A Tale of Dreams and Strength
Chapter Two: Only in Dreams
"Zeke, honey, wake up, wake up Zeke."
A Young boy woke up to the sight of a woman with light blonde hair and shining blue eyes smiling at him.
"Good, Zeke you're up!" The boy didn't know this woman, but somehow, she seemed familiar. The woman then picked the child (he supposed his name was Zeke, seeing as that was what the woman kept calling him) out of his bed and set him down on the floor.
"We have a big day today, Zeke, we are going to visit you're cousin, Derik in the little town he lives in."
"What's the name of the town?" the boy named Zeke asked
"Well, it doesn't really have a name, its just a little town."
"Okay, lets go!" Even though Zeke didn't know the woman, he felt happy and warm when she was near. But as he neared the door out of his room, holding the woman's hand, she disappeared. He was left in a void of blackness. He was all alone now, he felt cold and alone. Then he heard a voice. No. two voices. And they were. arguing? It seemed like the two voices, he could tell there names were Eriks and Meryl, were fighting over whether they should just take care of a little boy they found in the desert, or actually look for the child's family.
"I don't think he even has a family Meryl!"
"Of course he does you spiky-headed moron!"
"Hey! I'm not the one who thinks we can find one little kids family on this entire planet!"
"It can't be that hard!"
"We should still take care of him, besides, we don't have a child of our own" And so it went. Until the voices woke up the young boy. He then realized that the woman was nothing more than a dream, he now felt cold and alone again. It got even worse when he realized that the only thing he could remember was his name, Zeke, and he wasn't even that sure that Zeke was his real name.
As they were arguing, Meryl noticed that the young boy they found was sitting up, crying.
"Look what you did now, idiot, you woke the poor kid up!"
"What I did!? You made more noise than me, Meryl!" And so the arguing and yelling went on. and on. and on. until the little boy spoke up in a small kind of scared voice,
"Umm. Mister Eriks, Miss Meryl, I'm hungry" Eriks and Meryl looked at each other, slightly confused, they had almost forgotten the kid was there .
"Oh, silly me! We got caught up in our conversation and almost forgot you were there" Eriks said
"Umm. that sounded like an argument, not a conversation." Eriks and Meryl just stood dumbfounded at the little kid's intelligence.
"Uh. you said you were hungry, right, uh. what's your name little boy?" asked Meryl.
"I think my name is Zeke"
"Do you have a last name?"
"I don't know." He said sweetly
"Well, do you have any family?"
"I don't know"
"Do you have anything?"
"I don't know"
"Do you know anything?"
"I don't know"
"AARGH!! I give up!" Meryl then stormed off to make a sandwich for the annoying kid.
"Hehe, she's fun" the boy said with a smile.
"Yeah, she's a load of laughs" Said Eriks sarcastically
"I HEARD THAT ERIKS!!!!!!!"
"Eep"
{Several hours, several sandwich breaks and several hundred questions later.}
"Well, we know that the kid's name is Zeke and that's it." Said Meryl
"I told you finding this kid's family would be hard." Was Eriks' reply
"Oh, shut up."
[Eriks smiling in victory]
"So I guess we take him in" Said Eriks
"I guess so."
^__________________________________^ I think that was great. And don't worry, Zeke is somehow connected one of Trigun's main characters. No one asked that question, and no one has reviewed this story yet. Except me, and that was to post an update thing. You guys aren't very supportive:( . Oh well ^_^ ill get back to writing a story now. Oh, and before I go, I just want to say my cat looks just like Kureonekou =^o^=. Just sayin'. LOVE AND PEACE!,
