Chapter Summary: The new Red is revealed to be named Fire. Green feels odd about him. Why does Fire say that Green should know him? Gold is slightly messed up due to Red's sudden disappearance before his very eyes. Ana has her eyes set on Gold, but what does Fire mean by he has to protect them? Fire/Green in this chapter!
Green sat down and stared at the boy. "Tell me. What is your name?" Green asked. The boy smiled. "I'm the new Red, but you can call me Fire." He answered. Fire, Fire. Okay got it. His name is Fire. Green sighed. "Why are you here?" Green asked. "I'm here to protect him and to replace Red." Fire answered. "No one asked for you to replace Red!" Green yelled. Fire scampered back. "I-I'm sorry!" Fire said quickly.
Gold curled up into a ball. Red's gone...Red's gone...Red's gone... A tear fell down his cheek. Red's gone...Red's gone... "Are you alright?" A voice asked. Gold looked up and saw Lyra. A lump got caught in Gold's throat, he swallowed hard. "Red's gone." Gold said softly. "Gone? What do you mean by gone?" Lyra asked. "He's gone. He's not with us anymore." Gold said flatly.
Fire cuddled next to Green. Green tried to ignore him. "Green..." Fire said. "What is it?" Green asked. "Why don't you like me?" Fire asked with a frown. Green ignored Fire. "Greeny!" Fire whined. "What?!" Green snapped. "Don't be mad at me..." Fire said as he leaned in and kissed Green. Green's eyes widened in shock and he decided to kiss Fire back.
A Few Months Later...
Gold put on his red jacket. "I'm going out." He called back. "Don't do anything stupid." Lyra called. Gold nodded his head and got on his skateboard. "See ya Lyra!" Gold yelled as he took off. Gold had changed ever since Red had disappeared. Sane was one thing he surely wasn't anymore. Gold now took to looking differently. Gold was wearing a black shirt with a red jacket overtop of it and jeans, he had on red and black shoes and had a gold and black cap on his head with goggles on top of the cap. Gold was determined to find Red. He kept on looking on Mount Silver over and over again, hoping to find some sort of clue to where Red had gone.
Gold slipped. "Ouch!" He shouted. Gold heard a snicker. Gold looked up and saw Tanya. "What do you want?!" Gold asked with a scrawl. "I came to get you. Green wants to see you." Tanya answered with a smile. "I already told him, I'm not going back. Not until I find Red." Gold said as he got up. Tanya was wearing a purple shirt, blue pants and pink shoes. "Oh come on. You can't keep on doing this! You're just hurting yourself!" Tanya yelled. "Well I don't care. I'm going to find Red." Gold said.
Green looked out the window. When will he get back...? Green was wearing a green shirt and black pants, he wasn't wearing any shoes today. Suddenly a figure came into view. Finally! The figure came running up, it was Fire, he was waving. Fire was wearing a black shirt and blue pants, he had on black shoes. Green ran out the door. "Greeny!" Fire yelled as he tackle hugged Green. Green laughed. "Hey Fire!" He said.
Steven looked in the window, he saw Green and Fire kissing again. Steven frowned. Stupid Green, going on as if his first love didn't even exist. Steven was wearing a red shirt and jeans and white shoes. "Coming Steven?" Mike asked. Steven nodded his head. Mike was wearing a yellow shirt, red pants and orange shoes. "Hurry up. Ash and Gary are waiting for us." Ricky said. Ricky was wearing a dark green shirt, black pants and black shoes. Mike and Steven laughed.
"It's nice to see you guys again." Ash said. Ash was wearing a blue shirt, black pants and red shoes. "It's been a while since we've seen you guys." Gary said. Gary was wearing a gray shirt, blue shorts and no shoes. Ricky nodded and looked out the window. "Where's Tanya?" Gary asked. "Out, Green sent her on a errand." Steven answered. Gary nodded. "We understand." He said.
Once again Gold got ready for the trip back down the mountain. Gold hated this part. It involved carefully moving down while the wind whipped snow at you. There was usually ice covered by snow so it was easy to slip and way too easy to possible slip right off the edge of the mountain. Gold sighed. Another day of searching for Red, another day of finding out nothing... Gold carefully made his way down the mountain.
Green hugged Fire tightly. "Don't be scared." Green said softly. Fire whimpered. "I don't want to..." Fire whispered. Green sighed and looked at Fire. "Don't worry. They will have to understand." Green said. Fire nodded his head. Green opened the door, Lyra was waiting for them. "Where is my brother?!" She asked. "I don't know...I'm here to replace him. I'm really sorry Lyra..." Fire said. "I want my brother back!" Lyra yelled. "I'm sorry...I can't give you that..." Fire whispered.
"Meet the new kid." Doctor Richard said. Green looked at the boy. He had brown hair and shining red eyes. The boy was only wearing a black t-shirt and jeans. "Hello." Green said. The boy looked at the ground. "Sir, why am I here...?" The boy asked. "Fire, you are here as our prized child." Doctor Richard answered. Green felt upset. I'm their prized child! I am not that boy! "And anyways I wanted you to meet our other prized child, Green." Doctor Richard said. Fire looked up at Green, smiling like an idiot. Green decided that he hated Fire's smile. "Hi Greeny." Fire said. Green scoffed. "Go away loser." Green said. "Fire is a clone of a child you have known before. He is to replace that boy." Doctor Richard told Green. "I don't understand..." Green mumbled. "You will in all due time." Doctor Richard said as he left.
Gold had finally reached the bottom. "Hey Gold." A voice said. Gold turned around and saw Ana. "What do you want?!" Gold asked in a annoyed tone. "I only want you to come with me." Ana said. "Well I don't want to go anywhere with you. So buzz off." Gold said as he turned to leave. "Oh Goldy...you can't just leave." Ana said. Gold's eyes narrowed. "Don't call me that." Gold said through clenched teeth. "You belong to me..." Ana said as she left.
