Some characters based on real-life people have their real name shown. This is because I have THEIR PERMISSION to use their names.

I do not own anything from Tales of Symphonia nor will I ever. I may wish I did, but i have to give that credit to Namco(TM). They are awesome.

Concetta Grande was walking to school on a very cold winters morning; and all the while had a feeling that something... different was going to happen today.

Lately she had trusted these "feelings" that she had been getting because they were proving mostly correct. This includes the sudden change in her hair colour; dark chestnut-y brown with a slight hint of red that could only be seen in certain light that changed to a dark red in which a hint of brown could be seen. Also, that she had become more thin and "in-shape" than she had ever been in her life.

With this her personality began changing as well. The once very humorous and childish girl was gone, revealing only hints of what there used to be every now and then. She had become much more stoic in recent times, and only few of her old personality traits and emotions still showed.

It occurred to her that people had begun to fear these rapid changes, and thought they wouldn't admit it, it had been happening to three others in a much more slight way.

All three were beginning to notice some physical changes; like their ears appearing to be growing slightly pointed and even one of them having to die their hair regularly because the pink-purple hair that had begun to grow seemed too unnatural. They, too, had begun changing in personality as well. The first of the three, Danaisa (the one growing the odd hair colour), had developed a more sarcastic and joking. Pasiara began becoming more cruel and taking things the wrong way. The last of the three, Andrea (the only male), was becoming more caring and losing his usual trouble-making attitude.

Together, the four of them were a sight to see. All of them looked much more beautiful than most people; with Concetta proving as a slight exception. She seemed to still be "human-looking" as some would say even though she was the one to go through the most drastic changes.

At this point all four of them had arrived at the school and were all entering their homeroom classes (three of them in one class, Pasiara in another) to socialize with their friends: Andrea going to see Bob, Pasiara to see Banily, Danaisa to see Taca, and Concetta to see Sophia. When the bell rang they all stood for the playing of the national anthem and sat down in their seats right after. Every morning was the exact same thing: show up to talk, stand for the O' Canada, sit back down, let Mrs. Baws explain what would be done that class, then get started on the work that had to be done. Like in Concetta's feeling, there was something very different about this morning.

Mrs. Baws began to talk about that morning plans and the three that were in the classroom were surprised by the unusual introduction to the morning.

"Good morning class. Today we will be introducing a new student into our class. Hopefully he won't turn out to be another Sari. He will be sitting at the front corner with Bob. Now, without further ado, please welcome your new classmate;..."

So... I think that I did well. It's loosly based on my class... yeah... (I'm new with this... what am I supposed to say?)
