Erika sighs as she woke up.

Kiku has already left out for work.

Boy, she can't wait for Sora to be born, because she wanted feel more energy to walk freely.

She looked at the picture of her and Kiku in their prom clothes. She was wearing that scarf.

'I remember when Kiku and I first met.' Erika says with a soft smile on her face. It was when she was known as Lillian Zwingli.

Flashback mode now activated!

15 year old, Lillian Zwingli, sat in her aunt and uncle's car. Clutching her washboard and maker.

'Er- I mean, Lilli, are you okay?'

Lilli turns to her cousin, Anne Zwingli. She had long curly dirty blonde hair that was tied into a side ponytail and sharp emerald eyes. She was wearing a leafy green shirt and blue jeans. She seemed really tired with bags under her eyes. She never rested once while riding from the airport from Germany to America.

'Anne, you really should rest when we get home.' Her aunt, Marie, said. She had long wavy dark brown hair and dark forest green eyes. She was wearing a dark blue dress that reached her knees. She was looking at Anne with concern in her eyes.

'I refuse too. I don't want waste good day light.' Anne said in annoyance, then added. 'I also have lots of school work to catch up with.'

'I guess that you could call that a wise choice, Anne.' Her father, Karl, said. He had messy dirty blond hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing a red and black shirt and blue pants. He looked at his daughter in amusement, while driving the car. 'You really should slept in the place, like we did in the plane.'

'I can't sleep in moving vehicles. You know that.' Anne said in annoyance.

'You sound just like my brother.' Marie told her. 'Franz would com...' She quickly stopped at the sight of Lilli looking down sadly. 'I'm sorry, Lilli.'

Lilli looked up at her aunt and smiles at her weakly. She jotted down on her washboard.

It's fine, Aunt Marie.

'Alright.' Marie said uncomfortably.

'Alright. Here we are.' Karl announced, as he parks the car,then looks at Lilli with a smile. 'Lilli, this will your home from now on.'

Lilli looked up at her new home.

'I'll lead to your room, Lilli.' Anne said as she leads Lilli. 'Remember when you visited us in America one time?'

Lilli nodded.

'The room that you're staying in is the place that you'll be sleeping in.' Anne explained to her.

After everything's settled in her new room.

Lilli looked outside, she saw a young man around Anne's age holding up a bike and walking his down the driveway.

He paused, then turned. He noticed her! He waved to her, but Lilli felt top uncomfortable to look at him.

'Lilli, we'll be going out and filling in your descriptions.' Karl told her.

She nodded her head.

...

Lilli sat on the couch reading a book. She notices some movement from outside of the window. When right over to the front door to see someone standing outside. It was the boy that she saw earlier. He didn't seem to notice that she's there.

Without even thinking, Lilli opens the door for him. They both froze and look at each other.

'Hello, miss.' He recovered from gazing at her, then asked her some questions. 'What's your name? Are you a guest of the Zwingli house? Where's Anne?'

She couldn't stop staring at him.

'What are you doing here, Kiku?'

They both jumped and turned to see Anne standing there. She looked annoyed, obviously.

'Anne, I wanted to give you these.' Kiku say, as he came in and her the papers. 'This is the work that you've missed. I'm sorry for being a bother.'

'Thanks.' Anne said as she took the papers.

'Who's this?' Kiku asked as he looks at Lilli with a smile, making her blush.

'This is Lilli, my cousin from Germany.' Anne said as a she looked at Lilli softly. 'She'll be living with us from now on.'

'Why?' Kiku asked in interested.

'Her parents passed away in a car accident a while ago. That's why we're gone for so long.' Anne explained to Kiku.

Kiku narrowed his eyes slightly at her. Why does it feel like that she's lying?

Kiku felt a gentle tab on his shoulder. He turns to see Lilli holding up her washboard.

Hello, Kiku. I'm Lilli and I'm 15 years old. I can't speak, because I'm still suffering from shock, after seeing my parents die. It's nice to meet you.

'It's nice to meet you too, Lilli.' Kiku said as he held his hand out shake her hand.

Lilli shook back.

Then Anne cleared her throat. 'I think you've been here long enough.' As she gestures to the door.

Lilli felt slightly upset as she watched Kiku leave.

Flashback mode now off!

'I almost felt that I have never met him again.' Erika says herself. She looked outside, it was really cloudy outside. It's definitely going to storm out. 'The weather man yesterday did that say that there will be a thunder storm.'

Ding dong!

Erika walks to the door and opens it.

She smiles. 'Emma! Erzsébet! It's so good to see you two.'

'It's great to see you along Sora, whom is still inside of you.' Erzsébet grins at Erika. Erzsébet Héderváy, Erika's best friend. She had long curly ash brown hair that her back and forest green eyes. She was wearing a dark blue dress that reached her knees.

