31Now to another reviewer, thanz for ur idea for Taiki and Ami!
Yes Kismet (?) I agree with you that what I write might now be exactly true, but I'm trying my hardest to be correct. True that the Jews prob didn't know about Hitler but lets pretend that that Tsukino's does, k? Bout Usagi and Mamoru switching places, no cuz I got plans for Usagi and her hair is needed. ( Another title? No cuz it took me forever to think of this one.
Disclaimer: own nothing
It was a beautiful and peaceful afternoon in the small city of Copenhagen, Denmark in May of 1939. No one knew that within the next few years the peace would be completely shattered and leaving only pain and suffering. *
"Usagi! Wake up, we got to go to the market today," a gentle voice said waking up the sleeper.
"Rei, you always do that, just when I was having the best dream," the girl named Usagi mumbled opening her eyes.
The first thing Usagi saw was her twin sister hovering over her. Usagi smiled looking at her twin sister. They may be twins but they shared no similarities beyond being born on the same day. Rei has shiny black hair that goes to her waist, olive skin, large, dancing brown eyes and a contagious smile. Rei was the responsible twin, always there to correct Usagi's mistakes and critical of everything she does. Usagi on the other hang has long blonde hair that she usually tie into a French braid or occasionally put up into two buns on top of her head. She has bright, ocean blue eyes, and an angelic face that attracts many males attention. Usagi's personality unlike her twin was more adventurous, fun and out going.
Rei laughed, "Come on, I want to go to the market!"
"All right, I'm coming. Is the others ready?" Usagi asked, referring to their older brother Taiki and younger sister Makoto.
"Yup, we're just waiting for you, so you better hurry up!" Rei said, leaving the room for her sister to get ready.
"I'm ready!" Usagi yelled as she happily bounced down the stairs in a new royal blue dress and her hair twisted in a French braid.
"About time!" A scowling girl muttered. She looked a little older than the twins because of her height but she is only 16 years old, where as Rei and Usagi are 18. She has brown hair and eyes and when she smiles she truly a sight for sore eyes.
"Sorry Makoto," Usagi said beaming a huge, sunny at her younger sister. Makoto couldn't resist her sister's smile and gave a grin.
"So could we go yet?" A male voice interrupted. Usagi turned her head toward her 20 years old brother and also gave him a smile. He was handsome, with a great built, brown eyes, jet-black hair and is extremely smart.
Usagi nodded enthusiastically and walked out the door with the group. Outside, Usagi noted the familiar surrounding and grinned when she saw her friend running down the street.
"Usagi!" A melodic voice yelled.
"Minako!" Usagi yelled, waving.
"So what are you doing today, Usagi? Because Yaten and I were wondering if you want to go to the creek and have a picnic." Minako said.
"Taiki, Rei, Makoto and I are going to the market to buy some supplies," Usagi answered staring at her blond friend. Like Usagi, Minako has long blond hair that she pulls back with a red ribbon, sparkling baby blue eyes and an over friendly personality.
"Oh. ok than, have fun, " Minako said slightly disappointed.
"Sorry, another day ok?" Usagi asked.
"Sure, I got to get going. See you later!" Minako yelled already running away.
"Bye," Usagi shouted to her retreating friend.
Turning back to her sibling she followed them into the market, talking excitedly to Rei and Makoto. The children's parent watched them wander off filled with innocent happiness and was not aware of the disaster that was heading their way. *
"I'm tired," Usagi stated as she collapsed onto the twin's shared bed. It had been fun at the market and she enjoyed spending time with her siblings and checking out guys. She also bought a red phoenix ceramic pendant for Rei's 19th birthday. Usagi knew she would love the present.
"So am I," Rei said stifling a yawn. "We should go to sleep soon."
"Guess so," Usagi got up and shut the light.
"Good night," the two girls said in unison and soon fell asleep. * The next morning after breakfast had been cleared Mr. Tsukino cleared his throat to get the attention of everyone.
"There is something I need to tell you guys," Mr. Tsukino said. "I got news from my friend that a politically powerful man named Adolf Hitler has a plot to rid the land of all Jews. If this does happen, which my friend ensured me will, Hitler will invade Denmark and we'll be in living hell. So we need to leave here as soon as possible. Your mama and I decided go to Budapest, Hungary and the Aino's are going to join us."
The children were all shocked by the sudden news. How could they leave the place that they love so much behind? Moving away to Hungary? Each one of the Tsukino's children had been born and raised in Copenhagen.
"How reliable is your friend?" Taiki asked quietly.
"He is actually an German soldier that I met a few years back. He heard news of the invasion and sent a letter a week ago. I won't doubt a word he wrote. We will be leaving in 5 days, so I suggest you to pack some important items and leave the rest here."
Five days passed in a blur and the Tsukino's and Aino's had begun their trip to a new life. The two family first traveled to Germany, Poland, Ukraine and than finally to Hungary. The journey had been pleasant despite the situation. Yaten, Minako's older brother is a charming gentleman that managed to lessen the tension throughout the trip. He paid special attention towards Makoto since she is the youngest but the other girls believe there is an ulterior motive. On June 28th, the exhausting journey ended as they set foot into the city Budapest, into a new world and life. The Aino and Tsukino have managed to find a fairly big house, that was located in the less urban Jewish area of Budapest, for the two families to live in. It is two days till the twin's birthday and it is the first one that was celebrated away from Copenhagen, their home. *
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to Usagi and Rei, happy birthday to you," the two family sang as the birthday girls blew out the candle on their homemade chocolate cake.
Rei and Usagi began opening the presents their family and friends gave them. The girls had each received two new dresses and gold necklaces. Usagi gave Rei the present she bought for her and Rei gave Usagi a present also. Mr. Aino is a photographer for a newspaper company and decided to take a picture of the two girls. This was exciting for Rei and Usagi for pictures were rare and they had never taken a picture before. Flash. Went that light of Mr. Aino's camera and the birthday girls couldn't wait to see their first picture.
