Where am I?
It's like 1970's street, in rainy day. People are running away to dry place, when a young woman opens her white umbrella and walks hurry from backside of an old theatre. Silvered-orange bob hair with feather-like pony, slim body covered by white jacket and yellow skirt, those blue eyes…
Her appearance looks like…Evana Luracby?
Then, A man from the same place chases her, follows the only one person wearing white clothe along black suit crowds. He grabs her hand, but she turns around, trying to release his grasp. They looked each other.
Wait…that stoic face frames with dark hair and green eyes… He looks like Fakir…
They debate something seriously, appears from the woman's gesture and the man's stress face. Until….
"You can't have me, you all can't have me anymore. I'm free. I'm the Queen of Drama!" she yells, making the crowd stop for a minute. Tears run down on her light chocolate face. Her teardrop-like necklace shines red, represent the feeling of her owner.
Just then, she runs away, letting he frowns with deep disappointed face. Unfortunately, I looked up, stare at big black shadow that seems control a puppet with his hand. He grinned to me…
Good Morning! Good Morning! MOORRNIIINGGG!
I shut off my digital alarm. It's a hard day for a girl that watched Super Junior Concert all night long.
I open my eyes slowly, looks to annoyed clock. It is 7.15 A.M…Give me a minute…
What?! It's 7.15?! I'm gonna late!
As fast as light, I take a bath, prepare my school bag, running down the …
Brakk!Brukk!
"Ouch…" I moan. I just slipped from the stairs, head landed first.
"Have a long dream, sweetheart?"the face of green Victorian style haired woman preparing my meal appears from kitchen. My mother.
She walks close to me that tied the shoes and hands me the meal.
"Don't forget the meal. I have taken Uzura a few minutes ago." She smiles, the brightest smile I have ever seen. But…
"Thanks, Mum. And I'm gonna late! See you…!" and then, I run as fast as I can to the school.

What a great day…Strange dream, arrive at school a few seconds before the gate close, Droselmeyyer takes a visit to our choir, and now I'm lonely again in the city park. Fakir didn't come since 2 days ago. Maybe he didn't write again. But…he is a writer, isn't he?
I sit under the same place he used to be. Uzura has been picked up by my mother, an old man who sells the bubble liquid is sick, and the lake is so quite… seems nothing I can do. Even with some couples chatting around the park, I still feel alone. I curl up and think again about Headmaster's private conversation with me.
After Droselmeyyer complimented our choir's performance, one by one of my friends went home. Mr. Cat called me to face the Headmaster, saying that he need something to talk to me. There, at class corridor, we talked, more like interrogation for me.
"You names Ahiru Akibara, if I'm not wrong," he started.
"Yes, Mister." I answered.
"Your piano playing is much entertained. I get the feeling and the beat." He said with that mad grin, a compliment I thought.
"Um..Thank you, Sensei. said that there is something You want to tell?"
"Actually, he is right. I need some answers from you," he answered. I wanted to ask again, but suddenly he came closer, cut my words.
"You know Fakir Heasenberg, aren't you?"
I nodded. So, his family's name is Heasenberg…wait, isn't that Headmaster's name?
"Have you ever met Mytho Kobayashi?" he asked again, his face closed to me. "
I just could nod. "The last, Have they ever talked to you about "The Project"?"
His mad face is a few inches from mine, liked prepare to eat me. I grabbed my blue bag tightly and shook my head.
He stepped back, and walked away from me. "Alright, good answer."
Just then, he disappeared, left me confusing with his questions.
What did he mean? I come back to real world when I realize someone's coming from the back of the tree. I turn around and meet Rue walking towards me with silvered haired boy. He is Mytho. Rue waves her hand to me.
"We are looking for you," she says when they approach me.
"Eh…Really? Are there any trouble I just made?" I ask worriedly.
"No, I just need some help." Mytho answers, sit in front of me. I cock my head.
They…a couple of Most Brilliant Student from Silver and Economic class…need my help?
"Ok, maybe what I'm gonna say seems impossible, but you have to listen." He starts, hesitate on his face.
"Just tell her, Mytho. We have no much time." Rue convinces.
He takes a breath, "First, you must know Evana Luracby…"
"Of course. She is the Queen of Drama, isn't she?" I answer.
"Yes. And you know that the main character in Fakir's writing names Princess Tutu?"
I nod. How I can't know about that? It's a simple question…
"Evana, Princess Tutu and your self, is one person." Rue says suddenly.
"Wait, what?"
"You are the reincarnation of Princess Tutu and Evana, what she was going to say." Mytho continues.
"Ok. Maybe it's getting confuse, appears from your face. I'll tell you a story and you just have to listen. No complain." I nod.
