"Bye Sowa!" Rowen left with her mother to the train station, to make her way to her private school in Crocus. "Bye Momma!" Rowen waved as she got onto the train. "Uhg….Wen hates twains…." "Wait! Rowen" Wendy ran onto the train before they left. "Rowen, I forgot to do Trioa!" "Twoia!" Rowen shouted in excitement. Wendy cast the spell on her daughter then left the train. "Yay….Now Wen will be Okay fow a while…"

Rowen sat back her seat and watched out the window. She was almost to Hargeon. At Hargeon station she would be exiting this train and getting on another that had already gone to Clover, Oshibana, Kunugi and Onibus. It took a full day to get to Hargeon and it would take one more day to make it to Magaret town and then two more to make it to Crocus.

Rowen was falling asleep when she had arrived in Hargeon. She tiredly boarded the train. She scanned through the seats until she saw a familiar face. She smiled and ran to her. "Sinka-nee!" Her name is actually Shinka but poor Rowen can not say that.

"Ro-chan!" Shinka moved over and made room for the small girl. Shinka was 17 and Rowen was only 8, almost 9. Shinka had long ash blonde hair and carmine eyes. She was like a big sister to all of the girls. "Is Yoko-tsan hewe?" "Ryoko, No. She's not here yet." "Umeko-tsan? Usagi-tsan?" "Yep, they're here. They just went to get something to eat. They are sitting across from us." "Whewe will Yoko sit?" "With Tamotsu and Yuichi, when he gets here."

A girl with long red, almost purple hair, ran onto the train. The conductor was yelling at her for holding up the train. "Sorry~! I was running so late!" She ran over and sat in the booth behind the two girls. "Hey Wen~! Hey Shinka~!" "Hi Yoko-tsan!" Rowen waved. Shinka smiled and pulled out her book.

Two girls walked down the hall and sat down across from them. "Usagi-tsan! Umeko-tsan!" (Their names are pronounced Yuusagi and Yuumeko. But Rowen says it like Oosagi and Oomeku.) A boy showed up and sat next to Ryoko, his name is Tamotsu.

The train started to move and Rowen talked to all of her friends. It was beginning to get dark and Rowen started to get pale. "Ro-chan, are you okay?" Shinka asked. Rowen shook her head and leaned on the older girl. "Oh right. Motion sickness."

Rowen slowly moved from the girl's shoulder to her lap.

Shinka continued to read as Rowen laid on her. All the girls and boy fell asleep as the train continued through the night. Half way through the night Rowen's motion sickness got worse and she woke up. "Uhhhgg…" She stumbled down the halls and made it to the bathroom.

Shinka woke up, feeling cold from the loss of warmth from the little girl's body. She walked down the hall and approached the bathroom. She knocked on the door and heard the sound of someone throwing up. "Rowen….You okay?" She got no reply. She tried the door and it was open.

She walked over to the small girl who was vomiting into the toilet. She gathered the girl's long hair and held it behind her back. 'I feel so bad for her….This trip must be torture for her…' After a while, Shinka took Rowen back to her seat and both slept for the rest of the night.

It was late in the afternoon once they arrived to the Academy, they all rushed to their dorms. Shinka, Usagi, Umeko and Rowen made their way to their room, up the long climb of stairs because Rowen refused to go on the Elevator. The four girls talked and giggled about useless things as they entered the room.

Usagi pushed her brown bangs out of her face as she struggled to braid Umeko's long green hair. It was a very dark, calming green. She two always did each other's hair. That is all you would ever see them doing.

The next day they all walked across the street to their class, meeting up with Akemi and Akane. They are twins, one with long pink hair and the other with short pink hair. Akemi has the short and mysterious lavender eyes. Akane is the one with the angelic long hair and bright blue eyes.

As they passed the boy's dorm, Yuji and Yuichi joined them. Yuji had dark, trustful, black eyes, they were truthfully brown but were so dark they appeared black. He had a light shade of blonde hair, resembling Shinka's, that was shaggy and slightly fell over his eyes. He was very shy, but one of the most trustworthy friends you would ever meet. Yuichi had light grey eyes that had small gold flakes that let you see into his soul. You could read them like a book. He was a very joyful, sweet person. He had brown hair that was neatly trimmed, with his bangs falling right above his eye brows.

The eight students made it to the school with the younger grades, they all waved bye to Shinka, who had another whole block to walk. Yuichi and Umeko turned down their hall, they were both a year older than the rest. Yuji and Rowen entered the first classroom in their hall as the rest split up into their classes.

Rowen and Yuji sat at their table, where Tamotsu was already there waiting for the two. Tamotsu had black hair, swept back out of his face and sharp green eyes. "Hello!" He smiled as the two settled their things across from him. Yuji sat directly in front of Tamotsu and Rowen next to Yuji. "Hi Tamotsu-kun." Rowen smiled.

Heyo! Sorry for the long wait! I was planning on updating this sooner but I couldn't ever find a good ending point so I just cut it off here. Sorry!

~~UPDATE ON BOOK TWO~~

It may take me slightly longer than planned to start book two. I am very sorry. I have had a very hectic week. I've just been so stressed and my friend tried to kill himself a few days ago and I'm honestly just overwhelmed. I will be starting it and making the cover. I can't think of a name and my friend was like 'lol how about 'Nashi's New Life' it works?' and I was just like 'Oh...I guess it would.' So that's most likely what it is gonna be.

I have everything planned out for that story. I know exactly what's going to happen and who is gonna get injured, who may die, who will date, the outfits they will wear, the flowers that might be sitting on their desks. I have every single detail planned. I just have to do the actual writing part.

So I will have one last chapter to go along with this small short story. Then I will have a final update to give final details about Part Two.

I hope everyone had a great holiday season!

ByyyyeeeezzzzZ!
