So, hello! I love Big Hero 6, and the series brought me one of my favorite characters of all: Karmi. Not only that, I brought my current OTP: Karmiro. The second season brought me more material and even if the ship is debatable to some, I like it a lot. Besides the show, I'll bask in some personal HC, but more to the background of Kamri.

This chapter takes place before the series and it's about one of the tropes that I'm a sucker for: they've seen each other before!

Appearances:

Karmi X Hiro

Karmi's father

Tadashi and Cass (Minors)

Karmi's mother (Cited)

Warning: Nothing!

Disclaim: I do not own Big Hero 6, unfortunately.

Karmi passed her hand one last time on the blue dress, the color matched with the sneakers and tiara she wore, checking in the mirror if everything was in order. Although orange was the color she loved more, the occasion called for a temporary change in it. And everything couldn't be more perfect, the smile increasing more and more when thinking about the direction things took that day.

Not only her father not punished her for the suspension received, in defense that guy deserved to constantly torment a 10 year old girl being visibly stronger, but surprisingly he found a place in the agenda to go to the visitation of the phenomenon of the year, the Blue Moon!

The thought made Karmi give a shout of happiness and take some hopes that made her ponytail go up and down. The occasion had always been one of her favorites since she could remember, and it meant a lot to have her father around. He was usually busy and had no time for her, who had become more aware of it in recent times. However, she couldn't blame him, raising her seemed difficult and since her mother...well, life was no longer the same.

"Karmi!" The call of her name took her out of her daydreams and the girl came down, changing the face that had become dark, it was a happy night and she would enjoy it as such. Leaving the room, she went down the stairs to the downstairs where she was expected. Walking through the great corridors of the house, the walls full of family portraits, went to the garage having a pleasant conversation about what they would do, and the girl felt like a princess when the father opened the car door indicating to get in, bowing slightly.

"All set?" The man asked his daughter with a smile, which was answered with an enthusiastic nod. Sitting on the seat and fastening their seatbelts, so the pair were on the road. The trip went smoothly and thanks to the driver's knowledge of the chaotic streets, they didn't have to worry about any traffic jams resulting from the event. Or the normal ones.

The city lights were incredible, reflecting the bright scenery in the girl's brown eyes, a dreamy air predominating her features as she watched through the window, the cold breeze hitting the face. From the busy streets to the balloons above the clouds, Karmi studied everything with admiration and attention. San Fransokyo changed and breathed around her, looking like a living organism.

Individuals, stores and machines made up a unique scenario that she was sure only existed there, endless possibilities as far as the imagination could reach. People who could be helped, lives that the prodigy was sure that when she got a little older, she would defend at any cost with the gift she had been given.

It should be more beautiful from above, but unless she had a way of flying, she had to settle for what she had.

The vehicle zigzagged until it reached the place where the attraction could be seen in all its glory. It was more crowded than the year before, that's for sure.

Father and daughter left the car in the parking lot and followed on foot to enjoy the movement and everything that the situation offered. Karmi held her father's hands tight, fearing that she would get lost in that sea of people that her height would not allow her to see an end in the moment.

The area near the generally deserted exit from the city was filled with curious people and people with telescopes, all excited to take a picture, enjoy the view or record scientific information as some SFIT students did.

People laughed and had fun, groups bringing towels and baskets full of night picnics, families recording the event and even some couples taking advantage of some romantic moments, filling the air with good energy which made Karmi enjoy the party even more.

The Blue Moon was a famous phenomenon in San Fransokyo and attracted a huge number of people, both from outside and from the city itself. Many even opened small tents to see if they could make some money with the extra movement, resulting in the best sweets and decorations of the year, distributed in parallel rows, all having the blue decoration in common.

As the duo walked more through the small fair, the more the girl is enchanted with the costume jewelry and souvenirs, acquiring some bags along the way of objects that both she and her father bought, the intense movement in each place they stopped.

It was all magical, the thematic color predominating each place, looking like a scenery of a fantasy film, the trees and flowers of the place resulting from the proximity to the Muihara Forest contributing to the sensation. She could have sworn the air was glittery when something caught her attention.

The man took a fright when his daughter pulled him in abruptly. "Daddy, look!"

Karmi's eyes sparkled with the sight of a simple but neon-edged tent selling the biggest marshmallows and chocolate-coated fruits she had ever seen. Coming closer, a blonde teenager informed the price and Karmi turned.

"You can buy one, please!" The young girl made a face that would sensitize even the most fearsome of villains and her father laughed. He couldn't say no to those eyes. One quick move and she was savoring a skewer of one of her favorite sweets, besides winning a bag of sweets as a toast.

Even full of people, the place of observation was still predominantly large and bucolic. Not only the trees but the flowers and the neon lights increased the feeling of space, with countless groups sitting around waiting for the right time to start the observation. The green grass and the cold wind were a bonus on the set.

The girl came back from the trash and wiped some chocolate off her face when she asked a question. "Dad, can I go play?"

"Yeah. Just don't go too far." The man replied, seeing her running a little farther away to appreciate the sense of freedom the place afforded.

