Setting: Teenager Keiichi, about 15, sitting in school…
"Aw man, I don't want to go to the school dance, I'd have to ask someone out and I don't really know
anyone good enough to do that." Keiichi sits in math class anxiously awaiting the bell to ring, his pen
keeps drawing pictures of the moped he saw a kid ride to school. He hasn't had his growth spurt yet
and is smaller than his classmates. To make things worse, all the girls are taller than him, which makes
it harder to talk to them.
-Rinnnggg- The last bell of the day and Keiichi walks out of his building and waits for Megumi so they
can go home. Megumi's home room is in the building next to his, so it takes just a minute for her to walk over.
"Hi big brother! Have you heard about the dance coming up? Who are you going to ask to it?" Megumi
was going, and hoping the brown-haired boy that sits next to her would ask her to meet there.
"Well, uh, I was thinking of not going. I don't really think I can get someone to go with me, at least noone real."
"Still dreaming about angels? Really, I thought you'd out grow that by now. At least you can make your socks match!"
"Megumi! You can walk home alone if you're going to tease me like that. I haven't done that since
before, before…"
"The angels? Man, I think you are losing it. Get out of your head and get real. Go ask someone out."
Keiichi and Megumi stroll home and go into their rooms and drop their school bags. Keiichi sits down at
his desk and sighs. He pulls out his books out to do boring homework as Megumi runs down the hall to watch tv.
A couple hours later, still engrossed in homework, Mr. Morisato had come home from work and walks
by Keiichi's room and pauses. Peeking in, he calls over to Keiichi. "I heard your school is having a dance
from Megumi. Are you planning on going?"
"Not really dad, I don't know any girls enough to ask them out. I was going to stay home."
"Well son, I don't think that will get you to know anyone better by staying home. I want you to go. Plus,
Megumi will be there and you can keep an eye on her, you know, be her protective big brother."
Keiichi rolls his eyes, "ok dad, but I don't want to stay too long."
"When is it? This weekend?"
"Yeah, Friday evening, 6-9."
"Ok, give me a call when you're done & I'll pick you up."
"Ok dad."
Megumi overheard this conversation and though "Aw man! A chaperone! I'm 13, my friends probably won't
have chaperones!"
..Friday at the Dance…
Keiichi sits off to the side, Megumi is talking to some boy that looks about her age although he really seems
to be interested in someone else on the dance floor. Keiichi silently sighs to himself, watching his classmates
meet people and talk while he sits off on the sidelines. He hears Megumi raise her voice about something
then she gets up and comes over to sit by him.
"Stupid guys, they are stupid!"
Keiichi clears his throat and attempts a big brother response, "Well, at 13 they're not thinking girls yet silly,
just because girls mature sooner doesn't mean you can expect boys to do the same."
"Yeah, you're right, I just wanna be with my friends, I'm going to go over and see how they're doing."
"Ok, be back in a little bit though, we have to call dad soon."
"Ok see ya. Try to at least talk to someone before we go? You haven't done that all night."
"Maybe, " Keiichi thought if it weren't for his responsibilities as a 'big brother' he would've split a
long time ago. He finishes off his soda and gets up for a refill.
-Pang- went his heart when he stood. A girl with chestnut brown hair was standing on the floor, looking at him.
Keiichi looks over his shoulder to see who she's looking for, then he turns back to her but she's gone.
"Must be looking for someone, she looked familiar, I wonder which class she's in" he thinks and heads
over to the soda table. He refills his cup and turns back around, she's still gone; but a familiar feeling in
his heart returns, the feeling he gets...
...like when he dreams...
...about angels...
Bell looks down from her terminal as glowing tears flow to the floor far below. The scene on her terminal
shows a black haired teenage boy looking depressed at a dance, making a call on his cell phone. "I was so
close…but I can't stop thinking of him after all these years, why can't I be with him again Lord?"
Bell managed to see him for a moment on her way back to heaven after granting a wish. The wish recipient
was in Japan, and she thought she could see Keiichi without getting in trouble since he was "on the way" home.
However, Yggdrasil brought her back automatically right after she stopped at the dance. "I thought he saw me
in that moment. Please Father, let him remember…and allow a goddess' wish to be with him again soon. Don't
let that feeling he carries in his heart be forgotten."
Bell hits a key on her terminal and the picture of Keiichi and Megumi leaving the dance changes to a
screensaver of dolphins swimming by. Her heart tumbles as she leaves her terminal and floats out into
the gardens outside Yggdrasil.
