The sun was blazing the town of Tecpan, and one hard working mechanic was enduring it as best as he could. He was a call-in and drop off mechanic who you could either drop off your machinery too or have him come to your house and fix it there. The mechanic went by the name of Mr. Chet. He was currently fixing a motor in his front porch, watching as the day went on. Sweat dripping from his forehead into his stained ribbed white tank top and working jeans. He wiped the sweat off of himself and his wrench down. Instead, he went on to pick up a bottle of water and took a nice big drink out of it. He worked on such machiery everyday and each day having people walking by him, waving hello as they were all but weary of him. There was one particular visitor Mr. Chet spotted everyday single though, it was a young boy. Looked to be around 7 with the darkest head of hair he had ever seen and he always wore very nice clothes. Everyday he did the same, walk by Mr. Chet's house while boucing around a very pretty red ball. The ball was the envy of all other boys. It was rounder than an orange, bounced better than any rubber ball, and the nice Pikachu printed on it was just icing on the cake. You would think that this boy would have been happy with such a toy but everyday he had the same, lonely, depressed look on his face. Mr. Chet could only wonder as to why. Was he stubborn, stuck up? No, he thought. The boy was too sad to be pouting. Mr. Chet could only be left wondering by the boy.
