Flashback-something in the past

Skeleton King-his own words

"Nova. Training as usual I see?" The silver monkey strolled into the room casually.

"Oh, shut it." Came the reply from another who was yellow and training roughly.

"You shouldn't train so much." The silver one stated simply.

"Well, we were meant to fight, so we have to get stronger." The yellow replied hotly.

"Nova, come." His name was Antauri.

"I said no, Antauri! I'm training." Hers, was Nova. He sighed. It just wasn't enough. Nova was too stubborn. Of course, growing up around the other males, she must've learned how to fend for herself and become more mature.

"Hey! Antauri!" Came a voice from a familiar...comedian.

Antauri turned. "What is it, Sparx?" He stared at the gasping and running red monkey.

Sparx stopped in front of him, panting. "S...seen Nova?"

"Here." She said, turning to him and smiling. She was quiet today for some reason..

Sparx moved past Antauri. "Chiro and I are gonna go play some video games at the arcade...wanna come with? I know how much you like to kick butt on Galaxy!" He hoped she would say yes. Even though today was...that day.

"No thanks. I've got training to catch up on and then I'm going to go patrol the city for awhile." She gave him the cold shoulder-or so it seemed-while turning away.

"You're such a busy person, Nova. Take a day off and have some fun." Chiro walked into the training room and over to her, eyes sparkling.

Nova shook her head in disdain. "You guys just don't understand. I'm trying to keep myself busy because...Ugh! You just won't get it!" She stomped out, feeling the tears well up behind her eyes. But she wouldn't let them see her cry. Not today.

Chiro watched her and sighed. "We all understand, Nova.." He stared as she walked down the hallway, past Antauri.

"You just don't want to talk about it."

This...was the beginning of her story.
