Disclaimer: I do not own any of the anime characters listed in the story. However, I do own Douglas Kreig (Father), Terry McCormick (Alchemist), Ivan Gredenko (Knight), Rina Kisungji and Vespin Otonashi (Queen).


When Rina opened her eyes, she found herself sitting on her couch, facing the television with the menu of '.hack//roots' showing. She looked outside the bedroom window and saw the sun shining brightly. She realized that it was all a dream. But that gave her inspiration to write a story for the Ani-nation Awards.

She got up and took a bath and got a change of clothes. Then she raced down and greeted her parents and ate breakfast. She wore a yellow blouse and a brown skirt. After that she got upstairs to write her story. She wrote it until her mother called her down for lunch. She went down and ate her lunch up. After eating, she took a light nap.

It was 2pm when the grandfather's clock chimed twice. That woke Rina up and she went to her mother.

"Mom, I'm going out for a while to get some fresh air," said Rina as she took out her purple scarf, her black stockings, her brown boots and her white winter jacket. It was late autumn and the weather is very cold.

"Okay, honey. But don't come back too late," responded her mother. Rina wore her stockings, boots and winter jacket. She grabbed her purse, cell phone and iPod and then wrapped her scarf around her neck and she started to walk towards the bus stop. She waited for the bus to arrive and got into the bus. She paid for her fare and the bus headed towards the commercial district near her school.

When she reached the commercial district, she got off the bus and headed into the Starbucks nearby. She ordered herself a hot cup of latte and settled herself on a couch nearby. She waited while listening to her iPod. Minutes passed and no one came. She started to feel sleepy and she settled her head on the comfortable couch. She was about to doze off when she was awakened by a jerk on her shoulder. She opened her eyes and saw Vespin, Douglas, Terry and Ivan sitting across her.

"O hai o, Rina. Was the journey too short for you?" asked Vespin as she smiled.


Months passed and the winners of the Ani-nation Awards were announced. Their story became the winner for that year's Awards, earning them credit for the story and their story was shown all across the world. They became quite famous, and an animation company offered a secure place for Douglas Kreig if he wanted to be an animator. Ivan Gredenko and Terry McCormick were offered a place and scholarship into a university for arts and film-making. Rina's story attracted world media and her story was published as a novel across 35 countries. Vespin, however, decided to shun away from celebrity life and continued life as a normal teenager.

In the years that have passed, the story has gained popularity and it was animated into a series. When the series was released, it became the top in the charts of the anime world. It was so popular that it had merchandises popping up everywhere. Some people speculate that it will be made into a live-action movie.

If you're wondering what Rina had written as a story for the Ani-nation Awards back then, here's a little secret: you have just finished reading it.


That's all folks. Please review
