Luna is just awoken and is on her way to get her next target.

But, she meets somebody suspicious. Who is this stranger?

"Only a dream. Thank goodness. I thought that I really had died. But there's no way that could happen," she nervously chuckled as she glowed intensely. "I had better get some more sleep." Just as she laid back down on the boulder, there was a bright, yellow ray of light that penetrated the darkness. Luna squinted her eyes. She creaked on eye open with her hand shading her face. The sun rose up over the horizon, making the darkness of the night fade away. The brightness increased slowly over time. Shades of sunlight lit up the ground. Where shades of black used to be, there were now blankets of sunlight. Pools of light bounced off of streaked glass and collided with the water, thus having the sun's reflection showing in the water. Luna pulled back and covered her face because of the sun's intense brightness. She let out a groan as the sun partially blinded her. She was paralyzed for a few seconds before she picked herself up from the boulder and analyzed the beach.

"What happened to my glow? Oh, that's right. I had nearly forgotten about the day-to-night transitions of this planet. They are all beyond any comprehension or any form of understanding," she said sarcastically. "Now then, who did I say that I was going to get next?" she asked. Her mind was still a bit fuzzy from last night, but she quickly rearranged her thoughts and continued on. "Oh, yes! Amy Rose. She should be in the industrial area with all of those human artifacts and architects. LRS – 2, awaken from your slumber! Where is the individual known as Amy Rose located?"

LRS – 2 was in Sleep Mode. Its small spherical shape had now degressed into an even smaller spherical shape, motionless and seemingly dead. But, what sense could that make? Robots don't die. Do they? Upon hearing its master's words, it awoke from its Sleep Mode and quickly rebooted to begin its commands. WORKING…WORKING…REBOOTING COMPLETE. READY TO RESPOND.

"LRS – 2, I ask you, where is the individual known as Amy Rose located?"

SEARCHING…SEARCHING…SEARCHING…

Luna waited for a response from the machine.

SEARCHING…LOCATION CONFIRMED.

"Thank you. Where is she?" Luna asked. She was unable to contain her excitement.

VICTIM #003: AMY ROSE; LOCATION: STATION SQUARE; SPECIES: HEDGEHOG; GENDER: FEMALE; VICTIM'S GENERAL LOCATION IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 5,000 FEET AWAY; EXACT DOCUMENTED LOCATION: NEW STATION SQUARE MALL.

She was so proud to hear that kind of response from her companion. It was now only a matter of time before everything went her way. "Hee hee hee," she chuckled evilly. "I think that it's time that I pay a little friendly visit to Ms. Amy Rose."

As she was about to transport away with her robotic companion, she heard a rough, gritty sound. It sounded like the slow patter of feet sliding against the sands of the beach. Was someone following her? She didn't want that to happen. Was her dream coming true? That was never going to happen, no matter what! She nervously looked behind her and noticed a girl that had a light brownish skin tone; very black eyeliner around the edges of her eyes, shiny, yellow, glistening hair that reflected of the gleaming sunlight; purple high-heeled shoes; red, shining, ruby eyes; very large ears that could hear from a long distance, and a noticeably small stature. She had very little clothing on. In fact, the only clothing she actually had was two cloths that covered her front and back that had a square turned to an angle on them. Luna had no idea who this girl was; in fact, she wanted to know what the stranger was doing here at this beach at this particular time. The girl stood in the hot sand and stared at the clear blue sky. She just stood and stared at it. What was she thinking? Why was she just standing in the sand, staring at the sky above? It didn't make any sense to Luna. She turned around and stared at the stranger, because she was sure acting strange, just staring up at the sky with no motive or explanation as to why she was doing this.

The stranger stared up at the sky for 5 minutes before she was interrupted by an outburst from Luna, who was getting very irritated. "Hey! What are you doing, just standing there staring at the sky? What's your problem? And besides, you shouldn't even be here!"

"Why should I answer to the likes of you? You'd never understand what I go through," the stranger snapped.

Luna gasped in "shock." "Wow, rude much! Very funny, Little Miss Smart Mouth. Do you have anything else to say that you wish to degrade me with?" she said. She was slowly stepping toward the stranger. "Well, how about it? Any other smart-ass comments that you wish to throw in my face? Huh?"

The female stranger quickly turned around and lashed at her. "Leave me alone! I refuse to speak to anyone! Can't you understand that? I've had too many curses placed upon my fragile life every single day, I feel like I'm already destroyed! Must you add on more burdens to my life that I do not need nor want?!" she lashed out. She needed to calm herself down before she spoke again, so she quickly relieved herself and sighed. "You see, I lost my parents a few years ago, but that's not what's bothering me to death. My real mother is out there somewhere, but I don't know how to get in contact with her. Something that happened in the past caused me pain and hurt because it reminds me of her every day, and every day I have to live with the consequences of having nobody to love. The pain is so unbearable. I don't know what to do next. Maybe the Gods can give me a sign," she smiled.

Luna laughed out loud, which started from a silent chuckle, to a large outburst of laughter. She laughed so hard, her eyes began to water. "Are you serious?" she laughed, wiping the tears from her eyes. "You're absolutely serious? You just can't! You can't! Don't tell me that you're sad because of that! It's so pathetic! Your parents died, huh? Did they die because of your insecurities? People's parents die every day. They turn out fine," she retaliated. "I know. I've experienced it firsthand."

"You don't know what I've been through!"

"Been through?! HA!!! Been through?! What you've done is get a scratch on your knee. All you need is a band-aid to make the boo-boo better! What you described to me was an infinite, never ending black hole that you caused because of your own insecurities!" she laughed. The stranger was getting angrier and angrier as she clenched her fists and teeth together. "Don't tell me that you've been to Hell and back! There's no way that you could have! Pbft! If you went to Hell and back, you wouldn't have described this situation that you created for yourself. Dead parents? As if! The only thing that's dead here is you!"

"THAT'S ENOUGH!!! Don't ever…EVER…say that to me again!" she snapped.

"Oh, really? What exactly are you going to do? Cry on me?" she laughed. She began to put her hands over her eyes and tell a fake sob story, mocking her. "Oh, please, help me. I've created a future that doesn't want to help. I've been living in the past for all of my life. I've been weak and feeble because I refuse to try. Will someone please help me to do nothing?" she mocked. "HA!!! Complete and utter garbage!"

"Shut your mouth. I don't want to hear your damn voice again."

"So? What are you going to do?"

They both stood facing each other. The stranger stood on the far right, anger coursing through her veins and her mind focused on one thing. Luna stood calm and collected. She knew what she had found and she thought to herself, Yes. Another victim.

To be continued…

Chapter 6 is in progress. I'll be some time trying to come up with new material for Chapter 7 as well. Later.
