A boy was running with a loaf of bread in his hand. He had light brown spiky hair, beautiful cobalt blue eyes, black drive clothes, and large yellow and black shoes. His name was Sora. A guard was currently chasing him. His name was Jorgen van Strangle.

"Stop, thief!" He shouted at Sora. Sora stopped where he was going, not because he told him to, but because he would have fallen off the building he was on.

"I'll have your hands for a trophy street rat!" Jorgen declared. "All this for a loaf of bread?" Sora asked himself. He then jumped off the building with the bread still in his hand, almost running into Alice's window, who shut the door quickly. After crashing through clothes lines and other various objects, he landed on the ground with a thud. The bread landed in his hands again. Sora smiled with satisfaction.

"There he is!" Jorgen shouted. "You won't get away so easily!" "You think that was easy?" Sora teased. He turned around and spotted Zoey, Wanda, and Aurora laughing at his predicament. Sora smiled sheepishly before he saw Jorgen planning with other guards.

"You two, go that way. And you follow me. We'll find him." Sora quickly zipped over to Zoey, Wanda, and Aurora. "Morning ladies." He greeted.

Wanda smiled at him. "Getting in trouble a little early today, aren't we, Sora?" She said.

"Trouble? No way." Sora said confidently. "You're only in trouble when you're captured." Jorgen suddenly grabbed him. "Gotcha!" "I'm in trouble."

"This time-," Someone picked up Jorgen's crown and stuck it on his head. The creature was a mouse with a hat, a sword, and a sword carrier. His name was Reepicheep.

"Hey Sora, I see you need help." He said. "Perfect timing Reepicheep, as usual." Sora approved, smiling. Jorgen looked up at Reepicheep with a confused look on his face.

"You're a mouse." He said, puzzled. "You people have no imagination." Reepicheep retorted flatly. "Come on let's get out of here." Sora and Reepicheep started to run off. A guard got in their way.

Sora: Gotta keep one jump ahead of the bread line. One swing ahead of the sword.

As he sang, he was dodging the guard's attacks, and Reepicheep blew him a raspberry. Sora took the belt off the guard's pants. The guard used a fish as pants instead.

Sora: I steal only what I can't afford.

Sora stopped for a second and said "That's everything!" before running again. Yet another guard stood in front of him.

Sora: One jump ahead of the lawmen. That's all, and there's no joke.

He dodged a blow to the sword, barely. He then jumped on top of a building and kicked barrels full of orange soda on the guards.

Sora: These guys don't appreciate I'm broke!

The guards glared at the boy. Some threw various objects at him.

Guards: Riff raff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Take that!

Sora: Just a little snack guys.

The guards didn't seem to approve as they threw various swords at him. Of course he dodged it. They started to shake the (I don't know what it's called) as an attempt to get him off.

Guards: Rip him open. Take it back guys!

Sora jumped off and Reepicheep was there to catch him.

Sora: I can take a hint, gotta face the facts,

Sora grabbed onto Reepicheep's sword as he tossed him in someone's window.

Sora: You're one of my only friends Reepicheep.

A bunch of girls were inside the house. They were Don, May, and Misty. They joined in the song.

Girls: Who? Oh it's sad, Sora's hit the bottom. He's become a one man rise in crime.

Misty pushed Sora into another woman known as Ursula. She glared at him.

Ursula: I blame parents accept he hasn't got 'em.

Sora zipped past the girls.

Sora: Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat, tell you all about it when I got the time.

Don smiled playfully and pushed him out the window. Later Sora was hiding behind Kronk, who was showing off his muscles.

Sora: One jump ahead of the slow pokes. One skip ahead of my doom.

Kronk moved out of the way to reveal Sora and Reepicheep. They quickly backed away.

Sora: Next time gonna use a nom de plume.

Sora was then hopping on a bunch of Mareep, still trying to escape the guards. The guards were just throwing them out of the way.

Sora: One jump ahead of the hitmen. One hit ahead of the flock. I think I'll take a stroll around the block.

Sora casually strolled around the block, until the guards came close to him and he started running. Along the way they jumped over someone sleeping on a bed of nails. One of the guards landed on the poor guy.

Reepicheep was wearing a bunch of jewels, most likely stolen.

