Hello my name is Makoto and I live in a little village called Gato. It is a strange name but, it makes sense since our village has a lot of cats. Today is a special day because I turned 18 today. Since I turned 18 my mom Susan told me that I can get my hair dyed. I couldn't get it dyed before because my mom has been struggling with money after my dad died. Now she's a single mom who has to take care of me and my younger sister Rosie.
"Makoto lets go or we're gonna be late" said Susan
"Ok mom."
When I walk out in the village I always find it fascinating watching all the people use their powers for their jobs like Mr. Brown he has fire abilities that help him as a black smith. There are some people in our village who were born without powers like Mrs. Smith who is the dye trader in the village.
"Good evening Makoto" said Mrs. smith
"good evening Mrs. Smith."
"That lovely green dress your wearing matches you eyes" Makoto gets embarrassed and blushes
"thanks Mrs. Smith."
"It's no problem, I heard that your going to get your hair dyed" said Mrs. Smith
"yeah I've been waiting for this moment for a while and it's finally here."
"What color dye would you like Makoto" said Mrs. Smith
"hmmm can I have some pink dye please"
"of course it will really look good with your wonderful blond hair" said Mrs. Smith. Makoto proceeds to blush again
"Thanks Mrs. Smith, how much do I owe you"
"don't worry about paying me take it as a gift for your birthday from me" said Mrs. Smith.
"Thank you so much"
"it's really no problem now go to your mother she's been waiting patiently for you, have a nice birthday" said Mrs. Smith.
"Ok I will, you also have a nice day bye"
"How did it go" said Susan
"it went very well, I got it for free because she said it was a birthday present from her to me."
"That was nice of her" said Susan
"I wanna see what color you got sis, please" said Rosie
"ok, ok," pulls out the pink dye "I got some pink dye."
"Oooooo it's so pretty, can I have it" said Rosie
"Sorry dear but you have to wait till you 18 because your sister also had to wait till she was 18" said Susan.
"Awwwwww man" said Rosie
"look at it this way you just have 11 more years to wait" said Susan
"I know, but it's not fair that Makoto gets dye now and I don't" said Rosie.
"I'm sorry Rosie but I don't have the money to get you dye right now and it wouldn't be fair for you to get dye now and Makoto having to wait till she's 18 to get dye" said Susan.
"Ok mom" said Rosie
"now kids I've saved up enough Money to take you guys out to eat, I know it's not the best place in the world but it's better than nothing, plus today is Makoto's birthday" said Susan.
"YAYYYY" said Rosie
"Mom you really don't have to do this it's not that special" said Makoto.
"Yes it is and we are gonna celebrate" said Susan.
"ok mom."
As we are walking to go get food I notice Mr. James getting upset with Mr. Brown because Mr. Brown accidentally melted Mr. James favorite coffee mug. Mr. James is also my instructor to help me better use my abilities because unlike most people I was born different, I was born with two powers instead of one but, I still can't use them very well. I might be able to get a small spark here or their or maby even move a small pebble and that's about it. When we arrived at our destination it was a run down shack in the middle of the village.
"Hello Mrs. Jones where is Mr. Jones" said Susan
"he's out in the kingdom getting more food supplies for our little shack, now what can I do for you" said Mrs. Jones.
"Can I get three small orders of chicken legs please" said Susan
"of course you can Susan it will be $13.99 said Mrs. Jones. Susan takes 13.99 out of her pocket and hands it to Mrs. Jones
"it will be about ten minutes" said Mrs. Jones.
While we waited my mom was telling me that when we got home their was a gift from her and another gift from Mr. James waiting for me but, she wouldn't tell me what the gifts were.
"Order up" said Mrs. Jones
me my mom and my sister all said thank you in unison then began to eat our meal and not a single bit of meat was wasted. As we left we told Mrs Smith good bye and proceeded to walk to the house. All of a sudden someone yells
"the kings son is coming with the imperial guard's ."
