Four finely dressed young men walk into a VIP room at a local club with determination in their eyes. Each one of having a bead of nervous sweat running down their faces, one who was tan with purple hair and golden eyes had an angry expression build in his face as he walked further down a hallway. Another with pale skin, black hair, and cyan color eyes balanced his emotions before he turned towards another hallway, while next to him was a man with light auburn hair, light skin, and green eyes who walked with a sense of confidence which was slowly deteriorating as he neared his destination. The four man had very dark auburn hair, light skinned, gray eyes, and walked with a sense of confusion as the four men turned another.

"Guys...it's this way." pointed out the man with gray eyes as the other groaned for turning the wrong direction. They walked towards a door marked 21, all four men hestiated to open the door as they each looked at each other gesturing one another to open the door. Finally after a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors the man with purple hair opened the door. They entered the room as four young women were enjoying their drinks, but as they walked in each of women stared down one of the guys. A woman with pink hair stared down the man with purple hair, a blonde woman stared at the green eyed man, while a woman with red eyes stared down the man with cyan colored eyes, as a women with brown eyes playfully stared down the man with gray eyes. The stare down continued on for a few more seconds until the man with purple hair stepped up.

"I am Nikolaus Antoniou, the Greek God from Verona, do you wanna die?" declared Nikolaus towards the pink haired who simply continued to stare. The man with green eyes stepped up next.

"My name is River Washbourne, I'm a leaf from Windfield, how ya doin?" asked River towards the blonde who eyes sparkled at the statement. As River ended his statement the man with cyan colored eyes stepped up for his turn.

"I'm Sian Park, the gentleman from Extonburg, a pleasure." stated Sian to the red-eyed woman as the last man stepped up.

"Imma Makoto Tsukino, the idiot from Bark Town, and think I've seen this before?" said the confused Makoto towards the smiling brown eyed woman. After the boys spoke the woman with pink stood up.

"Who the hell do you think you are Niko!" shouted Estelle the pink-haired girl as she walked out of embrassment and frustration. The girl with blonde hair, named Natalie followed her as she smiled at River.

"Well I guess we gotta go." said the monotoned red-eyed girl named Kiera as she and Maria the brown-eyed girl grabbed Estelle's belongings and walked out, but not before Maria kissed Makoto on the forehead.

"That was you're plan Niko?" asked River as the four men sat in defeat.

2: An Autumn Day In Elysia

Autumn in Elysia, a time were each year the city experiences a boom with an influx of students entering many of its celebrated and prestigious schools. Here the story begins with eight college students who on an ordinary autumn day begin the most fantastic, amazing, stressful, hardest, and wonderful stretch of their lives.

Downtown, Elysia -9:30am

"Hey love, let me get that number." said Nikolaus Antoniou as he chatted up a beautiful woman at cafe near his university. The flattered woman agreed and gave her phone number to the handsome purple haired man as he smiled and left to his school. As Nikolaus was walking away he placed the paper in his pocket and checked the time.

"Shit I'm late." said Nikolaus as he jogged towards the dorms.

Meanwhile in the cafe a barista had just got of her shift.

"Hey I'm off now." said Estelle Bonnet to her manager as she packed her items and left the cafe. She met with a couple of girls who also walked towards the university while they began have a conversation.

"Hey Stelle are you alright?" asked one of the girls noticing her annoyed mood.

"Yeah, it's just I saw a guy at the cafe." replied Estelle

"And? Was he hot?" asked the girls who very interested.

"Sure but..." replied Estelle before she was interrupted by another girl.

"The hot guy with the purple hair?" asked another girl

"Yeah...he seemed like such a douche." replied Estelle to the girls who were met disappointment.

"Estelle your standards are too high." laughed the girls as they arrived at the university.

Satie University, Downtown Elysia -9:45am

"Look at that Natalie, we made it." said River Washbourne as he and Natalie Evans stared at the front of the university.

"Yeah finally, I'll finally become a reporter!" proclaimed Natalie triumphantly pointing her finger towards the sky.

"Hell yeah! Brace yourself Elysia the best news duo from Windfield has finally arrived!" yelled River pumping his fist into the air. Bystanders were watching, laughing and even filming in awe of the strange duo until eventually River and Natalie noticed.

"Ahem well thank you." coughed River at the spectators who began to clap breaking the awkward silence as the pair walked off towards the dorms.

