Probability of Love - Анастасия Кучеренко

At the same moment, the inscription on the main screen of the Higher Space Mission Observation Gallery appeared: "The first stage of the Mission failed." Professor Everon was gloomy. Nervously tapping his cane, he was pacing around, angrily muttering: “First, there was Pinfar, now here is Elia … But they were the best in the legion! And most importantly, they loved each other. And yet, they failed the mission. Was I mistaken about them? There is only a slight hope left …"

However, nothing changed on the planet Lilia, as time passed. People kept inventing more new types of weapons, they mercilessly devastated woods in pursuit of technological progress and still preferred driving cars, killing the planet wildlife with exhaust gases. The Lilians still preferred their daily comfort to true love… Meanwhile, a girl named Lilia was growing up much to her parents’ delight.

One day she was playing at the sandbox near the house. Some unfamiliar boy, who was couple of years older, was absorbedly driving his toy tank on the sand. The girl took a few steps towards him, looking at him with her eyes, the color of blue lilies.

— What are you staring at? — he asked indignantly. — Don't stay in the way, go and play with other babies!

The girl did not answer, her eyes seemed to reflect the whole Universe. A tiny tear appeared, slowly flowing down her cheek.

— Well, okay, you can stay here, just don't interfere. You see, there is a military operation, — the boy said reluctantly. “I am General Roma. And you will be a soldier… What is your name?

“Mission is possible. The probability is one to a million, ”the inscription on the main screen of the Higher Space Mission flashed.

“So, there is still some hope! — the usually restrained Professor Everon suddenly felt a stormy surge of joy, like in his youth. — My best oracles Pinfar and Elia, you have to complete the Mission of Love on the distant planet Lilia. Learn to love, release this divine energy, and the whole Universe will thank you and help you! Just recognize each other, I beg you!”
