May 1 - 8:48 A.M

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping and the already hot sun hitting the side of my face, slightly squinting my eyes, I turned to lay down on my back, stretching out. Letting out a loud yawn I rubbed the gunk out of my eyes and opened them. I stared at the ceiling for a couple of minutes but something had suddenly struck me.

I wasn't in my house.

I shot up from the bed and looked around the room, simple white walls with a desk, bed, closet, and a kotatsu in the middle of the room. I then remembered last night, my friends and I had just entered japan from the contest we won, so I would be staying here for 2 months with my host family. This would be the most amazing 2 months of my life! I yawned again and kicked the sheets off me and jumped out of bed, going to the closet where I had unpacked my stuff the night before. I grabbed a pink skirt, black leggings, and a silky yellow sleeveless dress shirt. I went and took a shower which was located in the bathroom across the hall and changed into my clothing. I put my shoulder length blond hair up in a ponytail with a purple ribbon to match the streaks in my hair and stared at myself in the mirror for a couple seconds and then started to giggle. I exited the bathroom and went and placed my pajamas in the hamper and went downstairs to see my host family. My host family consisted of 2 host brothers, 1 sister, and a mother and father.

My host brothers are Yuuta and Syuusuke, Yuuta goes to St. Rudolph, is in 8th grade, and in the tennis club. Syuusuke is in 9th grade and goes to Seigaku, the one I'm going to, he's considered a tensai and is on the tennis club as well. My host sister is Yumiko, she's 24, and my host mother, Yoshika is 46. She said that I will probably wont be able to see my host father much due to him being a foreign-based employee.

"Ohayo Gozaimasu" I chirped as I rounded the corner into the kitchen where Yuuta, Syuusuke and Yumiko sat while Yoshika made a japanese style breakfast.

"Ohayo Gozaimasu Alice-Chan." Yumiko and Syuusuke replied while Yuuta merely continued to eat his breakfast.

I sat down at the table, still smiling, while Yoshika turned around and smiled at me. "You don't mind eating a Japanese style breakfast do you Alice-Chan?" she questioned.

"Oh! Not at all, actually I was quite hoping you would make one, since there isn't any close in California that I can eat at, Ive always wanted to try one."

"Well thats good, this morning Im making steamed white rice, salmon trout, miso soup with tofu, steamed carrots, green tea and pickled plums."

"Mm! Sounds delicious!" My mouth began to water just thinking about it.

"Haha well I hope you like it." She picked up a dish and placed it in front of me.

A grin tugged at my lips excited of what it would taste like. "Itadakimasu"

I soon dug into my meal enjoying every single taste that rushed into my mouth. Yumiko, Yoshika and Syuusuke laughed lightly at how hungry I had looked. "I'm going ot practise now." Yuuta got up and placed his dish into the sink.

"Sayonara Yuuta-san!" I managed to mumble out with the food constantly in my mouth.

He exited the kitchen and the sound of a door closing could be heard shortly after "So how is it Alice-Chan?"

"I like it!" I stopped stuffing my mouth with the delicious food and replied kindly to Yoshika.

Yoshika giggled, "So how about Syuusuke-kun show you around Tokyo?"

I had just finished all the food that was on my dish and looked at Yoshika and replied: "Really? Syuusuke-san wouldnt mind?" I turned my gaze to Syuusuke who was smiling.

"Of course I wouldn't mind, Id be honored really."

I giggled at his polite response. "Alright then."

"Well ikkimashou."

May 1 - 1:34 P.M

A yawn escaped my mouth, standing on my tippy toes and stretching out, making a pose similar to a cats. "That's the 7th time you've yawned Tori-Chan are you sure you got enough sleep?"

"Yupp." I yawned again, "I'm sure, I'm just not really a morning person ya know?"

"Ano, it's noon."

"Meh same thang."

Yuushi sweat-dropped at my response and soon coughed regaining his posure. "So where should we go first?"

"Um well I don't really know what there is around here, but can you take me to a kawaii cafe Yuushi-Saaaan nya?" I gave him an eye-closed smile with my response.

"Oh, well sure there is one about 3 blocks away and... Nya?" he seemed to question.

"Haha my friend got it stuck in me. I say it every now 'n then 'cause she says it a lot haha." I laughed, scratching the back of my head.

"Well alright. Follow me."

"Awright lead the way!" I gave a salute and trailed behind him.

Awhile later we stood in front of an UBER cute cafe. And when I mean uber, I mean uber.My mouth went agap and I stood there for a minute or so, taking in the most kawaii scenery ever. It seemed to look like that cafe off of the anime Tokyo Mew Mew, but no pink just brown, white, and dark blue. When we went inside the waitress' had on maid outfits, blue and white. Most of the girls had brightly colored wigs on, like pink, lime green, neon blue ect. But others also had no wigs on with just brown and black hair. There were no blonds except for one girl, but it was a wig, it went down to the bottom of her butt. It sorta made me wonder how people could deal with such long hair, and I knew people did had hair like that. There was this one sixth grader when I was in third grade it was almost at her knee's, and honestly, it scared me a bit.

