Idea #2 Ok well... this came to me when I woke up and I think it'll be the story I use for a writing competition a while from now. Its a science fiction/romance. This story is heavily influenced from a anime I watch, but I'll tell you what it is down below to see if you can guess right. xD
Story is based in the far future, where space travel throughout the solar system is now a real thing. As such, there are great marvels and many great things that has accomplished in the future. The cure for cancer, the end of world starvation, Gods in his Heaven, and all is fine on Earth. Humans are one thing that has not, and will never change. War. One of mankind's ways of keeping its population from reaching to critical masses, one might say, is in full swing throughout the planets where humans have colonized in a expedition to explore the cosmos. Its a war of race. Yes, humans will never change.

The story follows a boy and a girl from the era. The girl comes from a very wealthy family (Race undecided, maybe American) and the boy meets this girl unexpectedly in the story. They fall in love throughout the story, but the love does not last because the boy is sent off to war.
Characters:
Boy (Name undecided) He will be of Japanese/American origin. The history of Earth has changed in the story, and China has annexed Japan (And other smaller nations surrounding it) because of its mighty military power. America and China were still the only two remaining super powers, war was inevitable from China's side. America's actions were not known to the American public itself, so the start of the Chinese American war was something that was not easily understood by most Americans because of the corrupted information flow their government allowed the public to see. The boy being followed is an army brat. His father died in war, his mother he head no idea. Two years out of high school, he had run from military training because he did not want to suffer the fate of his father.
The girl (No name yet) is from one of the richest families in the U.S., they live next to a military base under protection of the US government. She is the daughter of a devious weapons contractor for the military, spawning several incidents in the story. The girl is the same age as the boy. She appears to think of herself as high and mighty, being spoiled for the most part of her life. This is not the case early on, shes very fragile and sweet on the inside. All she had been taught was to be the daughter of a very successful man, she only developed a mask over her true personality.

Ideas / Scenes
The first two meet along a fence line, separating the two from each other. The boy is inside the military base while the girl happened upon whilst walking. The girl had no intention of ever talking to him, in fact she had barely noticed him in his dark green jumpsuit. She was wearing all white, with a white parasol in her hands. Their paths never would have crossed again if she hadn't noticed him. The boy sitting comfortably against the chain-link fence was looking at something on his finger. It was a bird. This bird becomes a powerful symbol on the story between them. Upon closer inspection after speaking to the boy, she notices its not a real bird. But a robot. Bright green. It moved just like a real bird. She had never seen anything as realistic as this even with what was on the market. (I'll have to brainstorm more on this later. Barred for time as I'm writing this xP)
