Rikku Starr: . Well…I got two very special letters of encouragement. One from my uber-special friend, Alice, and my uber-best friend, Kate (the one who doesn't understand swords.) -much love to them- Well…read Chapter 5! (I forgot to change some things in the last chapter, so there are 2 Chapter 4's, and no separations for me to talk, bleh. Oops.)

Chapter Five: Back at Home
Kid awoke to find the boy resting in the desk next to the bed she lay in. She sat up an searched the room. It was a bright room. The walls and floor lay wooden. She peeked again to the boy, who seemed to be waking up.
"Good morning', mate." She softly spoke. His eyes widened. "Have a nice nap?" He was spooked and his chair tipped over. He slowly stood back up. His cheeks were bright pink. He nodded.
"Very good." Kid laughed as loud as she could. "Are you hungry by any chance?"
"No, I ain't." He held out his hand.
"Come with me." She grasped his soft hand, only to find herself struggling to get up, due to the bandages that lay around her waist.
"Can I know yer name first?" He turned and smiled, with his eyes closed.
"I am Roy, and you are?"
"Call me Kid, nice ta meet ya." She placed her other hand on her hip. "Didja do this?"
"Yeah," He blushed. "I hope its alright."
"Perfect." She smiled. "Where we goin'?"
"To meet some friends of mine." He led her to a small room, heated up by a fireplace. Three people sit on couches and the floor. Roy pointed to the couch where two girls sit. They both have a gentle face, with the same frame. One has blue hair, while the other has pink. The blue haired girl was wearing sunglasses. "Kid, these two are Tulip and Lilac."
"Nice ta meet ya." Lilac turned to Kid and smiled. Tulip, with her face remaining still, she spoke.
"Glad too meet you." Lilac nodded. Kid stood there and blinked. Roy pointed to the boy on the ground. "And this is Elm-"
"Elmer's the name." The boy ran over to kid and bowed to her. "I'm the smartest person in the whole world!" He was a short kid, with short green hair. He wore big glasses, like a person from Kid's past.
"I bet you are." Tulip's voice could be heard.
"Guys, I'd like you to meet Kid. She's going to stay with us for a while." Lilac gave a look of excitement and ran over to Kid and hugged her. She ran back to Tulip and dragged her out of her seat. Elmer began pushing them into the next room.
"What they all excited 'bout?" Kid questioned.
"Seems they'll enjoy having someone knew around for a change." He smiled, but his smile quickly flew away with a frown. "If you are wondering, Lilac and Tulip are twins, but have a few disabilities. Lilac is unable to speak, and Tulip is unable to see. Elmer was abandoned when he was younger, so we've taken care of him since."
"I'm sorry ta-"
"Don't worry about it! Come on! Let's get you comfortable, just like if you were back at home."
Chapter Six: Christmas time! It seems the children have brought out some mistletoe . so…read the next chapter! (It's short. Lol.)
Rikku Starr: Okay, so Alice and Kate got me to put this one up. Should I put the next one up now? Hm…
