A/n: I'm a bad little girl. I started a new story. I'm sorry! I couldn't help it! I just get the weirdest ideas and I fall in love with them! This particular idea was partially inspired by Firefly Laneby Kristen Hannah and a tad bit of Wicked by Gregory McGuire and the Broadway musical based on it. Both books should go on your must read list and check out the Wicked original Broadway cast recording (found on YouTube or iTunes.)
Prolouge: Last Fall
It all began the summer of 1994, when two girls were at the age of three, meaning that they were full of life and eager to take on the world as it came at them.
One more than the other, however.
That was Kory Anders. Perky, cheerful and a sweet disposition. She had thick, fiery red hair that ended two inches below her tan shoulder. She had vivid green eyes that glowed as bright as the sun. Her tan skin fair and smooth. She lived with her mother, father, her older sister Komi and her younger brother Ryan in a large, suburban home that was surrounded by grand oak trees and a rose bush.
The other being Rachelle Roth. She was Kory's exact opposite right down to the smallest detail. Her hair, was a deep, deep ebony-like brown and cut short. Her eyes were a blue-gray and about as overcast as her personality. She was dark, distant and shut out anyone that tried to approach her. She was only open with her mother, Arella, who was always tense, but would always show a small, shining smile for her daughter. Her father, Terry was always tense and rarely ever smiled, which unfortunately rubbed off on Rachelle. They lived in the same neighborhood as the Anders family, but in a modest house that was surrounded only by broken beer bottles, wilting plants, decaying trees and the horrible stench of alcohol, vomit and dead flies.
They both resided in Jump City, a considerable city on the caost of California, just down the road from each other and neither new they exsisted.
The fact that these two girls would grow to be best friends remained a mystery to both girls and everyone in their world, but it happened and no one regretted that fact.
But now I feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up
There to where you're calling me
No more asking why no more foolish lies
Cause I have finished falling
