Author's Note: I was reading a Cinderella fic when this idea came to mind. Believe me, I don't know how I went from Cinderella to this either, but that's how my brain functions. Scary, huh?

Anyways... this is a fic based on the story of Fa Mulan. If you've seen Mulan, you should be able to see a couple similarities in this fic and the movie. I've just added my own little twist into it, so it's not exactly like the movie. If you've read my profile, then you should be able to figure out what couplings I've decided to put into this. I'm not going to ruin it by telling... But I will say that I will only put Tai and Sora together. And so there's one of the couples in the story. There isn't very much romance in this first part, but it will be coming soon. And the names of the adults... all totally made up because I don't know what all their parents names are. So please no flames about that... Some of the names are kinda stupid, but that's only because I just pulled them out of my vat of ideas...

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. That was easily said.

The Kingdom Tachikawa on the Continent of Liyira has been at peace for over twenty years looming over it's neighboring kingdoms of Ishida and Takaishi. But the knowledge of this peaceful kingdom attracts many large pillaging clans and pirates across the ocean, believing that the peaceful kingdoms would most likely be the easiest to overthrow; though none have ever succeeded in crossing the vast ocean to reach the continent.

To add on to the desire of pirates and clans to reach this beautiful continent which embeds the elegant Mount Mihiroshi and Mount Jyoto, the kingdoms would soon be holding a large celebration: The Princess of Kingdom Tachikawa is to be wed to the Prince of Kingdom Ishida.

And so, peace and happiness continues to remain on the Continent of Liyira... but nothing is ever forever...

A young soldier hurried toward the Kingdom Tachikawa's front line base located along the front wall of the Tachikawa Market Square, the city at the base of the huge palace. As the messenger between kingdoms, he held in his hand a small white envelope which contained an urgent message which would soon lead to the ending of the twenty year long peace of the kingdoms. As the letter was handed to the front line General Kamiya, he immediately set off with a few of his best men, a close friend and his son to meet with the royal Tachikawa family.

The infamous Kirik Clan from across the ocean were now fast approaching the Continent of Liyira. The kingdoms would soon be entering a full out battle and war...

~*~*~*~

"Sora!" the red-headed sixteen year old boy called up to his friend, "Please come down. If you hurt yourself, your father's going to be angry. He'd have my head for not watching after you." Koushiro Izumi, whom was called Izzy by his friends for short, watched his neighbor and close friend as she secured her footing at the almost highest branch in the largest tree of Mount Mihiroshi.

"Watching after me?" the auburn haired seventeen year old scoffed, "If anything, I'm the one watching out for you. Besides, I'll be fine. It's not the first time I've climbed a tree." Sora Takenouchi stretched her hand out as far as she could and tugged at the kite lightly allowing it to float freely to the ground.

"Okay, it's down now," Izzy picked up the kite, "Now get down here." He studied his new toy to make sure it wasn't ruined. He and his father had been working on this kite for weeks and as soon as it was finished, he dragged his closest friend out to a clearing on Mount Mihiroshi to fly it. But the wind had unexpectedly shifted and the next thing the two knew, the kite had found itself landing in the largest tree on the mountain.

"I don't see what the hurry is," she teased, "I rather like it up here." She chuckled at her younger friend as a look of exasperation came over him. She smiled down at him, "Alright, Koushiro, I'll come down. But only so you'll stop pestering-" She had taken a step to a lower branch and to her surprise, it cracked and gave out. She gasped aloud as her body plunged toward the ground.

"Oh no, Sora!" Izzy cried out. He watched helplessly not knowing what he should do when his friend slipped. But his attention was soon set on a figure that had rushed passed him.

Sora squeezed her eyes shut and braced herself, waiting for the rough and probably hurtful landing. To her surprise, the landing was rather comfortable; a strong pair of arms had caught her just as she neared the ground. She slowly opened up her eyes and looked up, immediately captivated by the chocolate brown eyes staring at her.

"Are you alright, Miss?" a masculine yet soothing voice spoke to her from this young adolescent boy, who looked about her age.

Sora nodded, "Thank you, Sir." She continued to look deep into his warm and inviting eyes and studied his boyish cute facial features and a mass of messy brown hair atop his head.

"Sora," Izzy hurried over to her side as she was lowered back onto her feet, "are you alright?"

"Yeah," Sora said still not taking her eyes away from her savior.

