"Hey Lucien! Let write ourself letter in the future and bury them here!"

Little Fana tell Lucien as they are seating in the wooden play house. Lucien looks excited and he nod his head in agreement.

"Sure! Let me get paper from mom. Wait here Fana!"

Lucien stand up and brush his pants. He quickly run to get his parent who is setting up picnic mattress next to a tree.

"Lucien don't run or else you will fall!" Lucien's mother tell him as he was running towards her.

"Mom can you give me some papers and an empty bottle. Fana and I want to make a time capsule." Lucien hugs his mother and she carry him in her arm.

"Okay, okay. But don't you run again next time. Dad, can you give Lucien some papers and the empty bottle of coke that you have already finish just now." She look at Lucien's father and he smile to her.

"Here you go, young man.Oh, and here is pen for you to write. Dad don't have any crayon with me. I hope this will do." He hands out the paper and 2 pieces of envelope to Lucien.

Lucien take the papers and the empty envelope. Then he turn to his father and asked,"Where is the bottle, Dad?"

Lucien's father scratch his head and say with apologetic voice."Opss my bad!" He wash the bottle with the lake water then hand it to him. "Here take this. Oh Lucien, I think you better put this too."

He give Lucien picture of him and Fana in front of the flower garden that he have visited last month. Lucien's eyes glitter and went hug his father.

"Thanks Dad! Fana sure will like this!" Little Lucien was so happy to see the picture. He jumps off his father arm, waving good bye at him.

"Bye Dad! I go and play with Fana first!" He turn at his mother and waving at her with his sweetest smile. He run towards the wooden house.

Both of them wave back at him and continues preparing the picnic. They look at each other with full of love and laugh lightly.

Lucien pant as he arrived there. Fana was there soaking her feat in the lake. She look at Lucien and saw the papers in his hand. She was excited, her eyes glitter up and she quickly take off her feet from the cool lake water.

"Hurry up Lucien! Lets write right now!" She hurry up and seat down in the wooden play house.

"Okay!" Lucien puts down the papers and hand her a pen.

Fana take a piece of paper and starts to write. As she write she mumble and try to spell out loud.

"Dear....my...self..s-e-l-p" She spell the words wrongly and Lucien laugh at her.

"HAHHAHAHHA! You dont even know how to spell self, how are you going to write a letter." He take the letter and help her correct it.

"Hmph! You jerk! At least I know how to write my name." Fana pouts as she was tease by him.

Then she grab the letter from him and continues writing. Lucien just chuckle as she was so cute when she is angry. Both of them write the letter and put it in envelope. Lucien hand out the picture of both of them. She look at it and smile began to carve on her lips.

"Wow! I look so cute in this picture!" Fana hold the picture and take a close look of the picture.

"Lets put it in my envelope, I want to keep it when I open this in the future." She look at Lucien then place it in the envelope.

Then Lucien put in his letter with Fana's letter in the empty bottle. Both of them use their tiny bare hands and started to dig a hole that's near the wooden play house. After that, they bury the bottle underneath it.

"Lets go and eat shall we?" Lucien look at Fana and offer his hand.

"Yup, lets go!" She take his hand and stand up. Then her face turns pale as if she was scared of something.

Lucien turn his back and saw his parents run towards him. "Run, Jane! Bring the children with you!" Lucien's father shouts as he run towards him.

*Bang*

"Father...." Lucien was stunned as he saw his father fall down and blood started to flow out from his chest.

"Alex!!" Lucien's mother shout as she saw her husband has been shoot. But she run towards Lucien and shout,"Run, Lucien! Take Fana with you! Now run!!"

*Bang*

Lucien's mother fall on the ground. Holding her stomach, she use her last breath and say,"Run...." She close her eyes and never open them again.

"Mother...." Lucien's eyes are wide open and tears slowly fall down from his check. Suddenly a warm hand stroke his cheek. He open his eyes wide and saw Fana was there wiping his tears.

"I have already found you, Lucien...."
