In the hospital, a baby who has brown hair, white skin and on his face has a birthmark of a crescent moon.

Two shadows are above the baby.

A doctor who has short blue hair, wearing a mask, gloves, regular doctor clothes named Elijah.

Elijah is looking at a woman who has long brown hair, white skin, wearing a pink dress, a watch, and white heels named Oliva.

"I'm sorry, but he has heart disease", said Doctor Elijah.

"Oh no!" gasped Oliva, puts her hands on her face.

"It won't kill him quickly, but he will be weak, so have him come here weekly", said Doctor Elijah.

"I will", said Olivia.

Olivia picks up the baby, kisses him on the forehead and says "I will protect you".

At her home, Olivia is rocking the baby in the chair.

"Mommy, will we lose our new baby brother, like dad?" asked a 6-year-old girl who has short brown curly hair, wearing a yellow dress with a black belt around it and white shoes beside Olivia.

"No, the doctor says he will be fine", said Olivia, still rocking and looking at the baby sleeping.

"What will his name be?" asked Another girl who has short spiky brown hair, wearing sunglasses on her head, yellow shirt, blue skirt, and blue heels named Cassie.

"Hmmm, Aya, what do you think?" asked Olivia. "You are my go to girl for coming up with a name".

Then, Olivia winks.

Aya has short brown hair with pink streaks, white skin, rosy cheeks, wearing a white shirt, blue skirt, and white heels.

"Hmmm", said Aya, then looked at the baby."You will be Clemente".

"Clemente, I like it", Olivia smiled, then rubs Aya's hair. "Good job".

"Thanks mom", said Aya.

"Don't worry, baby brother, we will take good care of you", said Cassie, and kiss him on the forehead.

Eighteen years later, a boy who has long brown hair, wearing a school uniform getting his bag, and headphones in a room, then leaves out the bedroom door.

"Clemente, mom went to a meeting, so i'm driving you to school", said Cassie, spinning keys in her hand.

Cassie has a ponytail, wearing a short orange dress and heels.

"Okay", said Clemente.

"Wait, don't leave yet", said Aya, with roller skates on.

Aya has straight hair, wearing a blue shirt, white skirt, and roller skates.

Aya kisses Clemente on the cheek, and roller skates into a living room.

"I can't believe she is running her own business", said Cassie, then walks away.

"See ya, Aya", said Clemente.

"See ya, baby brother", said Aya, as she roller skates over the carpet in a circle.

Cassie and Clemente enter a red convertible.

"Clemente, what are you planning to do after highschool?" asked Cassie, as she backs up out of the driveway.

"What can I do? It's too much stress", said Clemente, sadly.

"Oh, common, before you did say, you wanted to be a manga artist", said Cassie.

"I did, but i'm nervous", said Clemente.

"Listen, Clemente, you may have a weak body, but you can't let that keep you from living your dream", said Cassie. "After all dad didn't, he kept going and I know he will tell you the same".

'Dad, did have a similar condition to mine, yet he kept living life with a smile', thought Clemente. 'How did he do it?'

Cassie smiles.

They arrive at the school.

"Okay, we're here", said Cassie. "Have a good day".

"Thanks, I will continue to be positive", said Clemente.

"That's the attitude", said Cassie, with a smile.

Then, Clemente takes the bag, and exits out of the car.

"Love you", said Cassie, then closed the door.

"Love you too", said Clemente.

Clemente walks away and heads to the school.

Cassie watches Clemente go into the school and says "He needs to find a girlfriend".

In school, Clemente walks into the hallway passing people.

'I will work on becoming a manga artist', thought Clemente, with his fist clenched.

Clemente sees a girl who has short curly brown hair, wearing a grey shirt, red skirt, and white shoes leaning on the locker.

The girl smiles at Clemente, and says "Hello".

The girl's name is Carol.

"Are you working on your manga today as well?" asked Carol, with a cheerful smile.

"I am", said Clemente.

"Good, I'll help you, also remember when I told you he should do something fun together?" Carol offered.

"Yeah, you thought of something?" asked Clemente.

"Bingo", said Carol. "A picnic at the zoo".

"Interesting", said Clemente. "Sure it sounds good".

"Great, we can go tomorrow, since we have no activities to do", said Carol.

"You sure are happy", said Clemente.

"Of course, we are best friends, yet we haven't gotten to hang out", said Carol.

"Sorry", Clemente apologized.

"It's not your fault, after all, I was planning to take you to a party, I wasn't thinking I put too much pressure on you", Carol realized.

"Say, you want to help me with my manga, there's a scene I can't draw the way I want", Clemente lied.

Carol smiles with sparkly eyes, puts her two hands on Clemente, and says "I would love too".

"Great, let's go", said Clemente

Carol puts her hands on Clemente's shoulder with a smile on her face and walks together.

Carol and Clemente walk into a classroom and Clemente closes the door.
