Ripples of Time.

Wish me luck! I couldn't figure the beta thing out so could somebody tell me and I know it's probably really easy but still...

The rain pelted down on the two kids as they ran towards home.

The girl was carrying a dog under her jacket, it was wagging its tail happily.

The boy stopped outside his house and watched his friend run on toward her own home, when she reached the end of the drive she turned and gave him a beautiful smile.

He returned it with an smile that showed to her his true feelings, even if he didn't exactly understand yet.

For the first time in his life Jesse Aarons felt he knew what he wanted to do with his life; he wanted to be with the smiling blonde girl, Leslie Burke, for as long as he lived.

Leslie dissappeared into her house and as Jesse turned to walk towards his there was a sudden sound of wings flapping and a man was standing obtrusively infront of Jesse.

His smile vanished along with the joy he had been feeling.

The man was wearing a plain black shirt with blue jeans and white trainers; Jesse noticed this because when he saw the man's eyes he had to look away in fear; they were alive with pain, recognition and something else.

"Jess, look at me."

Jesse did as the man said, the had a messy kind of hair, hard features and freckles across his face.

But now Jesse wasn't afraid, he felt annoyed and angry.

"How do you know my name?" asked Jesse.

The man swore quietly, he'd messed up already," Doesn't matter, all that matters is that if you don't save her she'll die and..."

A shadow beside the man moved and the man grunted in pain.

"What's wrong, who'll die?"

This seemed to annoy the man and he ignored the pain and reached for Jesse and before Jesse could react he was being spun around to face Leslie's house.

"Who do you think!" the man spat into his ear.

The man collapsed onto the ground and the shadow moved closer.

"Are you threatening her?" Jesse whispered, his voice made the stranger glad he was here to help the kid and not to take him on.

"No, but he..AAARRGH!" the shadow was now right behind the man and Jesse finally noticed it, the Dark Master.

The Dark Master was trying to kill Leslie and also trying to stop this stranger from helping Jesse.

"Why would you help us?" Jesse questioned quietly.

"Because your love for each other created ripples of time, which means..." the Dark Master touched the man and his nose started bleeding but he continued," You will be like Romeo and Juliet; when people think of the word love they will automatically asscotiate it with the names Jess and Leslie, they won't know why but they will. You deserve to be together."

"How will I know when she needs me?" Jesse asked anxiously, kneeling down beside the stranger so the man didn't need to speak so loudly.

He smiled," I'll tell you." And with that he dissappeared to the sound of a flapping noise and Dark Master was taken by the shadows to where He reigned supreme.

A/N I know this was probably really bad but I just couldn't not write it! But anyway please review and be gentle as this is my first fanfic.
