In a busy market district,a girl,about 10 years old,was checking one of the stores that was selling vegetables and fruits.She had dark purple,shoulder length hair with a pink hair clip on one side of her head.She was wearing a hooded jacket over her shirt and loose shorts.She takes an apple and closely examines it.The male store owner goes to her with a smile on his face.

Store owner:Those apples are fresh young lady.I'm sure you won't regret buying those.
Purple haired girl:Oh don't worry.I know your fruits are always the best.Thats why I always buy here.
Store owner:Well I just want the best for my number one customer.
Purple haired girl:Thanks.You're always so nice to me.
Store owner:Sorry but flattery will get you nowhere.No discount for you I'm afraid.

The girl blushes a little after her true intension was revealed.

Purple haired girl:Y-you got me there.You're as sharp as always.
Store owner:I have a daughter about your age.I know what goes on in the mind of a little girl.
Purple haired girl:Is that so?(giggles)

After awhile.The store owner hands the girl a paper bag full of fruits and vegetables.The bag was little overflowing and the girl was having trouble carrying it.The owner was worried a little with the girl's situation.

Store owner:You doing alright there? You seem to be having trouble carrying that.(crosses arms)
Purple haired girl:N-no...Its fine.I can manage.
Store owner:Why don't you get your boyfriend to help you.I'm sure he's more than willing to help.

Hearing that,the girl blushes bright red.

Purple haired girl:S-s-shut up! H-h-he's not my boyfriend!
Store owner:Then why are you blushing?
Purple haired girl:S-stupid! Anyone would be embarrass if you say something like that! Jeez!(pouts)

The man gives a loud laugh.He then pats the girl's head but she blushes even more which made her to push the man's hand away.

Store owner:Don't take it so seriously.I was only joking around.I know you two aren't dating. I mean,you're still too young for that kind of stuff.
Purple haired girl:Y-yeah,what you said.....(murmurs)
Store owner:Say hi to him for me.(smiles)
Purple haired girl:S-sure.....(nods)

The girl says goodbye and leaves.While walking,she couldn't help but blush again from the thought of what just happened.She shows a slight smile and giggles a little.

Purple haired girl:Maybe not now but I hope that "one" day though.

After several minutes of walking,the girl soon arrives in a run down motel.She goes to one of the rooms and opens it with key.As she goes inside,she shuts the door from behind her and place the paper bag on a table.The room was small and had two beds.Sleeping on one of them was a boy around in his teens.He had black hair and was shirtless but his lower part was covered by a blanket.The girls stares at the boy and blushes a little.

Purple haired girl:Me and Zero a couple? There's no way that will happen.Not in the situation he's in right now.Its a nice idea though.

She goes to Zero's bed and sits near him.She gently rubs his shoulder to wake him up.

Purple haired girl:Zero.Hey Zero.Its nearly noon.You need to eat since you skipped breakfast.

Zero slowly opens his eyes as he shows a sleepy expression.He gives a long yawn before rubbing one of his eyes.He looks at the girl as his vision slowly returns.

Purple haired girl:I brought you something to eat.(smiles)

Zero was still sleepy and simply close his eyes again.He response in a sleepy way.

Zero:Five....more...minutes....(murmurs)
Purple haired girl:Jeez.Thats what you always say.If you
don't wake up,I'll have no choice but to....(grins)
