Note: This an AU story. The story concept popped into my head during the night, and kept evolving into this story line. My friend Lissette chose those characters from 2 possible choices. She also created the title for this story. So here it is, hope you enjoy it. Please read and review; and issue any challenges you might have.
Serena was a 17 year old girl from America. She ran away to Japan at the age of 16, because of some family issues. Her family tried to control her decisions, like always, and tried to put her into a college of their choice. Rather than her own choice, for when she graduated high school. Having had enough of it, she pulled out all of her savings and bought a ticket to Japan.
She now goes to a local high school in Tokyo. She called home a few times, to speak with her little brother, Sammy. But her parents would take the phone from him and tried to find out where she was, or try to convince her to come back home. When they did, she would hang up the phone immediately.
In school, she made a couple of friends, as well as enemies. Her new friends were Ami and Hotaru. Her enemies included Jedite and Zoicite. Since moving to Japan, Serena took up martial arts to defend herself in case something happened. On the second day of school, Jedite and his group decided to pick on her and started to push her around.
Having had enough, she defended herself and knocked all 4 guys down. They ran away to regroup to think of a plan to get back at her later. Unfortunately for them, every time they tried something, she would always find a way to knock them back down.
Ami and Hotaru met Serena in their second period class. The three became quick friends after the first day. They soon found out that Serena could be a real ditz at certain times. But when it really mattered, she was really serious.
In the present time, Serena has more friends than just Ami and Hotaru now. And she still has only 4 enemies. Serena headed home from the arcade after school was over. Once home, Serena did her homework and then went to her room to play her Playstation 2.
One hour into playing Final Fantasy X-2, there was a knock at her door. Not expecting anyone, she paused the game and went to the door. Without bothering to look out the peephole or ask whose at the door, she opened it. When she opened the door, it was the last person she expected to see in front of her door.
