Chapter 1 - Best friends
"Teo? Teo where are you?" Teo's father, The Mechanist came out. "Teo, you've been sitting under the tree for two hours. Come in, please."
"Not until you take me to see Mommy."
Teo, at the young age of six , just didn't realize that his mother was lost in a flood. "Honey, I can't do that." Teo tried to stand up but could, as his legs were also inured in the flood. "Dad, you can do anything! Why won't you let me go see mommy?" The Mechanist tried to change the subject. "Do you want Aang to come over and play? Huh, is that what you want? You can go up to the treehouse and play there and Aang can stay for tea." Teo gave a big smiled and got on to his wheelchair. "Okay, daddy." Teo said, hugging his dad and wheeled away. Suddenly he turned to face his father. "Dad? How long must I sit in this chair?" The Mechanist reached for the phone, dialing Aang's number. "As long as you must, dear."
(the next day)
"I want Aang to come over and play!" The Mechanist was very angry at his son. "No, Aang sprained his leg because he fell out of that stupid tree. He will not come over today. Now go outside and play by yourself. Daddy has work to do." The Mechanist sighed as he watched his son sadly wheel outside. "He doesn't deserve this sort of life. Spirits, heed this prayer, let my son have the life he always dream of."
Teo drew picture in the soil with a stick. Suddenly a truck drove near his house. He crawled over to take a look. It was a moving van. And there was a car behind it. A little girl raced out of the car. "Wow, mommy! This is our new house, look! It has a pnd and everything!" The little girl happily ran around the yard, and then finally collapsed, laughing. Her parents fondled her and walked into the house.
Teo tried to climb over the short fence that separated the two houses. The little girl heard and walked over. "Hi there, my name is Mia. Mia Townsend. What's yours?" Teo smiled and said, "My name is Teo. Teo Hastings. Wanna see my treehouse?"
