The next morning, Hughes woke up to a face like no other. Gracia stood there with Serenity beside her. Maes shot up immediately, "Gracia! Uh...when did you get up?" She looked at him and said, "Oh, I don't know...maybe ever since an hour ago! It's almost 11:30 in the morning! And who is this! What is she doing here!" Hughes stared at Gracia and then burst into fake waterfall tears. "OH Gracia! I found the little girl on the street! I couldn't just leave her there, you know how I am! I had to bring her home with me!"
"What about her parents? Do they know where she is?"
Serenity pulled Gracia's shirt and told her, "But, I have no parents. My parents are... dead." Gracia stared at her for a moment and grabbed her in a giant hug. "I'm sorry sweety! You can stay with us for as long as you like!" Serenity looked at Hughes and winked. He smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up.
Gracia then let go and said to Hughes, "Hey, why don't you bring her to the Headquarters? You know, just to give her a look around," she then turned to Serenity, "Won't that be fun?" Serenity smiled and nodded her head.
Hughes walked Serenity to Headquarters and on the way, they ran into Ed and Al. Hughes waved his hand at them, "Hey you two!" Ed and Al waved back with big smiles. Then they saw Serenity and and asked, "Hey Hughes. Who's that with you?" He looked down at her and nodded. She walked up to Ed and Al and said, "Hi. My name's Serenity. It's nice to meet you." Ed gulped and blushed some. He turned his head so Serenity couldn't see his pink face. Al giggled a little. Ed kicked his leg and whispered, "Shaddup Al!"
Serenity looked at them and cocked her head. Then she looked at Hughes and said, "They're funny Daddy!" Hughes stared at her when he heard the word 'Daddy'. She blushed at him and looked away, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say Daddy. Well, it's not right if you're...not really my Dad..." Hughes shook his head and told her, "It's okay. I am pretty much your Dad now."
Ed stopped yelling at his brother and turned to Hughes, "Whaddya mean 'Dad'?"
Hughes looked at Ed and then realized he hadn't told Ed or Al anything about Serenity. "I'm sorry," he said to the confused Ed and Al, "I didn't tell you two anything about Serenity. Did I?" Both of them shook their heads.
He continued with his story, "Well Roy is actually the one who found her. I'm just looking after her...and she likes me more anyway...but that's not important. When Roy found her he said that she was covered in blood, but there's not a scratch on Serenity. It's really weird actually..." Ed interuppted him saying, "Hey, do you think the blood came from someone else and Serenity just happened to get covered in it?" Hughes shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. It's possible though."
Serenity stared at the both of them. This stare was different though. Her eyes were glazed over, now just the turqoise color of her eyes and she had no expression on her face at all. Hughes looked at here and shook her shoulder. Serenity just kept staring in one direction. Now Maes was getting panicky. He didn't know what to do or what was even wrong with her.
He picked Serenity up and ran toward Headquarters. Ed and Al followed him. When he got there, he ran up to his office and put her down. Serenity's eyes were glowing now...they were also a bright pine green now, too. Hughes was yelling at her, "Serenity! Serenity can you hear me! Serenity!"
Then her eyes went normal again and she stared at Maes with a terrified look on her face. She was breathing heavily as she sat up. Maes hugged her, but Serenity just pushed him away. He looked at her with tears in his eyes from worrying. She stared at the floor and said, "Don't touch me," then she looked up at him, her eyes had become slits and instead of her beautiful turquoise eyes, they turned an orchid-violet color, "I'm a monster."

I'm actually kinda worrying myself...I never wrote the story out so...I don't even know what's gonna happen next. But, if you send reviews I might continue my story.
