"Ma'am..." A soldier knocked on the door in a hallway full of rooms. The door opened and a tall, slender woman stepped out. She was in a bath robe and slippers. She had light green eyes and dark brown shoulder length hair.

"Yes?"

"It's your turn to take charge. Kitano-san is dead." The woman's eyes widened. Then they narrowed.

"Okay. I'll be there tomorrow." She closed the door, then took a deep breath. Then her lips twisted into a smile.

Shiowa Highschool Class H-2's Bus

A tall slender woman was sitting at the front of the bus, talking to the bus driver. Her light brown hair was pulled up into a ponytail, and her light green eyes twinkled playfully. The students were behind her, sitting three per seat and was very excited for the sudden field trip.

"I wonder where we're going." Mayumi Kasuka (Girls # 4), a girl with plaited hair said excitedly to her friend, Sanja Damia (Girls # 7), who had pigtails.

"I heard that we're going to Tokyo Fun Land!" Warari Anaku (Boys # 4) jumped into their conversation.

"Ew, sick! Get away from me!" Damia pushed him away with her index finger.

Shiowa Highschool Class H-2's Bus

The bus passed through a tunnel. By the time they were out, all the students were asleep in their chairs. The woman with the ponytail was staring at them silently, smiling. A gas mask was strapped to her face.

Girls # 15 was the first to stir. Sumare Yukari lifted her head and rubbed her eyes. "Wh-where am I?" She looked around. Everyone around her was sprawled across their desks. Each one had a metal collar attached around their neck. She checked her neck too. Right underneath her braided ponytail was something cold and hard. That's when everyone else started to wake up. There was a loud banging noise and the tall, slender woman walked in. She was wearing a business office uniform. She walked to the front of the room, where a desk and a chalkboard awaited. Next to the chalkboard was a TV. The woman set down a clipboard on the desk and started writing on the chalkboard.

By the time she was done, everyone was wide awake.

"Good morning, class." The woman scanned the class. "I see that everyone's here."

"Miss Kizumi, what is this?" Girls # 21, Kakudo Haruhi stood up, raising her hand.

"Oh, Haruhi-chan, I'll explain that in a second." Kizumi walked to the front of the desk and sat on it. "You see, I hope that you can tell where we are right now." The students looked around the room, but they all shook their heads. "Oh? I'm surprised, you do not know of this event that takes place fifty times a year?" A few eyebrows were raised.

"Still no? What if I told you that you're on TV right now, and are being viewed by millions of people across Japan? What if I told you that you are...in "The Program"?"Silence spread like a wave of deadly gas throughout the classroom. A girl screamed.
