I don't own this cartoon.

Keep running, Jinmay. You're almost there. A young pinkette withsea-foam green eyes ran through the tall grass, looking back from time to time. The school bullies always cornered her at the end of school. She was lucky she didn't have broken ribs for the past two weeks.

They always bother me about my favorite animals-monkeys. So engrossed was Jinmay in her thoughts, she didn't notice a shadow looming behind her. A hand gripped her shoulder, and with a surprised gasp, she fell onto the ground.

"Hey, Monkey Girl, did you bring a banana for school today?" Jinmay's eyes glistened with pain and fear. "N-no…"

"Well we have something for you! It's not a banana, but just as sweet." A fist met her face, and some bones crushed under the contact. Letting out a soft whimper, the girl pushed herself up on her hands and knees, only to be yanked down by her pigtails. "We're not done with you yet!"

Jinmay yelled out as she was stomped on in the stomach then kicked in the side. The taller boy began his assault on her face. After what felt like an eternity, it was over.

"See ya Freak!" Jinmay continued to stay there, letting the stinging sensation take over her being for a while before she let out a shaky sigh and slowly rose up on her feet. A few tears fell down the bloody face as the girl walked toward the orphanage.

Laying there on her bed in the corner, she looked out the window. Bright, silver stars met her vision and she smiled up at them wistfully. A shooting star fell out of the corner of her vision and her eyes widened.

"I wish I-" "Children, it's time for lights-out!" All of the other children snuggled down in their beds, but Jinmay looked out a few minutes longer.

I wish I had a family…

The next day was the last day of school, and Jinmay never felt so alive. The boys hadn't bothered her so far, but she knew they were out waiting for her to fall into their trap. Like that's gonna happen! This time she was going to take a different way home.

I'll go out by the outskirts. They would never dream that a girl would go there! Jinmay kept the idea in her brain until the end of school. Outside, she looked around the street for a full minute, then looked over at the broken part of the fence that led to the deeper part of the forest. Her heart pumped with adrenaline and anticipation.

"Now!" Jinmay ran for all she's worth down the lot and managed to get there before the bullies found her. Sweating, and feeling a little tired, she slowed down to a walk, and looked at the trees. No one for sixty years went down this way, and she was feeling a little excited, like something new was going to happen to her.

A shadow in front of her caught her attention, and she looked up in shock. A huge robot was standing in front of her. It looked like it was alive.

That's silly. Robots aren't alive. She looked around the robot and gently placed her hand on its foot. She let out a soft cry as a door opened in front of her. "That's a little weird…" Jinmay looked at the robot undecided, but finally the urge to go in overpowered her, and she cautiously walked in.

"It's okay. It's okay. It's just a little dark. I can take it." The girl jumped when she felt another door swoosh open and she gasped softly at what was inside.

Glowing tubes of different colors met her gaze. Some things were floating inside and she walked a little closer to investigate. She went toward the purple tube and her eyes widened. There was a little black monkey with robotic features. He appeared to be peacefully asleep. In fact, all of the tubes had robot monkeys, and they appeared to be in the same state.

Jinmay continued to look at the black monkey. "Antauri…" Jinmay suddenly felt confused. "Why did I say that?" She looked around the room irritably. No one has a robot without lights. There's gotta be a switch somewhere. Sighing in relief, the girl saw one in the middle of the robot, and walked over to it confidently. Smiling, Jinmay pushed it…only to feel like she was being shocked. A green light fell over her and a roar rang in her ears.

After what felt like forever, the shocks slowly died. Letting out a soft sigh, Jinmay fell on her hands and knees, panting. Her heart froze when an English accent filled the silence.

"Who are you?"
