In London, England........ "Oh?" a soft voice echoed in the large, luxurious, yet empty room. "How nice.....Celina's invited me." she murmured softly, staring at the gold embossed invitation. "Only because of Parker...." remembering her dark-haired cousin, who was unable to stay serious for more than a moment, she smiled. Celina doesn't like me, she thought, putting her hair up in it's customary bun. Her inner voice chided, Celina doesn't like anyone, for that matter. But she knew she had to go to Celina's party, Parker would be hurt, her blue eyes showing clear frustation. "Of all the people in Italy, he had to go and be friends with the most stuck up, ice princess there like ever was." she angrily muttered, pulling on her ankle boots. Well, at least i look great, staring at her reflection. She wore a red v-necked top and a pair of dark jeans. Well, at least i'll have a opportunity to dance, smiling once again. "Maybe it won't be so bad..." she said hopefully.

In Crete, Greece...... "Toni!" a voice yelled at the sleeping form, of Toni Hikaru LaVelle. "What?" she stirred, putting on her designer black framed glasses. "We've got an invitation to Celina DeLuca's party, you remember her don't you? Her father was a friend of your fathers." her mother gushed happily. Toni resisted the desire to say 'So what' and instead asked "Um, that's great. When is it?" Her mother beamed at her and replied "In two days time." Toni felt a part of her, smile too. Her mother never noticed her, yet here she was beaming at her. She almost felt grateful to Celina, if it wasn't a fact that Celina was well......a ice princess. But, she had been in the same school as her brother...... Her brother. He had died two years ago in a plane crash. Her parents had never really recovered from his death. He was almost regarded as saint in her house. Her brother had been perfect. He had such a high IQ, he had been accepted in a prestigious Italian school. He would of been in college now, now doubt Oxford or Harvard.....if he wasn't.......dead. Her mother was probably happy, because Celina had been......almost friends with her brother. Her mother smiled and said "Dear, we must go buy you a dress." Toni almost had a seizure. Her mother wanted to spend time with her? She was unable to speak. Her mother hurried out of the room. "Thanks, Celina." she whispered softly, smiling, as she put on her red stappy shirt, with a picture of a white dog with a black spiky collar and a black patch over one eye saying 'Born to be Bad', a pair of navy 3/4 length trousers, navy Velcro sandals and a white plastic fang hanging from a black lace necklace. "Thanks."

In Kyoto, Mikawatsu Mansion...... "WHAT!" a angry voice screamed, disturbing the silence in the old mansion. "Mr Mikawatsu?!?" the young woman named Shura, screamed again, her blood red eyes flashing with rage. Her father was gone, yet some person was sending her his mail? The man, who had ruined her life....why did he keep coming back into her life? The huge mansion was a constant reminder of him.....what he did to her mother.....what he did to her...... Who was the idoitic person who was writing to her father? Most of his 'associates' knew he was on the run.....most of them were on the run too. Calming down, she stared curiously at the letter. She opened the letter, reading the opening words of the gold embossed card thet dropped out. "Celina DeLuca? DeLuca......DeLuca?" she thought, trying hard to remember who she was. "Shit! DeLuca.......he's the guy who got my father caught up in this organised crime business." she remember furiously, the handsome blonde haired man who had come into her life, before she was even living it. He was the one who had brought her mother to her father. Her mother.......had been a prostitute. DeLuca had bought her as a gift for her father. DeLuca.....he showed up at their house many times after that. Despite the fact he had ruined her father's life......she had to admit DeLuca was charming, if not anything else. Another light dawned in her eyes, her father had been extremely upset one day.......he had beaten her so bad......she still had the scars......he had said......."DeLuca is dead......my life is over......" Her father had worshipped Raphael DeLuca.....his death had hit him hard. Over the next nine years, he did very little other than abuse Shura. He had run away, when the Japanese police had come....... "I've got to go see his DeLuca's daughter.......she might know more about my father's past and perhaps she knows where the asshole is." she finished savagely. "Father, i'm gonna kill you....you just watch out!" she called, her black blouse and blue skirt billowing and her red hair whipping over her face, as she stepped into the cool, windy courtyard.

New York, USA....... "Wow!" a blonde haired boy spoke. "Kai.....he's e-mailed me......after three years, the sourpuss replies." the blonde called Max, thought remembering his ex-team captain. He began to read the e-mail. "Whoah!" Max exclaimed in shock, staring at what Kai ahd written 'I am going to (being forced more like it...' Max smiled thinking of the frown which would have creased Kai's face as he wrote this, 'to find a fiancee!" Kai! Kai with a fiancee. Of all his teammates, Kai would have been the last person on his "Most Likely To Marry First" list. He continued to read the e- mail, while putting on his clothes. Max had changed quite alot, his build was now almost perfect, he was 5ft 11in and his cute face had grown, somehow to be even cuter. He pulled a green shirt, and his orange cargo pants.......alot had changed but Max's favourite colours had not. "Amazing, he wants me to come over to Moscow?" Max had loved Moscow when he had visited it in the World Championships....... "Alright! Man, am i gonna have fun or what?" he smiled and rushed out the door to pick up his tickets. "Yeah!" he yelled. "Moscow!"

Milan, Mesire Mansion...... "Celina!" a haughty voice called, disturbing the raven-haired girl sitting on the window seat. The girl called Celina looked up, her ice blue eyes filled with confusion. A pretty, blonde haired girl, walked into the fire- lit room. "There you are." the blonde named Lia continued, wrinkling her lightly freckled nose in distaste, the less time spent with her perfect cousin, the better. "Now, your birthday plans.....naturally i've invited all my friends.....anyone you'd like to invite?" Lia asked, not out of politeness, but wondering who else she could humilate Celina in front of. Knowing her cousin, Lia knew Celina would invite no-one. Celina was popular, but she couldn't care less about anyone else. Guys liked her, girls envied her, but Celina just glided past them, oblivious to anyone but herself. "Yes. One person." Celina stared into her cousin's envy-filled green eyes, she knew what Lia was doing......this party was for Lia......a platform to push Celina down even further. Lia almost choked, but asked her carefully, "Who?" "Parker Myles." Celina almost smirked, but knew she would be dead if she did. Lia was not going to be happy, she had liked Parker, but he had turned her down. "Fine." with her mouth drawn into a grim line, Lia soared out of the room. Celina almost laughed but, a shadow had fallen over the doorway. "Lina." a voice spoke, sending a chill down her spine. Her eyes widened in fear as she saw who it was.......
