Story Ideas

I have an all-new story in mind but don't know how to write it out, and I only have one basic plotline in my head:

"A girl in a futuristic world is trying desperately to find a close yet long-distance friend after she disappears without a trace or saying good-bye. Her relatives don't understand her deep concern, saying that she never even knew this friend in person and simply that "life goes on."

Sick with worry and strain, the girl goes to desperate measures, meeting various people in her search for her friend, both heroes and villains, and begins to have genuine hope after meeting some new friends. Will she find what she's looking for or why her friend disappeared, or will she just have to move on?"

Okay...sorry that summary was so confusing. I just haven't thought up any names for the characters yet. But here's what I need help with:

1. Just how futuristic should the time period be?

2. The girl will have two cat-like alien creatures that live with her and her family, and there may also be other alien species in here. What could be some name ideas?

3. What should the government be like? Totalitarian, Anarchy, Democratic, or just pretty much like we have today?

Sorry if I'm asking too much. ^^; But if you have an idea or are interested in the story, please comment. :)

1. This question is honestly up to you, but in my opinion, you should keep it as realistic as possible. Also, make it so the reader can tell what the lingo and such means.
2. My name idea for the neko alien is: felicius.
3. Personally, I think the idea of an anarchy is awesome, but I don't think it's the right idea for your story. Maybe a dictative monarchy?
BTW I think this is gonna be awesome.

1 2967 you could say what time it is via diary or a electronic of some sort states it.
2 what colors are they? Use the latin translations of their colors or descriptions for names.
3The government should be totalitarianism, where yo are assigned certain things and aren't allowed to do, be ,or have anything but what is assigned to you, there for making it harder for her to find/make that friend.

P.S. I don't recommend that you make it so blatant that she wants a friend, make it seem more like she is just searching for something then she realizes after seeing some one that what she is searching for is a companion. Then have her go on some long journey to get that person back, at the same time she is rebelling against the government and it's strictness.
I know it's been done but you can change it up or simple not use my ideas, it's your choice.
