Hi guys!

These are a bunch of one-shots based on what happens to the Loric on the first ship.

Enjoy and review!

Sandor's POV

"... 48... 49... 50! Ready or not, here I come!" I yell.

Hide and seek has always been Nine's favourite game, even back on Lorien. Nine. That's what I have to call him now.

A few days ago, the Mogadorians had invaded our home planet, Lorien. During all that chaos, we were all ushered onto a ship. This ship. Me and eight other Cepans. Nine and eight other Garde.

I must've been standing there for a while, because soon, Nine comes up to me and interupts my thoughts.

"SAAAANDOOOOR!" he yells right into my ear.

"OW!" I yell, clutching my ear. Nine grins.

"Are we playing or not?" Nine says, pouting. It's not really a question, more of an order, like: play with me or else.

"Sure, kiddo. I was just thinking," I answer. Honestly, sometimes it's like he's the one in charge of me, not the other way around.

"You know what'll make this game even more fun?" I ask Nine. He looks up hopefully. "If you played with other kids instead of just with me."

Nine wrinkles his nose and shakes his head. "They're all weak," he says. "Not like me." He flexes his arms, showing off his imaginary muscles. I laugh. He is strong, compared to the other Garde, but hide and seek isn't exactly a game that requires muscle.

"Come on, it'll be fun. They're nice kids," I tell him. He thinks about it, then slowly nods, then scampers off to make some new friends. I sigh. I'll finally get a rest.

Why couldn't I have gotten a more peaceful Garde?

Nine's POV

I'm off to make new friends, just like Sandor told me to. I've decided to just pick the first five people I see.

The first kid I come across is a boy who is trying to comfort a crying girl. He has black curly hair and is tall, but not as tall as me. He's also a little strong-looking, but, of course, not as strong as me.

I decide to come over and ask both of them to play. A good game of hide and seek with me should make that girl happy again. It should make any girl happy again, to be with me, since I'm so handsome, unless they're 'not in their right mind' as I've heard Sandor call those big bad bullies that made stuff big and fiery.

"Do you wanna play hide and seek with me," I ask them both, knowing that mentioning myself would make all the difference. The boy rolls his eyes but nods and the girl sniffs. I smile and run off to find some more new friends.

No one could resist my power!

So I actually thought it was kind of fun to write what Nine would've been like when he was a kid, and since hide and seek is the classic game for kids, I used that!
