Chapter One
"Where did she go…" Xephos, otherwise known as Lewis, grumbled under his breath. Honeydew, also known as Simon, is going to wake up soon and Lewis still can't find that stubborn experiment of his. Her name wasn't verified to him, so he couldn't call out to her.
All he could go by was her ginger hair, beautiful blue eyes, and her black dress. All the scientists and doctors adored her…Gah, no time to go into memory lane! A giggle echoed from a hallway, receiving Lewis's attention.
"Come on now, stop playing hide and go seek!" Lewis shouted into the hallway, a little girl appearing from a shadowed corner as a response. The little girl smiled, brushing some curly ginger hair away from her eyes.
"Sorry, Uncle Lewis! It just gets sooo boring.." she didn't need to finish, Lewis already knew how that was going to play out. I guess you can't blame her, it does get a bit boring every now and then. Lewis shook his head slightly and smiled, getting on one knee and stretching his arms out.
The little girl smiled, her blue eyes sparkling as she ran to her 'Uncle' – jumping slightly as she embraces him. Lewis laughed, losing his balance as he falls backwards onto the cold tiles of the lab.
"Uh, Lewis? Where'd you go buddy?" Lewis could hear Simon ask through his earpiece. The little girl giggled, Lewis picking her up and resting her on his shoulder. "Is Uncle Simon awake yeeettt?" she asked, having waited long enough.
Lewis laughed, keeping the child supported on his shoulder as he walked. They walked all the way to Simon's office, opening the door slowly. "Hey Lewis! What were you doing bu.." Simon didn't finish, staring at the child swinging her legs gently against Lewis's shoulder.
The girl smiled, waving at the bearded dwarf. The dwarf's mouth laid agape, walking closer to Lewis and the child. "Oh…my…god," he spoke, looking at the child in awe. Lewis smiled as the dwarf took the child away from him, looking at her as if she was the best thing in the world.
"This is…why didn't you tell me you and Hannah had a child already?!" Lewis's eyes went wide, his face flushed. "N-no! You got it all wrong Simon!" Lewis exclaimed, waving his hands back and forth. "Then who is this?!" Simon exclaimed, tickling the cute child on the stomach.
"I-it's an experiment.." Lewis sighed, still stuttering as the image stays within his mind. Again, Simon didn't understand. "You're experimenting on children?! Lewis how could you?!" he exclaimed in shock. Lewis pinched the bridge of his nose, shaking his head. It was going to take a long while for the dwarf to understand.
"You're such a silly dwarf," a sudden American voice spoke above the two. Lewis flinched at the sound, quickly looking up to see a man lying on thin air as if there was an invisible couch. "What do you want now, Ridge?" the spaceman asked, trying to stay calm and collected.
The floating man gave off his famous grin, moving some ginger locks from his face as he stared blankly at Lewis. The man landed gently onto the tile, dusting off his black coat rimmed in gold. "Just watching both you and the dwarf conduct stupid experiments. But I do have to say, this one is interesting."
Lewis sighed, trying his best to ignore Ridge. He looked over to the dwarf and beckoned him to follow. The dwarf nodded and set the child down, following the spaceman out of his office. Ridge watched them leave, looking back at the child afterwards.
"It's shocking how much you look like me.." he said, getting on one knee to face the child staring at him. The child blinked, looking at Ridge with curios eyes. "Who are you? One of Uncle Lewis's friends?" she asked innocently.
Ridge chuckled, "You could say that..I'm Ridge, what's your name?" The girl smiled, dusting off her dress the same way Ridge did. "I don't have a name." Ridge cocked his head to the side slightly, "You don't have a name? Well that just won't do.."
The child clasped her hands together, swaying back and forth. "Well… I've always liked the name Rosey.." Ridge smiled, placing one of his hands gently over the child's. "Would you like to see the world from a bird's view?"
The child's eyes went wide as she gasped, excited, "Really? That sounds like fun!" Ridge nodded and stood, picking up the child and disappearing.
Heeyyy guys. Sorry it's been so long. I'm gonna be moving soon so.. yea. I'm not going to messing with the Nether story… I might even stop it completely. I know you guys might have liked it but I can't find any sort of inspiration to keep writing. Sorry.. But I'll leave the decision to you. ^^
