Prologue

Flashback...
"So you're telling me that from now on we'll be living in the States?"
I murmured as I processed what Mom just said. Mom's notorious for bringing up false hopes, at least in my book, and I'm still rather skeptical about it. One of my childhood dreams has been to go to a different country and live there. To study their language, to understand to culture, to basically immerse myself in them as I become a part of something new. I can tell right now that I'll be having dreams about this subject for nights to come, regardless of whether Mom's words come true or not.
Speaking of dreams, I had an odd bit of a dream last night. Something about a love fairy named Kyu or some shit like that. I believe in the supernatural, sure, but damn, am I really getting THAT desperate? There's also that bit about some app called HunieBee that supposedly allowed to stalk girls and get inside info on them.
Sometimes, I just scare myself. Yuno Gasai will be proud.
"Yes. It's been your dream to travel, right? Well there you go. Besides, I want you to spend some time with your brother, to get to know him better. You know, he's the one that made this entire thing possible."
Ah yes, my half-brother, the guy who has it all. Tall, good looks, fit body, good job, great girlfriend, anything that fits under the stereotype of "success". Guy's the most fulfilled person I know, and he's not snobby about it. He's a great person actually, and cares about everyone he knows. Guess that's why he's so popular. He's like a girl's wet dream.
That, and he put in a good word at their local university, some place named UOG, for me to study my post-grads there. While I did graduate at the top science/medical university in the country, I barely did so. Honestly, I still don't know why everyone's making such a big deal out of it. Anyways, it's also probably because my mom egged him on it. She's been talking a lot about medical careers ever since I entered college, and with my brother being a surgeon in the making, I guess she wanted me to join in on the family line.
Which is probably the reason why this whole thing is happening in the first place.
"So we'll be moving in with him? I thought he already lived with his aunts over there?"
"No, but we'll be moving to the lot beside your Auntie Gene's. Both your aunt and your brother works at the hospital nearby, so you'll be seeing each other a lot. He owns an apartment in the town, so you can visit him anytime you want."
I haven't asked much questions after that and just rolled with it. Although "roll" is probably an understatement, considering that I wasn't shutting my yap about it the whole time I waited before we actually went to America. Yep, finals happened, thesis happened, exams happened, graduation happened, and I'm still yapping about the same thing. It's a testament to my friends' patience that they're still bearing with me over it.
And they're still bearing with it right now as we, my family and I, cruise at approximately forty thousand feet above sea level.
Oh, and I forgot, I just added one more friend to my repertoire of victims...ahem, I mean my friends, of course. My newest link to the great Americas.
FriedChicken: It's been hours, dammit. I'm being impatient as hell!
RX3: Well, you are going to the other side of the world. *shrugs
PictureWho: Don't forget my pasalubong ty ^_^
FriedChicken: I ain't even there yet, bruh
Blue88 has joined the chat. Say hi!
I then realized that my new friend, Nikki, entered the chat room. I added her last night while I was playing in the NA server of League of Legends to catch up. She wasn't that good, but she was nice enough, and she cooperated well. It wasn't that hard to carry if you have one other sane person to carry with.
Blue88: Um, hi.
PictureWho: I don't care, I
FriedChicken: lol someone just got cut off.
RX3: So she's the one you've been telling us about? The girl of your dreams? *lennyface
FriedChicken: ...
Blue88: ...
NyanCow has joined the chat. Say hi!
PictureWho: Hey Jule, you're just in time! Check out Blue88, Gab's dream girl! :p
NyanCow: Oh really? Wow, nice going Gab. *thumbs up
Blue88: ...
FriedChicken: Ay puta. First off, don't go making up false statements, ok? Secondly, I said no such thing. Thirdly—
Blue88 has disconnected.
"Well fuck, how am I going to resolve this situation?"
Wait, was that snickering? Looking up, I saw my little brother snickering at me, laughing like he just watched some cheesy chick flick. Annoying. Then again, the little runt is sitting beside my mom, who always take his side in an argument, no matter how illogical it may seem. Deciding to ignore the little punk, I decided to PM Nikki in League. She's off on FB already, and she seems to be in queue. Just as I was about to type a message, the speakers rang out, stating that we should wear our seatbelts because we're starting the descent. Suddenly, all thoughts are gone, replaced by a single thought.
A brand new start. A brand new life. A brand new...lovelife? Ha, hopefully!
Welcome to the USA!
AN: Sorry for almost no appearance of the girls yet! It's a prologue; it's supposed to do prologue things. Besides, it felt right to end it here, so as to not break the flow of the next scenes ahead. Try and guess who Gab will meet first (Nikki chat doesn't count)! It'll also help me a lot if you can tell me your opinion on this. I'm not used to first-person, so tell me what points I have to work on. Thanks for reading!
