13-year-old Lita was curled up in a cozy, ocean blue overstuffed armchair in the study/library room just off the main entry hall of her family's fair-sized mansion. Her father, Li Showron, had come by it out of inheritance from his great-grandfather Li Showron. She was reading a thick, leather-bound book given to her by her mother, Sakura Avalon Showron, and she was on the last page. Suddenly the music of the door chimes cut through her stupor and she felt angry. "Porch view, one way." She said her order to a tiny micro-projector embedded in the ceiling. A flat-screen hologram appeared in front of her face, showing the face of her cousin, Lucas. She smiled slightly, activating the door controls. Out the room and just 10 meters to the door, the heavy oak door swung open on a spring-loaded lever. Her tall, slim but muscular cousin stood on the threshold, dressed in an ocean blue muscle shirt beneath a basketball jersey. In his hands he held a box wrapped in gift paper. "Happy Birthday." He said. Lita smiled, taking her cousin by the arm and leading him inside. Tossing his gift lightly onto a chair she lead him to her room. Pressing her palm against the scanner, the door popped open. Walking around the end of her four-post bed she sat in her favorite swivel chair, propping her feet up on her desk. "I drew this." Lucas said, reaching inside his pocket and withdrawing a folded piece of paper and tossed it to Lisa. Unfolding it, she saw it was an amazingly accurate drawing of an angel with sword in hand, hovering over the peak of a mountain. "Wow, amazing!" Lita gushed. Lucas smiled, blushing slightly. A few hours later Sakura, Lucas, Li, and Lita sat around the large kitchen table. Since Chris's birthday was yesterday, they decided to celebrate their birthdays together. They were about to cut the cake when the doorbell rang. Somewhat irritated, Chris volunteered to get it. Opening the door he smiled widely, for on the threshold stood Tori and Madison. "Uncle Tori! Aunt Madison!" he shouted gleefully, and was about to hug them when he remembered he was a man now and held out his hand. Tori laughed, ruffling Lucas's hair as he stepped inside. Madison stooped down and hugged him anyway, smiling. The hug made Lucas feel better. He heard a sound like a hammer hitting a rug, and the thud of something falling onto the polished tile floor. Must have been Tori Lucas thought, rolling his eyes and he started to shut the door when he froze. He hadn't noticed the tall and slender man on the porch. Calmly the stranger stepped up to the door. Lucas snorted, thinking he was some sort of salesman. "We don't want anything." He said forcefully and slammed the door. It moved two inches. "My name is Julian." The stranger said. "Oh, you're Julian?" Lucas queried. He had heard of Julian from Aunt Sakura. "My apologies Julian-san, please, come in." Lucas apologized, bowing slightly. Julian walked past him, "Don't sweat it kid." He said.