"A young lady, such as yourself, should not be climbing trees," an older voice spoke snapping Sora out of her trance. On the dirt trail, sitting high up on a tall white horse, was an older man dressed in the royal kingdom's war attire. Beside him were others dressed much like himself, but with not as much armory or air of authority. He spoke to the young boy who had caught Sora, "Come on Taichi, we have more families to visit before dark."

Taichi Kamiya nodded to his father, turned and flashed Sora a handsome lopsided grin- one that had made many maidens of the land melt in desire- after she voiced her thanks again, and then mounted his horse to ride away with the rest of the soldiers.

"I believe he's gone now," Izzy said smirking at Sora, "You can quit gawking."

"I wonder what's going on," Sora seemed oblivious to Izzy's teasing, "They're soldiers right?"

"Didn't you hear about the news?" Izzy asked, "The Kirik Clan was spotted approaching the continent. It'll only be a matter of days, actually approximately seven to ten days, before they reach our kingdom. If you count about two or three hours of rest each day for the daily necessities, it'll probably take them a little more than ten days. But I hear the Kirik Clan is pretty strong and can go on days without sleep. But you know, that's almost impossible. No one can really go on days without sleep. Those who do, end up hallucinating-"

"Izzy," Sora crossed her hands, "get to the point, will you?" But as she said that, she already guessed what was going to be said.

"Well, His Majesty of Tachikawa has called a draft of all young men, ages fourteen to forty, I believe, who are still capable of fight," Izzy said, "That was General Kamiya from the Kamiya family of the royal army. They've served the king since-"

"Izzy, I don't need to know about the Kamiya family background," Sora said rolling her eyes.

"Uh, yeah, sorry," Izzy said sheepishly, "Well, General Kamiya was just coming by here to hand out draft letters to all eligible young males of every family. If you receive a draft letter and you sign up, you have to show up at training camp soon, if necessary. If you don't need to go to training camp, then you go directly out to the front and prepare for battle. The thing is, you have to show up with the draft letter, or you're turned away. I don't know why they do that. If they need all the help they can get... Which reminds me, I'll need to go home and-" Izzy looked around and saw that Sora had already dashed off toward her home. She needed to get home quick. If General Kamiya had already passed by her own house, there was the biggest possibility that her father would be leaving in a few days to join the rest of the experienced soldiers at the front. Nothing would be stopping him from going. Not even old age nor a crippled leg that he could easily hide from the recruiting soldiers.

"No, you can't go!" Sora cried, "You can't. You're in no condition to-"

"It is not your place to be telling me what not to do," her father snapped, "I am the head of the household here." Ruki Takenouchi gave a warning look at his daughter.

"Listen to your father Sora," Norico Takenouchi poured a cup of hot tea into her husband's cup.

"But Mama," Sora began. She got another warning look from her father and looked down. She mumbled under her breath, "It's too dangerous. You shouldn't be going, Papa."

Her father's face softened. She smiled sweetly at his beloved daughter, "Sora. I know you are worried for my well-being. But you know that I must do this. The Takenouchi family has served His Majesty with pride for years. This time is no exception. I know you understand."

Sora nodded, "But Papa..." She knew that there was no way of talking her father out of going into battle if necessary. It was true. The Takenouchi family had served Kingdom Tachikawa for many generations, one after another. But this time, there was an exception. Norico Takenouchi was yet to bear a male child for the Takenouchi family. This being the case, the family was unable to send a son off to serve for the royal family and so Ruki would be leaving to serve in battle to maintain the Takenouchi pride.

Even so, Ruki and Norico Takenouchi still showed love and pride for their only daughter, Sora, who turned out to be a very bright and adorable young girl. The only problem was that she was a very tomboyish young girl. Nothing like a young lady at all. They worried for her each day as she became less and less lady-like which was not a good thing if she was to find a husband someday.

"No more, Sora," her father said, "I've made up my mind."

Sora nodded, but reluctantly.

Norico smiled brightly, "Ruki, I visited with the village matchmaker today." Sora's head shot up, Uh oh, here it comes again. Ever since she had turned sixteen, which was the legal age for a young lady to wed, her mother had been talking endlessly about the village matchmaker, Mrs. Kina Fujiyama. Fortunately for Sora, she had not once spoken about-

"She said that she has found a perfect young gentleman for Sora," Norico continued. Sora let out an exasperated sigh, Darn. And I was so hopeful too. Norico's smile faded though, "But because of the impending battles, I'd think that he'd be drafted off to fight with the rest. That means that we won't have a chance to meet with him and his family until after everything's calmed."

