Mai-Chan had just gotten out of school, all tired and so not relaxed. She had work to do, and it was close to the end of the year and finals were coming up. Not wanting to go directly to do her homework, she trails off online, visiting one of her usual websites. She didn't really have friends online, and her parents kind of gave her the impression that people online were dangerous. But she didn't really care, because no one talks to her online anyway. Opening up her usual website, she begins reading the numerous boards, trying to find some sort of entertainment from her usual daily routines. A twinkle in her eyes appeared as she read one of the titles of the boards, "What's your age and ethnicity?"

Mai-Chan was bored, and since there was nothing else to do, she found herself replying. "16/Japanese" she typed. She read through the responses, and noticed that people were pretty much in their 20s, except for him, Setsuna, who was 17 at the time. Not paying much attention, she left the room and continued on her routine of chatroom browsing, when she gets a message from someone, Setsuna.

Setsuna was like his usual self, bored and very much mindless at the moment. Being interested in talking to a girl that he would probably never talk to again in his life, rather then see in his lifetime, he instant messaged her with a quick reply:
"Hey! You're the first Japanese I've met!"

Setsuna didn't really think he would get a reply. He just wanted to do something to pass time. Was he expecting a reply back or not was not his intention, but he seemed to be refreshing his page quite often - much more often then his usual tap of the refresh button every now and then. After seeing Mai-Chan reply, he was overjoyed, "My god, a girl responded." ran through his head. Opening up the message, he reads inside:
"You're the first person I've met!"

He was quite surprised. Usually girls are quickly known, and guys are fast at swarming over any girl online. Setsuna smiled - his one of very few smiles he showed the world - and strikes up a conversation with Mai-Chan. Trying to be out of his usual self, he does what most guys do, talk. It was different of him to talk to such an interesting and funny girl. For the first time, he was able to talk to a girl and not be overly shy about it. He was very interested.

Mai-Chan, who had just met a new found friend online, was overly happy. She had never had an online friend before, and never as much expected anyone to talk to her. She was sweet, reserved, quiet, short, and very much personal, but somehow, she opened up to him. "Mai-Chan!!! DINNER!!!" her mom screamed from above. Typing quickly, she sends Setsuna one last message:
"I have to go :( It was nice talking to you, talk to you soon!"

Setsuna never once did get anything more then a bye, less much a full message when a girl had to leave. Not wanting to become overly happy, put the message aside, and continued on with his chatroom surfing.

"Dude..." *slap* "You're daydreaming again." "Wha?" asked Setsuna, who had just been shot back into reality by his old trusting friend. "Look" Genji tells Setsuna hurryingly "Huh?" Setsuna says while turning his head towards the door, and he sees her standing.
