『I wonder if in my past life I was your slave and you was my master.』

In the middle of the crowd filled with laughter was a girl balancing on a big red ball, juggling 3 different coloured clubs, one red, blue and purple. She wore a 3/4 length baggy black pants held up by wide black suspenders over a white buttoned shirt with one long sleeve on the left and a short sleeved on the right shoulder, topped off with a huge ruby red bow around her collar and white gloves.. She wore pointy elf looking shoes with a bell at the tip, and a matching jesters hat, underneath was long pink silky hair almost down to her waist. "Umm, excuse me Ma'am... but who is she?" Kou asked the lady standing next to him, "why you don't know? She's 'The Nameless Pierette'. No one knows who she is, but we leave that be for her to entertain the children". With that mask of hers no one knew what her face was behind that mask nor her name. Back to facing her, she was foolishly dancing around juggling. She misses the blue club and it hits her on the head followed but the red then the purple. She follows through with a dizzy walk and falls to the ground. All the children started to laugh, and clap except one little boy who went crying to her. His small little body leaned on to hers and gave her a hug and asks, "are you alright? Your poor head!" He started patting her head. She drew a smile on her mask from middle to the sides, and picked him up and threw him on her shoulders.

On her unicycle she rides around the fountain with the boy on her shoulder, and takes him back to his mother. She goes back into the middle of the show and takes a bow. A large hand thumped onto her shoulder making her jump a bit. "Miss, do you have a license?" She slowly turned around and saw 2 cops standing behind her.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small ball, she dropped the ball to the ground and a huge colourful smoke came from the ball. The cops started waving their arms around to clear the smoke and realised she went missing. They saw her escape into the alleyway. They chased after her and saw no one in site. They look around in shock wondering where she would have gone, the windows are to high to jump, there was a sewage lid on the ground which has been opened a bit, and a fence straight ahead.  One of them checked the sewer and then closed the lid while the other investigated the fence.
