CHAPTER 1: A Realistic Dream

It was a warm day in Tokyo, a day of happiness for all students! Why? I'm glad you asked!

Professor Agritaru was rambling on about how he wanted his students to have a safe and healthy summer. Of course, no one was listening; they just wanted the bell to ring so they could zoom out of the room.

Professor Agritaru continued his lecture, "And don't forget to read! Reading makes the world go 'round."

"I thought it was love that made the world go 'round," retorted a foolish student.

"No, Lin, love is for squares," the professor said in his nasal voice.

Lin and the professor continued on as everyone else was discussing their summer plans. Three girls were sitting in the back corner of the room by the open window that gave a good overlook of Tokyo.

"So Lotus, where are you going on vacation this summer?" asked Ilani.

"Mmmiii… I don't really think I'm going anywhere exotic this year," replied Lotus having a dazed look.

Kia commented on the moment, "But…I don't understand. Last year, you went to Hong Kong, and the year before that the Philippines, and the year before that-"

"Okay! I get it, Kia," Lotus said with annoyance.

Ilani was a little turned off by Lotus's no vacation thing since Lotus always brought back pictures of far away places Ilani always dreamed of visiting, "But… Lotus, why not?" she managed.

BRRRRRRING! The bell rang! The school year was over! The doors busted open! Professor Agritaru was practically knocked over by the stampede of students. The students were free! Free at last!

Kia made an irrational comment, "SCHOOL-IS-OUT!"

"No, really! I would have never figured that out," Ilani remarked sarcastically.

Lotus broke the tension between Kia and Ilani, "C'mon guys let's go to the ice cream parlor! I'm buyin'."

The three girls ran down the gray sidewalk as blown away cherry blossom petals encircled them. They saw children of all heights running down ally ways and corners to start their summer break. The girls finally reached the ice cream parlor just to see it overflowing with kids their age. They hesitated to go in but, realized they had all summer, and stayed.

"I think of ice cream as the flavor of freedom," Kia said with glee.

"There goes Kia with her retarded puns," Ilani said with no emotion.

"They're not retarded, their genuine," said Kia confidently.

Ilani got annoyed and fired back," You're just a little-,"

"OKAY! What flavor would you like?" Lotus retorted breaking the tension once again.

As Ilani and Kia gave each other piercing stares, Lotus took out her pink and black satin coin purse.

Lotus then realized that no one answered her question, "Hello! I asked a question!"

"Oh sorry Lotus, my best friend in the whole wide world! I'll have Marshmallow Fudge," Kia said trying to make Ilani jealous. (Which didn't work by the way)

Rolling her eyes, Ilani answered, "I guess cookie dough –sigh-."

"I couldn't help but notice, Ilani, you seem so depressed," Lotus remarked.

Of course, it wouldn't be a perfect day without Kia's oblivious retorts, "Yeah! You-"

"KIA!" admonished Ilani

"Y...Y…y...yes?" Kia managed to stutter.

"Could you please lower the hyper meter?!!!!" Ilani raged.

Kia managed to say something but it was hard to make out what she said since she was mumbling.

Then, out of no where a guy with a familiar voice said, "Good afternoon! What will you be having today, ladies?"

Lotus turned around to order and to her astonishment, it was Maxus!

"Maxus! When did you start working here?" Lotus asked.

"I started today, actually. I needed a summer job and this one was a walking distance from our house sooo…,"Maxus replied open-endedly.

Kia killed the moment once again, "Does that mean free ice cream?"

Maxus answered Kia's question with hesitation, "Umm, No, not really, but today's on me!"

Lotus looked shocked even surprised that Maxus would give them free ice cream, especially on his first day working there but she thanked him. The girls all walked out of the parlor and then Lotus focused her attention on Ilani once again.

She went to Ilani, away from Kia and asked, "So…Ilani what's the matter?"

Ilani almost seemed to be crying, "I don't exactly know…I've just been having these dreams."

Lotus inevitably asking, "What kind of dreams?"

"I can't tell it's just this guy, he had hair and eyes just like mine, and he says his name is Riku. They started happening for like two weeks," Ilani explained.

"A guy? Okay…then why are you so depressed?" Lotus asked.

Ilani then shed one tear and practically yelled, "It wasn't him! It was where he was at!"

"Where he was at ?" Lotus asked.

Ilani than calmed down and said, "Yeah…it looked exactly like Destiny Island. You know where I was born."

Lotus looked down at the ground as if it had all the answers and said, "That's strange yet interesting!"

Kia retorted, "I, too, think this summer will be interesting!"

Lotus ignored Kia and said, "You know, maybe your dream is related to mine, remember?"

"Is that the one with the dancing palm trees?" Kia ignorantly shouted out.

"NO! The one with the book floating in the water, duh!" Lotus said with annoyance.

