Annime: Hello! How are you guys today?

Chiro: I'm good, but you're Miss Write-Like-Crazy!

Annime: (Shrugs) I also was talking to my readers.

Chiro: (Shrugs)

Otto: Annime doesn't own SRMTHFG or anything belonging to someone else!

Age 7 to 8

Chiro walked into the school building shivering. It might not snow in Shuggazoom, but it still got pretty cold sometimes. His was lucky his old Language Arts teacher, Mrs. Glad, gave him a nice jacket for a last birthday present.

"Hey, Chiro," Hunter whispered. Chiro turned to find Hunter standing in the same hallway as him.

"Hey, Hunter," Chiro spoke at regular volume. "What's up?"

Hunter looked around and took Chiro's arm. He pulled Chiro closer and whispered in his ear.

"How did it go in court, yesterday?"

Chiro rolled his eyes. "The same thing as every other time; they proved the orphanage innocent."

"Why is it some hard to prove that you're not lying?" Hunter huffed.

"I don't know, but whatever is going on, it's been going on since I could talk in English."

"What do you mean, Chiro?"

"Hunter, I have been fighting this with court since I could talk in English. That was during the year I turned one."

Hunter's jaw dropped. "They took you seriously?"

"Not at first, but after a while they saw I was being serious and started to listen. But, every time I talk to them, something changes their mind and they ignore my evidence." Chiro sighed. "This is a mess."

"Dude," Hunter said, "this is MORE than a mess."

Chiro nodded in agreement while the bell rang.

"Well, we better get to class," suggested Chiro. Hunter nodded and they both went to their first hour.

6:25pm came too soon for Chiro and he entered the orphanage with an emotionless face. He learned that at times this face can help.

"Go to your room, Chiro," the orphanage owner snapped. "I have an important call coming and I don't want you hearing it."

Chiro tilted his head in curiosity, but shrugged it off and did as he was told. It didn't have to do with him and he wasn't hurt, so why should he care. But, something in the pit of his stomach said otherwise.

Chiro opened the door to his room and dropped his book bag onto his bed. He took out a book and started reading. He was excited because he was getting to the climax and he wanted to know why Jill acted so weird.

"It's like she doesn't even care." Chiro smirked. "Yea and something has to be going on between her and that evil guy, Hands. She disappears every time he shows up to cause trouble…maybe they're friends?" Chiro shook his head. "I need to stop talking to myself."

Suddenly he heard a voice in the other room talking. It was only one voice, but it was as if it was in a conversation.

'He must have gotten his call,' Chiro thought. Something pulled him to listening to the conversation, so he opened his door to where he could hear what was being said.

"Yes thank you, Mr. Wakens…you help keep me in the clear…" the orphanage's owner spoke. "Yes, that boy is smarter than he looks... I know you have another court session to deal with…thanks. Cassidy, you know the woman who owns this place with me? ...Yea she's very thankful as well…ok, goodbye. It's great to have a friend like you in that area."

Chiro closed his door and thought for a minute. Then, his jaw dropped. Mr. Wakens was the judge down at the local court and he had a lot of power over whether the orphanage would be proven guilty or not.

A scowl swept across Chiro's face. "Of course…"

This fight would soon come to an end.

Annime: Whatcha think?

Chiro: It's nice.

Otto: Poor Chiro!

Gibson: Please review.
