AN: This is actually a fanfic I'm rather fond of because I like my character so much. Be nice and keep an open mind, cuz I'ma tweak with some major issues in here ....not in a bad way...

Ye Olde Disclaimer: Please Save my Earth tis not mine...nor is Escaflowne. Ayame however is. So no touchies you fiends, you.

To Dream (Yume wo Miru Koto)

Kobayashi Ayame is your average girl, at first glance anyway. A lot of people wondered whether she was adopted or not; this was not the case. In fact, if you mentioned that infront of her mother, you'd be most likely to drown in a river of tears. Alice Kobayashi is famous for being a crybaby after all.

Ayame loved Japan. In fact, much like her mother, she loved any place that had plants, gardens or anything that grows. I guess that's where the bit of wierdness comes in.

If you were to try to understand why Ayame seems so odd to people, then you'd have to look where all things begin with a person; their parents. Ayame's mother is 9 years older than her father, that alone is reason enough to make people wonder. Alice would tell her daughter that she was often ridiculed by others because of the age gap, but she would always say to Ayame

"If you like it, then do it. The more you wonder about things, the faster they pass you by. And if you're not careful, your whole life will pass you by. Time waits for no one Aya".

Alice Kobayashi was a Biologist, at least that was her major. Rin, Ayame's father, preferred that Alice stayed home. To let the man take care of things. Ayame saw through that though, she knew her father wanted to prove that he was a worthy supporter even though he was so much younger. Rin Kobayashi was another interesting character. Engineering genius, even at his young age. He was snide, arrogant, and ill-tempered, but put Ayame's mother in the room and he turned to putty.

Normal enough?

Oh yeah, they also happened to be the re-incarnations of an alien race who's remaining survivors died on their moon base several years ago. Can't forget that now can we? Note that this would prove Rin's theory of their exsistance being relevant to Neo-Lamarkism rather than Darwinism, though more often than not he claims it is all sarjilim's will. (AN: ...I don't like Darwinism too much ...sorry to those who do) After all, that's how Ayame's parents met up together. They were reborn again on the very Earth that they watched over from the moon, met, and married. But to tell their story would be to stray from Ayame's, so we'll shorten it.

Being that their reincarnations were ...bluntly put, not humans, Ayame inherited very unique abilities. When Ayame turned 13 the mark of the kiches that Alice has on her forehead appeared. Flowers would start to bloom in winter, animals would follow her to school, all the living organisms resonated to Ayame's very exsistance. Why? Because that is the gift of the Kiches. Mild E.S.P. began to arise when Ayame was 15. She could move things with her mind, block things. She couldn't fly like her father, or anything extravaggant like that, but it was enough for her father to have to teach her to control it.

Ayame is your average girl, at first glance anyway.

Who would have thought it possible, that she could inherit so many odd traits? And then there is the reason that people mistakeher for being adopted. She looks like her mother ...well, her mother's past-life form anyway. Alice herself has accidentally called her 'mokuren' many a time, only to realise that it was her daughter. And yet, she looked so much like mokuren, but with diliberate mistakes. The primary one being that her hair was as black as Alice's. Her eyes, they couldn't explain. For niether Alice nor Mokuren, nor Rin, nor Shion had such brilliant green eyes. Rin passed it off as a coincidence, but it made Alice wonder. There's was no way around it, she looked more American than Japanese.

Ayame too wondered; why wasn't she born to look like her parents on Earth? Why was the only explanation: "It is Sarjilim's will"? How can the will of people who passed away be so strong as to live through her parents? Who were her parents? Alice and Rin Kobayashi? Or Mokuren and Shion?

And why is it that before she can figure this out, Alice, Rin, Mokuren and Shion; everything that she holds dear is taken away from her?

Ayame is your average girl. She's 17, about to graduate from High School, and has been an orphan for the past year.

AN: I know I know, this is more of a prolouge than a first chapter, but I realized that from the summary, not all of you might catch the Please Save my Earth reference. I'm not even sure how many out there KNOW please save my earth.....for shame.

Ok, drop in a review if you have time. I won't be picky, so one review will do the trick to get the next chapter up ok?
