Hello! Well you all must be wondering why I have started a new story instead of finishing The Band of Rebels. Well, I have a perfectly good reason. (Or a dumb one... It depends on if this works... (^-^; )) I have been having writers block for... Like ever. So! I came up with a solution to help us both! If I ever get writers block again, I have another story to turn to for a bit. That doesn't mean I will always update on a certain day every day, this just means you can expect me to not have so long of a gap with no updates. Before I begin this new story I would like to give my condolences to the friend of DeathWillNotPrevail, who wrote The Baby Project. She was an amazing writer who passed away. She will be missed dearly. Please enjoy the first chapter to my newest story. This is going to be just a sample but first chapter to my newest story.

She was just about done with her work that day, when she got the call.

Now 19 years old, completing her doctorate for psychology at 17, and starting her own business just last year, she was doing very well for her age. Not only was she successful with her job but also with her health as well. She exercised every night and was on a strict vegetarian diet. She had been proud of the results.

It had been a rather slow night and only had a couple of sessions with her regular clients. She had an amazing personality for the job, being a counselor for adults, teens and kids alike.

Her business was rather big and was a part of a branch of pediatricians and doctors. Overlooking the street below was her building. A beige two story building with a sterile clean look. The main floor of the building was the waiting room for people and she was on the last floor. When a person came up in the elevator they would have to get through Mai's assistant, Tyler, before going back to see her.

Her office was very simple. With a maroon leather couch, a coffee table with a black shaggy rug under it, a maroon leather chair across from the couch for herself, some plants and her cherry wood desk. The desk was accompanied with a black leather swivel chair, a computer, an office phone and a speaker that was connected to the main floor as well as her assistant's desk. The walls were a cherry blossom pink and the floors were bamboo. A bathroom was off to the left side. There was a shower, a toilet and a sink with a counter and other things she kept there. She had a change of clothes, a pair of pajamas, and toiletries for any time she decided to stay at the office.

She was writing up a status update for her last patient and the day was winding down. For a while, the only noise was the sound of her typing in the light of the setting sun that was projected from the large window behind her. She did not expect her personal phone to ring.

Picking the vibrating device up she noticed the unknown number on the screen and swiped the accept option.

"Hello, this is Taniyama Mai." She said in a calm professional voice.

"Mai."

Her head shot up. His voice sounded deeper and a tad bit more emotional than she last remembered.

"Oliver."
