It is dark and cold night in a small town outside of L.A. A small kid,6, is wandering aimlessly on the sidewalk. He hasn't had any memories of his childhood nor memories before the age of 6. Everytime he tries to think back, his head hurts.

???: I'm so hungry. Where am I?How did I get here? *tries to think back, but his head starts to hurt*  Arg! Ahh! *falls down*

Meanwhile, inside an orphanage he fell down in front of.  (W=Woman)

W2 P.O.V.

W1: "W1", can you take out the trash?

W2: Sure. *grabs the trash and walks out*

W1: It's tough taking care of 12 kids.

W2 walks out and puts the trash in the trash can, but then sees a small child across the street.

W2: My goodness! *runs across the road to him* Excuse me child, but are you ok?

??? P.O.V.

???: Hmm? I'm hungry. Do you know where I'm am?

W2: Here come in quick child. I work at an orpanage right there. *grabs his hand*

???: I can't walk that far. I'm too weak.

W2: *picks him up* Don't worry, I'll carry you.

???: Thanks.

W2 carries the boy inside.

W2: "W1"! Come here please!

W1: It took you a while, what were you doing- *sees the boy and rushes to him* Where did you find this boy?

W2: He was right across the road.  He says he's hungry, he's a little weak to.

W1: I'll prepare some food for him. Lay him down on the couch and get him some water.

W2: Yes ma'am.

W1 leaves to prepare a quick dish, while W2 takes him over to a couch and lays him down on it.

W2: I'll be right back. Please rest here.

???: *nods*

W2 leaves and ??? can hear them talking.

W1: I will call the police after he has eaten.

W2: Ok. *fills up a glass of water* Shall I give him something to read?

W1: Yes. That would be nice. It would occupy him for a while.

W2: Ok, I'll ask him what he wants to read. *takes the water to ???* Here you go. *lifts him up to a sitting position, and helps him drink the water*

???: *after he drinks it all* Thanks.

W2: No problem. *cheerfully* What's your name?

???: Umm ahh....M-Matthew.

W2: *grabs a pen and paper* Yes, and what's your last name?

Matthew: Umm...Dollar.

W2: Ok, Matthew Dollar, where did you come from?

Matthew: I don't know. All I can remember is walking on the side of the road, and my name is Matthew Dollar.

W2: I see. *notices something* Umm Matthew, why is your hair purple?

Matthew: I don't know.

W2: Maybe it's hair due.

Matthew: Hair dye?

W2: It's something that makes your hair turn a curtain color for a while. Don't worry, it can last from a couple of days to a few weeks. Maybe it will rinse off in the shower.

Matthew: Ah, ok.

W2: So Matthew. Would you like to read something?

Matthew: *nods*

W2: Wait here and I'll find you something to read. *leaves*

Matthew: *nods and waits* *looks around* Where am I? *sees a book* What's this book?

Matthew gets off the couch and grabs a medium size book that says "WW2 Naval Ships by The Ghost"

Matthew: W..W..Two? I wonder what this is. *walks back to the couch and starts reading it*

Matthew: Page 1 of 70. "Hello reader. Nice to meet you. I am one of the commanders of Azur Lane. I won't tell you my name, but I will tell you my nickname. I am The Ghost. No, I'm not the Grey Ghost. I go with my fleet, and after an attack. We're gone. Just like German Feild Marshal Erwin Rommal's tank division. In this book, I will tell you about the different kinds of warships. Battleships, Cruisers, Destroyers, and Submarines. Turn the page to..." see the first ships. I wonder what Azur Lane is?

Matthew turns to the next page and sees a hand four of ships.

Matthew: There girls? *starts reading* These four girls are starters. You only choose one though, so choose wisely. This girl looks like me!

Suddenly, W2 comes back with 2-3 small books.

W2: I'm sorry it took so long. It's difficult having a lot of books in one space. *sees the book Matthew has* What do you have there?

Matthew: I found this book over there. It's says W W two. And look, there is a girl that looks like me. *points to a girl holding a spear*

W2: *looks at the book* Oh, it's a book on Azur Lane ships that "The Ghost" had. And yes, she does look a little like you.

Matthew: What's Azur Lane?

W2: Azur Lane is the name that four groups are part of. They have girls that can float on water, and can transform into what are called, shipgirls. Like what you see here.

Matthew: Why were they created.

W2: They were made to fight Sirens and protect humanity.

Matthew: What are Sirens? What is humanity?

W2: *mind: This kid.* Umm, let me go and see if your food is done.

