Where should I begin? This story is certainly a crazy one. I suppose it all started on the class trip….
I was walking down the street back to the streetcar.
"I think they ripped me off," I said to my friend Ai.
"I know they ripped you off," she replied.
I laughed and looked at my red stone. "They gave me a stone with an inscription. The lady told me to wait and read it aloud with you when I get home.
I grinned dramatically.
"Ok…shouldn't do any harm," replied Ai.
"Why didn't you tell me about this!" Rei exclaimed. "I wanted one!"
"Hey! Give it back!" I yelled, equally loud.
"Both of you—shut up!" retorted Ai, grabbing the box out of Rei's hands and placing it in mine, and taking the bag of popcorn out of my hands and handing it to Rei.
"Thank you," both me and Rei said simultaneously.
"What did you say?" I glared at her.
"What did you say?" Rei retorted. "Whatever, I still got a Celtic birth charm, so I'm happy."
"Unbelievable," I muttered, lying down next to Maia.
"I've got next shower," Maia said softly, taking out her pajamas.
"Maia!" I said. "You…today you went shopping with Rei and…well, we missed you!"
She smiled. "It's okay, I wanted to look at dishes, and you wanted to look at jewelry."
"So…we're cool?" I questioned.
"Yeah," she said, and headed for the bathroom.
Ai was lying in bed with her headphones on, and Rei was already asleep.
July 24, 2009
I was crouching on the floor with the red stone in my hands, feeling like my hands were burning and being yanked down to the ground, but I couldn't release the red stone. "Maia! What did I just do?"
Maia shielded her eyes from the bright light. "I-I don't know! Are you alright?"
Suddenly all the light went away, including all the electricity, and I released the stone and it rolled unnoticed under the nightstand. I then attempted to stand, but fell, and Maia grabbed me and dragged me to the bed and laid me down.
"This…can't be happening…" she said softly.
Lightning flashed outside, and it started to rain. Maia went to the window, looked out, and gasped.
"Kuri," she said, shock in her voice. "C-Come look at this…"
Daisuke Niwa had just woken up sharply. There was a storm outside.
He got out of bed and went to the window. He looked out into the storm, and suddenly saw that the "For Sale" sign on the house across the street was gone.
Did someone move in? he wondered. I thought I saw the sign up this morning…and now it's gone.
If he looked hard enough, he could almost see someone at the window.
I sat up, and staggered to the window. What I saw was picture-copied from DN Angel. It was Azumano, Japan.
I looked back at my room. The same.
"Ugh…I need to lie down," I said, and collapsed back on my bed.
"What are we going to do?" Maia exclaimed. "The entire world changed cuz of that dumb rock!"
"I know! We're in Azumano," I replied.
"What?" Maia asked. "Where's that?"
I yawned, about to pass out. "That's...the world of DN Angel."
Then I fell asleep.
