I stood quietly in the crowded street of Wu-Tai, The Dragoon costumes florished the street as the people smiled and laughed. The children ran around with sticks, re-enacting the Bloody War. My eyebrow arched and i proceeded to watch carefully as the parade marched on. I shifted my weight on to my left leg. My arms were folded and my hair was whipped around by the gusts of wind. I looked up at the sky as the clouds swallowed the sun.
"every year, the same stupid parade, and i always watch it.....Pathetic."
I lauged sarcastically to myself. and i turned around and walked away from the street. the children all were happy as they were into their own world. getting dirty, having fun...
"I wish i could remember my childhood."
I shrugged my shoulders and walked to the turtles paridice bar. i stepped into the doorway and walked to 'my chair'
"the usual Zeal?"
"Yeah."
I know i was 17, so did Albert. But i just had this look on my face where he knew i needed a good hard drink.
"Hey, its on me."
"Thanks Al."
"so whats new?"
I sipped my alcohol slowly.
"Nothing."
"Whats wrong?"
"Ahh every fucking year, i always feel like shit."
"is it because that everyone has a good time with their familys and you dont have one?"
"well Duh....How'd you know that somethin was wrong?"
"your usually on your 2ond or 3rd drink already. Ive never seen anyone drink that slowly."
"Hey, i can take it....Ive been alone for the past 17 years, im a big girl."
"yeah, i know how that feels."
"yeah."
"so where are you goin this year?"
I looked at Albert.
"I dont know."
"Have you been savin up your Gill?"
"Yeah."
"if ya dont mind, how much?"
"600.."
"you can go to Junon with that."
"No, not Junon, Im thinkin about Cosmo Canyon"
"thats a good place."
"i always wanted to know about the stars, and the past of this planet."
"well atleast you know where your goin now."
"yeah, Well, i'd better pack-up"
"c-ya."
"Hey, i'll be back, you cant loose me that easily."
I smiled. and he smiled back.
"alright...take care"
"later"
I stood up and walked out of turtles Paridice and went to my house, hidden by Da-Chu. i walked into my small house and opened the windows and let the sun pour into the dark house. I got my suitcase and packed up the essentials. My Journal, my Pens, clothes, ect, ect.. I walked out of my house and walked to the entrance/Exit of the town.
"Zeal, where are you goin??"
"Hey Miachi, Um, im goin away."
"for a long time?"
"Well, it all depends."
"Depends on what?"
"If i like it in Cosmo Canyon."
"Cosmo Canyon? home of the stars?"
"Yeah i guess, thats what i heard."
"How are you gona get there?"
"On a boat."
"Are you gona forget me?"
"Hell no, why would I?"
"I wont forget you."
"Thats good. Well, I gotta go."
"Bye Zeal!"
"Bye Mia!!!"
I waved slowly at her as i walked away.I walked over the moutains and i walked to the boat dock.
