You were a transfer student from *country name*. You arrived in the Italian skies a little while over two hours ago. They seemed to be forever azzurro with a dash of clouds here and there. Luckily, without acrophobia, you enjoyed the smooth jet ride. Excitement bubbled up from your gut, taking the form of a bright, cheery smile. With only one hour left until your arrival upon Verona, you passed time by mentally organizing what you planned to do in the case of possible siblings. You didn't know if the family taking you in this year had children, let alone multiple. Your mind began to drift into an undefined abyss, wandering freely. Questions flooded in, one by one. Each one boosted the level of your eager excitement, which by now seemed to be endless. These thoughts drowned out the music which filled your ears. (You didn't even know what was playing at this point.)

Time passed, too slowly for your liking, but eventually you arrived in the airport just outside the city of Verona. The airport, much like any other you'd been to, filled to the brim with people. Many were Italians, but there appeared to be a vast variety of ethnicities within the area. You examined the lobby in awe. Finally, you stood on the very land of your dreams - Repubblica italiana. Excitement began to bubble within you once again. A sparkling grin spread across your lips, spanning from ear to ear. After taking another moment to observe, you searched for the baggage pick-up. A plain, green suitcase sat on the belt, waiting just for you to claim it. Taking the moderate sized baggage by the handle, you advanced through the crowd in search of your current adoptive family. After a while, some Italian woman dashed and hugged you, practically crashing into you. By the sound of her voice, she seemed really happy to see you.

"Oh! It's finally you! We've heard so much about you~!"

She squeezed you tightly, cutting off your oxygen source.

"I...can't...breathe...." you barely muttered.

After gasping, surprised, she let go of you. A moment of silence drifted between you two as you regained your breath. Once you finished gaining your breath, you took a good look at the Italian woman.

"Who are you?" You asked her, completely befuddled. She giggled softly.

"Oh, how silly of me! My name is Allegria Ricci, and you will be staying with me for the year, here in Italia~!" she told you cheerfully. You smiled back at her, glad to have a guardian who gratefully took you in. She put an arm around you and began to lead you out of the airport. After packing your luggage into her rental car, the two of you hopped in and she began to drive to the train station. Once again, unpacking and repacking the luggage, you bought a ticket and boarded the train.

Excited as can be, you pulled out your video camera, filming the scenery passing you by. This only lasted for a short time before you turned it off. You needed to save as much battery power as you could. Your parents at home asked for photos and videos of everywhere you went, and you planned to do so. To pass time, you and Mrs. Ricci began introducing each other in conversation. She told you about the family, her husband and where they lived, explaining where you would go to school as well. In responce, you told her about what life was like at home, beginning to feel nostalgic. For an entire year, you couldn't see your friends. But then again, there was always email, right? These nostalgic feelings brought up questions, concerns  and the start of a new topic. Soon, that subject drifted into another. Man! This woman can talk! She wondered about your studies in Italian, what you planned to do in life, etc. Time slipped passed you two,leading you straight into a station near Venice.

The city looked like the place of your dreams, just as you always pictured it. The thought of finally being here stole your breath. To top it all off, your mind blew away at the thought of living in Venice for an entire year. Speechless, you followed your adoptive mother into the city and soon to the apartment you would stay in. Following her into the apartment, you examined as the world passed you by.

If anyone tries to pinch me awake, they are so dead...

The apartment seemed small, but beautiful in it's own way, perfect for a family of two or three.

"Where will I be staying?" you asked, subconsciously wanting to put your stuff away. She pointed to the hallway, telling you which room would be yours. Observing the hall as you gaited, you reached your room – second on the left. You turned the knob, pushing the wooden door ajar. Plain *color*walls surrounded a room you could call your own. Shutting the door behind you, you began to unpack.

Time passed by as you finished, now saticfied with your room. Not much changed, but it was enough. The next step you needed to take was learning the ground rules of the Ricci family. You left the room, leaving the door open behind you. Voices seemed to echo, coming from the living room. Following the quiet conversation, you entered the room to find your adopted mother and a man who you quickly assumed to be her husband. You waited a moment before completely entering. Luckily, they soon finished their conversation. After a pause, you were invited to join them, resuming introductions. After giving you emergency and normal contact information, your new adoptive father offered to let you tour the city. Nodding, you grinned. It was finally time for you to explore the wonderous land of your dreams.

This is the prologue of a request for ~AmberTheAlchemist. It's going to take a while to fully write since I expect it to be a long story. Sorry for not have Feliciano in this chapter. He will show up in chapter one, so don't worry. :)
Please note that everything "you" say is supposed to be in Italian, so if anyone reading this knows Italian and would like to offer a translation, it would be appreciated.

I got the idea from a dating sim. on here. ^^; It's where you go to Italia and Feliciano finds you, you who are a transfer student, and offers you on a date.
