"Why can't my life be like that?" Sighed Risa Harada.

She was a lovely sixteen year old girl with long strands of brown hair, and skin of pure white. The long finger nails on her hand were normally painted with clear nail polish or glittery sparkled ones, but lately its been painted yellow or lavender or maybe faint pink, which her twin sister found unusual.

"Because your so wrapped up in those girly books that you don't have time to find a real life."

Risa instantly shuttered to the voice coming from behind her and turned around annoyed, "Riku! Don't you ever knock?"

The girl standing before Risa was a tall, slim, and a beautiful young lady of the age of sixteen. Her hair was short but also the color of dark amber which shined as she walked through the room towards the couch where her sister laid reading a book.

Both thier facial features were almost identically alike, but if someone were to take a closer look and examine them for a long time, they'll be able to see the differences. The fact that Risa's cheeks naturally gleamed pink was easily misunderstood as make-up and Riku had large eyes that shimmered like pools of the spring rain, which was often mistaken for contact lense. Each sister had a special quality the other didn't possess, which made them both original and radiant maidens.

"I did knock you idiot, but you were too dazed in one of your day dreams to hear me." Riku snapped as she took a closer look at her younger sister.

Risa was wearing a thin gown the tint of yellow with a pattern with which ribbons were tied into small dilicate bows all around the top, these fancy type of clothes always looked good on the innocent Risa, but for Riku it was a bit different.

"What's wrong with day dreaming every once in awhile, huh?" Risa asked glancing from the window behind her then back at Riku.

Riku wore a tank-top of a bright flourishing green and a mini-skirt of a ashen plaid design, more casual looking clothes suited Riku alot more.

"Oh, nothing. It just makes you look like a complete ditzy freak." Riku grinned, she loved teasing her younger sister like this.

"Riku, your just jealous because you don't have enough feminine in you to do something like I can."

Riku was about to shout something back but Risa's finger nail polish caught her attention, "Risa, what's up with the lavender nail polish?"

Risa quickly jumped in surprise and hid her fingers underneath the small blanket, "Wha-What are you talking about?"

"Oh please, like you could hide it from me! You change it everyday now, and it's always the same three colors!"

Risa stuck out her tongue at her big sister, "Like you could prove it, you meanie!"

Riku was so annoyed and was about to snap, but luckily she took a deep breath which calmed her down a little, "It's been pink, lavender, and yellow every three days!"

Risa automatically frowned like she always did when she was beaten by Riku, her eyes glued to the floor or whatever it was beneath her. Riku never liked it when she did this so she sighed and took a seat next to her saddened sibling, "Okay, tell me whats up. Seriously."

"Well, I'm reading this great book called, 'Dying Ember' and it's about love and all that stuff. And there's a part in the book where they start talking about this legend!" Riku was never interested into love stories like her sister was, but for once her eyes widened as her sister spoke, "It says that if your in love with someone or if you have a a goal you'd like to achieve then you should express your feelings using body parts!"

Riku suddenly gave her a weird look, "WHAT?"

Risa stuttered, "N-NO, that's not what I meant! Well here let me use myself as an example, you know how colors have special meanings? Well, if I were to paint my feelings using nail polish on my fingers; which is a body part, then it'll work just like in the book!"

Riku glared at Risa, "That's one of the most stupidest things I've heard yet! I'm adding it to the book of dumb things my sister says!"

Just as Riku was about to get up and storm off to her own room Risa said, "But in the book the heroine used colored ink to paint beautiful markings on her hands and arms! And after drawing the designs over and over again with blue ink her one true wish was granted."

Riku put her hand against the door and turned around wide eyed again, "What was her wish?"

Risa put both her hands against her chest and closed her eyes which made her long eyelashes brush against her pink cheeks, "To die for the one she loved the most." Risa smilied and looked back up to her sister, "But, I suppose it is a little childish to believe in such things."

Riku walked back to Risa and sat down again, "Do you have something you want to wish for?" Riku blushed as she had realized that she was interested into these so called "childish" things.

Risa smilied, "Yes, in fact there are a couple of things I'm hoping for."

"Do you think you could tell me what they are?"

Risa shook her head and pointed out her index finger and placed them against her lips, "It wouldn't come true if I told someone."

Riku smiled, "Yeah, I guess it wouldn't. But at least tell me what the colors mean. Please?"

Laughter took control of Risa, "Oh, I'm sorry. It's just I never thought I'd live to see the day when you would be interested in these sort of things."

"I see how it is now, fine don't tell me! And go on and make fun of me, shesh!" Riku was about to stand back up but Risa grabbed her arm and pulled her back down.

"I said I'm sorry okay?"

Riku sat there looking at her and then sighed, "Fine, go on."

"Hm, where should I start? Well, pink means love obviously and white means true so if you put it together you get light pink meaning true love. And yellow means joyous, so if you put that together it's like asking for a happy time. And then there's lavender! It's my favorite one because it means sweet and kind natured-"

Risa stopped abruptly and cleared her throat, "I'll leave that one a mystery."

"Wow,"

"Wow, what Riku?" Risa asked peering closer to her sister.

Riku blinked for awhile and smiled, "It's so cute."

"You-You think so too?" Risa squealed in delight, "This is a first!"

Riku blushed, "Yeah, um hey Risa do you think I could borrow that book sometime?"

"Oh, sure I'm done with it anyway." Risa smiled and handed the book over to her sister, "I hope you like it sis."

"Thanks." Riku smiled and got up and started walking towards the door, "Good night."

Risa sighed as the sound of the door being closed was heard, "I'm so happy, finally my little tomboy sister is finding some interest in the things I've loved all my life."

She turned and looked out the window again, they lived on top of a hill in a mansion so the view beneath was all ocean and city sparkling below. She placed her head softly against the cooled glass and closed her eyes, "Someday, someday soon..."

Meanwhile Riku is found in her own room laying in her bed reading the book she had just got from her sister. Riku was always known as the accelerated reader in her school since elementary to high school, so it was no wonder she was already half way done with the book, "Wow, this stuff isn't that bad afterall."

She looked outside of her window and saw the lights of the city dancing below, twinkling and winking at her as she fell asleep. And the last thought that ran through her mind was, "Maybe someday, someday soon... I'll fall in love..."
