I don't own any of the characters in this story.
Gwen ran away from her home and toward the many sets and studios her father had control over. She was amazed by all of it. Everyone greeted her with waves and warm smiles as she walked by.
Gwen looked around and saw the same squirrel that had passed her earlier. The squirrel darted away as Gwen began to chase after it.
"Hey. Come on." Gwen said, trying to run as fast as her little legs could. "I just want to play." Unknown to Gwen, as she ran after the squirrel, she was running farther away from the sets, and toward the big city, where there were tough gangs and scary alleys.
The squirrel ran on top of a rock and stood there. Gwen looked at it, like a lion catching its prey, and jumped onto the rock. The squirrel jumped off the rock and ran up a big tree.
Gwen sighed, then turned her head to see the view of the big city. "Whoa. Cool." Gwen said. Just below the rock was a small pond, with lillipads and frogs. "I wonder what's out there." Gwen said to herself, still looking at the view of the city.
Suddenly, she heard rustling and the sound of footsteps coming toward her. Gwen turned around to see two surprising faces behind her, Owen and Noah. Gwen screamed while the two boys also screamed. Trying to step away from them, Gwen slipped off the rock and into the pond.
"Don't worry, Gwen! Uncle Owen's coming!" Owen yelled, as he jumped off the rock and into the pond.
Noah looked down, then started a conversation between himself and Trent. "Gee, Trent, the good news is we found your daughter. The bad news is we dropped a fat guy on her. Is there a problem?"
Owen, who was sitting up in the shallow water, looked around. "Gwen? Gwen?"
"Owen!" Noah shouted, grabbing Owen's attention. "Let me define babysitting!"
Realizing what he meant, Owen quickly stood up, with Gwen coming up, gasping for air. Gwen sputtered and glared at Owen. "Sorry." Owen said, sheepishly.
Gwen walked out of the pond, trying to dry herself off. "Now, Gwen, you know better than to go off all alone. You might've been hurt."
Noah jumped off the rock and ran toward the little girl. He leaned down to her, and asked, "You're not hurt, are ya? Trent would kill us if something happened to you." Noah said, inspecting just about every visible body part on Gwen's body.
Gwen glared at him, and said, full of annoyance, "Noah."
"Now let's try to get you out of the shade." Noah said, grabbing out a random umbrella and holding it above Gwen. Gwen glared at Noah once more, then grabbed the umbrella and threw it in the mucky pond. "What? Do you want a wrinkle?" Noah asked.
"Would someone please just listen to me?" Gwen asked, frustrated.
Noah cleaned his ear with his index finger, and said, "Sorry. I wasn't listening. Did you say something, Princess?"
Gwen made a disgusted face. "Don't call me that. Besides, I'm not a princess, I'm a famous daughter. And even if you were going to direct me with that name, being famous is only half of who I am."
Owen looked confused and looked at Gwen. "Then, what's the other half?"
Gwen turned away and tried to think of something, but couldn't. Suddenly, Gwen's stomach growled.
"Looks like you're hungry." Noah said, pointing out the obvious.
Gwen looked embarrassed while holding her stomach. "I guess I was too excited about exploring I forgot about breakfast."
Owen looked at Gwen and said, "No problem. I have just the thing for you." Owen fished in his pocket and brought out a sandwich. At least, it looked like a sandwich, but it also looked like it had green frosting with hair on top of it.
Gwen looked at it, then realized quickly that it wasn't frosting. She winced, while trying not to puke. "Ew! Gross!" She yelled, looking away from the moldy sandwich.
"No? Oh well. More for me." Owen dropped the sandwich in his mouth and ate it.
Noah stared at him, then said, "Gross. Why would you eat that? It's already gone bad." Owen looked at him.
"No it hasn't. It was still good." Owen said.
Noah glared at him. "Yes, it has gone bad." Owen glared at Noah, starting to get frustrated.
"No it hasn't."
"Yes, it has."
"No, it hasn't"
"Yes, it has."
Gwen noticed that they weren't going to stop fighting until the other admitted that the other was right. Like that was going to happen. Seeing that it was her only chance, Gwen smiled and slowly, walked away from the two men, who were still fighting.
Gwen continued to walk toward the city. Gwen turned her head to see a graveyard close by, and decided that it was going to be a shortcut. Gwen walked into the graveyard, amazed that there were dead people there.
Suddenly, Gwen tripped on a rock and bumped, roughly, into a boy, her age, who had long black hair, and was wearing a skull t-shirt, causing both of them to fall on the ground.
That's all I'm going to write for tonight. It wasn't very long, but the next chapter will be even longer. A whole 10 words! No, it'll probably be longer than that. Anyways, hoped you enjoyed the chapter, and please review!
