"Chihiro Ogino!"

The crowd cheered as she stepped up to retrieve her new license.

"Congratulations!" Chihiro was presented by her teacher her own driving license. She was overwhelmed that she had made it. She was always afraid of driving, but now, it was all hers.

"I can't believe you did it!" Kaki said, as she and Chihiro walked out of the showroom. She was just jealous of Chihiro because she didn't pass her driving test. Chihiro blushed.

"I can't believe I made it either!" she yelled, amazed.

"So when are you going out for a ride?" Kaki asked.

"Umm...maybe tomorrow," Chihiro replied. "You wanna come?"

"Sure! I would be happy to!" Kaki answered, she was as happy as ever. "So, are you going to ask anyone else?"

"Nope, just you and me," Chihiro said. This was her chance to finally 'hit the road.' Chihiro was as excited as ever. "Meet me at 7:00 tomorrow evening, ok?"

"You got it, Girl!" Kaki said. "Well, I'll see you in a while." She headed for the other direction and out the west doors.

"Sayonara!" Chihiro shouted after her. She started walking to the south doors and tucked her new license in her pocket. She dropped a small card as she was going through her crammed pocket. Chihiro picked it up.

It was the card her best friend Rumi had given her as a good-bye present, six years ago, along with a bouquet of flowers that are surprisingly still well and alive, sitting at home. She took this card everywhere she went. She knew the punishment if one forgets their name. She didn't want it to happen again.

Unless, to see her true love again. She would do anything to get him back, but no one knew who he was in the Human World. No one...

"Mother," Chihiro said. She approached the dinner table to where her mom was sitting, reading the newspaper and eating dinner at the same time.

"Yes, Chihiro?" she asked as she looked up at her. She was always responding in a nice way and caring for Chihiro a lot more often than when she was little.

"Can I take the car out tomorrow?" Chihiro asked with a smile on her face. Suddenly, her mom looked up. She dropped her chopsticks and newspaper and leaped into Chihiro's arms.

"You made it?! You can drive now?!" She cried happily as she squeezed her even tighter. She struggled a bit because Chihiro grew a bit taller than her from the past few years.

"Yeah I made it, and I was wondering if I can take our car out for a drive?" she asked again.

"Oh, certainly! I'll come with you!" she answered in a hurried voice as she let go.

"No, it's ok Mother. Kaki and I are going out tomorrow evening at 7:00," Chihiro said in a voice that won't upset her mom. "But don't worry; I'll take you out on Friday night!"

"Oh, ok," Chihiro's mom said. She wasn't upset because she knew that she wanted to give Chihiro the most of the freedom that she can get.

"It's just that, it's going to be so tough to drive for the first time," Chihiro said sadly. She started to look down and frown.

"Oh, don't worry Honey," she said as she forced Chihiro to look up. "This reminds me of when your father first learned how to drive. Come, take a seat."

"What happened?" Chihiro asked as they both sat down.

"Well," she said as she started explaining. "When your father first went on the street, I went along with him so that he won't be as lonely. He had trouble at first, despising that it was a soggy night. So we went in the apartment parking lot. He got better and better eventually and drove so well that we, including you, went out every single night for dinner by the car."

"Until then...," Chihiro continued.

"Yes, he had to take advantage of his abilities to work one morning and ended up..."

"Dead," Chihiro ended. Teardrops fell out of their eyes.

Well, that's the first part of the story. Hope you all look forward to the next parts.
