A/N: Sorry for the wait! I gotta put up these little chapters to really set the scene and stage! I promise to write these ASAP! Thanks!
With a great sigh, a sore, tired teenager flopped down in the foyer of her uncle's small extra house. Adeline, as she was known, was instructed to stay at her uncle's summer home instead of racking up a bill at some hotel. Adeline was glad the house was filled with things she could actually understand. She pulled herself up, along with her heavy schoolbag, and trudged upstairs slowly. The small loft up there was her room, filled with many Chococat and Blue Eyes plushies. They were her friends, since real ones either couldn't understand her or moved away or she moved away from or became afraid of her uncle and backed off. Her uncle was her guardian, despite the fact her father was still alive but he was too busy for her, traveling the world pursuing his dreams in archeology.
Hastily pulling off her new uniform of a school that picked on and ridiculed her, she pulled out her favorite Blue Eyes from her bag. He was her best friend and always had been. He could speak any language, so he could always understand no matter who she was. She pulled on a pair of flannel pajamas and picked him up gently.
"What a day we've had, eh? At least no one has seen you yet, maybe they won't try to hurt you." She gave him a great squeeze of a hug and placed him on her well-made bed. "What would you like to do tonight? Does watching many movies IN FRENCH," she half yelled to the world, "and devour every carton of ice cream we can after some pancakes? Good thing Uncle isn't here! He'd blow a fuse if he knew we were going to have that!"
The little dragon was silent as always, so he neither rejected nor approved. Adeline gave him a little nuzzle before picking him up and slid down the banister of the stairs. The house was so small, she was already in the living room at the end of the staircase. She pulled out a big bowl for the pancakes in the kitchen, still talking to her little stuffed animal. She jumped when the phone rang, which she could guess of who was on the other line.
"'Allo?" she called into the receiver, her strong accent taking over the word, "Oh Uncle! How are you, sir?" Adeline looked nervously over to her bewd plushie as if telling him to keep quiet about their dinner and dessert. "Oh no, everything's wonderful! The people at my school are very welcoming and nice." It was hard to get those words out, for the kids at Nigai Academy were quite the opposite.
"Have you spoken with our new business partner yet Adeline?" her uncle asked impatiently, trying to keep his pleasant tone.
"Oh! Uh…not quite. I promise to do so soon sir! I promise!"
"I'm glad to hear that. I hope you can survive by yourself until I arrive."
"Arrive?"
"You did not know I was staying with you as well," he questioned.
"Uh, not exactly. But it's fine, really. I'm looking forward to seeing you again, Uncle Dion!" Adeline falsely, yet cheerfully as possible, told him. She heard the click of the other receiver turning off and hung up as well. "Well, little Blue Eyes, we're going to a have visitor in some time. Now about those pancakes…"
