~~Shina's POV~~

The couple opened the door after a few hours of waiting patiently (Okay, being a baby, I cried - A lot) and the woman squealed and picked me up. She looked at the man hopefully, who smiled and nodded. She squealed again and hugged me, waayy too tight, and skipped inside with me in her arms.

I remembered my entire childhood. I was named Chyna. As I grew up, I gained a little sister, Luciana, and Zoey and I became good friends. Luckily, I'd hidden the forms before I transformed inot a baby and Shannon and Jack, my 'parents', and they've never noticed it in my (at that time) seven years of life. I was always very knowledgable in class, as I still knew all of my old memories. It was like a chance to live my life again, and I loved it. One time, I was around Zoey's, and we were being normal seven year olds; talking about Princesses and the like.

"So... If I was a Princess, I would be Ariel!" Zoey finished, making me giggle.

"Why wouldn't you be, like, Cinderella or something?" I asked. She thought long and hard (If you dare put that out of context I will murder you)

"Because, I'm not poor! I mean, I live in a pretty house with pretty parents and pretty friends and pretty things surround me!" She beamed.

"Oh, Zoey. You have a lot to learn." I started. "Being beautiful doesn't make you rich! Being kind and honest makes you the wealthiest person alive. You'll have tons of friends who like you for being you and not for your beauty, and you won't need money! You'll have all of your friends. So, what I'm trying to say is, don't try to be beautiful. Beauty comes on it's own. Just be kind, okay?"

"Okay! You're the best friend ever!" Zoey chirped, before she pranced off to her parents for some reason. She came back shortly after, tugging on her Mum's arm. "...And she, like, told me everything! She's magic!" Zoey finished.

"Ohoho, really?" Zoey's Mum, Rebecca, smiled. (Okay, all of these people are fake. Idk how many Yogscast members I'll have)

"Yeah, but I don't know where it's from, because her Daddy's really stupid." Zoey giggled.

"Zoeya! Don't say that! I'm sure that Chyna's Daddy is a very clever man!" Rebecca laughed heartedly.

"He is!" I smiled, trying to act like a seven year old. "He can count up to one hundred, and back again, and can go up to five in the times table!"

"Wow! You see, Zoey, Chyna's Daddy is clever!" Rebecca crouched to Zoey's level.

"Well, still, I don't think he's as clever as Chyna. So, if you don't mind, I have to go back to being Ariel." Zoey smirked, before hopping over to me. Rebecca laughed and left the room.

A long time after, we went up to high school. We met a guy. I knew who he was. I knew that the two of them should stay apart. So, I tried my hardest to keep them away from each other. Zoey and the guy, of course. However, it had been eleven years since I'd last seen him, so I'd forgotten his name. Since day one of high school, I knew I couldn't keep them apart if I didn't know his name.

Zoey and I, however, were inseperable. If I went somewhere, so did she. We had been best friends since as long as she could remember. For me, however, it had only been nine years. I decided to hatch a plan; a way to find his name but to make sure Zoey didn't follow suit. I knew she would have to go to the toilet at some point. So, when she did, I would quickly run off, find the boy's name, and come back before she was finished. Simple, right?

~~Zoey's POV~~

Since I'd first gone up to high school, Chyna had always been edgy. She kept looking at this guy; a really cute, mysterious guy. I wanted to know his name... But Chyna wouldn't let me near him. She always found something else to do as soon as I even mentioned the idea. It was the first time I'd ever not been trustworthy of her. I expected it to be a race in her eyes; the first one to the mystery boy won. So, I hatched a plan.

I would pretend to go to the toilet, and she would probably run off to find him. I would then run after her, but search in other places. Better places. She was the sharpest tool in the shed, but she didn't have the fastest legs. She said, and I quote, 'She much prefered flying'. Whatever that meant.

The time came; a lunchtime on Wednesday. I smiled at Chyna and said, "I'll just be going the loo."

Chyna smiled back, nodded, and said, "Fine. I'll wait here, okay?"

I said sure and went to the cubicle. After a minute or so, I peered out of the cubicle again. She was gone. Just like I thought. I sprinted out of the cubicles and searched in the centre field. Well, everyone called it a field, but it was made from concrete with two big shelter areas. The mystery boy hung around there, on his own, just writing. I scanned the area and found him, before casually walking up to him and sitting next to him.

"Hi!" I smiled, startling him. He jumped and looked at me, before calming down.

"Hey." He replied. "Why are you here?"

"What do you mean? Do you not want me here?" I asked.

"Oh, no, not whatsoever! I was just wondering, because, well, I'm not very popular." He replied awkwardly.

"And...? I once got told that kindness gives you friends. Are you kind?" I asked boldly.

"Well, I'd like to think so..." He sighed.

"Well then! Look! You've made yourself a friend!" I beamed in reply. He looked at me in confusion.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"As soon as I know your name, we will be best buds!" I chirped.

"I'm, er, Rythian." He smiled, holding his hand out.

"Nice to meet you Rythian! I'm Zoey Proasheck." I shook his hand, and we giggled at our easy friendship.
