AN: I am putting some of my old stories out there. This one explores into Lilly's 49er, at least my take of it. I was kind of unhappy with later seasons and never watched them, so I guess this may go against things that were revealed later on the show.

In my world the attacker was never found out.

This chapter represents the part of an episode that kinda shows the past situation so it is very short.

The next chapter is already rewritten so please let me know what you think!

Prologue: October 14th, 1988

„Bye daddy!" the eleven-year-old girl shouted as she ran away from her home towards the street. She had long dark blond hair that was streaming out behind her. As it was October already and quite chilly she was wearing a long , dark blue coat with matching gloves and scarf in a lighter color.

„Good luck with the test, honey!" a the girls father called after his daughter, waving at the slender child as it ran away. When she had vanished between the trees next to the path going down the hill, he turned around and went back inside to take care of his smaller sons. He was about thirty years old and had the same pale skin as his daughter, and was wearing a shirt and a suit, ready to go to work soon.

As the girl followed the path leading to the street she entered a small forest were the leaves of the dying trees where falling to the ground. Normally she would still be at home but today she had left early for she had still the task to pick up material for school, and so she plucked some of the most colorful maple leafs from the ground for her arts class, putting them in a little bag right away.

It took her only little time until she had enough leaves for the upcoming project and once she had the last leave in her bag she continued on her way to the street.

After she had left the woods, the girl looked on her light blue child´s watch and she saw that she had still another twenty minutes until her bus would arrive and so she headed towards the bench and deposited her bag and backpack on the floor to get out one of her books. Sitting down she then started to read one of the chapters while waiting for the bus to arrive.

After a few minutes the bus arrived on the opposite side of the street and the little girl looked up at the sound of the engine. The bus stopped only a few moments to let out a few people, but after a heartbeat she continued reading for the bus would have another stop until it would turn and come back. She didn´t see the people and the cars passing her for she was concentrated on her book again.

It was about twenty minutes later, when the bus returned, that its driver noticed that the little girl, who went to school with his line every day, was no longer sitting on the bench and her backpack and the fabric bag where gone too, leaving a little yellow note the only thing to bee seen. The rather large man checked his watch and, as he still had a few moments time, especially since the child would have been the only passenger he got out to have a look at the peace of paper, reading 'Daddy, mommy came back! Give the boys a hug!'
