I do not own any of the characters from Stand By Me, I do however own all the characters that weren't in Stand By Me.

Meeting

The next morning Moon woke up refreshed and energized. It was early and nobody was up yet so she decided to take a jog around town and get to know her new surroundings. She slipped on some jogging pants and a bagy t-shirt then left the house.

The sun was just coming up from the east and the sky was a painting of colors. All the roads were empty, except for a few adults going to their early morning job. They gave her a curious look. They weren't use to having strangers running around on their street. Moon gave them a polite "Good morning." then ignored their stares.

Moon stopped running to catch her breath and check her pulse. She wasn't in real good shape, but she figured if she was going to have a new begining then she needed to change some things about herself. Staying in shape was one of the things on her list. Actually, it was the only thing on her list at the moment.

Just as she was about to get back to her jogging a black car pulled up beside her. She looked over at the driver and saw it was a hansome guy with blond, almost white, hair.

"Hey. You new around here?"

"Yes."

"I'm Ace. What's your name?"

"Moon."

"Moon? Are you serious?"

"Yup."

"Well. It's unique." She nodded. Having nothing to say. She hadn't decided if she wanted to get a new guy or not. She felt that she should ward off men for awhile. At least untill her bruise healed. Then maybe she would heal too.

"Do you need a ride somewhere?"

"No thanks."

"Sure."

"Yup. Just trying to keep in shape." His eyes roamed up and down her body.

"You look fine to me." He said it in such a silky way that Moon couldn't help but shiver. Whether it was from intimidation or intrige, she didn't know. "See ya." And he drove off.

Moon decided to go back to the LaChances' after that. Audrey and Jacob were up by then. Audrey was cooking breakfast while Jacob was reading the newspaper, the sports section.

Audrey looked up at Moon. "Where have you been? I didn't even know you were awake." Jacob looked up from his paper.

"You can't leave the house without telling any one. Not if your going to be livin' under my roof." He said in a commanding voice.

"I just went out for a run. I didn't go far."

"Well next time wait till someone is up and then go out. One of these days no one will be able to fing ya and you worry your aunt."

"Ok." He went back to his paper and Audrey went back to her cooking. Moon went upstairs to take a shower and put on a nice, clean, olive green dress. She then went into Gordie's room.

He was curled up in his blanket sound asleep. Moon giggled to herself then went over to the bed. She crawled up and put her face right next to his then said in a semi-lound voice, "Boo!" Gordie gave a little scream and Moon fell to the floor laughing.

"That was not funny."

"Yes it was." She said through her laughter. She couldn't move she was laughing so hard and her sides were begining to crap from it.

"It wasn't that funny." Gordie stared down at her unable to supress a grin. "Stop laughing! It's contagious." He started laughing though he used all his will to stop.

"Stop making all that racket!" Jacob yelled. Gordie and Moon sobered up quickly after that.

"So, Gordo. You going to show me around today?"

"Maybe later. I have to get ready for school."

"Ok. I'll leave you to that." Moon left his room and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast. A little while later Gordie came back down and quickly ate. Once he finished he yelled "See ya." Then he was gone.

Moon helped Audrey with to dishes then she went up to her room. Counting the hours till Gordie would get back to show her around.

I know that this chapter wasn't to exciting. I am going to have her meet the other guys in the next chapter. I promise. Please review.
