"Terra, I have a surprise for you!" Delbe called. "Really, what?" Terra asked. "Well, as long as you don't complain about Angel joining you, you, Angel, Elsie, Stephanie, and Bita will finish the school year in Japan with Nikki," Delbe (Terra's Uncle) said. "Really!" Terra yelled. "Quite, Terra," Delbe said. "Oh sorry, let me geuss you told me last?" terra asked. "Well, yeah they were here so I told them," Delbe said. "Oh well, When do we leave?" Terra asked. "Tomorrow morning," Delbe said. "Awesome, I'm gonna go pack then I'm gonna sleep!" Terra said excitedly. " How long is it going to take you to pack?" Delbe asked giving Terra a strange look. "Probably about two hours" Terra relyed after thinking a little. "Then you going to bed, Its only 4:00," Delbe said as Terra nodded, "So wait you're going to bed at 6:00?" "heh, well sleeping will make the time fly and plus I want to have a lot of sleep," Terra said. "Wow, good idea but then you won't get to spend time with Stephanie, Elsie, and Bita," Delbe said slyly. "Wait a sec., they're spending the night?" Terra yelled. "yes they are," Delbe said, "Oh and Terra Don't yell," "You suck," Terra said, "Now I can't sleep," Oh, well they'll be here by the time you're done packing," Delbe said, "So go, go, go." I'm a step ahead of you," Terra said walking up the stairs. While packing Terra was thinking about how great it was going to be to get away from a curtain family member. That family member would be the head of the family, Erica. Ever sice Terra was, well potty trained, she had to go to visit Erica every weekend. At Erica's home she would be 'punished'.

Terra asked softly. : of course not, you know there's more," Erica said voice raising and finally at her loudest she slapped Terra again. "I know, I know," Terra said Tears in her eyes.

Terra wiped a tear from her eye. All the memories still made her cry a little. She was getting used to it though. She wouldn't have to dell with it anymore or at least not until nest year. Terra then decided to stop thinking about Erica. Terra finished packing just as the doorbell rang. Terra ran downstairs to find that Angel, her 3rd cousin, had already answered the door. Now, Terra and Angel hated each other. Every person like them in their family did. "I was gonna answer the door you damn bull!" Terra yelled. " Well, you stupid cheetah, I got here first," Angel said calmly. "I dare you to say that again!" Terra yelled even louder. "stu – pid chee – tah," Angel said slowly. "That's it you're goin' down!" Terra yelled, then she tried to kick Angel in the head but angel cought her leg and sent her flying through the front door. "Why couldn't you two have taken that fight outside instead of breaking sown my door?" Delbe sighed. "sorry Delbe but she went after me," Angel explained. "Well , now that you've stopped fighting, we can all go have some fun," Stephanie said walking over and helping Terra up. "Thanks but I don't need your help," Terra said stubbornly. "oh, well I helped you anyway," Stephanie said," let's go have some fun." Terra gave Stephanie a strange look. "Not like that," Stephanie said after realizing that Terra was acting like Delbe. They both laughed and walked over to the others. "H-hi Terra how are you?" Bita asked politly. "Good, I guess, and you?" Tarra replied. "Good," Bita replied. "Hi, Elsie," Terra said. "Hi, we need to have a fight later," Elsie emotionlessly replied. "Maybe if I feel like it," Terra answered. "Well let's go," Stephanie said, "I wanna play twister." Everyone went to the living room. There they played twister, skipo, and Uno attack. They also watched some scary movies. They finally want to sleep at midnight.
6:00 A.M.
"Hey guys wake up you only have a half an hour to get ready," Delbe woke up the five teens. "What, what time does the plane leave?" Terra asked sleepily. "Oh well about 7:00," Delbe replied. "What, you sould have woke us earlier," Angel said getting up. Everyone got up and gor ready quickly. The doorbell rang at 6:40. Delbe answered it. "Oh hello, Chris," Delbe said. "Hello Delbert," Chris replied using Delbe's real name, "Are the girls ready?" "Yes we are," Stephanie said as they all walked out the door with their bags. "O.K., Put your bags in my van. Everyone put their bags in and went into the van as well. They all went to the airport including Delbe. Before They boarded the plane they all yelled, "Goodbye!" to Delbe and Chris who just waved. In about six hours they would arrive in Japan where they would get a little supprise.
