"Paul hurry up! We want to get to the park!" Paul rolled his eyes as he searched his room for his sneakers. His group of friends were going to the park that day to celebrate the first day of summer.

"I'm coming! Gosh calm down." He yelled back. When he found his shoes he bounded down the stairs to see the faces of his parents with their eyebrows raised.

"What's wrong?" he asked

"Well listening to your friends yell at you for 15 minutes isn't how your father and I would like to spend our morning." His mother replied

Paul sheepishly said back "Yeah, sorry about them I couldn't find my shoes so they felt the need to yell at me every 3 seconds to hurry up."

His father sighed and said it was fine. Paul could tell something was off with them and asked if everything was okay.

"Yeah it is but, when you get back we have to have a talk, your not in trouble but we need to discuss some things."

Paul nodded and said goodbye as he walked out the door

He noticed the relief on his friends faces as he walked toward them. I believe it may be time to explain Paul's group of friends.

Well first we have Ash. Ash well, he, he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed if you know what I'm saying. To make up for the lack of brains his heart is in the right place.

Something I doubt was mentioned is the fact that we live in a world where everyone has power and magic. Some have less and some have more. Our group of friends became friends for two reasons A. because they all had elemental magic and B. they just clicked and it felt right to them.

Next we have Misty. What can I say she is the epitome of being a tomboy. The gavel she carries around is scary too. Despite her tough demeanor she is the mother hen of the group always looking over her friends.

Next we have Dawn. She is the total opposite of Misty. While Misty is sporting jeans and a blue t-shirt Dawn is wearing a pink-miniskirt and a white blouse. She is the girly-girl of the group.

We have Drew. Drew is Paul's best friend and even Paul can't tell what he is thinking. Drew is the girl every girl wants and who every guys wishes they could be.

Finally we have Paul. He barely cracks a smile unless its for Dawn, if you catch my drift, and rarely for her either. Like Misty he truly cares for his friends and would do anything to protect.

"Finally Paul you took forever" Ash called to him

"Shut up, I couldn't find my shoes, besides would it kill you guys to patient for 5 minutes" Paul said rolling his eyes

The group took off towards the local park. With Ash at the front leading the group with Misty next to him and Paul behind them and Drew and Dawn taking up the rear. As they neared the park Dawn bounded up next to him and asked what had taken so long.

"Troublesome, didn't I say I couldn't find my shoes."

"A. my names Dawn D-A-W-N and B. I was wondering if anything else kept you" she retorted

Paul rolled his eyes and spoke "Yeah my parents chewed me out for you guys yelling at my window"

"Really?" started Dawn "They usually don't mind, was anything wrong this morning"

Paul nodded and spoke "Apparently we need to have a talk tonight I am really curious as to what was wrong"

"Maybe Reggie is coming home" Dawn offered. Paul's brother Reggie was at College currently in another region.

Paul shook his head and answered "No I was on videochat with him last night and had asked when he was coming home and he said not until at least November for the Holidays"

Dawn fell silent as she was out of possible conversations the Shinji's would be discussing that night.

AS the group stood in front of the park entrance together waiting to walk in when they started discussing what they wanted to do.

"Lets play soccer" suggested Ash

Everyone agreed except for Dawn. She said that if all of them played then the teams would be uneven and besides she was wearing a skirt.

As Dawn went to sit on the bleachers that were beside the field they others would be playing on the rest of them made teams.

"Alright how about Ash and I and Drew and Paul" suggested Misty. They all agreed on the teams and began the game.

As they got their places on the field Dawn decided to have some fun. As Ash ran with the ball towards Drew and Paul who were waiting for him to get close, Misty had been running behind him until they heard a yell run through the air.

"What the hell?" Misty yelled.

'I was just running and I tripped on thin air' Misty thought as she got herself up

As Misty got herself back on her feet she noticed Drew running towards her with the ball. She shook her head and got ready to cut him off. She started of going left and shot right in hopes of faking him out.

Right as the ball was in her reach something caused the ball to go straight into Drew's chest.

Though the impact wasn't enough to physically hurt Drew it was enough to knock the wind out of him. He fell to the ground on his knees coughing trying to get the air back in his lungs. The rest of the gang ran over to make sure he was okay

"Drew, I'm so sorry are you okay?" Dawn practically squealed,

"Why are you sorry, you were just sitting there" Drew asked suspiciously

Dawn sheepishly replied "Yeah but I sorta kinda used magic to have a little fun"

Drew sighed as did Misty now that they knew that they hadn't lost there sports ability.

"It's okay Dawn" they both said

Dawn smiled and offered that they sit and relax. About an hour later they were in silence basking in the sweet summer air. Laying side by side they breathed in the taste of freedom until Paul's phone went off.

Paul looked at his phone to see that is was 6 o' clock in the afternoon. Paul's eyes bugged out when he realized how long they had been hanging out.

He answered his phone to hear his mother on the other line "Paul I know you are out with your friends but, we really need to have that talk now"

Paul rolled his eyes and answered "Really mom cant I stay for just another hour" Mrs. Shinji sighed and spoke "I'm really sorry Paul I am but its now or never."

Paul told his mom that he would be home in 5 minutes and turned to his friends "Guys my parents nedd me home I got to go"

The others started arguing against Paul's sudden leave when he cut their rants off "You guys are acting like it's the last day of Summer, news flash it's the first"

The others gave up on keeping Paul there and let him go with a chorus of goodbyes.

As Paul walked home with the sun setting behind him he had a lot on his mind. He was thinking about how really pretty Dawn had looker that day 'No I have to keep those thoughts out of my head I don't like that girl shes Troublesome.

When Paul walked into his Living room he noticed that his parents were waiting for him with an assortment of papers on the table.

"So what's up" Paul asked casually

His Parents shared a look before answering "We have some news that we would like to share with you" Paul nodded before they continued "You remember your grandmother and grandfather right?" his father asked.

Another nod

"Well I'm sorry to tell you but, 2 weeks ago they both passed, Paul I'm so sorry"

Paul was shocked. Though he wasn't very close to either of his grandparents the news still shocked him. "What does this mean for the family?"

"Well we were about to get into that." His parents shred another look.

"Paul, this might shock you but, you have a younger sister 15 to be exact."

Paul's mouth hung straight open out of immediate shock of sudden news. "Well if I have a sister then where has she been all these years."

Another look was shared between his parents "Truthfully, son, when she had just been born she was taken away from us for undisclosed reasons, to this day we don't know why she was taken away"

"Alright I'll bite but where is she now?" Paul asked "We were about to get into that, for another undisclosed reason she was left and raised by and with your grandparents. Now that they have passed she is to be returned to us and we will take care of her."

Shock filled Paul's mind as the information processed "So what your saying is that I'm getting a sister?"

"Yes"

"When is she getting here?, what s her name?, have you spoken with her"

The questions shot out one after another barely giving his parents time to think of an answer "that's why it was so crucial we talked early enough tonight for she is coming at any minute and no we have not spoken with her tonight will be the first time since she was born and taken away"

"you didn't answer my other question, Whats her name?"

"May Shinji"

At the same time as Paul's mother told him his new sister's name a knock on the door told them all that their new guest had arrived.