"Long time ago, there was a magical city named like our city, Kinkan. It's exactly not too magical, because it cursed by a writer that want a revenge for the city that "kill" him. He is Dorselmeyyer. He made the city closed and became the place for his story : The Prince and The Raven…"
He takes a breath, "In the story, Prince sacrificed his heart to prison the Raven. He continued his story with change a duck that falling in love with heartless Prince became Princess Tutu, collecting the piece of Prince's heart in her duty. She met the Knight protecting Prince. At the fist time, the Knight thing she is a part of Raven, but slowly helped collecting Heart pieces…"
"Accidently, the Knight and Princess Tutu fell in love each other and change the plot Droselmeyyer had made. In the end of the story, the Knight that also had the power to "live" his writing, made the characters could decide their ending. Then, Prince got his heart again, fought against reincarnation of Raven to save Rue, his true love and broke the curse. Meanwhile, after finishing her duty, Princess Tutu came back to her duck form and stayed with the Knight that now writing for Kinkan's movement…"
"For your information, the Prince was Mytho, I was the Raven's daughter;Rue, the Knight was Fakir, and Princess Tutu's name when she became normal girl was Ahiru…" she cuts his story.
"Thanks for the information, Rue. But my story isn't finished yet…"
What? How long this fairytale have to end? Um…Don't worry, it just has been five minutes.
"I'll continue : Dorselmeyyer didn't stop there, he was so curious why his own story could be changed. So, when Ahiru was dying and Fakir seemed so worry, he took advantage. He promised him that they could reunite again at the next world, with one condition : Fakir gave his hands. He knew Dorselmeyyer wanted to use him, so he gave his hands not fully, the hands used by both of them. He proved his promise : all characters lived or reincarnated in 19th century, included us…"
"He rewrote again his old story, with some mix and he forgot…more like want to forgot that Ahiru and Princess Tutu is one person, then he separated them, making Fakir confused. Both of these girls knew the truth, heartbroken, dying before the story end. Ahiru sacrificed herself to Fakir, Fakir sacrificed to Princess Tutu, and Princess Tutu gave her heart for the Prince to fight the Raven…Left me and Rue alone, like he wanted before."
"Wait…I get it, I get it. But, it's just a fairytale, right? It doesn't connect to us anymore. And I think you copy "The Half Blood's : Kingdom of Hearts" story…"
He sighs and looks to Rue, "I've thought she wouldn't believe it in first place."
Understand his code, Rue speaks up, "Ahiru…maybe it's impossible for you. But, look around. This lake, his writing, the Half Blood's, and even our self are the same with the story. And why did Fakir avoid you this long time? Here is the answers."
Then, she pulls out some papers, " And they…are the Project Dorselmeyyer going to work with us and this city, again."
I check the papers. People's biographies, city's map, Fakir's hand writing and a paper with big bold underline letters : The Project…They all…
"I copy them when Fakir was outside of his room. Oh…I forgot something. All of the people in this town are the characters, include your family." Mytho adds.
"But…this…this is a plan to destroy Kinkan…" I say, even I can't believe what I just said.
It's a long silent. "We need your help," Mytho repeats his word.
"Why must me?" I ask. It's a big surprise for me that my world changed like this and they want me to take a part of it.
"The story keeps moving and the only one can stop it are you." Rue continues.
I almost cut it with my anger when Mytho adds, "We know it from Fakir's story. I don't know why, but he seems avoid you from this story and makes you become the key."
"He seems still care to you,"
His last sentence makes me blush. He…cares of me? In other words, he likes me? Maybe they don't lie anymore, I must prove it with my own self.
I look at them, hope from me. "Alright…With or without your story, you know I'll help. Now, what is the mission?"
Their serious faces change into smirks, evil one. I have bad feeling…
The next thing I remember, finally I can enter Silver Class' building, walk silently in black ninja clothe, at MIDNIGHT!

I end it like that. Ok..ok…maybe confusing for you, a little bit humor and Dorselmeyyer doesn't show his true self yet, I think. We know that Princess Tutu is more mature form or other personality in Ahiru's body when she collects Mytho's heart in "Princess Tutu real story". So…in my opinion, when Ahiru reincarnates, her soul separates into Ahiru and Princess Tutu, make two different persons but almost a same personality. That's confusing Fakir, doesn't know who does he really love, Ahiru or Princess Tutu. (Get it?) If you can't get it, I'll tell it later, just wait.
And yes…Ahiru must steal something from Silver Class that just she can do it. On the way, she meets someone she doesn't expect. What's going on between Dorselmeyyer, Fakir and Masamoto Highschool? Sorry 4 typo + hope 4 your review
