Prologue

Rain beat at the window pane fiercely as the storm had continued. Lavie moved closer to the figure lying in her bed as the thunder boomed outside. She rolled over to face the figure and her dark eyes met blue eyes. Her best friend Claus Valca. He always stayed with her if there was a thunderstorm. Ever since she could remember somebody stayed with her. If it wasn't Al it was Claus. She really enjoyed their company during storms like these. She knew that if word ever got out that she disliked thunder Nose Hair, Fat Chicken and the others would tease her till she died. Claus gently tucked a piece of hair under her ear. He was always the nice and gentle one and she was the feisty one. The only time Claus got mad was in their vanship. She smiled weakly at him before she yelped as the thunder boomed once more. Lavie held on to Claus tightly not wanting to ever let go. Though when he noticed that she was clinging onto him she was already asleep. He smiled brushing strands of hair out of her face. Soon he fell asleep listening to the rain's rhythm.



Lavi awoke in the morning… alone. She thought that Claus was with her. 'Oh well' she thought as she got up and stretched, a little. Then before she got to the door it opened revealing Al.
"Your up!" she said, jumping into Lavie's arms." Claus and I made you breakfast."
"OK, let's go!" Lavie said, running into the kitchen like room.
Claus was standing over a bowl on the table scratching his head. Claus looked up at her and blushed with embarrassment.
"I think it's burnt." he said, as Lavie walked over and looked at the mess.
"What is it?" Lavie asked.
"It was supposed to be an egg." Claus said, still embarrassed.
"Well, how did it come to look like this?" Lavie asked once more.
"I don't know but I'd say it was cooked a little too long." he said, as she walked over to the garbage can she kind of beat it out.
"How 'bout we cook together." Lavie said as Claus nodded in response.
The two of them worked on it together as Alvis or Al set the table. Eggs never did take half an hour before but with Claus it will.
{A/N: I'm not saying he's dumb but he is learning how to cook so it might take a while}

Finally, the food was done. Lavie didn't take any time to eat. Claus and Al giggled as she hurried it all down. Lavie then got up and stared out the window. It was still raining. Then someone knocked on the door. She opened it revealing Tatiana standing there wet. Something was bundled up in her arms but nobody knew what it was nor did they question. They would soon learn the truth.
