Year:1997

"Very good, Number eight"
Dads voice filled the training room as I slid to a stop at the end of the obstacle coarse.
"Again"
I looked up at him from where I was crouched down, panting as I slowly shifted from a black cat back to a human.

"When can I go join the others?"
I asked, all my brothers and sisters had already finished their training.

"Once you figure out how to transform into something other than a cat"
He replied.

I peered out a small window. I saw Allison and Luther sitting down talking,
Klaus and Ben were playing tick tack toe,
Mum was helping Diego with his studder,
Vanya was nowhere to be seen (probably inside studying)
and Five was spying on me and Dad through the window.
He saw me staring at him and smiled, I smiled back.
"NUMBER EIGHT"
I jumped and turned towards dad.
He looked at me,
then out the window at five who was trying to hide as best he could while still being able to see through the window.

"Shit" I thought as I followed his gaze to the top of Fives head poking out from below the windowsill.

Later that day

"Completely unacceptable, Number Five. Distracting Number Eight during training could cost her her life or us failing a mission."

I dug my toes into the bottom of my shoes as I waited outside dads office for Five.
Dad was always loud when telling one of us off so even though the doors were closed, I could hear everything word.

"You don't want to stay here on our next mission like Number seven, do you?!"
I could hear Five mumble a reply but I couldn't make out what he said.
"Now go, and Tell Number Eight that this concludes her train for today."

The door to his office swung open and Five walked out.
I peeked through the doir before slammed shyt behind Five.
Dad was at his desk, taking notes like always.

"Hey y/n?"
I turned to face Five, he was looking down at his feet.
"I'm sorry first distracting you in training."
He looking up, his eyes meeting mine.
"It's fine"
I replied.
"Besides, now we have the whole day to do what we want."
I tried to cheer him up.

"Ya know ... I've been working on something I want to show you."
Five raised his eyebrows.
"Don't you wanna see it?"

"What is it?"
I asked.

Five smirked.
"We'll I guess you won't know till you say yes."
I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"Fine"

Fives smirk turned into a grin as he took my hand and lead my outside to the courtyard.
He let go of my hand and turned towards me.

"I saw you turn into a cat in there. That was pretty awesome."
I smiled and looked down at my feet.
"Thanks"
I scuffed the ground with my shoe.
"But dad didn't think so."
I looked back up at Five, he was only a few inches taller than me.

"Sorry what did you wanna show me?"
Five smiled and reached into the back pocket of his shorts.
He pulled out a small silver charm bracelet with nine charms on it.

"I made it out of some of mums sewing stuff."
He held it out to me.
"It's for you"

I took it and put it on, holding up my wrist so I could admire it as it sparkled in the sunlight.
"It's beautiful."
I said, rotating my hand do I could see all the charms.

"What do the charms mean?"
I asked, looking back at Five.

"There are nine charms. Ones and umbrella to represent the umbrella academy, and the other eight represent the eight of us. An fist for Luther, a knife for Diego, lips for Allison, a ghost for Klaus, tentacles for Ben, a violin for Vanya, a heart for-"
Five cut himself off and stared at the bracelet.
"Is the heart for you?"
I asked.
He looked at the ground and nodded.
"That's cute"
I reassured him.
He looked back up at me with a smile.
"And the cat is ... well ... you"

I fidget with the charm bracelet in my hand as Five was talking.
"I love it"
I jumped at him with a hug.
We stay that way for what seemed like hours, but in reality it was only a few seconds, the we pulled apart.

"How did you even make this?"
I asked.
" Well, first I-"
Five was cut off by the dinner bell.
"Guess we'll have to finish our conversation later."
I said and we both ran inside for dinner.