"See you in while Natadile." teased River to an embarrassed Natalie as they parted ways.

Extonburg, Elysia -9:00am

"Father I'm leaving now." yelled Sian Park before he opened the door of his mansion until a butler stopped him.

"Master Park your father would like a word with you." said the butler to Sian who afterwards entered his father's study room.

"You summoned me father?" asked Sian as he entered the room

"Park Sian-Hyun...you're eighteen now correct?" asked Sian's father

"Yes sir." quickly replied Sian respectfully

"Do you remember my arrangement with my business partner Stephen Doyle?" asked Sian's father in a serious tone of voice. Sian began to think and remembered a conversation with his father back when he was six.

"Yes father, to ensure the Park & Doyle company's future I Park Sian-Hyun will marry Stephen Doyle's first daughter to ensure the company will remain in the family." replied Sian reluctantly as he stared at his watch.

"I understand your feelings, however a deal is a deal. Your fiancee will also be attending Satie University so it would be best to court her now." sternly said Mr. Park

"Court her? How old is he?" thought Sian to himself as the eighteen year old entered his Bently and drove to school.

Greenhaven Estates, Elysia -9:35am

"Kiera? Kiera honey? Are you ready?" asked a maid as she knocked on the door of Kiera Doyle's room. The young red-eyed girl quickly opened the door near falling flat on her face.

"I-I'm sorry Ms. Jones I overslept!" apologized Kiera hopped down a flight of stairs trying to get her socks on. Kiera managed to get her socks on as she bit into a piece of toast straight from the toaster while trying to put on her shoes.

"Kiera honey slow down you're going to choke on the toast." said Ms. Jones as she grabbed Kiera's coat from a closet.

"I'm sorry ma'am!" quickly apologized Kiera as she swallowed her toast and dropped down on her knees and bowed. A confused Ms. Jones simply smiled at Kiera's overly dramatic apology.

"Such a silly girl, now hurry child Winston has the car ready." laughed Ms. Jones

"Thank you Ms. Jones." said Kiera before she hugged her and left for school.

Leon, Elysia -8:00am - 9:45am

"Papi! Mami! Ya me voy!" shouted Maria Guerrero as she opened her front door. Her parents came rushing out their room in a panic to see their daughter.

"Wait!" yelled the parents in unison as they rushed her giving her hugs, kisses, and good luck prayers. She waved bye before aboarding a public bus heading northbound to Downtown.

"Y mis hermanos?" texted Maria as stared out the window waiting for a reply.

"Working y school" read Maria from her mother's text as she got off the bus and walked towards the enterance of Satie University as she noticed two people making a spectacle of themselves shouting and pointing towards the sky.

"Hell yeah! Brace yourself Elysia the best news duo from Windfield has finally arrived!" shouted the two people until noticing the crowd of spectators, Maria who was genuinely impressed by the display began to clap, others began to clap afterwards as the pair left. She walked to her assigned dorm and there met a pink haired girl.

"Hello I'm Maria" politely said Maria introducing herself

"Hi I'm Estelle" said Estelle as she began to change her clothes. A panicked Maria quickly rushed the door behind her closing it from any viewers.

"Sorry!" apologized Maria

"I should've noticed that." laughed Estelle

Bark Town -3:00am - 6:30am

Before any of the events above a happened earlier that day a young man named Makoto Tsukino woke up at three in the morning getting ready for a three-hour train ride to Elysia.

"Ojiisan! Obasan! I'm leaving now." yelled Makoto towards his grandparent's room. His grandfather arose from his room towards his grandson and placed his right hand on his shoulder.

"Carrots don't grow on trees." said his sleepy grandfather to him. Makoto nodded his head in an understanding of this random saying as he left towards the car were his cousin waited. She waited with a annoyed expression on her face as she pointed at the car. They drove to the train station and Makoto aboarded but before the door closed he said to his cousin.

"Thank you...Ume-chan" said Makoto in an old raspy voice as he made a troll face at his angry cousin, who in turn launched a quarter straight at his forehead knocking him backwards. Three hours later Makoto arrived in Elysia's Neon district and aboarded a public bus towards Downtown.

Satie University 10:00am

Sian walked into his dorm to find River adjusting a telescope at the window facing the courtyard's direction. His glasses quickly shined at his accomplishment as auburn haired student laughed in triumph.

