DEWPRISM
The Dewprism. The most powerful ancient object in the world. For centuries, it has been rumored to have the power to grant any wish the owner likes. But unfortunately, it became too powerful for any owner to handle it, and has been locked away in an ancient Japanese temple. There it sits, amidst impossible traps and puzzles, waiting to be claimed. Now, in the year 2002, four teenagers, who all need a wish to be granted, who don't even know each other, have found the courage to travel to Japan, unlock the ancient seals on the Dewprism, and gain whatever in the world they wish.
Todd Masinger: quiet, shy, antisocial, and has problems with expressing his true feelings, the only thing Todd feels he's good at is karate, and when he finally gets the chance to travel to Japan and learn more about his favorite sport, he discovers the legend of the Dewprism. Then he meets pretty Serenity, and gets an instant crush. His wish - for his overwhelming shyness to disappear.
Serenity Varnell: A borderline genius, Serenity excells in almost every subject there is-except math. A dreamer who's interested in astrology, paranormal and fortune telling. She wants to write manga (Japanese comics) and gets the chance of a lifetime when her super-rich cousin buys her a one way ticket to The Land of the Rising Sun. Her wish- to have a chance to become a world famous author, despite her young age.
Patricia Jacobsen: Patricia is a huge airhead, a typical popular girl obsessed with clothes, shopping, and boys. She'll only like what's cool, doesn't want to get dirty or play sports, and very materialistic. Her parents, worried about her narrow-mindedness, send her to Japan so she can try and learn about different cultures. What she thinks will be a major snooze-fest turns into a perfect vacation when she discovers the Dewprism. Her wish- to become a movie star and have guys falling all over her, unfortunately.
Vince Parker: Vince Parker was a typical teenage guy. An only child, but he had a family that cared about him. Good at soccer, a fan of rock music, and a gift for sketching. But then his life changed, in December, not long after our story starts, when he started getting in trouble at school with a bully. His parents were called in for a conference with his principal. It was a dark night, and ice coated the roads. Vince's parent's were killed that night when their car skidded off the street into the roadrails. Since then, Vince blames himself for their death, since if he hadn't been causing trouble in school, his parents would never have died. Their deathes devastated him. He had no other relatives who could take care of him, so he was sent to an aging aunt in-surprise, surprise- Japan. His wish- to bring his parents back to life.
Now these four teens will meet by fate, and work together to find the Dewprism. But who will find it first?
Chapter 1: Toronto, Ontario
"Take a step off your soap box and see, what's it's like on the ground, check your ego in detox maybe, cause you'll be coming around and it's killing me Everyone complains about you, they don't even know what I've been through, I don't have the pain to doubt you, I just wanna throw you to the crowd ask them if you want, I'll tell you what they say-"
Then it was silent, and the blast of rock music in Serenity's ear ended.
"Aw, mom, whatcha do that for?" she asked, pulling her headphones off and setting them on the desk.
"I've been calling your name for the last five minetes, Sere." Emily Varnell was a tall, attractive woman with shoulder length brown hair, her daughter's amazing grayish blue eyes, and a wide smile. Serenity could tell she'd been working on an article, because her wire-rimmed glasses were perched on her small, tanned nose. "Aunt Maryanne called, she wants you to come over and babysit Kyle while she goes out to the store."
"Can't she just ask David? Or hire a babysitter? It's not like they don't have the money." Serenity grumbled. She didn't want to babysit her bratty cousin Kyle. He was almost nine, and, ever since he started fourth grade, had been acting like a total know-it-all. And he was spoiled. Her Aunt Maryanne, Uncle Jeremy, and their two kids David, who was fifteen, Maryanne's age, and Kyle, were loaded. Filthy rich. And although they weren't snobs about it, that didn't stop Uncle Jeremy, and, especially, Aunt Maryanne, from giving their children everything they wanted.
