Farewell

Chapter Eight

~By Gina-chan~

 

         It had been four years. Four years since she had been reborn here. It had been hard for her. Hard for her to be a normal toddler, and now, a four year old.

        "Jeeze, I can't wait until I grow older. Then I can act partialy like myself," Swyft thought. Swyft toddled over to where her mother was.

         "Mommy!" Swyft said, holding her arms out. She had to be careful not to crush her mother, for she still had her strength from before she had been reborn.

       "Nine more years..."

 

       Swyft sat in front of the T.V. set watching a show called 'Dragonball'. She felt drawn towards  the show.

       "It feels as though I'm somehow connected to it," Swyft thought, watching a young Gokou run across the screen. She had just started fourth grade, and was a smart nine year old. She still hid her powers, but she still got an 'A' in P.E.

       "Just a few more years..."

 

        Swyft sat on the school bus, listening to her CD player. She was listening to the Gundam Wing CD; it was another one of her favorite shows.

          "Hey look! Its the girl that listens to Dragonball CDs!" a boy across the aisle from Swyft said. His group of friends started laughing. The boy slapped Swyft's arm to see if she was listening. Swyft ignored him. A minute later the boy tried again. But Swyft was too fast for him. She grabbed his arm and started squeezing his arm.

         "Ow ow ow!" the boy cried out in pain. Swyft let go. The boy glared at her and turned back to his group of friends.

        "Probly talking about me," Swyft thought," But it doesn't matter. In a few short months I'll be out of this dimension." Swyft was in seventh grade, and soon to turn 13. The bus turned into the school and let the kids off.  Swyft walked off the bus and into the school building. She walked towards her locker and found her best friend Ami standing there.

          "Hey Ami," Swyft said, turning the lock on her locker. Her locker popped open and Swyft took her binder out of her backpack and stuffed the backpack into her locker. She grabbed a textbook, and slammed her locker shut.

         "Did you put more Psyduck pictures on your binder?" Swyft asked, looking at Ami's binder.

         "Yep. Psy-y-y-Psyduck," Ami replied, making Psyduck noises. The two of them both liked Pokèmon, even though it was a dying fad in their school. Swyft watched the T.V. show and played the game boy game, but lately the episodes were getting pretty lame. They walked upstairs to their first period class, science. They walked into the classroom and sat down next to each other. They talked to each other until the bell rang for school to start.

        "Maybe I'll come back to this dimension to visit Ami," Swyft thought as the teacher begain the science lesson.

 

         It was 11:48 at night and Swyft was wide awake.

        "Only 12 more minutes. 12 minutes and I turn 13 and can return to my dimension," Swyft thought anxiously. Her Gokou alarm clock ticked as the minutes passed by. Swyft sighed. 11:57. 11:58. 11:59. Swyft stood up.

         "Time to become Rapyd again," she thought as she was transported out of the Core Dimension…
