-Chapter One-

Desperate Times Calls for Desperate Measures!

It was the moment they've anticipated ever since they started applying for college. The twins were eagerly awaiting for their father to return from the post office, expecting for him to arrive home with acceptance letters. They were outside, braving the ninety-degree weather and exposing their fair skin to the hateful sun. Their mother would come scold them for being so ridiculously eager.

"Quit being so anxious and come inside! Your father will be back soon enough," was her constant message to her daughters, who continued to wait out in the front. She had no choice, but to give in. Their persistence was something to be envied because even she would not have the perseverance to keep applying to college after fifteen rejections each.

Tugging on the collar of her tee-shirt, Ryouko tried to relieve herself of the heat by getting rid of the sticky feeling she was experiencing. The messy-haired girl was standing languidly near the door, watching her sister twist and turn at unnatural angles.

"Do you have to do that?" she asked, annoyed.

Yoshiko-being quite the contortionist-brought her leg behind her head, smiling innocently at her sister's disgusted face.

"What do you expect me to do? I'm bored!"

"How 'bout going about it the normal way and sulk?"

The long-haired twin just rolled her eyes, sitting down in a chair to do just that. Ryouko's palm met her forehead for Yoshiko's childish behavior, removing itself when there was the sound of a car pulling into the driveway. Wasting no time, the twins rushed to their father, whose arms were filled with groceries.

"Mind giving me a hand, girls?" he requested, but it was all for naught as the girls searched their father down for mail and left him to deal with the grocery bags. They ran inside, past their mother and older brother, to sit in the middle of the floor with their individual parcels. After tearing into the first two letters, the girls still ran strong, ripping into others until two were left.

"That makes nineteen. Might as well see what this one says," Ryouko said in a frustrated tone. Yoshiko was over her shoulder, looking equally disappointed.

"It's from the 'Divine Order of God University?'" she said, moving in front of her sister to look her in the eyes. "Do you remember applying for this college?"

"No. It's probably one of those interest letters, but what's the harm in applying? It's not likely that we'll get accepted anyhow."

So the Tennyson twins each went online to fill out an application and went on with their normal lives, which consisted of eating, watching television, sleeping, and frequenting the internet until two letters came into the mail from the Divine Order of God University. Ryouko and Yoshiko looked at each other nervously, silently wishing luck upon the other before simultaneously opening their respective letters.

Mr. and Mrs. Tennyson and their oldest son, Shoji, watched as tears streamed down Yoshiko's face as she hugged her sister in a reassuring manner. Ryouko was just accepting her embrace while clutching onto her letter tightly.

"Well?" they all chorused, wanting to know the results.

"Twenty…" started the messy-haired twin, grinning.

"…is our lucky number!" exclaimed the long-haired one, jumping up and down excitedly. Everyone in the room burst out in happiness, crowding around the youngest members of the family up to the point Yoshiko interrupted.

"They're giving us full scholarships, too! Classes start in a couple of days and the campus is located in England…"

"Well," Mr. Tennyson said, "let's get started on getting you girls ready."

Ryouko began to argue. "But Dad, they've already paid for-wait, what?"

"I said, let's get started on getting you ready. You girls need to branch out, anyway. Even though it'll be hard not having you bother us everyday…"

And so the Tennysons focused on preparing the girls for college, which meant a lot of shopping Dad wasn't accustomed to, a lot of tears from Mom, and a lot of bravado from big brother. The days wound down for the girls to leave America and they had to take off two days before the day scheduled in preparation for Orientation.

It didn't occur to them up to the time they landed that they didn't know anything about the college they were to be attending in a matter of time.

"Ryou, is this a good idea?" Yoshiko questioned, walking with her luggage and suitcase in tow.

"What're you blabbing on about? 'Course it is! Or, at least, I think so…" came the indecisive answer. "Do you know where we're supposed to go?"

"According to what the Admissions guy said, a Chinese girl with long hair should take us where we're gonna go," she explained, searching for their alleged guide.

"Excuse me, but are you the Tennyson sisters?"

The guide was a slim girl about their age, her hair tied in really long pigtails. Yoshiko immediately envied her.

"Yep. Who's asking?" Ryouko responded, skeptical.

The girl stuck out her hand in greeting. "I'm Lenalee Lee. I'm sure you've spoken with my brother, Komui. He didn't mention that you guys were twins."

"Oh yeah. Nice to meet you. I'm Yoshiko and the rude one is Ryouko."

Ryouko moved from her defensive walls slightly. "What's good?"

Lenalee laughed nervously, guiding the girls to the main building
