Two Odd Kids

The black, straight haired boy slowly walked in the busy school hallway, full of students. As he approached his destination, he can feel his heart pounding louder and faster. He finally reached his destination: a girl with straight, long, brown hair. He nervously tapped the girl's shoulder and said, "Hey, Eve."

"Oh, Lex. What's the matter?" Eve greeted as she turned around.

"Can you, uh, meet me at the roof, after school?" Lex nervously asked.

"Uh, yeah. Sure. I can do that." Eve answered.

"Thanks, see ya." Lex said before running off, leaving a confused Eve behind.

-Later-

Eve made her way into the stairs leading up to the roof. The final bell has ringed and Eve, not wanting to disappoint a good friend, kept her promise and made her way to the roof. As she made her way up the stairs, Eve's mind began to wonder to why do Lex wanted to meet her at the roof after school. Eventually, she thought of a couple of bad possibilities. Eve quickly shook those thoughts off. Lex is a really close friend of hers; he won't do anything bad to her.

Finally, she reached the top of the stairs and emerged to the roof. Her eyes darted across the roof and it didn't take her long to find Lex. There he was, standing across the roof, his bag is put next to him. His sapphire eyes met her ruby eyes.

There is long silence before Eve said, "Why did you ask me to come here?"

There is another long silence before Lex nervously said, "So Eve, we've been friends for quite some time. I think it's from third grade?"

"Second grade." Eve corrected.

"Well, the point is, we've been friends for a long time. And to be honest, you're one of the few people that actually want to hang out with me."

"Really?"

"And through our time together, I know that you are smart and kind and brave and... I can't possibly list it all." Eve's face turned red as Lex said all those things.

"But, recently I've been feeling different when I'm around you. I get all nervous and want to look good in front of you. And now, I know why." Lex took a few a deep breaths before saying, "Evangeline Brighton, will you date me?"

That question struck her hard. Sure, she enjoys spending time with him. He's always been different than most kids. While most kids strive to be popular, his position as a nerd doesn't bother him at all. Actually he kinda like being weird, as hinted by his life motto "Normal is totally overrated. Abnormality rules!". Finally Eve reached a decision.

With a smile, Eve said,"Lexus Dominic Grey, it will be my pleasure."

Suddenly, Eve ran at Lex and pulled him into a hug. "What about tomorrow at eleven?" Lex asked as he embraced the hug and Eve nodded. After a few minutes in each other's arms, they broke the hug and Eve left. Left alone, Lex stared off into the sky. No words can describe what he feels right now. The word that came close is; if he had wings, he'll be flying around the cosmos right now.

-Tomorrow Morning-

Lex gently woke up from his sleep. He looked to his right and he saw his alarm clock showing that it is 08.34 AM. He sat himself up and reached for his cell phone. He searched for Eve's number but he realized that it is still pretty early to call. He put his phone down and got out of bed. He went to the door and got out of his room. Instead of his usual sluggish walk towards the kitchen, he ecstatically sprinted toward the kitchen. He said hello to his parents and grabbed a plate of omelets and sausages, a glass of milk and two bananas and went to the TV room.

Then, he sat on a sofa in front of the TV. He put the bananas and the glass of milk on a small table beside the sofa. He grabbed the remote and turned the TV on. After flipping through the channels, he found his usual channel and started eating. After he finished his breakfast, He turned the TV off and put the dishes on the sink and went back to his room.

He looked at his digital clock and it says 09.02 AM. He grabbed his phone called Eve. After waiting for a few moments, the call connected.

"Hello?" Eve's voice sounded like she just got out of bed.

"Hey Eve, you just woke up or did I wake you up?" Lex asked.

"Kinda half and half." Eve said with a yawn.

"Well, I just had breakfast and I thought of something that will make our date more interesting." Lex said with a sly smile.

"What is it now?" Eve giggled, curiously waiting what's Lex crazy idea now.

"How about on our date... we both wear something we hate!" That idea woke Eve completely.

"Wear something we hate?"

"Yeah, just grab a t-shirt or something that you hate and wear it on our date."

"Okay, bring it on."

"Great, pick you up at eleven!"

And with that Lex hung up the phone. He threw his phone at the bed and turned his attention to his wardrobe. He opened it and muttered, "Which shirt do I hate?" Then, he got it. He started rummaging his messy wardrobe while muttering, "Where's that shirt I got last year?"

