Chapter 1 A City of Dreams

-as Matt is on the plane flying to Mitakihara, he listens to a voice recording that was sent to him-

Sayaka: -recording- hey Matt, it's me Sayaka. I'm really happy that you are coming to Mitakihara. Anyway, once you do come over on December 19 please meet me near the entrance of Terminal 1. I will be there in a rental car, a red Honda Fit. Please be sure to check the terminal for the car, okay? Anyway, see you later cousin! I hope to see you there! And please, I hope you enjoy living in the city! -recording ends-

Matt: oh trust me, cus. I really am going to have one hell of a time here at Mitakihara -the plane arrives at the Mitakihara Internation Airport, landing on the runway. After a while, Matt gets through customs and reaches the terminal; Sayaka is seen holding a sign that says マット川崎 (Matt Kawasaki)- hey! -waves at Sayaka-

Sayaka: hey Matt! -she runs to him and hugs him tightly- it's been a while!

Matt: it sure has! -laughs, hugging her- it's been 5 years since our last meet! Man, look at you! You look like a model already! -pats her head-

Sayaka: hey, don't embarrass me like that! -laughs, hugging him still- anyway, let's go to my house?

Matt: of course. I wanna see what your crib looks like -they go to the car-

Sayaka: don't worry, you will get used to what the crib looks like. May look like crap to you, may look nice. But you have been in America for so long; I don't think you will know the difference -laughs-

Matt: trust me; I remember my home city very well. -they reach the car and enter, Sayaka in the driver seat and Matt in the passenger seat- I just hope that this place isn't like Liberty City or Los Santos. God are those places shitholes.

Sayaka: oh? How so? -she starts the car up and starts to drive-

Matt: can't go through a day without having some stupid American driving like a hoodlum. They make stereotypes on Japanese being shitty drivers; they have to take a damn good look at themselves.

Sayaka: tell me about it -laughs- just the other day, me and my friends saw several American drivers and man were they driving like madmen!

Matt: that reminds me; I heard rumors of your driving. You better keep it all to yourself.

Sayaka: hey! I got better at driving!

Matt: how much better; to the point that you finally stopped hitting the pedestrians?

Sayaka: I never hit anyone with the car! Stop saying that I'm a bad driver!

Matt: I didn't say you were a bad driver… I was simply saying that you were hitting pedestrians.

Sayaka: that's technically calling me a bad driver! -she hits Matt on the shoulder as she drives-

Matt: ow! That fuckin' hurt!

Sayaka: you deserved it for making fun of my driving you asshole -they reach the town area, Matt looking around-

Matt: wow… looks like the place got a little bit more redecorating. Place looks like paradise, a city that I would live in for a lifetime.

Sayaka: a whole lot better than Liberty City?

Matt: a whole lot better than Liberty City and Los Santos combined, not to mention Las Venturas or Vice City.

Sayaka: you went to 4 different cities during your stay in America?

Matt: yep, 4 different cities and 1 county and that county being Blaine County.

Sayaka: I see -they reach her apartment- well, here it is. Let's get you unpacked and get you ready for your new life here in Mitakihara.

Matt: alright then -as the car gets parked, Matt starts to get the suitcases out from the trunk of the Honda- by the way, I got you a little souvenir from my time down at Liberty City.

Sayaka: really? What is it? -curious-

Matt: -hands her a shirt of the Statue of Happiness- you said you wanted a souvenir from Lady Happiness, so I got you one -laughs- and I got myself a souvenir from the Alderney Correctional Facility.

Sayaka: eh!?

Matt: don't worry -he shows her a picture of him and several security guards- what did you think I was about to say? That I robbed a bank or something?

Sayaka: well, yeah… after saying that you got a souvenir from the Alderney Correctional Facility…

Matt: haha! Tricked you for the first time in a while! -laughs at Sayaka-

Sayaka: you better take that back you asshole! -she grabs Matt by the collar of his shirt-

Matt: okay, okay! I'm sorry!

Sayaka: oh yeah, don't you have stuff coming in?

Matt: no I don't, actually. Sold almost everything before I came

Sayaka: eh!? Really!?

Matt: yep. Gonna start fresh no American dirt on my hands.

Sayaka: alright -she gets one of Matt's suitcases- by the way; I think you are going to like my roommate. You and her will get along just nicely.

Matt: oh joy, I'm jumping in my shoes -sarcastic-

Sayaka: yeah right… -she gets the keys and unlocks the door- just act normal okay?

Matt: fine, fine… by the way, define normal in your world.

Sayaka: no stupid shit

Matt: fine… fair's fair I guess.

Sayaka: yep -they enter the house, her roommate, Kyouko, is watching T.V.-

Kyouko: hey, who is it?

Sayaka: it's me, and I have someone new for you -laughs a bit-

Kyouko: eh? Who is it, a moron like the last few boys that dated me?

Sayaka: even better; my cousin -she lets Matt enter the room-

Matt: howdy -he puts the suitcase against the wall and bows-

Kyouko: knew it

Matt: hey, if you want me to be a complete jackass, call me a moron in my face and we will see who lives to have another meal then.

Kyouko: yeah, yeah, whatever Yankee.

Matt: I didn't even come from Liberty City and she's calling me a Yankee…

Kyouko: then what's with the accent, Yankee?

Matt: I lived in Los Santos for 2 years and Liberty City for 3, but I wasn't born there nor did I come from the cities. I've grown used to speaking in an American accent.

Kyouko: it's settled, you're a Yankee.

