3 years after Prost was found...
Planet Perron, Endo Star Cluster, Nanak Galaxy

"Really?!" Prost squeaked excitedly, "Really Really?"
Grundy laughed joyfully in response, "Yeah really really!"
Prost's eyes shone with excitement, the pure joy unequalled.
"Yay!" He shouted as he danced about, "Skiing!"
Grundy laughed along. Her eyes denoted another story however, one of pure exhaustion...
'We are lucky this time... I just hope that he grows up happy..." Grundy thought to herself, 'Hopefully he can get over what's happening...'
"Alright, Prost." Grundy got serious, her voice showing tension, "You'll also have to go to kindergarten-"
"Really?!" Prost cried out joyfully, cutting her off, "Like real school?"
"Yes real school!"
Grundy was surprised that Prost was excited for school. Most kids his age were terrified of school, or simply dreaded it. As if a weight was off her back, she her steps lightened.
Currently, they were heading home from the doctors office, the happy duo, shadowed by a light sense of dread...
'Where did that come from?'
Grundy looked back, the trees lining the road to the humble abode seemed a little bit off today...
'Must be my imagination.'
---
In the air nearby the duo, a shadow giggled softly.
A figure in the shape of a mischievous toddler appeared in sight. The toddler's appearance, though nonthreatening, would scare anyone who knew of her identity shitless...
"Hehe, he's here!!" she smiled, "I've been waiting Prost!"
---
Prost, as if he could hear her, looked back...
"Mommy, who's the friend over there?" Prost suddenly asked, pointing to the shadow, "Why doesn't she come over here?"
Grundy looked to where Prost was pointing...
"Honey, there's nothing there..." Grundy said pointedly, "If there was someone there, and I couldn't tell, it's imaginary. I doubt anyone on this planet could beat me."
"But..."
"Skiing." Grundy said bluntly, almost threateningly, "Do you still want to do it?"
"Okay."
Grundy grunted, "Damn straight."
'Am I wrong?' she thought, 'He has been getting abnormally stronger lately... Just that it's not stable...'

Morkey Elementary, Planet Perron
'Bring Bring'
The bell for the end of the school day sounded, signaling the end of yet another school day for Prost. Prost sprinted outside, his messy white hair bobbing with each movement of his head.
Prost had been growing a lot lately, he was nearly the size of a 5th grader. Yet, he was in the end of his 1st grade year. A few kids were intimidated by him, despite his totally pacifistic personality.
"Yo Prost! Wait up!" shouted a loud voice, "Let's hang out after school!"
It was Mike, who was Prost's one and only friend in 1st grade. Mike, who had a loudmouth personality and a fiery temper tended to stick to Prost like glue.
Prost, being the introverted extrovert that he was, couldn't bring himself to push away the sticky boy, and decided to just tolerate it. He couldn't deny the fact that he liked having friends though... But most of Prost's friends left in preschool.
Plus they were all kinda immature. Prost chose Mike over the kids that were still in diapers by the time he started kindergarten...
"Yo Mike..." Prost started explaining, "I got a checkup today... I can't..."
Mike nodded, his eyes showing understanding, "Oh... Alright. Another day..."
Mike left quickly as he came, the signature hot headed red hair floating away like a candle in the breeze...
'Is it just me or is he being more distant?'
Prost quickly left his thoughts behind as he ran to the office three blocks down the street.
"Hey there, kiddo!" The doctor said, "Whaddya' say we figure this out for once 'ey?"
Having grown up with doctors all around, Prost was most comfortable with talking to doctors. He just didn't see why people couldn't talk to them like they were human...
"Yeah... I hope." Prost sighed, "It's kinda a burden."
"Woah there kiddo!" The doctor chuckled, "Using big words 'aintcha!"
The doctor had a funny sense of humor, and usually got Prost to laugh. Not today though...
"Sigh, yeah but..." he thought for a moment, "I feel like nothing is going good right now."
"How so?" The doctor asked as he prepared the needle.
"My only friend is being a jerk, and I..." Prost sniffled, "Never mind. Just poke me."
"Alright." the doctor laughed lightly, "But are you sure you don't want to tell me?"
"Yeah... Why?" Prost asked, his eyes showing suspicion, "Hey... Where's mom? Isn't she supposed to be here right now?"
"Hehe... Poor little boy..." The doctor giggled, "I think you need some surgery!"
The doctor's eyes glazed over, and his body dropped to the ground. From behind him, a woman he'd never seen stood holding a freshly used scalpel...
The woman cackled as she saw the terror in the boy's eyes, her crazed eyes bouncing around. She shivered in delight.
"Such a wonderful face! I love it when you look at me like that! I've never seen you like that since you betrayed me! Oh the animosity, the shame, the FEAR!" she monologued, "I can't wait to tie you up and-"
'Bonk!'
The last thing Prost heard was the sound of something crashing into his skull.

"Dammit Bernard! I'm supposed to give him THAT!" the lady cried, tears flowing down her face, "Is Grundy locked up?"
"Yes boss. Sorry boss. Grundy isn't a problem." Bernard, a hulking man of muscles in an almost drunken slur. He dragged a tied up and gagged Grundy out of a storage space, "Here's she."
"Good." The lady said happily, her tears disappearing like it was an act, "Let's roll out!"
"But boss! What about the boy?" Bernard asked, gesturing towards Mike, who was shivering in fear under a table, "Should we reward him or kill him?"
"Reward him! Why kill off the best possible informant?" the lady said, "Send him to VIA to be trained as a spy... Then let him loose."
Bernard laughed, "Okay boss!" He turned to Mike, "Hear that you little tyke? You get to be trained in the best cultivator group of this side of the universe! Rejoice!"
"T-Thank you! I will cherish this opportunity and-"
"Alright that's enough. Prost suspected you today. Either make that not happen again, and help us to turn him, or choose to be turned loose on grounds of if he ever sees you again, you'll die." The lady spoke, "I recommend the first option."
"I- Okay I'll help."
"Let's go then." the lady said calmly, "Time to turn tides of fate!"
'Yas Queen! You did it! You go gurl!' The lady gave herself encouragement through her thoughts, 'You can hold onto him in this life!'

"Wakey wakey my prince! It's your 6th birthday!" the lady spoke, "We've also conveniently arrived at our destination! I hope you enjoy your stay!"
Prost woke up, his eyes stinging from the harsh light coming from the window nearby...
"Where?" He asked, eyes scanning the premise of the room he was in, "I-"
"You're at your new home! Welcome to Vale Country Prost!" the lady said, "Sorry for kidnapping you! Teehee! By the way, my name's Sheila!"
"Why?" Prost cried, "Why?"
"Alright you've had too much time. Sleep for now until we can get you to the center."
