It has been six years since Mariah had left China. She and Ray were keeping touch but
as the days, months, years passed they would write, talk and visit less. They had
only visit each other twice, phoned each other a twelve times and wrote each other
twenty two times.

Mariah was now in University. Her hair wasn't pink anymore she died it a dark red
colour. She thought that she wasn't young enough to have pink hair anymore but her
hair colour went well with her skin tone and eye colour. She had her own apartment
well it wasn't her own she had a roommate living with her, her best friend Isabelle
Santenya.

p*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ FLASH BACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was Mariah's first day of school in England {A/N: By the way this is the ninth grade}.
Mariah walked to her new class but she was a bit lost but she found her way.

The teacher greeted her and brought her to the front of the class beside another girl.

"Today class we have two new students, there both from out of the country, isn't that a
coincidence!" said the teacher happily. Mariah and the other girl both got sweatdrops
{A/N: You know those things that look like a teardrop and they're usually beside or
behind the characters head.}

"Let's welcome both our new students Mariah and Isabelle!" said the teacher and
everyone said an unenthusiastic 'Hi'

The teacher placed Mariah and Isabelle beside each other. They both started talking
to each other and they seemed to have a lot in common. The teacher began
teaching and Mariah and Isabelle continued talking to each other but they whispered.

"Girls please stop talking!" snapped the teacher.

Both the girls nodded. They stopped talking but they wrote notes to each other.

p*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* END OF FLASH BACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Now that Mariah thought of it, it was a coincidence that they both were from out of
the country but not from the same of course Mariah came form China but Isabelle
came from Chile {A/N: I thought I'd use that country since it rarely is used in anything
^_^} and they both were seated beside each other. But Mariah was grateful for it.

They were now the best of friends and had been since they first met.
They were always there for each other. They even had met each other entire family
(they would go to each other's family reunions). They also had the same job!
But there was a friend Mariah still missed allot ... Ray.

"Mariah we need to go to work or we'll be late," said Isabelle coming out if her room
with a uniform on (the uniform is a black skirt seven inches above the knee and a white
blouse).

"I was waiting for you like always," said Mariah with a smile.

Isabelle noticed that Mariah did have her uniform on.

"Your always ready for everything," said Isabelle with a smile.

Mariah and Isabelle took the bus to their job. They wasn't a lawyer or anything like that,
they hadn't even graduated from university ... yet. They both worked at a restaurant as
waitresses and the money they got was actually enough to pay their bills and to buy
stuff for themselves, well the restaurant did get allot of money because it was a
popular one. Allot of people would come everyday.

p*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* RAY *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ray was in England for university but it he was also anxious if we would meet a
certain pink haired. As weird as it seemed Tyson and Max also were going to university
in England.

Tyson was working to be a lawyer. Max and Ray had their laughs but they both
supported Tyson and were happy for him that he was excepted in a law school.

Max wanted to be a fighter for human rights. He wanted to join Greenpeace. He knew
he wouldn't get money for it but he really wanted to help make a difference. He was
also they're for a University to become a journalist for a newspaper.

And Ray wanted to be a doctor he knew it would be allot of work but he had to, well
he didn't have to but he really wanted to because his mother had died from cancer.
Which influenced him to becoming a doctor he wanted to go to a medical school in
England because he wanted to live there but also hoped to find a certain girl well now
she would be a woman.

Ray really found it weird that Tyson and Max also had university's in England it reminded
him how Mariah was saying how she and her friend Isabelle met.

"Hey I'm hungry do you guys wanna eat somewhere?" asked Max.

"Sure!" said Ray he was hungry also.

"I can't I need to head back to our apartment to work See you both later," said Tyson
as he began walking to the nearest bus stop.

"Usually he's the one who always wants to eat," said Max with a sweatdrop on his
head.

"Law school really has changed him," said Ray also with a sweatdrop on his head.

"Anyways! Why don't we eat there?" said Max pointing at the only restaurant nearby.
The restaurant was called JL Kav.

"Sure ... it's a pretty weird name though," said Ray.