'I'm surprised that you're able to carry the kid.' Emma comments on Erika as she stares at her abdomen. Emma Von Peeters, another best friend of Erika's. She had curly dirty blonde hair that reached her shoulders and emerald eyes. She was wearing a black and white stripped suit. 'You're small body manage to carry your child.'

'Thanks, I'm excited when Sora is ready to come into this world.' Erika says with a smile on her face. She rubs her abdomen affectionately. 'I'll holding my first child and free to do house chores. Why won't you two come in?'

'Yes, please!' Erzsébet chirps cheerfully as she came in.

...

Kiku sighs as he finally had a brake from work.

'Man, this the most boring idea ever.'

'I agree with you, Alfred.' Kiku agrees with his fellow co worker and best friend since high school.

'I thought that we going to work translating video games into English, but I was wrong.' He complains.

'I know, Alfred.' Kiku says. 'I'm pretty sure that they'll promote us sooner or later.'

'I agree, at least we're being paid a good amount of money.'

'How's Lin doing?' Kiku decides to change the subject.

'Lin? She's fine. Nathan is energetic as usually. We've finally came up with a first and middle name for our daughter.' Alfred says, but he seemed really sad.

'Why so sad?' Kiku asks in a concern tone in his voice.

'We've thought of Claire as her first name, while I gave... Amelia... as her middle name.' Alfred says then there was silence.

'Oh...' Kiku replies in a sad tone.

'Amelia and I promised that if we ever had children... We'll give our kids middle names after each other. We thought of including Keith and Matthew, as well.' Alfred says as he smiles at that memory.

'I'm sorry, Alfred.' Kiku says in a sad tone.

'Dude, you're 30 years old, yet you still apologize for things you didn't do.' Alfred points out. 'There's no for apologies from you.'

'So- Thanks, Alfred.'

'How's Lilli bear doing?' Alfred asks Kiku.

'Erika?' Kiku asks, then a smiles slightly. 'She's fine. Sora's bond to come out any time soon.'

'I that she won't scream and squeeze the life force out of your hand like, Lin did with me while giving birth to Nathan.' Alfred says remembering that biggest painful moment in his life.

Kiku chuckles at that. 'I hope that Erika won't act like that either.'

Alfred laughs along with Kiku. He remembers that day when he first met Erika, but she was Lillian Zwingli at the time. He remembered saying something really rude to her without meaning too.

Flashback mode now activated!

It was the day after Kiku met Lilli. They were in their first class period.

'Hey, Anne.' Amelia yelled out.

Anne looked up to see Amelia and Alfred approaching her.

'What do you want?' Anne asked in slight annoyance. Anne returned to school the day after she got home from Germany.

'We were wondering if you would like. We could help you out with all of the missed school work.' Alfred told her with a smile.

'We want all of our fellow seniors to all graduate together.' Amelia said happily.

Though, the Jones twins maybe loud, hot headed and a bit rude, but they are also the best students and wouldn't let anyone be unhappy.

Anne looked at them, then sighs. 'Alright, I guess that I get some help with my English project.'

'YAY! Team work!' They cheered unison.

'Though, we could do it at your house or Kiku's house.' Amelia said with a grin.

'Kiku's house?' Anne asked in a slightly dumbfounded voice.

'Yeah... Apparently, tonight Mom and Aunt Clara are having a adult only meeting in our house. So Amelia, Keith, Matthew and I can't be in the house.' Alfred explained to her.

'Oh.' Anne replied as a response. 'Then you can study at my house. I can't work with distractions and noise.'

'Good!' Amelia said cheerfully.

They quickly dashed to their desks. As the bell rung.

'Matthew.' Alfred quickly whispered to his cousin. 'If you need us, we'll be in the Zwingli house. Next door to Kiku's house.'

'Eh?' Matthew asked with a questioning look on his face.

'Shhh!' Carlos shush him harshly.

'Sorry, Carlos buddy.' Alfred whispered to his 'buddy'.

Amelia sends a note to Alfred. He reads it.

He's not our 'buddy'. He doesn't even like us.

Alfred frowned as he wrote back.

Of course he does. We're Matthew's cousins. Anyone that's a friend of the family is a friend to us.

He gave it to her. She reads it, but doesn't reply.

...

English class was finally over.

'How about tomorrow, we'll go find the right suit for you, Alfred.' Lin told him with a smile. 'That's when my day is more free.'

'Okay, sure!' Alfred said with a smile.

'We'll find the right suit for you.' She said with a determined look on her face.

'Sounds great!' Alfred grinned at her.

'See you, tomorrow!' Lin waved at him, then left.

