Chapter 1
The Meeting
You walked down the dusty road into the shops. There wasn't anyone inside, only the shop keeper that you knew quite well. She was a young lady with bright red hair.
As you walked in you said, "Hey Flay."
Flay lifted a hand and waved to you.
She replied, "Hey Lacus."
You had brought a stool with you because your basic needs were higher than you could reach because you were only 6 years. You reached the stand with water bottles. You gently placed the stool on the ground and carefully stood on it. Flay had seen what you were trying to do and came behind you to catch you if you were to fall. Then you reached the top and grabbed the water bottle. As soon as you grabbed it you slipped and fell. Before you hit the ground Flay caught you. You noticed your pretty frilled dress was out of position. Flay picked up the stool and placed it on the counter. She grabbed your list that you had expertly written of what you needed. She read it and grabbed everything that was on the list. You watched her walk back and forth. Then you noticed a storm coming. Flay's head shot up when she heard the thunder.
She bent down to you and said, "If you don't get real close to the orphanage before it rains come here so you can keep dry okay and if the rain doesn't stop before I close the shop, I'll drive you back there okay. If you get in trouble come here and I'll protect you, remember these streets are dangerous."
You nodded and gave Flay a hug. Flay placed your items in a trolley that was just your size and you started your way back to your shelter in the park because thing was, you had run away from the orphanage. You were walking back to the park when suddenly a man appeared. He had a gun in his hand. As soon as you saw the gun you pushed the trolley over to make a mess and tried to run back to Flay's shop. When you got to the corner another man with a gun appeared in front of you. You tried to cross the street and run to the park when it started to rain. Then you slipped and fell into a fresh patch of mud. You screamed as your face hit the mud. You jumped up and tried to run for it but the man had grabbed your hand. He wiped the mud off your face and you bit his hand making him let you go. You reached the pathway and started to run for your life because the men had brought out their guns. They shot at you but somehow their aim wasn't very good. Then you turned the corner that lead to the park and saw six kids walking down the road. You kept running. They noticed you and looked very confused as to why you were running so hard. As soon as the men with the guns turned the corner they realised. One man shot and got you on the side of your arm. You fell into a puddle of water holding your arm in pain, remember your only six. You shot your head up and saw the kids had gotten the guns off of the men and were beating them up. When both men were down, the only girl of the group turned and walked to you. You sat up and started puffing. Then you noticed your hand had blood on it from your arm. Then a lady with bright red hair ran around the corner and came running towards you. The kids thought she was with the men.
She yelled, "Lacus. Lacus are you okay?"
You got up and ran to her.
You yelled, "Flay!"
Flay fell to her knees and gave you a big hug. You had tears in your eyes mainly because you were upset and also because you were in pain. Flay stroke your head. Then she saw your arm.
She said, "Good grief, they did get you!"
You stood and also said, "And my new dress is ruined too.
Flay said, "Let's just be glad that your still alive. Let's get you back to the orphanage."
Your eyes shot open. You said, "Um Flay. I ran away from the orphanage."
Flay gasped.
One of the boys from the group said to one of the twin boys from the group, "What are we Kouji? Chopped liver?"
Kouji said to his twin, "Kouichi, Takuya thinks were chopped liver."
The youngest of the group, Tommy and the eldest of the group, JP heard this and started giggling.
The girl walked to Flay and asked, "How is the girl?"
Flay smiled and said, "She's alright and thank you for saving Lacus."
The girl answered, "My name's Zoe and those over there are Takuya, JP, Kouji, Kouichi and Tommy."
You stared in awe at the teenagers. To them you were tiny.
Flay grabbed your wrist and said, "Your going to the orphanage right now."
You gasped and pulled away from her. Flay didn't let go.
You warned, "I don't want to do this but you give me no choice."
And you bit into her hand. Flay screamed and let go of you in a instance. You tried to run for the gate to the park. Everyone was staring at you running wondering where you were going. Then you slipped again. This time you didn't get up.
Flay and Zoe screamed, "Lacus!"
The boys gasped! Kouichi was the first to make it to you.
He said, "My house is the closest her. Let's take her there."
Everyone, including Flay, nodded. You still had your face in a puddle of water. Your long pink hair soaking in the water. Your yellow hair clip rusting in the rain.
"I hope she's alright! Guess we'll find out, on the next digimon digital monsters, o2."
