Like i promised here is a sneak peek of the first chapter of my new story A Memory Within Memories! This is not an official chapter, i written this months ago when i first thought of this idea so the chapter might change. Anyway enjoy this first look
Summary- What memories do we hold dear in our hearts and what memories fade away from the subconcious? Alice Gehabich finds an old picture from when she was born in the arms of two smiling faces who she asumed was her parents. The question is why is her mother smiling but her eyes held such sadness? Setting on an adventure of unlocking the truth will Alice regret or will she be over joyed?
Chapter One:
Alice POV:
Its been three months since Julie left for earth. With Sharleen and Kohaku gone on earth as well. Its been kind of weird not having everyone around. Runo went back to college after her school break. Billy is here on visit from his vacation. Everyone is so busy since its close to college midterms. Stressful time. Even more so for me. Since the contest, all of us decided to wait a couple of years before. Three years have passed. Alice came up with amazing songs she written. Hanako Delia Higarashi, a young manager working at various music companies. Is Alice manager, and high school friend.
Hanako made an arangement at Lantis music company. Hanako manages our group Miss B. Since we all went our separate ways for college. We couldn't go out in public, now that Mira is preganant. It delayed us more. So to make things easier she suggested we go solo instead. Hanako works for two labels, Lantis and King records. She manages myself, Runo, Fabia and Julie. Hanako felt Mira would have more success somewhere else with a better manager.
She suggested a friend of her's working at EMI Music Japan. It worked. Before Mira got preganant, she was the first out of the group to come out solo. With her first album, going under her alias name, Mirage.
When Mira found out she was with a child she released her second album quite. Knowing she will have to take a break.
The past years I have been coming up with material for my first album. Decided to release two albums at the same time. Since im done with midterms I have time. So by next year I wont have to worry much. Just focus on graduating college. At least that's what I thought.

July 7, 2016, Shuns House 1:12pm
At times, I spend the night at Shun's place. He wants me to move in with him, I cant until Runo comes back from college. I will be staying at our apartment. Waiting for Shun to come home, I started cleaning up around the place. Listening to Mira first album song, Which is so far my absolute favorite. Hearing the lyrics, I knew this song was dedicated to Ace. I can also hear it has a special meaning in the song.
Once in my life
Love's in my heart
Touching your hand
Just takes me back again
Close the door behind you
I'm steppin' out for love
Let me be the same as yesterday
You're the one I dream of
So let me be your love again
Rocking back and forth to the music. I remember when the album came out. We was so proud of her including Ace. Around that time, I think that is when Ace Jr. was conceived. He is such a handsome bundle of joy. Has Mira eyes and hair, but looks like Ace.
Lookin' all around me
For places you may be
The lonliness I feel is day to day
I really need to see you
And hold you in my arms again
My Precious
My Precious Love...
The song ended, taking out the cd. I put in the next cd, I started to cook dinner for when Shun comes in. As the food cooks, I unpacked the rest of my clothes. Taking out a red bag my grandpa sent me, a picture came out. Picking it up, the family in the picture looks so happy. Looking at the couple I notice something strange.
There eyes look so sad, seeing that there is something written in the back. 'November 20, 1994 Baby Alice Gehabich'
I started at the picture once more and smiled. Its me... And my parents. I almost cried. How come I never seen this photo I wonder. I'll ask grandfather tomorrow.

Dialing grandfather Michael communicator. Its special made for all of us, with his and Marucho help creating it. Seeing his face pop up, a smile curved my face.
"Alice! Its so good to see you my dear." Michael smiled.
"Hello grandfather Michael. Glad to see you are well." I smiled back.
"Yes better than usual. My back is driving me crazy." Streching his back.
"I told you, don't overwork yourself." I protested.
"HAHA! Okay, ill try not to. Came to check on your old grandpa?"
"No... Actually... I want to ask about this picture." Showing the photo. His face became real pale.
"Where... Where did you get that?" Michael asked.
"It came from inside the red bag you sent me. Is this... Me and my parents grandfather?" Eyes getting watery.
"..."
"Grandfather... Please answer me... Grandfather Michael." I pleaded.
"... Yes... Those are your parents."
"How come I never seen them till now! No picture, nothing... How come I don't know anything about them?" Questioning him.
"Its too painful to remember. The past was so difficult. You lived with your aunt and uncle until I took over of taking care of you. Both your parents died Alice. You was only a baby, I couldn't deal with there lost. So your aunt, your father sister, and her fiancé took care of you." Michael told her.
"What is there names?" I choked out.
"... Alexander Gehabich. My only son, he was the oldest. He was a business man, went by the name Alex Geeha. Why I would never know." He laughed out.
"My mother...?"
"Sarah. She was a smart beautiful woman. Your father felled in love with her at first sight if I remember. Back during her college years."
I couldn't help but smile. Hearing that filled my heart with joy. "Can you tell me more about them?"
"Sorry dear. At my old age I cant remember that far back."
"That's okay grandfather. Thank you... I feel closer to them." Holding the photo tight.
Ending the call. I felt anger inside me. He lied. Straight to my face, he knows that I know he's lying. He has very good memory. Why would he lie about not knowing much about my parents. What is the whole point of keeping it secret from me. I wouldn't care about nothing... I just want to know about my parents. Alexander... and Sarah. My parents...
What is your story?
