WHAAAAAAT? That's some bullsh*t! Sorry felt like quoting ma sister for a sec. Well, here goes another chapter.I'm actually suprised, this is one of my most popular stories.

Disclaimer- I OWN NOTHING!

A young girl, about ten years old, with shoulder length brown hair that covered one of her eyes ran laughing through a field of tall green grass. "You can't catch me Jet!" A boy with spiked-back orange hair chased after her. " Watch me Katey!" He pushed his feet faster after his friend. Being one year older than her didn't give him much of an advantage. Soon he was almost an arm's length from her. "Watch out Katey! I'm gonna get ya!" Katey sqealled with child-like laughter. Suddenly, Jet's eyes caught a distortion in the ground and jerked to a halt. "Katey! Watch out!" The girl turned to look at her friend, still running. "What-?" The ground suddenly crumbled from under her and she tumbled down into a ravine. Her scream echoed against the steep walls of that surrounded her. Shallow water splashed up as she landed in a small stream. She tried to stand up from where she landed, only to be met with an agonizing pain in her ankle. "Jet! Help!" Jet ran over to the side of the ravine, careful not to fall in as well. "Katey! Are you okay?" Katey shook her head as tears poured down her cheeks. "N-no! My a-ankle h-h-hurts!"

The orange haired boy looked around wildly for something to help his friend. Seeing nothing, he decided to climb down and see if there was something in the ravine. Slowly, Jet climbed down the muddy wall, smearing his t-shirt and shorts with dirt and down , his foot slipped out from under him and he slid down the wall and splashed into the shallow water next to his friend. Katey sat, holding her ankle. Her white sundress was soaked and covered in mud, dirt, and grass. Jet looked around, seeing if there was a way to get out without having to climb the wall again. He also noticed the sun starting to set. They needed to get out of there fast.

A few yards down there was an incline that was low enough to walk up. Walking over to his friend, his face full of concern, he wondered how to help her up. "Can you stand up?" Katey shook her head again, trying to hold back her tears. Jet thought of another way to get out of the ravine, but it would be tricky. "Climb on my back. I'll carry you out." Katey waited as he turned and lowered himself, then climbed onto his back. Jet stood up andput his hands under her knees to balance her. "Hold on." He splashed throught the water and up to the incline. Slowly the two friends accended to the top and back onto the grass. Jet continued to carry Katey all the way back to her house.

The small traditional japanese-style house was about a mile from the field the two had been playing in, tucked cosily into a small wooded area. Katey's mother was standing on the porch when the two children walked up. "Katey? Jet? What happend?" She ran down and lifted Katey off of Jet's back. Katey tried to answer, but her tears mumbled her words. Jet answered for her. "She fell into the ravine out in Oakland Field, Mrs. Shimamura. I think she hurt her ankle." The woman nodded. "But why are you all dirty Jet?" Katey held her tears back. "H-he climbed down and helped me mom." The elder woman smiled. "Thank you Jet. Now why don't you come inside and we'll get you both cleaned up?" The three walked into the house and began to clean themselved up.

After they were clean and wearing fresh clothes, Mrs. Shimamura wrapped Katey's ankle and the two children sat in the living room. Both of them had bandages on their faces. "Thank you Jet-kun." Jet looked up from messing with the bandeges on his hands. "For what?" Katey smiled. "For saving me." Jet looked away in embarasment. "It was nothing." Katey reached across the couch and gave her friend a hug. "You keep telling yourself that." The two friends talked for a while before falling asleep.

A few days later Katey woke up like usual and went down the hall for breakfast. Sliding open the screen door, the young Shimamura smiled as she greated her parents." Ohayo!" Her parents turned to look at her with solom expressions. Katey's smile dropped from her face. "What's wrong." Her father simply stared at his food, not wanting to be the bearer of bad news. Her mother took a shakey breath and stood up. "Katey, something dreadful has happened." Katey's heart sped up. "What?" Her mother heistated. "Jet...Jet's gone missing." Katey's heart skipped a beat. "...what? Missing?...I don't understand." the elder woman walked over to her daughter. "His parent's can't find him. No one can. He's been missing for two days." Katey stared at the floor. How was that possible? She had talked to him only two days ago. Where could he be? He was her best friend, he could leave her. Her parents grew uneasy at her silence. Without thinking, Katey dashed toward the front door and pulled her shoes on. The shouts from her parents went unnoticed as she bolted from the house and down the road that lead to Oakland Field.