"That's too bad," Sora smiled. Yes! she thought.

"No worries," Ruki said, "As soon as this is all over, you will meet him. In the mean time, you will learn from the village matchmaker about being a young lady."

"Papa," Sora protested, "I can be a young lady if I tried. I don't need lessons."

"Then why don't you try acting like one sometimes?" her father scoffed.

"Because it's uncomfortable," Sora said, "Besides, we're only going to meet with him. It doesn't mean I'm going to marry him."

"What do you mean?" her father asked.

"Papa," Sora sighed, "You told me that you wouldn't force me to marry if I didn't love the man. You're not going back on your word are you?" She was about to laugh, but caught her father's serious look.

"Sora," Ruki said, "Sometimes, it is not for you to choose. If this young man chooses you as his future wife, then you will have to be married to him."

"I don't understand," Sora said softly, "You told me-"

"That was when you were young," her father said, "I'm sorry that I misled you, but that is how it is. The lady is never the one to choose. It is the man who chooses."

"But-" Sora began.

"That is how it is," Ruki said sternly.

"That's not how it should be," Sora said, "Why? I don't understand why it is that a girl is not allowed to decide ever. A girl is not allowed to choose her own husband- the man she is to spend the rest of her life with. And... and a girl is-" she braced herself for the predicted reaction she knew she'd receive from her father "-not allowed to serve as a soldier so her own father can rest peacefully without risking his life when he knows very well that he is in no condition to-"

"I will not allow talk like that in this house!" her father roared, "For now, it is okay for you to refuse the idea of not being able to choose your own husband, but for a young lady such as yourself to speak of fighting in a war and serving as a soldier is preposterous nonsense!"

"Papa," Sora protested.

"That is enough, Sora! I will hear no more of this nonsense talk!" he snapped.

Sora drew back and hung her head. Her father seldom scolded her or raised his voice. He had always let Sora get away with many things, but now that she was fast approaching the role she must take on as a young woman, things were changing.

"Do I make myself clear?" he said coldly. Sora looked away angrily. He almost raised his voice, but kept his same tone, "I asked you, do I make myself clear?" She swallowed, looked up into her father's still loving, yet anger filled eyes and nodded reluctantly.

"You?" Izzy laughed, "Married? And become a young lady too? That must be the most incredible news I've heard all day." He picked up a small pebble and threw it into the small pond.

"I know," Sora said ignoring the tone of disbelief in her young friend's voice, "But what really gets to me is that, when I was young, Papa always told me that someday I'd be able to marry a man I loved. Not one who decides to choose me. I always thought I'd have the choice."

"Well," Izzy said, "according to tradition in the kingdom, no one girl is ever allowed to choose her own husband. Not even the crown princess of Tachikawa."

"Not even?" Sora asked, "And I always thought that the princess would at least have some power."

Izzy shook his head, "Nope. The princess's husband was chosen for her. From what I know, neither of the two have even seen or met before."

"That must really be awful," Sora sighed, "I'd like to at least be able to get to know the man I'll be marrying before I do."

"I'd have to say that as a common young village boy," Izzy began, "I'm actually one of the luckier people."

"Why's that?" Sora asked. She skipped a couple pebbles into the pond. The last one skipped eight times before sinking to the bottom.

"Well, not even nobility has the decision to choose for themselves," Izzy explained. He stepped back and plopped onto the rock ground, "The Prince of Kingdom Ishida-"

"You mean the prince who is to be wedded to the princess?" Sora cut in.

Izzy nodded, "Even he wasn't allowed to choose his own wife. I heard that he and his father had a huge fight over this decision. But in the end, he didn't even succeed. I can see why he doesn't like the idea of having a young lady betrothed to marry him. His mother and father are now separated and each with their own kingdoms. All because they had been married that way. Luckily, Queen Nancy of Kingdom Takaishi, hasn't been frowned upon for her decision. She's the only exception to the law of the land... so far."

"I wish I could choose to do what I wanted to," Sora said also seating herself on the rocks surrounding the pond. She then smirked as a thought came to her head, "So, Izzy... Is this why you haven't found a girl yet? Are you still choosing?"

