Rearth
The wind rustled the pages of the abandoned books, drawing Amber and Megan in. They stepped through the sliding glass door, long cracked by time and animal attacks. Starting with collecting books from the library shelves, one of the books caught Megan???s eye. She set her stack down and called Amber to her side. They tentatively opened it and began to read.

A top secret planet, Rearth, was discovered today on one of the space program???s ???Beyond the Galaxy??? shuttles. After they perfected space travel in 2050, missions have been sent off to find new planets. Rearth is the first one found that people could live on. The only reason I know is Dad is the top scientist on the project. Just an odd thought, WWIII still hasn???t stopped since 2015, 85 years ago! It seems that all the leaders don???t want it to end. As much as I think war is necessary sometimes, it doesn???t seem right to keep fighting for fun.

The only programs to not be cut were the agricultural program and the weapons program. The space program is still alive only because of funds they saved early in the century. It is coming to a slowdown though. The weapons program, on the other hand is thriving. This is no surprise, considering the war.

I couldn???t decide who to bring with me, Kelsey or Mariah, but then Mom told me I could have them both come. See, every scientist gets to bring their own family and two other families with. Mom and Dad said I could pick both of the families because their friends are already going. Sixty families total are coming, so with each family having an average of four