Matthew: Okay, I'm still ganna read.

W2: *nods* *gets up and walks away*

Matthew: *continues reading* These girls are cool. I wonder if I can be a commander?

W1: Matthew! Please come here!

W2: I told you not to yell.

W1: Sorry.

Matthew: Okay.

He closes the book and walks to the kitchen, while carrying the book.

Matthew: Yes?

W1: What do you have there?

Matthew:  This book.

W1: *visable confusion*

W2: He has an Azur Lane book. You know, the one made by "The Ghost".

W1: I see. *looks at W2* Isn't that not suitable for kids like him?

W2: As long as he's not fantasizing over them or goes to that part of the book, he's fine.

Matthew: *reading* These girls are submarines.

Both girls tense up for a second, before W2 grabs the book.

Matthew: Hey!

W1: *picks him up and sets him in a chair* Time to eat.

W1 made a small steak, cut up of course, and green beans.

Matthew: *takes a plastic fork and picks up a piece of steak and eats it* Yummy.

W1 & W2: Phew.

W2: Glad we got him out of that section.

W1: Yes, I should put it somewhere where he can't get it.

Matthew: *pouts* No please. I wanna read more. 

W2: No, this book isn't ment for kids.

Matthew: *crosses his arms*  Then I won't eat or talk to the cops.

W1: *sighs* Might as well let him have it. As long as one of us keeps an eye on him, he should be safe reading it.

W2: Are you sure?

W1: I already read it all so he can have it. I was planning on giving it away anyways.

W2: Okay then. *places the book on the table next to Matthew* This is your new book. But if you read it, make sure one of us is around.

Matthew: Yay, thanks. *opens the book back up*

W1: *hold on to it* Maybe I should choose the next page, okay?

Matthew: Okay.

W1 flips to the Royal Navy Aircraft carrier section.

W1: Ah, this one should be ok. This is my favorite one of course.

Matthew: Why's that?

W2: She's part British. Her mother was born in London. She's likes this section.

Matthew: Wow. *starts reading while eating*

He soon finishes eating, then starts reading more.
While Matthew is reading, W2 goes to call the police. Soon he finds another girl with purple hair and holding a unicorn plushy.

Matthew: Who's this?

W1: That's a ligh aircraft carrier, her name is Unicorn. And that plushy she's holding, it's name is U-chan from what she calls it. She has an older sister, that's an aircraft carrier, named Illustrious.

Matthew: Unicorn huh? She pretty.

W1: Aww, isn't that sweet.

W2: *comes back* They will be here I'm a bit. Matthew, can you set the book down and come with me please?

Matthew: I wanna take the book.

W1: It will be right here.

Matthew: No.

W2: How about I hold onto it while you talk to the police. I'll be right next to you.

Matthew:...Sure. *hands the book to her.*

W2: *holds onto it* Thanks. *looks at W1* Can you go check on the other children? It's almost time for our rounds.

W1: Sure. *leaves*

W2: Lets go to the porch Matthew. *walks away&

Matthew: *nods and walks with her*

When the police showed up, they questioned both W2 & Matthew. But since Matthew couldnt remember anything before 6, they couldn't do much. They said that they will start up an investigation, and it may be a case of abandonment. And so, they collect a bit of DNA from him, hair and saliva, and left.

On the morning (when he first got there), when he meet the other orphans, he was teased about his hair...a lot. But no one did this more than a 8 year old girl named Allie. She saw him as a girlboy, which Matthew didn't like. Matthew told W1 &2 to not tell anyone about his love for Azur Lane and Naval warfare, and his hiding spot, which he used to get away from the others during play time.

(This is Allie. Shes the main bully, the other two are her friends who helps her. These 3 girls are bullies from ViVid Strike. I feel bad for Fuka, the victim. I wouldnt recommend watching the video of them bullying her or her revenge. If you want to, it's on YouTube.)

(Girl on left, Carly. Right, Karen.)

Timeskip-4 years later-Matthew is now 10 years old, and hasn't grown much since 6, standing around 4'1. And he reads more and more books about Azur Lane and naval warfare. So good in fact that he was the best one in the town.

(Don't ask. Its my story. I'll add Aang and Zuko from Avatar The Last Airbender I'm if I want. *readers slap Author* Anyways back to the story)

Matthew was in his hiding spot, a small shed with a small hole. He used this a lot for the last 4 years. He even put up a little curtain over the hole. He was reading more Naval warfare history.

With W2, who was helping W1 put clothes, sheets, etc up on a wire. 

