Emily was 5 year old girl who was a real sweetheart, since she was born the whole family, her parents and grandparents seems to have a new life energy and happiness.

Since Emily can remember she always lived in this big house in outskirt of the city, just at a little forest. In summer she spent the whole time outside exploring the area and finding something interesting, like little eagle that she rescue when it was trapped under under the steps of terrace. She also loved to chase little squirrels and tried to make a friendship with them, no matter how much she tried to speak to them or to feed them with various nuts they always run away once all nuts were gone.

One afternoon, after the breakfast Emily was on her way to explore the world. There was a little butterfly with beautiful and very colourful wings, she admired butterflies and this example was a real beauty. It sat on one of the flower and Emily slowly approached the flower and started to chat. For a moment she thought that butterfly is listening to her and because it was moving her wings like she would nod with agreement. But them suddenly it flew again and left Emily with unfinished sentence behind. Emily run after and shouted:

“Wait, wait for me little butterfly. I thought that we are friends.”

In meantime, butterfly is disappeared behind the hill and Emily keep running till she was on the top of the hill, but then her attention was drawn by something shimmering over the green grass and like floating in the air. For the moment she forgot about butterfly and slowly approached the shining object. When she came closer, it was clear that this is a box, that was made of some sort of metal. It was nicely decorated with complex pattern and reflecting the sun rays.

Emily sat down and was fascinated with the object, that it was able to float in the air without any help. It was like a magic.

"What are you?"- asked Emily, “...and what are doing here”

There was no answer.

“I am Emily, do you want to be my friend?” continued Emily

The box changed its colour and turned into green and voice came out of box.

“I am Emily, and I am YOU. I am speaking to you from the future, from OUR future. This box is our communicator. I need to teach you here in this time so that you are ready for the future. Now sit down and listen.”

Emily was excited, finally she found a friend. Of course, she was a bit confused about what she heard but she was looking for a friend for a long time and here it was even if it was herself from future. It was just fascinating thing so she sat down and was ready to listen.
