Hello fellow RENTheads! This is my first story so don't be brutal. I am gonna stick with most of the original pairings but the first couple of Chapters will be focused on Roger and Mimi but don't worry the Angel/Collins fluff will come soon. I really want to see what you guys think of it so review!
PS I do not own RENT or Kinder Eggs. Though I had some Kinder Eggs not to long ago while watching RENT, if that means anything.
RIP

Those words were carved deeply into both the tombstone and Mimi's heart. She had seen the tombstone soon many times if she closed her eyes and
there it would be, like a ghost haunting her mind. Her father had died of a mysterious cause when she was ten and since then Mimi liked to come to
his grave to talk when she needed to. She needed to right now, she felt alone like she didn't fit in to the rest of the puzzle. Mimi's mother had just
died, her only friend .
Mimi grew up on a small town in New Jersey , her mother was always struggling to keep bread on the table ( her father never had a job) as a
seamstress . For that reason Mimi would last years at the time with the same item of clothing, old jeans were changed into shorts and then into skirts.
Mimi learned to sew from her mother and was a very good seamstress, though that wasn't her passion , she loved to dance. Ever since she was a
little girl she had loved to dance with a passion. Her father never approved of it, her mother supported her, though.
"Papi! Mama is gone now. What will I do? Where will I go? I am only nineteen, please help me Papi."
Mimi's father was not the greatest father in the world , he drank, smoked, and never held a steady job for more than twelve days and he would
disappear for days at a time. Even after all this faults Mimi still loved her father when Mimi really needed him he always came through for her.
Mimi stood and gave a final glance at the grave before walking off. She had to find a place to go, she was all alone. She had no one left. If she were
to die no one would care.
Mimi approached her and her mother's apartment building. It was an old building with rickety wooden steps and a bad roof. But this is where Mimi
grew up and she loved it here .
As the door opened there was a long crrrrrrreaaakkkkk, that sound was always heard when the door was opened, it was now comforting to Mimi.
That night Mimi was in her mother's room, looking through her mother's many papers.
" All of this is just junk." Mimi whispered to herself. Suddenly she heard and odd noise and whipped around. "Oh it's just you Napoleon! " She picked
up her old grey cat that her father had given he years ago. He flew out of her arms and ducked under the bed "Come here Napoleon!" yelled Mimi as
she ducked under the bed. She stuck her hand under the bed until she felt something. It was a papery material. Out curiosity she pulled the item out.
It was a paper, a letter ,
Dear Isabella,
I do not know if I can forgive you for what you did. It was lowly especially for you. This is not sisters are suppose to act. I may not forgive you for as
long as I live. But even after what you did I will always love you, you are my sister-.The rest was crossed out almost as if she had messed up.
"Mama had a sister! And her name was Isabella! Maybe she could help me!" Mimi was completely surprised, her mother had never mentioned a
sister. "I need to find her! But what if she doesn't want to help me? Why didn't Mama ever mention a sister? Why is she so mad at her sister, what
did she do? "Mimi pondered out loud.
She suddenly went to her knees and started to look through the pile of paper frantically. Not long after a smile started to tug at her lips as she read
a paper, then she jumped up in joy screaming, "Napoleon! I found it! I found Tia Isabella's address!"

Roger kneeled down by the grave of his mother and father's grave. This was a familiar sight for Roger, he had been going to his parent's grave
since he was six. Roger barely remembered his parents, they were a distant memory, like a dream that had been worn out by the years.
"Hey Mom, Hey Dad. Guess what? Today is the thirteenth anniversary of your death. I know, not the best thing to celebrate. Anyway , I brought you
guys flowers. Grandpa sends his love. So yeah, bye." Roger said before turning around and briskly walking off. The cemetery had always made him
nervous even as an adult.
Roger's parents died in a plane crash and since then Roger had lived with his grandfather in the apartment building he owned. Most of the tenants
were like family to him. His two best friend lived in the apartment building;Mark and Maureen. Mark was a shy clumsy dorky boy that Roger had met
when he moved in at age eight. Maureen was the complete opposite, loud and dramatic. Mark had always had feelings for Maureen but Maureen had
never looked at Mark that way, and she made it never gave up, he only had eyes for Maureen.
He was anxious to go back to New York to see his friends, he only came to New Jersey to see his parents. He lived here until his parents died and he
had to move with his grandfather. As he exited he began to think about the lake where his parents always would take him.I should go, I haven't been
there in ages a grin played his face as he grew nearer to the lake.
