I still remember it. I mean, how would I forget? When I was born, I thought it would be fine for me forever. And it was. Well, for around 20 minutes. Last thing I remember, I was taken from the desert, and a voice saying,"Remember me, Diamond." Remember me. It seemed to echo in my mind for those four years I missed the desert. Finally, after what seemed like forever, I saw home. The desert. I met Scales, a lizard, and knew she was my friend. Then, I caught sight of another rattlesnake."Scales, who's that?""Avoid him.""Why? Is he dangerous?""That's Rattlesnake Jake. One of the most dangerous criminals out here. And where'd she go?' I didn't listen to what she said, so I went up to him."Hey." He aimed his tail at me, which turned out to be a gun."So, I see I'm not the only one.""What?" I showed him my tail."Huh. You're right." I introduced myself, and he asked me something a little unexpected."Can I see you again tonight?""Sorry, she's not interested." Turns out Scales can be like a little sister. Annoying."Scales, what was that for?""Sue me for trying to save my friend's life. I told you. Jake is dangerous.""Let me have a love life." I went back to him."Ignore her. About what you asked me, sure."
