The day I met Akira Tanaka felt magical. It's one of those types of days you remember vividly, as if it happened yesterday. When I was five my parents announced we would stay in Tokyo for a week during August. I spent months trying to learn Japanese to prepare for the trip. I was so excited.

Months later I was at Disneyland Tokyo! I couldn't contain my excitement as I stepped foot into the enchanting world of Disneyland Tokyo. The vibrant colors, the lively music, and the air filled with laughter instantly filled me with awe. It was a dream come true for me to be there with my parents, embarking on this incredible adventure.

The summer sun warmed my skin as my parents and I strolled along Main Street. As my parents chatted, I jogged ahead, twisting and spinning to take it all in.

"Slow down sweetie, don't get lost!" Mom called after me. I waved to show I heard but didn't slow down. There was just so much to see!

But of course, my clumsiness couldn't resist making an appearance. In my eagerness, I tripped over an uneven pavement, ready to face a moment of embarrassment. However, before I could hit the ground, a pair of small hands reached out, steadying me.

Looking up, I met the curious gaze of a pale girl with her long black hair in a ponytail. Her intense grey eyes sparkled with amusement, and a mischievous smile played on her lips.

"You should really watch where you're going." The girl said in English. I steadied myself and looked at the enchanting girl in front of me. It felt like something was drawing me to her.

"Sorry and thank you so much!" I said, feeling grateful for her help. "I guess I got a little too carried away with my excitement! I'm Crystal Lockheart by the way."

Akira's laughter filled the air, a delightful melody that echoed through the bustling street. "Nice to meet you Crystal, I am Akira Tanaka. Fine I guess I could forgive you. If you treat me to a snack." The woman who appeared to be Akira's mom told her to have better manners.

"I really don't mind! I'd love to!" I said excited.

From that moment on, Akira and I became inseparable. We spent the entire day exploring Disneyland Tokyo together, riding thrilling roller coasters, indulging in treats, and immersing ourselves in the enchanting parades. The park seemed even more magical with Akira by my side.

As we roamed the park, I couldn't help but notice Akira's shy and quiet brother, Gundham. He stood in the background, observing our antics with a mysterious aura. Though he rarely spoke, his presence intrigued me, and I found myself wanting to unravel the secrets behind his quiet demeanor.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the park, Akira and I were excited for the fireworks. We held hands as we watched fireworks lit up the sky. It felt magical. She turned towards me with a cool smile on her face. "Today was fun... friends?"
