It had been two years since Sophie fell and hit her head, two years since she was able to read minds.
A seven year old Sophie Foster was walking home from school, earbuds plugged in and the volume cranked all the way up. Head down, hood up. She concentrated only the road ahead of her and the blaring music that drowned out the voices.

A sudden force pushed her, causing her fall to the ground and her earbuds to jerk out just in time to hear the loud screeching of tires. She swiveled around to see a car crash into a brown figure. The figure collapsed onto the ground and let out a groan.

The figure turned out to be an asian girl who couldn't be older than six but was still a little taller than Sophie herself. She had long dark brown hair and matching eyes. A streak of electric blue was in her bangs. She was wearing dull colored yet fashionable clothes.

The girl sat up rubbing her head and looked at Sophie "Are you okay?" she had an American accent "Am I okay?! You just got hit by a car! I should be the one asking if you're okay!" Sophie exclaimed, the girl just laughed. She stood up - at least - she tried to, but when she did, the girl fell back wincing and clutching her ankle. Sophie immediately got up and ran to her side at the same time the driver ran out of the car saying "I've called for an ambulance, it should be here in twenty minutes." "Okay" the girl turned to Sophie. "Hi, I'm Shadowflame, what is your name?" the seven year old ducked her head "Sophie" she murmured, "That's a nice name, she took out two small lollipops out of her pocket and held them out to her "Want one?" She smiled at her, Sophie smiled and took a chocolate lollipop.

Time skip

The driver had let Sophie use his phone to call her parents and her family came a minute before the ambulance did. She winced when she heard the thoughts practically screaming.

The doctors checked on the two girls for wounds while the driver was being questioned by the police, they were astounded. Miraculously, neither of them were hurt other then Sophie having a scraped elbow while Shadowflame a twisted ankle. They were both unharmed.

The police came and asked Shadowflame to call her parents but she refused. They did some research and soon learned that she has been a run away orphan for two years and she's been traveling around the world, getting small jobs for money.

When the Fosters heard about this, Sophie who was still licking her lollipop asked if they could adopt her. They were shocked, but when they flashed back to how well the two got along while in the ambulance. They decided to foster her for a week. If that worked out, they would adopt Shadowflame.

Once Sophie agreed, she ran out of the office and her parents watched as the two talked excitedly and hugged, but what warmed their hearts most were the huge smiles on the new found friends faces.

On the way to the Fosters' home, they learnt that Shadowflame ran away as traveling the world had always been her family's dream. She had always wanted to go Paris most. She also knows basic self defense and loves baking, animals, skateboarding, taking pictures, music, pranks, books and most of all, designing, although she wasn't girly. In fact, the clothes she wore were designed by herself. They also learnt that the bracelet and locket she wore were the last thing her parents gave her and she never took it off. The bokken that was longer than she was tall was from her cousin that taught her self defense. She had a pair of blue and black colored headphones with cat ears on them which was from her uncle. The dark brown satchel she carried was made by her, it seemed to carry everything and anything in it. The ice blue skateboard she had tucked under her left arm was from her aunt. And the bright blue palaroid camera in it's pale blue bag was from her grandparents.

Once the four Fosters and a girl who was soon to be a part of their family, got home, Sophie gave the six year old a tour of the house. They reached the kitchen in time to see Mrs Foster about set the table for dinner. Shadowflame rushed forward and took the silverware from her, saying it was dangerous to leave the food unsupervised while it was on the stove and to watch over whatever she was cooking while she and Sophie set the table.

After dinner, the two S's washed the dishes and splashed each other with water at the same time. Soon, they were dripping wet and laughing at each other, even Amy joined in and ended up soaked too. They were told to shower and change into their pajamas.

Shadowflame and Sophie shared Sophie's room that night. When Mr Foster tucked them in, he noticed Shadowflame cradling a white stuffed bear with angel wings and tiny pink floral pattern. She told him her name was Clarity, he just patted her head and smiled. Once he shut the door, the two best friends were not only hugging their stuffed toys, but each other too.
