September 1st 2013: Skies above Shico Island.
Eric sighed. The plane was small, and they had been flying for nearly 20 hours. Of course, you didn't need a huge plane for two people, three if you counted the pilot.
Still, he at least wished he knew where he was going. He knew his destination of course, he wasn't stupid. He just didn't know where it in was on a map. The Shico Corporation was very protective of that secret, which was why the flight was taking so long. The pilot took so many detour's that nobody could keep track of where they were heading. It was rumoured they never took the same route twice.
He was heading to the island for school. The island consisted of a large school that housed all ages from kindergarten to college, and a city which was called of course, Shico. The school only allowed entry to certain people, mainly Shico employees and they're family, and only some of them at that. Maybe a seventh.
The Company, although only two or three years old is the world's largest supplier of shoe's, laptops, tooth paste and a dozen other things.
He shifted in his seat. Why were we asked? He wondered. His dad was only the manager of one store, but they still invited his family to send him, their only son, to a very prestigious school. Shico Academy had fine credentials, and its university was on the same scale as Harvard.
The pilot looked back through the open cockpit door and said,
"Hey, we're about to land. Fasten your seatbelt, and wake up the other guy please."
Eric nodded, and turned his attention to the other passenger. He was a brown haired youth that looked to be 19 or 20. They had chatted a bit earlier, and although the other boy spoke Japanese, he had switched to English once it was evident Eric wasn't able to understand him. It was rough and Eric corrected his grammar several time's, but that was understandable, as the boy, who introduced himself as Yosuke Hanamura, cited high school English class for his ability.
He had also said that he was returning for his first year of university, as he had attended the previous year for his last year of high school, when the line of malls his dad worked for, Junes was bought out by Shico. Shortly there after he was invited to attend Shico Academy. Eric shook his head and thought, "Anyway, I better wake him." He said,
"Yosuke!" in what he thought was a loud enough voice to wake him, but he didn't stir. "Yosuke!" he was yelling know. Still no reaction. Eric got up and walked over to the other boy, bent down; lifted Yosuke's headphone's up and yelled into his ear.
Yosuke snapped awake, flailing his arms. He looked around to find the source of the noise, then spotted Eric and said
"Jeez, you scared the crap out of me. Sorry about that, the headphones are made to drown out noise. Anyway, what is it?"
"We're about to land." He replied.
"Alright. I can't wait to be back."
Twenty minutes later, Eric stepped off the lane and got his first glimpse of Shico Academy, which was right next to the runway.
"Holy …" He said out loud. This place was huge.
"It must go on for miles!" He thought. "How the hell did they make this in a year?"
Yosuke turned and looked at him, then smiled and said,
"Ha, I pretty much reacted the same way."
"How big is it?" Eric asked, still processing this amazing sight.
"I dunno, but it's got a different building for every grade, dorms for every grade and both genders, a sports complex, a theatre, a cultural center… you name it, they got it."
"That's amazing! But uh, what now?"
``You want to go to the main building, find the faculty office and register, and then they'll give you your room and class assignments. The faculty office is the first room on the left. ``
`` Alright, thanks. ``
`` No problem.`` Yosuke replied, then hurried toward his dorm.
(Authors note time! So how'd you like chapter 1? First thing's first, All copyrighted materiel such as Yosuke belongs to Atlus, not me. Also sorry if anything concerning the plane is wrong, I've never been in one. SO, I'm thinking of bringing one social link character from 3 or 4 back as a main character, so tell me who you think it should be! Also my computer isn't registering the quotation marks so please bear with me, it screwed up mid chapter so please bear with me and don`t forget to read and review. Thank you in advance.)
