Konnichiwa! Yet another genderbend fic with England. This time, the pairing hasn't been decided yet! So you get to choose! So far I have asked some fellow writers and here is how it's going so far:

America: 4
Russia: 3
China: 0
France: 0

Those are the options. Be sure to pick one! So without further ado...

Tanoshimu!

Whenever I see your face... It sends goose bumps all over my body. The way you stand so casually, the way you smile, that expression on your face...

But it's not just your looks. Your personality is what really made me fall for you. So kind, so outgoing, so cool... I fell in love with you on that fateful day, but I haven't seen you since.

Please... Where are you now?

Brushing through her long blonde hair, she hummed to herself as she thought about the day ahead. She had carefully picked out her outfit and applied as little make-up as possible. She didn't really like the stuff much: she was more of a natural beauty sort of girl most of the time.

But today she was going out with her friends and since she didn't want to seem ungrateful, she was wearing the makeup that one of them had got for them one Christmas. She was her best friend after all. She had only two best friends though she had a lot of normal friends.

Her first best friend was of Chinese origin and she had transferred into her school a few years ago. The second was-

"Ciao Britt!"

Speak of the devil. She was here. The blonde quickly gathered her things and gave herself a final glance in the mirror as she headed downstairs.

Greetings and salutations! I'm Britt, a cheerful young girl attending Gakuen Academy! My hair is blonde and my eyes are a vibrant green. I enjoy reading and I'm into things like ancient spells, rituals and myths. I suppose you think I'm a bit of a weird girl but that's the way I am and that won't be changing.

Britt smiled as she reached the bottom of her stairs. There stood a light brown-haired girl wearing a short red dress, black gloves and tie and a pair of pretty red high heels. Her hair was up in a cute high ponytail but what really made her that much more noticeable was a small strand of hair that curled and stood out on end.

That's my friend Felicia! I call her Feli for short sometimes. She's been my best friend since we both started school. As a child she was really cute, innocent and absent-minded. Now she's... Still the same. She may not be bright but she has got a big heart and she's extremely pretty! Honestly, I have no idea why she's still single. Well actually I do. She's clueless. A guy tries asking her out and she'll think they're just going out as friends. It's endearing really.

"Where are we meeting-? " Britt began.

"She'll be there. Come on let's go!" Felicia cheered.

Really she's so keen. Today we're going to a Japanese temple of some sort. Apparently Felicia has made friends with the new kid in school. He's from Japan by the way. So Feli, being the type to celebrate cultures, decided that we should welcome him to the school by celebrating his culture. It's New Year as well so we'll be going to visit a temple!

The two best friends set off for the temple. On the way, Felicia began talking about a new restaurant that had opened up in town and how great the food was. Britt's mind began to wander however to a different topic that had constantly been on her mind throughout the holidays.

She didn't have much time to think though for they soon arrived at the temple. There waiting for them was a serious looking black-haired boy and a slightly happier brown haired girl.

The black haired boy is Felicia's new friend. I think his name is Kiku? The girl is my other best friend: Yué. I met her in my first year at Gakuen Academy. She didn't seem like the sociable type so I decided to talk to her and eventually she warmed up! I really like her hair. It's a darkish brown and she usually ties it up into buns.

"Ciao guys!" Felicia cheered.

"Feli. You were supposed to wear traditional kimono. It rook sirry when you show up in those crothes." Kiku explained.

"Ve~! No-one will notice us! Come on let's have some fun!" Felicia smiled.

Yué had at least tried to be traditional. She was wearing a short red Chinese dress that was decorated with yellow flowery markings. Her dress was slightly longer than Feli's and was done up very tightly around the neck.

Soon the time came to buy the New Year fortunes. Feli was extremely excited to see her New Year fortune but when the time came for the fortunes...

"AHH!" Feli screamed.

She got 'Great Misfortune'...

"What did you get Feli?" Yué asked. "Oh Great Misfortune? That's too bad-aru."

"Your crueress nature will be your downfall?" Kiku asked, reading her fortune aloud.

"They got it bang on alright..." Britt muttered.

"I got 'Small luck'." Yué read aloud. "'The time to reveal that big secret of yours is close at hand.'"

"Huh? You keep secrets from us Yué? Tell! Tell!" Feli cheered.

"The fortune is wrong. I keep no secrets." Yué said bluntly, looking away.

"My country's fortunes are usuarry right." Kiku frowned.

"So what did you get?" Yué asked.

"Small luck. Your Academic year will prosper but your social rife will make rittle progress." Kiku explained.

"Don't worry Kiku! You have us!" Feli beamed.

Yué nodded and then turned to Britt. "What did you get Britt?"

Britt blushed. "Oh... Nothing."

"She's hiding her fortune." Kiku explained.

"Well done Captain obvious." Yué muttered.

"Give it! Give it!" Feli commanded.

Felicia eventually managed to snatch the fortune from Britt just before she could stuff it into her pockets. Britt tried to get it back but Felicia ran a short distance back so that she would have time to read it. Kiku and Yué ran to her side.

All three of them gasped. Felicia was in so much shock that she practically fainted. Yué looked up at Britt with wide eyes and Kiku... Well he only looked slightly impressed.

"Britt. You got Great Luck!" Yué gasped.

Britt looked away sheepishly, a blush covering the whole of her face as Kiku read out the rest of her fortune. Feli looked a little upset because of Britt's fortune compared to her own.

"Your rove rife will take a serious turn. Expect to have one or two exciting deveropments." Kiku read.

"Yeah but like Yué said: it's probably wrong. I don't wanna get my hopes up. No offence Kiku." Britt mumbled.

"Ve... I hope you're right..." Felicia whimpered.

That night...

Great Luck huh? Definitely not. A turn in my love life? That would never happen. I've never had any luck in love... Why would it suddenly change now?

Britt looked across the room to her window. She got up and walked towards it, gazing up at the stars. The night was clear. Unfortunately though, she couldn't see many stars from where she lived. Stupid light pollution.

I wonder... Does this mean that I'll meet him again? Or will I be with someone else. Maybe... No it can't be. After all, he's the most popular guy in school. Maybe someone new will appear, or maybe an unexpected person will pop up?

But now was not the time for thinking about that. Soon she'd be going back to Gakuen Academy to start the New Year. The winter break had been long but soon she would be going back to the Academy. Hopefully the new year would prove to be very interesting...

Little short but that's only the prologue! So remember to review, PM me if you have a question and vote for who you think Britt should go with! I'd prefer if you voted on my profile where the poll is.

Sayonara minna-san!
