Leola. It was a simple town - neither proesperious nor poor. Everyone worked hard to get the life they had, and recent inflation was making living hard.
Everyone including the Hojo family. Especally one certain part of it.
Rina, mother of five kids - Riku, Zecco, Elly, Diego and Dimitri - with two spouses - Diana and Maxwell, struggled just as much - if not more then anyone else. being with such a large family it was hard to provide for them all but their no less love to share. she adored all her children, their were hardly any fights between her wife and husband... no life was good. she considered herself lucky.
She even kept good ties with her siblings, which nowadays in american culture, was a very hard thing to do.
But today, a simple question was going to wreck havoc among the family. it was going to turn things into something... well different.
So, as they sat there at the table at the dinner table, eating a simple meal of spaggeti, Rina spoke. "Riku, Zecco, Elly, your school called me today."
"but wait i havent even started there yet!" Elly complained. now this was strange. it was the start of summer and the next school year was not to start for another three monthes! She was to become a freshmen. "it was them!" she pointed at her brothers accusingly.
Rina chuckled. "no one is in trouble."

Riku came too a pause just staring momentarily not really understanding " Why would they call then?" he was in kind of a rush too get out, he had his job... and he worked mornings on the weekends always... it was the bad part of being a highschool student but he didnt mind it...

Rina looked at her eldest then tilted her head to the side. "They asked us if we were willing to aperticipate in a foriegn exchange student program. we;d be harboring a student you're age Riku, from a city in Japan called Wutai, for the whole school year."
"Rina..." Diana said, looking up a bit concerned. "what did you say?"
"that we;d think about it."

"now Riku, don;t be selfish." Rina said back evenly. "you already share the house with four other kids, whats one more?"

"His name is Sora San." Rina said. "age 16 nearly 17." she turned to Maxwell. "it would be great anthropology." she grinned.
"always with the science in mind," Diana sighed shaking her head.
