Plans Taking Back

Chapter 1
Remembering Tokyo


Serena looked out the window of her apartment as the cars rolled by on the street. Each one was in a hurry to get where they needed to go. Each person let the world go by without much thought. America was very different from her home in Tokyo. There wasn't much to look at in America, save for the leaves that fell from the trees in autumn. People were not as friendly and they didn't give her a second look when she passed them in the street. New York was the city where she had been living for five years and she had tried desperately not to give Tokyo a second thought but it was difficult. Her roommate hadn't pried that much into her past, but occasionally she would find herself drifting into deep thought about her past home. Every other time she would think about Ami, Raye, Mina, Lita and Rini, who she had left behind in Tokyo.

Maybe even finding a lonely tear drifting down her cheek. When she was at her job in the café down the street she found herself thinking about the soda shop in Tokyo where she and her friends spent countless hours giggling over boys and such. Life was different but Serena felt that she was finally adjusting to the change. She had just recently made a new friend at the café and her roommate had stopped asking questions about her past. Serena finally thought that she had found her new home in New York.


Her new friend, Bethany, they seemed to have a lot in common with each other. It's been as if they had been sisters that were separated for millions of years. When she got home, her Gina had finally got home.

"Hey Serena!" She said. She had put her backpack down on the couch and pulled out a blue cd.

"You're familiar with Destiny's Child right?" asked Gina

Serena had no clue that they were, but to make her happy she said "yes".

"Good!" Serena went into her room to pull out her cd player.

"So, I went to the mall today, and I got their new Album, Survivor. They also have this other good song called"Bootylicious!" Gina said excitedly

"Okay." Serena replied

About for 45 minutes, they listened to the whole sound track. Serena just idly laded back on the couch, looked into the ceiling (at this time, Gina was putting on the song 'Lady Marmalade') Serena gazed into the ceiling, a stunning picture of Tokyo fluttered into her mind. She pictured Raye at her school play singing 'Oh Starry Night'… then another picture of Lita dancing to a song, while baking appetizing sugar cookies…Mina on the stage, trying to become a star…Amy listening to the 'Three Lights' while studding…Rini when she was helping Chad become a temple worker…and Darien in the play of Snow White with Ann (She still regrets that day)…

"Ser-en-a…(A very soft and soothing voice was rattling in her ears, but all of a sudden became as 1,000 alarm cloaks…) SERENA!!!!!" Gina yelled sharply

"Wha, What?" Serena asked, with her eyes becoming very scratchy

"You were totally out of this world, are you okay?" Gina asked, concerned

"Uh…yes, I guess so. I'm going to bed, maybe we can listen to your songs later." Serena said, smiling tiredly.

"Okay Serena, hope you'll feel better soon."

Serena lay in her bed, thinking of great and magnificent times she had had at Tokyo, but this is like a new adventure. On the other had,
Tokyo is her home, where she belongs. A place like America even couldn't keep her back. Before she has any more thoughts, she drifted into a dreamless sleep.
