This is one of the stories I transferred over from my other website. (visit my profile for full details) You see, OCxCharacter pairings were fairly popular among their fanfiction stories and it was common for one to write a detailed profile for their OC before starting the story itself. It was also normal for some writers to refer to their OCs from '2nd person' in their stories. But I will be changing it from 2nd person to 1st person when I transfer them over to this website. Be aware that this was my FIRST time writing a fanfiction, EVER! So excuse me if the writing is a bit…well, 'off'.

Yeah! Part 2 is finally out! Now with music! Hope all you wombles like it! ;) By the way, when I put words in italics and in brackets, that means the OC is "(thinking)", okay?

My Regretful Past (part 2)

I'm still in deep thought and my eyes are still shut, though this time I'm sitting on the ground leaning against the fence.

Four years ago...

I was sitting on the chair in Joshua's room watching him sleep in his bed. I wasn't feeling to tired this morning so I woke up quite early just to visit him...in my pajamas.

"(Aww...he looks so cute when he sleeps. Wait! I don't like him THAT much, do I?)"

I see him turn over in his bed and continue to mutter about a new friend he made yesterday by the name of Chrono.

"(Geez, has he been doing that all night? It's enough for him to keep talking about him during the day, but all night?)"

I start to giggle lightly when Joshua's eyes begin to slowly open. I continue to giggle when he says "Hey, you came a little early today."

"Hehehe-huh? Oh-uh-yeah-I-uh-so I did. Heh." I answered, rather tongue-tied.

Joshua sat up in his bed. "Thank you."

I smiled warmly. "So, are you gonna get up or continue to sleep like a...sloth?"

"A sloth?" he replied, "Ha! Well as far as I'm concerned at least I don't snore loudly for everyone to hear."

I put my hands on my hips. "You think I snore?"

"Billy says you snore."

"So you agree with him?"

"Yes."

"Yeah, well..."

I grab one of the pillows behind him and hit him across the face.

"Hey! I get hit enough by Rosette." he said.

"Well now you have me!" I whacked him again with the pillow.

Joshua got under his blanket and stood up. "Fear me! For I am the fallen alien of planet-"

"Don't say it!"

"Ura-"

*THWACK*

Joshua was interreupted by another one of my pillow whacks. "I told you not to say it!"

"I'll get you for that!" he said.

I grabbed the door handle. "If you can!"

I turn the door handle and run out while Joshua chases me down the hall.

"Aaahhh! Ruuuunn!" I screamed playfully.

"I'm going to swallow you whole!" Joshua remarked in the same manner.

I continue to get chased around the house by Joshua holding his blanket around himself. Unfortunately our commotions wake up Nelly and Sarah who open their doors and watch us two run down the hall.

"What are those two doing?" Sarah asked.

Nelly yawned. "Yeah, it's too early in the morning...mm.."

"Nelly, go back to bed."

"Mmm..okay.."

Even worse, we both wake up Mrs Gene who stands in front of my path in her PJ's looking unhappy.

"What is the meaning of this?" she says.

I skid to a stop in front of her.

"M-m-Mrs Gene." I stutter. "Well I – "

I turn around and see Joshua running towards me at top speed.

"Joshua stop – OOF!"

I was tackled and I fell backwards and landed on my back with Joshua on top of me with the blanket covering the both of us. We found ourselves staring into eachother's eyes while for some reason his face was inches from mine. We both started to blush as he moved in when suddenly...

"Heidi! Joshua! What on earth are you two doing up so early?" came Mrs Gene's voice.

We pause and grin awkwardly at eachother, before getting up out of the blanket to face Mrs Gene.

"Sorry Mrs Gene. We'll both be heading back now." I apologized.

I turn to leave when Mrs Gene calls me back. I didn't want to be rude so I turn back around.

"Heidi," she started to say, I never expect a well-mannered girl like you to be so troublesome. If this keeps up I'll have to ban you from visiting Joshua."

I gasped.

"No Mrs Gene, it was my fault." I heard Joshua say, "I challenged her to a game of tag and I sorta got carried away so I scared her all over the place."

I glance at him and it seemed like he was…sticking up for me?

"Oh alright Joshua, I'll let you go this time." Mrs Gene sighed. "But no more noisy running games early in the morning, ok?"

I nodded. "Yes um..."

"Good now back to your rooms."

She turned and left leaving us two standing there.

"You thought I was scared?" I said, turning to Joshua.

"Well from the way you were screaming you sounded like you were." He replied.

