Xion's Breakaway (Discontinued)

by Ouka-Noir

In the dream, I was at my old home in a town whose name I'd forgotten ages ago. The old house was almost soothing to me at first then I'd feel the heat from a hidden danger and feel it beginning to burn me againThe story of a young cat living her new life in an attempt to escape the past.

''I thought you already had a boyfriend.''

For about the fifth time, I let out a loud groan, and for the first time, slammed my head into the nearest wall which made a loud crashing sound. ''For the last time, I do, and before you even go there, he wasn't anyone special just a friend,'' I grumbled, straightening and pushing my hair back.

Aerith still didn't seem to believe me at all. ''Whatever, Kid.''

I watched her and flopped down at the chopping board. ''Remind me why I have to stay later than is needed?'' I grumbled.

Aerith watched me then tossed a rag at me. ''Because you were late and you said you wanted to take two hours off today, thus you owe me two or five hours of extra work because you were three hours late and needed two hours off.''

I watched her out of the corner of my eye then got an idea. ''What if I treat you to anything for a whole hour?''

Aerith stood there for a moment then glanced at me. ''Really? A whole hour?''

I nodded.

Aerith watched me, unconvinced, and smiled. ''Alright, but tomorrow you are going to treat me to an omelet and bacon right off the pan.''

''Deal.''

I sighed in relief then began to think about what had happened only a minute or so ago. Lightning had been so kind and, for some reason, understanding even though I had never actually talked about it to anyone and only thought about it as a dream.

I glanced at the clock and sighed again, grabbing my apron and hanging it on the rack before heading out the door.

It took much less time to run to my house and Dr. Quacks Office in only a few minutes. ''Hello, Xion, how are you doing?'' Nurse Mila asked as I sprinted past. I turned to look at her over my left shoulder and smiled. ''Fine, Mrs. Mila! I can't wait to see your baby!'' I hollered back to her.

Nurse Mila smiled and touched her large stomach. I couldn't help it; Mila was a very kind lady who nobody could hate. Dr. Quack was waiting at the entrance to his office when I turned the corner. ''Hello, Xion, seems you're as energetic as usual!'' he mused. I gain a stern look and nod to him.

''I need you to do something other than what I told you about over the phone,'' I admitted.

Dr. Quack seemed confused until I explained.
