Have you seen the word that said "a new guy" at Chapter 1? If it was not, go back and look for it!
This is his prologue. R&R!
HE SIGHED, looking at his dad's picture.
He indeed love his dad, despite that his dad had been kidnapped and . . . forget it, he though.
It was all about 2 years ago when he was in home to celebrate birthday party. He felt happy to celebrate it with Mom, Dad, and his friends. Such a miracle of life that he'd ever known, he was like a happily ever after Prince with Princess in Huge Castle.
"Happy birthday, Rusty!" they said.
"Thanks, guys! And thanks, Mom, Dad!"
"You're welcome, Sweetie," his mom said.
His dad just smiled, but Rusty felt that his smile was a huge gift that he'd ever been gave.
"Rusty," someone said, makes him realized that he was in his daydreaming, "my Sweetie." But it was not his mom—he knew who she is. Who's someone that just an air firefighter girl in Piston Peak is the one that brave to call him "Sweetie". And yet, he didn't shy to hear that, although Maru would laughed out loud and ask if they were going to married.
"What, Ms. Dipper?"
Not answering, she instead asked back, "What're you doing?"
"Just see my dad's picture."
"Aw, don't think it so much, ya know? Is better for your life for now."
"I wish I could . . . but my mind always going to him."
"Well, I actually forgot about what happened after the birthday party scene."
"Um . . . . That was some explode sound out of my house. We were scared, until I realize that my cake exploded—I don't know that thing will happened. As far as I know, my head was stroke with something big, makes me unconscious. And yet, I dunno what happened after my eyes opened, realizing that everyone dead, except me and my dad."
It was the thing that happened when he saw his father unconscious; not dead. But, something was behind him—two cars, a forklift truck, and a huge plane. He felt scared, so he didn't wanna move for protect himself. He knew that chose was not right, but he had no power to revolt them. He saw his dead was being carried by two cars, getting him in to the huge plane's body. So, what did the forklift truck do? He just commanded something that Rusty couldn't hear.
"I realized that I fell asleep, until it was morning. I woke up, crying. I then drove in to anywhere, looking for some help. At least, he—Mr. Blade—helped me and attended me. You know, when I asked to be a firefighter for my job, he said that I had to be more older than my age at 2 years ago."
It was still fresh on Rusty's brain about Blade who was not permitted him to be a firefighter. "You must wait for 10 years until your age is good to be a firefighter."
But Rusty said, makes Blade thoughtful for 2 hours, "But, we can try it, right? Life indeed doesn't always you expect it. But, Mr. Blade, you have to know this, what's wrong if I expect it? You know, hope is the thing that build someone to be someone that he or she want, right? If it was not true, then where did you come to be a firefighter? Is that the thing that was not your hope—like it was just from yourself?"
Blade had no vantage point to revolt that. Rusty was right. At least . . . that was his hope—being a firefighter—when he saw Nick . . . .
"I then trained by him and a year ago, and for now, I'm the second leader when he take his day-off."
"Yeah . . . nice story. Anyway, I never ask this thing before: who's your dad?"
"Ripslinger."[]