"It doesn't matter, there's food!" said Max running to the restaurant.

"And Max is being like Tyson," said Ray with a sigh as he ran after his friend.

They both entered the restaurant and there was a man around the age of sixteen he
wore a nametag, which said 'NICK'.

Nick led them to their seats and gave them both menus. He then walked into some
where near the kitchen.

p*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* MARIAH AND ISABELLE *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Mariah and Isabelle were beside the kitchen doors waiting for Nick to assign them their
table unit.

Then Nick came. "Mariah table 15 for you," said Nick. Mariah nodded she walked
out and noticed it was Ray and Max! She walked back.

"Isa {A/N: Isa is a nickname Mariah calls Isabelle but it's pronounced as Ee-sa}
you have no clue WHO I just saw!" said Mariah with her eyes wide open.

"Who is it!" said Isabelle eagerly thinking it was a celebrity.

"It's Ray the guy I talked to you about!" said Mariah.

"Then if it's him go back! Talk to him!" said Isabelle pushing Mariah to the exit, which
would lead to the tables.

"No you go!" said Mariah pushing her back.

"It's your table!" said Isabelle pushing her back.

"Just do it!" said Mariah pushing Isabelle out the door. Both Max and Ray looked at
her.

'I'm gonna get her for this!' vowed Isabelle in her mind. Isabelle walked her way to the
table where Max and Ray sat. She knew who Ray was but she didn't know who the
other guy was.

"Hello I'm Isabelle and I'll be your waitress for this afternoon," said Isabelle with a
smile.

Both of the men nodded.

"Is there any beverage I could get you both?" asked Isabelle.

"I'll take a Pepsi," said Ray. Isabelle nodded and wrote it down in her notebook.

Isabelle looked over to Max for his order and she noticed he was looking at her.

"Excuse me sir but is there anything you want to drink?" asked Isabelle politely.

Max snapped back to earth and blushed. "Uh I'll have water," said Max.

Isabelle nodded. "I'll be back in a minute," replied Isabelle as she walked to the doors
she laughed quietly a bit at Max, this sort of thing happened allot to her Mariah would always
laugh along with her the same thing would also happen to Mariah at times.

Isabelle opened the doors and say Mariah giggling. "You saw?" asked Isabelle.

"Yeah what else is there to watch?" asked Mariah still laughing.

"You I wonder why this type of stuff makes us laugh so much?" asked Isabelle while
finishing pouring Pepsi into a glass.

"I don't know it just does?" said Mariah helping Isabelle by pouring water into another
glass.

"You know you're a big chicken! Too scared to face a friend!" said Isabelle changing the
subject.

"I know I know!" said Mariah with a sigh.

"Good," said Isabelle with a smile as she placed both glasses on a tray and walked out
doors. She walked to Ray and Max's table and she placed their drinks infront of them
and smiled. Isabelle caught Max looking at her again she smiled at him which made
him blush.

"Can I take both your orders?" asked Isabelle. They both nodded and told her what
they wanted to eat. When she was about to walk away the blond man said, "Wait!"

Isabelle turned around. He looked really nervous. "Would you like to join at a dance
club tonight?" asked the blond haired man sounding now confident.

This was the first anyone had ever asked Isabelle while working to be honest she really
didn't have feeling for the stranger but she came up with an idea.

"Sure! ... but on one condition," said Isabelle. "He comes, I have a friend
who would be perfect for him!" said Isabelle with a smile.

"No thank you I'm not to fond of blind dates," said Ray.

"Then think of this as not a blind date, please if you don't like the date then I'll pay you
any amount of money, and this meal will be free!" said Isabelle.

"Fine," said Ray in agreement. Isabelle had a smile on her face. "Great!" said Isabelle
as she wrote Mariah and her address (she didn't write Mariah's name on it though) and
number on the note pad and gave it to Max. She smiled sweetly and walked away.

She walked to Mariah. "Hey Mariah we got dates tonight!" squealed Isabelle happily.

"What!" said Mariah in shock.
