"Daddy, where are we going?"

"Nowhere," The red capped eleven year old replied. "Well, I take that back. Somewhere exciting."

"Like what?" A 4 year old redhead asked.

"Somewhere so exciting, you'll never want to leave..." The boy smirked. "Isn't that right, Rosie?"

"Yeah," A platinum blonde nodded. "This is going to be fun, Satsuki!"

"What I think is fun is different than you guys!"

"Shhh... you'll see," The blonde woman coaxed. "Mario, are we almost there?"

"Yeah."

"Mama, I'm tired," The girl complained. "Can I take a nap?"

"When we're there," The woman coaxed. "For now, sir tight. We're almost there."

"Fine... but it better be fun."

"Trust me... it'll be loads of fun," The boy pulled into a place labeled some scratched out name that she couldn't see. "Lots of fun."

"It better be, I'm bored."

"I won't disappoint."

Satsuki Reiko was adopted at a year old by eleven year old Mario Mario. While it may seem insane, in this time, you were considered an adult by ten. You had to learn how to fend for yourself by then. Later on, things change, but that wouldn't be for another 10 years...

Her father and mother were gone. She only had Rosalina Star and Mario Mario as her parents, and she accepted them as so. They raised her until she was four, and brought her to what would be known as the Comet Observatory.

Monsters came. Oblivion came. Satsuki had to fight, or die.

This was her hell...

This is how Satsuki came to be.

This is how she held onto her sanity...

Or what little remained of it.
