Fading Alive(9)

“Wow! How is that possible for you to guess our names so accurately?”
“That’s a secret! Even I don’t know the exact answer... Time is ticking now. Using your way, or our way, let’s paint with all the colors of the world, sing off our friendship!”
A week had passed with memorable moments these three friends enjoyed. Every day, they spent a lot of time drawing, painting, crafting, and singing. Regardless of their cultural gap, music and art built a strong connection among them. As they sensed every detail of their life, even some trivial matters, all the fears faded away as understanding was enhanced.

The time of happiness and union is always short and fleeting. In one stormy night, seven days after their first encounter, Aquarius went missing! As the chaotic noise outside awakened Anang and Daren, they furiously ran outside. It was indeed the “aliens” coming, taking Aquarius along with them and attempting to reshape her mind.
“Please, STOP NOW! I know we are basically the same, so let go of my friend!”
The “aliens” stopped immediately, realizing something was different. Among the “alien” crowd, Aquarius was visible along four adult figures. However, the brightness in their eyes fainted.
