Zonex: Yay! I'm here.

Hibisha: Yeah. You are.

Stryker: Hibisha doesn't own Inazuma Eleven. On with the story.

"Introducing the First Ones: Sandster"

"You know, if you let us get a job, then you'd have time to date all the red-headed girls you like," Rose said to him and ducked into her room before he could pick up the vase to throw it at her.

Sandster shook his head and went back to his work. He looked at the pile of bills he had already paid and the rent and every other thing. It was a good thing he was a vampire otherwise he would have kneeled down from exhaustion.

He tapped the desk with his pen. It wasn't fair. He was a high school student for Pete's sake! He hadn't even graduated yet! He sighed and put his head in his arms, closing his eyes and enjoying the coolness of the darkness that engulfed him. Who was he fooling? There was no way he could carry on this way.

He got up and headed out side to take a short walk. Putting on his coat, he hesitated before he picked up Rose's wooden knife and slipped it into his jacket's pocket. Just in case of an emergency.

"I'm leaving." he called out before stepping outside.

He walked towards the park which was situated nearby and sat down on a park bench. He stretched his arms lazily and glanced at his watch. Wow, Japan sure a weird country. It was only 10:00 pm and the park was nearly deserted. Suddenly a girl came and plopped herself next to him. He stiffened.

"Hi," she said, leaning down to re-tie the laces of her shoes, her purple hair falling over her face, "Do you mind if I sit here for a few minutes?" He shook his head. "No? Thanks buddy." He smiled.

"I'm Zonex," she said, "Zonex Krypton." His green eyes widened.

"Krypton?" he said incredulously, "As in the same Krypton who own the Krypton industries and is the super star?" She laughed.

"Yes." she said, her turquoise eyes shining. He shook his head.

"I don't believe it." he muttered. She giggled.

"It's alright," she said, "Not many people believe that I go to parks just like normal people do." He laughed at that one.

"I see," he said. She gave him a quick look over.

"So what's the deal with you?" she asked.

"Huh?"

"You looked like someone who has gone through a lot of pain and has a lot of burdens."

"Well, yeah. I kinda do have a lot of burdens."

"Why? You like you're only 18."

"Well, that's because I am 18." he said smiling, his green eyes twinkling. She blinked.

"So what's with the burdens?" she inquired. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Well, I'm trying to take care of two siblings but I'm failing miserably at that. Plus I have to work since we're orphans and now I'm tired."

"Well, don't they work?" she asked.

"I don't let them," he said. He turned to look at her and was surprised to see wide shining eyes which were so huge that they would have put Fidio Aldena to shame, tears at the corners and two oval shaped red spots on her cheeks. (A/N: I can't exactly describe what this chibi is like.) He inched a little away from her.

"Er-"

"I'll help you!" she said, "Here!" whipping out her cheque book, she scribbled something in it and paused. "Er-who should I make this to?"

"You don't have to do this." he said quickly, a blush spreading across his cheeks. She waved a hand.

"Nonsense. Consider it a gift. Now your name is?" she asked, smiling. He just sat there. She rolled her eyes and sighed.

"I didn't wanna do this but you leave me no choice" she said, before jumping on him. He yelped and the next few minutes were confusing for him. Somehow she ended up sitting on top of him as he was lying face-down on the grass. She had his wallet in her hands.

"Ah~here we go!" she said happily, pulling something out, "Your driver's license!" Sandster groaned. Oh God. She got up and handed him his wallet and patted his head before happily skipping away.

"Oh," she added, "If you don't take this, I will have to use extreme measures." He groaned as he sat up and stared at her retreating form. Then he glanced at his wallet and took out the cheque she had stuffed there. One million dollars. He choked.

"Hey! I can't ta-" he looked up and saw that she had vanished. He looked down at the cheque again just to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Two words formed inside his head.

Holy shit.

He got up and made his way back to the apartment, completely dazed. The nights events were totally scaring him now. First he ran into Zonex Krypton. Next she started to poke into his private life like she was his sister. Then she wrestled with him. Worse, she BEAT him at wrestling!

Then she gave him a cheque of one million dollars. ONE MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS! He entered the apartment and saw Rose and Big-D seated on the couch. They both jumped to their feet as he entered.

"Ok," Rose said, "Sandster there is no way you can keep us from working. We both talked it out and decided it would be best if got a job." He didn't answer. Instead he shook his head and sank in the couch. The other two goggled at him and raised their eye brows at each other.

"Sorry buddy," Big-D said, "But I am so getting a job. You can't stop me." Sandster shook his head again and then passed the cheque to him. Big-D just collapsed on the couch and silently passed it to Rose. She looked at both of them before looking at it. It slipped from her hands and fluttered to the floor.

"This is a joke right?" she whispered. Sandster shook his head. Big-D leaned back against the couch and sighed.

"We're rich." he said, stating the obvious. Rose got up suddenly.

"We can't keep this." she said, her eyes closed.

"WHY THE HELL NOT?" Big-D yelled. It was Sandster who replied.

"Because it's not ours." Big-D folded his arms.

"Ok, how the hell did you get this?" he demanded.

"From Zonex Krypton." Sandster replied weakly.

"Zonex Krypton? Ok, now I know this is a joke." Big-D said.

