Suddenly, I was in my apartment, sitting on my couch looking at my brother. My twin. He had longer hair than me, tied into a ponytail, but looking at those green eyes was always like looking into a mirror.


    Leaning slightly to the left, I could see the three girls as they followed him into the room. They''d playfully been called Max''s harem back in school. I was the only one who knew it was purely platonic between them.


    Alice, with her blond hair and blue eyes was as pretty as always. From her clothing, it looked like she was into soccer this week.


    Mary, her long brown hair hiding her equally brown eyes from my view. She was pretty as well. I could also see that she was hiding a rather large book behind her back, though I couldn''t see what it was about.


    Rein bounced out from around the others and stood in front of me "Sup Alex, gonna come with us?"


    Go with them...? Where? Oh...wait...there was some kind of festival or something. Max wanted me to go with them. I appreciated the thought but he knew I didn''t like dealing with large groups of people.


    "Ah...not really, I have a book I want to..finish..." I felt my words come to a stop as I began to wonder why this all seemed like it had already happened.


    Then a light began to shine, coming from the floor. It was silvery and gentle. What was strange was that it appeared right below Max.


    The light quickly spread until it was under the three girls as well. Time seemed to slow down as I looked at the light. It was strange, I could almost see that there were symbols within the light, forming a large circle around them.


    Even though I knew it was a mistake, I reached forward anyway, attempting to reach into the circle and pull someone to me.


    The silvery light flooded towards my eyes, forming one large word. For a second, I saw lines of weird symbols pour towards me, then there was a bright flash.


    feltit begin to move. That feeling was familiar. It was the same feeling I used to get when I was nervous about talking to a girl or felt like I was going to get in trouble. Butterflies in my stomach.
