A/N:

Hey all! It's Rinoa-san! No I have not dropped off the face of the Earth….I've just had lots of stuff going on. For example, my second year of college starts this fall. (Yikes!). Anyway, I haven't quite decided if I will get back to my Ayashi no Ceres story (Another Descendant's story) or not yet. I am no longer talking to the person I was originally writing it for…so yes, that is up in the air. I do, however, plan on continuing Crossing Worlds. I just have to get back to it and maybe do some revising. ^_^

This is one of many new stories I have had come to me. I would like some more feedback to see if I'll continue it. I have lots planned and have an excerpt/preview up on my quizilla page. I decided to start by posting this one since it is the only one that was voted on by one person on my poll (also found on my quizilla account). Please enjoy and tell me what you think. My quizilla account can be found on my profile. Enjoy!

Chapter One: Introductions first, please.

Morning. The sun rising over the horizon, birds singing, coffee brewing, breakfast cooking, everything waking up to start a new day. It was a beautiful day that could coax just about anyone out of their comfortable bed and peaceful sleep. Rena Sky was not one such person.

She rolled over, burying herself deeper under the covers. She didn't want to get up, not yet. Sleep was precious and she didn't want to give it up. Her dream was too interesting. Much like a good book you never wanted to put down. She never wanted to stop dreaming.

"Rena-chan, it's time to get up," a girl whispered.

Rena grunted in response. The person shook her shoulder.

"Rena, come on. We have to get up,"

"No, I don't wanna," Rena whined.

"Oh my! Is that the time? We're late for school on our first day!"

Rena bolted up right in the bed, frantically searching for her clock. The other girl giggled, earning a glare.

"Sorry, Ren, but I had to get you up,"

"Arianna Elizabeth Cecelia Sky, I could murder you,"

"Hey you got my full name right," Arianna smiled.

Arianna was about 5'2" with blonde, mid-back length hair, and crystal blue eyes. Though it was obvious she just woke up, her smile was just as bright.

"Ari, you know I don't like mornings," Rena sighed flopping back on the pillows.

Ari could only giggle and look at her twin. Rena had the same long blonde hair, braided for the night, and crystal blue eyes. They were identical, hardly a soul could tell the two girls apart.

"Come on, Ren. Let's get up or we really will be late,"

"Fine," grumbled Ren.

She heaved a sigh and rolled out of bed before stretching. Together they slipped on their robes and headed down the stairs for breakfast. Unlike many mansions, they didn't have hundreds of maids and butlers everywhere to come at their beck and call. There were a few around, but they did little more than call good morning. Yes, they were rich, but they didn't like to flaunt it. Breakfast was nothing special: pancakes, eggs, toast, and choice of fruit with juice, milk, coffee, tea, or hot chocolate to drink.

"Morning girls," their father said as they entered the dining room.

"Good morning," they replied in unison.

They sat down and were served breakfast. They thanked the butlers politely before eating. Afterward, they picked up their dishes and carried them to the kitchen. Finally, they returned to their room. Ari took the bathroom first leaving Rena alone in the room. She turned on her laptop and let the music play. She unbraided her hair and gently brushed out the tangles. She pulled it back into a temporary low ponytail, knowing Ari would play with it later. She pulled out two of the new uniforms for their new school. Ari came out of the bathroom and Rena went in. She brushed her teeth and washed her face. She gave herself a small smile before leaving.

"These are the new uniforms?" Ari asked giving a twirl in the yellow dress.

"Yup. These are it," Ren replied.

"Well hurry up and put yours on! I wanna see how cute you look,"

Rena rolled her eyes, but slipped into her uniform regardless much to her twin's delight. Ari squealed and hugged her twin.

"Oh Ren you look so cute!"

"You say that for everything,"

"Cause it's true,"

They laughed. Ari sat her twin down in front of the computer and pulled out the ponytail. Rena sighed and pulled up her email. She sat very straight and very still. The only thing moving were her eyes and her hands. She had grown so used to Ari and others playing with her hair, it was second nature for her to sit still. Arianna hummed along with the current song playing while she brushed out her twin's hair. She loved how soft it was, slipping through her fingers like silk, thick with a slight wave from braiding it the night before. She gently used their flat iron to straighten her sister's hair. From there, she pulled back two sections from the front to make her half ponytail. She braided the pieces together and tied them with a small sunflower hair-tie. She smiled patting away any stray hairs and finished it off with just a little bit of hair spray to hold it all in place for the day.