Izzy blushed and nodded, "I haven't found any one girl in this village who strikes me as, uh, what's the word... appealing?"

"What do you look for in a girl?" Sora asked staring up into the clouds. She chuckled at some of the images she was seeing from each cloud above. One seemed to look like a bucking horse with it's rider hanging on for dear life. Sora almost giggled at her wild imagination.

"Well, I don't know," Izzy began, "I never really thought about it yet. I just turned sixteen a while back..."

"That has nothing to do with it," Sora said, "Don't any of the maidens of the village meet your standards?"

"Well, I don't know," Izzy said, "I never thought about my standards. I've always thought I'd find her when I find her... Besides, all the girls in our village are a little, uh..."

Sora laughed, "Air-headed?" She chuckled when she saw Izzy shrug, then nod.

"Maybe a little," Izzy said, "If they're not rich and snobby, they act like they are. And then some of them are just so..."

"Ditzy?" Sora chuckled. Again, Izzy just shrugged and nodded.

"I guess I'd like to find a girl who is, I don't know, smart, intellectual," Izzy said staring up into the sky at the clouds, "That way I'd have someone I can relate to, you know."

Sora chuckled, but sighed, "I wish I had the freedom to choose my path like you do, Izzy? You don't know how lucky you are."

"If you had the freedom to choose," Izzy asked, "what would you do?" He tilted his head when he saw what looked like a cloud shaped like a deformed wagon.

"I... I'd take my father's place in battle," Sora said saying the first thing on her mind.

Izzy's head whirled to looked at her, "You know that's impossible." He looked around, "You're lucky that no one is around to hear that kind of talk from you. You'd probably get into trouble. You know it's treason to disobey the royal law of the land. And I know for a fact that there is one stating that it is forbidden for young ladies to serve as soldiers on the battlefield."

Sora nodded, "Why do you think I wish I could choose? I just don't want Papa to get hurt. As much as he or I hate to admit it, Papa has gotten, well, older... and... and I don't think he'd be able to make it out there in battle. And he hurt his leg many years ago. It's never really gotten better yet... I just know that he's going to hurt himself." She pulled her legs into her chest and buried her head.

"Well, there really isn't anything you can do about it," Izzy leaned back onto a rock behind him and spoke absentmindedly, "I wish that I could go in place of your father too, but I'm already going for my family. Unless there's another male in your family who is eligible for service, your father would never back out of this. Too bad you're a girl."

"Hey!" Sora slapped Izzy on the shoulder.

"I was speaking on behalf of your father's benefit," Izzy said rubbing his hurt shoulder, "If you were a male, then you could go and he wouldn't have to be the one heading off and we wouldn't be having this conversation and you wouldn't be such a worried wreck and..." He continued to ramble on still rubbing his hurt shoulder. He wasn't at all surprised or in awe of the strength from the young girl who had always been able to take him down whenever she felt the need.

Sora looked away and shook her head. But her face became blank suddenly. Another male. Why isn't there-? Sora thought to herself, but looked into the pond at her reflection. She touched her face and then looked over at Izzy who had stopped rambling, finally and now seemed entranced at the clouds in the sky. She smiled, Another male? If I were... What if...? She bit her lower lip in thought, but nodded to herself and smiled.

"No, Daddy!" the young princess stomped into her chamber and slammed the door behind her. She plopped down on her bed and began to sulk. She was furious with her father and her mother for making such a quick and rash decision.

Only seconds ago was she told that her husband was selected for her and that she would soon be wedded to him. As soon as she heard the news, she felt outraged. And with reason too. Princess Mimi Tachikawa was the one princess of the dominant kingdom of the continent. She was His Royal Majesty's pride and joy. Wasn't she even allowed to choose her own husband? Instead, she was to be wedded to some prince in a neighboring kingdom whom she'd never even met before in her whole life.

What was his name again? Yomato Ishida? She flipped over on her back side and stared at the pink shimmering canopy surrounding her huge bed. Tears streaked her face. Tears of anger. If she was to marry someone, she wanted it to be out of love. Not because of some treaty or long time promise. It just wasn't fair.

She pulled herself up and over to her window. She looked out into the beautiful lands. The lands on the continent that she hadn't even been able to explore yet. She'd always wanted to go out and see the land that the palace loomed over. It all just seemed so serene... so... beautiful.

