"You will need to put this on" Seth informed

He walked up to Charlotte-Mae, placing an oval shaped object around her face, moving some of her hair out of the way, pressing a small button on the side, causing a clear shield forming around it as it shaped to her jawline, acting as a suction cup,

"As we have said before. . " Sara trailed off, putting her own mask on "our atmosphere is unbreathable. What you remember . . is not how it is now"

"But I could also help" Charlotte-Mae replied "with what you have" gesturing to her device "I can help regenerate life within the plants and trees, the atmosphere will be breathable again"

Seth smiled softly, lacing their hands together as the door to the ship opened, the three of them walking down the light ramp, stepping onto the docks,

"Where are we going?" She asked, looking at Seth

"The laboratory" he answered "it is vital that we give our information to other scientists" earning a small nod

". . . How do we get there?" She asked

He pointed to the two hover bikes, causing her to look over in that direction, a bright smile forming on her lips. The three of them made their way over to the bikes, Seth mounting one as Charlotte-Mae put the other strap of her backpack around her shoulder, letting Seth take her violin case, placing it on the side of the bike, a shield forming around it as he released the handle. Charlotte-Mae got on behind him as Sara mounted her own, the bikes hovering off the floor, her arms wrapping around Seth as they began to rise, quickly speeding away from the docks. Her eyes trailed over everything, her heart breaking when she saw the dying plants and trees, just like they said on earth, shaking her head slightly. They weren't like the plats she had seen in the shack, it was the exact opposite, and all she wanted to do was jump off the bike and bring life back to them.

Some time later, the three of them dismounted the hover bikes, making their way inside a building, Charlotte-Mae holding on to her violin case, knowing that she was the only one who stuck out like a sore thumb. Seth and Sara led her through the building, over to their parents lab, the brunette looking around in amazement, causing them to smile slightly, as they removed their masks, Seth removing Charlotte-Mae's mask, causing her to give him a small smile. She looked back around at the lab, turning her body around as well, looking up at the ceiling. Everything was either a white or an off white color, but it all matched perfectly with the work stations and equipment, but the technology was obviously more advanced than what earth had.

Holograms were at every work station, ones that measured different stable and unstable items, calculating algorithms and coming up with different solutions, and Charlotte-Mae was completely amazed by everything. But nothing was the same as it had been when she was younger, which meant she would have to get used to her surroundings. A small sigh emitted from her nose, adjusting her the strap of her backpack and lightly tightening her hold on her violin case, continuing to look around.

"Finnik, Elli-Mae!" Sara called out "we have returned!"

"Good!" A male voice announced "let's begin, quickly"

"Can I see the schematic of this place?" Charlotte-Mae asked, looking around "the structure of the building seems very interesting compared to the structures on earth"

Elli-Mae's head shot up, recognizing the sound of that voice, a gasp emitting from her when she looked at Charlotte-Mae, tears forming in her eyes,

". . . Azalea?" Elli-Mae asked, looking at her

The brunette teen looked over to the woman, who looked no older than thirty years of age, a soft smile forming on her lips as tears formed in her eyes. She set her backpack and violin case down, running over to her, throwing her arms around her as her tears fell, Seth and Sara smiling at the reunion. Finnik stopped what he was doing, looking at the teen that was wrapped in his wife's arms, tears forming in his eyes as well, Elli-Mae holding the teen out at arms length, taking in her appearance, her chocolate brown curly hair matched her own, the same eyes, but her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she saw the nose piercing on her left nostril. She looked over to the older male, a tear falling from his eyes, walking over to him, causing his arms to instantly wrap around her.

"Azalea" he said softly ". . . my little flower. All these years, we have never lost hope. Charlotte-Rose and Maddox will be thrilled upon your return"

"Actually . . ." She trailed off, pulling back slightly to look at him "I kind of go by Charlotte-Mae now"

More tears fell from his eyes, his hand softly cupping her cheek, causing her eyes to close as she leaned into his touch, the comforting touch she missed, his thumb wiping away a tear that had fallen from her eyes. He knew for a fact that she was his granddaughter, having used their old technology to age her face from when she was six, and Charlotte-Mae looked just like the image. Both of them never lost hope, they believed she was alive and they were glad that they were correct, and now they had their granddaughter back in their lives.

"Charlotte-Mae" Finnik said softly, causing her to look at him "a beautiful name for a beautiful young woman" nodding slightly

". . As much as I hate to ruin the moment, but . ." She trailed off, taking a step back "we have some work to do. I want my home back to the way it was before I was taken"

"And we will do everything in our power to do so" Finnik promised, looking at his wife with soft eyes "our home will be restored"
