    The Letter She Got
    iKittyRawrr

    iKittyRawrr, surprised, noticed a girl walking in. She had her light brown hair tied high in a pony-tail. Not giving her a single look the girl walked to the corner and ate some croissants. "Who is that girl?", iKittyRawrr pondered aloud. "That girl? She's a our usual customer, like you." iKittyRawrr spun around to find the owner of the café. She had the same curly hair as iKittyRawrr, but with two curls coming down her front. To some people, they'd think these people would be related. "Ah, I've never seen this much people in years."
    Kitty didn't have much new friends, for it was a familiar town with familiar neighbors and with familiar strangers. But this stranger was different. She decided to walk over to the girl and say hello.
    "Hi, are you new here?"
    "Hn? No.", the girl gave a short answer.
    "Oh, I haven't seen you around, though."
    She gave Kitty a blank stare. Awkwardly, she asked for the strangers name. "Hypercandy.", she said as she took a bite of her croissant. Hypercandy soon reminded her of a sloth eating a leaf.
    Just when the sloth-like gaian was about to speak, a squirrel scurried in. Without the owner realizing, it passed Hypercandy a message. "Better read it.", the squirrel said in a high pitched voice. This was strange. A SQUIRREL? And as Hypercandy thanked it, the squirrel took a piece of almond cake and zoomed away.
    This letter looked just like iKittyRawrr’s.

    Chapter 4
    The Girl
    Hypercandy

    Hypercandy was not really amused when the blonde female had the courage to meet face to face with her. She introduced herself, and her name happened to be iKittyRawrr. All Hypercandy wanted was time for her to eat her delicious croissants, and all of a sudden a stranger wants to know her business. It was people like her that made Hypercandy rather annoyed.
    After Hypercandy told the girl her name, a squirrel scurried in the café to give her a message. It told her to read it. When the squirrel left, Hypercandy noticed the blonde stare at the envelope with curious eyes.

    On Our Way
    iKittyRawrr

    The girl read the letter. She turned to iKittyRawrr. She noticed the letter in her hand and took it forcefully. "I see you're joining the clan as well. But this is utterly ridiculous. What clan are we joining?" Hypercandy didn't wait for her to answer before she took another bite out of her croissant. "I don't know. But we better pack. We're going to have to stay at Barton." Hypercandy nodded and they walked each other home. The owner waved good bye as they left. "GOOD FORTUNE IS AHEAD OF YOU!", she called to them. iKittyRawrr nodded. Maybe there is some fortune for us.
    The day after, both gaians met each other at the café. They ordered their breakfasts and had a short chat. "Any idea what's after Barton?", Hypercandy asked? "Haven't a clue. Never been there." After finishing, they bid their farewells to the owner. And headed to the edge of Towns to find the station. It was a long walk, unfortunately, but they made it to the station by noon. The trip was long as well. Two days gone. When Hypercandy fell asleep, iKittyRawrr knelt on the seat and looked outside the train's windows. Under the shining moon and past the far-away hills, is where Barton Town could be found.


    Chapter 6
    The Dream
    Hypercandy

    Hypercandy's life was completely interesting after that squirrel incident. Now she's traveling with iKittyRawrr. The blonde nuisance that bothered her when she was eating.
    Now they were in the train. Hypercandy was sleeping. Her eyes closed, and she began to dream.
    In her dream, there were many Gaians rushing up and down the hills. She notice that pretty much all of them were wearing rings. All of a sudden, a strange creature popped out of no where. It looked like a gnome, and it was attacking a group of Gaians. Then, Hypercandy realized that creature was an Animated. The group of Gaians attacked the gnome. Magic and weapons attacked it. And all of this were coming from the rings. Eventually, the gnome died. The group cheered in victory and went their way.
    For some reason, Hypercandy felt shaking. She heard a shout. It was iKittyRawrr's voice. She woke her up from her confusing dream.

    Chapter 7
    Barton Town? Or the Sewers?
    iKittyRawrr

    Hypercandy finally woke up. She looked shocked for a moment. The only emotion she showed besides her normal look and sleeping. "Hn?", she grunted, confused. "HURRY THE DOORS!" The trains doors were about to slide close. "RUN FOR IT!!", Hypercandy screamed. They slipped out just in time. Then, the girls walked up the steps marked "Exit". But instead of finding the busying town called Barton, they found themselves in the sewers! "WHAT!?", iKittyRawrr shouted. "They’re making this complicated! Nothing in the letter says anything about the sewers!" Actually, the letter barely said anything at all. iKittyRawrr sighed. "Guess we better go through it."
    Every step they took was followed by the drip, drip by the drops of water coming from the ceiling. Bubbles were forming from the water below. iKittyRawrr looked over the edge to find fish. Deformed fish. Fish with more eyes than a spider! "BLECH!" Snails slimed the walls the stench was horrible. The yellow brick floor was moldy after the aging. Tap, tap. Their shoes seemed unusually loud.
    After what seemed like hours iKittyRawrr and Hypercandy stumbled on their first animated! A Plunger! It glared at them furiously. "W-We don't have an-", iKittyRawrr stopped in mid-sentence. She heard flapping, like wings, then something heavy fell in her pocket. Searching through, it she was bewildered. She had a ring! Rings in Gaia were able to kill animated. Each ring had a different power. She had Solar Rays. Hypercandy pulled out hers at the same time. Guns, Guns, Guns. Her ring suits her, iKittyRawrr thought. Together the two aimed for the smelly plunger. A bright light came from iKittyRawrr's, stunning the plunger long enough for Hypercandy to activate her ring and the sound of machine guns shooting invisible bullets hit the animated. It collapsed and disappeared.
    iKittyRawrr discovered that man hole covers were the way out. Hypercandy pointed at several of them and iKittyRawrr tried them all to find the exit. "Why do I have to do this?", she whined. Hypercandy glared. "YOU WANT TO STAY IN HERE FOREVER?!" Finally they found the right one. They opened it to find the bright Barton Town. From a distance a girl was visible. She was painting.

    Chapter 8
    Our First Quest
    Hypercandy


    After the duo exited the sewers. They found a girl painting. She looked busy, but iKittyRawrr decided to disturb her anyways. "Excuse me, we need help.", iKittyRawrr said to the girl.
    "...I'm too busy painting." The stranger said.
    Hypercandy ignored their conversation. She was too busy looking at Barton Town. It had tall buildings and a beautiful fountain. After a few moments, iKittyRawrr returned to Hypercandy.
    "Well?!" asked Hypercandy, but it sounded more like a demand than a question.
    "Well...I found out the painter's name is Ellie! And she asked if we could do a favor for her now!", iKittyRawrr exclaimed cheerfully. Hypercandy flinched at this, but agreed to help Ellie. After all, they might get some useful information along the way.
