Okay first of all I'm new at this so don't be too harsh and English is not my native language so sorry for the wrong grammar and/or spelling that might appear in this fic…Anyway this fanfic is all about my favourite ship, croma.I think there really cute and that they deserve a lot of love.

This story will mostly surround the two of them and is also a switch AU that's right the two of them are going to switch places but I will try my best to keep them in character. Crona still being shy and timid boy we all love(yeah his a boy in this fic)and Maka the strong, smart and brave girl we all know.

Now that that's done let's start.

CHAPTER 1: lost children

It was so dark and foggy you can hardly see anything. "Damn it! "Not to mention it's also pouring really hard tonight. I need to get away from them! "Witch!" I look down my broomstick and all I see is fog but suddenly I saw it…My eyes widen as I let out a gasp. I barely had enough time to doge the arrow that was aimed at me. How the hell could they see me in this weather! I stared at the fog below me for a few seconds,then I saw a few more headed this way. I was able to doge them easily this time. I opened my mouth about to chant a spell against opponents, but stopped when I felt something tugging my drenched cloak. I look down at the child in my arms, he was whimpering and holding on to me like his life depended on it. In this case it really did. I don't know what got into me but at that moment I wanted to get away from there as quick as possible.

Nearly hitting a building once or twice because of how fast I was going. I didn't really care, the only thing that mattered was keeping us safe. Once I thought we were far enough,I guided my broom down to a dark alley. I looked around to see if there was anyone following us,fortunately there wasn't. The streets of Death city were deserted, not a single soul in sight. It's so quiet,the only thing you can hear is the heavy rainfall.

I walk over to Crona and bend my knees so I can talk to him without looking down. "Stay here and wait till I get back. Do you understand crona?" The boy's eyes showed fear,indicating he did not want me to leave. He opened his mouth only to closed it again,not sure if he should respond or not. There was silence between us for a moment,before he spoke.

"C-can't I come w-with you?" I glared at him and he looked away,not wanting to meet my gaze. The reason we flew down this alley was to drop him off so the DWMA won't find him and take him away.

"Stay here or else you will be punished." I said in a low voice. He seemed frightened by my response but nodded anyway. Content with his answer I got up and walk over to my broom.

I was about to hop on, when I felt him tugging my cloak again. I look down at him,a bit irritated. "P-please c-come back safely l-lady Medusa."

I stared at him for a moment while he was looking down at his feet,clearly uncomfortable. We stayed like this for a minute or two. He cared about my safety? Not really knowing how to respond,I decided to ignore what he said. I got on the broomstick and went off. I feel the wind in my face and the rain calming down. While I was flying,I found myself think about what he told me. P-please c-come back safely l-lady Medusa .I looked back to see that crona was already so far away. I have never showed that child love and yet he still cares? I was silent for a moment then I felt a small smile forming on my lips. "I will come back safely my child, don't worry."

I rubbed my eyes because tears were starting form in them. It's only been a few minutes since lady medusa left and already I can't deal with this situation. I'm in a dark and scary alley with nothing to defend myself with and no one around to help me while my mother is being chased by bad people. How could someone not be afraid?!I sat on the floor,back on the wall,knees against my chest and my head bowed. I'm trying so hard not to let fear takeover me but no matter how hard I try I can't stop thinking about the horrible things that might happen. What if lady medusa gets hurt? WHAT IF SHE DIES?!I was already hyperventilating at this point. Negative thoughts keep popping in my mind, making me panic even more.

I started crying, glad there wasn't anyone around to hear my pathetic weeping. This went on for twenty minutes or so,but I stopped when I heard footsteps. SHE'S BACK!I looked up with a small smile on my face,but as soon as I saw her it disappeared. the person in front of me was not medusa. The women had sort, brown hair,wearing a grey raincoat with matching grey boots,dark blue pants and holding a yellow umbrella.

"Oh my are you alright kid? Where are your mother and father? Are you lost? I can help you find them if you want?" She ask bending down a bit to get closer to me. My eyes widen,then I stood up quickly and backed away from this woman. A billion questions were running through my mind right now.

first of all who is this woman? Why is she asking so many questions? Why does she want to know where my mother and father are?!I don't even know who my father is! Is she one of the bad people who lady medusa is hiding from? She probably is!

