"Come on, let's go find the-" My sentence was cut short as I was grabbed from behind.

" Well look what I found! And who might these beautiful ladies be?" I heard a deep masculine voice say as I was swung around the air.

"Ryo! Don't scare me like that! I thought I was going to have a heart attack!" I laughed as I looked at him, with Yuki and Toni coming up behind us.

Toni, Yuki, and Ryo had been our best guy friends since we started high school, but each of us (Hikaru, Umi, and I) were closer to one than the others. Ryo, with his black hair and blue eyes, was like the older brother I never had as well as my friend who I could always go to if I couldn't talk to Hikaru or Umi. He was the one who could read my feelings and thoughts like an open book. It was the same thing with Toni and Hikaru, and Yuki and Umi.

"Let's go! I hear they're putting up a volleyball net. I say it's us manly-men, against you girly-girls!" Toni was already running away as he said this. We, of course ran after him, yelling every insult we could remember while Yuki and Ryo cheered us on from the side lines.

As the world started to fade back into existence, I felt my clothes disappear as new ones replaced them. I looked down and saw myself wearing what looked like dark green bathing shorts and a black tank. The others started coming into focus as well as the world, Earth. What I saw was surprising to say the least.

First of all, we were on a beach in the middle of the day. Next, that there was some sort of party going on as there were people, teens most likely, running around. But what really got my attention was that in the center of it all was the girl of my dreams. Fuu.

But she wasn't alone, Hikaru and Umi were with her as well as three guys, one of which was twirling Fuu around in the air as she laughed. Oh, I was going to kill him....
