It had been a year since Jackie had joined Miyuki and Alex's family. A few months after the vacation Alex regained all her memories back which they all celebrated. It was now the first day of winter vacation for Jackie she yawned as she woke up and took a quick shower. She went downstairs dressed and smiled seeing Miyuki and Alex on the couch cuddling. "Don't you two cuddle enough in bed?" She asked smiling as she went over hugging them.

"Good morning" Alex said smiling as she stretched a little "I didn't expect you to be out of the bed before noon, I'm impressed it's only seven" Alex said. Jackie laughed "Same here, but I don't know" Jackie said as she sat there thinking "Oh I bet your excited that Shizuma and Nagisa are coming in to stay with us" Alex said. Jackie blushed "That's today I totally forgot" She lied.

Miyuki laughed "I'll make some breakfast" she said as she went to the kitchen leaving Alex and Jackie in the living room. "This is about Sara isn't it" Alex said, Jackie let out a sigh and nodded "Very much, I just I dunno, I mean I should have guessed it wouldn't last but still" Jackie said as she sat down. Alex smiled "Hey you're still young, you'll find someone" Alex said. Jackie nodded as she yawned "Oh that reminds me Shizuma's younger sister is tagging along" Alex said.

"Sweet so, I'll have someone my age to hangout with" Jackie said. Alex nodded they went into the kitchen helping Miyuki. "Please tell Shizuma that I'm sorry I'm not able to pick her up at the airport" Miyuki said as she had finished with the dishes from breakfast. "I will" Alex said as she took a sip of coffee. Miyuki then kissed her and left to go to the Cafe.

Before Alex knew it they were on their way to the airport, Jackie was quiet looking at the scenery. When they arrived they founds Shizuma and Nagisa Jackie jumped out and started to load their luggage "Where's your sister?" Alex asked. Shizuma smiled "You had to use the restroom she should be out soon" Shizuma said. Jacking had picked up a suitcase when she looked up.

Standing in front of her was another teen, she was slightly taller then Jackie she had silver hair that went to her neck and Amber color eyes. Jackie just seemed to freeze for a second this had to be Shizumas sister. She quickly looked down and finished loading the car. When everyone was in the car they drove off "Shizuma smiled "Alex, Jackie I want you to meet Sumei my sister" Shizuma said.

"Its nice to meet you Sumei" Alex said, Jackie looked back "Yes its nice to meet you" Jackie said. "And it is a pleasure meeting both of you, Thank You for letting me come along with Shizuma" She said softly. Jackie noticed her voice was like velvet much like Shizumas. "So I heard you and Sara broke up, I'm sorry to hear that how are you dealing with it" Shizuma asked.

"Okay I guess, I just I don't' know" Jackie said as she closed her eyes "I knew it was going to happen, but It still hurts" She said. Shizuma nodded, once at the house Jackie unloads the car putting the luggage in the rooms that were assigned Shizuma and Nagisa would be in the bedroom next to Alex and Miyuki. Sumei would have the room next to Jackie.

Jackie and Sumei were in the game room, it held different board games and a ping pong table. Jackie sat there and Sumei stood there looking out the window "So where do you go to school?" Sumei asked as she turned and took a seat Jackie looked up "I go to Willow High what about you?" Jackie asked. Sumei smiles "I got to St. Miator" She replied softly.

Jackie nodded "The same school Shizuma and Miyuki went too" She said. Sumei nodded "Yes, and I am running to be an Etoile as well like Shizuma" She said. Jackie looked at her "What's an Etoile?" she asked. Sumei smiled "The Etoile is a pair of students that are best in the three schools, I am running this year for Miator" She replied.

"Three schools what are the other two?" Jackie asked, "You have St. Spica Miator's rivals and then St. Lulim" Sumei replied. "Wow, the only thing we have is like home coking King and Queen but that's nothing really" Jackie said. Sumei nodded "The Etoile's have duties to perform; we help make decisions for the school"

Jackie nodded she could see that Sumei was watching her "You know there are many beautiful girls who I go to school with, but your beautiful out shines them all" Sumei said. Jackie blushed "I...I don't see how" She said. Sumei smiled " I think I am going to retire to my room for a nap, I didn't' sleep much on the plane" She said. Jackie nodded as she watched Sumei leave.

