Baby Girl
Chapter One
By: fairysphinx
fairysphinx: This is my first Zoids fanfic, so please go easy on me. And, just for the record, any flames will be used to cook my dinner. Okay?
Disclaimer: I do not own Zoids, blah, blah, blah.
Raven watched the military base go up in flames. He smiled. "One less military base to worry about. Let's go, Shadow!" They marched off, into the sunset.
That night, they slept in a cave, at the foot of a cliff. Shadow was snoring slightly as he slept. The Geno Breaker semi-blocked the mouth of the cave. Raven lay back on his back, resting his head on his hands. He sighed. Alone. He was alone.
'I wonder,' Raven thought, 'what it would be like to travel with someone. Not just like Shadow. He's good company, at times, but he lacks something. No, I want to be able to socialize with someone.' With that, he drifted off into an uneasy sleep.
About an hour later, Raven woke up to Shadow, nudging his awake. "What do you want, Shadow? I'm trying to sleep!" Shadow pointed to the entrance of the cave. Raven looked just in time to see a black figure disappear from sight. Raven got up and ran after her.
Outside the cave, there was nothing to be seen, save rocks and a tree. * fairysphinx is seen, imitating a tree * "Nothing here, but a scrawny, old tree." (fairysphinx: Well, I never!!!!!!) * Raven is bapped over the head with a tree branch; fairysphinx whistles innocently, when Raven turns and looks at her * "Okay, that was odd."
Upon returning to the cave, Raven stumbled on a…thing. Looking down, he saw an old blanket that was wrapped around something. Picking it up, Raven carried it back to the fire, were Shadow gave it an intense 'sniff over.' After Shadow indicated that it wasn't a bomb, or anything dangerous (riiiiigggggghhhhhhttttt), Raven opened the bundle, revealing a small, round face, with ginormous (in case you haven't read any of my other fics, it is a cross spelling between gigantic and enormous) eyes. He nearly fainted.
'Great. This is just great! What am I supposed to do with a kid?!' While he was thinking, Shadow picked up a note, clutched in the kid's small fist. "What's this?" Raven wondered, out loud. He read it. And for you, fic readers, this is what it said:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am entrusting this child's life with you. And, for the record, I am watching every move you make! So, take care of this child, or I will sick a reincarnated Death Saurer on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By this time, tears (you know, those tears that anime people get when they feel sorry for themselves, or something similar) were streaming down Raven's cheeks, in self-pity. If he got rid of the kid, he would die. If he took care of the kid, he would die. 'So, what would be the easier death sentence?' he thought, but had no time to ponder it. For at that time, the kid woke up.
The girl was about five years of age. She had long, red hair and grey eyes, and she wore a plain white night gown. The girl looked around the cave, at the Geno Breaker, then, at Shadow, and finally, at Raven. "Who awe you?" she demanded.
"I should be asking you the same question!"
"You mean!"
"I am not!"
"Awe too!"
"Are not!"
"Awe too!"
'Listen to me! I'm quarreling as if I was a baby!'
"Fine, kid! I'm Raven."
"Fine, kid, I'm Waven."
"Are you mimicking me?!"
"Awe you mimicking me?!"
"Grr!!!"
"Gww!!!"
"Watch it kid!"
"Watch it, kid!"
"YOU'RE GETTING ON MY NERVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The mimicking stopped. Just a moment after he had yelled, the little girl burst out in tears.
"Please, now, don't cry!"
"WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shadow covered his ears at the horrific sound. Rocks began to fall from the ceiling.
"What am I supposed to d-ow." An exceptionally big rock hit Raven on the head. The girl stopped crying, and began to giggle. 'Finally!'
"So, kid, what's your name?"
"Mia Donkey!" * Raven sweatdrops * "Mia Donkey!"
"Captions please!" * the words, 'Mia Donkey' appear at the bottom of the screen * "Thank you! Eh hem! Your name's Mia?"
"Mia! Me Mia!"
"Okay, Mia. Why don't we go back to sleep?"
"No!"
"Don't tell me no, missy!"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" * Raven hits himself on the head * * Mia giggles * "Waven funny!"
"Now will you go to bed?"
"No bed!" Raven sighed.
"You're impossible!"
"Tank you! Play now! Play house!"
"What's house?"
"Me da mommy, and you da baby. And Mommy takes cawe (care) of da baby!"
"Oka-a-a-a-ay." And so, all night long they played house. By dawn, the sugar fairysphinx had given the kid wore off, and Mia went fast asleep. And so did Raven, with a headache, bruises, and a full stomach, from being force-fed.

"Wake up, Waven!!!!!!!" Mia called. "Mia hungwy!" Breakfast was rather uneventful.
"Mia, I'm going out for a while. I'll be back soon."
"Okey dokey!"
'Finally! Some alone time!' he thought, climbing into the Geno Breaker. Or, so he thought. About a mile away from the cave, a voice said:
"Fun wide (ride)!!!!" Looking back, Raven saw that Mia had stowed away in the cockpit.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
halfway across planet Zi
"Uh, what was that?"
"I don't know, Van," Fiona said. "But it sounded like Raven."
back to Raven
"Wha-what are you doing here? I told you to stay in the cave!!"
"Waven say he going out. Waven no say Mia stay in cave." (Raven: v_vU)
"Well, Shadow, looks like we're going back to the cave." Raven sighed.
'Is this my punishment?!?! To be haunted for the rest of my life by a little girl?!?!'
* fairysphinx pops up inside his head * "Hey, you're the one that made the wish, not me!" * fairysphinx pops out of his head *
'Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
For a while, Mia stayed where she was. But then, she ventured up to the front of the Geno Breaker.
"Waven mad?" she asked, upon looking at his enraged face.
"Yes, Raven is very mad!"
"Mia sorry." She went back to where she had been. She buried her face in her nightgown, and began to cry. The heavy material slightly muffled the tears.
'Oh, yeah, there you go, Raven! If it isn't bad enough you hurt adults, you go and hurt an innocent child!' He sighed, and ran a hand through his hair. 'Aren't you just the father of the month!'