-Later, 11.13 AM -

Eve sat on a sofa in front of the TV with the remote in her hand; she lazily flipped through the channels. She glanced at an old analog clock that is hanging on the wall and it says 11.13 AM. Lex should be here right now, she thought. Then, she heard a knock on the front door. He heard the front door being opened and her mom greeting the visitor. Then she heard her mom shouting, "Evangeline, Lexus is here!"

Eve immediately went to the front door. When she got there, she saw Lex on the front door with his arms crossed and wearing his usual innocent but somehow mischievous smile.

"I'm gonna go for a while Mom." She said to her mom.

"Okay, just be back before dinner." Her mom said with a smile.

Eve got out of her house and closed the door behind her. She then examined Lex's shirt. It was a t-shirt with the picture of a bearded and old but somehow muscled man rising out of the ocean with a golden trident in hand. "You hate that shirt?" Eve asked as she examined the shirt.

"Yeah, I mean come on, the guy is practically naked." Lex reasoned.

"How about you then?" Lex pointed at Eve's clothing, "You're just wearing a pink shirt. And don't tell me you hate pink, I've seen you wearing pink shirts a few times."

Eve simply turned around and Lex is surprised at what he saw. "Where the heck did you find a pink shirt with a picture of a Grim Reaper on the back?" Lex said with an extremely confused look and Eve giggled at his response. "And it even has two scythes!" Lex added.

"I actually found it a year ago at my doorstep." Eve explained.

"You found it a year ago?" Lex asked.

"Yeah and you know what, every time I'm gonna throw it away, I felt like it's a really bad idea." Eve said.

"Well, that's weird. I actually found my shirt the same way you do and every time I want to throw it away, I felt the same way." Lex crossed his arms. There was a long silence before Lex says, "Should we get going?"

Eve nodded and they took off.

-30 Minutes Later-

After a 30 minute walk, the couple finally reached the city. Lex is complaining about the troubles he is facing in a game and Eve simply nodded and smiled once in a while. It's not that Eve didn't understand what Lex is talking about; she liked the games that Lex likes, though not to Lex's degree.

"...so I got a Sandile, which is not only effective against electric, it's immune to it as well. But then, I found out that Emolga are immune to ground-types! How 'bout that?" Lex blathered about till he is actually walking backwards. But before Eve can tell him to look where he is going or he might hit someone, it happened. With a thud, Lex fell. He turned around and saw that he bumped into a boy, roughly the same age he is, with golden hair and amethyst eyes. And he is sitting on the ground, scratching his head. Beside him there is a girl with white hair with magenta stripes and emerald eyes.

"Sorry dude. Didn't see you there." Lex said as he got up. "You okay?" Lex extended his hand to the boy, but the boy quickly got up and the boy and the girl took off.

"Well someone's in a hurry." Eve said before she started walking again. Then, she realized that Lex is still staring at the direction the kids went. "Lex," Eve patted his shoulder, "it's not polite to stare at strangers."

"I know. It's just, there's something off about those two." Lex said before he subconsciously followed them.

Seeing this, Eve tapped his shoulder again, harder this time, "Lex, it is certainly not polite to stalk strangers as well!"

"Eve, I've got a tingle, okay?" Lex whispered before walking again. Knowing well what that means, Eve reluctantly followed.

After following them for almost two blocks, the kids entered an abandoned building. Lex and Eve stood in front of the building, both of them in deep thought. "We're not going in there, right?" Eve nervously asked but Lex is still deep in thought. "Come on, this place is creep central! And you hate creep centrals, we've proven that." Eve asked again but instead of answering, Lex just opened the door and entered. With a groan, Eve followed.

When Eve entered, Lex is already a couple of steps ahead of her. Eve quickly ran to him and held on to his arms. "How come you're not scared?" Eve whimpered, "You're usually scared of places like this."

"I know. This place feels... different," Lex said as he looked around, "Like I'm supposed to be here and that we really need to find those kids."

Lex and Eve explored around till they found a set of stairs leading up to the second floor. They looked at each other and nodded before they went up. Midway through the stairs, they can hear someone throwing out some pretty harsh words. When they got to the top, they can see the two kids with a thuggish-looking person in a room without a door and two beds. Slowly, Lex picked up a medium-sized log and made his way to the room, followed by Eve. Lex noticed that the boy notices him approaching so he made a signal for the boy to stay quiet. He entered the room and delivered a decent blow to the thug's groin followed by a blow to the thug's head, which knocked him out.

