The people soon had Miracle to the Asylum. They hoisted her out.

"No, I don't vant to go in there!" She shouted, struggling.

"Shush, child!" one of the man scolded.

"If you don't, we'll have to punish you." the other said.

"No, No! I don't belong here!" Miracle cried, a little too scared to listen right then.

The man scoffed. "Sure, sure, that's what they all say."

The other man laughed. They soon had her inside. By the time they had her inside, her throat was getting sore. There was a girl in a 'hug me jacket' with hair as red as Columbia's used to be and looked a little paranoid as she was locked in a room by herself.

The man looked at his colleague. "Until the Doctor sees her, we should put her in with Red." he says, 'Red', being what he called the red-headed girl.

Miracle struggled even more.

"Yeah." the colleague agreed, laughing darkly.


The man went and opened up 'Red's' door. 'Red' lifted her head up as soon as Miracle was being shoved in. Miracle landed on her side, but not too hard. She sat up growling. The man chuckled and shut the door, locking it.

"You okay?" 'Red' asked softly.

Miracle looked at the girl. "Yeah..." she said softly.

"I'd hug ya or give ya a pat on the back, but I'm afraid I'm stuck..." 'Red' replied.

Miracle nodded. "I'm Miracle Vitus." she introduced.

"That's a cool name," 'Red' smiled. "My name's actually Anastasia."

"It is a very pretty name..." Miracle half smiled.

"Thank you," Anastasia smiled, then sighed. "My mother thought I was being bewitched by video games because ever since last Christmas when my older brother gave me his old console, I was acting a little different... She made me come here... There's also three kids here that are probably stranger than you and me put together, they say they're from the future."

Miracle looked intrigued.

"Yeah, they're weird kids, they say they came here by accident, maybe at dinner time we'll meet them." Anastasia shrugged.

Miracle sighed softly.

"What brings you here?" Anastasia asked.

"This voman accused me of being a vampire, and she had told my friend off so I lunged at her." Miracle explained.

"Because of how you talk?" Anastasia asked. "I think it's cool how you talk, it sounds so exotic. Where are you from?"

Not knowing the actual connection, but also not giving away her being an alien, Miracle answered. "Transylvania." she said.

"That probably explains it," Anastasia had it click in her mind. "Your family must've moved here... I'd say a year or two ago... Your English is very good." She had thought Miracle meant the Transylvania that was on Earth which was around Germany.

"Um... thank you..." Miracle said, not correcting her on the time span.

"I wanna be a pop star, but I guess I can't..." Anastasia lowered her head, she was chipper, but was down in the dumps due to being in an insane asylum at her age. "Oh, well, at least I have a new friend." she perked right back up, smiling at Miracle.

Miracle nodded. "Yes, it's nice." she smiled softly, no reason she couldn't make a friend.

"I'll help you around here if you want... I'm sorry you're stuck here too..." Anastasia sighed, but smiled. Her friendship with Miracle seemed to mirror Magenta's friendship with Columbia.

Miracle nodded, that would be nice.

"Maybe we'll meet those kids, if I didn't know any better, I'd say they were from another planet." Anastasia joked.

Miracle accidentally jumped at that statement.

"Whoa, careful for those involuntary muscle spasms." Anastasia chuckled gently.

Miracle nervously chuckled along.

"Dinner should be ready soon..." Anastasia murmured.

"Vhat happens at dinner here?" Miracle asked.

"Usually they ring a bell or announce it over the intercom," Anastasia explained, then winced at the other part, deciding not to tell Miracle about it yet.

Miracle nodded. She noticed the wince, but didn't say anything about it.

"They usually serve pretty good food though, not like yucky gruel or anything like that." Anastasia continued.

"Do they keep these things on us all the time?" Miracle asked, about the jacket.

"Usually at bed time, meal hours, and recreation time we can have them off." Anastasia answered, having a smile, hoping that might cheer Miracle up a little bit about her hostage situation.

Miracle nodded and then shuffled over to sit closer to her new friend.

"I really miss my family," Anastasia sighed. "I've been here for a year... I feel regretful of using that joystick for 'evil'... My parents ran away to an Amish farm."

"Vhat 'evil' did you do vith it?" Miracle asked curiously.

"Parents just don't understand," Anastasia sighed. "The most important thing in a kid's life is to beat a video game they've been playing since they got for their birthday. I did my homework, studies, and everything, but I guess it just kept me from outdoors..."

Miracle, who was now next to Anastasia, nuzzled the girl's shoulder like a cat. "As my arms aren't free to hug." she explained.

"Oh, that feels nice." Anastasia giggled, feeling tickled by the nuzzles. It was the best form of warm contact she had ever had.

Miracle smiled, keeping her head on the girl's shoulder. Anastasia sang a quiet, sweet version of I Love Rock and Roll from Joan Jett to Miracle. Miracle smiled softly. She fell into a light doze, a couple of tears running down her cheeks. Anastasia leaned against Miracle until they would be called for dinnertime.