"Now no story will ever evade my eye!" laughed River unaware that Sian stood behind him.

"I am Sian Park and it seems that I am your roommate." quietly said Sian to the still oblivious River who continued to be amazed by his own accomplishment. The uninterested Sian ignored River and began to unpack his things.

Meanwhile Natalie, still embarrassed from the earlier event, finished unpacking in her room to avoid anyone who have might of saw her, as she placed the finishing touches on her side of the room she felt a presence watching her. The spooked Natalie turned around and saw a red-eyed girl watching her, the girl was trying her best to smile.

"My name is Kiera Doyle...nice to meet you." awkwardly uttered Kiera giving a creepy smile to the frightened Natalie who just simply got in her bed and covered herself with a blanket. Across their room was Estelle and Maria's room were the two have already began to try to get acquainted with one another. While across the hall from Sian and River's room was Niko who had found a sleeping Makoto on the floor.

"Uh are you okay dude?" asked Nikolaus gently shaking Makoto who began to respond to him.

"Today is September 4th, temperature outside will be 74F partly cloudy." mumbled Makoto to himself as his lips touched the floor. A confused and disgusted Niko checked his phone to see if Makoto was right about his forecast.

"He's dead wrong. Hey it's the 6th and it's clear with a temperature of 62 outside!" replied the irritated Niko as threw his backpack on a bed.

"Be amazed mortal." replied the sleeping Makoto to the annoyed Niko who threw a pillow at him.

3: Something Stupid

In room 122 of Cambridge H. Madson residential hall of Satie University a young awkward man by the name of Makoto Tsukino practiced violin alone awaiting the return of his roommate as he left to get food. He played a melancholy piece that nearly brought tears to the eyes of listeners who walked by his room but for the young man it was a just a boring practice session. Across his room was room 121 where Sian Park, who was trying to enjoy the music in peace, and his roommate River Washbourne, who was currently crying his eyes out, but that's another story all together. It had been about three weeks since classes at Satie University started and the characters of this story have all been trying to adjust to their new lifestyle. The across the male living quarters was the female quarters where in room 168 Estelle and Maria were engaged in a intense game of chess to decide the cleaning routine, while across their room is room 169 the residences of Kiera Doyle and Natalie Evans who were caught in an awkward silence again. Mundane activities aside, this is where the actual story begins as two events simultaneously occur starting their lifelong adventure together.

And it started  with a pizza...

"Alright Makoto you can stop the sad song now." Niko said as he entered the room quickly running his hand through his lushish purple hair. Makoto looked at him with a dumbfounded face and nodded yes. "Jeez you're a weirdo." Niko commented as he stared into a mirror and began combing his hair. "It's pizza so we gotta go pick it up at 3. Now repeat after me, 3 o'clock." commanded Niko to Makoto as the musician began to perform a cossack dance. "Ah you're impossibly weird Makoto." yelled Niko out of frustration.

Meanwhile

"Checkmate." declared Maria as she trapped Estelle's white king at h8 with two rookes and a bishop. "This isn't over Guererro!" Estelle yelled in disappointment knowing she would have to cleaning their room for the next year. "You wanted it like this Bonnet." Maria said in a calm but confident manner, the glaring match between them was interrupted by the sounds of stomach growls. "It's lunch time." stated the girls in unison.

3 o'clock rolled around and Niko was still combing his hair trying to ignore Makoto who realized it was three and once again began to perform a cossack dance. "What now Makoto?" asked the frustrated Niko until he realized the time. "It's three? Next time just speak damn you!" Niko scolded as they both left for a pizza shack just outside of the campus. At their arrival they learned that someone else took their pizza, posing as Niko, and needed to place another order. "Damn it. I'm out of cash, do you got any?" Niko asked Makoto who nodded his head no. Desperate for pizza Niko scanned his surrounding and saw two fine young ladies, one with pink hair and one with black hair, and came up with a gameplan.

"Alright Makoto I'm gonna score us some free pizza and dates." Niko said confidently as he ran his hand through his hair and walked towards the ladies. He walked past them and then placed his arms around their shoulders "Hey ladies Mr. Right is here, someone said you two were looking for me." Niko said as he smiled at them until one of them pushed him off. "Alright asshole I have pepper-spray and I know how to use it. Maria let's go." commanded the aggressive Estelle warding off Niko for a few moments before he continued with his plan. "S-Sorry I started off bad, what I meant to say is would you two like to join my friend and I for lunch." Niko asked nervously to Maria who was trying to calm Estelle down. "Sure" Maria replied much to Estelle's protest as the trio walked towards Makoto. Arriving towards Makoto Niko remembered something important, "Oh yeah I forgot to ask, your names lovely ladies?" Niko asked in his most flirtatious voice.