"Arigato, Ari-chan," Rena smiled.

"Doitashimashite," Arianna replied.

They switched places and Rena fixed her twin's hair in the same fashion. They looked at each other in the mirror and smiled. They were ready…at least in appearance. Rena took a deep breath before she shut down her computer and picked up her school bag.

"Come on Rena. It's time for our first day!" Ari said, jumping up and down with excitement.

Rena could help but laugh at her sister. She always had so much energy at times it was hard to keep up with her. On the other hand, she smiled more to herself, she was just as excited. It was their first time attending a private school in Japan. It was practically a dream come true.

The Sky family had their hand dipped in several different industries including things like schools, fashion, cosmetics, banking, insurance, real estate, various arts, and publishing. These increased when they combined with the Walker family industries a few years ago. Due to their vast industries, Rena and Arianna had spent a good number of years traveling. When they did attend a school, it was in places like Italy, Germany, and the United States of America. Most of the time, they were home-schooled simply out of connivance throughout elementary and most middle school. Now, after a year and half of arguing and debating, they finally convinced their father to let them attend a private school in Japan. They did their research and it seemed to be one of the best out there. Mr. Sky, after doing a lot of his own research, consented to let his daughters attend. He moved them to Japan for their last year of middle school, set up the house, and got everyone comfortable for the girls to begin their high school careers.

The girls half skipped and half ran down the stairs toward the door. The limo was ready and waiting to take them off to their new school.

"Whoa! Slow down you two. What's the rush?" Mr. Sky asked a hint of laughter in his voice.

David Sky was 50 years old, but hardly looked a day older than 30. He stood at 6'2" with dark brown hair and crystal blue eyes. His smile reached his eyes making them sparkle like the night sky. It was easy to see the girls resembled their father a great deal. He wore a black suite with a dark red shirt and black tie. The paper was tucked under his arm and his briefcase sat next to the door, waiting for the day's various meetings it was sure to attend to ensure everything was running smoothly and his family was well taken care of.

"We have to get to school, Papa," Ari said with a large smile.

"We don't wanna be late for our first day," agreed Rena.

Mr. Sky laughed, filling the foyer with the deep joyous sound.

"I don't think I've ever seen both of you so excited for school. I guess I should have let you come here sooner," he teased.

They all laughed.

"Alright, now you two behave and have a good day. Make new friends, do your best, and all that other good stuff," he said hugging his girls.

"Oh, Papa, we always behave," Rena giggled hugging him back.

"Oh, of course you do," he replied slightly sarcastically.

They all laughed again. He hugged the girls individually and gave them each a kiss on the forehead.

"I love you," he said as he waved them goodbye.

"Love you too, Papa," they called back in unison, waving before climbing into the limo.

David waved and watched until the limo was long out of sight. He sighed and smiled softly to himself.

"They're really growing up, aren't they Rose?" He whispered to himself. "She's more like you every day. Watch over them, love. I have a feeling they're going to need it."

The limo ride to the school wasn't very long. Ari chatted excitedly about what it would be like. She had done extra research even after their father agreed to let them attend, and was now more excited than ever to get to school. She was still talking when the limo stopped in front of the large school.

"This it!" She squealed jumping up and down in her seat.

She ran out the door as soon as it was open and twirled in the shadow of her new school. Yes, it was exactly like a dream come true. She looked back at her twin and her smile settled back to a small, comforting one.

Rena was much slower about getting out than her sister. She was excited, she couldn't deny that. Still, her nerves got the better of her. She researched the school, still she had no idea what to expect. That was always the bad part about moving. She was never in the same place twice and she had always struggled to make friends. She looked up as Ari took her hand.

"It's going to be okay,"

Ren smiled slightly at her twin.

"I know. I'm just…"

"Hey, it's okay. I'm here. You're not alone. Together, we can take on the world," Arianna encouraged, giving her sister's hand a squeeze. "Now come on. Let me see that sexy smile of yours,"

Ren laughed and gave her twin the best smile she could muster earning her a smile in return.

"That's more like it," Ari said with approval. "Now let's go! Ouran High School, look out!"

"The Sky twins have arrived!" Rena finished.
