I squared my shoulders and put on a straight face. But I couldn't hold it in. I giggled. Then I laughed. Then he started talking, saying...
"Hello, Leonardo."

Leo's POV
I waited for Lieutenant Ryan to tell me why I was here, giggling all the while. He watched me with cold, dark brown eyes, studying me. I heard giggling join mine. But Lieutenant Ryan didn't. I looked behind Ryan and saw my baby brother Mikey, looking at me with his Cheshire grin.
I grinned back. Ryan followed my gaze, looking behind him to see nothing. He shook his head and rolled his eyes, noting my "schizophrenia" was acting up. "Leonardo," I tensed as I heard my name, but kept my large grin, "You are being transported to another facility. You have one week. Now, go back to your cell," Ryan ordered, turning and walking to his desk.
For the first time in a long time, I was sane as I heard what he said to me. Why was I being transfered? And where was I being transfered to? I frowned, walking back frustratedly to my cell because I don't have answers to questions I need answered.
I watched around me as everyone stopped what they were doing and rushed to their cells as soon as they laid their eyes on me. I giggled, my mood alternating. I'm not that scary. I hummed and skipped to my cell. "Mikey!" I yelled happily when I saw my baby brother sitting on my bed. His astral projection made me giggle. He still looks so young.
"Hi, Leo!" Mikey chirped. I walked up and sat next to him, grinning as I saw his Cheshire grin. "So, where ya moving to?" Mikey asked me. I shrugged nonchalantly. I had no idea. I figured he did. Mikey seemed to space out, then came back to "reality". "Sorry, Leo. Gotta jet. I'm needed with my handsomeness somewheres along the seven seas," Mikey giggled. I giggled with him, giving him one last wave goodbye as he disappeared.
My mind went back to the talk with the Lieutenant. I can't believe he's moving me. Transferring me to a new place with new people and new surroundings. I've been here for as long as I can remember, and he decides to transfer me!
I growled with a grin, tears streaming down my cheeks. I'll just have to play with others then. Instead of scaring off people here, I'll just be scaring people there. I jumped as a guard walked in, terrified to see my grin and tears. "Y-You have a visitor," the guard stammered. I lost my grin almost immediately. Since when do I have visitors? Not even my own parents visit me.
With the most confused face you'd probably ever see on a person, I stood up from my bed, cleared my face of the tears, and walked to the visitors domain, people scrambling away and into their cells to avoid me, incase i have a fit. I giggled. Well, let's see who came to visit little ole me. I opened the door and stopped dead in my tracks. My eyes watered and I had the biggest smile on my face. My old friend. He came to visit me? He remembers me? I ran up to him and embraced him in a tight hug, laughing with my tears flowing freely.
I felt his arms wrap around me, returning the hug. I looked up at him with a smile, seeing his emerald green eyes shining. I laid my head on his chest, whispering the one name I never forgot.
"Raphie..."
