Keep Holding On

Chapter 1: Remember
Maria was in the modern-day The Docks, Florida.

It was alot different, it was still the same neighborhood she grew up in, with the predominant white population.

She knocked on the door and a five-year old Japanese boy opened the door.

Akira looked at her, the girl, who was at least eight, she wore what appeared to be an army uniform with the familiar faction logos of The Transformers on her shoulder and breast pocket, she wore a skirt and saw shorts underneath.

”Is your dad home?” She asked.

”Yes, Daddy!” He replied then called out.

Joseph Wintergreen, now thirty eight, saw the permanently eight year old girl.

Other than the uniform, she still looked the exact same as the lonely little girl he befriended.

”ただいま (I’m home)” She said in that familiar language she spoke.

Joseph felt like he was going to cry, he saw his deceased friend right infront of him.

She stepped inside, she then brought out a familiar thing, her Thundercracker and Prowl figures,

”Here they are.” She said.
