Thanks everyone for reviewing this. This chapter is kinda boring. I like the beginning and the ending but the middle gets boring. But the middle is important to her new life, so it cant be helped. Gomen minna-san.

A plane. Definition: A large metal object that will fly me to another part of the world.
Take me from the life that I have known my whole entire life so that I can start anew. New
beginnings are in order from this day forth and I will make my new life the best that I can.
I will depend on no one but myself, and I will not regret what I have done for a single day.
I will only fell sorry for the pain that I have cause to those that loved me, but I will never
regret my choice.
What is over is over and nothing can change that I thought as I stepped off the plane.
I knew now that I couldn't go back. It was to late. Yes someday I will return but I am not ready
and neither are they. I collected my bags off of the belt. Everything around me was strange.
I decided to start my new life in New York. Luckily I did know a English from classes at school.
But I had a heavy accent and I couldn't always make sense of what everyone around me was saying. The first thing that I did was store my stuff in a locker and then bought a newspaper to check out open apartments or roommates. I went around town in a taxi taking in the strange sites and different cultures, places, smells. There were so many different cultures in New York, that was why I chose it. Today it was hot and muggy July day. I even ended up stopping off at a store and buying a tank top to wear with my flares. Finally after half a day the taxi driver pulled up next to an old apartment building, unlike many of the buildings that I had seen today this one was in better shape and in a better side of town. I went up the old stone steps, passing the gargoyles that stood on each side of the door. I climbed all the way to the top floor, and came to a stop in front of an old wood door with the letters 4A on it. It was the only room on the floor, the penthouse. I could hear rap music being played from somewhere inside. I let my knuckles rap lightly on the door, just making sure that they could be heard
over the music. The door opened suddenly and a pretty girl looked at me strait in the eyes.
She was tall, dark tan skin, green eyes, and beautiful curly black hair hung down to her
waist, she looked only a year older. She reminded me of a model. She wore a black tank top
with shorts. What surprised me the most was the nose ring. In Tokyo it was uncommon. "I'm here
about the room." I say, at least my voice sounds more confident that I actually feel
right now. "Come on in. Names Ella. And you are?"
"Serena Moonstone. Please call me Rena."
"Okay Rena, Rents a hundred and fifty a month. You have to pay half of all the other bills.
There will be no guys, drinking, drugs, or parties in my home unless there is special
permission on the party. If you are underage you will have to go to school and still find
away to pay for the bills. If you bring me any trouble you're out on your ass the second I
find out. I'm going to need to know a few other things. "What is your age, where are you from
exactly, any emergency numbers I might have to know in case something happens to you, any
illness that may cause you problems now, and school that you will be going to, oh and your
grade?"
This girl seems to know her business really well. She gets strait to the point and waits
for no one. I like her. She seems nice, and I can tell she really doesn't want trouble.
I gave her the answers to all of her questions as she showed me the apartment. It was in
really go shape. No rats or bugs that I could tell
of. The last place I checked out had a ton of them. The living room was kind of small. It
had a medium sized tv, a couple of those cup chairs, a bean bag, and a love seat, and it
sliding glass doors lead to a balcony. She then lead me to a room, actually it was two
rooms with a large open doorway in the middle. "This would be your room. I looked at the
white walls. One room was clearly a studio, there were large open windows a smaller balcony,
and the floor had no carpet, but the other room had dark maroon carpet, a closet, large
mirrors, a black and silver ceiling fan.. It was the best room I had seen all day. "Do I
get the room?" The only reply I got from Ella was "When can you move in?"
Today. Yes today, July 15th, 2001 I made my new life, a new friend and roommate, and a new
home.
I left the apartment then and made my way to find a new job. And I got hired after four
interviews as a part time secretary in the afternoons and weekends. After I had left the job
interviews and I had taken my stuff to my new home I had bought a map of the city, making my
way around my new home. I had saw something I had never wanted to see again in my life,
something that I had tried to get away from but couldn't. A part of the old me entered me again
when I saw it. I realized it then but I couldn't change this part of me because it was really a
part of me, not what others were trying to shape me into. It was something that I couldn't
throw away, something I couldn't ignore. I realized then that a part of the old Usagi would
stick with the new Rena.
