With my eyes closed, a flashback ran through my head.
"So... Does this mean we're friends?" I asked happily but the girl, who had bright red hair, wearing a purple dress with a pink backpack, laughed as she held her brown teddy bear by it's paw.
"No, Amumu. I just did it to help you stay happy you idiot! You're already dead anyways, since mummies are dead," replied Annie. I sighed sadly as I went away sadly.
Another flashback appeared in my mind.
"Watch out Annie!" I shouted as I ran towards her, as a blade flew quickly to her. I jumped and pushed Annie out of the way and felt a sharp object poke the back of my head, but I felt no pain. I caught a glimpse of Annie's childish face that seemed like she was going to cry, but she only shead a tear.
"Why?" Annie asked as everything went black.
I slowly opened my eyes as I saw a girl with long red hair staring down at me with a warm smile. And here I was, still small but now happy with Annie as my friend while Annie has grown into a pretty teenager. She had different taste of clothes than she had when she was a little girl. She often wore a red off shoulder top and jeans like any other normal teenager. But she wasn't normal since she can still summon fire and her teddy bear, Tibbers, out of her hands. I noticed that I was in Annie's dorm, which tells me something must've happened to me.
"Finally. I thought you were dead, even though you already are." I smiled back at her, noticing that she hasn't change. The only thing that has changed was her voice and maturity. She acted as if a teenager would act, and she doesn't talk like a dark child anymore. She was a bit nicer, and looked prettier as she grew. Her jokes were the only thing that hasn't change. I wish I would be like her too, but she's right, I'm already dead, and mummies are usually dead.
"Hey Annie." I replied as I noticed that I was on her bed and it seems like we were back in League of Legends.
"Come on, get up! I'm waiting for you," advised Annie and I gave her a confused look. Waiting? Why was she waiting for me? Why am I at Annie's dorm again? I got up lazily and hopped off the bed and waddled towards Annie. We both walked outside the dorm and the sun immediately shone its bright rays into my eyes. It was pretty nice day today, it seemed nice to actually play in. "Come on Amumu. I need to see the Institute of War today," announced Annie while I gave her a worried look. Usually, you would rarely see champions enter the Institute of War unless they were called to meet there by somebody. In fact, Annie has never entered the Institute the war except when she first join the league. I kept silent as we walked down the bright path.
"So.... How did I end up in your dorm? D-don't you find it strange that I ended up in your dorm?" I asked. Annie thought about the question and I hope it isn't a stupid lie.
"I find it a little strange, but you seriously not remember?" I shook my head and she rolled her eyes playfully. "This is why I can't be your friend Amumu."
"Oh..." I looked away from her sadly and she giggled.
"I was kidding. Stop being so sad," suggested Annie and my mood turned neutral. I told you guys her jokes weren't that nice but I kinda enjoy it. "You collapsed after our last battle because of exhaustion. You were hustling to always save me which I find generous but I felt bad for you. You know, you don't have to save me very often right? I can take care of myself."
"I'm just worried about you," I replied and Annie's cheek turned red. She wanted to hide her blush so she looked away. Too bad I already saw the blush. To be honest, I love saving Annie. It was the sort of thing I do as a tanky jungler. There are times where Annie's death total was flawless because I always took hard hits that was aimed towards her. "So you just carried me back to your dorm?" Annie nodded silently and I smiled warmly. "Thanks Annie."
"U-um, you don't have to thank me," stuttered Annie as she blushed even harder. I started to love the sight of her face now. It looked really cute when she blushed. Great, now my dirty mind is taking over. "Anyway, that's what I want to talk about." Her voice suddenly changed. It sounded like a depressing sorrow and regret. I shot another worried look but she seemed in a normal mood. Maybe I'm interpreting her mood the wrong way.
"I-Is everything alright?" I asked but she stayed silent for a couple of minutes.
"Amumu, please don't hate me when I say this," said Annie and something hit me im the gut, telling me that this was bad.
"W- what do you mean? I- I would never hate you for anything." I replied and Annie's sad look appeared. "W-What's wrong Annie?"
"Amumu, I know it's wrong that I'm saying this, but I'm going to quit the league," said Annie and my eyes widen at her in shock. I don't know if that what's she said, but I hated when champions leave the league. Most of the time, they were forced to leave by the orders of the Institute of War. Did they forced Annie to leave too?
"B- but why are you leaving? Did they force you to leave?" I asked but Annie nodded her head.
"I'm leaving league because of the trouble I have been causing around the Institute of War," replied Annie. The reason Annie gave me was because of trouble? That kind of pissed me off because she isn't the only one that cause trouble around here, and they're forcing Annie to leave? I clenched my hands into a fist in anger, but quickly let it go. Everybody knows what happens when I get angry, even Annie. If the Institute of War really gave that order to Annie, then I can't do anything about it. Though. I'm going to be really lonely without Annie. That last thought almost made cry out loud, but then it would catch Annie's attention.
"But where are you going to go if you leave?" I asked and Annie suddenly stopped to face me.
"I don't know, I just..." Annie paused as a tear fell from her eye as I looked up at her sadly. This was the first time Annie has cried, ever. She was no longer the dark child, she was more of a normal girl that can summon fire and a teddy bear from her hands. I walked to her and hugged her leg tightly and smiled.
"It's alright Annie, I'm here with you." I reassured her as I felt her crouching down. She then picked up little arms gently and hugged me.
"I'm going to miss you Amumu." I smiled with a small blush and hugged her back.
"I'm going to miss you too, Annie."
