Chapter Three: The man with Blue Hair.

She awoke to fine herself lying face down in sand. Pieces of wood lay at her sides, swaying with the water. She blinked and stood up.

Where am I? Who am I? Where is everyone? I'm so alone!

She wandered the sands to find herself in a large city. Crowded with people, many activities, she felt like she was back at home. She trotted down the sidewalk and a man ran up next to her, shoving her into an alleyway.

"Gimme ya money, Sheila!" She slowly stood up.

"I don't have any!" He pulled out a dagger.

"I said: Gimme ya money, ya kid!"

"I ain't a kid!"

"Yes ya are! Now get outta here and go back ta ya mum, kid!"

"But, I don't have a Mom, or a home." She looked down.

"Then," He lifted his dagger. "let me end ya-"

"Burder! Let her go! She can stay with us for a while." A man stood out of the shadows. He walked over to the girl. "Ya wanna stay with us?" She nodded. "Ya got a name?"

"I had one, but I don't remember."

"Then…we'll call ya…Kid! How 'bout that?" She smiled.

"I called her that and she yelled at me! That lil' bugger!" Burder yelled.

"Shut yer trap! Now Kid, let's get ya settled." He led her further into the shadows. In an intersection were many bandits and thieves, lying around. "These are me men, and we are the Radical Dreamers." He pointed to each person. "That's Switer, Rio, Brudda, and I'm Magil."

"I wanna know why you to talk so funny." Kid looked up toward Magil. He had a soft, pale face. His hair was long and light blue. He looked down toward her and laughed.

"That's how all people around here talk, Sheila. I insist you learn it as well." Burder came out from the alleyway. "And that's Burder." He gave a sarcastic smile and sat on a pile of crates. "On, and follow me." He led Kid to a small pocket in the alleyway. Lying around were many chests and gold. Magil walked to the back, and bent over, picking something up. He handed Kid the object. "You'll need this. It's called a dagger. Around here isn't a safe place." He pointed to a pile of clothes. "Find some ya like and they're yours."

"Why- are you being so nice to me?" He knelt down to her and smiled.

Chapter Four: This one was too short. I'm posting the next chapter now…Seems, Kid is going to get into more trouble with Burder. Someone saves Kid? How so?…and who?

~*~*Rikku Starr*~*~: Well, I'm at a loss of words right now…I'll improvise. Well, Let's see…My day you ask? It was awesome! Orch-dork practice was a couple of hours ago. I got to stare at Glenn all practice, since he's 1st chair (Cello) and I'm 5th (2nd Violin). ^.^ Yeah, I'm a loser.
