Lomachislots War - Lost Childhood (Original) ~
Director of Music:
Andy gaped after Lurea as she walked off with her sister and brother. Phineas caught up with Andy and tapped him on the shoulder. Cautiously he said, "Let's take Sakura to the nursery." Andy nodded still in shock.
He hadn't even known his father was a general!
Kasawa Lanford:
Sakura waved good bye as they let her off at the nursery. The attendent watched them as they left, "good friends of your's?" she asked Sakura who nodded.
"Your mother called a few minutes ago and wondered if you had come here, I told you had even though you hadn't. She said she would be by in an hour," the woman said. "what do you want to do in the mean time?" she asked her.
Sakura thought it over before heading into the building and to the playground.

Meanwhile, Rin hadn't been able to get much sleep. She looked at her hand and noticed something odd, it was transperent but she saw fur, it was there for only a few seconds before it vanished. "Huh?" she blinked and sat up, but saw nothing on her hands. "that was odd..." she said.
She looked over at Anise who was still asleep, the girl was having a nightmare it seemed as she had been mumbling something in her sleep and tossing and turning. "Wonder what type of nightmare she is having," Rin asked herself.
Director of Music:
Andy turned over to look at Phineas. "Do you want to stay at my place?"
"Sure" agreed Phineas. Soon they arrived and Andy's mom was there.
"Oh! Hello Phineas!"
"Hello Mrs. Baldwin. Pleasure seeing you again."
"Thank you very much Phineas."
Andy rolled his eyes. "Hey mom, Finny's stayin over. Dad's coming home tonight, right?"
The mom smiled, "Yes, Andy. You two go and wash up for dinner before he gets home from the hospital. He insisted on driving home himself."
Kasawa Lanford:
Elsewhere in town; a meeting was occuring amongst a group of indiviuals. A large round table took up the center of a room, eight people sat in chairs, several more stood around.
"So... what's the status?" a person said in one of the chairs.
Another sighed. "They are massing their forces, we can estimate an attack within the next two or three weeks.."
"Freaking fools... do we know the target?"
"Its not the city persay, but the academy. Word has gotten to them that there are several children in the academy who possess the ability to use magic and other abilities, while these kids can't exactly 'access' these abilities to their fullest, they were deemed as a threat." A female said, but this female wasn't in human form but instead in a wolf's form and sitting down in a chair.
Another female, this one human but wearing medevil armor, spoke up. "We've identified several of these children, Andrew Baldwin, Phineas Williams
, Anise and Rin Outren and Sakura Ramie," she said, in the blackness of the room a young boy grumbled when he heard Sakura's name.
"Crest... they're children all right.. barely outta diapers for pete's sake," an older man said.
Some of the people there laughed. "A second grader while the rest are fourth graders? They've been well out of diapers trust me..."
"What about Anise? We know she's got two medical conditions, her paralysis and inability to dress herself..." The older man said. "Well ok.. perhaps your comment does have marit for her.."
"so? why allow a damn baby to take control of a power that she is obviously to young to wield?" The man said.
The boy in the darkness laughed. "Man are YOU stupid.. just because Anise is in diapers due to her medical condition, doesn't mean she should be exempt from using her powers. Plus you seem to be forgetting something, we need all the users we can get." he said and walked out, he wasn't in human form but was in a cat form with nine tails, hence his name - Nine Tails.
The man grumbled. "Fine.. then what about the others? We have a second grader, and three other fourth graders who don't even know the history of their country, let alone the entire number system."
Nine Tails shook his head. "You're stereotyping again.. just because they are young doesn't mean they are stupid..." he said and walked forward and jumped onto the table. "We have a few weeks... I feel we can let them enjoy what little time they have left... before they are forced into this war.." he said solemnly.
The others nodded. "What about the battle?"
"We can't stop it... the town will be turned into a battle field.... hundreds will die... possibly thousands.." Lorea said as she walked in, behind her Manson and Yoko followed.
"Yoko, mind showing them what you found?" Lorea asked her little sister who nodded. She closed her left eye, her right glowed before displaying an image on the table. It showed the troop movements of the enemy faction, and what they saw frightened them.
Director of Music:
Andy's father came, sooner than expected. He was grinning broadly. "Andy! C'mere and give me a hug."
Andy, ran over and gave his dad a hug. "Hey dad. Finny's here."
The smile widened on his face, "Phineas! Long time no see!"
"Doing well, Mr. Baldwin?"
"Course, of course!"
The group sat and ate dinner comfortably, but Andy was lost in his thoughts. He wanted to talk to his dad privately. Phinea recognized the silence of Andy and continued to eat, although he was slightly bothered. After dinner, Andy spoke up.
"Dad, can I talk to you?"
Greg looked up. "Well sure, son. What is it?"
"I well...can we talk in private?"
His father arched an eyebrow but nodded. Father and son went to the parents bedroom.
"Dad.." Andy started at once as his dad closed the door. "How come you never told me that...you were a General? You..you always said you were just an infantry man..."
Andy's father's face lost his smile. "Who told you that, Andrew?"
"I...a lady named Lurea."
"I see." Realizing his son had asked a question, replied, "Ranks are not necessary Andrew. It is whatever you can do that is best for your country that matters-"
"...You also made the recruting age 18, dad." Andy almost pouted. "Why?!"
The father couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Because you boys are not yet men. Because you have much to look foward to in your life. Andrew, you have plenty of time to be an adult. But not much time to be a kid."
