“You have to help us keep the peace,” the leader of the Neutrons was telling me. “We can only do so much before they overpower us. Thwarting us, they agree on.”

You’re probably completely lost. And that’s perfectly okay. Trust me, I was in your shoes only about…wow, it was hardly a day ago when this madness began. But let me backtrack and catch you up. It’ll make explaining what comes next a ton easier.

When you really break it down, I suppose this all has to be the fault of the public school system. More specifically, the cafeteria. Now, I must first say, I wasn’t one of those gung-ho pea-brains who believed the cafeteria food is really there to kill us. Trust me, I know it’s inedible, but that doesn’t mean it’s a conspiracy.

Sorry, I’m starting to babble.

Anyway, I went through the lunch line, as I do every uneventful school day. It wasn’t even really weird that the bread was molding something serious and the lettuce in my salad was limp—way past the due date. No. The weird thing about this lunch, I regret discovering, was the little forest amidst the mold. Yes, that’s what I said. A forest. With towering trees and a few animals, several different shrubs I didn’t recognize.

Why did I notice this? I was bored and wasn’t going to give myself food poisoning by eating this trash. So I did what I normally do: I observed. Turns out in this case, observing was so the wrong thing to do.

I didn’t notice, however, that the more I watched this odd, out-of-place scene, the more I was sucked into it. Before I knew it, I was standing beneath those menacing trees. And, might I add, not in a very safe spot either.

A group of little people surrounded me…or more I separated them. There were about 20 in all. Half of them were the brightest blue you could imagine, all sporting frowns, daggers shooting out of their eyes. The other half were dark neon pink—almost red—and smiling, though in a teasing way.

They yelled and waved fists at me, complaining that I had interrupted them. Of course, I didn’t even know who they were. Yet, like any sane person, I knew enough to leave them alone.

Too bad we all can’t be as sane.

No sooner had I left the miniscule gathering than I run into what could be considered the equivalent of the American government. Except they call themselves the Neutrons, peacekeepers of Atoms Woods. Predictable, huh?

These guys kidnap me and take me to their until-death-does-he-part leader.

His first question for me was: “What are you?”

“I’m a girl,” I said plainly. I wanted to add, “Duh”, but it seemed inappropriate. When he stared at me confusedly, I elaborated, “Of the human variety. You know, Homo Sapiens.”

“Ah. Perfect. You’ll help us,” he said hurriedly, almost crazily.

Much to my…loathing, he had just volunteered me for what could only spell trouble. You remember the little blue guys I mentioned earlier, right? He went on to explain that they are Electrons—so named because of their constant negative attitudes. And the aforementioned red guys…yeah, you guessed it. They’re Protons—always positive about something.

Supposedly, they’d been warring for ages. The Neutrons had kept it in check all this time, but now, their grasp was slipping. And they requested outside help. So, voila, here I am being debriefed on my mission: making sure everyone got along with each other.
