How did it all began? It began at Sarah's high school in America, Heaven Light High School. The girls were raising money for their band, and for a trip to Europe. What was going on was the four girls were assigned to do a project based on present Europian civillization, and they thought that if they could go to Europe, they would get the best information there. So they decided to raise money by performing at concerts and schools. All in all they had raised fifty thousand dollars, more than enough for tickets to Europe and to help their band out.
Exactly a week ago, the girls were on a plane heading to Europe. That's when their adventure began. As Sarah starred out the window next to her, Yuji, sitting next to her, began scrummaging through her backpack. She pulled out a cd player and headphones, and drowned herself in their own music. Their band had two names, the Black Roses, which was also their beyblade team name, and the Dark Diamonds, which was completely Yuji's idea.
But deep down, Sarah didn't care about fame and fortune, she just wanted to escape the life she had. It was a life of drama and trouble. Her parents had been in divorce twice, she had to go through a life with a stepdad, knowing her mother had found happiness and love in her life, but her father had to try several times to find love and happiness, and every time he did, there would be problems leading his life down. Sarah had to live through so much mental abuse and people in her life, it was difficult. She also had many boyfriends in her life, but none of them were true. Just once, Sarah wished that both her and her father could find happiness in their lives. She wanted to find love, and she wanted her father to find happiness.
"Sarah, what's wrong?" asked a voice. Sarah looked up in front of her. Tiffany and Ines were looking at her from over the back of their seats.
"Nothing," Sarah lied with a smile.
Soon the plane landed, the girls got their luggage and soon were on the streets looking for a hotel. Suddenly, Sarah noticed that it would be better for their school projects if they split up and went to different parts of Europe. They all agreed, and soon split up. Ines went to Scottland, Tiffany went to Italy, Yuji went to France, and Sarah stayed in England.
"Now, where can I find a hotel?" Sarah wondered, looking around. She was near Big Ben, wondering where the nearest hotel was. It had been a few hours when the girls broke up. She had been sightseeing, and she bet the others were too. She suddenly began walking down the street, and passed an ally when someone pounced on her, covering her mouth and dragging her down the ally. Her screams were muffled as the stranger pulled her away.
"Oh, wow!" Yuji cried, starring down at the land below, the city of Paris, France. She had always wondered what it looked like all the way at the top of the Ifle Tower, and it was breath taking.
"Amazing, isn't it?" asked a boy next to her with spring green hair and majestic blue eyes. He wore a pilot's hat and for a moment Yuji mistakened him for a girl. The boy looked at her with a gentle smile. "You knew to France?"
"Uh, yeah," she said. "I'm Yuji."
"Oliver. You know, I know a couple of excellent restuarants right below here. You want to go to a luncheon with me?" he asked.
"Um, sure, yeah, that sounds totally cool," Yuji said. She followed him to the elevator and together the exit the Ifle Tower and headed toward a restaurant.
Tiffany looked around and smiled at where she was. Rome, Italy, the place of Romans, the place of the Falling Tower of Pica. Speaking of pizza, she was hungry. As she walked down the street, passing by the tower, she walked into a restaurant. But inside it was chaos. Waiter and chefs were passing by her recklessly, and there was a crowd around a table of waiters and chefs. Tiffany pushed her way through to the table to see that it was of a blonde boy and two girls sitting at it, no one else. Tiffany then noticed that the whole restaurant was empty but them.
"Hey!" Tiffany yelled as a waiter grabbed the collar of her shirt.
"I'm sorry, madam, but you must leave. The whole restaurant is booked," the waiter said, and Tiffany began struggling against him. The boy noticed this and spoke up.
"Hey, let her go, she can join us," he said. "After all, she is very pretty."
Tiffany blushed and glared at him. "Oh, you're so kind, because I'm sure your girlfriends would care. Besides, I'm not into blondies," she said.
"Then you're nothing but a nobody," he said.
"A nobod! I belong to a band! The Dark Diamonds!" Tiffany yelled.
"Never heard of them. And if I never heard of them, then you're a nobody," the boy said.
Tiffany glared, and she reached over and her hand struck the boy across the face hard and fiercly, leaving a large red mark on the whole side of his face. She then decided to walk out of the restaurant. She passed by an ally when somebody grabbed her from behind, muffling her scream with their hand, and pulled her into the alley.
I'm so cold, so numb. What's wrong with me? Ines thought, her knees shaing under. She had been in Scottland for only a few hours, hadn't found a hotel to stay in, and was freezing. Suddenly, she felt a hand grab her from around the waist, and another hand grabbed her over the mouth. She was so cold, she could fight them off, and they dragged her into a dark alley where she was beaten and mugged.