"S-stay back! L-lady medusa is c-coming back to-to get me l-like she said she would! S-she t-told me to stay r-right here till she comes b-back." I said while trying to get away from her but she keeps getting closer and closer. Doesn't this woman know what persona space is?!

"Medusa huh? Well then why don't I help you find her ok?" Her voice was so soft and gentle but there was something else as well,I can't tell what. "Please let me help you" Her hand was trying to reach mine and she was looking at me with so much…

Pity

That's what it was,she was pitying me but why? I don't like it when people look at me like that! whatever she's thinking I don't like it!

"G-get away from me! I-I don't want your help! "I started running the opposite direction,getting as far away from her as possible. I hear her calling me, telling me that she won't hurt me but I didn't care,I kept running. Even when I couldn't hear her anymore I still kept running,suddenly I slipped on a puddle of water. I felt my head hit something hard before blacking out.

...

It was dark and my head hurts so much, so did my back. I can't remember what happened or why my head hurts so much. Why is it so dark? My eyes opened slightly. oh my eye's where closed. I opened my eyes slowly so I can adjust to the light. I just now notice that I was laying on top of a bed with a yellow sheet on top of me. I sat up and looked at my surroundings. The room I was in was small. It had light blue walls and white floor,next to the bed was a small wooden drawer and on top of it was a lamp. Slightly above the drawer was a window but I couldn't look out of it because the curtains are closed. there was also a chair next to the bed. Was there someone here before I woke up? As if by cue the door opened reviling a woman with long black hair wearing a nurse's outfit. She walk over to me and sat on the chair,I didn't know what to do so I hid myself using the bed sheet.

I heard her giggle."Wanna tell me who you're hiding from?" She playfully asked me but the only reply she got was silence. "Aw please talk to me,I promise I won't hurt you" Again I didn't answer,I just didn't know what to say to her.

We stayed silent like this for a long period of time. I'm surprised she hasn't left yet."Do you plan on staying under that sheet forever? I'm okay with that because I got all the time in the world." She said rather smugly. I sighed. she was right I can't stay here. I poked my head out of the blanket,only showing the top of my head and my eyes.I look at her and she smirked at me.

"Well now that's done,let me introduce myself. Hi my name is joy and it's nice to meet you" She said while a big smile spread across her face. It didn't seem like she was going to hurt me so I answered back this time. "H-hello,w-where am I?"

My voice was quiet but it looks like she was still able to hear me because she responded. "oh you're in Heart and home for children, an orphanage in death city. We found laying you on the streets about an hour ago,do you remember why?"

My eyes widen. I can't remember..." I-I don't know,I c-can't remember a-anything!" Tears started to stream down my face at the realization. Suddenly I felt a hand gently patting my back,I flinched and look at her. "I'm sorry, didn't know you where sensitive to human contact. I was just trying to comfort you."

I started crying even more, feeling worse than before. She was only trying to make me feel better! I hid under the sheet once more, not because I didn't know what to do but because I wanted to hide my shame. It went on like this for who knows how long. I tried to calm my self down as best as I could but the tears keep coming. once I stopped crying I came out of the sheet again.

I-I'm so s-sorry, I l-looked s-so s-stupid didn't I." I looked down then rubbed my right eye a bit to get rid of the remaining tears. "Hey, you don't need to say sorry for something like that alright? Plus you didn't look stupid at all, in fact you looked adorable." I felt blood rushing to my cheek when she said that. Did she really mean it?

"Do you remember anything at all? How about your name?" I look up at her then looked down again. The room became quiet as I tried to remember anything that was related to the past. Do you understand crona? I heard a feminine voice in my head, for some reason I felt like thats was my name. I looked back up the nurse and said.

"Crona, M-my name is crona."

So crona got amnesia,lol kinda predictable I know but hey at least I'm trying. Anyway maka's going to appear in the next chapter, she's going to be five years old the same age as crona, duh. I don't want revile to much about the next chapter so I'm going to go now.

Hoped you like the first chapter and constructive criticism are appreciated. bye~