W2: Do you know what today is?

W1: Sunday, June 7 20**

W2: Well yes, but today it's been 4 years since we got Matthew.

W1: Oh ya. It's a little sad. We only had a hand full of people that wanted to adopt him.

W2: But they were uncomfortable with him about Naval warfare, history, and Azur Lane. They immediately give him back.

W1: Yes. He's a special one. We have 9 kids with us now, and if some of them don't get homes before 18....well you know what happens.

W2:....Yes. But I believe that Matthew has a chance of being adopted.

W1: Same here. But I fear he may not be social with other kids. He hasn't spoken to anyone much. And they pick on him for his hair color. Which I still can't believe it's his actual hair color. And he spends most of his time in the shed.

W2: We promise to not tell the other kids about that as long has he helps us sometimes. He's such a nice child.

W1: Yes he is.

Unaware to the two, a certain girl was eavesdropping on them, and started grinning.

With Matthew, who was stiring and reading a book called Azur Lane ships.

Matthew: Prince of Wales is a really cool ship. *turns the page back a bit* There she is, HMS Unicorn. A light aircraft carrier who calls HMS Illustrious onee-chan. She also has a plushie of a unicorn, who she calls U-chan. She carries a type of plane called a Spitfire. She's a really cute and cool girl. I wish I could meet her.

Suddenly, a kick on the shed startled him.

Matthew: Ahh!

Allie: I know your in there girlboy! Come out here!

Matthew: *shaking* N-No!

Allie: *snaps her fingers*

Suddenly, her two friends gone through the hole and pinned him down. 

Carly: Come in. We got him.

Allie climbs through the hole, but gets caught.

Allie: *pushes off the wall, but doesn't move* Grr!

Karen: *laughs a bit*

Allie: *glares at her* Help me!

Karen: *tenses up a bit* *nods and goes over and pulls her through*

Allie: *hits her on the head* Well well well. This is where you always at girlboy. 

Matthew: *struggles to get up* Get off! Your hurting me!

Carly: No.

Allie: Shut it girlboy! Let's see what your doing here. *sees a book* Hmm? What's this?

Matthew: Noo!

Allie picks up a book and it shows the page he was reading.

Allie: Pffft hahaha! What is this?! Are you a creep? Azur Lane? More like Azur Lame! Hahaha.

Matthew: It's not lame! Its the coolest thing every!

Allie: Oh ya. And who's this? *points to Unicorn* She looks so stupid!

Matthew: Don't call Unicorn stupid!

Allie: Unicorn! Pshhh hahaha, that's the worst name ever. And why does she have a doll? *sees the name of it* U-chan? What is a U-Chan! That's so dumb.

Karen: *looks at another book* This one is about...Naval warfare?

Allie: Naval what? That sounds dumb!

Karen: Actually, it's a part of the military. It has-

Allie: *hits her shoulder* Shut it! *looks at the book and turned the page* Who is this? Illustrious? What the heck is that she's holding? Why is she barely wearing anything! Are you pedophile!? Creep!

Matthew: What's that?

Allie: A pedophile is a- *gets an idea* Is a bad person.

Matthew: No, I'm not that!

Allie: Matthew is pedo! Matthew is a pedo!

Matthew: Stop it!

Allie: *kicks his legs* Shut up! You know what I'm gonna do! *throws the book on the. Ground and starts stomping on it*

Matthew: No! Stop it! Your ruining it!

Allie: This is what you get girlboy.

Suddenly, the door opens and W2, W1, and the rest of the kids are there.

W2: *gasps* Allie! What are you doing! *grabs her and pulls her away* Carly get off of Matthew! Karen, come here.

Allie: *doesn't resist* He was trying to steal feom us. And he fleed here. Then he attack me and these two came and helped me.

W1: *runs over to Matthew and helps him up* Are you ok Matthew.

Matthew: *starts crying*

W1: *hugs him* Its ok.

Allie: Quit being a baby girlboy.

W2: Allie! Do you wanna explain why you were stomping on Matthew's book?

Allie: Why? Cause it has girls in it and there part a Azur Lame.

W2: We gave him that book, and your story doesn't make sense. Matthew isn't violent, and one of the kids reported you listening to us.

Allie: What!? No, he tried to touch us. He kidnapped me!

W1: I thought you said he attacked you? 

Allie: Ah umm...Well He did attack me after he touched me.

W2: We are going to have a long talk young lady! Karen, Carly, come with me. W1, take Matthew out. The rest of you, go back to your rooms.

