It was just a normal day in the city and there were kids getting ready to go to their school. There was a girl who was very shy and nervous about starting school, she had just moved to the state and was already worried about making new friends. Little did she know, she would have her life changed forever. The same was said for a boy who only cared about reading and sports.

"Honey, why don't you go out and make some friends?" the girl's mother suggested.

"I-Is it safe...?" the girl asked nervously.

"Of course, dear..." the girl's mother replied.

The girl came out shyly, she wore a blue hooded sweatshirt, a dark green skirt, a blue hair bow, dark bluish purplish hair, and blue boots. She looked around nervously as she then accidentally bumped into the boy who was around her age.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going; I was too busy reading while jogging." The boy said.

The girl dusted herself clean.

"You're new in town, aren't you?" the boy asked.

"Yeah..." the girl said softly while shuffling her foot. "My name's Indigo."

"Nice to meet you, my name's Sho." The boy said.

"Sho?" Indigo repeated. "That's an unusual name... Then again, the people say the same about me."

"I moved here from Japan last year." Sho said.

"Japan, huh?" Indigo replied. "I don't suppose you're going to that school uptown?"

"Yeah, I've been going there a while." Sho nodded.

"Phew!" Indigo looked relieved. "I start there next week. I used to be home-schooled until my mother got a job to work with the governor of this state, so I have to go to public school now."

"That's good, it's a great place to make friends." Sho said.

Indigo smiled as she seemed to had made a new friend with Sho.

"Who's your teacher?" Sho asked.

"Mrs. Woolingantz." Indigo replied.

"Same here." Sho said.

"I guess I feel a little bit better now..." Indigo smiled. "I hope you have some nice friends."

"I don't exactly interact with other kids." Sho said.

"Oh..." Indigo frowned then.

"I'll be your friend though..." Sho offered.

"I'm really shy and quiet... That's why my mom home-schooled me..." Indigo said.

"What about your dad?" Sho then asked.

"He went on vacation a year ago and he never came back." Indigo replied.

"Sounds like he might either left you and your mom or died." Sho said.

"I wouldn't know..." Indigo frowned softly.

"Well, I'm sure that you'll be able to make some more friends at school." Sho said.

"I hope so..." Indigo sighed.

Sho then decided to come over and see the house while Indigo's mother was getting ready with the moving men.

"Mom, can I hang out with this boy until dinner time?" Indigo asked.

Indigo's mother looked very busy and a little too preoccupied. "Sure, honey, just stay out of trouble."

"I don't think that will ever happen." Sho said.


Sho and Indigo then went in the room.

"So, Sho, do you like superheroes?" Indigo asked as they came in her room which was mostly a bed and packed up boxes for right now.

"I sure do." Sho smiled.

"I actually have some comic books..." Indigo took out her backpack to show some.

Sho took one book and looked at the cover. "'The Adventures of Pie Girl'?"

"She's a girl who solves crimes by using her amazing math skills..." Indigo smiled.

"Never heard of her." Sho said.

"That's cuz I made her up..." Indigo then admitted.

"That's awesome, I made up my own superhero as well." Sho said.

"Really?" Indigo smiled halfway.

"Yeah, he as amazing strength and speed and can solve any problem." Sho smiled.

"He sounds amazing... What do you call him?" Indigo smiled back.

"I call him Sports Detective." Sho said.

"He sounds amazing..." Indigo smiled.

Indigo's mother smiled as she walked by, looking happy that her daughter was able to make a new friend so easily.

"Yeah and where he can lift up anything as heavy as building to a mountain and he is as fast as a cheetah and doesn't get exhausted." Sho smiled.

"I see..." Indigo then said.

"What does Pie Girl do besides solve math problems?" Sho asked

Indigo looked sheepish. "She eats and makes pies all the time?"

"That sounds cool." Sho said.

"I like pie..." Indigo smiled.

"3.14 or cherry?" Sho joked.

Indigo actually laughed at that.

"That was the only joke that I could think of." Sho said.

Indigo smiled. "I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship..."


The two then continued to hang out until it was close to dinner time and Sho and Indigo would meet again in school. Also, little did they know, they would get their superhero wishes, along with three other kids.

"That boy seems nice." Indigo's mother smiled.

"Yeah, he does..." Indigo replied. "Mom... Do you think I'll like school?"

"I'm sure you'll be fine..." Indigo's mother soothed. "It'll be a whole new adventure for you."

"I know." Indigo said.

Indigo's mother hugged her. "Get some sleep."

Indigo sighed, she still wasn't sure about going to a new school, but at least she made a new friend.