"I'm Maria" said the smiling black haired girl quickly elbowing Estelle to introduce herself.

"I'm Estelle" unwillingly spoke Estelle still angry. Niko smiled and began to introduce himself, "I'm Nikolaus but you can call me Niko and this dense statue is Makoto." Makoto was facing the opposite direction examining the urban scenery unaware of the current situation. "Let's order, why do you ladies take a seat at that table over there." said Niko as he pulled out a credit card and began to order with Makoto, Niko spoke into Makoto's ear. "Dibs on Maria." to which Makoto replied "Hmm?".

"Ah you're hopeless. Alright the foxy Latina wearing the white sundress, yeah she's mine, you can have the pink-haired hipster with her, got it?" Niko asked to which Makoto once again answered with "Hmmm?". "Damn you." quickly replied Niko. The two walked towards their dates, Makoto finally became aware of the situation and walked towards the ladies, his eyes upon meeting with Maria's caused something to happen.

Thump Thump Thump

Come on Appa let's play...

Eomma I'm hungry...

Sleeping again mister?...

Images of three children, a dog, a large house in the countryside, and seven of his closest friends with their children all ran through his mind with each thump of his heart.

"This is your future Makoto..."  said a voice in his head. Makoto heard another faint voice yelling at him that snapped him back into the present.

"Hey numbskull wake up." Niko commanded as Makoto, slightly embarrassed, quickly sat down and passed the food around the table. Instead of pizza they ate burgers & fries and tried to get aquianted.

"So ladies what are you majoring in?" Niko asked

"The hell is this an interview?" instantly replied Estelle causing Niko to glare at her.

"Well I'm in the classical music program." answered Maria trying to ease the tension between Niko and Estelle. "Oh really? So is numbskull here." replied Niko still glaring at Estelle. Makoto was quietly eating his lunch trying to avoid conversation until Maria spoke to him.

"Oh you're that Makoto! The professor won't stop talking about you and your amazing skills on the piano." Maria said with a smile as Makoto blushed and nodded.

"And what do you do?" sternly asked Niko to Estelle still glaring at each other. "If you must know I'm majoring in photography." she replied in anger. "What about you?" she asked still glaring at him. "Huh. I'm acting of course!" Niko proudly stated "Good looks like mine aren't easy to come by." Niko continued but was quickly cut down by Estelle. "How lame." said the sharp-tongued girl to which Niko replied "Screw you!"

"So what are you into?" Maria asked Makoto who was still nervous but quickly gained confidence upon hearing the question. "I'm really into Jazz." Makoto stated with excitement in his voice. "That's good." chuckled Maria "For a moment there I thought you didn't like talking to me." She and Makoto continued to talk about music while Estelle and Niko continued their cold war until finally it was time to leave. "Could you let us walk you back?" Makoto asked nicely much to the surprise of everybody.

"The hell? Shit! I was too busy fighting with Pinky to notice Makoto flirting with Maria...wait judging by their expressions they really seemed to hit it off. Who'd a thought?" thought Niko to himself. The foursome walked into the campus courtyard and decided to part ways.

"So pinky...can see you again?" asked Niko who admittedly liked this encounter with her.

"I don't know. Ask yourself , I am worthy enough?" Estelle replied before she walked off "C'mon Guerrero" commanded Estelle. "Bye" Maria said as she left and looked back at Makoto who awkwardly waved.

"She really likes Makoto." said the surprised Niko to Makoto as he patted him on the back.

"I wanna see her again." Makoto quitely said out loud. "Then tell her how you feel." Niko responded. Makoto took a deep breath and shouted...

"I LOVE YOU!"

It was loud enough to be heard all over the campus and quickly caught everybody's attention.

"Are you stupid?" Niko scolded

"Is he insane?" Estelle asked

Maria stood there, understandably shocked, frozen staring at the man who just shouted his heart out in a moment of bravery or stupidity. She remained still until eventually she smiled at him until Estelle dragged her away.
