I suddenly thought to myself: This story needs an intro or theme-song and accompanying movie. I know my choice of song won't appeal to everyone: but there we go. Oh, and the intro will contain hints at possible future events so it's worth reading. Just try to imagine it as the intro to a new TV series, and enjoy:

Theme tune: Hero by

Would you dance

If I asked you to dance?

(Camera fades in on a twinkling, azure sky. The sun glimmers brightly and a flock of Wingull flies past, squabbling and cawing. Camera slowly angles down to point at a cluster of houses on the outskirts of a patch of leafy woodland.)

Would you run

And never look back?

(A girl in a green bandanna, skirt, black leggings, boots and a blue tank top bursts through one of the doors and begins to sprint towards the edge of town.)

Would you cry

If you saw me crying?

And would you save my soul tonight?

(The camera switches to a side-on shot of a boy in jeans, a white t-shirt and hiking boots. He is standing on a rock on what appears to be moorlands, and his black hair is ruffled by the wind. He tosses a poke-ball into the air a couple of times, reaches some kind of decision and jumps from the rock, off the edge of the cliff)

Would you tremble

If I touched your lips?

(A large, skeletal dragon-like creature swoops and catches the boy in a leather saddle on its back, before soaring on the sea-winds towards the horizon)

Would you laugh

Oh please tell me this!

(Shot switches to a rocky quarry-like area. A young man in his twenties, dressed in a sleuth-style trenchcoat and boots, with curly black/brown hair stops in front of a tall, black rock that seems to warp and bend the light.)

Now would you die?

(The rock begins to crack)

For the one you love?

(It bursts like a grape squeezed between finger and thumb, and a monstrous thing that appears to be made of pure shadow in 3D form beats its birdlike wings and takes off from the rubble.)

Hold me in your arms, tonight.

(The guy calls out a chubby, friendly-looking Dragonite, leaps on his back and takes off in pursuit.)

Cuts to chorus

I could be your hero, baby!

I could kiss away the pain!

(A shot of a lonely-looking blonde-haired teenager; looking down on a town from the top of a hill. Beside him, a tough little Ralts sits in a meditative position.)

I will stand by you forever!

You can take my breath away…

(A new shot; the green-bandanna wearing girl and the boy with the mousy blonde hair are sitting together on a rock, watching the sun set over the ocean.)

End Chorus

Would you swear

That you'll always be mine?

Or would you lie?

Would you run and hide?

(A shot of the boy with the skeleton-dragon, the girl in the bandanna, the teenager with the blonde hair and two girls in fashionable clothes standing together. Behind them is a Dragonite, but it is crying, with tears streaming from its big eyes. They all seem to be comforted by their closeness to one-another. A man in priest robes makes the sign of the cross, and the watchers break into sobs as they gaze upon the gravestone beside the vicar.)

I don't care;

You're here tonight….

(the people from the funeral, along with the man in the trenchcoat, a boy with long brown hair, a teenager in samurai robes and a slightly-emo looking teenager with black jeans, t-shirt and hair are all standing on the edge of a cliff, watching the sunset.)

How was that? A bit melodramatic? Comments, please!

I hope this teaser attracts more readers, but it probably won't.

Oh well, it was worth the effort.
