<span style="color: #FF8000">Nii was so lost. This city made her head hurt. All the sounds made her dizzy. Together they made her dizzy and head hurty. She almost could imagine swirlies in her eyes. She liked to draw swirlies. Her mommy wore a necklace with a swirlie on it. So she always drew swirlies in case mommy ever woke up. She didn't know mommy was gone for good. She just knew mommy wouldn't wake up. It didn't make sense to her why mommy wouldn't wake up. She hadn't been there after the men came. They scared her. All those people. The man with the dark hair scared her the worst. He was the one who hurt mommy and made it so she didn't wake up. She only remembered her mommy yelling. The words weren't there just the sound of her mommy yelling and the man growling at her.<br/><br/>Mommy fell and didn't get up. She still couldn't figure out what that meant. Her mind was trying though. Thinking it over and over but all she could get from what she remembered, vague as the memory was, is that mommy wouldn't wake up. She jumped when some old lady bumped into her. Scrambling to get away from her when she raised a hand high above her waist. Up to her chest so it was way above her waist. Raised hands indicated pain. She remembered the man who stormed into mommy's house raised his hand...then mommy cried. So that had scared her. She only slowed when she had gotten away from the old lady.<br/><br/>She was trusting of people so long as they didn't trigger the two memories that stuck out greatest in her mind. Other than that she sometimes got into trouble for how trusting she was. Looking around and held her tummy with both her hands. "Tummy tum...ungry..." she said in a cute whine. She rubbed her tummy as if trying to tell it that eventually it have food...maybe. She couldn't remember how many nights had passed since she had food last. She walked and stopped. Seeing flowers. She loved flowers. They were colorful and bright. She saw the stand of flowers and got close to it. Admists all the colors was a white flower patch of lily's. She stood on tippy toe and reached for the flower mommy liked. Her fingers barely brushing the petals. She pouted when she couldn't rich it.<br/><br/>"IT too far..." She said. All saddened by the fact she couldn't reach the flower that might wake mommy up. Even though mommy was very, very far away now. Maybe...maybe it wake mommy up. She began looking around. She saw the lady and the girl near her age coming up the street. She moved to watch them. She was standing near the edge of the sidewalk. Almost teetering on the edge falling into the street. She didn't know any better. She was hoping to get a closer look on the lady and the little girl her age.</span><br/><br/>Rico walked along the street in a lazy stroll. Hands on the back of his head. His tiger wanted out. He wanted to play yet he was quiet certain...that would cause quite the panic. A goofy grin went onto his face at the image of city folk running around like chickens with their heads cut off because of a very large dire tiger strolling down the street like it owned the place. The image was just amusing. He could hear it now.<span style="font-style: italic">Call animal control! Is that tiger really that HUGE? Does it really matter???</span>Amongst other things. He chuckled to himself as he walked. Out in the small town he lived in just a couple years ago...a giant white tiger was not even looked at twice. Let alone given much thought.<br/><br/>As he walked a couple of kids called out to him. "Yes little ones?" He asked with a warm smile. "Alright. What do you want if you win? What do I get if I win?" He asked with a smile. He pondered it. "Tell you what...if I win...you have to go home and help your parents with chores and do your homework. If you win...I'll do anything comical that your little hearts desire. Deal?"<span style="font-weight: bold">"Deal mister." The kids said as one.</span>There was two kids. "Alright...name the game." He said with a warm smile. Apparently rock paper scissors was the game. He watched the movements of the kids hands...then chose the one opposite what they chose. Twins apparently as they had chosen the same thing...rock. So he chose scissors. They played again and he won one. Then he let them win again.<br/><br/>He laughed. "You kids won fair and square. What you want me to do?" He said with a warm and easy going smile.<span style="font-weight: bold">The kids thought then looked at each other. "Walk on your hands and let us hold onto your legs all the way to the house near the flower shop. Its our house." The boy said where the girl then picked up. "Then you gotta keep going until somebody asks you why you doing it." THey said one completing the others sentence.</span>Rico laughed. "Is that all? I was worried you were going to paint my face like a clown with markers. He went to the bench. "Alright climb on." He said with a grin. He loved doing goofy or comical things and it was bound to make the kids laugh. It was a win win for everyone.<br/><br/>Bending over and slowly pushed himself up onto his hands. He walked backwards and spoke to the kids. "Climb on and hold on tight." Once they did so he began walking. He looked up like he was normal walking and began walking as easily down the sidewalk on his hands as he had his feet. "Alright now...the handwalking express has left benchwalk station...please keep your arms and legs attached to the vehicle at all times. And thank you...for riding handwalking express." He said in a comical funny voice he changed his voice to. Hearing the kids laugh made him laugh as well. He didn't even care about all the stares he was getting. He was laughing. The kids were laughing. People who weren't like what the hell is wrong with him were laughing. In fact so long as he was laughing and the kids were laughing didn't matter to him what others were thinking. It was all for the kids anyways.<br/><br/>"We are now nearing Homealot station. Please prepare for the vehicle to come to a stop." When he arrived in front of their house he bend his body in a way that he formed in arch. Allowing the kids to safely disembark. "Alright now. Go inside kids." He said. Once they did he resumed walking down the sidewalk...on his hands. A loss was a loss after all. Besides...it was all in good nature, good humor and good fun. He was grinning the entire time.