"It is not. I swear she gave it to me." Sandster replied, closing his eyes.

"Sandster," Rose said hesitantly, "Can you please tell us what happened?" He sighed and recounted his tale. When he finished, he looked up to see Rose and Big-D wearing similar expressions.

"What?" he demanded, looking from one to the other. Rose and Big-D looked at each other before they began to laugh like crazy.

"Let me get this straight," Big-D gasped out while Rose rolled on the floor in hysterics, "You, a vampire, a First One, wrestled a girl and lost?" Sandster stared at both of them dumbfounded. Then his cheeks coloured considerably.

"Are you telling me," he said, struggling to keep his voice calm, "That out of all that I told you, you guys paid attention to only that?" Rose got up, giggling.

"Well, Big-D has a point," she said, looking apologetic, "It is hilarious." Sandster got up suddenly. The other two shut up and immediately morphed their expressions such that one might expect it at someone's funeral. Sandster rolled his eyes.

"Anyways," he said, "Zonex said that if I didn't take this cash, she'd take extreme measures."

"What's more extreme than stealing your wallet and forcing you to take the cheque?" Rose wanted to know. Sandster shrugged.

"Beats me." he replied. Big-D snorted.

"I say we keep it. The lady obviously wants us to be happy. Let's not disappoint her." The other two rolled their eyes.

"Well," Rose said slowly, "I guess we could keep it." Big-D turned to look at Sandster, who just smiled and nodded. Big-D let hooted.

"Alright!" he exclaimed, "We have a million dollars!" Sandster just yawned.

"Well," he said, "I had enough excitement for one night. I'm hitting the sack. I'll pay the bank a visit tomorrow. This will definitely increase the money inside our bank account." Rose smiled.

"You know-" she began but was immediately cut off by the doorbell. All three of them looked at the door and then at each other.

Sandster frowned. This was not good. His vampire senses were not picking up anything. Not a scent, not a sound. He looked at the other two and realized that they were not getting anything as well. Big-D ran in the kitchen and came back holding a saucepan. Sandster rolled his eyes. Big-D was such a big baby! Not to mention stupid! They were vampires. If it was a burglar, he's the one who should be scared of them, not the other way round.

Rose made her way tentatively towards the door, and looked back at Sandster, gave a small nod before opening the door, crouched in attack position. There was no one outside, just a note tacked to the door. Rose ripped it off and read it quickly, her eyes widening with every word she read. Silently, she passed the note to Sandster. He quickly scanned the note.

Dear dude with the cute green eyes;

I followed you home just to see where you lived. While you were explaining things to your friends (yes I know you are not real siblings), I transferred one million dollars into your bank account (a lot can be done via the internet these days). Now you have two million, counting the one I gave you before. If you walk out of the building, you will see a black car with a green line on it. That is your new car. The keys are in the bushes next to it.

You might be wondering why I am giving you all this stuff. Well, you see, I have taken a liking to you. Consider me as your fairy god-mother. You might also be wondering how I got your access to your bank account. Well, all I can say is; ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies. You see, you remind me of a girl I used to know. She was forced to grow up too fast as well and she never got to enjoy her youth. She too had to take care of complete brats. I couldn't help her but you bet your booties I'll help you.

Other than that, I enrolled you and your friends in Raimon High. School starts in two weeks. You are exchange students from America. I have enrolled you as a senior and your two friends as juniors. How I found their names is also a question I wish you do not ask. Not that you can ask me as I will be very far way when you read this letter.

Hope you live a happy life. Enjoy it…..my friend couldn't.

~Zonex Krypton~

P.S: You should really go look at the car. It's yours. And no, this is not a joke.

Sandster looked at Rose. Big-D had been reading over his shoulder.

"Another million?" his face flushed. But Sandster was staring at the other words.

Your car.

He literally ran out of the building and stared across the street. Yup, there it was. The car that was now supposedly his. Rose whistled from behind him. He hadn't even realized that the other two were following him. He took a hesitant step towards his new car.

It was a black sports car with a single glowing green line on it. It was like the line you see on the ECG machine (the thing that shows the heartbeats.) It wasn't a horrendous neon green color either. It was a nice vibrant shade of jade green. On the hood of the car were his initials, a shiny silver plate embedded with the two letters.

How had she found the time to get his initials engraved if she was following me all the way here? How'd she even get the damned car here anyway?

Enough questions! Shut up! His brain screamed at him to forgo all logic and go and inspect his sweet new ride. He went and retrieved the keys from the bushes. He held them in his hand and looked at the other two.

"Road trip?" he asked a slow grin spreading across his face. They shook their heads.

"You go." Rose said, "It's your car."

"And besides," Big-D added, "We've had enough excitement for one day. And I think I'll do what Zonex TOLD us to do.…. I won't ask questions."

Sandster did not need any more encouragement. He slid behind the wheel and started the car; it purred like a kitten. Without anymore words, he drove off, enjoying the solitude.

For the first time in the last two years, he felt truly happy.

Hibisha: well?

Burn: *innocently* Well what? And how are you feeling?

Hibisha: Doctors say that I'll be out in a week.

Gazelle: Perfect. We'll get the knives ready.

Hibisha: Yeah-wait, WHAT?

Burn: Plz comment.