Allie had nothing to say, niether did her friends. When they left. W1 decided to take Matthew to a store to get another AL book.

While at the store.

W1: It's ganna be ok Matthew. I know how much that book ment to you. But don't worry, they have plenty more here.

Matthew: *nods*

W1 picks up a new AL book, but while walking back she sees something.

W1: Hey Matthew, look at this.

Matthew: *looks up, and sees her looking at some paper* W-What?

W1: It's a naval competition. You awnser multiple questions, and at the end you get to participate in a simulator.

Upon hearing this, Matthew immediately asked to join.

W1: Sure. It won't cost anything. But to enter you are asked 2-4 questions.

Matthew: Okay, I still wanna give it a go.

W1: Well. It starts next week on Tuesday. So if you want I could lend you some more books.

Matthew: *nods, but them stops* But what about Allie and the rest?

W1: They will be taken care of. We will let you stay inside for most of the time. And Allie and her friends are going to be punished severely. You won't be seeing them for a while.

Matthew: Ok.

After they bought the book, they went back. Matthew read and read and read till he knew everything Naval. And let's just say that Allie and her friends will be cleaning, and more, for a month or so. And families will be notified what they did.

Timeskip-Tuesday-Matthew is waiting to be questioned to enter, with W2. When 3 judges walk in.

Judge1: Hello. We are the judges to see if you can enter. You must be his mother correct?

W2: Oh no. Im an orphanage worker. He's from [Insert Name] orphanage. But I am kind of like his mother.

Judge1: Oh, I'm sorry. *looks at Matthew* Purple hair?

Matthew: It's my real hair color. 

Judge1: I see. Ok. Let's begin asking a few questions. Judge3, you may ask first.

Judge3: *grunts* Seriously? A child. He can't even figure out the five main warships.

Matthew: Aircraft Carrier, Battleship, Battlecruiser, Destroyer, and Submarine.

The Judges:....

Judge3: Umm...Ok. How about this, name the strongest Eagle Union ship. *grins*

Matthew: Which type of ship?

Judge3: Umm...Carrier.

Matthew: Hmmm....I say the USS Enterprise. But wouldn't that be because she won many battles? The other carriers could have done just as good if they didn't sink.

Judge3: Ok listen here you-

Judge2: Hehe, this kids smart. You ha've to agree. Ok kid, awnser this. What ship was lost at the Battle of the Denmark Strait?

Matthew: The HMS Hood.

Judge2: Okay then. A few days later, what happened?

Matthew: The KMS Bismarck was sunk. Ironically, she's the one that sunk Hood. They were both pride of their nations' and navies'.

Judge1: Okay okay. Second to last question. This one is a tricky one. In the Battle of Midway, after the Yorktown was hit, what Eagle Union destroyer sunk with it?

Matthew: I believe the USS Hamman?

Judge1: Y-Yes. Alright, this one is the hardest one. If the HMS Ark Royal wasn't the only ship that sank the KMS Bismarck. Who else was there?

Matthew: Ummm....ehhh?

Judge3: He doesn't know that. He failed move him out!

Judge2: Shut it. Let him think. It is a tough question.

Matthew: HMS Ark Royal, King George V, Rodney, Norfolk, Dorsetshire, Sheffield, and six destroyers. Even a Polish destroyer named Piorun.

Judge1:.....*looks at the awnser* T-That's correct.

Judge3: Bull! This is probably not a kid!

Judge2: Calm down! *looks at Matthew* How old are you?
 
Matthew: Im 10.

Judge2: 10!?

Judge1: Wow. This kid might be a prodigy.

Judge3: Doubtful.

Matthew: Is that all?

Judge1: Yes. You may enter. *signs his name on a paper*

Matthew: Yay! *looks at W2* I did it!

W2: I saw. *looks at the judges* I didn't even know some of them.

Judge1: You may enter threw these doors and he will be going up against 19 other kids.

W2: Ok.

The two enter the room. Once there Matthew sees 13 kids, so me teens. Some with parents, others with family. Matthew would be the youngest there.

Soon Matthew would win and he would catch the attention of on Azur Lane commander.

(I hope y'all enjoy this prologue. I kind've rushed it at the end. I'm going to be honest, I thought about scraping this. But I decided I'm ganna gonna go with it. I want you guys to enjoy a story that's not in the Oklahoma story. I'm sorry this is over due, and I'm sorry for not bringing this sooner. I to be honest, don't have a plan for this. But I will do my best. Thanks and as always I don't own Azur Lane. Have a great day. Again, sorry.)
