Thanks to everyone who reviewed, heres the next chapter...

I lay with my eyes closed for quite a while. I had had such a good dream, that I didnt want to ever let it go. I was having a birthday party, with a giant green cake, and my parents were with me. They had both given me heaps of presents and they even got me a new violin. I was really happy, because my old violin was getting to small for me. I looked around the massive hall that the party was in, and saw hundreds of people. I was happy.

I smiled in my daydreaming state, and decided to continue the dream. But for some strange reason, the me in the dream did not do what the me me wanted me to do. Instead of eating a piece of cake like I wanted me to, I walked up to a gap in the crowd. I slid through it and quickly found the door on the other side. I opened it, and found my self in a big gray room. It was tiled with bleak gray tiles, and in the corner sat my old violin. I ran over to it and picked it up, suddenly aware of the fact that it wasnt too small. I lifted my bow high, and brought it down to play my song.

It was funny how I considered that song to be my song. I never actually composed anything, or attempted to. It was just that one time I was playing at the age of four and my fingers started to play a song all of their own. I had no control over them. Over time I learnt how to play this song without solely relying on my fingers. Now it was my 12th birthday. I could at least come up with a name for the still nameless song.

"I look around this lonely earth
and wonder what has happened.
I started life with a happy birth
but now I start to cry.

My tear rolls down my cheek
As I recall my pain.
I think my tear will speak
for me forever.

I dont want to tell you
how much Ive suffered.
Right now all I can do
Is pray you understand..."

My fingers faulted for a second, and the beautiful voice stopped singing. I turned away from the wall, and found a beautiful face peering around the door. I noticed that a tear was rolling down her cheek, and no attempt was made to wipe it away. Her eyes just stared at me, and I stared back. She seemed to draw courage from my eyes, and stepped forward into the room, closing the door behind her. I watched her as she walked closer to me, at her pale skin and her bright pink hair. She had bright green eyes, which I though made her special. She was extremely pretty.

"Sorry for interupting, but I dont know what came over me." There was that voice again. It sounded like my violin at its best, and to me, that is the prettiest sound in the world. "I heard you playing and came over to listen, when suddenly some instinct made me come out and sing those words. It was so... weird?"

I watched her struggle with an explanation, not bothering to stop her. Her voice worked some kind of magic over me. I just stared at her, and wondered what came over me. I felt... Different. Like nothing would ever be the same again. I opened my mouth, and...

"Wake up Lee! Wake up!" I left my dream reluctantly. It was such a good dream, that I hadnt even noticed that I fell asleep again. And that girl...

"Come on Lee! I have a surprise for you" I opened my eyes slowly, and saw Tentens face looming over mine. She pulled me to my feet and started dragging me away. She could be so persistent sometimes...

"Hurry up! I cant wait any longer! The suspense is killing me!"

"Killing you? I have absolutely no idea whats going on and you complaining that its killing you?"

"You know what I mean. I want to see the look on your face when you see what I got you for your birthday!"

"You got me a birthday present?"

"Ooops, didnt say anything. You must of heard me wrong."

I looked at her closely, and saw her blush. She usually blushed when she was lying, but I didnt pursue the matter. I would find out soon enough. I thought back to the time when I met Tenten. It was when I was 6 years old.

Flashback

I was playing my violin on the streets when a little girl walked up to me. Her mother stood behind her, shouting warnings to her not to touch 'the grimy little begger'. It hurt me deeply to be insulted like that, so I put down my violin and started to cry. I saw Gai give me a reasuring smile, but turned my head away. Why were there some people in this world that were so mean? It wasnt my fault that I was a beggar...

I heard a scream, and turned my head towards the mean women, only to find that her daughters face was only 2 cm away from mine. I scurried back alarmed, but she just reached out her hand and wiped my tears away.

"Whats your name?" she asked.

"Lee," I mumbled back. Why was she talking to me? Wouldnt her mother stop her?

"Im Tenten," She replied. "Its nice to meet you."

"Then why doesnt you mum find it nice to meet me?"

Tenten looked around and saw her mother staring furiosly at her. She whispered out of the corner of her mouth

"Dont mind her, she can be very mean sometimes. For example, for my 6th birthday yesterday, she only gave me 100. She usually gives me more."

I looked at her incredulously, for then I thought that 100 was a fortune. She started to blush as she called out to her mum

"I dont like him. Hes ugly." I felt hurt. How could she change her opinion of me so quickly? Another tear rolled down my wet cheek as she turned back to look at me.

"I dont have much time to explain. But I will come back, I promise."

She had come back, against her mothers will, and we had become best friends. It was an unlikely friendship between a beggar and the richest kid in town, but we managed it. News had gotten round of our friendship, and we just hoped that Tentens mother didnt find out.

"Here we are!" Tenten announced excitedly. I looked at the big sign outside the restraunt.

"But Tenten, this is the most expensive restraunt in town!"

"I know. I feel really bad for never getting you a birthday present, but Ive been saving up my money. Get ready for the best day of your life!"

She dragged me into the empty restraunt and a waiter approached us. He smiled at Tenten, who was probably a regular customer, but frowned at me. He had probably seen me on the streets at some point, and knew that I had no money. But he stayed silent as he lead Tenten and I to a table already loaded with food. The smell was so good, that I almost fainted then and there.

"Dig in Lee!" Tenten ordered me. I looked at her, and she looked right back at me.

"But, but..."

"NO BUTS! EAT!"

I quickly dropped the subject, and picked up an apple. Thats what I usually had every day to eat. An apple. If I was lucky, Tenten sometimes bought me food. I had no money to buy food, for I always bought Tenten a birthday present. Though they were inexpensive, she liked them. Or so she said, but she didnt blush once. Not even when I gave her that necklace...

