Abby was alone in her mom's apartment. She looked down at the package that was sent to her. The package was sent from her father. She undid the wrapping, and found in her hands two tickets. Two plane tickets to iJapan/i. She let out a squeal of excitement. She was going to Japan, the place where manga art was invented and created. She looked deeper to find a framed poster of Beyond Birthday, her favorite manga character. She ran into her room, and looked for a place to put the poster on her wall. She found one free spot of pink wall and pasted it there. She sighed as she looked at the picture. She loved Beyond Birthday. She wished he existed; at least, it would put some excitement in her life. She was a straight "A" student, and her life was all planned out for her: she was going to become a lawyer, just like her mom. But she wanted to be an artist, not a lawyer. Then, a thought made her eyes brighten up:

"Don't worry 'bout this Abby, you are going to Japan. She whispered to herself, "And your dreams iwill/i come true."

She didn't believe in that last sentence, but all her beliefs soon changed.
