A/N:

Hello,hello! I'm back! Hahaha..ha.

OTL

Forgive me. This one is uber short. But please to enjoy it dspite that. Thank you! R/R!

Alice stared out the window of the car, her hand cradling her face. Beside her sat Lettie, her eyes glued to the comic book she had at the table. It had a suspicious stain on the cover that sort of looked like ketchup. Ellie sat in the front seat next to Jonie, who drove with a mix of ease and hawk-like precision. The silver Lexus swept down the road toward the university soccer park where the tournament was being held. The girls weren't excited. Not in the least. This was just another boring soccer tournament full of sweaty boys running around kicking a dirty ball. After ten years of being around a soccerholic like Jonie, the sport was the least favorite among the sisters.

"Oh, my gaaawd…are we almost there?"

Jonie threw a look at his sister.

"You've been there a thousand times before, Ellie."

She gave him a blank stare. He sighed.

"'Bout an hour and a half more."

She pouted and reclined her chair. The back of the seat hit Lettie who flared up immediately. She looked up from her comic book with an irritated glare.

"HEY!"

Ellie yelped and tried to put the seat up but only succeeded in ramming it backwards with more force. Lettie shouted and threw out her arms which sent her book flying with the velocity of a torpedo-

Right into Alice's face.

She wailed and fell off the seat in a very ungraceful manner: faceplant.

But, of course no one noticed. The twins had started another of their arguments and it was evident they weren't going to stop anytime soon. And Jonie was just ignoring it, taking it in stride.

Alice groaned and didn't bother getting up. She laid her stinging forehead on the carpet in defeat.

Oh, gosh.

She hated soccer tournaments.

They arrived a little more than two hours later.

(Thanks to the twins' fight which led to Lettie "accidentally" spilling Juicy Juice on Ellie's new skirt.)

Alice clambered out of the car, keen on avoiding the twins altogether. They stood at the front of the car, glaring in opposite directions. Jonie gracefully unfolded out of the driver's seat and headed to the trunk, giving a sentimental pat on Alice's shoulder as he passed. She just sighed and shrugged on her battered Tinker Bell backpack. Might as well just get it over with. As she followed her bickering sisters and nonchalant brother, she noticed a child standing next to the entrance. She wouldn't have paid him much attention if she hadn't noticed his strange clothes. He was wearing green everything. Green tights, green tunic, green shoes. But what really piqued her curiosity was the red-feathered hat perched on his head. She finally realized she was staring when the boy turned to look at her.

More green.

His eyes were the greenest she'd ever seen.

But the vividness wasn't what really drew her in.

It was the sharp, strange knowing look in its green depths that both unnerved and

hypnotized her. It was as if he was-

"Alice? What's the hold up?

She spun around, her eyes wide with surprise. She replied with a breathless mutter at her brother's inquiry.

"Yeah?"

Jonie furrowed his eyebrows in curiosity. He crossed his arms and frowned.

"Are you alright, kiddo? You look like you've seen a ghost."

She shook her head, still wide-eyed. Her brother gave an uncertain half-smile and patted her head, amiably. He turned around to continue and Alice followed suit. She turned her head to look at the boy one more time.

Only to find him gone.

Her eyes widened and her blood ran cold for a moment.

Could Jonie's outrageous guess be right? Had she seen some strange child ghost?

Shivering, she ran to catch up with her brother. If she had turned around then, she would've caught the faint shine of gold and a flash of green.

The same green eyes watched her walk away with a curious gleam in its depths.
