LOST & FOUND

Author's notes: The Character Kyle is a gal.

Ch. 1- The Show

Island in the Sun played on Pia's mobile phone. She rushed to open her spacious backpack and answered her ringing phone.

"Hello?" Pia answered as she looked at the time on her pink pop swatch. It was 11:18 a.m., and it was almost time for the MTV event held at the galleria.

"At the park again? Go to the galleria now! The people are piling up! Pixie's here and I already called Kate. The crowd's been moving around too much and we're getting squished!!! Hurry up okay?" The call came from Pia's zany, but considerate friend, Kyle. Kyle was saving space for her little sister, Kate, and her 'partner in crime' friend, Pia.

"Oops, slipped out of my head. Don't worry I'll be there in 5 minutes! Okay? I'll be on my way" Pia replied as she slipped her MTV notebook, Japanese manga, and fashion and cooking magazines into her backpack.

She finished packing up and grabbed her black jansport and ran down the streets of Singapore, and tried to get to the event as soon as possible. She reached the wide entrance of the three-floored building. MTV was hosting a show for the grand opening of the brand new galleria. The two main hosts were the two famous MTV VJs, Donita and Utt.

Kyle and Pixie were way in the front of the stage. They were waiting for Pia and Kate to arrive. Pia, Kyle, Pixie, and Kate were four crazed and die-hard fans of VJ Utt. They all loved the VJ for his dynamic and down-to-earth personality.

Pia jammed through the huge crowd. She was near the front when some people started shoving. Pia of course got shoved, but she quickly caught her balance. The force made Pia's 'always on' reading glasses to come off. Luckily, she got a hold of it and put it back on.

She could see Kyle and Pixie up at the front, but as soon as she started moving towards them; someone stepped on her big toe. She yelped and clenched her braced teeth. Kyle looked back and saw her friend in pain. Kyle told Pixie to save her place as she struggled against the crowd and helped out Pia. When both of them got to the front, Pixie gave Pia something packaged in brown paper.

"Pia, I drew a masterpiece for you. I haven't finished it yet; I only drew your hair and eyes. But don't worry. I'll get it done. Whenever I visit you I'll work on it little by little and so on…" Pixie handed Pia a poster board wrapped in brown paper. Pia peeked inside and saw a drawing of Utt and herself. She doesn't even know the guy and she has a picture drawn with him. Then she noticed something different about the unfinished picture. She looked different; not because of her unfinished face, but because in the picture, her hair was down and she wasn't wearing her 'always on' reading glasses.

Of all of the four girls, Pixie was the most creative and artistic one. She was also the witty and most comical of the four. Though all of them were comical, Pixie was always the one who made the silliest jokes that made everyone piss in their pants. Pia on the other hand was the complicated, yet most easy going of the four. She wasn't such a worrier and depended on God for her daily strength. Kyle was the mom of the group; everyone always runs to her for advice and comments and such things. She always made sure that everything was okay, from daily needs to emotional problems. Kate was the youngest and the baby of the group. She always looked up to her big sisters, but she also had a uniqueness that sure impressed the other four of the group of friends.

The light started to fade as Pia put the poster back in its wrapper. Kate came as soon as the music started playing. The light turned from white to purple, then to green, then to blue. The music got louder and fog started rising on the stage. Then VJ Donita and VJ Utt came out of the fog and the lights became its original color again. Everyone started screaming. It was Pia's first time to see VJ Utt in person. She was so excited, that she started jumping up and down, and started screaming at the top of her lungs.

The show was quite long and went on until sunset. Many fanatics got tons of freebies, and many had the chance to meet VJ Donita and VJ Utt. Pia and her friends got Donita and Utt's autograph. They also managed to take a big group picture with the two VJs. The show was so much fun! Pia couldn't stop talking about it. While they browsed around the new galleria, she kept on talking about how Utt looked super cute. She was basically really happy, or just really hyper. Her friends were die-hard fans of Utt too, but Pia was the most dedicated from all of them. While they were walking around, they saw this new store called the official MTV shop. There was tons of Utt merchandise. The shop was crowded with girls and guys. Pia squeezed through the crowd and managed to get to the Utt section of the store. Pia came out of the store with two big bags full of Utt merchandise. They continued to browse around the new galleria, which was very spacious and modern. The shops had their own unique styles and designs. Giordano had its usual style, chic and classy. Some stores only had basic interior designs but had very lively banners. A lot of the stores were very bubbly and full of life. All of the stores were so exceptional and unique, it's own matchless designs and merchandise just lures you in. It was already late at night and most of the stores were closing, so Pia and the gang decided to head home.

The official MTV store had the colors of the MTV most wanted set. Blue, pink and yellow bordered the walls and shelves, and the floors had an MTV design made with tiles. All sorts of MTV merchandise filled the multicolored shelves, and colorful ribbon and strings hung from the plain colored ceiling.

The MTV depot was about to close; just then Utt and Donita knocked on the glass doors. They reached the store just in time. The manager welcomed both of them and insisted that they look around the store; and so they did. Utt was surprised to see so much of his merchandise bought in just one day. Donita's merchandise was also sold out. As both VJs browsed around and chatted, the female manager of the store asked Utt a question.

"Excuse me, VJ Utt? I was wondering if you recognize this drawing and possibly if it's yours?"

Utt replied, "Nope. Maybe someone accidentally forgot it here."

Utt looked at the pencil-sketched drawing and noticed that it was unfinished.

"Maybe." said the manager.

"It sure looks pretty doesn't it? Whoever drew is really good. The girl in the picture…do you know her?" Donita smiled.

"Nope. No idea that is." Replied Utt.

"She has real pretty eyes." Donita looked at Utt and jokingly fluttered her eyes at him.

"Well, I won't take it; though it's real pretty. The owner might come back for it. But save it for me if no one claims it okay?" and once again Utt smiled his utterly charming smile and made the store employees drool over him.

The manager gladly agreed and kept the drawing in the back room.
