sorry about the shortness of this chapter. Next one will be longer.
Tokyo, Japan. How to I explain it? A bustling city filled with lights and sounds. Elizabeth, Tom, Lenny and I walked around Tokyo for about 2 hours. Just the typical touristy sight seeing. Elizabeth was busy looking is every clothing shop she could find. Calling every single article of clothing, 'Kawaii!'
Tom was ranting on how we were walking in the anime holly land. I, on the other hand, was about to try something I've never tried before. Sushi. Spicy tuna to be exact. Sitting down on a nearby bench, I slowly took my chop sticks (that took me forever to learn how to use) and took hold oh the peace of sushi and took a bite.
" This is good!"I remarked to Lenny. Lenny look up and smiled. "Glad you like it."
Tom ran up to Lenny and I and said, " Oh My God!" He pointed to a near by store. " A giant Piplup!" He bolted down the block without another word. I sighed, it's a nice day, pretty warm for March.
I frowned, this is not where I really should be. I should be at school, throwing paper spit balls at my teacher. Not here, with all of this new technology.
Lenny noticed my frown and placed an affectionate hand on my shoulder. " You okay Foster?" I simply nodded, "Just pondering."
Lenny crossed his legs and leaned back on the bench. " Still a little new to this huh?" I looked at him. "Why, Mr. Lenny, did you choose me? A bumbling idiot from New York who has terrible grades." Lenny cocked an eyebrow and sighed.
" Because Foster, You may not pay any attention at school, but you have tons of energy and focus when it comes to sports. Am I correct?"
" How'd you know that?" I remarked. " Never mind that. Anyway you have the energy and stamina. We needed someone like you, to keep up with time. Not letting time get in your way. You will be the one who will be traveling, with your AI of course."
"An AI...?" He put a finger to my lips to shush me. "Don't worry Foster, I explain later, okay? Now. lets enjoy the wonders of Tokyo!"
Maybe Mr. Lenny was right, maybe I do worry too much.

Veronica's POV
My legs buckled as tears dripped from my face and fell into the dark elevator shaft that. I slammed my palms onto the ground. I stood there in pure shock as tears rolled down my face.
" NO!" I screamed into the dark chamber. " NO! FOSTER!" I noticed a ladder. Maybe I could go get him, maybe he is still living and is just trapped. My fantasy got the best of me as I started to run towards the ladder. Someone grabbed my arm. It was a police man.
" No! You can't go down there! He couldn't have lived after that fall. I'm sorry." My heart sank. " NO! HE HAS TO BE DOWN THERE! HE CAN'T DIE!" I screeched. He grabbed my hand, firmer this time. No Veronica, No." I sank to my knees.
Foster's gone. Gone forever. Accept it Veronica. Just let it go. I stood up and walked to the nearest bench. Feeling very dizzy. My vision started to fade. until nothing.
