So World in a Soccer Bag has been done since the end of last month. I liked writing chapter twelve. It was funny, especially when the other people on the soccer team come in. And the pharaoh. So that's another story done. The International Base is next, officially, but I may start working on The Minority and North High Academic Squad at the same time.

Full Story Summaries
Hurricane Wind--Hayami Ryuji was as normal as a Japanese teenager living in Korea could be. Then, for unexplainable reasons, his classmate and rival, Choi Jongsoo, invited him to come on a trip to Canada with him to visit his cousins. And that was the end of Ryuji's normal life. Changing his name soon after that trip is only scratching the surface of the weird things that would follow him. Blame it on his new friends--all twenty-nine of them! Join Ryuji--or rather, Ryeja--and the crew as they live life and deal with ... stuff.
Galactic Defenders--the universe is not a perfect place. It is filled with darkness and impure intentions. But Thymira is as close to perfect as it could get. Four guardians of Thymira--Fudo, Raidon, Kano, and Kohana--never before questioned their planet's ways and they always fought to purge other planets of darkness. But little had they expected that their own planet fell victim to some of the same intolerances and problems that they fight on other places. It leads them to wonder if there could truly be a perfect world ...
Shuichi's World--Lisa "Shuichi" Gering has had a hard life, but she can escape the harshness of reality by escaping to the World, a place of her own creation where she can fight the physical manifestations of her pain. But her pain becomes too strong for her to overcome it and forces her to retreat to reality. Shuichi isn't about to give up hope, though, and this time, she isn't alone. With her closest friends by her side, Shuichi returns to the World to overcome her past and to learn that she is never truly alone.
The Most Intelligent Species in the Universe--Krono and Diana's plan was simple: sneak into the off-limits playground, retrive Diana's sister's necklace. They never expected to be caught up in a strange adventure to another planet! Once their friends find out about the weirdness that Krono and Diana have found themselves in, they travel to that planet to return everything back to normal. But knowledge is not always good and ignorance is bliss ... This is one adventure that none of them will ever forget!
High School Fairytale--Bryan Kunishige is the smart AP student, the geek, the school loser. The last thing he expects is for Katrina Peterson, Little Miss Popular, the daughter of the most powerful man in the district, and heiress to a large fortune, to take interest in him. But for some reason, she does ... and he's not ready for that! When she forces him to be her boyfriend, though, will Bryan be able to see beyond her exterior and truly love her? Can their love, which Katrina insists on keeping a secret, even blossom under such cirmustances?
Five Under Fire--Josh Mosley, Alex Kanabe, Dustin Barton, Christian O'Connor, and Mike Guinn are known as the Pasadena Five, the biggest law-abiding troublemakers in their hometown. But other then when they're making general nuisances of themselves, life in Pasadena has been peaceful for them. But on the first week of summer break, an unexpected gunshot rings out from downtown and shatters the uneventfulness of their lives. Disregarding commen sense, the five are determined to figure everything out themselves.
World in a Soccer Bag -- Erin Nguyen is in no way like other teenage girls. She loves soccer, not gossiping. She's not a social person and hates shopping. Still, there's no way that Erin would want to get eaten by an evil soccer bag! But when such a bag eats some girls from her school and spits her out, it's up to her to do something about the situation. With a little help from J.V. Alger and Marquis Carter, whose soccer team was also eaten by the soccer bag, Erin just might do the right thing for once in her life.
The International Base -- Jonie Patel is a student at Harvard, and all he wants to do during the summer is get his schoolwork finished. Too bad he's got a clingy girlfriend who has overstayed her welcome and a notorious crime syndicate on his back. And there's the matter of the motley crew that he has crossed paths with. The sixteen young adults and teenagers must work together if they ever want to bring down the deadly crime organization that has them targeted on its radar. So much for a normal summer break.
