"You,"Yuna said. It was…

---------------------

Meanwhile...

"Dad, hurry!" Tidus rushed.

"Stop it, Tidus. We're not late, okay?" Tidus' dad said. "We're almost there anyways."

It was…Yuna's neighbors! Three of her old neighbors. They had always picked on Yuna since they were little. They are a year or 2 older than her.

"Give my flowers back, Marc!" she yelled.

"And what if he doesn't?" Brian challenged.

"Hey, Marc. Pass them here," Alex called.

"Here you go," Marc said, passing them to Alex.

"Hey! Stop it!" Yuna yelled again, trying to take her flowers from Alex.

"Here, Brian. Catch!" And the three boys started to play "Monkey in the Middle" with Yuna's daisies.

"Stop it!" Yuna screamed.

"Give them back."

They all turned to the direction of the voice.

"You heard me. Give them back to her." The person who just spoke was on the other side of the front yard.

Marc had the flowers. "Oh. So you must be the new kid."

"Don't make me say it twice."

"You think you're so tough, don't you? Why don't you come and get them yourself?" Marc taunted, throwing the flowers in the air to Brian.

Then the new kid jumped from where he was and grabbed the flowers in the air before Brian even had the chance to catch them. The kid landed, walked over to Yuna, and handed her flowers back, smiling.

"Here. I believe these are yours."

"Wow!" Yuna said, staring at him. "Uh…that was great!"

"Here," he said again.

"Oh…um…thank you," Yuna said, finally taking her daisies back.

"Oh, I get it," Marc said. "You want to show off to the young lady, don't you? Why don't you come back and fight like a little boy?"

The new boy turned his head toward Marc. "Are you sure you want to fight?" the new boy asked coolly.

"Marc, I think we should go," Alex said.

"Rrrrr…oh, fine!" Marc said, giving the new boy a "This is not the last time you're going to see me" look. Then the three boys walked away.

Inside the house, Yuna's father was having a conversation with Yunia's mother.

"Oh, I might as well tell her the truth," Yuna's father said. "Yuna's going to find out that the neighbors are not going to come sooner or later."

Braskaopened the front door and said, "Yuna, I have t…" but was cut off when Yuna came running at him to give him a bear hug. "Thank you, Daddy! Thank you for the birthday present!"

"What? What did I give you?"

"A big brother!" she said, pointing at the new boy standing in the middle of their lawn.

"Oh…umm…well…you're welcome, Honey. Well, I'm going to go back in, okay?"

"Okay," Yuna answered.

Yuna's father went back in to tell her mother about the news.

Yuna ran back to the boy.

"So, what's your name?" she asked the boy.
