Chapter 1: The dream
It has been a year since Todd left Brighton. Probably the best decision he ever made. He never felt so alive, all the adventures him and Adia have, all the moments they share. In Brighton, he was just misarable, he was only wasting his life there, he never had any friends there... Or at least he doesn't remember having friends there... He should have left that small town years ago! It was another great day as he and Adia where now in Tokyo, exploring the forest Aokigahara. As kid he could only imagine going around the world and now he can go wherever he wants with his best friend.
''Adia this is amazing!'' Todd said.
''I know right? When I visited that forest few years ago, I was also amazed!''
''Everything about Japan is perfect! Especially the food.''
''Haha same old Todd, only thinking about food'' said Adia smiling at him
They were walking around the forest for 2 hours now. How could Todd reject Adia's invitations to come with her for so long? He was amazed and happy at every place they visited. Only for a year they visited so many places together, more than he had ever traveled in his life. He can finaly be with her.
"Hey Todd, wanna know something interesting?'' Adia asked.
''What?'' said Todd smiling at her.
''Did you know this is also called 'the suicide forest' because many people come here to commit suicide''
''Oh... Well... that's kinda sad'' said Todd and then he saw something in the distance.
Between all the trees and bushes he saw a little girl crying. He was first surpriced to see a kid alone in the forest, but he assumed that she probably got lost.
''Adia do you see that kid?'' Todd asked and when he turned around, Adia was gone.
''What? Adia? Where did you go?''
The crying from the little girl got louder. He had no idea what was going on, but he knew he couldn't leave a little kid alone here. As he started to get closer to the girl, he saw what she looked like. She probably wasn't older than 13, had dark brown hair worn in a short ponytail, wearing ripped jean vest with white shirt, purple-pink skirt and red sneakers. He never met this kid before, but for some reason it looked so familiar to him.
''Uhhh hey kid are you ok?''
she continued crying
"Hey are you lost? I can help you" said Todd waiting for an answer.
''Wh-wh-why did you leave me?'' said the strange girl sobbing.
''What?''
''WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?'' the girl screamed grabbing Todd's hand.
''Hey hey calm down! What are you talking about?''
Todd had no idea what was going on. Adia just disapeared and now he was alone with this girl. But why is she saying that he left her? He never met her before.. Right?
''YOU LEFT ME SCRATCH! WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE A DREAM TEAM FOR ALL ETERNITY! AND YOU LEFT!''
This is when out of nowhere the forest started to collapse. Todd was terryfied and he couldn't move. How does this kid know his alias? What the hell was going on? He was supposed to have a happy evening with Adia exploring Tokyo... But now this is happening
''KID WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I DON'T KNOW YOU! WHAT IS HAPPENING?''
First the forest and then the whole world started to collapse. His feet where still frozen on the ground not being able to move as this girl continue to cry and hold his hand...
''PLEASE SCRATCH RETURN! I MISS YOU''
This is when Todd woke up terryfied and sweaty in his hotel room. Then he felt a huge wave of relief when he realized all this was just a dream. He remembered he wasn't in Japan. Right now he and Adia where in Vegas, and tomorrow they are supposed to travel to Grand Canyon. But what was that? Yeah the last couple of months he had many nighmares, but this one gave him goosebums. He looked at the clock and saw it's 4:30 AM. He laid back thinking who was this girl. It terryfied him, but... She was so familiar to him. He have never seen her, he doesn't remember anything about her, but he could swear he have met her once or twice.
Now it was 5:00 AM and Todd still couldn't go to sleep. He was only thinking about this strange kid. Why was she crying? Why was she saying he left her? How could she know that his alias is Scratch? Dream team?
This is when a strange song appeared in his head when he tought about that 'Dream team'. The dream team you and me, for all eternity... This song felt so famliar to him, even though he just made it up now. Everything about this dream was so strange, but he decided it's time to go to sleep. In 3 hours he and Adia will have to get up to go to Grand Canyon. Maybe he can talk with her about this dream. Maybe she can help him with something...
Alright. First to point out this is my first Fanfiction ever, so I tried my best to make it interesting. After the show got canceled I just didn't want to leave the story of the show like that. I wanted Scratch and Molly to meet again. So I decided to start this fanfiction... Hope all of you like it. I will continue the story...
