Author's Note: So I've been rereading my own fics to see if it I did anything stupid and I realized that my intro and the first couple of chapters weren't very...interesting or kinda corny? How about not very well written? Something along those lines. But I can guarantee it does get more interesting from here on.


"Today is going to be special."

Yellow squinted her eyes and furrowed her brows as a voice rang inside her head.

It's that voice again.

No matter how many times she heard it, she couldn't figure out who it was or what it meant. The more she heard it the more her certainty began to arise. She knew without a doubt now that something would occur later, but what, she had no clue. It also bugged her that she didn't know why she knew in the first place.

She continued down the street and came upon the cross walk. Yellow was asked to buy a few things for the party later. Everyone else had their own errands to run, but Yellow didn't mind. She felt like she needed a breather, some time to clear her head, but it didn't seem to be working for her either.

This bad vibe I'm getting, just what is going on?

There was a nagging feeling in her head and suddenly she felt a jolt.

"Watch out!"

Yellow looked up in shock. She was standing right in the center of the street during a red light, but the car in front of her didn't seem to be stopping. Her mind began to scream at her legs to start, but they wouldn't budge. Her knees suddenly gave in under pressure and fear as the car sped ever closer towards her weakened form.

Images began to rush through her mind. There was a car driving towards her, but suddenly there was a bang, like the sound of a crash. Another flash, flames and smoke clouded her mind.

"No! Stop!" she cried as she clenched her eyes.

She heard the screech in front of her and opened her eyes to see the car swerve just a split second before it could collide into her. The car crashed into a pole on the corner of the street.

"Are you alright?" someone shouted. She looked up to see black bangs covering the right side of his face and carrying a skateboard. Running towards them was a girl and another boy. Yellow stood up shakily and let out her breath that she didn't notice she held. The black haired boy was Gold. Yellow turned to the newcomers and identified them as Sapphire and Ruby. They had fear written all over their face.

"Yellow are you hurt?" asked Ruby with concern. Yellow slowly nodded still trying to piece everything together.

"I'm fine" she replied.

Sapphire looked at her with tears threatening to fall. She threw her arms around Yellows neck and hugged her. Yellow could hear the younger girl sniffle. "I'm glad you're safe!" and she tightened her embrace.

"That car looks totaled, I hope the driver's okay. I'm gonna go check it out," told Gold. He ran over to the crowd forming around the car.

"Let us help you," said Ruby. Yellow nodded shakily reaching out for his hand. She had no injuries but was still in a state of shock.

Slowly she walked over to the Gold with the help of Ruby and Sapphire. Gold turned to look at them. He had just finished a conversation with another witness and confirmed the results of the incident.

"They said that the man isn't seriously injured, just a few scratches. It's a miracle he survived."

"How's that possible?" exclaimed Sapphire. "The damage on the car shows that he should have a concussion at least!"

"I don't know but it gets even weirder. Yellow was able to avoid a collision because the tire on the left side popped, but if you look even closer upon inspection, it's as if some force actually ripped it apart."

"This doesn't make any sense. There's no way something like that could happen, just what the heck is going on?" Ruby closed his eyes and tried to find a logical explanation, but everything seemed too perplex for even him to handle.

Yellow couldn't believe what was going on either. Her mind scrambled all over trying to reason things out, but could not come to any conclusion. She felt her head throb again.

"I'm glad you're safe…I don't know what I would have done…if…if you-"

"Nghh!" Yellow clutched her head. Pain spread throughout her head like fire.

"Yellow!" they gasped.

Her vision began to blur as her head surged in pain.

"I'll call for an ambulance!"

"We don't have time!"

Her head started to spin and voices sounded distant. She could tell they were panicking and shouting, but nothing seemed to reach her anymore.

"I'm sorry Yellow…"

She felt hot tears spill down her cheeks. She wanted to cry out, to shout "Don't leave me!" but to who and why? She stretched out one of her arms as if trying to grasp something or someone. Her head continued to ache in pain, but even more so in her heart. Her senses dulled and soon came nothingness.

"Goodbye…"


Yellow's eyes flutter open and was puzzled by the unfamiliar setting, a white room with a few machines and a bed. Seconds later, she realized she was in a hospital.

"How did I get here?" She asked herself while trying to recollect the events but her mind was still foggy. She heard a sigh come from beside her. She turned to find a brunette with spiky hair and green eyes glare at her sending chills through spine.

Oops, I didn't notice he was there.

"You have got to be kidding," said the man while folding his arms. If she didn't know him better she would say he was irritated, but she knew him better. This man was down right furious despite his calm composure. She knew because the white room was being consumed by a black aura. Yellow sweat dropped and waved her arms frantically.

"Ah, just kidding Green! I'm sorry, I momentarily forgot that's all, hehehe."

Did I just make him angrier?

She felt a slight vibration causing her to look around and see if she were just imagining things. The cup of water beside her was definitely shaking. She heard another sigh and looked back at Green.

"You," he said "are really troublesome," while doing a face palm.

He said it with a matter of fact tone which implied he was being serious.

Yellow frowned. Is this what he thinks of me?

