Chapter 1

It started out like a normal night on Christmas Eve. I was at home with my family.

"Sparky!" my mom called, from down stairs. "Dinner!"

"Coming!" I called back.

Oh, hi. Didn't see you there. My name's Sparky. I'm a Pichu. 6 years old to tell you the truth. Now, I know what you're thinking, 6 year old going to be left alone at home, right? Well, if you guessed that, you're right.

But, to see what happens, you'll have to read the story to see. And, if you don't want to read the story, then leave now. If you do, stay and enjoy.

I ran down the stairs to where my Mother, a Raichu, named Light was. She was the must pretty Raichu, well.. that's what I think.

"Yeah, Mom?" I asked her.

"Dinner, sweety."

"Okay. Thanks, Mom."

"Welcome. Now, don't stay up late tonight, okay? We're leaving tomorrow."

"Mom?"

"Yes?"

"Why do we have to leave on Christmas? Can't we wait till after?"

"No, Sparky. I told you already, we can't," Mom told me, while eating her food.

"But, why?"

"Your Dad has to work tomorrow, till late, and I don't want to be here when he gets back."

"Oh."

See, my Mother and Father havn't been getting along lately. Mom stays away from Dad, and Dad does the same to Mom. I dunno what to do about it. I wish I could do something, but what?

"Now, go eat, then off to bed."

"Okay, Mom," I said, and went off to my room.

After I got done eating, I crawled into my bed that was made out of nice soft green moss. I curled up into a little yellow ball, and went to sleep.

Little did I know, I was going to wake up tomorrow, alone. Dad won't be coming in, and that will be when the story really begins.