Guards: Stop thief! Vandal!

"Reepicheep!" Sora scolded. Toph suddenly came up.

Toph: Scandal!

Sora was backed up into a door.

Sora: Let's not be too hasty.

A woman suddenly came out and picked him up.

Woman: Still I think he's rather tasty.

Sora rolled out of her arms and leaned against one of the guard's shoulders.

Sora: Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat, otherwise we'd get along.

Guards: Wrong!

The guards toppled on top of Sora, who seemingly disappeared to under a pot with Reepicheep in a smaller pot. "Get them!" One of the guards pointed at the pots. Sora and Reepicheep ditched them and hopped over a man standing on hot coal. The guards weren't so lucky as they ended up walking on them and burning their feet. Reepicheep suddenly got in front of them.

"He's got a sword!" One of the guards shouted fearfully. Jorgen got in front of them and drew out his own sword. "You idiots, we've all got swords!" The others drew out their swords as well. Reepicheep laughed nervously and caught up to Sora again. Sora soon saw that he was between two sides of guards. He spotted a rope and climbed it to another part of town and continued singing.

Sora: One jump ahead of the hoof beats.

Guards: Riff raff!

Sora: One hop ahead of the hump.

Guards: Street rat!

Sora: One trick ahead of disaster!

Guards: scoundrel!

Sora: Their quick, but I'm much faster!

Guards: Take that!

Sora: Here goes, better throw my hand in wish me happy landing, all I gotta do is jump!

Sora and Reepicheep jumped out a window with a carpet below them. The guards tried to catch them but ended up falling in Patrick's manure truck.

Back with Sora, he finally landed on the ground. He and Reepicheep high fived. "Fine work back there Sora." Reepicheep complimented. "Thanks! Today we feast." He gave half of the bread to Reepicheep. He almost took a bite, but then he looked straight and saw Fine and Rein looking for food.

Reepicheep glared at Sora. "Oh no, I know what you're thinking, but we got this food to ourselves!" He took a bite of his bread for emphasis. But the looks on Fine's and Rein's faces were too much for Sora. He sighed and approached them. "Here. Go on and take it." He put the bread in Rein's hand and pat Fine's shoulder.

Reepicheep looked guiltily at the two. He finally gave up and handed his half of the bread to Fine. She patted his head. "I know." He sighed. He caught up with Sora to see what he was looking at. Before him was a proud looking Prince who rode on a chocobo. His name was Seifer.

"On his way to the Palace I bet." Some random man said. "Another suitor for the Princess." Another random guy agreed. Suddenly Fine and Rein zipped forward and got in the way of Seifer.

"Out of my way you filthy twerps!" He was about to lash them with a whipper, but Sora got in the way. "Hey! If I was as rich as you, I would buy some manners." He through the whip back at Seifer. "I'll teach you some manners!" He pushed Sora and Reepicheep in the mud puddles, earning laughs from everyone.

Sora got a mischievous grin on his face. "Hey look Reepicheep! It's not everyday you see a chocobo with two rear ends." Seifer turned around and glared at him. "You are a worthless street rat. You were born a street rat, you'll die a street rat, and only your fleas and that rat will mourn you." Sora tried going in after him, but the palace doors closed on him.

"I'm not worthless, and reepicheep's a mouse, not a rat." He said to himself. "You tell them Sora!" Reepicheep cheered. Sora sighed resignedly. "Come on Reepicheep, let's go home, if that's what it's called.

Sora trudged onward to a deeper part of the town. He climbed a latter and came face to face to a kid with blond hair, a red sweatshirt, and looked to be about 13 years of age. His name was Ryan Syrus.

"Hey Sora!" Ryan greeted. "Hi Ryan." Sora returned with a sad look on his face.

"What brought you down? Is it because you returned home to see that I forgot to bring food?" Ryan asked. "Sora here is tired of being called a street rat." Reepicheep explained. "Oh come on buddy! What's wrong with stealing food and making guards look stupid?" Ryan asked.

"I just hate being made fun of because I'm a street rat." Sora said. Then he looked towards the Palace. "But someday guys, things are gonna change. We'll be rich, we'll live at the Palace, and we won't have any problems at all."