She sighed and pulled the tiara of jewels that was holding up her light brown hair, off of her head and tossed in onto the nearest chair. Her father had promised to take her sightseeing. But that was a long time ago. She was still young and it seemed that promises made to young children, could easily be broken.

She stared out at the village beside Tachikawa Market Square. Mount Mihiroshi Village. It was more of a peaceful village than the market square outside of the palace. And it was located at the base of Mount Mihiroshi- the mystical mountain of the continent. She sighed wondering what it'd be like to live there and not as a princess. Would she finally be able to make her own decisions? Act the way she wanted to? Was it even possible?

There was a twinkle in her eye as she cocked her head in thought...

"Don't get so angry, Matt," Takeru Takaishi, called TK for short, tried to talk to his brother, "Calm down. It's not the end of the world."

"You should talk," Yomato Ishida, who preferred to be called Matt by his friends and relatives, brushed away his younger brother's hand on his shoulder, "I didn't hear you say anything when Dad announced that I was to marry that ditzy Princess Mimi Tachikawa." He stood up from the chair at his study desk and turned toward his brother.

"I try not to talk back to Dad," TK laughed. He ran his hand through his mess of blonde hair, unlike his brother's blonde hair that was nicely combed, "Anyways, what makes you think that Princess Mimi is ditzy anyways. She may turn out to be very pretty, then you'll wish that you didn't talk about her the way you do now."

"If you think so, why don't you marry her for me?" Matt said sarcastically.

"Hold it right there," TK raised his hands and backed away, "Don't toss something at me just because you don't want her yourself. That's wrong. Besides, she's a little older than I am. She wouldn't be my type anyways."

"And not being able to decide who I want to marry is right?" Matt leaned against the wall, "And how do you know she's not your type?"

"I don't really go for the ditzy princess types," TK laughed.

"I thought you said that she wasn't ditzy," Matt said sarcastically.

"I don't want to take a risk," TK joked, "Just like you, I'd rather go find a girl I love to marry. Not just some girl chosen by Mom from some royal family. Even if it means scouring the small villages of the continent to find her."

A light bulb suddenly went off in Matt's head. He looked at his brother with a devilsh smile and a twinkle in his eye, "Hey, TK. I think that we both deserve to find true love on our own."

"I know," TK said absently, "But you know how impossible-" He noticed the devious look on his older brother's face. His expression became blank, "I don't like that look on your face, Matt."

Matt smiled, "If we stay here, we'll never get to find a girl we love. But if we go out there-" he strutted over to his window and looked out into the villages surrounding the large Ishida Palace "-we'll have a greater chance of finding the right person."

"Matt," TK shook his head, "That'll never work. Especially for you. You're already supposed to marry Princess Mimi of Kingdom Tachikawa."

"But Dad said that it's not exactly settled yet," Matt said, "Until the actual wedding, nothing's final."

"But-" TK protested.

"But nothing, TK," Matt said, "If I find someone I love before the wedding, then Dad will have no other choice but to let me marry her. Besides, I'm doing this in part for you, TK. Mom hasn't found a wife for you yet cause you're still young. But in about four years, TK..."

"I don't even want to think about it," TK said.

"Then you go and you find your true love first," Matt said, "If I had thought of that earlier, I wouldn't be in this dilemma right now."

"Well..." TK sighed heavily in thought. He didn't want to have to, some day, marry a girl he didn't even know. But he didn't want to defy his mother either.

"But I have to say," Matt said, "You might be luckier. I mean, you stayed with Mom and she's a pretty reasonable person. But you never know..."

TK looked at Matt, "Alright. We'll go. But where to?"

"Here's an idea," Matt said, "I know a place that they would never look for us." He smiled his devious smile again. He looked toward the village at the base of Mount Mihiroshi and pointed at it, "That's were General Kamiya and Taichi is going to be training the new recruits to serve the kingdoms. We can always join them and hide out there. And we'll hang out with Tai while we stay there. Mom and Dad would never think of looking for us in a training camp."

"But Matt," TK began, "Those soldiers will soon be going off to battle when they're ready. And how are we supposed to find a girl in a training camp?"

"Nobody ever said that we weren't allowed to leave the training camp to go to the village there," Matt said, "And besides, we're serving the kingdoms at the same time. If we do a good job, maybe Dad and King Kai of Kingdom Tachikawa will have no choice but to let me choose who I want to marry."

"That was your idea the whole time," TK said exasperated, "You're hopeless."

