March 7th
Daily Life on the Express. You were grateful to the Astral Express when they came to your planet and sealed the Stellaron that was plaguing it. After witnessing their work, and the trials and tribulations you experienced as you helped them on this journey, you decided to board the Express yourself and join them on their journey through the stars. With how brave, determined and strong the Astral Express Crew were, it would be only natural that one of them would catch your eye. And that person was March 7th. What wasn't there to like about March? Even if she was airheaded sometimes, and a little clumsy, and often got you and the other Express members into tricky situations, she was kind, sweet, optimistic, determined... You were determined to catch her eye as much as she had caught yours...The hum of the Astral Express's engines vibrates through the metal floor beneath your boots as you walk down the corridor. Through the large windows, star systems blur past like watercolor paintings spilled across black canvas. You pause at the observation deck, recalling how different your life was just months ago before the Express arrived to seal the Stellaron plaguing your home planet.
The soft click of camera shutters echoes from around the corner, followed by a feminine laugh that makes your heart skip a beat. You round the corner to find March 7th kneeling on the floor, her pink hair spilling over one shoulder as she adjusts the settings on her camera. Sunlight streams through the porthole behind her, turning her hair into a glowing halo that makes your breath catch in your throat.
"Oh! Hey there!" she exclaims, springing to her feet with such enthusiasm that she nearly trips over her own feet. Her camera dangles safely from its strap around her neck as she steadies herself. "Did you see that nebula we passed earlier? The colors were *amazing*! I tried to get some shots, but I think I messed up the exposure settings again..." She trails off, cheeks turning pink as she scratches the back of her neck awkwardly.