Karmi was growing up, she was no longer so childish and would soon become a teenager full of dreams and desires. He only feared that all that sweetness and kindness she had would be extinguished by the wickedness of the world. The girl was a prodigy endowed with a brilliant and advanced mind, but she was still only a ten-year-old child who had lost her mother very early and struggled to fit in, she was different. And people tend to be cruel to what's different.

When I heard that her daughter had filled a high school boy's closet with poisonous herbs, he has just discovered the bullying her daughter had gone through. That was the main reason for bringing her, Karmi had been through many things and deserved to feel good and that there was nothing wrong with being her if only for one night.

However, as he turned him attention to where she was, she was no longer there.

Or anywhere around it.

That was a problem.

XxX

That was definitely a problem!

Karmi had entered too much between the trees and suddenly had no idea where she was anymore, not knowing if it was the clearing or Muihara Woods. With effort, she looked from one side to the other trying to recognize a familiar landscape, but everything was different from what she remembered. Never follow a butterfly again!

Okay... she had to focus on solving the real problems now.

Despite all the fear was feeling, things could be worse. The sky was visible and even without any illumination, there was still some light coming from the moon, allowing her to see the ground and the plants. Getting closer to a tree, she had an idea to at least follow somewhere.

"Moss always grows north. And the fair's up north, so... "She reasoned with herself, hoping that what she had read was right.

Gathering all the calm she could get, Karmi moved on, the arms around herself due to the cold. Soon the moon would turn blue and she would be there, wandering alone in the middle of a forest with wild animals, not to mention the confusion she would get into if she came to meet her father. That night had turned into a disaster.

All thoughts were interrupted when she heard something.

"It's anybody else there? "She shouted with a frightened face, the sound coming in the same direction as her path led her to leave no choice but to continue. Taking a branch from the ground and lifting it above the head, she advanced until her expectations were broken.

It wasn't a bear or Hibagon ready to eat her, but a boy a little younger and who seemed to have been attacked by a squirrel since his hair was a mess. He was hugging his knees, sitting alone, and he couldn't stop crying.

Slowly processing the information, Karmi released what she had in her hands, softening her expression. He must have been scared and she wouldn't make it worse. Getting closer and kneeling in front of him, the round dress spreading, took some time to check if he was hurt, the stranger still doesn't seem to notice her presence.

"Are you all right?" Finally, she asked, tilting her head forward.

The boy raised his head abruptly, revealing a pair of large, marvelous hazelnut-colored eyes. He seemed surprised to find someone else there, especially in the same age group, not too different from the girl who had found him.

"Y-Yes, I'm fine." He answered with his voice a little embarrassed, wiping the tears with the arm. Karmi arched her eyebrow, don't buy it.

"Well, then why are you crying?" She asked with her arms crossed, her voice sounding inquisitive, but still soft.

The boy averted his eyes to the ground, the tone of sadness prevailing. "I got lost from my family. I saw some people who did not like me, my brother and aunt were busy, so I fled here and could not go back." The tears from the eyes threatening to come back in full force. "Now I'm alone."

Karmi felt the heart squeeze, the feeling of empathy dominating her mind and the pity her features. She had to help.

Got up and began to walk, the boy following her with his eyes, went from he's front to the side, sitting with her hands on the dress, a privileged view of the heavens on top of the heads of the two of them.

"Well, I'm here." She had a fun and cheerful tone. "I'm lost too, and I'm not going anywhere."

The young man saw that she had a singing smile. "You don't have to be alone."

Those words made him feel better and return the smile. Karmi realized he had a little crack in his teeth and thought it was cute. They paid attention up, soon the blue moon would begin.

"Do you have a plan?" The unexpected question took the prodigy by surprise, no one used to ask ideas for her.

"Sit back and wait to find us. Or walk north until find a way out. Depends on how long we're going to be here." The answer was on the tip of the tongue, though.

His eyebrows went deep, staring at the girl. "How do you know where the North is?"

Karmi pointed north of them. "The moss grows there. A Sequoia sempervirens which I saw had several in that direction."

He shook his head in confusion. "A Seq- what?" Okay, that girl had now accomplished a feat, saying something he hadn't understood. "I know a lot about robots and physics, but..."

"A sequoia. What I said was it scientific name. Muihara Woods has several of them. "Sometimes she forgot that even though she was a genius in biology, not everyone was and that often-left others without knowing what she had said.

"And how do you know that? Isn't you a little... young for so much information?"

"I know a lot of things." Karmi proudly affirmed her condition. "And you said you knew a lot about robotics and physics, you are kind young for that, too.

"Touché. Plants and nature aren't much my area."

"I get it." She pointed to the mess that was in his hair, narrowing the eyes. "How did you piss off a squirrel so much?"

"Hey!" He answered offended, "That's my hair, very pretty by the way!" The boy made a face.

Karmi forced a laugh in, he was funny too.

"It's not funny!" He repelled and became a little red with anger at the situation.

"Don't feel bad." She ran her hand through the dark hair next to her "It's soft." Again, he turned red, but Karmi was kind enough not to point out the reason why this time it was so.

Checking the pockets in her dress, she found another package of candy she had won. Thanking internally for the find.

