It's Crazy What A Book Can Do

Chapter One

Shu was sitting at his desk head in hands working on the budget of Oceania castle. He never was very good at accounting usually Apple did it... 'Apple, when are you coming back?' Shu sighed. It had been two years since he woke up that one morning finding a note on his desk. It had been two years since Apple had gone away to who knows where.

Thirty minutes passed and Shu hadn't even put a miniscule dot on the paper. He sighed and put his quill down, pushed back his chair, and got up and stretched. 'This is too boring...I think I'll go for a walk.' Shu is currently the 'leader' of the City-States, but only because he was letting Riou relax right now and see the world. Riou had come back a couple times in the last two years, but had been gone most of the time.

Once outside of the castle and in the market place he felt better. Shu talked to a lot of the shopkeepers and even bought a few things, such as paper, ink, etc. It was when he was at a bookstand that he found it. The wonderful book, at least that's what he called it. Everyone else called the book 'The Biography of Maithu Silverburg'. But that wasn't what caught Shu. It was the Author's name that caught his eye. Apple [put last name here]. Shu picked up the book and stared at it afraid of his eyes tricking him, as they had done so much lately, heck one time he thought that Rina was Apple!

"Um...Mr. could you tell me who the Author is on this book?" Shu held out the book.

"Apple..." the shopkeeper started but then Shu stopped him by shaking his hand.

No his eyes weren't tricking him this time. It really said Apple. Shu immediately bought the book and ran back to his office. He sat down and hugged the book tightly. Thirty more minutes passed and finally he opened the book. He carefully read some pages soaking up the 'voice' of Apple. 'If only Apple was really here.' Shu sighed for like the thousandth time in two months.

After Shu had read the book nonstop for two hours he decided he really should get back to the accounting work.

(***********)

It was really crowded in the small home in Sieka. Apple had decided to live in her teacher's old home to compile everything she got for Maithu's biography. So when she had it published somehow people had found where she lived. People from all over Toran wanted to say how good it was. But most of them asked for some money, which Apple politely said no to. She wanted her money.

Apple usually wasn't greedy but some of the rich people were asking for money too. She was happiest when some of her old friends in the Liberation Army came and visited. Today there were many people that wanted her to sign their book. 'Most likely so in a couple of years when it is rare to see one, let alone one signed they could get a lot of money off of it.'

Finally it was night and all the people were gone. Apple eased into her bed grateful for a night's rest.

She dreamed about her time at Oceania castle. She dreamt of all her friends, acquaintances, and... her love.

Apple woke up panting, and crying. "I miss you Shu...I miss all of you." Apple broke down crying.

"I have to go back.... even if they hate me. I miss them all too much."

The next morning Apple packed all her stuff and said goodbye to her temporary home. She started to walk out of the town of Sieka, saying goodbye to all who greeted her. She walked to Banner Village, and got on the boat. Landing in Radat.

When she passed Shu's old house she looked up into the window but didn't see anything. If only that person in the house had been looking out the window at the time. Maybe then she could have seen 'him' faster than seeing everyone else...

Karana: I'm not sure if that was long enough for you guys, but it took me a long time to write. I promise that there will be more talking in the next chapter! And if I lie then shoot me! (Not literally)^^, Review!
