Quatre. G

It was the moment Quatre entered the atmosphere when he knew, right in his heart, that Earth was special. He gazed through the monitors, impatient for the moment when he would be able to breathe fresh air and see the mountains and rivers with his own eyes. He had forgotten for a moment that he was to land in the desert and when he remembered he felt a small pang of disappointment. That feeling faded away as soon as the cockpit opened and he was able to gaze at the great expanse with his own eyes.

While he was in space Quatre had dreamed of the forests and the sea, a landscape painted blue and green. The desert had never crossed his mind for more than a fleeting moment. Maybe that's why it took him by surprise.

On the days following his arrival he spent every able moment just gazing at the world around him. The sand was warm and vast, it expanded as far as his eyes could see and it shined golden under the rays of the sun. The sky turned from clear blue to dark indigo and deep black, and under the light of the stars the desert looked almost like a calm sea.

There was green in the desert too, a bush, some grass and then an oasis. It wasn't much but when seen with the backdrop of the sand it was more than enough. The blues and greens Quatre had so longed for seemed to shimmer brighter under the desert sky.

He could lie for hours on the cooling sand after the sun had set. He would gaze up at the sky, breathing the clean dry air and remember the times he had looked down at Earth from space. This, he thought over and over again, was certainly the better view.