"Not the apple, Lee. Eat the actually food! This is my treat to you."

I picked up a spring roll, and carefully took a bite...

All the food was gone within half an hour. I had never eaten so much in my entire life, or as far back as I can remember. And the food had tasted so good! Tenten signalled the waiter, and he came after about 5 minutes.

"Sorry ms, I was on the phone. Ah yes, Ill bring it in right away," and he disappeared. I looked at Tenten, and she blushed. There was more? Just what was she planning? I looked in the direction that the waiter had gone, and looked on in surprise as he returned with a cake. On the cake were 12 candles. I stared at the cake, and a recording slowly came on. It seemed to be repeating the words 'happy birthday'. Tenten was singing along with it, and the waiter stared at her boredly. I knew that if it wasnt for the money, he would have gotten rid of her quickly.

"Blow out the candle Lee! Make a wish!" I closed my eyes slowly and made a silent wish. I held breathed in, then out. Then in, then out. I opened my eyes slowly, and looked at the flaming candles. How was I meant to blow them all out at once? They were all in different spots on the cake! Maybe I should just...

"No Lee! Blow on it! You'll burn yourself!" Her shout was too late, for I had already extinguished the candles. Sure, my hands were a little burnt from sweeping them over the wicks, but at least it worked. I heard Tenten sigh in relief as she saw my uninjured hands, and heard a bearly inaudible snort come from the waiter. Tenten looked at him, and he quickly left.

"Where did he go?"

"To get you the birthday present."

"You mean that that whole lunch wasnt my present and neither was this cake?"

"Nope. Wow, this was all worth it for seeing the look on your face. You should really see yourself!"

She cracked up laughing, and I just stared at her. Why would she go to so much trouble for me? I never spent so much money on her...

The waiter returned holding a big wrapped up box. I looked at it, then Tenten. She nodded happily, and I quickly tore off the wrapping the second that the waiter handed it to me. He walked away, and muttered something about Tenten. He obviously didnt like us very much, but that didnt matter now. I got rid of the last of the wrapping, and gasped loudly. It was a brand new violin, and the right size too!

"THANKYOU SOO MUCH TENTEN!" I cried, and threw my arms around her. She looked a little startled, then she blushed. I released her, and she said,

"Cut the cake. If the knife comes out dirty, you have to kiss the nearest girl."

I looked at her, and saw that she was blushing. So I took up her dare. I picked up the knife that lay next to the cake, and sank it into the brown chocolate. I drew it out slowly. Clean. I pulled it out quicker. Still clean. I pulled the tip out.

Dirty.

I put the knife down, and looked at Tenten.

"I was just joking, by the wa..."

She was quiet the second that I kissed her on the lips. She blushed even harder, and kissed me back. I might of blushed then to, except that I heard a scream in the background.

"TENTEN! GET AWAY FROM THE RAT IMMEDIATELY!" I let go of her to see her mother standing behind us, with the triumphant looking waiter standing behind her. So thats why he used the phone...

"Never mum! Ill never leave my friend!" Tentens cry was feeble, and had no effect against her mother. The big women ran up to us (How come she didnt fall over her stilettos?) and picked Tenten up. She reached out her arm, and I grabbed it. I clung on to her for dear life, but her mother just smacked me across the face.

"You no good dirty little beggar! How dare you try something like that on my daughter. Come one Tenten, were going. Far away. And you'll never have to see this dirty little rat again!"

Tenten started to cry. That was the first time I had ever seen her sad. She had always seemed to be a happy person, like nothing could ever go wrong. It was probably the last time that I would see Tenten. And her memory stuck in my heart, to stay there forever.

A brown-haired girl with watery brown eyes, tears streaming down her face. Her rosy lips were slightly open and I could hear sobbing. She was carried over her mothers shoulders, her arms reaching out for me. She leaned closer to me, and the necklace that I gave her hung down in the air. The pretty diamond glittered in the afternoon light, glowing with her tears. It was a gift to me from my mother, and now I had passed it on to Tenten. The last I saw of her was the necklace smashing into the door frame as her mother carried her away, and the necklace split in half. Half on the cord around Tentens neck, and the other half now in my hand. Now in my pocket, covered with my tears.

You have had a good sleep. Every since Lee made friends with Tenten, there was no need for you. Guardian angels werent need for people who didnt need guarding. But now that she is gone, he is alone again. Even the other beggers couldnt touch his heart like Tenten did. Not even Gai. So you watch over the boy once again. He has grown older since you have last seen him, taller too. Still mature. He walks over to the violin case sittin unopened on a chair. He picks it up and runs out of the restraunt. Watching again...

I arrived at my makeshift home, which was just a piece of cloth hung on four sticks that served as poles. It was only big enough to fit my violin under it, but I cared more about my violin then me, so it got shelter from the rains and snows. At least there was room for both my violins under it. I took out the new violin, and a note came tumbling out of the case.

"Have fun! Love you lots and see you soon! Tenten."

I wish that I could see her soon. I looked back at the beautiful violin that lay in my hands. It just had to be made of the most expensive and beautiful wood! I picked up a sharp rock, and started ingraving...

You watch the boy carve messily into the beautiful wood. He is done, and holds the violin at armslength to view his work. You see that the front was no longer symmetrical. On the left side of the violin, a message was ingraved. "For Tenten". If you could cry, you would be cry by the very sweetness of this act. But you cant, so you look on. You watch the boy place the violin on his shoulder, and pick up the bow. He brings it down, and starts to play.
