Revised first chapter. Hopefully it's turned out better than before. :)

Ok so about this story, a heads up there will be humanized versions of 3, 4, 7 and 9. It takes place right after the movie (which is completely epic!) ends. This idea came from The Scientist's line at the beginning of the film "Life must go on". So, I was thinking their dolls, after their gone there is nothing (except for I guess maybe plants but I don't think that's what The Scientist had in mind). So I thought, if the talisman could give the dolls life than maybe it could turn them human, that way they could carry on the human race when the time comes.

Now onto the story!

"Our world is ending, but life must go on." – The Scientist

Four living dolls - stitchpunks as their kind is called - stood near the blaze of the tribute fire as they watched the souls of their friends lift into the sky.

A brown burlap stitchpunk, 9 was his name, stood by a small, round, strange looking object. He was the closest to the blaze, for he was the one who gave them the tribute…and the one who released their souls from the device.

A white stitchpunk, 7, came up to his side and intertwined her hand with his, the green of the souls moving to the clouds reflecting in their optics as the both gazed on.

She leaned closer to him and whispered "They're free now."

The expression on 9's face seemed to show comprehension, for he had not thought of it like that.

As the souls faded into the night sky, green lightning struck across the clouds. Next came something from the sky the stitchpunks had never seen….

Rain.

They knew it was some sort of miracle as soon as they saw it.

They watched as it fell on them…watching in wonder.

The twins, 3 and 4, too looked on in wonder. Then scurried over to stand next to 7 and 9.

All four stood in the rain, their attention moving from the rain to the fire.

"What happens next?" 7 asked 9.

"I don't know, exactly. But this world is ours now… it's what we make of it." 9 responded.

Theywatched as the fire die slowly.

All of the sudden, 7 and 9 heard a thump next to them, as if something hit the ground. Startled, they turn around and what the saw shocked them…

3 was out cold on the ground, 4 looking worriedly over him.

They were at 3's side in a flash.

"What happened?" 7 asked 4, as she and 9 inspected 3 for any injuries.

4 was blinking the lights in his optics at a blinding speed, clearly frightened. This caught 9's attention.

"It's ok, 4. We'll do our best to help him." 9 said, placing a comforting hand on 4's shoulder.

9 turned to 7. "Let's bring him undercover first… out of the rain."

He bent down and gently picked up 3.

As 9 carried 3, 7 lead them to a dry location with 4 trailing behind 9, trying to peak around 9 at his twin.

As they reached a building that looked like it had decent coverage, 9 discovered something amiss.

"Where's 4?" he asked.

Him and 7 turned around, and behind them a good distance laid 4 on the ground, out cold.

9 quickly gave 3 to 7, told her to go inside… he raced back to 4. He missed seeing the concerned look 7 gave him.

9 carefully picked up 4 and ran back to cover as quickly as he could. What he saw when he entered the location just about made his mechanical heart stop.

There… on the floor… out cold… next to 3… was 7.

He quickly, yet carefully, laid 4 next to 3 then made his was over to 7.

He just reached her side when he began to feel lightheaded.

Trying to shake it off, he checked all her vital signs. All was good.

But then blackness overcame him.

Out cold, he didn't see the green light than began to encompass them all.

Please review, tell me what you think! Am I getting the characters right so far? Everything clear so far? Remember I'm a first time fan fic writer, and helpful tips are greatly appreciated!

Will re-write 2nd chapter next. I have HW for now. :)

Thanks!
