Hey people! Ok, Vash just screwed up in the last chapter when he finally
came home. Will he ever be able to make it up to Meryl? I guess you'll find
out in this chapter or the next!

That was it. I couldn't believe he was being such a loser. That proved that
he was a broom head!
I ran past the kitchen as Millie had just finished a fresh batch of donuts. Wolfwood turned and looked at me as I rushed out the front door and Millie made an attempt to chase me.
"Meryl!" Millie called. I ignored her cries and kept going. After a while I turned back to see that Millie wasn't behind me anymore and that I was clear out of town. I fell to the dirt next to a rock and cried, flooding the ground with my tears. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'I can't believe how much of an insensitive jerk I was.'
Just then Wolfwood ran into the room and grabbed me by the collar of my coat, pulling me up.
"What the hell did you do to make her run out of town?" he said. I stared him down.
"We had a few choice words."
"What do you mean choice words?" he said squeezing tighter on my collar. I pushed him to the floor.
"She slapped me two times, and we both yelled." I said making a fist at him. "I already feel bad so don't rub it in."
"Hey man!" he said getting up and waving a fist back at me. Soon Millie walked in and grabbed both of our ears.
"No fighting in my house!" she said dragging us to the kitchen table and sitting us down. "Now lets start eating. Meryl will come back eventually."
Wolfwood and I looked at each other as she sat down, then we started eating as told. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I sat with my back to the rock, a little girl, around the age of five peeked over at me. I didn't notice her until she came around fully and stood in front of me. I gazed up at her as she wiped a tear from my eye with her thumb and observed it.
I looked her up and down and noticed that she probably didn't have a family. Her hair, not to mention her whole body, needed a good clean scrub. She had a raggedy red dress and if you looked close, the outline of her ribs could be seen. She looked up at me.
"Why are you crying?" she asked. "Did your mommy die too?"
At that moment I realized that my problem wasn't half as bad as that. My goodness she was so innocent and pure and the most adorable girl ever. She had blond hair, green eyes and a fair complexion. She just needed to eat a little.
"Actually," I answered. "I didn't have a mommy."
"Did you lose your daddy?"
I smiled a bit. "No I never knew him. I had no family."
"Is that why you were crying?"
"No, but now that you look at it, what I was crying about really wasn't all that bad. My friend was the only one who made me cry."
"Your friend?"
"Yep."
Then she climbed into my lap and gave me a hug. I returned it smiling.
"Do you feel better now?" she asked still holding me. I got up and started for town.
"Yes." I replied.
After a long while as we were in town going to my house she asked, "Where are we going?"
I walked up to the door of my house. "To your new home." I opened the door and walked in. "Millie I'm home!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok I know this was a really short chapter but live with it. I'll try to post some more of these puppies later. My hands hurt from all the writing and typing. Whew! R&R -Brittany
