Reunited at last- Mother 3.

I heard a voice. It was sweet,melodious and commanding. It told me to wake up. My eyes open and i try to focus myself. I feel like i just woke up from a really uncomfortable nap. I move my arms to rub my eyes but their strapped down?

I tilt my head upwards and i see...Two strapped down appendages and two stumps!? I can't flip, i can't freak,I can't do anything. I can't do anything. Then I move my wrist forwards and play with the strap, i put my fingers in between the buckle and undo it. I sit up and even that was a challenge. I have half the mind to breakdown because of how...bad a turn my life has taken so fast. But the more rational half starts to just take action and undo the leg strap. I swing my leg over and, out of sheer habit, stand. Only to fall onto my face. It hurt even more because i couldn't catch myself. I groan and crawl, i don't know where i am but I know it isn't home. I hear a voice. It instructs me to get something off of a table. I look at the table and I grab its leg and trip it. Wow, that would be funny if it was… I grab two metal doodads. They look like a arm and a leg. Protesthics. How do i know what these are? I grab a screwdriver and follow the instructions. It's hard as Nut Cookies but i did it! I put the arm on and move it around. It has the feel of a real arm. A black tint with a blue button for something…It's like an actual arm! I touch up the leg and adjust the screws that set the height. Perfect match. I grab the table to get a feel of walking around with them. I, then, realize that I need to go home! I hurry over to the door and my reflection in a mirror makes me stop. I'm thinner, a bit pale, my hair is longer about to my waist,It looked as though i haven't went outside in years! "How long was i out?!" I say out loud. Then an all too present voice came into the room and said "3 years." I jump and my arm clicks, causing a laser to come out! Shoot like a gun. How do i know what a gun is?! Wait...Is he my captor?! "D-did you keep me from my family?! Move now! I need to leave!"

"But you just woke, you could…"

"I DON'T CARE!" Tears made their way out of sheer fear. "My family needs me! A voice said the World needs me! So move!" I push the man out of the way and ran outside. I looked around for familiar territory. I heard pebbles crunch under someone's feet. I turned my head towards the noise. A young boy carrying a stick stepped out of the tunnel. He had blonde hair styled in a curve on the top, known as a cowlick. His shirt was yellow and red. The second our eyes connected we both yelled each others name. "Pollyanna!"

"Lucas!" We ran to each other, tears in our eyes, and embraced. We both had grown to be only a foot apart in height but I lifted him off his feet as we twirled. When i set him down he hugged me again. "I missed you!"

"I would say the same...but i don't even really remember being gone..I'm so sorry."

He shot that apology down. "Oh!" I looked at the cave he came out of. "Is Claus here too?"

He didn't answer but he looked down. "Oh…" I embraced him again. "He's out there. We..can look! Together as a team!" The child doesn't answer, he doesn't even look me in the eyes. "Lucas, look at me, look,look at me!" I used my right hand and force his head up to look at me. "We will find him." He grabs my hand and looks at it. "Wha...What happened?"

"I don't know.." I pull it back. "They were just gone." He hold my hand gingerly and our fingers intertwine. Cold metal and warm flesh.."You're still Pollyanna. Just Pollyanna with a metal arm."

I move my leg slightly. "And leg.." He rubbed his thumb on my organic palm. That was oddly comforting… Then I realized "What are you doing here?"
