The small blue haired child wakes up to see a very large man with a mask on standing over him, reaching down as though to pick him up. Cowering in fright, he just sits there while the big guy lifts him and takes him to a wagon, shutting him inside. The child can hear the man gloating about how he managed to capture the brand new country, Catlandia, and no one else knew it existed.
Getting over his fear, he shrieks, "Help me! Somebody please help!"
No one answers. The child adjusts his green rimmed glasses and falls asleep, crying. A little while later, he wakes while the cart is still moving. He leans up against the door of the wagon, pulling his knees up against his chest. Suddenly, the door opens and he tumbles out, landing on his back in the dirt, hard.
The cart continues on as though it was never there. The kid stands up and looks around, seeing he's in a city he thinks he remembers seeing once before. It's pretty cold, and he walks around, trying to figure out what to do now.
After a while, he spots a small orange cat stuffed animal in the street; he picks it up, and, hugging it close to him, says "Hi, Chila. Will you be my friend?"
The thing doesn't reply, but the boy doesn't care. He walks on, and before long. he discovers he's really hungry, and he also has no idea where he is. He stops on the corner of a busy market street and begins to cry, Chila drooping in his limp arm to the ground.
Suddenly, there is a man in a red sweater kneeling in front of him, and next to him is a guy with white hair, sitting. The man in the red shirt asks, "Are you okay?
The kid's a little scared after what happened with that big masked guy, but he answers bravely, "I'm lost. I don't know where I am. Can you help me?"
The white haired man speaks up. "Of course we can help you. You are in Toronto, Canada. We don't know how you got here, though. Do you know where your parents are?"
"I don't think I have any parents."
The pair in front of the child glance at each other in shock, something passing between them. Everyone gets introduced, and the child isn't sure at first that what he says is his name really is, but after a moment he knows deep in his heart that it is. Gilbert looks at the child. "Blue, would you like to come home with us?"
Blue smiles. "Sure! Can Chila come too?" At their confused looks, he holds the cat closer to his face.
"Of course he can, Blue. Now let's go."
"No weird wagon rides, though, okay?"
The older pair laugh a little, then suddenly Blue is riding on Matthew's shoulders. This is fun, thinks Blue. Maybe they won't be like that one scary big guy with the mask who put me in a closed wagon.
Blue could tell that this whole thing was going to be great.