I stared at him, unimpressed. I pick up his blanket and find the corner half torn from our little game of tag.

"Aw, are you still going to use this?"

Joshua noticed the torn corner of the blanket. "Yes but, you can have that part."

He takes the blanket off me and tears off a strip from the corner and hands it to me.

" You're giving me this?"

Joshua nodded, smiling. "Yeah! Let it be a token of our friendship."

I tear the strip in half and hand the other half to him.

"Here you go, you can take it with you when you become an explorer. That way you won't forget!" I smiled back.

Joshua took it and tied it around his wrist, before holding his out to me. "Friends?"

I finish tying my half around my head as a headband and take his hand. "Forever!"

Yes, friends...

One night I am resting my head in my arms which are on the side of Joshua's bed; in other words, I'm fast asleep. Joshua is out of bed standing at the window staring at what looked like an eagle.

"Don't you think that it's unfair?" The voice was coming from it. "Your powers allow you to heal the sick, this is why they are still alive. Yet you yourself are condemned to waste away from this illness. Do you desire strength?"

A pair of horns appeared in the air in front of Joshua.

"If you do, then accept these! The horns of he who has slain a hundred demons!"

Joshua took them without question.

Later...

"AAAAAAAAHHH!!"

I lift my head from my arms and see Joshua with his head in his hands, screaming.

I run over. "Joshua! What's wrong?!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!" he screamed again, "AAAAHHHH!"

"JOSHUA!!"

He was screaming so loudly I thought his head would split. Suddenly, two horns shot out of his head splattering blood all over the place, even me. I covered my face to avoid the shower. When I took my hand away his blood was all over me. On the other side of the door to the room everyone else at the orphanage was wondering what was going on.

There was a knocking on his bedroom door. "Joshua, Heidi, what's wrong?" called Mrs Gene from the other side, "Open up you two! Joshua! Heidi!"

The door opened to reveal Joshua with horns on his head smothered in blood.

I was standing beside him, facing him. "Joshua what's wrong? Why are you bleeding?!"

"My head..." he muttered.

Billy was standing there, looking shocked. "H-hey…snap out of it…"

There was a brief silence, before Joshua cried out suddenly. "WAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

A strange big light surrounded Joshua and exploded in all directions sending everyone – even me – flying backwards.

"How could you Billy?" said Joshua as he staggered towards Billy. "Did you think I LIKED being in my position? How could you, how COULD you?!" He put his hands to his ears. "AAAAAHHH! THE NOISE! NOT AGAIN!"

Billy started running away from him.

"SHUT UP!" Joshua was screaming. "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! NO! I DON'T WANT TO!"

A giant aura surrounded him and dived in Billy's direction.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" They both screamed at the same time.

Then the smoke cleared, and everyone saw Billy frozen in mid-air and turned into stone.

"Oh lord!" Mrs Gene exclaimed.

"EEEEEK!" some of the other girls were screaming in fright. I gasped, alarmed.

"The noise...it stopped." Joshua said, as he lowered his hands from his head. "Ahaha, I see now. As long as he doesn't move he won't make a sound."

I was too shocked to even think.

Outside all the dwellers of the orphanage were running in all directions from the building. I ran too, I ran so quickly I didn't even know what to think. I just ran. I ran until I bumped into Rosette who was standing outside.

"Where have you been?!" I asked her.

"Heidi!" she said, "What's going on? Where's Joshua?"

"The whole place has gone nuts! Joshua's – "

I heard a voice behind her shout, "STAY BAAAAAACK!"

"Look out!" I say, and push Rosette out of the way as a large blast of wind and energy exploded from the orphanage.

After the blast, the result was unbelievable! Everything was frozen in time. I was in so much shock; I didn't wait for anything else to happen. I got up and left the place.

"Heidi!" Rosette called out to me, "HEIDI!!"

"(I'm sorry, Rosette, Joshua. I don't know what to do!)"

I continued to run through the forest until I reached the edge. I continued to run through the country until I reached the nearest town where I stayed...until now.

.....

I woke up from my deep thought and looked at my watch. I had been asleep for two hours! Standing up, I reached into my cardigan's pocket and pulled out a raggy strip of material. An image of the promise I made with Joshua flashed into my mind and my hand clutched the rag.

"(I will keep my promise. I WILL save you, Joshua!)"


Heehaw! That was all wombles! Just when you thought things were going to happen...Mrs Gene starts talking! Up next, the REAL Rosette and Chrono will finally make an appearance in the next chapter.
