A/N: I feel sad that no one tries to do a Boq-centric story about his childhood so this is my tribute to that.

In Southern Munch, on the dirt street, there was two girls and a fifteen year old boy playing double dutch. The boy, whose hair went mid-back but was tied up with a leather band, was twirling the ropes like a pro. It was tradition in Southern Munch for boys to grow their hair out during childhood then when they went to University or the workforce cut it short. On the other side was a thirteen year old girl, with long brown hair with beautiful green eyes, working the other end of the rope, matching her brother easily. In the middle was a twelve year old girl, who had bright blonde hair also with green eyes.

"Go faster you two, Granny Maggie could work this rope!" The twelve year old said. Boq and his sister Christine shared an evil smirk.

"Alright, Annie if that's what you want." Boq said innocently. Both him and Christine began going at warp-speed. Annie tripped on the first rope turn. She pouted at her older brother from the ground. Boq melted and had to help her up.

"That was not nice."

"You're the one who wanted to go faster." Boq explained.

"Well its my turn to spin anyway." Annie said. "And your turn to jump." Boq got in position to jump in when it was good enough.

"Then spin those ropes!" Boq yelled. The ropes began to move. After a moment of decision Boq jumped and began to jump like a pro. They didn't call him the number 1 double Dutcher for nothing. Suddenly the ropes jerked away and Boq almost fell over but did a quick somersault to right himself. He looked over his shoulder to find the neighborhood bully, Billy. Right behind his humongous frame was his little gang. He never went anywhere without them.

"Look boys, Boqina is playing jump rope." Billy teased as the guys behind him laughed. He cut them off with a wave of his hand.

"Look girls, this is what we call a gorilla," Boq said as he motioned towards Billy. "Big, kind of stupid, and usually travels in a pack." Boq said as Billy's face went red with anger. Boq just smiled. His sisters were desperately trying not to laugh. Annie let a giggle out. Billy got an evil smile. His eyes transferred to Annie before grabbing her around the waist and pulling her close. Annie tried to pull away from him but he was bigger and stronger. Boq got a murderous look in his eye. "Let go of Annie." Boq said through his gritted teeth. True, he had been three when Annie was born, but he was very protective.

"What are you going to do about it Boqina?" Billy said as he pulled Annie closer. He strode up to Billy, strangely calm, before punching Billy hard in the face, breaking his nose. Billy threw Annie to the ground, but Boq easily caught her and gently put her in the arms of her sister. He turned back as a large fist came flying towards him. He ducked easily. A crowd began to form around the two boys. They began circling around, like animals sizing up their prey.

"You know, you're really pathetic Billy. Preying on innocent girls, and me. Torturing little kids, and me. Not leaving anyone alone, and me." Boq said. "LOOK SOAP!" Boq yelled as he pointed in the other direction. Billy turned, afraid. Boq swept his feet out from under him and kicked the other boy's ankles, sending him to the ground. He hit Billy one last time in the face, knocking him out.

He went to his little sister and hugged her before they went to their house, hearing the sound of the dinner bell.

End. What do you think?