Yuushi and I sat down at a table and while we waited I stared around the cafe at all the kawaii stuff, haha, I think that if I stare at this stuff too much, my head with explode. "Hello, may I take your order?"

I turned my gaze to the waitress who appeared at our table. She had a long pink wig on and her name tag written in katakana read: Emi, meaning smile, by the way it was written in. "Ah yes, I'll have a piece of strawberry shortcake with kuzuyu. And you Tori-Chan?"

"Ano..." I looked at the menu, so many yummy sounding dishes, and so little time, "I will taaake a bubblegum Ramune and a piece of green tea cake. Arigatou."

"O.K." And with that she walked away.

"Ramune, have you had that before?"

"Yupp! I had it when I went to an anime convention a year ago, it was so much fun." I giggled as I remembered myself cosplaying as Mion from the anime 'Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni'.

A couple of minutes passed by and our food came. Green tea cake is amazing! Yeah, I had ordered it, but it was my first time trying it. I practically devoured my whole meal in less than a minute. Yuushi said he would pay for it, despite myself arguing that I should pay for myself. As we exited the cafe it seemed to be hotter outside. "Maybe today wasn't such a good idea to wear skinnies and a sweater, but at least I'm wearing a cap" I mumbled to no one in particular.

My choice of outfit? Bright Yellow Skinnies, a Warped Tour Sweater which was black, purple, blue, and white, a Vans Cap, and a Alice In Videoland T-Shirt which was white and black (but mostly black).

"Well, where do you want to go now?" Yuushi questioned, staring down at me with a smile.

I looked up at him and lightly blushed, trying to suppress it. Yuushi was taller than me by quite a bit, but then again, he was also 2 years older than me. Yuushi was at 5'10" (178cm) and I was at 5'3½" (161cm).

We wandered around Tokyo for awhile stopping at stores and such, I had managed to buy a LM.C CD and a Olivia Lufkin CD which was hard to find where I lived. I had basically been in a bubbly mood all evening. I had seen this one cosplay shop, it was amazing. I had sparkles in my eyes and ended up jumping around everywhere for about 15 minutes till I wore myself out.

May 1 - 5:55 P.M

"...And then we went to the Harajuku Station in Shibuya, it was Awesome! I mean it's not everday an american girl like me gets to see so many outragous clothing and beautiful people like that!" I laughed as everyone smiled brightly at me, "The only person I get to see dress like that every now and then is my friend Tori, she's totally obsessed with Japan, but then again, I can't blame her!"

"Your friend Tori, she came with you didn't she?" Yumiko questioned simply.

"Yupp, her class also won man when I talked to her on the phone, she almost made me deaf, I swear." I giggled.

"Well it sure sounds like you two had a good time." Yoshika smiled gathering the empty plates on the table.

"Uh-huh, and arigatou for the meal Yoshika-san! Once again a delicious meal!"

"Oh it was nothing," she beamed, a blush covering across her cheeks.

May 1 - 6:46 P.M

I sighed as I layed down on the soft white bed, now feeling the strain on my back as the pressure was lifted from walking all day. I turned onto my side and grabbed a pillow cushioning it between my right arm and head. I closed my eyes, tired from my long day around Tokyo, but not yet tired enough to fall asleep. A knock disturbed my once peaceful manner and made me snap my eyes open but only half way. Yawning, I sat upright at the end of the bed and pushed my messy bangs out of my eyes; "Come in."

The door revealed Shizune, a peaceful look on her face. "Konbanwa Tori-Chan, I take it you had a good day?"

"Hai, it was very exciting." I smiled and tilted my head to the side.

She laughed lightly and pushed tucked back some of her midnight hair behind her ear. "And a tiring one as well, it appears that Yuushi-kun is asleep already."

My face held a lightly surprised one, "Really? Haha well that's a surprise, after all, I'm the one who got all hyper over a cosplay shop and a sugar high after our ice-cream."

We both laughed and smiled. "Well you must be tired too, you should get some rest, your first day of school is tomorrow."

"Oh! That's right, it is!"

Shizune gave me an eye-closed smile; "Indeed, so get a good nights sleep and I will see you in the morning, alright?"

"Alright, Oyasuminasai Shizune-san."

"Oyasuminasai Tori-Chan."

As she closed the door I got up and lazily opened the closet door where my clothing resided for my time being here. Seeing as I was extremely tired, I didn't bother going to the washroom which was placed only a few 10 step away and decided to change right where I was. I chose a pair of Comfy pajama's that would not keep me too warm in the night as my choice and jumped into bed, the lights now off. I layed down, replaying the whole day in my head and thinking of what would happen tomorrow. I hugged the pillow in my arms now falling blissfully asleep.
