Note: Hi all! Um, I haven't ever really written a PW fanfiction before, so I'll do my best to make this good (and hopefully something you will enjoy. I know this first part is short, but I promise to make it longer in future parts). The title is from a song by Bob Dylan.

If Not For You

Franziska awoke that morning with a feeling that she had forgotten something. She couldn't for the life of her figure out exactly what it was, and tried to push the thought from her mind because she had a lot of work to do today and had no time to dwell on such pointless and foolish things. She moved into the adjoining bathroom, where she slipped out of her silk white night dress and hopped into the shower. The warm water felt soothing against her skin and she smiled to peacefully to herself and for whatever reason, she decided to turn on the little radio that was attached to the shower wall. This was a thing she hardly ever did for she had little patience for modern music and the foolish hosts that ran the stations.

"Good morning all you early birds! And what a fabulous day it is; the sunny weather seems to be set in for the day, which is just the thing all you love birds out there could want! It's currently 7:30 this wonderful Valentine's Day, so make sure you make the most of it with you special someone!"

Franziska frowned. "Of course", she thought angrily to herself. It was Valentine's day; how could she have forgotten? Not that it really mattered, as she had never once in her 18 years of living on this planet ever had a valentine before. But she didn't care, not much, not really.

Still…

The radio bought the 19 year old back to reality, playing some sappy love song. Angrily, Franziska shut of the water and the radio, glaring at it as she did so.

"Foolish thing, I don't know why I even bought you".

Ever since that radio announcement, things went from bad to worse for Franziska von Karma. After her shower and a little breakfast, she left the house and headed out to her black Mercedes. However, when she put the keys in the ignition, the car failed to make so much as a single noise. Franziska, try as she might, she simply couldn't get the car to start. "Curses", she muttered, shooting her hand out to smack the steering wheel but missed and ended up hitting the dial on the car radio instead, turning it on accidently.

"It's now 8:15 this fine February 14th, and we here hope that your Valentine's Day is going-"

That was it. Franziska shut off the radio, locked the car and leaned against it. She looked up into the sky for a moment, rubbing her temples, trying to calm herself. Well, it was a nice day; that she couldn't argue with. With a heavy sigh, she had no choice- it was public transport for Franziska.
