"Lilly, are you ready?"  Katelyn yelled up the stairs. Katelyn, my sister, had the most beautiful brown hair and amazing hazel eyes. She was basically a model. Perfect in every way.

"Yea, I'm coming now," I yelled back. My blonde hair was a mess from the night before. I looked in my mirror and decided no makeup today. I raced down the stairs ready for the adventure of the day.

"Is Zander coming? I want to take the right car," she needed this information so there wouldn't be a repeat of last time when Zander was squished in the front seat and I was made into a piece of paper in the back.

"Yea, he is," I yelled from the kitchen while stuffing my face, "We don't need to pick him up. He said he would walk over after he got up."

As I finished my sentence Zander walked in. He had on the standard human clothes, white shirt, white pants, and white shoes which didn't match his blue eyes or his black hair at all. Everything was white, I hate white I wish we were allowed to have colors again. Before the great color war I could wear whatever color I wanted. "Lilly?" He waved his hand in front of my face. "Are you ready to go?" He had a concerned look on his face. 

"You two, car, now!" Kat yelled. She wanted to leave so she could see Irish, her partner. He was nice, tall, reasonably handsome. When we met him, the program wasn't on, so they got married right before. The program was this huge white, again I hate white so much, building. It was supposed to be an AI built into the building. It created different realities and didn't need help from anyone. It could run itself if it needed to. 

Once we were at The Program, Kat spotted Irish right away.

"Irish, wait up," Zander yelled as he ran over to him.

"Looks like Zander got to him first. Poor Kat will have to wait till their done talking..." I joked as she punched my arm.

We walked into the building, it said our names as we walked through the entrance. When I went through it yelled "Error" This happened every time. I knew I was an error, but I didn't want to be reminded. People were only allowed one kid, and that one kid in my family should have been Kat. But our parents had to give up their place in society, because they wanted me. Why would anyone want me?

Irish looked at me with kind eyes. "You can walk through now. I fixed it." His twin brother had died fighting in the color war. His parents were heart broken so Irish had to find different ways to get out of the house. Even though Irish and Kat were married they couldn't live together here. The government didn't want anymore children to be born.

I walked through and for the first time in a long time it said my name. It was creepy but it was something.

We were lead to a large room where we were told to leave our stuff and wait till we were called. Irish and Kat were taken in first, then Zander and I. The Program room was huge, and had hundreds people all hooked up to these white boxes in front of them, five people per box. Lea, Michael and some other fat old guy were getting hooked up to the box where Kat and I had to said goodbye for now. Zander and I were lead to another room. a two person box. I looked at Zander who was sitting in his chair. I sat in mine, then it happened.
