A spirit of a girl awoke from non-being.
Where am I? What Am I? A light... What is that light?
Her tiny hand reached for the light and felt its warmth.
So warm. It feels so warm.
She heard a voice, a young boy's voice.
"Oh! Finished already. But I'm still hungry"
That voice.
She reached further and heard another voice, a young girl's too.
"Thank you! I shall be going now, then."
Who are they? I must know.
Through the light where the voices come from, an orb floats from the depths of nothingness. The spirit came out as the ghost of the past, a memory-child, reaching out her hand towards the young boy coldly observing the surrounding.
"Mmm... I still need more food," the boy said and walked away.
The spirit's orb passed through the boy's hand, but it can still hear the voice.
"A friend." the spirit said through the mist. She remembered a distant memory of a person close to her heart. "Friend... I HAD a friend."
It hovered over the boy's head who was walking around then slowly grew bigger without the boy noticing. It took the form of a blue-haired little girl and appeared behind him.
"Mmm... Ice cream." the boy said while eating a strawberry ice cream. "FOOD IS NOMMY?" the blue-haired girl said. The boy looked behind him startled. When he saw the little girl, he said "YES." "Will you be Hope's friend too? But Cray will be Hope's bestest friend!" she asked the boy. "Sure my name is River Wolfert." the boy replied. She looked at the boy and said, "I'm Hope, but everyone calls me Hop." she pouted. "It's ok. Don't be sad. I'll call you Hope." River said then offered her the ice cream. "Ice cream?" The little girl smiled as she took the ice cream.
Just then, another girl came running and bumped into River. "Oops. I am sorry. Were you hurt?" The girl asked. "What is this?" Hope asked. The girl looked at Hope. "What is what?" she asked Hope. Hope twitched her head to the left and asked, "Did'ya know ice cream is nommy?" The girl twitched her head to the other side and asked, "I apologize but I do not think I understand, that I don't. What do you mean 'nommy'?" Hope stepped closer to the girl then answered, "NOMMY is TASTY! WONDERFUL, ALL GOODNESS COMES FROM THE VERY ESSENCE OF. THAT IS NOMMY!" The girl thought of a word that most likely fits the description of what Hope just said. "Hm... Nommy... yummy. I get it now!" Hope smiled and said, "Will you be Hope's friend, too?" The girl smiled warmly. "My name is Myoku Reiko. I can be your friend, that I can. I'm pleased to meet you... uhm...?" "Hope Schefers, aka the Hope!" Hope replied with a smile. "I'm pleased to meet you, Miss Hope! And this fellow you're with..." Myoku suddenly remembers something. "GAH! I forgot! I am late for my class! I'll see you around, Miss Hope and, uhm... Mister Strawberry Ice Cream!" Myoku said as she ran off.
"YAY NEW FRIENDS!" Hope said.
