*~Chapter One: The stranger named Vash~*

Angela sat down in front of her computer, she opened her pack of Winterfresh gum, took out a foil-wrapped piece, un-wrapped the gum, and put the piece of blue gum in her mouth. She was getting ready to log on to AIM and YIM to chat with her friends, she was also getting on to Netscape. Angela clicked on the screen name she wanted to log-in under on AIM, xoKawii Ichixo and the window poped up, showing four buddies online, and three away, and the rest were offline. "Oh good, Loren's on" she said out loud, to herself, although her mother and pets could probably hear her as well. She double clicked on her friend, Loren's, name and started to type in the text box.

Angela: Heya Lore.

Loren: Hi

Angela: How are you?.

Loren: good u?

Angela: I'm good. Getting ready to see if anyone is on my Trigun site.

Loren: Cool

and with that, Angela brought up the tool bar and clicked on netscape. She hit the drop down menu of http address, and clicked on her very own site.

She made this site for her and her friends, who loved Trigun. She blew a bubble with her gum as she signed on to her site, "I hope Lex is on" she thought as she scrolled to the bottom of the screen.

3 guests, 1 member online: Merry

She was Merry, not only was that her middle name, Just spelled differently -Angela Mary- but that was her nickname online that almost all her friends knew her by and called her, even though her first name was Angela, but she liked the name Merry, she didn't mind, the name fit her as well as Angela did. After logging-in to her site, AIM and YIM, an -AIM accept message- box poped up.

The_Future

was the screen name, she clicked accept. She liked when someone new IMed her. Would they be some secret person...a mystery? Or one of her friends with a new name.

The_Future: HI!

Angela: Hello!!!. Um...do I know you?.

The_Future: Nah I don't think so

Angela: Oh okay. Nice to meet you. I'm Angela :-) .

The_Future: What a pretty name

Angela: Heh, thanks. Um...is this Lex?.

The_Future: No sowwy

Angela: It's okay. Just wondering if you were a friend of mine. What is your name :-)?.

"I wonder who this person is" Angela thought, waiting for a reply "Ma, someone new IMed me!" she called to her mother, "Really? Cool, honey" her mother answered. "Yeah! The name is The Future" Angela said, glancing at the computer screen -still no reply- "Hmm, interesting name" her mother said as the phone rang, she picked up the phone "Hello? Oh hi, honey" she said and started talking to her daughter, Patty. Angela now focused back on her and the strangers IM box. Still nothing. She clicked on Loren's IM box again.

Angela: Lore Lore Lore Lore!!!.

Loren: WhaT?

Angela: Someone new IMed me, but wouldn't tell me their name.

Loren: Maybe Sam?

Angela: No. I don't think that this is, Sam. Ah they IMed me again!!!.

Loren: Ok

Angela clicked on her and the The_Future's IM box from the tool bar.

The_Future: My name is Vash

Angela: Vash?!. COOL NAME!!!. Is this Ty?.

Angela was asking since Vash is the name of one of her all-time favourite Anime guys: Vash The Stampede. Her friend, Ty, role-played as him and her friend Lex was alot like him.

The_Future: Haha my name isn't Ty. It's Vash!

Angela: Heh. Sorry.

The_Future: Don't be sorry :-D

Angela: Heh, kk. Hey, how'd you get my name???.

The_Future: Planet Gunsmoke

At this, Angela froze, Planet Gunsmoke was the planet on Trigun. Then she laughed lightly and sadly, to herself. "My Trigun site! That's what he meant! Like I would- or could- ever meet the real Vash. Ha"

Angela: Oh cool. Do you like the site?.

The_Future: Yeah!!! Really cool!!! I made a topic-thingy

Angela laughed lightly, she went to the tool bar and clicked the box for her Trigun site, while she did so, she told her mother about this 'Vash person'

*Doughnut Shop*

was the topic name, Angela smiled and clicked on the topic made by The_Future. She read the post he had made.

*Vash walks into the doughnut shop and stands at the counter* Hello!!! One dozen doughnuts please!!! *After awhile he walked out with the box in his hands*

Angela laughed and clicked 'Reply'

*I walk over and see you* Hello. I'm Merry!. I work at Bernadelli's Insurance Society.

she posted. As she did so, she took a deep breath. "I wish I could visit the real Planet Gunsmoke" - the next thing she knew, she saw a swirl of sand and blue sky, and then she passed out.

*~End of Chapter One~*
