The Gray Midnight Skye

Chapter 1

Meeting Skye

"Mommy!" a 5-year-old girl called out as her mother got shot. It was a terrible birthday night for Midnight. "R… Run…. Away… Midnight…. Go… to… Forget…. Me Not…. Valley…" her mother told Midnight. "Come Itsu!" Midnight called as her and her dog ran away. Midnight was Mineral Town's little thief so she was a fast runner. But the only reason she steals is because of her family. Her family was really poor so they couldn't pay for food. That was when one day, Midnight got an idea and ran out the house and to the town. She was used to being bare foot all the time. She came back with a ton of food in her hands. She explained to them that she stole them. Anyways… back to the present. Midnight kept running and running. She came to Forget-Me-Not Valley. The mayor of Mineral Town, not knowing that she was the thief, let her live on the farm. The Harvest King gave her a note about bringing back the Harvest Sprites and Harvest Goddess. She promised that she will try her best. As years pasted by, she made friends with Lumina, Muffy, Flora, Nami and Celia. That's pretty much all the girls. Midnight's nicknames for them are Mina, Muff, Flo, Ami and Lia as their nickname for her is Mid. "Ah~ it's the second of Spring already!" Lumina said as she walked around the valley with Midnight. "Yeah… Lily really loves Spring too. But I guess Itsumo likes summer." Midnight said. "Lily… and Itsumo?" Lumina asked. "Lily's my cat. And Itsumo's my dog." Midnight replied.

Midnight's POV

"Hey Mina?" I started. She looked at me, signalling me to continue. "It's our Friendiversary! Let's eat dinner at your place to celebrate!" I continued. We made that word up when we were 6. "Yes! Let's!" She said. Out of all the other girls, Lumina was my best friend. I went back home later on and took out my brown and red dress and wore it. Brown and red are the colours of our friendship. I brushed my long midnight blue hair. That's how I got my name. From my hair. I usually tie my hair up but today was special so I kept it down. I left my house and walked to Lumina's house. I opened the door to see Lumina in brown and red as well. "Curry" She simply said. I smiled as we both entered the kitchen and started cooking. After we finished we brought it to Lumina's room. We switched our curries and started eating. "Wow! Mid! Your curry tastes so good!" Lumina said before she started eating more of it. I smiled. "Thank you. Yours taste great!" I told her as I continued eating. As we ate, we started talking about our memories. When I was talking about what we did to Patrick's dog when we were younger, I stopped mid-sentence because my instincts were telling me that someone is going to enter the room. "What's wrong, Mid?" Lumina asked. I made a signal to be quiet for a second. That was when the door opened then quietly but quickly closed. We then saw a guy with silver hair. "I should be safe in here for a while…" He said. He then noticed us. I quickly stood up. "Who are you!" I asked. I stared at me for a while. "My name is Phantom Skye." He replied. Phantom… Skye… I've heard of that name… but… where?

Skye's POV

I quickly, yet quietly, went up the stairs and entered the first room I saw. After I entered, I quickly closed the door. "I should be safe in here for a while…" I said. I turned to see two girls. One with short light brown hair and the other with long midnight blue hair. The girl with the midnight hair quickly stood up. "Who are you!" She asked me. I studied her for a while. She looks really familiar... "My name is Phantom Skye." I replied. Her eyes went a bit wide after hearing my name. "May I ask what your name is, fair maiden?" I asked her with a smirk. She stared at me before answering. "Midnight." She simply replied. Wait a minute. There was a thief, sort of like me, who stole food and such from Mineral town named Midnight. It can't be her… Can it? I smirked once again. "You know… I know a thief named Midnight. She was just a little girl. She gave complaints to food shop owners about stolen food." I told her. Midnight's eyes widen. "I… I couldn't help it! My family… They were starving to death! I had no other choice of how to help them!" She said. I stared at her. I leaned against shelf, stealing a necklace secretly. "I smell curry. Who made it?" I asked. "We both did. It's a special day today. Today's the day when I first met Lumina." She replied. I looked over at the girl with brown hair. So her name's Lumina. "Well. It's best that I should leave now. Farewell ladies!" I said as I quickly left with the necklace. "Come back here!" I heard Midnight say. But I just chuckled and continued my way out.

Midnight's POV

"Mina! He stole your necklace that your grandmother gave you! Stay here! I'll get it back." I told her. I quickly chased after Skye. I found him outside the mansion. I quickly ran to him and stopped him from leaving. "Hello Midnight. It's a nice night. It makes your beauty stand out." He told me. I felt my cheeks heat up but I ignored it. "Give back Mina's necklace!" I demanded. He lifted my head to meet my eyes. "Seeing you up close like this… Makes me realize that you're more beautiful than you seem from afar…" He said. My blush went deeper. "J-Just please g-give me t-the necklace…" I stuttered. Skye then held my hand. "We will meet again. It's in the stars." He said before letting go of my hand and then leaving. I felt the necklace in my hand that Skye held. I looked at the necklace. Good. It's still in one piece. I slowly walked back to Lumina's room. I found her on the floor in her sleeping bag. I sighed. She always wants me to sleep on her bed, no matter how many times I decline it. I put the necklace back and went to sleep…
