Sonia's p.o.v.

I heard Commander Apetrully is letting a girl stay at Big Green, and I'm hoping she'll like to do at least some of the things I like. Maybe she'll be the little sister I never had. When I enter this girl's room, I only saw a empty bed, a closet, and alot of boxes piled into a mountain. I guess she's not here.

"Why do I have alot of stuff?" I heard a girl's voice behind Mt. Box.

I walk behind the boxes, and found a rather cute monkey. Her fur was pink and white with a big, white, heart-shaped mark on her chest. She wore a gold necklace with a golden rose, a silver bracelet with a star-shaped sapphire on her right wrist, a silver bracelet with a heart-shaped ruby on her left wrist, and a pair of pink, heart-shaped earrings.

"Hello, my name is Hope." I noticed the monkey in front of me.

"Um... Hi, my name is Mystique Sonia, but you can call me Sonia if you want to." I said.

"Is that a Yaksha? It's cute." Hope said.

Yaksha hopped on Hope's head, wrap his arms around her, and happily chatter.

"I think Yaksha likes you." I said.

"I like you too, Yaksha." Hope said.

Aw. Maybe I am going to have a little sister-like friend, even if she's a monkey.

"I think my room is a little bland. Maybe the walls should be painted. Do you know anyone who's good at painting?" Hope ask, tilting her head to the right.

"Of course, you could ask Lin Chung. He's the best artist in the Hidden Kingdom. You can find him in the bamboo forest." I said.

"Thank you."

Yaksha hop back on my head as I watch that monkey walk away. She seem to got a good heart and some style with jewelry.


Lin Chung's p.o.v.

I was in the bamboo forest, trying to think what I should paint, but I'm starting to lose some inspiration.

"Hello, are you Lin Chung?" I heard a unfamiliar voice from out of nowhere. It sounded... sweet in a rather sisterly way.

"Who's there?" I ask, hoping to get an answer.

"Down here."

I realize I was meditating on the end of my staff. I look down, and saw a pink and white monkey wearing jewelry. What I really notice about her is her big, white heart mark. I could almost feel the innocence surrounding her yet there's a dark feeling about her.

"Um... Hello?" I replied, getting down from my staff.

"I am Hope. I repeat, are you Lin Chung?" The monkey ask.

"Yes. How do you know my name?"

"Mystique Sonia told me that you might be here. I was going to ask you if you could paint the walls in my new room in Big Green." Hope said.

I did remember Commander Apetrully saying something about a new girl in Big Green, but I would never expect the girl would be a monkey.

"Okay. I want to paint something first before I do, but I have no inspiration yet." I said.

"I'm sure you'll think of something. I heard you're like the Hidden Kingdom's best artist." Hope said.

I smile at her.

"I think I got a idea." I said.

"There you go! See you back at Big Green later?" Hope said.

"Okay." is all I said before I started to paint.

Hope walk away, humming a little song. She's like a little sister, but I could feel she's hiding something from her past.


Alpha Girl's p.o.v.

Second Squad and I were going back to our briefing room from training. I stopped when I noticed a pink and white monkey coming out of our room and quickly leaving. Somehow, the guys didn't notice that.

"What's wrong, captain?" Kowloon ask.

"Um... It's nothing." I said.

When we enter our breifing room, we noticed a red tin box on the table. I open the lid, revealing to be cookies.

"Cookies!" Hurricane and Archer shouted, already digging in.

I noticed a note on the lid, which said, To: Second Squad. From: Hope. I hope you like them.

Looking away from the note, I noticed the same monkey from before at the door. I still can't believe the guys aren't seeing her. I went to her and said,"Were you the one?"

"Yup." The monkey said with a childish smile.

"Why?" I ask.

"I thought you guys need some appreciation."

I raise a eyebrow and ask,"Where are you from?"

"oh, I'm new here."

Then I realize it. She must be that girl Commander Apetrully told everyone about. Why didn't he mention she's a monkey!? But I kind of like her anyway.

"Um... I hope you enjoy those cookies." Hope said, walking away.

"Thanks?" I said. I felt kind of weird saying that, but it felt good.


Rosefinch's p.o.v.

The Air Force were having a bit of an break. With Twin Masters around, it's hard to feel like nothing is going to kill us any minute. It's would be nice to have someone to tell you that nothing bad is going to happen to us.

"Hello." I heard a voice beside me.

I just noticed a pink and white monkey with a white heart mark on her chest. How didn't I notice her when she came in?

"Hello?" I said to her.

"I'm Hope, and you are?" The monkey said.

"Rosefinch."

She just look at me with a smile.

"Okay, what do you want? And why are you here in Big Green?" I ask her.

"I just want to meet the locals here since Big Green is my new home." Hope said.

You got to be kidding me. She's the girl that's going to live in Big Green.

"You're the new girl the commander told everyone about?" Master Chou ask.

"Yup."

"Then, I'm Master Chou of the Air Force." Chou said. "This is Burly, Mano, and I guess you already met Rosefinch."

Hope nodded.

"So, why did Commander Apetrully let you live here?" I ask.

Her eyes widen as she bit her lower lip.

"Uh... I'm coming, Apetrully!" Hope suddenly shouted.

As she quickly runaway, Burly ask, "What was that all about?"

Master Chou, Mano, and I just shrug. Is that monkey hiding something?
