Chapter One: Introduction
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13 Years Earlier
Space, a mystical being all its own. The year was 1996, and the young scientist Professor Utonium was staring up at the stars from his cozy home in South Pokey Oaks. Looking through his telescope, he was observing all of the stars that he could see. Though he did not major in astronomy during his university years, he at least minored in it. The space above this Earth fascinated him greatly.
"Fascinating," Utonium said, tuning his telescope a little.
His eyes were suddenly caught to something streaking across the night sky. He rounded his telescope on the thing and watched as a colorfully white comet soared across the night sky. His eyebrows rose in fascination.
"Fascinating," he repeated, watching it.
He continued to watch it, before he suddenly realized something. This comet wasn't soaring; it was falling! Gasping, he looked up from his telescope and watched as the comet hit the Earth's atmosphere (resulting in a loud boom) and falling into the open fields somewhere to the northeast of S. Pokey Oaks. It was in the Peach Creek district, though it was unclaimed and unnamed. Astounded, the professor ran down the roof and to his car, barely saying a word to his monkey Jojo. He hopped in his car, started it up, and drove down the streets to the crash landing sight. So many thoughts ran through his mind.
What just happened? Why did a comet fall to Earth? How did the Earth survive?
He came upon where the comet had landed. Smoke rose from the small crater it had formed. Surprisingly, no one had bothered to come out and investigate it. Although, not many people lived out here in this area. He stopped his car close to the crash site. Jumping out of his car, he ran to the sight, and looked in. His eyes widened when he saw what he didn't expect. Where a space rock should have been, a humanoid being slept there. Curled in a ball, he realized this was a humanoid baby. The white light from the comet was now surrounding the child, acting as a form of protection. Cautiously, Professor Utonium stepped closer to the crater, and tried to touch the baby. The light seemed to brighten, but dimmed into nothing. Now, with only his car lights to be his guide, he picked up the child and looked at it. It already had hair. Had he looked carefully, through the light, he would have seen that it had blue hair. Now, with the light gone, it had dark brown hair. Professor Utonium breathed steadily, looking at this baby. This alien baby.
What am I going to do with it? I don't know how to care for a baby. Looking down at the baby, he quickly thought, Maybe I should take it to a hospital.
Close to a half-hour later, Professor Utonium found himself, at a quarter to midnight, sitting in the waiting room of a local hospital. He twiddled his fingers, anxious to see if it -the baby- was alright. And to see what it was. A boy, or a girl?
Does it matter? I can't care for it. I don't know how.
He hung his head in guilt. Where would this baby go?
"Professor," the kind doctor said, catching his attention.
"Yes ma'am?" he asked, standing to his feet.
She smiled sweetly, holding the baby, now wrapped in a pink blanket.
Pink. Pink blanket. A girl.
"She's doing very well," the doctor announced. "Are you the father?"
"M-me? Oh no. No no. I, I just found her," Professor answered.
It wasn't a lie. It just wasn't the whole truth. The doctor's face turned into a frown.
"Oh. How sad," she said, looking at the child softly. "Who would leave a baby unattended to? Who would abandon her?"
Yes. Who?
"Were you planning on taking care of her?" the doctor asked.
"N-no. I, I wasn't," he said, looking away.
The doctor's face twitched slightly. She was frowning even more, but held her tongue. Who was she to judge? He was at least kind enough to bring the baby to the hospital, to be checked on.
"Very well," she said. Her mind was made up. "Since this child has no one to turn to, I shall take care of her."
Professor Utonium smiled, his face brightened.
"Really? Can you do that?" he asked.
"I dare anyone to stop me," she said, a hand on her hip as she stood proudly. "Now, to name her."
Utonium didn't know why he stayed around. Maybe it was because he felt like he should make sure the baby was safe. After all, she was new to this planet, literally!
"How about, Alice," the doctor said to the sleeping baby. The doctor smiled as she nuzzled the baby. "Yes, I think Alice shall do. Alice Spacebyte."
Utonium's eyes widened at the last name, but didn't say anything. Instead, he closed his eyes and smiled.
"I'm glad she'll have a safe place to live," he said.
She smiled up at him and nodded.
"So am I, Professor," she said, looking back at the baby. "So am I."
Later that night, or early morning, Utonium was logging his night, occasionally petting Jojo. After finishing up his report with the ending sentence: "Something about little Alice makes me wonder," Utonium placed Jojo in his bed and headed to bed himself. The future was open to possibilities. Who knows what the little alien baby could do? He was engrossed with his thoughts, he didn't see another flash of white fly through the sky.
Present
2009. 21st Century. This new century was gifted with having brilliant minds, such as Dexter and Double-D and even the villains Mandark and Mojo Jojo. And they even had great heroes like Ben Tennyson (nicknamed Ben 10), the Powerpuff Girls, the KND, Juniper Lee, and even Megas, who was driven by Coop.
But none could guess what Earth was in for. Even the KND's Moonbase didn't know what would happen. Nor did the Galactic Enforcers. But that was farther in the future. We cannot be worried about that now. No, our story begins with Alice Spacebyte. Before we begin, I should probably explain more about her.
Now at 13-years-old, and living in the Cul-de-Sac of Peach Creek Commons, Alice accompanies the Cul-de-Sac children to Pokey Oaks Junior High, and was even good friends with them, becoming close friends with the Eds. But even with the closeness, Alice always felt that she was alone. Seperate. Different. It always nagged at her, making her stay awake at night, flopping and turning in her bed. She always felt that she was an outcast compared to the others in her Cul-de-Sac. Little did she know, her differences would be what would save the world from the villainous Planet Fusion.
So, let's begin our tale...

Music Spotlight by StaindHeart
Hey readers I know I haven’t posted in awhile, but I was taking a bit of break to find new things to right about for both the band spotlights and anything I can think of right now, so then for my first band spotlight in many months I figured I would do Escape the Fate. They are an America post hardcore band from Las Vegas, with 3 full length studio albums and 3 EP's. They were currently on their The World is Ours tour, which ended on May 16. This band is also associated with the band Falling in Reverse. Their 3 none EP albums are "Dying is Your Latest Fashion" "The War is Ours" and a self titled one called, "Escape the Fate". They haven’t made an album since 2010 because they have been on tour for the past two years, giving them little time to create a new one. They play in concert with bands like Three Days Grace and A7X. That’s all I can type for now, concluding the spotlight for this week, Thanks for reading.
Riddles: Last issue’s riddle was answered correctly by Major, Zerowing21, and Kyra_Xyrespace!
