"Sunrise…"

"A new beginning." A small girl, with almost 4'10'', with a smile and curious smile on her dark lips said as she finished her friend quote. She was looking with attention as her big and unmistakable brown eyes in a hazel form were moving side to side. Right to Left. Front to back. The plastic spoon in her dark hand was moving at the same rhythm as her eyes, like a beautiful melody when suddenly she let out a loud laugh making everyone that was on the subway turn to look at what she was doing.

"Right!!" She yelled really loudly in an excited way. Her eyes were still looking at the spoon with full attention but more careful this time. It was something in her eyes that made everyone thought that she was crazy. They were shining like diamonds but at the same time sad, hiding under a cover that was her simply and lunatic smile.

"Can you stop with that?" The other girl, right in front of her asked when she finally looked at her. Her back was rested against the handrail of the subway trying to hold at the same time the black bag that she was keeping closer to her. The girl with hazel girls looked down at her caramel watch checking the time. It was the second time in the last two seconds that she did that.

"Like that we don't arrive in time…" She commented under her breath, stopping for a second to look at the girl in front of her. She was still looking at the spoon. But this time looking inside of the McFlurry that she let melt along their way to the work. "Are you waiting for the ice cream to grow up or something?"

"I left an m&m's there…in the end" The Indian girl explained looking at that. Her tongue slightly out of her mouth, 'glue' to the corner of her bottom lip, and her eyes shaking as she was trying to reach the peanut. That was until the subway stopped and the spoon flied to the other side of the train.

"Damn!" She cursed under her breath looking at the spoon in the other side of the carriage.

"It's just a peanut… Now look at your jacket. You look like you didn't even sleep tonight. And you did…like a stone." The other girl laughed slightly rolling her eyes as the other sticking her tongue out at her. "You are acting like a kid Alex…"

"Bullshit!" Alex said in an annoying way as she stood up on her feet when an old man, around the eighty years old asked her seat. She smiled slightly down at the man, and moved to the side resting her back against the handrail where the other girl was. "I don't think this will work Kathryn…" She whispered under her breath looking around making sure that none was hearing. "We just came here…we don't know anyone…we are walking into the darkness…"

"Are you scared that the wolf will bite you?" Kathryn asked looking at her friend with a smirk in her rosy lips. She couldn't help to not play with her friend. It was too funny to see her evil look at her when she was simply teasing her. It was something that they had and it was unique. Alex was the kind of girl that everyone would want to hang out. She was funny, out of her mind and obvious with a way to talk that everyone would say that…that she didn't have shame of speak what she was thinking. Kathryn or Kate in the other side was simple, classic and…obsessive?!

"Skittles!!" Kate screamed as she walked out of the train. On the platform, there was a machine. Like the ones that almost all the subways have. Or hospitals and schools. With food, drinks and…candies. After all Alex wasn't the only one who was obsessed for them. It was an old obsession and obviously it was like a secret.

"Carl would be scared if he saw you screaming like that because of some rainbow pills…" Alex commented with a smirk on her lips as she followed her friend toward the machine.

Carl was an old boyfriend of Kate. Not old because of his age. But old since Kathryn knew him since they were kids. They used to play in the park, but none ever would guess that someday they would date in a medicine school. They were too different. And everyone could see that. She was the perfection in person and he was the 'writer' type. The mess up with his ideas of freedom and 'don't wash the dishes today' type. Sadly they broke up when they left to Chicago. Oh that was actually two days ago.

"Do you miss him?!" Alex asked carefully looking at Kate with attention. She didn't answer to her comment. It was suppose to come something funny from her. Maybe some joke. Or some dirty suggestion that only could come from her mouth. But nothing. Just silence. That was making Alex worried already. She knew that her bestfriend wasn't like that. They knew each other for ages. They played together when they were kids. Without forget the fact that it was her who made Kate's first haircut with the fish scissors when they were only five years old. She knew her like she knew the palm of her hand. She knew that something was wrong but that she didn't want to tell her for some reason. For the first time in her life…she was scared.

"What are you hiding me…?" She tried to know again looking at her friend who was in a calm way picking up the red packet of skittles. The machine made a scary noise. Alex jumped slightly not really waiting for that. For the first time since she woke up she only could remember that was the only time that she really got into a serious conversation. Probably since that wasn't her best way to start the day.

"We need to find a house…" Kate said without look at her. Her hazel and pretty eyes were fixed on the machine in front of her. There were all of the kinds of food. Not necessarily healthy food, but the one that you are dying for. Candies, it was like snow in Christmas. But still she shook her head. Nothing there it would make her day better. "Do you want a coffee?"

Beep Beep

"Forget…" Kate said lowly rolling her eyes as she opened her yellow bag and throws the packet of skittles inside. "Oh the phone…" She said under her breath like a whisper. The day didn't start in the best way. It wasn't in the best way. And she didn't need to be a witch or something to know that it won't finish in the best way neither. The phone kept ringing with an annoying noise. 'You have stolen my heart' by Dashboard Confessional was still ringing inside of her bag like it was nuts. Once she loved that song. But she had to agree. Not anymore. "Damn, damn, damn!" She yelled the last part really loudly, almost giving up when she found it in the middle of her glasses box and her red wallet.

