(Disclaimer: I own nothing) Well this is a story idea I came up with a while back and I'm just gonna write a short story to hopefully help get rid of my witer's block:) Also this story has none of the characters I made up in my past stories just incase you've read them, this story doesn't follow them:)

"Pepper honey I want you to clean your room okay." Mr. Potts said to his daughter. He was about to leave for work.

"Yes dad I will." Pepper said.

"Okay. Love you" He said as he left. Pepper went up to her room and started to clean up.

"Wow, I haven't been through this stuff in years." Pepper said to herself. She started going through boxes of old stuff to throw out when she came across an old photo.

"Oh my gosh. I haven't thought of him in years." She said to herself as she looked at the old photo. It had a young Pepper in it wearing a ruffeled flowered top and shorts and had a pony tail and standing next to her was a boy about the same age wearing a red colored top and blue shorts. They looked about 5 or 6 years old.

"I can't believe I found this picture." Pepper said, all of a sudden flasbacks started entering her mind.

10 years ago

"Daddy why do I have to be here. It's so boring." The young red head girl asked.

"Because honey I'm here on business and your mom is at work so I can't leave you home alone." The young girl's father said.

"Fine." She said. They arrived at a big tall building and when they went inside everone seemed happy. Everyone was smiling and talking, but what caught the young girl's eye was a boy, seemed to be about her age. He had brown hair and blue eyes and a nice smile on his face as he looked at the young girl.

"Come on honey." Her dad said as they walked over to a big door, which was the CEO office. They walked inside and saw a man sitting at his desk. He looked up and smiled at them and walked over to them.

"Hello. You must be Mr. Potts." The man asked.

"Yes, and this is my daughter Patricia." Her father said.

"Why hello there. My names Howard." The young girl shook his hand and smiled up at him.

"How old is she?" Howard asked.

"She's almost six." Her father said.

You know I have a son around her age." Howard said.

"Really? Can she play with him while we're here? She can get bored really easy." Mr. Potts said.

"Sure. He's supposed to be over there in that other room." Howard said.

"Okay. Honey why don't you go over there." Her dad said. The young girl did what she was told and went inside. She saw the young boy that she saw out in the lobby. She walked over to him.

"Hi." She said sweetly.

"Hi. Who are you?" The young boy asked.

"My names Patricia." She said. (A/N: In this story Pepper doesn't get her nickname until later)

"I'm Tony." He said.

"Do you want to play?" She asked.

"Sure." He said. The whole afternoon they played together. Later on her father came in and told her they had to leave.

"Aw, can we stay 5 more minutes?" She asked.

"No, I'm sorry. But we'll be back next week." He said and they left. The week after they did come back, and the two kids remembered each other. Another couple of months went by and they played with each other and told each other everything. They were best friends...until one day,. that was all about to change.

"Really? We have to move?" Mr. Potts asked his wife.

"I'm afraid so. My job is to far that we have to move to Virginia." His wife said.

"Aw, Patricia's going to be really upset. She's made such good friends with Tony. But I guesss we don't have a choice. I'll go tell her." He said. He walked into his daughter's room, he saw her playing with her toys.

"Honey, I need to talk to you." He said.

"What about daddy?" She asked.

"We..have to move sweet heart." He said.

"Move? When are we coming back?" She asked.

"Um, we aren't honey. I don't think we'll be able to. See mommy's job is moving her to a different office in Virginia so we have to move there." He said.

"But if we go..I'll never see Tony again will I?" She asked, tears strting to build up in her eyes.

"I'm afraid so." He said.

"...Can..can I say good-bye to him?" She asked as a tear escaped her eye.

"Sure. We leave tomorrow morning so I'll drive you over there now." He said. They got in the car and headed over to Stark International. When they got inside Patricia went over to where Tony always was.

"T-Tony?" She asked as she tried to hold back the tears.

"Patricia hey! I didn't know you were coming today. What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I-I'm moving." She said, he saw the sadness in her eyes telling him that she wasn't kidding.

"But..But why?" Tony asked.

"My mommy's got a new job and we have to move." She said.

"That's not fair! How long have you known about this?!!" He asked, he seemed really mad.

"I just found out today Tony. I'm sorry." She said.

"I'll never see you again?" He asked.

"I guess so." She said. She had to get going so they quickly hugged and She left, giving Tony one last look before they left.

Now

Pepper let a tear go down her cheek.

"I can't believe how much time has past." She said to herself.

"I really miss him now." Pepper said as tears started to pour down her cheeks and she layed down on her bed and stared at the picture of them together.
