Inner Core (Completed)

Chapter 3 *A Simple Robber*

(Shows a first person view of a boy looking up from the ground at a man holding a ruler in his hand.)

???: "Reo, I told you, you can't make a sound while sneaking past me. Now you have to be punished."

(The man raised the ruler up and slammed down on the kid cutting to pitch black. Reo jumps up out of his bed. He's shirtless with sweatpants on. He breathes heavily as he stands there. He looks around his room and starts to walk out of his room. He walks in the living room and sees Selene sleeping on the couch. He walks to the kitchen and makes some coffee. As he waits for it to heat Selene wakes up.)

Selene: "O-oh, hey. Thanks again, for letting me stay here. It's just being a hero doesn't pay that well."

Reo: "I know, it's the only salary I live off of."

Selene: "Yeah, what are you making for breakfast?"

Reo: "I'm making me a cup of coffee. You make yourself something, this isn't a bed and breakfast.

Selene: Uhhhhh, fiiine. Let me wake up first."

Reo: "Just hurry it up. We gotta go out early looking for that Kaen guy and maybe we could find other stuff to do. I just know I'm behind on rent and if I don't get paid a lot on my next paycheck, we'll both be evicted."

Selene: "Oh, well then I'm gonna make some toast, and we can head out."

(They eat their breakfast, get dressed and Reo brings his sword, then they head out to the city. They walk around looking for anything they could do that would make them money, but so far nothing.)

Selene: "This sucks. There's no crime out today."

Reo: "Who knew no crime would be bad."

Yui: "Maybe that's because of me."

(Yui jumps from a building and lands behind them.)

Reo: "Damn it Yui. What did you do?"

Yui: "Please Reo. I go by Kyoko around the city. I don't want anyone to know my secret identity."

Reo: "Uh, who cares about secret identities. Me and Selene use are real names, because we don't care who knows."

Selene: "Weeellll, Selene isn't my real name. It's my hero name."

Reo: "Damn it Selene. What's your real name then?"

Selene: "I can't tell you. Then my secret identity would be out. I can't let that happen."

Reo: "You're not wearing a mask of any sort to hide your identity, and why do you care if I know. We live in the same apartment room."

Yui: "Living t-together. Are y-you t-two, d-d-d-dating."

Reo and Selene: "No!"

Yui: "Oh, well it's not like care, but I think it's cool to have a hero name Selene. You don't have to tell Reo your real name if you don't want to, he's just a grump."

Reo: "Shut up."

Yui: "Well I better be off. I have to go stop more bad guys from being bad, Bye Reo. Nice meeting you, Selene."

Selene: "Nice meeting you too, Kyoko."

(Selene and Yui waved at each other goodbye, while Reo was happy she was gone. He was kinda hoping Yui would take Selene with her.)

Selene: "She's nice."

Reo: "No she isn't. Now let's go."

Selene: "Where?"
