Susette grinned, her long black hair hanging oilily in front of her face, head tipped slightly down, giving her an almost eerie appearance. Su, however, did not care whatsoever as to how creepy she may appear at that moment in time.

Susette Francis Ronalds was giddily overjoyed.

The experiment had worked.

It was a complex issue, and it had taken quite a bit of challenge to get it to eventually work. Things weren't like they were back in the beginning of the milennium – most of the research necessary for this to work had been legal, and much progress had been made since the unfortunate death of Dolly the sheep. It was the year 2381, now, and things were changing.

Su had finally cloned the first human being.

There were, of course, ethical issues with it still. It was considered highly unethical to clone a living being, in the case of a human cloning even succeeding, and cloning a dead human would possibly not be legal once they made a law about it – but she would deal with that later. She'd hide her current specimen and then clone one of the dead infants from their bunch, for now, claim the child was her first success.

She had all the equipment necessary in her home lab – everything was taken care of.

Her love would never leave her again.
