[British and American Entertainment] London's Dreamy Delusion

[The main story is complete]

"From the 40th floor of the Park Hyatt Tokyo, you can look out the hotel-room windows and see all of Tokyo. I call it the Magic Window. We should go there sometime."

"I heard the ultimate secret of human civilization is hidden at the top of the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan. We should go there, too."

Can a beautiful flower bloom when two people meet at the wrong time?

"I've been there. It was as beautiful as you told me."

"Don't be afraid, darling. Life is a game you only get to play once. Don't be afraid to roll the dice. We'll get there together in the end."

At a party in 1998, the bored Noel Gallagher met a miserable Joleen Appleby. And so the story begins.

Reading warnings:

1. This is a collection of AU side stories for my other Joleen Appleby legend set in the British and American entertainment world. It has no plot connection to the two companion main stories. Joleen has a different identity and background in each worldline here. You can read it as an original story.

2. This is a personal project, not a story meant to promote any particular values. Please decide carefully whether you want to read on. The author does not accept writing advice or moral lectures. This is just a story and has no moral-educational purpose. Mature readers aged 21 and over are welcome.

3. The lines in the blurb may not appear in the main story. Short stories.
