"Good night Troy." Kelly Bolton said to her son. She kissed his forehead and pulled the covers up to his chin and patted out the wrinkles.
"Night mommy." Eight year old Troy Bolton smiled to his mom.
Kelly sat down at the edge of his bed. "Do you know what tomorrow is?"
Troy looked around his room, "Tuesday?"
Kelly laughed, "No silly, it's a new day!"
"Oh. Okay." Troy replied.
"And do you know what that means?" Kelly asked.
"School?" Troy answered.
"No." Kelly started. "Well, yes. But it is also a chance to find the day's purpose."
Troy sighed, he hated this. "But I can never find it!"
"That's because you're not looking in the right spots." Kelly said smoothing out Troy's hair.
"Where am I supposed to look?" Troy cried.
"I don't know dear." Kelly said smiling, "You have to find that out for yourself."
Troy grumbled to himself, "Why?"
"Because Troy." Kelly said, "When you find out that purpose, you know what your purpose in life is."
Troy nodded for a second before asking, "What was your purpose?"
Kelly smiled down at Troy and said, "Your father." Troy smiled back at her, and she added, "And you."
"I love you Mommy." Troy said giving her a hug.
"I love you too Troy." Kelly said, returning it. She got up from his bed and made her way to the door. "Goodnight Troy."
"Night Mommy." Troy said, snuggling into the warmth of his blankets.
"Don't forget to search for that purpose." She said.
"I won't Mommy. Don't worry." Troy said smiling. Kelly smiled back and closed his light.
And Troy was left to dream of the purposes he would find in the days to come.
-
My mom used to tell me everyday has a purpose.
She couldn't exactly tell me what those purposes were, but every night just before she closed the light she would say to me, "Tomorrow's a new day Troy. Find the purpose."
And everyday I would try.
Every single day.
But I could never find it.
Never.
Then today, something miraculous happened.
I found the purpose.

And here's a new story. I was originally going to give a full chapter, but when I was half way through it I decided to read it over, and I started and I really liked the last few lines Troy says, and I really think it shows what is going to happen. And I was just going to put the few lines and make them one chapter, but then I decided to add a memory. They're fun to write.
And its this short because its just a prologue.
Anyways, I hope you like it! I hope I can get updates out faster, and I'll try really hard.
Please review and tell me what you think. :)
