Incomplete: Proposed Storyline

James and Diana

Outline so far-
1. Meet in academy, become friends.

2. Grow closer, "best friends", other friends know they are in love but they refuse to admit it. They CANNOT admit it to each other because.... (factor unknown).

3. James leaves the academy, Diana finds out the extent of James love for her from...(unknown who and how) just before he leaves.

4. They both wrong each other...(somehow), causing a rift between them.

5. James leaves, Diana doesn't say goodbye.

6. James and Diana communicate through mail, apologize. Start of "relationship" (what sort? how?).

7. A year later finds them together. Marshall, Diana's friend, secretly harbors feelings for her but is unable to express it.

8. Diana and James struggle through feelings and emotions, as well as problems such as... (unknown).

The story continued....

9. The (unknown) problem causes them to separate, even though they still love each other.

10. Marshall makes his move and Diana reluctantly accepts, rousing James' jealousy.

11. War comes, James joins up in a rage of emotions and is sent to the front lines.

12. The war spreads to the city in which Diana and Marshall live. James, as a soldier, is wounded and brought to the hospital where Marshall works.

13. Marshall, now a doctor, saves James' life.

14. As James recovers, Marshall realizes the extent to which Diana still loves James.

15. James believes Diana still loves Marshall, is angry with him for saving his life. Marshall does his best to make-up with James, to no avail.

16. The city is taken over by the other side. Soldiers come for James, but Marshall gives himself up as James, even though death is certain. The soldiers shoot Marshall and he dies.

17. James and Diana escape on a ship. The war has erased their "problem" and they can finally be together.

18. Epilogue- James is asked by his son Marshall what his name means. James tells Marshall he is named after a great man, the best friend a person could have.

**Jave, May, Rachel: What do you guys think? Want to write it together? Slowly, of course, piece by piece, the way we started out. As you can see, there're still plenty of holes to fill, and feel free to change stuff.