"Hey, I didn't do it on purpose. I mean do you really think I'd walk in front of a car like that?"

Green looked at her and sighed once more.

"Go to sleep. The doctor says you need to rest. Seems like your mind has been stressing and it exhausted your body and when you panicked during the incident, it sent you over the edge and you collapsed. I'll leave."

"Wait!"

Yellow reached out and grabbed his hand almost instantly.

What am I doing?

She blinked, confused. Her heart beat like crazy and her face grew red. Her action not only shocked Green but confused him. He turned to face her and noticed her own shock.

Say something!

"I-I want umm, can you…" She gulped, "Stay with me, please?"

What?

"I don't want to be alone right now." She gripped his hand tightly in hers.

Please don't be mad…

Green studied her under his watchful gaze. Her hands were cold and clammy, but she wasn't sick. Her face was hot and red, but she looked as if she could cry at any moment. She was scared.

Before he could reply there was a knock on the door and Gold entered.

"Hey Green, how is -"

Momentary silence.

"Sorry for interrupting, I'll –"

"It's not what you think!" they both exclaimed and let go.

"Uh, is that so? Then umm, here Yellow, I got this for you." Gold handed a bag of snacks over to Yellow.

"Thanks."

Awkward silence.

"I called Silver to tell the others what happened. He says Blue is going hysterical, but he and Red managed to calm her down. She's waiting to hear from you," informed Gold.

"I see. I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused."

"Forget it. There's nothing to apologize for. It's a good thing you came out safely."

Yellow nodded.

"Oh right, I think we're cancelling the party today. We can wait until you feel better," Gold shrugged his shoulders.

"There's no need! We went through a lot of trouble for this day, I don't want to ruin it," Yellow proclaimed.

"But you're-"

"I'm fine, really. I've been looking forward to this day so please don't stop this because of me."

She pleaded. She had that puppy dog eyes that no one could resist, not that she knew.

Green sighed.

"I'll call Blue and tell her you're fine and to continue things over there."

"Yeah, you look pretty healthy to me. Let's rock this party tonight!" added Gold.

Yellow's face lit up and she grabbed their hands and squeezed it.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Blush. Green and Gold felt their cheeks heat up.

They hear a knock on the door and in comes Ruby and Sapphire.

"Hey, how's –"

Momentary silence.

"Sorry for disturb –"

"It's not what you think!" The three exclaimed and let go.

"Uhh, okay. How are you feeling Yellow?" asked Ruby.

"I'm great!" she replied. A tint of red was still visible on her cheeks from her embarrassing actions.

"That's good to hear. Anyways, we just talk to the nurse. She says you're free to leave anytime you're ready."

"That's great, I can't wait to get back. We will continue the party later, I'm not going to accept any "No's."

"Haha, you're so energetic. I'm glad we hired someone like you. We originally planned to help you with the decorations. That's why we were in town." Said Ruby.

"I was just dropping by for some snacks," said Gold.

"If that's all, let's get going. We'll go down to get you checked out. Get ready by the time we get back."

"Umm, I'll stay with Yellow," said Sapphire. They looked at her for a second, but nodded and left.

Sapphire turned her attention to Yellow and vice versa.

"I'm really glad you're okay." Sapphire spoke softly. She was usually very energetic and could get pretty wild and feisty, but this was a side of her Yellow had never seen. She felt touched.

Yellow smiled.

"I'm perfectly fine, see? No bruises or scratches. I'm sorry I worried you so much." Yellow blushed "I'm actually happy though, that you care so much."

Sapphire blushed.

"Ah, well…back when I was a kid, I was really delicate you know? Ruby always protected me…"

"Did something happen?" asked Yellow.

"Have you seen him without his beanie/hat?"

Yellow shook her head.

"It was all my fault."

Yellow looked at her painful expression and felt a familiar feeling.

"I just...don't want anything like that to happen again, especially if it happens right in front of me."

Huh? Why does it feel so painful?

"I'm sure he doesn't blame you, I mean, he's always by your side."

"To protect me."

"No way, there's definitely a much deeper reason for him staying by your side to this day! I can tell."

Sapphire looked at Yellow. She saw that her face held determination. She gave an 'I-never-tell-lies'

impression that comforted her troubles.

"I'm happy I talked to you," she said brightly and smiled.

Like deja vu.

Yellow smiled. "Well I have to get ready before the guys get back."

Later, they heard knocking and in came the guys.

"We need to get back and finish the decorations. Ruby, Sapphire you have the stuff right?"

"Yeah."

"Let's go. We'll take my car. It's faster if we all go together," said Green.

Yellow froze.

"Yellow is something wrong?" asked Sapphire.

Yellow began to fidget in her spot.

"I…don't want to."

They looked at her puzzled.

"I'm scared."

"Of what?" asked Ruby.

"Cars..." she spoke softly.

Green crossed his arms. "You should be afraid of walking alone."

"I-I know, but…I'm sorry Green, I can't." She was afraid, maybe even traumatized.

She looked at him to see if he was mad, but when she saw him she couldn't tell at all. He looked at her and she felt goose bumps on her skin. She couldn't read his expression.

