Author's Notes: This story is about a gang I made up. All of the Romantic
Energies, Mirror's Reflection, and Wax belong to me. The Love Shockers,
Poison Jam, Chuo Street, Hikage Street, Shibuya Terminal, etc., all belong
to the great makers of JSRF and not me. Ayame Street is made up by my
friend. The PG's as well as the jazz band in Shibuya belong to me and my
friends. Yeah, the usual. Don't sue me.

"Finally, we are alone."
Black Rose and Hand jumped off the rails they were grinding on. Black Rose, 17, was leader of the roller-blading graffiti gang known as RE, or the Romantic Energies. Their turf, though some may say it is not theirs, is Hikage Street, and their "garage" was in one of the street's many dead ends. She had long, black hair that she kept in a ponytail, though her bangs still got in her face. Her eyes were black, and she wore a short- sleeved black shirt that appeared to be torn at the edges. It hung in the back like a cape, though the front was cut off to bare her midriff. She also wore a short grey skirt and long grey gloves. She had a tattoo of a rose on her stomach. Hand, 18, was also a part of the gang. He had light- brown hair that was about chin-length and his eyes were green. He wore a long-sleeved green shirt and black pants. On the front of his shirt was a hand design, and it is said that he has a tattoo of a hand on his back. They both were, of course, on skates, and they were of similar design, except that Black Rose's were more black and Hand's were more green. The two had obvious feelings for each other. They had been trying to find some peace and quiet away from the rest of the gang, for it seemed as though Hand had something important to say.
"What is it you wanted to tell me?" Black Rose asked, now sitting on the rail.
"Well..." he started to say.
"Check out my new back move!"
Black Rose's 15-year-old brother Snap now came back-grinding up the stairs. Snap was dressed in a light yellow shirt and dark blue pants. He was also wearing a blue hat and his bleach-blonde hair stuck out a bit in the back. He had a pair of sunglasses that sat on top of his hat. No one was ever quite sure about whether or not he wore them. He carried around a camera, and took perhaps too many pictures. He had the same skate design as the others, only yellow.
"Snap! What in the world do you think you're doing!!" Black Rose jumped off the rail she was sitting on while Snap went backwards past her. "And where did you learn that move?!"
Black Rose obviously knew what the move was. She was not sure, however, if Snap knew what it was called.
"Oh, around," Snap said as he jumped off the rail and, turning around, skated over to his sister. "Do you think Blue Flame will like my new move?"
"I don't know, why don't you just ask her yourself," Black Rose said, becoming rather annoyed with Snap as her friend, 17-year-old Blue Flame, came walking up the stairs.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," she said. "But I was wondering if..."
Blue Flame wore a long-sleeved blue shirt that was somewhat "layered" in the sleeves, it was short and she too had a bare midriff. She had as well a short navy blue skirt, and skates that were, of course, in the same design, except blue. On the side of her stomach was a blue and red flame tattoo. She had blue eyes and naturally blonde hair. She seemed to attract attention from a lot of guys because of her looks. She, however, did not like this.
"Hey, Blue Flame! Check this!"
Snap turned around and started grinding on the rail. He hadn't enough speed, however, and fell off. (If you had not caught it by now, Snap has some major feelings for Blue Flame. The feelings, however, are not returned by Blue Flame.) Black Rose was starting to regret buying Snap those skates for his birthday.
"That's...uh....lovely, Snap," Blue Flame said. "What's the move called?"
"I think it's best we don't know the answer to that, Blue Flame," Black Rose said.
"Why not?" Blue Flame asked. Then she looked at Black Rose and realized, "Ohh, it's that move, isn't it."
Black Rose nodded.
"That sure is a cool move, Snap!" Star yelled from the bottom of the steps. She seemed to have just seen his back move, though she had seen it many times.
16-year-old Star wore a red tank top (that bore her stomach, as well) and light blue jeans. There was a star design on the back of her shirt as well as the bottom of her right pant-leg. She also wore black half-gloves. Her fake-red, almost-shoulder-length hair was held back in barrettes, and on her stomach was, of course, a star tattoo. It is said she is a Love Shocker wanna-be. That is, she at first wanted to be a part of the other roller-blading graffiti gang of Hikage street, and enemies of RE, the Love Shockers. She, however, changed her mind because of Snap. Yes, that is correct, Star likes Snap.
"Oh. Thanks," Snap said, really rather ungratefully.
"Will you show me how to do it?" Star asked.
"Sure. Why don't you come up here?" he said.
Black Rose just shook her head. So this is the gang she was stuck with.
