Disclaimer: I do not own the anime, characters, maybe settings and a lot of other stuff that may be mentioned.

Has anyone noticed that the title is a Transformers reference? I've been wondering if anyone would notice, my other friends have. Anyway, I'm glad that you guys are looking forward to the next chapters. Oh, and also, I used google translate so please don't judge me for the Vietnamese used in here.


A baby bird hopped along the empty road without fear. A little girl runs up the road and saw the bird hopping and moving its head curiously to see it surroundings.

"How cute!" the child exclaimed. She had short, black hair that was tied into a small ponytail. She wore a green short sleeve áo dài with white matching pants and black flats. Her golden orbs showed signs of joy that she had experienced in her life. The child slowly approached the bird and stared at it with naïve curiosity. The bird gazed back and hopped towards the little girl. The girl kneeled down and placed her hands in front of the little bird. It fluttered its wings and landed into the palm of the girl's hands. The girl raised her palms to make it leveled with her eyes. She giggled by the tickling movements on her soft palms.

BOOM!

A loud booming sound came from a distance behind the girl. She turned around with surprise and fear creeping up her spine. The little bird was startled by the noise but did not move from the girls hands. The girl let the bird down and ran towards the village where the sound came from.

She was far from the village on a hill that was near the rice fields. Her feet seemed to have danced on the roads as she skillfully ran and jumped from the crevices and bumps along the road. The girl was small and did not know the feeling that raced through her mind for her parent's safety. She reached the center of the village which was empty. The child thought it strange for the streets during this time of day was always busy with rattling carts, the talking of people, and the funny noises that come from the animals.

The girl was scared and she ran towards her house that was several blocks away. At least one block from her house she bumped into someone. She looked up to see a man she had never seen before. He was tall and had strange clothing on. His skin was whiter than the feathers of a swan, his eyes were bluer than the sea, and his hair was golden like the wheat during the fall.

"Look what we have here," said the tall man. He grabbed the little girl and picked her up. She squirmed, trying to break free from the man's grip.

"Hãy để tôi xuống!" cried the little girl. Tears came running down her cheeks and fear clouded her mind.

"Let her go!" screamed an Asian man from behind the foreigner. The man had a rifle in his hands and the way he stood alarmed the foreigner that he was skilled at fighting and using a rifle. The blonde-haired man slowly placed the girl on the ground that ran to her father. He motioned the little girl to go inside the house to her mother and she obeyed or at least half of what her father had wished her. Instead of meeting her mother, she stood behind the wall near the doorway and peaked outside to see her father and the foreign man.

All of a sudden a loud bang was heard and a red liquid gushed out of the girl's father's head. He fell to the ground with a limp body, never to be seen again.

"Bố!" cried the little girl. Flames appeared before the doorway blocking her from getting near her father. The room started to become warmer and the flames had spread to the wooden walls of her home. Sweat formed from the skin of the little girl and she backed away from the sight in front of her, scared, terrified. The flames soon encircled her with no place to run and no one to save her. The rising fire engulfed her and the last thing she saw was the crying face of her mother.

"No!" Viet suddenly woke up from the dream, her hand reached out as if she was going to stop someone from doing something. It was dark around her but she saw that she was dressed in a pale blue night gown under a thin blanket in a bed. Her hair was down and her body was dripping with sweat. Beside her she saw a girl sitting in a chair and resting her head on Viet's bed using her arms as a pillow. Her hair was in two pigtails tied by red ribbons that looked familiar to the Vietnamese woman.

Viet stared for a moment to realize that who she saw next to her was a childhood friend that she was separated from for who knows how many years. The girl did not stir from the screaming that Viet had made from her sleep. So much for me training her back then to wake up even with the slightest shove, thought Viet.

"You're awake," stated a deep voice coming from across the room. The voice startled the Asian woman and she looked in front of her, to see a blonde hair man with dark blue eyes staring at her. Her eyes widened by the recognition of the man in front of her.

"You… How did you…?" Viet became confused and alert to where she might have been. "What are you doing here?" Viet finally brought herself to speak a full sentence. The eyes that slept her head on the bed slightly opened. Michelle looked at Viet, not comprehending the situation as she just woke up but then her eyes widened.

"Viet, you are awake!" happily cried Michelle. She hugged Viet and rubbed her face next to Viet's. The Asian woman became confused by the sudden action and situation. Lukas loudly cleared his throat to make sure that the women didn't forget his presence in the room

"The reason why I'm here," started Lukas, "was because we were saved by a man who was going to trade with one of the Asian countries but instead took us in and then handed us over to this fine lady who is hugging you right now."

