Monochrome Lynx: (to audience) Hello and welcome to Tensei II, and we're your hosts! My name is Monochrome Lynx, and this here is Seven Silver! ...That sounds so cliché.
Seven Silver: Yup. Sorry to break it to yah, Lynx
ML: (sighs) Oh well. Shall we let the readers move on to the story?
7S: I promise you, this story isn't as cliché as this pre-story script—and yes, let the readers go on!
ML: On with the story!
.

Two young women.
Two young women flying to London.
Two young women flying to London for a school event.
Two young woman flying to London for a school event, falling, panicking—dead before they hit the water.
Two young women, born again.

It started like so:
Alice Grey, freshmen in an American high school somewhere in Texas, stared out the window in wonder. Having never been on a plane before, she wanted to drink in the scenery of flying above the clouds. She'd been doing so for the last hour.
Then there was Elleina Tamayo, another freshman in an American high school. She stared out the window with familiarity, having already boarded planes several times before. It wasn't at all new to her and she soon grew exasperated with gazing at clouds outside their tiny window. It reminded her of the many times she moved in and out of countries against her will—helplessly watching as she's torn away from a life she had just gotten used to.
Elleina frowned, turning away from the window. She slept the trip away, not knowing what else to do otherwise.
Alice looked over to her friend as she slept. She gave a tiny smirk when she remembered her other friends' jealousy. She had barely met the requirements for the drawing that chosen the lucky students, and somehow, she'd made it. And yay for that! She'd needed it, too. Her latest story had been rotting for five months, and even though she'd played through the game three times since, she was still stuck on the… what chapter was it? She pulled her glorified tablet and pulled up a the internet. Dear god, it was really bad when she forgot what chapter she was on!
A second before she could open the page, the 'bloop' of Skype grabbed her attention away. Alice snorted at the chat. After adding in her thoughts, she was bombarded by messages from her friends. They had all entered the drawing. No one other than Elleina had won—well, none other than the other students—
The plane shook. Turbulence, most likely, but that didn't to help calm the erratic terror that rose in her mind. In her mind's eye, smoke trailed from the right wing and out into the night sky…
But it was real!
Elleina jolted awake, turning turned to Alice and giving her a questioning glance. However, she only saw Alice string out of the window, eyes wide in horror. Curious, she peered outside the window and her own eyes widened.
"What's happening?" She shouted, alarmed.
"I-I don't know…" Alice's voice shook. Fear gripped her heart, thousands of times worse than looking down on the Titan at Six Flags. Someone (another student? another passenger?) screamed behind them, and then—
The wing exploded, a burst of heat overwhelmed passengers. Loud screams and shouts could be heard, and little children cried in terror.
From beside Elleina, the window burst open, sending glass shards in every which way. She screamed as she saw Alice's head whip back, a shard sticking out of her forehead like a unicorn's horn, eyes still wide. But before she could do anything else, her scream was suddenly silenced by another—larger—explosion, and… was dead in milliseconds.

7S: How'd you like it? Well, I mean we died. That's something... right?
ML: I died a unicorn. YAY! And yeah. So (to reader) if you haven't guessed, this is a double self insert staring the personas of yours truly and 7S.
7S: I know, genius.
ML: I honestly can't tell if you're using sarcasm or calling the idea genius... ^ ^"
7S: hehehehe... No one knows how my mind works. I'm a genius.
ML: But who's the (SPOILER) here?
7S: AAAAHHHH MY EYES! I CAN NEVER UNSEE WHAT I JUST SAW! MAYDAY MAYDAY (runs around the room)
ML: What the f*k?
7S: MY POOR SPOILED EYES TT. TT
ML: (to audience, because I like to talk to you) Well, while my partner here is acting like a plane [the pun], I'm going to say the traditional "REVEIW!" and wave good-bye as we fade into a Lee-Gai-sensei-induced sunset...
7S: eyes...
ML: ...and RIP 7S's eyes while you're at it
(a scene of Lee and Gai-sensei hugging appears along with the sunset-of-eye-burning-and-biju-terrifying-youthfulness)
