This is my very first fan fiction! Please review so that I can change what is needed. Be brutal, if need be.

Chapter 1: Happy Birthday
"What…? I haven't told anyone in LME about it, except Mr. Sawara, President Lory and… Oh, Father!" Kyoko was astounded; before Kuu had left, to go back to America, he had asked her when her birthday was. President Lory had called her this morning to make sure she was coming to work. Kyoko was already wondering about that, but she had received this envelope form Ren Tsuruga. She finally decided to open it.
"Oh my goodness! Father, why on earth did you send these to me?" Kyoko was shocked.
Ren wasn't sure how to react, either. He didn't know what was in the package he had just handed to Miss Mogami, but apparently it was interesting, because she was talking to herself again.
"Umm, Miss Mogami?" He asked tentatively.
Her head snapped up, "Yes Mr. Tsuruga? Is something wrong?"
"If I might ask, what is in the package that is so very amazing? I was curious because you are talking to yourself again."
"Oops! Sorry, Mr. Tsuruga. Father sent me some round trip tickets to his home in America!" Kyoko was excited now.
"Kuu Hizuri sent you airplane tickets to America for your birthday?"
"Yes he did… Wait, how did you know about my birthday? "
"I will tell you later Miss Mogami, but how many tickets are there, exactly?" Ren was worried. It sounded like his father was up to something.
"Two. Why? Is something wrong Mr. Tsuruga?"
"You keep asking me that, Miss Mogami. Stop worrying! I'm fine. Is there a note or card, perhaps?"
"Let me see… Here it is. 'Dear Kyoko, how are you? Happy Birthday!!!! If you haven't seen them yet, there are two tickets to come to America, and visit. Juli is fighting at the bit to meet you. The other ticket is for anybody you want to bring. Feel free to invite anyone you wish! See you soon, your father, Kuu.' Hmmm. Who do you think I should bring, Mr. Tsuruga?"
"I don't have a clue. Who are you close to?"
"Well… There's Moko, Mr. Yashiro, I suppose, Maria, and… you. Perfect! Now who am I going to choose?"
"Miss Mogami, President Lory said that I am supposed to bring you to his office in twenty minutes. We have to be going, right now."
"Do you know why I have to go to his office?"
Ren hid a sly smile, and calmed himself down. "I haven't the slightest idea, Miss Mogami, but we need to be there to understand that."
"Oh! Right, sorry." Kyoko started thinking about what this might be about. Maybe this is about a new acting role. I wonder what kind of a role it is. Maybe it's another bully role. I hope not.
"Miss Mogami? We're here. Wake up." Ren was slightly amused. She was probably thinking about a new role.
"Huh? Oh, already? Sorry for not paying attention to where we were."
"It's fine Miss Mogami." Ren was having a hard time concealing his tension. He knew what this was all about and he couldn't wait to see what her reaction was going to be. He opened the door and pushed Kyoko into the room.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KYOKO!"
