Prologue

Yukari ran up the stairs loudly singing Hitomi's latest song lyrics. "I want to thank you for pointing out everything I did wrong. For making it impossible---,"

"YUKARI SHUT UP! Those lyrics aren't done yet!" Hitomi yelled as she chased her loud-mouthed friend up the stairs. When she reached her room she could hear Yukari singing the rest of the chorus.

" To be happy again, for destroying my dreams and my life, and for making reality so damn real"

"Yukari! I asked you to tell me what you thought not to sing the lyrics loud enough for all of Austria to hear! Shesh," Hitomi flopped down on her bed next to Yukari.

" Well I couldn't give you a good review if I didn't have any idea of how the song goes. Plus I'm a great singer and you better remember that!"

"…."

" Anyways am I right or am I right?"

" Your insane to tell you the---…" Hitomi didn't get a chance to finish her sentence due to the pillow be slammed into her face. When Hitomi felt the pillow lighten up a bit she yelled through the pillow "CHILD ABUSE!"

" So? I'm not an adult so that doesn't make it child abuse."

" …Uh… abuse to dumb animals?"

"Who's the dumb—Ohh I get it! HAHAHA!"

" Wow! You slow, aren't you?" before Yukari could do anything to shut 'tomi up Hitomi's mom walked in.

"Is everything alright in here girls? I heard yelling and bad singing."

" Of course Mrs. Kanzaki. Why would any thing be wrong?" Yukari adding a very cheap innocent smile.

" Yukari, we all know that that smile isn't worth ten cents and that you are no where near innocent. Will you be staying for supper sweetie?"

"Uh no I don't think I will be. So that's a no."

" Ohh ok. And before I forget please refrain from singing again" Mrs. Kanzaki smiled and shut the door before Yukari could say anything else. Hitomi started laughing hysterically at the dumb founded look on her face.

"Shut up you!" Yukari fell to Hitomi's floor with a sigh. " I wish my parents were more like your parents. My mom won't even consider letting me paint my room black like yours. I was willing to compromise to and go for red or maroon, but no--!"

" Yukari we both know how long it toke me to get my parents to let me change the color of my room but even then there were compromises. I had to pay for everything. Remember when we spilt some paint on my rug and my dad made me replace my entire rug!"

" Haha! How could I forget? You were winning for months after words that you spent all the money you had saved up! Good times good times...sighcrap its four sorry tomi but I gota go."

" Bye! Don't forget to bring my Evanescence CD."

"Bies! I wont!"

6 pm (dinner)

" So how was school today my darlings?" asked Mrs. Kanzaki as she poured more mashed potatoes on her plate.

"Same old same old" Hitomi and Marmora (did I spell that right?) answered together.

"Uh-huh."

" I had a nice day." Mr. Kanzaki said " I have some news." The table silenced waiting to hear their father's news. " Well I was hoping to save this till a little later but what good does procrastinating do? Ok here goes nothing. I have been transferred." Mr. Kankazi's smile faded when he saw his children's less than happy faces. Seeing the disappointment in her husband's face she jumped up and put on the happiest face she could muster.

" Oh honey that's great! When do we have to move?"

" A few weeks. Two at the most." Disappointment was evident in her husband's voice. She could tell that her husband was expecting a much happier reaction from their family.

Hitomi piped up with a " that's great dad" but every one could tell that she was less than happy to be moving away. "I'm gonna go upstairs. I lost my appetite."

Hitomi ran up the stairs as fast as she could. When she got in her room she noticed her breathe was coming short. 'Okay tomi breathe… that's right… in…. and out…. In…. and out. OMG OMG OMG OMG! I have to call Yukari!' Hitomi quickly jumped across her bed and reached for her phone. Dialing Yukari's number from memory Hitomi put the phone to her ear and listened to the ringing. ' Come on Yukari pick up!' When the ringing stopped hitomi heard the familiar sound of her friends voice.

"Hello?"

"Yukari! Emergency…"
