Slowly falling,

Gently falling,

Softly falling…

Shuichi chanted in his head, staring out of the car window. The blue Toyota Camry breezed along, the scenery flashing by.

Swiftly falling,

Harshly falling,

Falling, falling, falling…

Why did he and his mom have to move? And to some place out in the middle of nowhere? The pink-haired boy sighed, knowing that he wouldn't get a chance now. Record companies wouldn't be looking for a vocalist way out here.

His mom finally noticed Shuichi's melancholic mood. She glanced back at him once before speaking.

"Shuichi, it's not all that bad. You'll meet lots of new friends."

This was exactly like those situations in the movies, where some kid has to move away and give up their dream. The only thing that needed to happen now would be for talent scouts to magically find him.

Shuichi scoffed. Like that would ever happen.

"Sure, mom." He responded finally, making sure that she knew how he felt.

His mom just shook her head regretfully, and then returned her attention to concentrating on driving. "Stop pouting, Shuichi. Who knows, maybe something good could happen here."

"Why did we have to move anyways?" Shuichi asked gloomily, ignoring her reassurances. He sank further down the seat.

"Why do you keep asking me? I got a job offer out here, and it paid better."

Shuichi jerked his head from side to side forcefully, even though he knew that she couldn't see him. "We were doing fine before!"

"Shuichi Shindo, if you dare throw a fit, I swear I will leave you on the side of the road and keep driving."

The boy gulped nervously and sat up straight, knowing that she meant it.

"Fine…"

Both of them were well aware that he would be bringing it up again later, regardless of any threats.

Shuichi resumed his repeating mantra, watching trees, rocks, long, winding road.

Falling, falling, falling…

Ok, I know that I should be working on Teacher Teacher, and I am, but I just had to write this. I finished watching the anime for Gravitation two days ago. I wasn't too happy with the ending, but the characters were loveable. 3 So I'm writing my own version. XD

Chapter one will be up as soon as I finish it. O.o