"I'll walk her back." They turned their attention to the skateboarder.

"It's okay as long as she isn't alone right? I'll be there to protect her, how's that?"

"Gold…" whispered Yellow.

"It'll be okay. I'm with you," reassured Gold.

"…Fine. Do what you want, but you two better not cause anymore trouble." Green's words sounded harsh and he didn't even look them in the eyes.

"We're wasting time. Ruby, Sapphire let's go."

His words stung Yellow. He left the room without looking back. Ruby and Sapphire followed after him.

Even though I asked you to stay with me…

"We'll see you later."

"Get back safely."

I'm being so selfish. I'm sorry.

"Hey let's get going, don't want to be late now do we?"

"Huh? Oh...yeah, we should hurry."


They walked in silence for a couple of minutes, but Gold finally broke the ice.

"Hey Yellow are you alright?"

"What? I mean, yes I'm fine."

"That's not what your mood is telling me. Plus you look a little bummed out and distracted. Wanna talk about it?"

"…."

"It's Green right?"

She turned to Gold with a surprised look. He began to laugh.

"How did you know?" she ingquired.

"You're really obvious, Yellow. I can tell by just looking at you and so can everyone else."

"Oh…I see, I'll keep that in mind…Do you think he's mad at me?"

He smiled at her.

"Don't take what he said so seriously, I'm sure he's really just worried about you. Besides, that's just the way he talks. He comes off as harsh, but I'm sure that he said it with good intentions."

"Sure doesn't sound like it." She sighed.

"If you really want to know, just ask him and talk about it."

"You're right. I'll ask him later. Also...but…"

"Go on."

"I woke up in the hospital, but I don't remember how I got there. Plus, Green was in there too! I was surprised to see him. I'm sure he's really busy, but he really came and I worried Blue, too. Sapphire as well, you all… I'm really troublesome aren't I…"

"You need to stop thinking like that. He came because he was worried. We called everyone and he was the first to come see you and I'm sure everyone wanted to be there too."

"But –"

"No buts, Yellow. We care about you so it's only natural that we would want to be by your side. Heck, I risked my back for you!"

"What do you mean?"

"When you passed out, I carried you on my back to the hospital. We didn't wait for an ambulance, plus, it's not too far from where we were so it wasn't much trouble at all."

"Gosh, Gold I'm really sorry for making you carry me."

"Don't apologize. This is where you thank me and fall in love with your Knight in Shining armor."

"…"

"That was a joke."

"Thanks. For more than you know."

Gold looked at her with confusion.

"Huh?"

Flashback

"You always do that."

"Do what?"

"Say 'Thanks' or 'Thank you'."

Yellow locked gazes with him again and smiled. "Because I'm really grateful to you. After I lost my parents, I didn't have anyone or at least that's what I thought. There were only a few people who really cared about me. That's why, if I have the chance, I want to be able to show people how much I appreciate them."

End of Flashback

"I've been so stressed lately that I kept depressing myself. I almost lost sight of me…I think I know why Green's acting the way he is."

"Welcome back Yellow." Gold grins at her and then ruffles her hair causing her to jump a little from shock.

"Anyways, there are other things I'm more concerned about," said Gold.

"Like what?" asked Yellow.

"We need to hurry back or Blue might just go nuts," he concluded.

Yellow looked up to see that the sun would soon set. They hadn't finished the decorations or prepared the food yet.

"You're right, let's hurry back!"

"Yeah, oh and one more thing," he added.

"What is it?"

"What size are you?"

"What?"

"You know, your chest. You're not as flat as I thought."

"!"


Green drives with Ruby in the passenger seat and Sapphire in the back with the supplies. There is an overwhelming silence between them. Sapphire looks at Ruby and nods.

"Hey Green, you shouldn't worry about her so much. She'll be alright, I mean after what just happened I'm sure she's more alert." She insisted.

"Sapphire's right, you should trust her more," added Ruby.

"I do." Green stated.

Ruby looks at Sapphire with a puzzled look and in turn she did the same.

"Wait, if you trust her, what's the problem?" Sapphire asked.

"…"

"…"

"…It's the person I'm entrusting her to…"

"Eh? You mean Gold? What can he possibly do? I mean he's a bit careless and lax at times, but he's reliable."

"Yeah, what Ruby said. He's a nice guy except for the fact that he…" The two trailed off into their thoughts.

They looked at each other as if something finally clicked. Their faces paled a little and worry began to overtake.

"…Ah, I'm sure they'll be fine…he wouldn't…" trailed off Ruby.

"Uh, right! I'm sure he also has his limits…." continued Sappire.

At that moment, the atmosphere suddenly darkened and a heavy feeling doused them.

What the hell did we just do?

This sure didn't make Green feel any better. None of them for that matter.


I haven't updated in a while, sorry. Anyways, what do you think? Am I rushing things or taking things too slow? Opinions and suggestions are appreciated. Also it might get a little jumpy, I've never really been good at transitions. I really want to go into the story more, but I can't right now because I don't really have the time. I'm also planning to write more stories because I'm so into it right now so tell me what you think and I'll try to get them up faster ^^. For more story descriptions, check out my profile.
