frenzied excitement, grabbing both the electric guitar and the bass, ready to test them and play all night.

Thad : “Oh man, this is so cool! We HAVE, to try them.”