Ilani paused and then realized what Lotus said and then she commented, "Oh yeah, that one! Maybe you're right!"

Kia, of course brightened up the moment, "Yeah, like Destiny Island and a book floating in water!"

"I'm glad you caught up on that one, Kia!" Ilani stated sarcastically.

"Kia, when I said "related to" I didn't mean have the same content, I meant maybe it has some message that we aren't seeming to get," Lotus managed to say keeping her cool.

Ilani thought about it for a while but had trouble putting the pieces together and asked Kia, "Hey, Kia, have you been having weird dreams lately?"

Lotus whispered in Ilani's ear, "Kia thinks everything is weird!"

Ilani gave a look that seemed to spread silence amongst them, "No…I'm serious! Maybe we have some connection, some bond."

"Naw…nothing out of the ordinary, just Lotus becoming a princess," Kia said not realizing what she just stated.

"I also think this summer will be interesting. I have a strange feeling," Ilani said looking up at the sky.

The girls were walking home from the park. Lotus looked at her watch and it was 7o'clock!

Lotus went ballistic trying to think of a quick route to her house! "Guys, I really have to go! It's 7!"

"Hold up there Cinderella! Don't lose a shoe!" Ilani said with humor and sarcasm to Lotus.

"Um…Lotu-," Kia tried to say.

"Not right now! Call me later! I have to go!" Lotus said

"Turn around!" Kia and Ilani said laughing.

"Huh?" Lotus turned around and there she saw her house, not even realizing it at first. She blushed and went up to her door.

"We'll call you when we get home," shouted Ilani.

"Okay, bye!" Lotus said waving bye and closing the door behind her.

Lotus walks in her house and hears the TV on. Her mother pops out randomly.

"Sweetheart, look, Maxus! He's on TV!" Mrs. Fruitica said with a basket of fresh baked bread in her hands.

Lotus ran to the TV and there she saw Maxus's face practically kissing the camera lens. There was a huge headline at the top of the TV screen: ICE CREAM FANTASTICO!

An anonymous voice asked, "So how do you attract the customers here?"

Maxus said conceitedly, "Well… It all starts when-"

DO YOU OR SOMEBODY YOU KNOW NEED A JOB? WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD BECAUSE WE CAN'T HELP YOU!

A commercial cut off Maxus.

RING! RING! The telephone in her bedroom startled Lotus as she stared at the very obnoxious commercial on TV that cut Maxus off.

"Hello?" Lotus answered.

"HEY LOTUS!" Kia said in her loud voice.

"MY EARS!" Ilani and Lotus screamed in unison.

"Sorry!" Kia apologized.

"Hey, Lotus did you see your brother on TV?" Ilani asked.

"How could you miss him?" Lotus answered sarcastically.

They all laughed at the fact that Maxus's head looked so huge on TV.

Kia asked and broke the laughter, "So anyways what do you think it's going to be like in 10th grade?"

"It's the first night and you're already thinking of that already?" Ilani asked in confusion.

Lotus went to Kia's rescue and said, "No, Kia is actually right! This year we have Mrs. Tisho."

"What about her?" Kia asked.

Lotus explained, "Other students who've had her said she possesses magical powers!"

"Yeah, but that could just be a rumor," Kia explained with some real sense for once.

"I did hear she has potions in a box behind her desk," kidded Ilani.

Kia was a bit puzzled "Isn't she the chemistry teacher? Hello? They're called chemicals!"

"Hey Kia, when did you start using common sense?" questioned Lotus.

Kia was oblivious, "What…I?"

"It was a trick to test you! We know Mrs. Tisho isn't some magic genie," Ilani said thinking Kia got the joke by now.

"And we know those aren't potions in that box," Lotus said laughing.

Kia was speechless, "Oh…I"

"You have so much potential, you just don't realize it," Lotus said trying to ease Kia's confusion.

"But…I," Kia tried to manage a few words.

"Yeah! I mean you get A's and B's," proclaimed Ilani.

"I know…it's just…well…I," baffled Kia.

"Don't sweat it, Kia," Lotus said trying to save Kia the trouble.

"What? I don't get it," Kia finally managed to say.

"You'll get it eventually!" humored Ilani.

"Oh, real funny guys!" Kia said playing along.

Ilani and Kia were laughing hysterically at Kia's oblivion.

"Oh guys! I have to go, dinner's ready," Lotus said smelling the aroma of dumplings in her kitchen.

"Okay, bye!" Ilani and Kia said together.

Lotus hung the phone up and noticed a beam of light showing through the rim of one of her floorboards. The floorboard started shaking and eventually it popped off. There, in the darkness of her room she saw it but couldn't believe it.

Lotus said with shock, "Oh my goodness…this can't be real."
