As I was walking in the city close to my old home, people all around me were staring at me like I was an intruder. It was tortuous. After what felt like an eternity, I found an empty alley that was closed to the public of the town. I sighed.

-At least it's better then nothing...

As I started cleaning up, I heard a big thump behind me. I jumped in surprise and pulled out my knife. When I turned around, I saw a boy who looked as surprised as me to see what was in front of us.

-Woah woah woah! Calm down! Please! (he said)

I lowered my knife just a little to observe his light brown and surprisingly beautiful hair.

-Wh... Who are you?! W-What do you want!? (I asked nervously)

-Nothing, I just wanted to wish you a little welcome to the neighbourhood! Well... Not that there IS a neighbourhood... It's just me... I was just exited to finally HAVE a neighbour...

He looked at me for a short amount of time and asked:

-What's with the scarf?

-I just want to keep my identity confidential.

-Why? Are you a criminal?!

-No, of course not you fool!

-Then why the knife?

I realized that my knife was still pointed directly at him. I blushed (luckily, he couldn't see) and put my knife away.

-Protection... (I purely improvised)

-Wow. (he said while crossing his arms)

-What!? Would YOU happen to have a better weapon to protect you?!

-Yes, actually.

My eyes widened. As I opened my mouth to ask, he pulled out a lightsaber and ignited it. A beautiful light blue was glaring in his eyes as he smirked and said mockingly:

-You know, living out here alone is dangerous. That's why you shouldn't just have a kitchen knife to rely on.

-Can you get to the point, please?...

He turned off his lightsaber and hid it in his coat.

-I think that we would get better chances of survival if we would... Team up.

I quickly interrupted him:

-Team up with a total stranger? Translation: Get stabbed in the back at the first occasion?

-Boy are you something else. (he said while taking a step forward)

-Something that doesn't want to die. (I said in a sarcastic tone)

He sighed and looked at me with a smirk.

-What do I have to do to convince you that I'm a good guy then?

-Well first of all, tell me why YOU'RE on the streets. If I juge you're story believable, I might consider teaming up.

He looked at me and his facial expression changed a bit.

-Both of my parents got killed when I was seven... I have been living on my own since then.

I looked at him sadly. His story was believable, but I wanted to know more about this stranger.

-Wer... Wer your PARENTS jedi knights?... (I hazarded)

-Only my father. I got his lightsaber before his death. But I rarely use it. Harming people was never something I liked. (he looked up and smiled poorly) now why are YOU out on the streets? Fugue? Death?

-Both, kinda... (I sighed and sat down) My parents died a few years ago... My au-... S-Someone else in my family took care of my brother and I but that person no longer exist. I would of brought my sibling along, but I know that he would of said no and reported me...

-Oh...

-Yeah... (I looked up at him)

We took a while looking at eatchother, not saying a word. We both knew how we felt. After a while, he smiled and let out his hand.

-So... Team?...

I thought shortly and shook his hand. I said while smiling:

-Team.