'Bye.' He said, then turned to Kiku and Matthew. 'I'll ask her tomorrow.'

'I'll wish tons of luck, Alfred.' Kiku told him.

'Thanks.'

...

Matthew, Alfred, Amelia and Kiku rode their bikes to Kiku's house.

'Keith will coming through the school bus with Yuki.' Kiku told them as they made it to his house.

'Okay.' They said.

'We'll be at the Zwingli house to help Anne out with her work.' Alfred told them.

'Okay, good luck.' Kiku told them.

'Let's go!' Amelia said as she sprinted out.

They made their way to the Zwingli house and knocked at the door. It opens to show a beautiful woman.

'Hello, are you Anne's mother?' Amelia asked politely.

'Why, yes. The school called me and told me that you were coming.' Marie said with a warm smile. 'Anne's currently doing a quick error. She'll be here soon. Why won't you guys make yourselves at home.'

'Thanks.' Alfred said with a smile they came in, then so whispered to Amelia lowly. 'She's more nicer then, Anne is.'

Punch!

'Ow!' He yelped in pain as he rubs his arm.

'Don't be rude.' His sister growled harshly as she glares at him.

'This is our living room.' Marie showed them.

'It's lovely.' Amelia said as she looked around.

Lilli came in. She was wearing the same scarf as yesterday.

'Oh. I forgot to introduce you to someone.' Marie said as she motions to Lilli. 'This is my niece, Lilli. She lost her parents a while ago in a car accident. She can't speak.'

She smiles as she holds up the washboard.

Hi! I'm Lilli Zwingli and I'm from Germany. I'm fifteen years old. It's nice to meet you.

'Aw! Hi, Lilli.' Amelia said with a smile. 'I'm Amelia Jones and this is my twin brother, Alfred Jones.'

Lilli smiles at them.

'Dude, why you wearing a scarf in a house?' Alfred asked Lilli in curiosity. 'It's not that cold.'

Lilli looked slightly uncomfortable.

'She just loves wearing her scarf.' Marie said with a smile. 'It's from her parents and she refuses to take it off.'

'I hope that she doesn't embarrassed when people look at her strangely while wearing that in warm weather.' Alfred said bluntly.

Lilli blushed in embarrassment.

Suddenly, Alfred finds himself being. 'WOAH!'

'That's it.' Anne growled as she dragged him. 'I've thought that I could trust you in our house, but the second I arrive here. You're being rude to my cousin. Get out!' As she pushed Alfred out of the door.

'What about studying with you?' Alfred asked in a confused tone.

'Amelia, will you not rudely comment on my family?' Anne asked his twin.

'No...' She stood there awkwardly.

'Good.' Then Anne slammed the door on him.

'Geez! What's her problem?' Alfred asked in confusion.

He soon heads to Kiku's where he sees Emi parking her car.

'Alfred?' She asked. 'Why are you on the Zwingli's lawn?'

'Amelia and I were going to do something nice for Anne and help her out with her late work. However, I just say one little comment on her cousin's scarf and I get kicked out.' He explained to her.

'Maybe's because that she's over protective on her cousin.' She told him.

'Yeah... I'm just going to head in and play video games with Kiku.' Alfred said as he head in.

Kiku was surprised to see Alferd back. 'I thought that you were-'

'I say one comment on her cousin and she kicks me out.' Alfred said in annoyance.

'What did you say to annoy her?' Matthew asked. 'Where's Amelia?'

'She's allowed to stay, because she 'behaves more better then then I do'.' Alfred said on annoyance.

'Oh.' Matthew said.

'So you've met Lilli?' Kiku asked him.

'Yes. Did you?'

'Yes.' He said. 'I've met her yesterday when I delivered Anne's late school work.' Kiku said.

The guys continue to talk. Then the front door opened.

'We're home.' Yuki called out.

'I'm tired.' Complained another voice.

'Hey! Keith! We're in the living room.' Alfred called out.

Yuki and a boy around the age of nine came in. He had messy jet black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a orange shirt and brown pants. He was Keith Jones, the youngest member of the Jones family.

'Where's sis?' Keith asked in curiosity. He loved Amelia among his two older siblings.

'She's in the house next door.' Matthew told him. 'She's helping our neighbor whom goes to the same school as we do.'

'Oh...' Keith and Yuki went over to do homework.

...

Pretty soon a two hours later, Amelia returned.

'I'm glad that's all done.' She sighed.

'How was it?' Kiku asked her.

'It was good.' Amelia looked at Alfred. 'Anne also wanted to apologize to you for her rude out break.'

'Oh...' Alfred said as thought for a minute, then walked out.

'Alfred! Where are you going?' Matthew asked as he caught up with his cousin with Kiku coming right behind them.