Matt: shut the fuck up, bitch. At least I'm not dressed like some slut.

Kyouko: what was that!? -she stands up and puts her body against his-

Matt: you're a slut

Kyouko: I'll have you know that I am not a slut!

Matt: okay, you're a whore.

Kyouko: I am not that either!

Sayaka: can we just calm down and get dinner…?

Kyouko: good idea… -growls, looking at Matt- maybe we can leave the Yankee here

Sayaka: he's my cousin; Kyouko -laughs a bit-

Kyouko: so? He's acting like a bitch -glares at Matt-

Matt: is that so? If you think I act like a bitch, take a closer look at the people who live in Liberty City, or Los Santos, or hell, even Las Venturas.

Kyouko: whatever. Let's just go before Matt decides to bore me the hell out. By the way, can I use my car instead of that rental?

Sayaka: sure. I don't get how you can drive that thing though.

Matt: what thing?

Kyouko: my Chevy Suburban. It's a 1979 C20 model that was imported from the U.S.

Matt: oh joy, how much I miss seeing that GMC. -Kyouko puts on her boots- by the way, are you really gonna be dressed like that?

Kyouko: yeah? Why? -she's wearing a green sweater with a black undershirt and denim short shorts-

Matt: you remind me of one of the strippers I seen at the U.S.

Kyouko: eh!? Shut up, asshole! -they walks to the Suburban-

Matt: by the way; Sayaka, why didn't you just take Kyouko's Chevy Suburban?

Kyouko: -whispers in Matt's ear- it's because she isn't used to left-hand drive. She only knows how to use right-hand drive.

Matt: oh… so it's not a matter of preference, but her knowledge on driving

Kyouko: yep. She's afraid she might hit a fire hydrant if she drove the Chevy -laughs-

Sayaka: stop picking on me!

Matt: I wasn't picking on you, Sayaka. It's okay to tell us how bad you are at driving

Kyouko: like how you managed to break the mirror of your car just by going 30 km/h -laughs-

Matt: she really did that!?

Kyouko: yep! -laughs, Sayaka is crying a bit-

Matt: then again, I did manage to break someone's windshield just by staring at it.

Kyouko: seriously!?

Matt: dead serious. Then again, I think the bastard broke it before and used Elmer's Glue or cheap 100 Yen stick glue to fix it.

Kyouko: pfft hahahaha!

Sayaka: I'm not a horrible driver -crying-

Matt: hey, don't worry -pats Sayaka's head- we were just joking. God you act like a kid -laughs, patting her head; his phone rings- dammit.

Kyouko: you already have a phone?

Matt: I held onto it as a souvenir from the Apple Company -he answers- hello? Oh… I see. Well, if that's the case then Mikey, let them come. I can handle anything the Triads send. Yeah, don't worry about me. Just worry about your own family for now, okay? Alright then, I'll see you later… yeah, bye.

Kyouko: wait, who's Mikey? And why the hell did you mention Triads?

Matt: don't worry about it. It's a problem that only me and Mikey will handle. I don't want you to get involved.

Kyouko: alright -she gets in the driver seat- by the way I bet you drove here before. Did you have a license before?

Matt: yep. But I guess it will need renewing. I haven't driven here for 5 years.

Kyouko: what kind of license do you have? Do you have a motorcycle or car license, or both?

Matt: I have both licenses, though I do drive motorcycles more often.

Kyouko: just wondering, what kind of motorcycle do you plan to buy once you get your licenses renewed?

Matt: probably a Ducati 848 Streetfighter, maybe a Honda CBR1000RR.

Sayaka: -gets in the back seat- how about the Suzuki GSX-R1000?

Matt: -gets in the passenger seat- maybe. But I'm probably gonna get a Ducati 848 Streetfighter. Looks cool and performs well last time I drove it.

Kyouko: -starts to drive- it's going to be pricey, though. Ducati's don't come cheap.

Matt: I know. Right now, I have enough cash to get the Ducati. Besides, if I don't, I can always do a bit of work around here.

Sayaka: well you just came back, you should give it some time after you get used to Mitakihara again.

Matt: good point. Don't want to buy a motorcycle or car and then get lost in the city all of a sudden. -as they drive through the streets, a Triad is seen looking at the license plate of the car and the model of it as well-

Triad Goon: -contacts his leader- I found where Matt is. Should I move in to take him down?

Triad Leader: not yet. Wait for the right moment, when they are on an isolated road.

Triad Goon: got it -he hangs up and gets on his Triumph Daytona 675R and begins to drive off towards the direction Kyouko, Matt and Sayaka are going-

Matt: -a chill runs down his back- whoa…

Sayaka: what is it? Is there something wrong?

Matt: it's nothing… I just have the feeling that we are being followed…

Kyouko: don't worry -laughs a bit- probably just a little bit of paranoia from your time in the United States. Besides, if we were in the U.S. and we saw someone following us, then I would probably drive the car off of the road just to avoid him!

Matt: that's the most logical way to go actually, especially if there are no intersections.

Kyouko: right? -laughs, driving towards the restaurant-

Matt: yeah -laughs a bit and thinks to himself- but I really do think we are being followed…

-TO BE CONTINUED-

QUESTION: Hitomi Shizuki will be involved in the crossover and, just like in the Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica anime, will have feelings for Kyousuke. How do you think should this problem be handled?

A. Kill Her

B. Let her live and force her to go out of relationship with Kyousuke

C. Let her live and let her continue having a relationship with Kyousuke
