                    oh, if only they knew...

                    she fans herself with her hand. while she enjoy-                            ed hot weather over cold, sometimes, it got jus                            a little too warm for her already ~200F degree body.                            perhaps she could learn how to turn down her tem-                            perature... without risking her life.

                    her red dress was in tatters, and she had nothing                            to fix it with. there was nothing to do. no money to                            buy new clothes, no books to read. she thought                            earth was supposed to be fun! oh, how wrong                            she had been.

                    that day, she wanders through the crowd, eyes tired                            and hair down from its four pigtails. she hadn't both-                            ered putting on her human disguise now, earning her                            odd looks from passersby. but she hardly cared. poin-                            ted ears twitched at each sound and her eyes flickered                            about.

                    a spot of green and blue caught her eye.

                    jerking her head, she began to make her way towards                            it before it got lost in the crowd. "vega?" she murmured                            softly, squinting to get a better look at the individual.                            soon, her amber eyes brightened when realization came                            over her. it was her brother! had he been here all this time?                            and who was this man with him? tall, dark, and brooding.                            that's the impression she got from him.

She laughs as the blue boy's fingers tickle her scalp, apparently struggling to secure the pink blossom in her mane of thick hair.
