AN: I started this as a one shot but now plan to do it in chapters. I had fun writing this little introduction and look forward to more. Please tell me what you think and enjoy!

On one summer day there was a little toddler wandering by herself.

Often times she would do this to free herself from the limited space offered by her house. It was a rather large house, which from the eyes of a toddler, would be even larger and there were many things to entertain a child. Still she could not bear to be kept in there for long.

She was of course safe with her mother and father watching from a distance smiling at their curious little girl.

Her name was Ayumu.

Now today felt like a special day for Little Ayumu. There were plenty of butterflies. The grass seemed particularly nice and the sun just right. It was not to hot nor was it to cold.

All of the children were busy playing. All but Ayumu, who wanted to take it all in. It all seemed so invigorating for the youngster.

She expected to do this all day and certainly she could.

But fate had other plans for her daytime revelry.

A boy carelessly tossed aside one of his toys.

"Hey you dropped your toy!" his friend said.

"I know. Who cares? It's just a stupid doll."

They left without thinking once about the discarded toy.

Ayumu almost cried for the poor thing. She rushed to it like a parent would to an injured youngster.

She held the doll in her arms and took into account it's true beauty.

It had a brown hat covering his brown haired head. Under this was a body adorned with a yellow shirt, blue jeans, a vest and a red bandanna.

She pulled the string on the back.

"You're my favorite deputy!"

She smiled.

Homeward she ran to show her precious gem to her favorite people in the world.