Katey looked around wildly, trying to find some indication that her friend was or had been there. Tears threatened to spill down her cheeks. "Jet!...JET!" She ran wildly screaming his name.

After a while her voice grew hoarse and her legs, tired. She flopped to the ground panting and crying. Her heart was shattered at the loss of her best and only friend. He was so kind to her, what had he done to deserve this? The slight twinge in her ankle reminded her of his bravery a few days spent the rest of the day sitting in the same spot.

When the sun began to set, Katey picked herself up and trudged toward home. Her eyes were dry and she had no more tears left. She tried to think of something to say to her parents to apologise for running out of the house. When she walked up to the front door, she noticed it was open. That was never a good sign. Her mother was always yelling at her to close the door behind her.

She pushed it the rest of the way open. "Mom? Dad?" Her voice cracked and weezed, still hoarse from her yelling. A crash sounded from the dining room along with shouts. Katey ran through the house and slamed open the door to the dining room.

The scene before her made her face pale and her blood run cold. In the corner, her father laid on his front, unmoving, in a puddle of red. In the center of the room, the dining table had been flipped over and a man with sunglasses and a black suit was holding a gun pointed at her mother. The man looked at Katey and smirked. "Well, I guess you don't need to tell us where she is anymore." Mrs. Shimamura looked at her daughter, tears rolling down her face. "Run Katey! RUN!" The man jabbed her in the back with the gun. "Shut up! Now little girl, why don't you come with me and my friends. There is someone who wants to meet you." Two other men dress like the first stepped from the shadows of the room. Katey stood frozen in fear. Her mother shook and she sobbed. "Katey, run! Run right now and don't look back!" The first man with the gun sneered. "I thought I told you to shut up! Now you're gonna join your hubby." He cocked the gun and Kateys mom shot forward. "RUN KATEY-" The man pulled the trigger and bang resonated through the room. Katey's mother fell to the ground and was still. Katey's voice suddenly rushed back at full force and she released a high-pitched shriek. The three men flinched and the man with the gun yelled at the others. "Grab her before someone hears!" The two men ran at her, but Katey bolted from the room and out the front door.

She screammed the whole time.

Turning down the familiar road to the field, Katey turned and saw the two men gaining. She ran through the grass, trying despratly to get away. Suddenly, a blunt object conected with a back of her head and she fell forward. The last thing she felt was the cool grass on her face and the pain in her head.

" When I woke up, I was lying in a room with bright lights. The scientist told me that i would be put through special training. They never told what it was for, just that I had to do it. When I turned seventeen, they said I was ready and turned me into a Cyborg." The room was silent as Katey finished her story. Joe looked down at the table. " Your own parents were killed right in front of you..." Katey nodded sadly. Françoise was on the verge of tears. "So you and Jet have known each other since you were little?" Katey nodded. "When I learned that he had been turned into a cyborg as well, I was both extreamly happy and tremendously horrified." Dr. Gilmore stood up." I think that's enough for one day. I think we could all go for some sleep, eh?" Sevral of the teens let out yawns. Dr. Glimore chuckled. "I'll take that as a yes. Well, good night to you all. Lights out by twelve." The teens groaned in irritation but complied and began to clean the room up.

As the two groups were walking out, Joe stayed back with Katey. Katey looked at him in confusion. Joe gave her a smile and held his arms out. "You look like you could use a hug." Katey smiled a sad smile and returned his gesture, tears threatening the corners of her eyes. Joes patted her back as they left. "Just remember that you're not alone."

Katey went to bed that night feeling better than she had in a while.
