Well, hello all! I am excited to announce that this is my first attempt at a completed fanfic! I have started many a fizzle, but this one I am confident to see through to the end. It's my take onhow our destinies are not truly set for us, and sometimes, it takes a certain someone to guide you through life. Anyway, enough of my rambling, ON WITH THE SHOW!

I want to thank my editor, Alicia Blade. She has helped me tremedously throughout this process, and I would like to redirect some of your attention to her works.

Also, anyone who makes reviews will be acknowledged and your questions will be answered. For now, I hope that you all enjoy the show! Domo and Osu!

Disclamer: I am in no way responsible for the ownership of said Moon, or any of her friends. I am a starving college student, so even if you wanted to sue me, you wouldn't get jack! This story and the main character, however, are mine, and I will defend him with my very own life if need arise.

Italics: Thoughts


Prologue: "Have you ever had a wish?"

A lone figure stood by a fountain in the center of his college campus. He was dressed in his usual attire, jeans, a black tee-shirt and his favorite black leather jacket that he got as a present from his grandfather. He was a bright, brown haired, deep brown eyed, 5'11", 19 year old American. It was early evening on a Friday night. The sun was about to set over the west end of the campus, and the figure was staring into the vast pool of crystal water. He usually did this, a routine that most of the other students became accustomed to. All but a few. He had friends, yes, but he felt that something was missing. Why was he so alone? And why did he occasionally feel warm and aggressive when confronting wrong? He often came to the fountain to remember his childhood. He would loose himself in those wonderful memories. They were carefree, fun, and loving, something that he felt when around his parents, or his girlfriend. Well, usually. He felt like he was failing in both of those areas. Why couldn't he find what he was supposed to do? So, every Friday, he would come to the fountain and contemplate life. Today was different, however. Today, he had a rare Japanese yen that his father had given him during one of his trips to Tokyo. He remembered what his father had told him, "Son, why are you so serious? Your purpose is written for you, you just have to have faith that one day, and you'll find it." Hah! He wasn't doing any good staring at this fountain, feeling sorry for himself. For the first time in seven years, he made a wish. "I wish that I might discover the faith that I need to complete my purpose."

With that very 'vague' wish, he let the yen fall from his grasp into the crystal water of the fountain. When the yen stopped on the bottom of the fountain, the area around the young man instantly transformed into the central park of downtown Tokyo.

Chapter 1: "A Meeting of Fate"

The person was blinded by a light, and then a new landscape started to become clear. When the young man could finally see well enough to walk, he decided to explore. The people around him all had looks of curiosity, but none of them approached. He decided to try and find out what he was doing in Tokyo.

"Excuse me miss, but what…" he stopped in mid sentence with the woman he confronted. I just spoke almost perfect Japanese! What the crap is going on?

"Yes?" the woman asked, clearly impressed with the American's grasp of the native tongue.

"I'm sorry, but could you tell me where I am? I think I am lost."

"Certainly. You are in the central park of Tokyo."

"What!"

"That's right. It is 8:30 in the morning."

He quickly regained his composure. "Thank you. Have a nice day." Geez, can't you come up with something better than that?

"And you, young man." They parted ways, and left the guy to his confusion.

"Well, I might as well see the sights while I'm here." He started to walk to the exit of the park. While he was walking, he passed several signs that he read without hesitation. This startled him at first, and then he realized that he must have somehow been blessed with the gift of Japanese language. When he finally passed through the gates of the park, the size of his problem seemed to dawn on him. "How the heck am I going to function here? I don't even know what I am doing here." Suddenly, he remembered his father's last words before he left for college. "Have faith." He resolved to give this to faith, and he continued to walk, staring at the large mass of buildings, until he collided with someone.

"OUCH!" the female voice said as they both collapsed in a heap.

"I am so sorry, miss. Let me help you…" The young man then heard giggling from the direction the girl came from. Oh great, what an embarrassment! Then he got a good look at the girl he ran into. She looked so familiar… then it hit him!

"Serena!"

"Hey, how did you know who I was?" the girl responded. She had blonde hair put up into two ponytails and buns that resembled meatballs. She had blue eyes and a shocked look on her face.

"Oh, uh a good guess maybe? You looked like a Serena, so I just took my chances. I'm really sorry, are you ok?" Wow, you almost blew it. Don't freak out, don't freak out, don't freak out… wait, no, she is here too. Aww crap. Too late.

He was helping to lift Serena up from the ground when he spotted her. She was the girl that got him through the misery of middle school. She was what he had envisioned his girlfriend to be. She had long blonde hair with a red ribbon in it and deep blue eyes, the kind that you can get lost in. He came close, but it took all of his self control to remain calm and ask the girl her name.

"And who might you be, my dear?" The girl blushed at his request. He pulled that off even better than he expected.

"Mina Aino. And you?" she said, extending her hand in the polite gesture of greeting.

"Jonathan Fowler." he said, taking the offered hand.

"Well, Mr. Fowler, you mind explaining why you ran right into me?" asked Serena.

"I am sorry about that. It is my first time here and I was not watching where I was going."

"That sure explains… hey, it's your first time in Tokyo?"

"Well yes, why do you ask?"

"It's just that your Japanese is almost perfect. Where are you from?" Serena asked.

"I'm from America. I really have no memory of coming here, though."

"Hmm…. That is odd. Well, I am sorry about this. Do you have a place to stay while you are here?" Mina suddenly asked.

"I really don't think so." When she heard that, she blossomed. It seemed that her entire energies had suddenly exploded into a red that covered her from head to toe.

"Is that so? Then you need a place to stay. I have an idea! My apartment isn't far from here. My parents are never really there and we have a spare bedroom. You could stay with us!" She seemed to be getting really into this.

"Well, I really don't want to impose…" he didn't even get to finish when Mina grabbed him by the arm and started to drag him away.

"Don't be silly, there is plenty of room! Oh and I hope you like cats." Jonathan really didn't have a choice. Even if he did, there was no way he was wasting this opportunity.

My childhood crush has a crush on ME! How cool is this?

Meanwhile, Serena was left to nurse the bump on her head. All of the sudden, her cat Luna appeared from the bushes. Serena asked her, "Why did you bolt when he ran into me?"

"He gave off very weird vibes. To tell you the truth, I was scared of him."

"You were WHAT? You never get scared at things like this."

"Yes I know, but this was something bigger than I have ever felt before. I think we need to talk to the others."

"You're right. I'll go get them." Serena and Luna left to meet with the other three girls.

I know that this is my first, and I would love to here from you about anything. Especially concerning the sequel. I have yet to form a solid outline for the story, so everything is up in the air at this point. Thanks and R&R Kudasai?