"I'm just trying to take things into my own hands," Matt smiled, "Besides, like I said, this benefits you too." He smirked, "I hear that Taichi's got a very cute younger sister..."

TK glared at his brother, "I don't need you to play matchmaker for me. I can find my own true love, thank you very much. From what I hear, Tai makes his sister sound like a pain."

"You shouldn't judge before you've met her," Matt teased.

"Hypocrite," TK muttered under his breath, knowing very well that it'd be wise not to anger his brother.

"So are you game?" Matt asked looking out at the village.

TK shrugged, "Why not?" He too looked out the window at Mount Mihiroshi Village. It actually looked very nice and possibly a good place to get away to.

"Tai?" Kari Kamiya walked into her older brother's room. She sat down at his study desk and looked at him thoughtfully, "What are you doing Tai?"

Tai just looked out at the moon and the stars. For some odd reason, he had the need to observe the stars of the lovely night sky. He found himself seeing the image of ruby red eyes in his mind. The eyes of one of the most beautiful maidens he had ever seen.

That girl he had seen that afternoon while traveling around Mount Mihiroshi Village to deliver draft letters with his father. She seemed very different from many girls. Not every girl in the kingdom enjoyed climbing trees. Mostly, they would be sitting at home doing needle work with friends. But this girl... she was unique... she dared to be different...

... And she was beautiful. He couldn't stop thinking about those crimson ruby eyes of hers. They were so captivating. Sora... her friend had called her Sora... He hoped that he hadn't heard wrong...

"Hello?" Kari broke into his thoughts, "Are you here, Taichi?" She was fiddling around with the ink pen and paper on his desk.

"Wha-?" Tai whirled around, "When did you come in here?" He marched over and grabbed the pen from her hand.

"I've been in here," Kari said, "You haven't though. What were you thinking of?" She smiled teasingly, "Or rather, who where you thinking of?" There was a devious glint in her eye, "I know that far off look."

Tai shook his head, "Don't you have to go study with Joe?"

Kari shook her head, "No. Study session's over. Joe and Dr. Kido went home."

"Then don't you have something else to do?" Tai asked, "Besides pestering me?"

"Nope," Kari shook her head.

"Get out of here," Tai said plopping onto his bed in exasperation.

"Guess what?" Kari said, "Dad said that I could come along."

Immediately, Tai sat back up, "What?"

"Dad told me that he was going to allow me to come along and help out at the training camp," she said unenthusiastically.

"But you can't," Tai said.

"Why not?" Kari asked half not listening. Without waiting for Tai to answer, she spoke, "It's cause I'm a girl, right?" Tai didn't reply, knowing that either way, she'd get angry at him.

"Get out of here," Tai finally said, "I'm tired. Tomorrow's a big day."

"You didn't answer my question," Kari countered, knowing exactly what he was going to say. Boys, she thought. She got up and headed toward the door when he didn't even say anything more, "FYI, I'm only going to be there to help out a couple things. You know, when new recruits train, the possibility of getting hurt is pretty big. I'll be there with Joe as the camp doctors. I'm not going to get in the way of your training... Captain Kamiya." She tried to put the emphasis on his title enough to get a reaction from him. She succeeded and congratulated herself mentally for, once again, knowing which buttons to push to get the reaction she wanted out of her brother.

Tai sat up, "You're serious?" Captain? When did this happen? he thought to himself.

"Yeah, it's not like I'm going to be training with you," Kari said, "I'm studying all this medical stuff with Joe for a reason." The whole time, she was surprisingly able to keep her face straight.

"No, no," Tai said, "I mean what you called me..."

"What did I call you?" Kari smirked. She turned and walked out of his room. Tai sighed and plopped on his bed. She's just fooling with your head again. Remember? Last time she hinted at a promotion, you made a fool of yourself. Let's never let that happen again. Why would you get promoted to Captain anyways? Because you're good at what you do... With the occasional help of your Dad... Forget it. Tai closed his eyes and decided to get some rest if he was going to get up early in the morning to prepare for training camp. His mind, however, wandered to that girl he had run into, or rather, caught that morning, I wonder if I'll ever see her again. His eyes wandered over to the window and looked at the moon. The moon was especially bright and radiant today...

And there's the end of the first part. If you're still a little foggy on the couples I'm putting into this fic, don't worry, you're not the only ones, cause I haven't really hinted at who would be with who... yet.
