*Chapter2: Title: The Previous Story*

Nicholas slept peacefully at his bed. He was dreaming about a mysterious
girl, he couldn't see the face of her as they talked to each other. Nicholas
inched foward to the girl in his dream and kissed her. Nicholas smiled as he
touched the girl's soft hair, their kiss seemed passionate and lasted
forever.
Joey inched foward looking at Nicholas who was smiling to himself. Nicholas
let his eyes open slowly, suddenly he realize what he was touching was a
dog! The dog was licking Nicholas's face all over. Nicholas let out a loud
yell and tumbled down on the floor. Joey was standing there laughing her
head off. Nicholas placed a hand on the bed and pushed himself off from the
floor slowly, "Oh my god stop bringing that stupid dog over always!!!"
Nicholas was wiping his face with his hands. Joey took a seat down beside
his desk and wiped the tears away from her eyes, "Ohh you are such an idiot!
Couldn't you tell a difference between what you doing in your dream and a
dog???" Joey cracked up again. Nicholas walked out from the bathroom with a
toothbrush hanging from the left side of his mouth, "Well next time remind
me to lock the door?" Joey grinned at Nicholas and gestured her hand telling
the dog to come to her, "Aww poor Candy, next time I'll bring your friend BB
along okay?? Our friend Nicholas must like more company, right Candy??" Joey
shuffled the dog's hair. Nicholas rolled his eyes, "Whatever," Nicholas
started to walk into the bathroom when he turned around slowly, "Wait...how
you get in??? Who gave you the keys???" Nicholas looked at Joey suspicously,
Joey bit her lip and shrugged, "I flew in." Joey smiled. Nicholas looked at
her dully, "Edison......"

The piano laid on the floor just on the corner side. It was a black one, it
was waxed and polished nicely. It shined so new when the sun gave light on
it. A girl walked slowly up to the piano and sat down. Her fingers were just
right, she wore a silver sterling ring on her right middle finger, her
delicate fingers placed on the keys slowly and softly. Her black long hair
hung beneath her shoulder like silk. She slowly pressed each key as the
music filled up the peaceful morning room. She closed her eyes and let her
mind drift wherever she wanted to. The music went from soft and quiet to
slowly rising up. Her lips opened as she started to sing along.

Kwok Fung walked up slowly hearing her daughter play the melodies and her
soft voice. Vicki smiled as she felt a person sat beside her, "Good Morning
Daddy." Kwok Fung smiled and placed his hands softly on her shoulder, "You
are very talented, Vicki." Vicki smiled and opened her eyes, "Maybe, but I
believe there's someone who plays better than me." Kowk Fung nodded, "Well
time for breakfast, let's eat them first before it gets cold." Vicki nodded
and got up from her seat. Her dad walked away to the dining room, Vicki
closed the piano case slowly.

Edison popped a cigarette into his mouth. He lighted it and puffed some
smoke out. A girl passed by him, Edison whistled, "Hey cutie where ya
going?!" The girl looked behind her shoulders and smiled at Edison, but she
continued walking. Edison smiled at himself and continued smoking. Suddenly
he felt a hand on his shoulder, "Hey handsome wassup?" Edison smiled and
turned around, but it faded when he saw who it was. "Oh god..." Joey grinned
at Edison and pushed him, "Omigod?! What does that mean?!" Edison faked a
throw up, Joey stuck her toungue out, "God couldn't you do something
more...good? I mean you're standing in the middle of the street flirting
with girls." Edison looked at her with the same expression Nicholas did,
"Joey you are too annoying." Joey opened her mouth in a gasp, "Alright fine
fine, you two say the same thing always!" Edison laughed, "Yo that's why
we're bros!" Joey hesitated, "Anyway, you doing anything later on?" Edison
was looking at other girls that passed by, "Dunno..." Joey looked at him
with a dissatisfaction, "Whatever, I'm going to work now. Bye!" Edison waved
his hand, Joey glanced behind her shoulders and rolled her eyes.

Joey skipped into the café and walked behind the counter. Stephen stuck his
head out from the kitchen, "Joey couldn't you be later than that?!" Joey
paused and turned around, "Um...hehe...sorry! I had some business to take
care of!" Stephen sighed, "Hey carry those plates inside to the kitchen."
Joey looked around, "Where?" Stephen looked at her dully and pointed at the
direction, Joey followed his direction slowly and opened her mouth.
"Alright...be right here..." Joey walked slowly to the piled up dishes and
carried it with both of her hands. Joey walked slowly towards the kitchen,
suddenly someone shouted Joey's name. Without noticing someone was opening
the door, within seconds all the plates were clashing and shattered
everywhere. Joey opened her mouth in a gasp, Stephen walked out slowly,
looking on the floor and at Joey who was too scare to move.
