I knew the kids ever since they were born. For ten years, I've been watching them grow up.

Nayda was the eldest, the self-appointed leader of the trio. Her mother, my cousin, didn't do her job well. She was pregnant at sixteen, and had to live as a teen mom.

Nayda was a violent little girl. She used to bite and hit people, and use curse words a ten year old shouldn't know. I remember when she was five, when her mother had to go to Hoenn for five years, she left Nay with my mom, since we have a big house and a lot of money. It was for the best. Of course, she made the right decision leaving her with us, now that she's not as violent anymore.

Adriel is my cousin. He's a smart little dude.

I remember when he came with us. His guardian, his grandfather, died of old age when he was seven. His father worked up in Snowpoint, but he was very poor. He let Adriel move in with us. I still remember the face he made when he saw the house for the first time. He said he wanted to be rich like my dad so he can live a good life. Ever since, he's been saving up. A lot.

And then there was little Katie. She's my real sister, and a little sweetheart.

Ever since she was born, she's been my little girl. I love her to pieces.

My older brother, Rio, won't stop saying how evil she is. He keeps on saying she's worse than Nayda. Well, I don't give a crap. She's my angel.

So you can say today is a sad day today.

Today, the kids are starting their journeys. Today, they're stepping into the world. Today, I cry because my little girl's growing up.

And today, I'll be slapping Rio across the face because he doesn't give a crap.
