Rika: Get on with the story already!
Me: Well. : [ Somebody's impatient. Fine I'll get started with the tale.
Bread and Buddies
It was mid-afternoon in a familiar alleyway as our thieves Kairi and Angel were about to feast on their food. Just as Kairi was about to take a bite she noticed two smaller kids picking through a couple of trashcans near where Angel and the redhead were sitting.
The eldest looking one of the two, an Irish monk, Brendan and his fairy friend Aisling (1) soon noticed Kairi looking at them and quickly began to cower behind the trashcans, fearful of what the elder girl would do to them now that she has seen them.
Kairi sighed sadly remembering how hard it was for her when she started out as a street mouse and looked over to Angel.
The pink experiment got Kairi's idea and huffed, "Naga! (No!) Meega (My) Chappati (Bread)!" and with that ate another bite of her share of bread.
Kairi then went over towards the kids and gently said, "Here you guys need this more than I do," the children still looked uncertain, "Go on take it."
Seeing no hint of deception in the girl's eyes, Brendan kindly took her bread, "Thank you, miss." The grateful monk said, "I'll tell the wolves not to harm you." Aisling added while hugging a confused Kairi.
Once the bread giving was done Kairi sat back down against the wall and closed her eyes. Angel who saw what just happened swallowed her bite guilefully and sighed as well, "*Kairi sure knows how to be nice all the time. *" She thought to herself in Tantalog.
The kids were eating their small (but even) shares of bread until a pink paw was holding a larger piece then theirs that belonged to Angel and she with slight reluctance gave hers as Kairi did before.
Aisling laughed and petted Angel on the head making the experiment blush in embarrassment though she secretly enjoyed the affection. The petting continued until the Andalasian fanfare played outside the alley. Out of curiosity, went out to see a crowd gathering nearby. Angel crawled until she was on Kairi's shoulder and sat on it to get a better view too. The duo saw an alien named Princess Mandie (MAN-DIE) riding snobbishly on a space horse who was looking rather rude too as they traveled towards the main gates of the palace.
"Who do ya think that is Brian?" A peasant named Peter Griffin asked his white dog, "Probably a suitor for our prince, she's a babe but 'looks are skin deep' so she'll last maybe a day, give or take."
Kairi didn't hear what the dog said last because she looked in alarm when the monk and fairy from before ran into the road playing. Unfortunately they just happen to run right in front of the snooty horse causing it to jump in fright.
"Get out of my way, human scum!" Mandie yelled angrily as she took a whip out and prepared to hit the little kids with it.
"No way!" Kairi cried quickly as she jumped in between causing the whip to wrap around her own arm just in time. "Gee, if I was a royal at least I could afford some matters!"
"I will teach you some matters!" The princess yelled furiously as she used her booted foot and kicked Kairi into a nearby mud puddle. Adding insult to injury, the crowd began laughing at her misfortune. Two figures then pushed themselves out of the crowd to see what was happening.
A fifteen year old girl (one of the figures) named Rika Nonaka, warring red sneakers with metal on the toe parts, blue jeans with it rolled up at the bottom a bit, a brown belt, a white shirt with blue sleeves, and a blue broken heart in the center, violet eyes and red/orange hair tied in a spiky bun looked over at the scene as a yellow fox-like creature mysteriously came out of nowhere and helped up Kairi.
Kairi glared angrily at Mandie then smirked devilishly then said, "Hey check this out, Angel and Renamon (who came out of nowhere (and is figure #2))! I didn't know there was a horse with two rear ends!"
The 'spiky' redhead snickered at the younger ones comment, "She might be a goodie-two shoes, but Kairi's has more bark than bite than that alien does~."
The horse quickly stopped, looking annoyed by the remark and Mandie looked back at Kairi in annoyance.
"You're nothing more than a worthless street mouse!" She snapped back as she, continued riding on her way, "you were born a street mouse and die one too. And only fleas and your freakish mutt friends will mourn you." The rude princess added putting the final touch on the insult making.
Anger boiled up to pure rage through out Kairi's body, and she got so upset began to chase after the snob but before she almost reaches the alien, the palace doors closed right in the redhead's face. The trio walked up to Kairi as she continued to glare to the doors.
"I'm not worthless," Kairi said angrily while looking up at the doors, "And don't' have any fleas." She unknowingly scratched her head while doing so.
Releasing a small sigh Rika said, "Let's go home. Renamon and swiped some pizza at a table when no one was looking earlier because we had the feeling you would would've given your food to some kids again." She ruefully smiled knowing well enough that Kairi would most likely have done that.
Sun had set as the four left the gates.

Kairi was still not over what Mandie said to her and felt so depressed about it began to sing.
Kairi: Get Outta my house, Street Mouse.
I never stole any blouse.
If only they'd
Look closer.
The four were no longer walking in the alleys and were walking up on a spiral staircase and ended up in a very small room that was hardly big enough for three people, let alone four.
Kairi: Would they
See a poor girl?
No siree.
With dust, dirt, bugs, and large holes in the ceiling it would seem like a terrible for minors but they seemed to manage and lived quite fine. There were three sleeping bags one pink with red hearts (Kairi), yellow with yin-yang symbols (Renamon), and a black one with blue broken hearts (Rika) while a small dog bed with frilly pillows was Angel's bed. They went to their respective 'beds' and began to snooze, except for Kairi who was still singing and looked over at a broken window that showed a great view of the kingdom's castle.
Kairi: They'd find out
There's so much
More to me~
The younger redhead sighed and with her foot nudged the sleeping bag belonging to Rika who was opposite of her. "Rika, are you awake?" the fourteen year old asked in a hushed voice, not wanting to disturb the unconscious digimon and alien experiment.
With a groan Rika replied, "Not any more. What's up? You're not still upset about what snob said earlier?"
Kairi brushed a strand of hair out of her face, "No. It's just I know I'm a street mouse-"
"A lousy one, no offence" Rika added in a teasing way. With a relationship like theirs, Kairi is aware of whatever Rika says is not in any way to be truly mean.
"I already know that it's just that is all I really know about me and nothing else, and it stinks."
Rika got the picture, "You mean you still can't remember anything after you were five?"
Kairi nodded, "I wish I did but I don't ever since I found myself in those ruins in Hollow Bastion. And if it weren't for you or Renamon I don't think me or Angel would've been toast."
"You make me sound like I'm a hero or something." The former Tamer said in a tired tone. (Which she was) "And if you're still up about your memory problem, just don't worry about it because the life you have so far isn't so bad. At least you and aren't at any dumb-old school or something."
They both laughed at that.
"You know," Kairi began, "I think things will get better for us someday will be rich live in a palace and have no problems at all."
"Great," the ex-Tamer chide, "now lets go to sleep before we make this a friendship fic instead of a romance fic." And with that both teens were fast asleep both unprepared to what might change their lives in a couple of days ahead.

Me: I'm soo sorry about not updating so soon. With the generic excuse of excess school work and homework and not typing yesterday has made it hard for me to work on this chapter. But I shall not give up until I complete this story and begin on my other ones.
(1)- The Secret of Kells is without a doubt a beautifully animated feature film and (I personally) should have won best animated feature film at the 82nd Oscars, Yes Up had a great story, but the animation in Kells is so wonderful and if you a chance watch it. (*Now praying that flamers, ranters, overly sensitive fanfic authors don't review and try and negatively review this one author's note.)
Me: I'm only saying what I my opinion is. Freedom of Speech all for it. Like before R & R with other viewers and you'll see my other OC and of course, the introduction of the Prince. 1st person to correctly guess whom the prince is I'll shout you out in my top author's note. (sorry I'm all out of red sports cars ;))
