Hello, everyone! This is my first fanfic so forgive me if your standard is way higher. Also, it is Sokeefe, so if you don't support this ship, then you don't have to experience this wonderful and astounding piece of writing. ;)

This story takes place when Sophie is in the elite levels, and they only know everything about the Neverseen and the Black Swan that they know in Lodestar. So obviously, there ARE Lodestar spoilers in this fanfiction.

Enjoy!

The Land of the Lost

"Keefe, wait up!" Sophie Foster yelled as he bolted down the tedious stairway at the main exit of the silver tower. In his hand, he held an innocent looking stuffed animal frequently known as "Ella."

After a long day of finals, even Keefe was tired. But supposedly not tired enough as to not play a game of keep-away with the blue stuffed elephant.

"Oh, you think that I'll give it to you that easily? No way! Where's the fun in that?" The boy smirked and tried to unsuspiciously slow down. Sophie sped up to catch him, anticipating his every move. Abruptly, Keefe stopped, and not able to maintain control, Sophie fell into him, causing them to both fall down the remaining steps. Brushing herself off, Sophie turned to face the boy that melted her heart. It was hard to stay mad at him. Standing up, he sheepishly handed her the elephant.

"That seemed pretty easy to me." Sophie teased. "Were you going easy on me? 'Cause I know that you are a lot faster than me.""

"Or maybe I'm just tired," He shrugged innocently, but his gleaming eyes told otherwise. It was Saturday after all. Casually, he walked over to the Leap Master 5000, "Candleshade!", and with a nod of his head, he was spinning home.

As Sophie wandered around the Silver Tower, she thought about her life. Biana, Dex, and she were all attending classes in the elite levels, and Sophie also saw Keefe and Fitz regularly during her periods at the Gold Tower. Grady and Edaline seemed to be getting more comfortable with her at home, and they seemed to love her for who she was, not because she looked like Jolie.

Jolie. She was still a mystery...

I hope you enjoyed that chapter! :) I promise to update regularly! Please R&R! Luv ya!
