Chapter 1

"Chihiro! Get out of bed! You're going to be late for school!"yelled her father.

"Coming..."she said as she slowly got out of bed. She looked at her alarm clock. It read 6:30a.m. "You've got to be kidding me,"she whispered. "I don't need to get up for another 30 minutes."

"Hurry up Chihiro!"said her mom as she passed Chihiro's room.

"All right! Ok! Ok! I'm getting up now!"Chihiro said as she hopped out of bed and started getting dressed. Sheesh,she thought. What is up with them? I don't need to be at school until 8:00.

As she got ready Chihiro couldn't help but think about what had happened a year ago. She really missed Haku,and still wondered if it really had just been a dream. Haku was now a river again. She missed him,but she knew that she couldn't go back to a year ago.

I hope you're doing ok Haku,she thought. I really do miss you. Are you happy being a river again? Are you happy that you can remember your name now? I just wish that I could see you one last time...