Lex took a good look the boy and the girl before nervously saying, "That's... not your dad or anything, right?"

To his relief, the boy shook his head and said, "No." in a very familiar voice.

Lex threw the log aside and dragged the thug out of the room, followed with a sound of a door being opened, a door being closed and a door being locked.

Lex entered the room and muttered, "I hope he doesn't get up and or get out anytime soon." while wiping his hands. He turned his attention to the kids. "Now," Lex crosses his arms, "Who are you and what's your biz here?". The boy and the girl faces looked very tense. With a chuckle, Lex said, "Okay, that proves you're not from around here.". But the kids still seemed very tense so Lex said, "Guys, chill. That was just an act." and hearing this, the two calmed down bit by bit.

"Now, can you tell us your names?" Lex asked as he sat on the bed, followed by Eve.

The two sat down on the other bed before the boy said, "My name is Spyro."

Lex's widened but it widened even more when the girl said, "And my name is Cynder."

Lex turned his face to Eve with a very shocked look. "Oh, don't be like that, Lex." Eve commented, "There is a high probability that someone out there is named Spyro and Cynder."

"I'm sorry; I didn't mean to interrupt but," the boy pointed at Lex, "why is he so surprised?"

"It's just that... well ... do you know a video game called 'The Legend of Spyro'?" Lex asked and the boy and the girl looked at each other before shaking their heads. Lex then proceeded by telling them the entire Legend of Spyro trilogy story, though he excludes the part where Ignitus became the Chronicler and when Cynder told Spyro she loved him.

"How did you know?" the boy asked.

"Well, by playing it of course. It is a pretty cool game." Lex said with a smile.

Suddenly, the boy got to his feet and threatened, "Fighting Malefor is NOT a game!"

"Okay, calm down. I know Malefor's pretty evil but still, it's just a game." After Lex said that, the boy was about to punch him but the girl stopped him. The boy gave her a glare before he calmed down.

Lex can faintly hear the boy whisper, "How come you're not mad about this? Didn't you remember what Malefor has done to us? What he done to you! And this guy thought it was just some game!"

Hearing this, Lex immediately know there is something seriously wrong with the two kids he's facing.

"Why are you so obsessed with 'The Legend of Spyro'?" Lex asked while still keeping his distance from the boy.

"Because I'm the Spyro and she's the Cynder you talked about." Lex responded with a "say what?!" look.

"I told you we shouldn't follow them. Guy's total nut job." Eve suddenly complained.

"Who's what now?" the girl asked.

Lex gave Eve a glare before he said, "Well, she doesn't believe you two are actually Spyro and Cynder, 'cause... you know... Spyro and Cynder are dragons and you're... humans."

"Well, I cannot explain that either." The boy frowned, "All that we know is, after our fight against Malefor, we woke up in this room and in this... form, three days ago."

"Well, I would like to believe you, "Lex got a glare from Eve when he said that, "but you lack any kind of proof. So... sorry."

The boy frowns but then, it looks like he remembered something. He reaches for his pocket and pulls out a round rock and said, "We also found this in my pocket.". He tossed the rock to Lex and said, "We don't know what it does and we don't really want to find out, so we just left it on my pocket."

Lex's first impression when he held the rock was that it was very round and very dusty. Lex rubbed the dust off and beneath the dust, there is a 'D' engraved to the rock.

"'D'? What does that mean?" Lex wondered.

"Probably for 'Draconia'." The boy guessed.

"Draconia?" Lex wondered.

Suddenly, the 'D' glowed blue. Lex was so surprised that he dropped the rock. Then, from the rock, a glowing blue circle appeared, filled with ancient-looking runes. Everyone is on their feet right now. The circle emitted a blinding light, which enveloped the entire room as everyone screamed.

Hey, guys! My second story! Actually, my first story is nowhere near done and my mom (who urged me to write these) thought it's not wise to write two stories at once but I just can't wait to get this one started. Oh, and he is not the same Lex as my first story, Imagination Wielders. As you can read, this Lex has sapphire eyes, while the other Lex has purple eyes.
