Daniel
I'm not exactly sure why she looks so familiar, but for some reason, her brown eyes and dark hair draws up some type of recognition in my mind. I nudge Eden who's standing beside me, his head stuck deep into a book. Ever since he learned about the opportunity for this job he has been doing nothing but studying and working. I have to nudge him two more times before he finally looks up. "What is it Daniel?" he asks, seeming slightly annoyed.
"That girl over there, the one in the uniform," I say, looking in her direction through the crowd. The girl was currently lost in thought, glancing up at the many announcements that were being broadcasted all around. "Do I know her from somewhere?"
Eden frowns in the same direction. "Maybe. I think she worked at the hospital, or was at the hospital or something like that. You know actually I think I remember her coming to one of-"
I tune out Eden's rambling. He only even rambles when he's trying to hide something from me. I push past him and walk straight through the busy street and approach the girl. She turns to me right as I get near her and all expression washes away from her face suddenly and she seems to freeze in her tracks, her eyes glued to me. This only increases my curiosity and I grin as I stop in front of her.
"Have we met before?" I asked plainly.
She doesn't nod or shake her head but instead she replies, "We might've."
"Really?" I remark. "Well, since I can't recall exactly how we 'might've' met once before, why don't I introduce myself? I'm Daniel Wing." I reach out and grasp her hand tightly in my own. It's warm and her small, soft hand feels oddly familiar in mine. She's still staring at me with a blank expression, and I chuckle. "This would be the part where you tell me your name…"
She snaps out of her distant trance and smiles. "I'm June. June Iparis."
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you June. Where are you headed?" I ask, and I hear Eden finally catch up with me, standing behind me with his attention till completely on the textbook.
"The Ruby Sector," June says. "I'm meeting my friend for dinner. It's my birthday today."
My heart begins to race and my pulse speeds up. "Now we're either going to the same place or this is an extremely odd coincidence!" I say. "You wouldn't happen to be talking about a girl named Tess, would you?"
June nods slowly, her face growing pale. Again the familiarity of her catches me off guard. It's like I've seen her this way before, like some strange case of déjà vu. She swallows.
"Well, I might as well walk you there, right?" I offer.
June seems baffled. "I really don't know if that's necessary-"
"I insist," I push on, shooting her another smile. "I'd love to hear about how you are Tess know each other on the way down."
I haven't even been back in the Republic for more than an hour and things are already taking an exciting turn. Boy isn't it good to be home.

A/N: So I have decided to write another Legend Fanfiction! I really enjoyed writing the first one, so I'm just as excited about writing this one! As you can probably tell, this story beginning is much different than my other fanfic. Before I get yelled at, I want to say that I am improvising the ending of the story and some of the characters. It has been a while since I read Champion so some details are a little foggy for me. There will be a new plot and I'm determined to make this story much better than when I wrote my first one! Thanks for choosing to read this story and I hope that you'll stick with my through this story!
PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW!