He didn't answer and continued his way to Zwingli house. He then knocks at the door. Lilli opened the door.

'Lilli... I'm sorry for rudely commenting on your scarf.' Alfred told her while Kiku and Matthew listed closely. 'I'm a little blunt at times that... I don't realize that it can offend someone. Will you please forgive me?'

Suddenly, Lilli hugged Alfred tightly.

He was shocked at first, but soon hugged back. 'I just that's your way of apologizing.' He looks up to see Marie smiling at them and Anne giving a small smile. Though it quickly fades away.

Lilli looked at Anne.

'Alright, I'm sorry Alfred. I didn't mean to do that.' She apologized. 'I'm just protective on my cousin.'

'It's fine.' Alfred told her. 'I've used to be like that with my cousin Matthew.'

'It's true.' Amelia said.

'WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?' Alfred yelled in shock.

'Alright, now that everything is settled.' Marie said as she clapped her hands. 'It's now time for dinner.'

'Okay.' Anne said calmly. 'Bye guys.' She heads in.

Lilli looked back at them and smiled at them, then waved.

...

'Aww. Alfred that's so sweet of you.' Coos a woman. She had think short jet black hair and brown eyes. She was wearing red and black pants. She was Amy Elizabeth Jones, mother of Alfred, Amelia and Keith Jones. She's bubbly, cheerful and outgoing. She's the type of mom that wanted to fit in with the kids.

'I love how you're maturing.' Another woman said. She had long wavy light brown hair that reached her mid back and green eyes. She was Clara Williams, the mother of Matthew Williams. She's the sister of Amy's late husband, George Aaron Jones. She's much more serious and stricter, then Amy is.

Nine years ago, George Aaron Jones was killed in a shooting. It was a few weeks after Keith was born. At the time Clara was living in Canada and recently divorced with from her cheating husband, successfully taking Matthew with her. When she found out about her brother's she drove down there. After, George's funeral. The two mothers got together in a bar. They somehow made a agreement in moving in together. So for the rest of the kid's years, they grew up being raised by two sister in laws.

'Pretty soon. You three will be graduating.' Amy said happily.

'I'm hoping to get into a college where I can work with video games.' Alfred said happily.

'I'm hoping to become a astronomer.' Amelia said with her blue eyes shining brightly.

'I'm aiming to become a animal trainer.' Matthew said with a smile.

'We'll support you two all the way.' Amy said happily.

Flashback mode now off!

'Amelia never got to make her dream...' Alfred thought sadly.

'It's time to get back to work.' Their boss calls out.

'Okay!' Alfred says. 'Back to boring paper work.'

Kiku sighs. 'I wonder how Erika's doing.'

...

'When this guy came up and started hitting on me.' Emma explains her story to Erika. 'He thought that he could hit on me. I told him that I'm taken and he continued to ask me.'

Erzsébet soon filled in for her. 'Then come in that...' She pauses and looks down at Erika's abdomen. 'Idiot.'

'Nice cover.' Emma says as Erika giggles at Erzsébet's cover up for her language.

'Thanks.' She says, then continues 'Hitting on Emma. Came up to him and asked him why he's hitting on my girl.'

'He's reaction was so priceless.' Emma giggles at the memory.

'To prove it. I took her and kissed her, like this.' Erzsébet pulls Emma by her chin and kisses her on the lips, then quickly pulled pulled away.

'His reaction was more priceless. He started yelling out. 'Why are all the attractive girl are always taken, lesbian or fictional?' Then ran out.' Emma says with a big grin on her face.

Erika giggles at that.

'Does Kiku ever get jealous?' Emma asks Erika.

'No, all the time. He only gets a little protective and possessive when a man is persistently hitting on me and I can't shake him.' Erika tells them.

'How many times does that happen?' Erzsébet asks her.

'I think abo-' Erika was quickly cut by a contraction and the sound of water dipping was heard.

The two women sprung into action.

Erika looks at them with a pained look her face. 'Guys, it's time.' The chair below her was soaked.

'Shit.' Erzsébet cruses under her breath.

'Language, Erzsébet.' Erika scolds her friend as she felt another contraction.

'Erzsébet! Start the car! We're going to take Erika to the hospital!' Emma told her.

'Right away!' Erzsébet replies as she dashes out of the door.

'I'm going to call, Kiku.' Emma says as she took of her phone.

Erika was in a mixture of joy and pain. She smiles happily. 'It's time!'

That's it for chapter 2 of Faded Scars!

What do you think?

We get to meet Anne in a flashback.

Alfred and Kiku are work buddies.

Alfred's happily married to Lin. They have a kid and new one coming around the corner.

Something bad has happened to Amelia.

We also now know that Erika's ready for her birth.

Please and review.
