Story Idea: To The Moon
The story takes place far in the future, humanity has been gathered up to live on the moon because of wars on its surface. These resulting wars lead to the animals mutating strangely and developing forms of sentience.
A young child finds themselves crash landing back to Earth and ends up befriending the new locals. He grows attached to their new friends to the point where they chooses to stay on earth rather than the moon. And there's a good, non-disclosured reason too: human family either sucks or would be in danger if they go back
And robots get sent down to retrieve the child but some were reprogrammed to kill them. The majority of the friendly bots were killed but one escaped and she meets with the Kid and their Pet-Friend telling them the situation.
So this unlikely trio is trying to survive both the untamed wild of future Earth and the complicated non-disclosured politics of the moon people.
So here be the main trio: A human child from the moon, An intelligent animal companion, and a friendly robo sentry that wants to protect the human still.
(Plot from a dream I was having. Feel free to take the idea. Not sure how to do justice for this plot.)
