The sun was shining down on the beautiful land of Okayama. The bluish sky was filled with big puffy white clouds and the grass had a beautiful shade of green. The birds were singing their sweet soothing songs of nature in the trees.

Chris Kobayashi was sitting under a tree, admiring the view of all this. 'What a nice day.' He thought.

Chris was so amazed by the beauty of his surroundings that he didn't notice that a certain purple haired princess was walking toward him.

"Hello, Chris." She said.

He turned to face the owner of the voice. "Hello, Ayeka. What brings you here?"

"There is a certain topic that I wish to speak to you about." She answered.

"Oh ok. What is it?" He asked hoping that the topic had something to do with her feeling about him.

"Yes I know what you're thinking. The topic is about us."

He jumped up into a standing position. "Really?"

Ayeka smiled. "Yes really."

"That's good. Okay so what about us?"

"Well as you know I am perfectly aware of your feeling for me, Chris. So I decided to take some time and think about mine toward you. And I have come to a conclusion. My heart and mind tells me that I feel the same way about you."

"Ayeka you have just made a very happy man."

'I know, Chris. I also just wanted to say that I'm sorry for keeping my feeling bottled up for a such a long time."

Chris placed his arms around Ayeka. "Better late than never, my love."

She smiled once more. "I love you, Chris Kobayashi."

"And I love you, Ayeka Juria."

The couple's faces started to move closer toward to each other until their lips finally met in a long and passionate kiss. They stopped suddenly when a loud rattling sound started.

"What is that loud irritating noise?" Ayeka asked as she looked around.

"I don't know but it sounds like a bunch of bells." Chris said.

-------------------------------------------------------

Chris rolled around in his bed. He looked over at the thing that was making the noise. It was his alarm clock. 'Damn I was dreaming about her again.' He slowly moved his hand next to the shaking device and knocked it on the floor. The impact silenced the clock.

When Chris's tiredness level began to lower and his brain activity was returning, he finally realized one something. "Holy shit! I'm going to be late for work." He jumped out of his bed and ran to the closet. Chris quickly began to put on his business suit.

Once he was dress, he ran out of his apartment and toward his car. It was a nice little fixed up 97 Honda Civic. Chris placed the key in the ignition and then he was off.

Fifteen minutes later, he arrived at a tall building that had the words "Good Entertainment Inc." on the very top of it.

He walked in and took the elevator to the 69th floor. When the doors opened, Chris tried his hardest to get to his cubicle without being noticed. But he failed to do so.

"Can I see you in my office, Mr. Kobayashi?"

"Yes, Mr. Smith."

Chris followed his boss into the office and took a seat in the chair in front of the desk.

Mr. Smith sat down and took a long look at Chris before he began to speak. "Mr. Kobayashi, this company functions as one unit. So when one of us does something wrong, we all do something wrong. Do you understand that?"

Chris nodded. "Yes sir."

"Do try to get to work on time, Mr.Kobayashi. Because if this happens again, you won't have a job to be late to."

"Okay, sir." Chris got up from the chair. He was turning to leave when his boss began to speak once more.

"Oh yeah and another thing. I saw your article. What is this cartoon stuff you keep on writing about? What is it called? Ten something."

Chris sat back down. "Sir, it's called Tenchi Muyo. And I believe that the correct terminology is Japanese animation."

"I don't care. People want to read articles about more important things in entertainment. Not this cartoon crap."

"But sir I've been writing about anime since you hired me. My articles have been in several of the magazines already. The whole department has been very popular. We receive so many letters a day about the things that I have written about."

"Well it's time for a change. I don't see the significance of your anime department so I'm getting rid of it. And if you still want to be with this company I suggest you stop writing about this japan crap and start doing something better. Am I understood?" Mr. Smith said.

"Yes, sir. I understand completely. But writing about anime is something I love to do. I have a passion for it. So if I can't do what I love here, then I don't want to be here at all. I quit, Mr. Smith."

"Okay that's fine. We didn't really need you that much anyway. This will help loosen the budget a little bit. So I believe you know the drill. Have your things cleared out by the end of the day."

"Oh yeah! One more thing before I leave, sir."

Mr. Smith sighed. "What is it?" He screamed.

Chris flipped him the bird. "Fuck you!"

The conservation ended with that. Chris got up and walked to his cubicle. He took out a box and began to put all of his personal items into it. When he was done, he grabbed the box and proceeded back to the elevator. Chris exited the building with a big smile on his face. 'Screw this place. I'll find a place where my work is appreciated. I never liked it here anyway.' He thought.

Night...

"Hey buddy you look down. Got something you want to get off your chest?" The bartender asked.

Chris looked up at her. "Yeah I quit my job today."

"Where did you work at?"

"Good Entertainment."

"Why did ya quit?" She asked.

"They didn't like my work. They wanted to me to change. But I can't do that. I can't stop doing the thing that I love to do."

"What is it that you like to write about?"

"Animations."

"You mean cartoons right?"

"No Japanese anime. That's what I love. I write articles and reviews on the stuff. I've seen so much of it and I also read lots of it. I have traveled many times to Japan to get interviews with the people who were responsible for the things that brought me and others such happiness. I mean I might sound a little crazy but sometimes I even wish it were real. Well not all of them. Just this one called Tenchi Muyo. There's this female character that I really admire..."

The bartender started to laugh. "Well no wonder. Sounds like you're some kind of weirdo. Liking cartoon characters...that's just nonsense. Get out of here! We serve hard working people not perverts."

Chris slammed his cup on the counter. He walked out of the bar ignoring the laughter from all around the room.

He was walking to his car when he stopped suddenly. 'Just great! More bad shit happens to Chris tonight.' He was watching as four guys were trying to break into his car. "Well here we go again."