New York. New York. That was Mimi's destination. Her new home, hopefully. She waltzed around the room as she started to pack all her belongings
(which weren't many)chatting aimlessly with Napoleon. She went through all her things deciding which were practical, which she did not need,and
which she did not need but was taking them anyway. In the end she had one large suitcase filled with:
three dresses
five blouses
three skirts
two camisoles
two pairs of shoes
a music box that was her mother's
her makeup
her sewing kit
some of Napoleon's toys
and all her underwear
She had decided to leave the next morning,but first she needed to say goodbye to the place she grew up.
First, she went to the corner store where she would spend afternoons as a child waiting for her mother to return from the textile. As she stepped into
the building the familiar aroma of fresh fruit and peppermint greeted her. "Hello Mimi. How are you?" said the elderly women standing behind the
counter. "Hello Mrs. Espinosa," Mrs. Espinosa had been Mimi's companion on those cold afternoons and always offered her a cup of hot chocolate as
she did her math homework. "I came to say goodbye, I am going to New York to be with my tia, Mama's sister," she explained to Mrs. Espinosa. "Te
vas?" Mrs. Espinoza asked with glassy eyes. "Si I am leaving, but I will miss you." tears started to threaten her eyes as well. "Well then, I will not let
you leave empty handed." Mrs. Espinosa said as she turned to the shelves behind her where the candy was. She grabbed a bag and put many orange
white and blue boxes in to it. When she thought she had filled the bag enough(it was bulging) she handed it to Mimi. A huge smile played her face as
she looked inside" Huevos Kinder! I used to love these. "It was true, as a child Mimi loved the chocolate eggs that were milk chocolate on the outside
and white chocolate on the inside. But her favorite part was that there was a prize inside, the prize could be anything. "I wish you well." said Mrs.
Espinosa as she gave Mimi a hug and there they said their teary goodbyes.
Mimi made a stop at the textile where her mother worked, the library, the dance lounge and finally she decided to stop at the lake where her and
her father spent many summers.
There was a large field of green grass surrounding the large lake. Mimi sat near the edge of the lake and starred into it's murky depth. She reached
into her bag and pulled out a Kinder Egg, she began to unwrap it, she broke a piece of the chocolate and it slowly melted into her mouth. She closed
her eyes, she was in her own chocolate heaven.
When she was finished she opened the small container that had the tiny surprise inside, but as the tiny egg shaped container burst open pieces of
the surprise fell into the lake. Mimi gasped, she stuck her hand inside the lake and began to feel around.
She leaned in, deeper, and deeper, and deeper until the water was up to her shoulder. She began to feel around for the toy. Out of nowhere Mimi felt
her whole body surrounded by the cold, murky water of the lake. She flailed her arms and legs with no avail. It seemed that her foot was stuck. Mimi
began to feel light-headed and everything seemed to slowly turn black.
Roger sat on a large hill looking over the lake, he and his father would stargaze. He just sat there taking in the surroundings, there were no places
like this in New York.
He watched as a girl approached the edge of the lake. She sat down and reached into her bag, she began to unwrap something and started to eat it.
When she was done she opened a tiny container. Then, for some reason, she stuck her hand into the lake. Next thing he knew, the girl had
disappeared into the dark depths of the lake.
It took Roger a minute to realize what had just happened, but when it do sink in he jumped to his feet and began to run down the hill. He took off
his shoe and jumped into the lake. The girl hands were jerking in different directions. He noticed that her foot was stuck to the floor of the lake. Roger
tried to help her, but she wouldn't stop moving. Finally, her body got limp and began to sink to the bottom of the lake. Roger began to unlatch her foot
from where it was stuck and finally broke her free. He grabbed the girls body and began to swim to the surface. As he finally touched land
Roger laid the girls body down and began to pump the water out of her tiny body. Se coughed, gasped, coughed again and finally opened her eyes.
She starred up at Roger in Bewilderment. Roger noticing her stare said, "Hi, you just sunk in a lake. " Darn it, Roger was never good with
first impressions. The girl apparently thought it was funny, she gave a strained laugh. "I'm Roger." he tried again. The girl sat up and weakly
said,"They call me.... They call me... Mimi."
Okay What did you think? Please Please Please Review! I will give you all Kinder Eggs!
