This is the first in a series of stories depicting the origins of the Furs characters. After the removal of the original story, they might not make as much sense, however, it will in due time. They will be told in predominantly first person as well as, sometimes, a little third person. Each story will have two chapters in America, with the rest being set in Europe. Each chapter will have a mini segment at the start, involving Foxtrot and the character in question. Before I start, I apologise if my first person writing. Hope you enjoy!

(Lavender's POV)

Somebody's coming inside. I wonder who it is? Oh, it's Foxtrot!

"Hi Foxtrot!" I say happily. I think I'm blushing a little!

"Hey Lavender" He says smiling. He's cute.

"Shouldn't you be in your 'room' ?" I ask

"Mangle let me out for a while." He replies. I wonder why?

"Ok, what brings you to my room?" I ask him.

"Well…" he hesitates. I wonder what he's going to say?

"…I want to know how you ended up here." I guess I'll tell him.

"Ok, but be prepared for a long story," I say.

"I am."

"Foxtrot, I'll only tell you the most important bits of what happened before I arrived here"

"Ok" he says. Here I go.

(Begin story)

I remember the day of the explosion like it was yesterday. I woke up. Time to go to school I thought. I got up and got dressed for school. I walked out into the kitchen and saw my parents still weren't up. I grabbed some bread and the toaster to make some toast. My brother walked down from his room, he walked straight past me, grabbed a box of cornflakes and continued on to watch TV. It was the last time he would do that you know Foxtrot. The last time. I swear he'll become obese with that lifestyle I thought. My toast popped up, so I grabbed it and went into the dining room. I started to eat but then my sister, Chelsea, began crying. The final cry I would hear. I climbed up the stairs to find she had spat out her pacifier(Foxtrot: "Pacifier?" Lavender: "A dummy. Now do you want listen or not?"), which caused her to wake up and cry. I gave her back the pacifier and went back out to finish eating. When I did finish my breakfast, I stood up. I placed my books, my iPad and lunch into my bag. I ran up the stairs and told my parents that I was leaving. I went back down the stairs and grabbed my bag. My brother, Harry, was still watching TV and the cornflakes were everywhere. I couldn't wait till he was in trouble for being late to school. I ran outside onto the bus and sat down. 'The same as always, just the way I like it' I thought. Who knew it would be my last routine morning?

I had sat down next to my best friend, Hannah. We started chatting about things like who the cutest boy is and what's in fashion.

Foxtrot: "How is this important?"

Lavender" Shhhh! It just is!"

We arrived at school (for the last time) and so, we walked inside. I saw my boyfriend, Carl walking toward me. I ran over and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hey darling" he said.

"Hey Carl!" I said smiling.

"I got something I want to ask you Eliza" he said, seemingly nervous.

"Yes" I asked him. 'I hope this what I think it is!'.

"Tonight…" he paused "willyougooutwithmeonadate"

"Pardon?"

"Tonight…" he paused again, but for longer" will you…"

"Yes?"

"Go out"

"Yessss?"

"With me on a date?"

"Oh my god YES!" I yelled.

"How about… tomorrow" he asked. I nodded.

"Ok, meet me outside your house, at 5:30pm tomorrow" he told me happily.

"Ok" I said. That was our final conversation before the explosion.

I skipped over to my locker and chucked my bag in. I took my books out and shut the locker. I went to my home room and started to wait. Hannah walked over to me and asked me what I talked about with Carl. I didn't want to tell her then. I didn't know I wouldn't get the chance.

"Just life" I replied.

"Ok". She shrugged and walked inside. I followed her. We sat down in our seats, with our friends, as the teacher started roll-call. We started the first subject of the day and let the day drag on. Our last regular day. At lunch, I sat with my friends and we started talking. We organised to meet on the weekend(though I would never see them again). Once we had finished talking, I left to find Carl but couldn't do so and thus, when we went in, I was a bit lonely. I didn't know what true loneliness was until after the explosion though.

After school that day, I got on the bus and drove home. I walked inside and put my bag in my room. I grabbed my Girl Scout uniform and while setting it out, I saw it was dirty and went down into the basement to clean it. That saved me, you know. But I won't ruin it yet. I turned on the washing machine and walked back up the stairs. I picked up my iPad and played games until dinner was ready. I went to the dining room and waited for the food to be served. While eating dinner my dad told us about the air strike on the resistance leader's hideout that night. After dinner, I went down to get my uniform. I accidentally shut the door and while getting my uniform I heard a massive explosion. I ran up, opened the door and then I realised what had happened. The air strike had gone wrong. Everyone I knew had died!

(End Story)

"It's ok, Lavender!" Foxtrot says. I stare into his eyes. My teary eyes reflecting into his.

"I know it must be hard, remembering your friends and family! It's ok if you don't want to continue."

"No" I say. I think I will. Maybe it will do some good for me?

"Anyway" Foxtrot says. I think he's leaving.

He continues" I better report back to Mangle. I don't want to get in trouble."

"I'm sorry I didn't finish my story." I say.

"How about I ask Mangle if you can come down to my cell to tell me the rest?"

"Sure" I say. It couldn't hurt, I guess.

"Bye!" He says.

(A few hours later)

Huh?

"Who's that?" I ask.

"It's me, Mangle!" Of course.

"Hey Mangle!"

"Foxtrot asked me if you could go down to his cell, and I was wondering why?"

"I was telling him how I arrived here and didn't finish."

"Ah."

"So…can I?"

"Sure, I don't see why not."

"Thanks" I say happily

"Just don't tell him that thing"

"I won't"

"Ok, see you Lavender!"

"Bye, Mangle". She's gone. Guess I better get some rest.

So did you like it? This is only the start of, what I hope, to be a great series. Leave a review stating any improvements. Don't forget this my first chapter of my first story, so criticism is appreciated. Don't forget to check out the original story.
