"Can someone help me with this suitcase?" Kokoa asked loudly. She was finally heading off to college, and was pretty excited. Her suitcase seemed to differ though.
"I'll help!" she heard from the bottom of the stairs. That was the voice of her little sister, Reina. Smaller hands grabbed the handle beside her's and helped drag the burden down the stairs.
Kokoa smiled at her sister with gratitude, "Thanks."
"You're welcome!" Reina said, her golden eyes sparkling.
Their mother poked her head in from the living room. "Kokoa, Nickolai is here." Maka said.
Kokoa managed to pull the suitcase off the ground and lug it into the living room. Sure enough, her brown-haired best friend was there.
"I can carry that if you want." Nickolai offered. Kokoa made a no-no motion with her hand, "I've got it. I'm stronger than you think."
A laugh came from Soul, who had been leaning on the doorway to the kitchen. "Kokoa, we all know that when it comes to strength, Reina was the one who got it."
"And what do I have?" Kokoa asked, looking at her dad.
"Cuteness." Soul said. He ignored Reina's look.
Maka clapped her hands together, "Well, let's allow Kokoa and Nickolai to get going."
Kokoa nodded, and tried picking the suitcase back up. Which she failed. So Nickolai did end up carrying it to his car.
"Thanks, Nick." Kokoa said. "Don't mention it, just hop in." Nickolai said.
They waved good-byes as they drove off. Next stop: Death City University.

A/N: Totally nailed the prologue. Wonder how Kokoa's life as a freshman will be. By the way, Nickolai is a sophomore. Aaron will be there too! He's a junior though.
Later, friends!
