Asidia Venetta Harrow was an exceptionally bright seven year old girl.

She also had an obsession with unsolved murder cases that had a tendency to make others shy away from her, and yet attract others who got to know her out of morbid curiosity.

She lived with her mother (Sandy), father (Jerome), and Sister (Cherry), in a house on 1342 Elm Street.

Life was perfect for her there.

Unsolved child murders were plentiful, and the killer hadn't been caught yet.

Her Father worked for the Springwood police department, so naturally Asidia wanted to see justice done by the Killer.

Whoever it was had evaded police to long, and the national government had oppted to help if necessary.

Her Mother owned a convenient store two streets over, and Asidia could always get the latest on the Killer.

So, it was no surprise that on sunday morning, when Asidia woke-up, she would go flip on the news, eat cheerios and comment on the Killer, green eyes darting to the screen and then to the bowl.

"Not those ghastly murders!" Her mother scolded, switching off the television.

Cherry bustled down the hallway toward her sister.

"Yeah, Why don't I walk you to your friend Katherine's house?"

Mrs. Harrow smiled.

"That would be great! I'll call Mr. Krueger and set it up...It really is a shame his wife ran off and left him with a little one to raise." Mrs. Harrow added before scurrying from the room.

"And ask if he needs help with anything!" Cherry squealed, flipping her strawberry blonde hair.

Asidia gagged after her mother left the room.

Cherry directed her attention on Asidia.

"Go get ready and don't make me look bad in front of Frederick, I, er- mean Mr. Krueger...Damn his wife was an idiot for running off in the first place...Have you ever seen him, he's so manly..." Cherry sighed dreamily.

Asidia stared at Cherry.

"Duh, I know what he looks like...he's only my best friend's dad, and since when were you on first name basis with him?"

Cherry huffed unhappily.

"Well, I'm not officially on first name basis with him, but I will be some day...right after he asks me to marry him!" Cherry spit haughtily.

Asidia snorted.

"If he's smart, he'll run the second he sees you coming."

The look of indignation that crossed Cherry's face was priceless.

"YOU LITTLE BRAT!"

The sister's tore up the stairs quickly fussing all the while.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Harrow was busily talking into the phone.

"And Cherry wanted to know if there was anything she could do for you. I think she has a slight crush on you actually, and after meeting you for the first time yesterday, I can see why she why she goes about the house saying how 'good looking' you are...Just yesterday..."

On the other end of the phone there was a slight pause.

"MOM!" Cherry shrieked.

The voice on the other end hesitated, processing the information carefully.

"Nothing she can do that I can think of..."

Cherry's mood changed.

The voice on the other end of the phone began again.

"Well, I suppose I'll be going now...Goodbye."

"Goodbye, . Thanks again."

"No problem."

____Krueger Household___

Freddy beckoned his daughter to him after replacing the phone on the cradle.

"Promise me you'll never like boys...especially the big ones."

Katherine's eyes searched her father's face.

"Why Daddy?" She asked with unbounded curiosity.

"Just promise."

Katherine held up her pinky, Her father mirrored her.

"I pinky promise Daddy."

They locked pinkys and shook on it.

"Now, I'm going to be in the basement. When Cherry gets here with Asidia tell her I'm out, and then knock on the door three times."

He illistrated the whole motion.

"'Kay Daddy!"

Katherine skipped off right when the door rang.

Freddy jumped.

"I've gotta..."

Cherry strolled in.

" Hello, Mr. Krueger! How are you?"

He cringed on the inside, but on the outside he pasted a friendly smile on his face, and turned around.

" Hello Cherry, It's so nice to see you! I'm fine...and yourself?"
"Better now." Cherry mumbled.

The pukey feeling he got when around Cherry was threatening to spill into reality.

Pretending he hadn't heard:

"What was that? I'm afraid I didn't hear you..."

"I'm fantastic. Thank you for asking!"

He was wearing his signature sweater at the moment.

Cherry sighed focusing on the sweater and imagining what wass underneath.

He coughed.

She looked up, going scarlet.

"Focus. My eyes are up here."

"I'm sorry, mom said...that stuff...its not true, or anything."

Freddy rolled his eyes, teenagers were so perverted...It was amusing to a point.

She had crossed that point.

The little girls rushed past, pushing Cherry into Freddy.

"Oops, sorry!" Cherry apologized.

The vomit...it was close.

"No, entirely my fault...I shouldn't have been taking up the hallway."

Cherry was blushing, and smiling...Crap, she had to get out of here before he was sick.

"You know, you could go back home and tell your mother, that your here."

"I'd be home though."

"Oh darn, your right...um, you could..."

Cherry sighed.

"You should probably go home and help Mom with dinner."

Cherry hissed.

Freddy was overjoyed.

"Oh, and here I am keeping you from helping your Mom...I'm so sorry!"

Cherry walked to the front door and said her goodbyes.

After seeing Cherry round the corner, and seeing Asidia migrate back to the yard, he slammed the door.

"Yay! That snot nosed little...girl is gone!"

He moved the celebration to the basement.

The girls didn't see him for the rest of the evening.

"Very curious." Asidia said outloud, logging it away.

"What?" Katherine asked.

Asidia smiled.

"Nothing. I want to play..."

"Fariy-Princess castleland!" Katherine finished.

Both girls giggled and started their game.
