A/N Another instrumental. I had a bit of trouble with this one, but hope it came out well!

PS Yes I have lots of instrumental music in my music player. It helps me write (now, in more ways than one XD)


Candide Overture – Leonard Bernstein

I've been called a "Happy Go Lucky" kid; one that has been carefree most of his life, even though that's not really the case.

I never had to deal with anything life changing. That is, until the FTi industry tried to tear down my neighborhood. My mission was pretty simple. Get the tomato incident document from Scheck and save the neighborhood in around 48 hours.

Little did I know that getting a piece of paper was going to take a lot of time. When I got the key to get the box containing the document, I thought we won. I thought the neighborhood was as good as saved.

But it didn't work out that way. Turns out Scheck took it beforehand. And then he burned it right in front of Gerald and I. He laughed at us too.

I remember running away from his security, my hope completely lost, and then I got a call that helped me realize his one flaw. Video cameras that record everything in every room 24/7 (24 hours and 7 days a week. My grandpa taught me that). I sneaked into the room, got the tape and was still trapped inside. There were guards all over the place.

And then, Deep Voice called again. Or should I say Helga?

Yeah, you heard me, Helga was Deep Voice. And…uhh…well…it turns out she kinda…loves…me.

But I couldn't really focus on what she said to me. I was just worried about the neighborhood. The good news is that we saved it from the bulldozers! My neighborhood is a historic landmark that can never be torn down, thankfully!

But…ever since Helga's confession, stuff had been kinda awkward between us. We didn't hang out, unless we're with other people, and, every time I saw her, I blushed a little.

It was weird. I'd never felt like that before.

Then came the contest that forever changed my life. The one she helped me win, since she edited my essay.

When we got there, I went on my own, away from the class, deep into the jungles of San Lorenzo in search of my parents. But I found La Sombra instead.

I don't think I would've escaped if Helga hadn't come at the time she did. She was the reason I found my parents. She came up with a plan to free them and fight La Sombra too.

At one point, we had to take refuge in a tunnel, the day before we put her plan into action, and I remember seeing the rain make her hair fall to her shoulders and look like Cecile. And then I realized it all: Cecile, Deep Voice, this…she WAS in love with me.

And I was too.


What do you think? Love? Hate? Somewhere in between? Let me know! Please send your comment, in review form :D
