  Prologue - if possible, do not read
  Once upon a day, this little girl was listening to music. She was sad because she didn't finish not even one AMV in the past few months. Betas were made, Vegas projects were deleted and she even thought about quitting and deleting all editing programs on her PC. (Okay, I might have overreacted xD) Ever since she started using Vegas, she couldn't keep her hands off FX. And, yes, many were annoying and useless. Basically, what made her think that she can no longer edit was the fact that she couldn't find a good song on which she could use FX. And then she pressed the Next button on her MP3 player..."Thank God that the Shuffle option was invented!" she thought.
  
  In my editing career (lol?!), what I've relied most on was beat synch. The songs I picked for my vids were mostly rock ones, so I also had great possibilities to use effects. But I've been told many times that many of the effects were not necessary and also ruined the flow of the AMV. Oh, well, guess what...I still didn't pay attention to those advices >_>. A few weeks after I finished my last AMV I was planning on making a new one. I imported the audio, imported the episodes, but didn't have any idea as to what to do with them. I tried different effects...it didn't work. I tried different anime series...didn't work. I tried different effects again...still didn't work. And then I thought I needed a change. So, after I listened to the song, I was determined to make my first Romance AMV. Hah, but I still sticked to rock bands >_>.
  And here it is. No effects, only fade and blur transitions...and a few Slow Down thingies xD.
  
  This AMV is kinda made up of four parts:
  1/4: Hiroki-kun's search for Sayuri
  2/4: Sayuri's search for Hiroki-kun
  (a few flashbacks from when they used to spend time together)
  3/4: Hiroki-kun and Sayuri meet in a dream
  4/4: Hiroki-kun and Sayuri reunited *yaaaay* *sniff sniff*
  
  And, yes, I did use that over-used scene when they first touch at the hospital =P.
  
  Story:
  Hiroki-kun and Sayuri have been separated for a while and finally decided to look for each other. All their hopes are ruined everytime they follow a clue, but reach nothing. One night, in a dream, they felt they were closer than ever as they were both running in the same school. After a few flashbacks from when they used to study there, Sayuri and Hiroki-kun finally meet face to face (in the dream =P). Hiroki then pronounces those marvelous words (which cannot be heard over the music, but you're free to imagine him saying them xD): "I will protect you". This is when Sayuri awakes from her dream and finds Hiroki-kun by her side. And, see, even nature feels they should be together (shining sun ^_^ --> lolz, too deep meaning). And then they hug...I mean, Sayuri hugs Hiroki-kun and live happily ever after xD. Teh End
  
  Programs used: - few xD

  Lyrics:
  
  Lost in the darkness, hoping for a sign
  Instead there is only silence,
  Can't you hear my screams...?
  Never stop hoping,
  Need to know where you are
  But one thing 's for sure,
  You're always in my heart.
  
  I'll find you somewhere
  I'll keep on trying until my dying day
  I just need to know whatever has happened,
  The truth will free my soul.
  
  Lost in the darkness, try to find your way home
  I want to embrace you and never let you go...
  Almost hope you're in heaven so no one can hurt your soul...
  Living in agony 'cause I just do not know
  Where you are
  
  I'll find you somewhere
  I'll keep on trying until my dying day
  I just need to know whatever has happened,
  The truth will free my soul.
  
  Wherever you are, I won't stop searching.
  WHATEVER IT TAKES NEED TO KNOW
  
  I'll find you somewhere
  I'll keep on trying until my dying day
  I just need to know whatever has happened,
  The truth will free my soul.