The girl stretched out her hand. "Do you want one?" She offered, having another one already stuck in the mouth. He seemed scared of how fast Karmi could swallow it. "I won't bite, you can take it."

Receiving the candy, he gave a sound of approval. "It's not gummy bears, but it's tasty. "The boy pulled a piece of his teeth, remembering that he hadn't asked a very important question. "Hey, what's your na-"

He stopped when noticed that she was not paying attention, on the contrary, stared intensely at something else. Following her line of sight, he realized what was happening. Gradually the moon became more and more blue, the satellite illuminating the sky until it was completely transformed. The stars seemed brighter with the phenomenon that was in all its splendor, it was beautiful!

The two were stunned, and the smile soon occupied the children's faces. The bluish light bathed them both and the boy spied on the corner of his eye.

Karmi was completely fascinated, all the fears that she had dissipated at that moment with that vision were beautiful, being filled by an emotion that could not explain.

"It's wonderful." The boy smiled when he saw the company so ecstatic. She looked nice.

The girl turned to face him, giving a smile. "What's your-"

"There you are!" A male voice appeared behind them, who turned to see who it was. A tall teenager with black hair and features like the boy was keeping her company appeared and Karmi deduced that this must be the brother he had spoken to. He had a worried face and his body language showed that he was not happy at all.

"Where have you been, aunt almost..." He stopped in the middle of the sentence, looking at the girl who was with his brother.

Silently and possessing an unreadable facial expression, he took a cell phone out of his pocket, recording the scenery of the two children under the blue lights. Finishing processing what happened, the younger boy's brain seemed to call, and he advanced to get the cell phone.

He was embarrassed. "Hey, you better put that out! "He exclaimed, trying to pick up the phone, but the height put him at a disadvantage, not to mention that the fact that the other one purposely made it louder did not help.

Karmi finally stood up, curiously watching the pair with a small smile. Being an only child had stolen some of her interactions that she wanted to have. The brothers turned their attention to her, and the eldest came closer.

"And you, I presume, are also lost."

The girl nodded her head and was surprised when a hand was offered to her. "Come on, I'm going to get you out of here."

She hesitantly accepted, watching the person who was keeping her company grabbing the other one. It was the best option. After a few minutes of walking, Karmi was again in the open part of the place, happy not to have to spend the night in the forest.

In the sky, the blue moon was still shining.

"Daddy!" The girl ran towards her parent when she saw him, leaving the pair aside.

The man had a troubled face that melted as he saw his daughter sucking, kneeling, and opening her arms for a warm, tight hug when she saw two young men approaching as well.

"You must be her father." The teenager spoke out, the younger boy hiding behind his legs. A curious look at the girl.

"They got lost. I went looking for my brother and they were watching the moon together."

"I thank you for finding her."

Karmi went in front of him, looking up to make up the difference in height. "Thank you very much! For helping me!"

Receiving a smile back and on her way out, she heard someone calling her back. The voice of the new acquaintance turning on his heels.

"Hey, will I... be able to see you again?" The question was a little hesitant and made her widen the eyes. She wasn't expecting that one. He, on the other hand, was anxiously awaiting an answer.

"I don't know. Maybe?" It did not seem to be the answer that seemed to be expected, but it was all Karmi could answer, life was unpredictable, and she had learned it at a very young age. But, a new air of determination dominated the face of the little one.

"Well, I know. In the future, you'll see me and if you need help, I'll repay you for the favor you've done. Even if you don't want to. "A mischievous face was the last thing Karmi saw before him and his brother disappeared into the crowd and it was announced that she had been grounded all week.

Even so, Karmi couldn't help but notice the fun face her manager had after the event, it was strange, but refreshing to see. In the car, going back home after a few more sweets and enjoying the rest of the phenomenon, she already felt overwhelmed by sleep, sleeping in the passenger seat.

Her father laughed at himself. "He seemed a good kid."

XxX

Hiro returned home in Tadashi's arms, having slept not long after the meal they had after their unexpected rescue. Now, the young genius was asleep while his dreams followed unconsciously the conversation the family members had about him.

"How cute!" Cass almost fell off the chair which he was in when he saw the photo that his nephew had gotten in the middle of the forest. The faces of the two children enriching every aspect of it.

"Completely kind. "Tadashi boasted of the feat, designing the device and putting it in his pocket. Silently staring him aunt organizing the coffee.

"Too bad I couldn't get to know her, she seemed nice. And we have to solve this social problem that Hiro has."

"Don't worry, Aunt Cass, I'll take care of it. The two things. "The boy reassured "Not to mention that you know the story. Once under the blue light you can only feel and speak the truth. Then Hiro must fulfill his promise."

He looked up at the sky, smiling. "And those two still have a lot to live for." They would have a story, Tadashi could feel.

And that was the truth.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I love this trope, no matter how cliché it may be! The idea of them knowing each other before is very cute and I could not resist! What Tadashi said about the moon is just a legend to run among SFIT astronomy students, it is not real. But, the feelings. Boi, things get more fun there!

Read and reread, until the next, pals! I'm out!