"That's right Viet! Ah! Do you remember who I am?" asked Michelle.

"Of course Michelle. How could I ever forget one of my best childhood friends?" Viet's golden orbs became gentle but then squinted with suspicion as she stared at the Norwegian in front of her. "The only problem is that I see my enemy in the same room in comfortable clothing across the room from me who has the potential to kill me," stated the Vietnamese. Lukas' eyes were calm and expressionless, not seeming to care about the accusation from his enemy.

"I won't deny any of that but due to the fact that I am in a country that is neutral from the war that we are in and that she is a friend of yours, I'm willing to not cause trouble here… I'm going out for a walk," he said suddenly. He climbed out of bed and exited the room.

Viet thought that the man was strange by the sudden change in subject but otherwise, wise enough to not bring another country against him or the Europeans.

"He's telling the truth Viet. I have been watching him for the past few nights and he doesn't seem to want to harm us." Michelle was sincere and her eyes showed it. Viet sighed and was still trying to process what happened to her and her enemy.

"Can you tell me something Michelle?"

"Anything Viet."

"Who is he? How long have I been out? Lastly, does anyone else such as any of my nemesis, know that I am here?" Michelle giggled and was not surprised by the questions coming out of Viet's mouth.

"His name is Lukas and he is the representative of Norway. You've been out for nearly a week and a half and no one else knows about your guys' whereabouts. Viet's heart relieved as she heard the answer of her last question. She then recalled her memories right before she blacked out in the angry sea. Michelle saw the sadness in her friend's eyes and figured that she was worrying about her family back somewhere in Asia.

"Don't worry Viet. Your family will be fine. Anyway, I think you need some fresh air. Come, on," encouraged Michelle. Viet softly smiled and slowly got off the bed, trying to regain her balance. She and Michelle walked outside into the moonlit night. The light reflecting off the moon gently touched the surface of the sandy earth, making it look as if it were glowing. They went out barefoot. The sand between Viet's toes tickled and was soft. The touch was foreign yet familiar and Viet had closed her eyes and tilted her head back to breathe in the air that she had not smelt for years.

Afterwards, they continued walking to the beach where the water went in and out of the shore. They stood there, staring off into the sea. Viet then looked around to see if anything had changed about the village. Everything seemed the same besides the newly growing plants in some areas and the fact that she and Michelle were much older than when they had first met. Her eyes then reached a figure in the distance. She focused on the figure more to find it to be Lukas staring at the Michelle and Viet. For a moment his head turned as if there was someone else next to him and his mouth moved and seemed to have formed a sentence. Viet thought that Lukas was mysterious and strange. His head turned back and his eyes met hers. The Asian quickly turned her head away and slightly blushed by the fact that he found her staring.

"Let's go back. I'm still tired," Viet said suddenly. Michelle looked at her friend and smiled in understanding.

"Okay then." She then led Viet back to her house. Viet looked back to where she saw Lukas but did not see him. She shook the thought off and continued walking, starting a new conversation with Michelle about how she was doing after so many years of being separated from each other. Lukas watched them walk back to the small wooden house then leaned his shoulder on a tree next to him and placed his hands in his pockets.

"I think she's interested in you like how you are interested in her," said a small fluff with wings that floated next to Lukas.

"Are you serious?" asked Lukas. His eyes bore down at the small adorable fairy next to him. The white fluff did not take notice of the staring and continued to reply.

"Yes I am. Honestly, ever since I found you, you have been staring at her with intent eyes and right now, she just blushed as you made eye contact with her!"

"She probably didn't want to stare at her enemy that she's afraid is going to hurt her," Lukas stated. The white fluff with glittery wings shook its body as if to shake its head at the obliviousness of his master and sighed. Then again, they were born to be enemies. We can't always have two people come together, especially if they are from opposing sides. Hopefully this doesn't end like Romeo and Juliet, thought the fairy.

Lukas wondered and somewhat worried about the Asian female he watched. For the nights that he had seen her asleep, she was in a peaceful slumber. Earlier she had just woken up from what seemed to be a nightmare. Lukas stood back up straight and headed back to the house.


This was kind of a depressing chapter for me to write but I felt it necessary to do it now than later. Hope you guys like it and please R&R if you get the chance.
