Chapter 1
"Wow! That was an awesome match Umi!" exclaimed a girl with a long red braid and bright red eyes.
"Why thank you Hikaru," replied a long blue haired girl. Umi turned to the young brunette beside her, her blue eyes searching the face of the other girl. "How did you like the match Fuu? It didn't strain your eyes did it?"
Fuu shook her head, hand raised up to her crystal clear green eyes, "No Miss Umi, my eyes are fine, the surgery went well and I have rested plenty and have had enough time to get use to them. And I too thought your match was wonderful!"
Hikaru looked at Fuu, "You know Fuu, you look very pretty without your glasses," she blushed, "I mean, not that you didn't before, it's just now we can see your eyes more."
Fuu smiled, "Why thank you Miss Hikaru."
Umi smiled, looking at Fuu as well, "You know, for some reason today you look so much like you did…" she paused, a sad look in her eyes, "Well, Hikaru's right, you look very pretty today."
Fuu blushed and straightened her clothes self consciously. She had wanted to look pretty for her friends today. She hadn't seen them in a few months thanks to the surgery for her eyes that her family had paid for and taken her out of the country for. She looked down at her outfit. A simple yet elegant beige short sleeved blouse with a jade green peasant skirt and a pair of beige sandals completed her ensemble. She smiled, reflecting how her adored elder sister had insisted she dress Fuu. "Why thank you both, and I must say that you two look very pretty as well."
Umi smiled, she knew from experience that Fuu could never take a compliment without returning it. She twirled around to show off her outfit, a light blue off-the-shoulder blouse with a black skirt reaching to her mid thighs and a pair of trendy ankle boots. "You think so? It's in style now and our instructor wanted us to dress up for the reception after the finals today anyways. But it's not as cute and colorful as Hikaru's outfit!"
Hikaru jumped, surprised at the attention from her friends. She blushed as she looked at her outfit. She didn't think it was as elegant or classically trendy as Fuu's and Umi's outfits, it was just a shirt she liked to wear with anything and a cute skirt she chose to add for Umi's match. The shirt was a v-neck spaghetti strap long tank top that was magenta with light pink stripping and the skirt was a faded blue jean mini skirt with the trim frayed like the current style. Her shoes weren't even as spectacular as her friends, tan Candie's hiking boots with magenta tube socks rolled down above them. She knew it looked cute, but it wasn't as classy as her friends' outfits. "Aw, c'mon guys, it's just something I threw together…"
Umi hugged her, "Well, it's cute on you, I don't think anyone else could pull it off."
Fuu hugged her as well, "Yes Miss Hikaru, you have a unique style and should show it more often."
Hikaru blushed, "Aw, thanks guys." She turned to look out the window. They were standing in the observatory deck of Tokyo Tower the place where they had decided to meet after Umi's fencing match. "I remember when we first met here, four years ago. I was so excited that my school had decided to take a trip to Tokyo Tower, I had never been before. And now, after so many visits, I still get excited to come here and see the wide world below and be with you guys… Even if I…" she stopped.
Fuu went to her, "I know how you feel, I feel the same. It's hard not to think about back then, even though it makes us sad, but on the other hand, we have many beautiful and happy memories from then. Even though those memories remind us of the people we left behind, we should never forget them, and we should always cherish those memories. That is why we come here so often."
Umi looked about ready to say something when someone tapped her shoulder. She turned to find a young woman of about her age with dark blonde hair layered just past her shoulders and striking violet eyes, "Umi, I wanted to congratulate you on your match today," she said in a soft voice.
"Oh, Prai! I didn't know if you were going to come today, it's so good to see you," Umi said ecstatically. "You look awesome, I rarely get to see you out of your uniform."
Prai smiled and turned around to let Umi and the others inspect her outfit. She had a violet crocheted shirt that tied around her neck which left most of her back exposed and an ankle length faded black jean skirt. "And check out my boots," she said after she faced them again. She lifted her skirt to show one leg that was covered to upper calf by a black velvet boot.
"Oh wow, Prai, you got new boots? What happened to your other pair? I thought you loved them," Umi asked. Fuu and Hikaru just stared at the stylish newcomer.
"Well the school finally banned leather, and since these aren't leather… Well…" Prai gave a one shouldered shrug, "They never said 'No boots'… Yet… I'll have to find a new fashion statement once they do that…"
Umi laughed along with the blonde, then she turned and saw her friends' shared lost look. "Oh! Excuse me, I'm sorry, I never introduced you guys." She grabbed Prai's hand. "Guys, this is Skylar Prai Shettfield, she, along with her brother, are transfer students here, she's going to that elite prep school downtown. I didn't expect to see her at the fencing finals today because her school is already having their finals."
"How do you do Miss Skylar, my name is Fuu Hououji, it's a pleasure to meet you," Fuu said as she held out her hand.
Prai shook her hand but winced, "Just Prai please, I abhor my first name. And it's good to finally meet you too, I've heard so much about Umi's friends."
Hikaru stuck out her hand, "My name is Hikaru Shidou. Are you related to Cole Shettfield?"
Prai shook her hand, "You mean Cas, yeah, he's my twin brother."
Hikaru gave her a weird look, "'Cas'?"
Prai smirked, "He, like me, hates his first name. His full name is Cassidy Cole Shettfield. He went by his first name when he was little, but as he got older and got teased, he started going by his middle name. No matter how many times he told people it was a guys name too, like Butch Cassidy, they showed no mercy, even teachers at first, when all they saw on the role sheet back home on the first day, 'Cassidy C. Shettfield' they expected a girl and didn't believe him at first when he said it was him." She got a distant look in her eyes, "Many a first days ended in the principal's office for him… He's not the only one, happened to me too."
Someone yelled from behind Prai, she turned to see who it was. At that moment a bright light erupted from outside Tokyo Tower, flashing onto the girls. Umi, Fuu and Hikaru turned, a feeling of deja vu falling over them. As they stared into the light a sense of powerful energies rushed through their bodies, colored lights flew from the light outside, green, blue and red. The colored lights surrounded the three girls enveloping them and whisking them towards the great light outside as another colored ball of light flew into the Tower…
AN: OOOH… Whaddya think? Got potential? I'm gonna say this once. HELL NO AM I GONNA HAVE THEM PRANCING AROUND IN THEIR SCHOOL UNIFORMS ONCE AGAIN! I will NOT go by the anime stereotype of heroes have to be in their school uniforms to do ANYTHING! UGH! Whoossa… I'm better now. Just so everyone knows, Prai and Cole have me and my brother's names… first names that is, she has his and he has mine. If I have twin girls I want to name them Aryssa Elaine and Skylar Prai. Not because they're after my characters but because I like the names and the ring to it. If I only have one girl, it'd be Aryssa Prai. Enough with the personal stuff. How do you like the first chappie? Not bad for my first foray into the world of MKR, so far. I've done mecha before, had a G-Wing ff for a bit but took it down because I didn't like it.