"Red and yellow is not a good combination…" The Indian girl said leaning up as she picked up her twix chocolate and opened that careful. This wasn't probably the best place to talk about how a bag should look with the skirt or the wallet. Even with the shoes. It was an important moment to run away. At least that was the only thought that was in Alex head. It was a mistake to come here. It was a mistake run away from their problems to work in a city that they didn't know and that it was simply…unfamiliar for them.

"Yes sure sure…we will be there in like five minutes…" Kate said in a calm and professional voice as she was holding her phone with her shoulder at the same time that she was trying to close her big and girly bag. "I'm sorry, the train was late and we were trying to find a house too…" She stopped talking for a second. Her eyes fixed on the floor as she was listening what the other person was saying. It was man voice with a slightly accent. "I'm sorry. Sure that won't happen again…I will learn how to not confuse the word with personal life…" She said rolling her eyes.

Alex could bet the comment wasn't that Kathryn was waiting for. She was more annoyed today than in ten years that they spent together in a stupid room in the middle of New York City. They entered today in university. In the same city. She was more than glad for that. At least in the middle of so many freaks she knew a normal person. Well normal…in a way to say obvious… If eat with the hands a chip, eat a not cooked codfish and talk in her sleep was a normal thing, so then none would be surprised that she was Saint Nicholas granddaughter.

"We will be there in some minutes. I'm sorry again…oh and for the nurses…" She tried to say until stopped again.

"Other comment?" Alex asked looking at her friend as she picked up one of the bars of her chocolate and gave a huge bit on it.

"If ignore is what you meant…" Kate said under her breath as she walked out of the station.

There were a lot of persons around. The station was full and the air, it was like none could breath, even when it wasn't closed like the subway in New York. Still it was like the air was simply claustrophobic. The sky was grey, but there was no signal that would rain right now. Better than nothing. After all they weren't waiting for that and they didn't bring any umbrellas with them. I seriously need to find a house at least to sort out my life. That was the thought of Kate's head as they walked down the stairs to the sidewalk.

"She is coming in some minutes." Luka said in his typical accent as he looked down at some X-ray that Abby handled him. They were both looking at that but they didn't really look worry about it.

"It's not broken." He said under his breath as Dr Ray Barnett walked toward then. His brown eyes moved to the side to look at the young doctor. "Just give him the morphine pills and that will be enough."

"Okay…" Ray said looking at Luka for a second before as he put down on the table the X-ray and looked at Abby. "Haleh told me to give you this. They are the results of your 'I saw a green alien today' patient." He said with a smirk on his lips as he placed the envelope down on the table.

"It wasn't green. It was grey." Abby said looking quickly at him as he said that and rolled her eyes when Luka looked at her with an 'aliens what?' look. "What?"

"Nothing." He said letting out a slightly laugh as he looked down for a second before turned his eyes to look at Morris who was walking really quickly down the hall. "Morris. I want you to help Ray with the patient."

"But I'm full. I have four patients myself." The red head guy said walking backward at the same pace as he was before so then I didn't need to stop walking but at the same time he could talk with Luka. "A broken leg, a burn, helping Pratt in trauma and a girl who decided to fly and I believe that if she moves we will have a seriously problem…"

"Everyone is trying and believing in a lot of weird things today…" Abby commented right behind Luka and Ray laughed. It was obvious that she was talking about her patient.

"I don't care. Find a way. I need to talk with the new doctor." Korav explained picking up the envelope with the X-ray that he was looking before with Abby and handled that to Ray. He nodded his head smiling slightly, taking the envelope from him and walked to other side of the hall. "Morris now."

"Right right…" Archie said stopping walking and ran after Ray. This will be a long day.

"Who is she?" Abby asked as she watched the two doctors walking away before turned her attention to Luka that was to quiet.

"A new doctor." Luka said without take his eyes off Morris and Ray that finally walked into the last room on the hall.

"Just it?" Abby asked looking at him with full attention, hoping that he would do the same.

"I guess that we will find out." He said looking forward before looked down at her and smiled walking away leaving a confused Abby for behind.

Notes: Done with the first chapter and obvious working on the second one already. I will upload today already for sure. First I'm terribly sorry for my mistakes. I bet that I made loads. But it's exactly 7:06 am here and I couldn't sleep until finish this story. So I'm really sorry. Oh and after all, my Portuguese sister talking all the time here. That didn't help me neither. Second, I will love to hear all of your reviews about this. And finally, I would love for you to give me some suggestion for 'who should be' Kathryn and Alex. I love to have an actor or something for an example in my head. It's so much easier for me to write the story. So I'm waiting for your help.

Thank you,
