Connections

Chapter 1: LittleSnowDancer

Kira Yamato had just gotten off school. He walked to his home, where he got a snack and then went on the computer and began to chat in the same room he did everyday. 'Connection'. A room made for meeting people just like you. But what was going to happen because of this room was nothing that had ever happened before.

This room was usually filled with guys who talked to other guys about fighting, computers, bugs, girls(usually a super model or how weird they are), etc.. or girls talking to girls about clothing, guys, shoes (which all the guys originally thought were already clothes), makeup, dances, dates, guys, crushes (boys: aren't those guys?), etc...

So today was a day that changed the way Kira thought about things, for this chat room at least. He looked over the list of names for his friends, while talk went on in the main room window. His friends weren't on right now, but a name caught his attention.

'LittleSnowDancer'

"Isn't that a show.. Or a song or something?" Kira spoke to himself. "Oh well." and he cast aside the thought as one of his friends got on.

And so the story begins.

Striker:'Hey Sai. You see that name on the list? LittleSnowDancer?'

ComCube: 'Ya?'

Striker: 'I bet it's a girl.'

ComCube: 'Smart one, Brainiac.'

Striker: 'shut up. It's weird though.'

ComCube: 'what is?'

Striker: 'she's been in here longer than me but she hasn't said a word.'

ComCube: 'if you're so interested. Talk to her.'

Striker: 'What!'

Sai Argyle, the first person Kira met online and he just happened to already have met Kira offline. They found this out when they finally told each other their names. They went to school together and were probably best friends.. Except Kira already had a best friend. But that's other news.

Kira clicked once on the mysterious name and almost clicked 'Private IM' when he receive one. It was from her. LittleSnowDancer. Kira stared at it before finally saying hi to her.

LittleSnowDancer: 'Hi -smile-'

Striker: 'um.. Hi'

LittleSnowDancer: 'I'm sorry. Did I interrupt something? I've been watching the room and you seem pretty well known here. And you seem really nice.'

Kira had never had someone talk to him like this. It was usually listen to them in chat, 'hi', and then a subject you both like. Apparently this girl just thought Kira seemed nice. (Duh)

Striker: 'Thanks?'

LittleSnowDancer: 'Listen to me. I sound so weird. No wonder you don't know what to say. -smile-'

Okay... she wasn't too bad.

Kira stayed at the computer so long, he ended up eating chips for dinner because he didn't want to leave her IM for too long.

Kira kept talking to her for a while, and he talked to Sai too. She was really nice. So far he learned that she was 16, his age, and that she was currently nearby, and that he felt a connection between them.(coincidence huh-looks at the chat room name-) He didn't think it mattered, at that point, to know of anything else.

Striker: 'currently? You mean you move a lot or something?'

LittleSnowDancer: 'Yes. Because of my job, I move quite often.'

Striker: 'oh. Ok.' Kira looked at the clock. 'I have to go. School tomorrow.'

He expected an 'okay, see ya later.' But after talking to her for 6 hours, he should know better. The response he got was..

LittleSnowDancer: 'Already? Striker. What's your name? I'd like to meet you someday. In person.'

Kira stared at the screen. For a minute he wasn't sure what to say. Sai logged off after a goodbye and the noise woke him from his staring.

LittleSnowDancer: 'You don't have to tell me. I just wanna make sure I can find you in case I move. I sound like a stalker don't I?' and a frowning smiley next to it.

Striker: 'Kira.'

LittleSnowDancer: 'huh?'

Striker: 'My name. Kira Yamato.'

LittleSnowDancer: 'Oh that's a nice name. -giggle- Goodbye Kira. Maybe I can get on tomorrow after my job is over. Goodbye!'

Before Kira could ask her name, she got off.

"Oh. I wanted her name too. Hm.. Tomorrow after work huh? A job that makes her move a lot? Hm.. Ok that's it. Tomorrow I'm going to figure out who she is. Starting, with school." With that, Kira shut down his computer and got ready for bed.

-

Ah. The sweet smell of mystery. The girl online. A strange job that makes her have to move houses a lot. Or at least it's a mystery to Kira. Half of you already know who she is.. I hope. So I'm not talking to myself here... um.. Hello-no one answers- I guess I am.. Oh well. I hope at least one person knows what's going on besides me.

Lana: I do.

Besides you.

Lana: whatever. And how come you never explain me.

I'll do that next chapter.

Lana: fine.

Bye!

Lana: wait. What about that thing you always forget?
