hi everyone who is so nice enough to read my confusing story of 'Japan, boys and pure magic.' the other, day, I read my first chaper. I realised; my writing style has changed over the chapters and I haven't put my heart & emotions in writing those chapters. So, I've thought about this long and hard, and have two descions to choose from
*rewrite chapters 4-7; those seem to be were I changed my writing style most
---------------------------------------or-----------------------------------------
*continue writing, with the writing style I have now.
please comment, so I can figure this out!
and, on another note; I'll be on a slight hiatus from this story. I just need a break; re-read over my story plot; and get back a fire in my writing.
thnak-you for reading, and hopefully understanding ^_^
xoxo josie-phin

Chapter Seven
Ah hello dear Tohru Honda. And look, there’s the lovely Riiko; how’s Night going, eh? Tehehe. Ah, a lovely manga store to let myself wind down. There was a place in Queensland were it was stocked to the top full of manga, but Minotaur, this pop culture store, will do. I wish I could use magic to summon manga up for free, but that’s a big no-no in the Magice rules. It’s considered greedy and no money is given to the creators (you can’t summon up a bulk of cash, either). But all is good. I just flew here, and snuck in; it turns out magice’s have these powers were they can sneak into places without being noticed by humans. I wish we had a name for normal humans like they do in harry potter, but, that’s just how the world works, I guess. Ah, there it is. The last volume of Full Moon o Sagashite. Time to find out what finally happens to Mitsuki – such a cliffhanger the last chapter I read! There’s two! Enough for me and some other lucky. So I reached for it, but – wait. There’s someone’s hand reaching for the one next to the one I’m getting – I’m on the left getting the one to the right. Watashi wa baka desu~. “Oh, I’m sorry!” I said
“So you like full moon too? Cool! Hi, I’m Michelle, what’s your name?” Oh my god! She’s so cool. And she likes manga. Maybe I’ll finally have friends like me!!
“I’m Natalie. Full moon’s really cool. I’ve loved every bit of it so far!” Casual, Natalie. Keep it cool.
“So you like manga and stuff too, yeah? You should so totally come to this cosplay picnic me and my friend organized. I’m sorry if this is really random, but we’re really low on numbers. You just need to bring some food.” I don’t have any cosplay, but magic is lovely~♪
“Oh cool! When is it?” More people like me?! So cool!
“Next Saturday, at the Botanical Gardens.” And that’s when my happy bubble burst.
“Ah, crap. I’ve got something on next Saturday.”
“That’s too bad, but I guess this was completely out of the blue. It must be really important, yeah?” Yeah, Sally’s coming down from Queensland, and I wouldn’t be able to bring her; she would feel too, how to put it, left out. Like how I feel when I’ve with the three girls. “Well, I should buy this now, or I’ll be late for my bus. It was nice meeting you Natalie.”
“Same here! Maybe we’ll see each other again?” I sounded so anime.
“Yeah, maybe. Bye!” And then the friend-I-could-of-had went and bought her Full Moon, and left the store. I better get the rest of my manga.
* * *
Full Moon volume seven, Shugo Chara volume five and Mermaid Melody volume four. Got all of my manga and now to get to the counter. Then my day will be lightened up a little.
“Watch out!” What?! But before I knew it, I was toppled to the floor by some random.
“I’m so, so, sorry! I tripped on my shoelace, and then I did this 180 degree thing, and….I’m sorry!”
“It’s alright.” A guy had knocked me down. Must be one of those comic guys; he came from the comic section. I picked up manga and got make in line. Wait. I already have volume two of Full moon.
“This is yours-” we said that in unison. I then started laughing, but quickly stopped. Randomly stupid, Natalie. Randomly stupid.
“I’m Jason. You are…?”
“I’m Natalie. So you like Full Moon? I thought girls read it, since it’s really shojo.”
“Oh, it’s really good. My friend, Rochelle, got me into it.”
“Cool! So…do you have an anime news network account?” maybe we could chat on the forums!
“Yeah, duh! I love reading anime news Nina; it’s so true, every word she says. So what’s your user name?” It’s like he read my mind. He got out some pen and paper and ripped it in half. He wrote his username on one and gave it to me.
“I’m anime_psycho_girl.” He then wrote down the name, and stuffed it into his bag. He‘s so relaxed, and kinda cute. But no one can replace Evan. No one. I then bought my stuff, and said bye. Did I make a friend? Yes!!! Looks like my day turned out fine indeed, without any help of magic! Wait till I tell Sally next weekend that there’s people like me and I’m not a “crazy-alien-from-anime-planet” (in-joke)!!!!

“Ah hello dear Tohru Honda. And look, there’s the lovely Riiko; how’s Night going, eh? Tehehe.” – Tohru Honda is the main character in Fruits Basket. Riiko is the main character in Absolute Boyfriend, and Night’s her boyfriend. By the way, she was only glancing at the shelves when she was saying this in her mind, not hugging the shelves…..
“Full Moon volume seven, Shugo Chara volume five and Mermaid Melody volume four.” – really cool anime/manga that I read/watch. Go to Wikipedia to find out more.
“Watashi wa baka desu~. “ – Japanese for “I’m stupid~”
“You should so totally come to this cosplay picnic me and my friend organized.” A cosplay picnic is when people cosplay (when you dress up as a character from a game/anime/manga) and have a picnic. I was actually invited to one randomly, but I couldn’t go because I had to go to Guide camp that day.
“…shojo” genre of manga/anime. Means “girl manga”
“anime news network account…anime news Nina” anime news network is this anime website, and anime news Nina is this really cool comic on it.
