Saturday, August 25th, 1985- Toon City, Oklahoma

It was a quiet evening in Toon City, the sun was starting to set, the water is shimmering, crickets are chirping. So peaceful. The city lights glow around them, their lights illuminating all of the buildings. It's a nice city where you can get away from the bustling noise and bustle of the outside world, so close to the water, that they don't have to worry about getting too wet or cold when it rains.

At a Gymnastics building, a gymnastics class that consists of girls at the age 9 to 10 was just wrapping up as the class went into the lockers to change into their casual wear as they chattered with one another.

One of the kids were already changed as she sits on one of the benches. She was a cute girl named Priscilla. She was a cute little girl with large light brown hair that that seems to go in every direction. She wore a cream and green shirt with a heart, green shoes and a tan skirt.

A student walked by as she asks, "So, what are you doing when you get home?"

Priscilla looks over to her, an annoyed look growing across her face. "I dunno. Probably going to my house and watch the Facts of Life until I pass out."

The person raises her eyebrows, sarcastically replying, "Really? Why don't you spend some time with your dad instead of playing in the arcade like a loner? I mean, he loves being able to spend time with his daughter."

"Because I have more important things to do than be at home," Priscilla said, standing up with a surely attitude.

"Oh really? Like what?" The student questioned, walking past her towards the door, opening it as she does so.

"Well... I'm going to meet up with a friend," Priscilla hesitantly replies, walking after her.

The student turns around and faces Priscilla. Her eyebrow raised again as she chuckles, "Yeah, sure, Priscilla Dawson."

The light brown haired girl scoffs as she rolls her eyes, leaving as the classmates mockingly laughs.

She sighs as she walks down the halls and heads to the exit, she looked outside, and only saw other girls heading home with their mothers and fathers. She sighs as she shakes her head, no sign of her parents. Probably busy with work again. With no other choice, she grabs her bike, takes her walkman and headpones, and starts playing Kid Wilde as she bikes her way to the mall.

Her thoughts wonder back to her classmates, wondering how they're doing at that moment. Maybe having a sleepover somewhere and watching movies as they play with their dolls or who knows what all night long, but hey, it'll be fun for them. But Priscilla had a hard time making friends. It's not that she doesn't want to make friends. But it's hard sometimes since she never felt like a part of the group. Even in school, there's always someone who has something interesting to say and will tell others, she would just sit by herself, not knowing anyone, feeling like she's probably got nothing interesting to add into the conversation. She would often throw herself in her own world, playing arcade games, watching Punky Brewster and Dream Boy High, and the list goes on and on.

Eventually, she managed to make it to the arcade at the mall. She parks her bike next to one of the Bike Parking racks before heading inside. The air conditioning in the Arcade was cool and crisp. She walks over to the counter as the cashier greeted her.

"How may I help you?" He asked, leaning over the counter and looking through her backpack.

"Uh, I'd like some quarters," Priscilla answered, giving him a 25 dollar bill.

He took her money and gave her a pair of quarters.

The cashier chuckled and nodded, "Alright, have fun! Let me know if you need any help!"

"Thanks," she replied, turning away and looking around the store. She browsed through various games while listening to a few random tunes played in the background. As she browsed, found the Ms. Pac Man game and walked over to it. A smile formed on her lips as she put on her headphones and started playing.

She was lost in her imagination, enjoying the moment as she played the game. She was so distracted by everything around her she hadn't other kids playing other arcade games.

She didn't notice someone else was there, until she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, it was a redhead girl her height and around her age.

"Hey there!" She greeted, grinning at the girl.

"Hey there," she responds, giving her a small nod in return, "What are you playing?"

"Ms. Pac Man," She answered, pointing to the machine with her joystick.

"Ah, cool! My name is Karen, I hope I get a chance to play sometime soon."

There was a comfortable silence between them, each girl taking their fill of the other's presence before Karen spoke up.

"Do you wanna play together? You seem like you'd win against me any time," she commented with a smirk, nudging her arm.

Priscilla giggled, shaking her head lightly. "No thanks, I think I'm gonna stay here and enjoy myself for now."

"That's okay! I understand! Enjoy yourself."

They both laughed for a bit longer before Karen returned to her original game, Dig Dug.

Priscilla turned back to the Ms. Pac Man game, smiling to herself, as she thought about Karen. After all, she never really had friends before, maybe this could be her chance to make one of her first friends. Maybe next time she sees her, she'll get a chance to get to know her. She wasn't really good at socializing anyways, maybe she should talk to Karen later to get to know her a little better.

Soon it was around 8 o'clock, and Priscilla got home, which was a nice 1-story house. She lived in a very normal neighborhood with the same houses on either side of her street. They weren't too large or too small, but they were all in good shape for their age.

As she walked up to the front door of her house, only to see her father watching the News, while paying little to no attention to anything around him. She didn't know why he did that because there wasn't anything wrong with what was happening, she just never knew why he preferred watching TV more than seeing her daughter. There was no sign of the mother, she grumbled, "Late shift."

She went into the kitchen to get herself some water before going upstairs to bed.
