Ch.1: The Origin of Aeri
Our story begins at the Sanchez home, where thirteen-year-old Penny Sanchez was busy drawing with five-year-old Sophie, the baby cousin of her thirteen-year-old boyfriend Rudy. It seemed like only yesterday when little Sophie first stepped into Chalkzone with Rudy's magic chalk, although it was really about three years ago. Because of her experience, she's gotten into drawing even more and has gotten better, especially with Rudy's help.
Right now, the younger girl was drawing into Penny's chalkboard with the older girl's help. Rudy is with them helping babysit, but he left for a bit to help Dr. Sanchez with something.
"Can we give her a headband, Penny?" Sophie asked. "And make it look like a crown with tiny seashells?"
"Good idea, Sophie," she answered, helping draw in said accessory. "She sure is coming along nicely." A short while later, Rudy came into the bedroom.
"I'm back," he said, kneeling down with them to give Penny a kiss on the cheek. "How are my favorite girls doing?" Sophie turned to her older cousin.
"Rudy, look what Penny and I drew together!" The teenager looked down at the chalkboard on the floor.
On it is a chalk drawing of a beautiful mermaid with long hair going down to her waist, a necklace with a small pearl for a pendant, and a headband with tiny seashells. What makes her different is that she also has a pair of wings on her back like an angel.
"Wow, she's beautiful, Sophie," Rudy said, giving her a hug. "You and Penny did an awesome job."
"Thanks. We named her Aeri, short for Aeriela, and she's a Mer-Angel. She has a beautiful singing voice and can do martial arts."
"Something I'd figured you would love, Rudy," Penny chuckled. Rudy laughed with her as Dr. Sanchez came into the room.
"Penny, I…oh, my! What a beautiful mermaid you and Sophie drew. And with wings like an angel."
"Thank you, Dr. Sanchez," Sophie said. "We named her Aeri."
"Well, I'm sorry, Sophie," the vet replied, "but I'm afraid it's time to say bye to Aeri. Your mother's here to pick you up, and I'm going to need to borrow Penny's chalkboard for a minute."
"Aww…."
"Don't worry, Sophie," Rudy said, taking out his digital camera. "I've got my camera with me. I'll take a picture of it and print it out for you later, okay?" With a renewed smile, the little girl hugged her older cousin.
"Thanks, Rudy." So after his cousin freed him from her embrace, Rudy snapped a good shot of Aeri, and Penny erased the chalk drawing afterwards so her mother could use it.
Of course, the teenage couple is aware that they'll be seeing Aeri in Chalkzone…but unaware that she'll catch the attention of a far-too-familiar acquaintance.
