A/N: Sooo this is basically the prologue of this story I'm started writing but I altered it a little bit to fit a short story format. By the time I publish the book (if I publish it, that is) the prologue will probably be a lot different haha. I wrote this really quickly... Enjoy!

Colors filled the streets.

To the right of him there were two men holding hands.

Laughter, families, pure joy, and love surrounded.

Love love love! It filled the street, making the beautiful colors.

They marched to a stage. An African American man in a crisp suit stood raised on it, smiling down at the beauty that was below him. Although he was far away, Robin was sure he heard the man laugh. It was a wonderful laugh.

He tapped a microphone. "Citizens of my country!" Laughter quieted down and in silence people of the crowd raised their gaze to the man. It was not silence of fear, but of respect for this good man, Robin noted.

The man, the President of the country, scrunched his dark eyebrows and said, "No, silly me, I shouldn't have said my country. This our country." Someone behind Robin whooped happily at that, and the President grinned.

"This our country, of equal people!" he continued, "We have left behind our ridiculous negative thoughts of race, gender, sexuality and other differences, recognized who we truly are: human beings! Today, on this beautiful holiday of National Humans Day, we celebrate who we are and what we have become! We are-"

"Humans!" the crowd cheered.

Robin felt his heart was going to burst from happiness. How wonderful his country was! He wished every day was National Humans Day.

The crowd started stomping, creating thunderous noises, almost violent.

A screech penetrated the air, and Robin woke.

He made out the faint outline of his brother writhing in pain next to him., The white woman stood over Robin, a belt ready in her hand.
