Parking lot
Asami was having a typical night. She rode around the parking lot aimlessly on her skateboard, admiring the stars. It was another beautiful night in the city. The fresh air filled her lungs. It wasn't like the air back home, the air that had a real freshness to it, but it was as fresh as it got in Tokyo. Asami closed her eyes. She just went along feeling the wheels on the pavement. She kept her head tilted back, and after a few minutes of this, she opened them. This time however, Asami saw more than stars.

Kei's Room
"What was that-" Rika stoped mid-question as she saw a goggle doning, sledge hammer wielding, manic grin wearing Miki Fujimoto stand by a set of shattered glass doors.
Miki put the sledge hammer down on the top of its head. She put her gloved hands on her hips. Wearing a tight red t-shirt, gloves, goggles, and the equally tight blue jeans, it occured to Rika that this was probably some man's, or more acurately many men's fantasy come true. An apathetic Fujimoto returned as she lost the grin.
"Oh."
"Miki..."
"I gotta list for you."
"Huh?"
Rika walked into the room, a nonplussed Shibata in tow.
"From Mari and Tsuji" she tossed the tablet towards Rika. "Gotta get as much as we can done for the-" Miki slipped into an impersonation of Summer Party! complete with half assed dance moves. "party party."
Rika flipped open the cover.
"Awwww.. Tsuji wrote it!"
Miki arched her eyebrows.
"I'm in the same generation as her, known her for years, and still can't read this half the damn time!"
Shibata looked over Rika's shoulder.
"Maybe it's upside down..."
Rika flipped it and the two girls continued to stare.
"No. No it's not."
"What is that about fairs?" Shibata asked.
"I think she means...chairs."
"Wow, she totally combined the c and the h."
"Yeah."
"Is that even a letter?"
"What that? That is the word 'and', maybe.."
"No, no, above that. See?"
"Dear lord."
"Whats this about chairs?" Miki asked.
"It either says "get rid of chairs' or "go get some bears"
Miki remained silent for a few seconds. Contemplating.
"You know...."
Rika and Shibata looked up at her.
"With them, either one is plausable. Maybe we should do both? Or at least the easier one. Do you know of any places to get a bear at this time of the night?"
"No"
"Well then, chairs it is!"
Miki walked over to the two cream coloured seats. She lifted one up with little difficulty and started waddling over to the balcony. Her expainsion proejct had went well, where the glass used to be, there was now a wide open space that let the sounds of Tokyo in. Miki thought the gaping hole that no longer separated room and balcony would let in more than noise. Probably some rain, birds, wind. Oh well. Wasn't her problem.
Miki set the chair down, carefully avoiding the glass. Rika and Shibata walked out onto the balcony, sharing the weight of the other chair. She readjusted her grip and with all her might lifted the chair up to the level of the railing. She paused letting Rika and Shibata do the same.
Miki shoved.
She heard a scream as she leaned over the railing to watch the impact. Someone Miki couldn't make out in the darkness was on the ground next to the chairs.
"Oh my god! Who is that?" Rika yelled.
"I can't make them out. It's too dark they look like a spec."
Shibata and Rika looked over at Miki.
"Huh? What? I don't know. I'm Miki Fujimoto. Everyone is an insignificant spec to me no matter how dark it is."
