The story concerns a boy & girl who leave their village looking for adventure and fabled 'old' city. As far as I remember they were living in a post apocalyptic world.
Eventually they find the city. One detail I remember is that they see old movie posters outside a cinema.
At the end of the story, spaceships land. Humans who left centuries ago have come back to warn all poeple that the earth will be destroyed and that they must be evacuated.
This sounds like two stories... Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly...
Hopefully somebody knows what I'm talking about.
