Saldivar

A three year old child looked up at his mother, well her feet really. He watched as they glided across the floor. Taking in every step. Since birth, Saldivar had lived, breathed, and loved dance. This came from his, Intergalactic Entertainer, parents. They traveled the universe, as entertainment from important people to anyone who was willing to watch. And now, all Saldivar ever did was practice dancing, from the oldest moves, to the newest, and the most loved. He could do it all, it amazed everyone that a three year old could do moves that some teenagers couldn't do, which made his parents even more proud of him.

9 years later

After traveling around the galaxy for years the three decided to settle down on a planet around the milky way, not too big, not too small, it was perfect. Soon Saldivar made friends with a boy named Kaleb, they spent all their time playing together. Sometimes Saldivar would teach him some of his own moves and Kaleb would teach him something about computers.

"So, I guess we won't see each other for a while." Saldivar's red hair touched his friends blond as he turned his head to talk to Kaleb. They both sat beneath an old tree in the freezing winter, jackets off to the side, the heat from their dancing and each others backs enough to melt the sun. They were panting hard and trying to eat some Pronju meat sandwiches at the same time.

"What do you mean, Sally?" Kaleb asked, his thin, tan hand going into his backpack for his laptop.

"How man times have I told you not to call me Sally?" He screamed as best he could, which ended up sounding like it was in a mock tone.

"What do you mean, Saldivar?" Kaleb repeater annoyed while starting up the computer.

'Better' Saldivar thought with a scrunch of his nose. "I mean my parents are sending me to THE TIME WARP ACADEMY!" He said regaining his breath in a proud, deep voice. "They won't leave me alone at home since they joined the military, and they can't find anyone else in our family who isn't in it. Plus the nanny they hired only comes at night."

"So, that's why you've been coming to see me more often, because you have nothing to do?"

Kaleb yelled upset with an expression between mad and on the verge of tears. Saldivar looked at him shocked, then mad, and finally seriously.

"Exactly." his expression was all three combined with a puppy pout face. They stared at each other for a moment more then burst out laughing, giving each other complements on their on how they managed to keep a straight face while doing that.

"Anyone would have given in, a lot faster!" Kaleb laughed, whipping actual tears from his eyes, tears of laughter of course.

"Mrs. Lourine would be proud!" Saldivar laughed back, thinking of their old drama teacher from last year at the private school they both attended.

"So, today I'll show you some of my favorite websites." For the rest of the day they watched videos, played some video games, and did a bunch of other things on the boy's laptop. And soon they were forced into their houses.

"Saldivar, the portal has come for you, you must go now. I'll go tell Kaleb you had to leave in a hurry. Your stuff is waiting by the portal." His nanny Medrey yelled to him.

"I can't leave without saying goodbye!" He yelled back.

"You can send him a letter!" She shoved him in the invisible portal before it closed.

Trough the portal, and over the hill

"Welcome, my name is Mildrid," She shoved her pointer finger up to her mouth " but you HAVE to call me Molly!" She opened her eyes from her huge smile for the first time and blinked. Saldivar did the same. "Um, uh, If you go to the front desk over there, then, um, they'll give you your room and schedule." She informed him finding her words. Saldivar followed her instructions, got his room, his schedule, and was told to go to the gym for an announcement for all new students. The whole time he thought of her. Later after the announcement he went straight to his room got out a pen and paper then wrote:

Dear Kaleb,

I'm sorry I didn't get to say bye. I had to leave quickly, I'm sue the nanny told you, she was sooo eager to get rid of me she tossed me in with all her strength! Well, sorry this message was so short, but, ya know, there are cooler people than you out there, and I am on a quest to meet them!

See you soon,

Saldivar

Satisfied with his message, he sent it to his friend. His thoughts soon drifted back to Molly.