Shizuma, Nagisa and Alex were downstairs drinking some coffee "Tell me Alex, what is on your mind you seem to be fighting with yourself" Shizuma said. Alex looked up "Well, if you must know I'm thinking about moving to Japan, Miyuki misses it even though she doesn't say. I've sent my resume to a few different Motorcycles companies in Japan as well hoping to hear something from them. But I haven't told Miyuki of Jackie" Alex said.

"Ah which companies?" Shizuma asked. Alex thought a moment "Suzuki, Yamaha, and Zono" She said. "Ah I knew it, my father seen your resume he simply loved it. Then one of the office assistants lost it" Shizuma said. "But Let me call him and tell him I found the mystery applicant" She said.

"Zono Motorcycle industries how can I help you?"

"Yes I would like to speak with Hiro Hanazono please"

"I'm sorry he is in a meeting right now I can leave a message"

"I don't care if he is in a meeting I need to speak with right now I am his daughter"

"Oh right away"

"Shizuma this better be good"

"Dad I found the Mystery applicant Its Miyuki's Girlfriend"

"Oh that's great tell her she has the job, I want her to start as soon as she gets over here"

Shizuma smiled "You're hired, father says we wants you to start as soon as you get to Japan" She said smiling. Alex nodded "I guess I should break the news to Miyuki and Jackie but who first" She said with a sigh. "Well I guess you've already broke then news to me" Jackie said coming down the steps. Alex looked up "Well what do you think?" She asked.

Jackie smiled "Are you kidding me, were going to live in Japan that sounds amazing" She said. "Then its time to break the news to Miyuki" Alex said. "Sumei is asleep so I'll stay here" Jackie said, Alex nodded as she Shizuma and Nagisa left. Jackie went back upstairs and sat in her room to think, she was moving, new start, and a new slate this made her smile.

Alex was sitting in the break room with Shizuma and Nagisa, Miyuki came in and smiled "Sarah said you wanted to see me" She said. Alex nodded "I got a job" She said Miyuki smiled "That's great where?" She asked Alex thought a moment "Zono Motorcycle Industries" She said Miyuki looked at her "You got a job in Japan" She said she seemed excited but sat down "I see" She said.

Alex looked at Miyuki "Are you mad?" She asked looking at her, since Miyuki wasn't talking. Miyuki looked up "No, I'm just surprised, I mean you were talking about working for Harley and everything this comes to a surprise" She said. Alex nodded "Jackie loves the idea, and I knew you wanted to go home so I felt if I got a job you could" She said.

Miyuki smiled "We'll have to find a place to stay, I could fly back and look if you want" She said. "Actually I own a house and I'm looking for some roommates the place is huge for just Nagisa and myself" Shizuma said. Miyuki smiled "Do you have two rooms free?" She asked. Shizuma nodded "Yes, we were going to look for room mates but I guess we found them" She said smiling.

Jackie was coming out of her room when she noticed Sumei "Hey are you hungry?" She asked. Sumei nodded "I am I was waiting for you to come out before I went down" She said. Jackie smiled as they went down "What do you want?" She asked. Sumei thought a moment "I'll have what ever you get" She said. Jackie nodded as she made two sandwiches, putting chips on the side and getting some water for them.

Jackie watched as Sumei ate "So where is everyone?" She asked "They went to the café to tell Miyuki were moving" She said smiling. Sumei nodded "Where will you be moving to if I may ask?" She said. "Japan" Jackie said smiling "Alex got a job at Zono Motorcycle industries" She replied. "So Alex will be working at my one of my fathers companies that nice" She said.

Jackie nodded "Yeah, I wonder what school I'll be going too" She said as she sat there thinking. She had picked up on Japanese faster the Alex since Miyuki was teaching them. Sumei noticed this "I wonder as well" She said smiling "It would be nice if you went to Miator" She said. Jackie laughed "I don't think I could get in there its expensive and I'm almost finished with school so yeah" She said.

Sumei nodded "I see" She said as she sat there, "You and Shizuma look like twins" Jackie said. Sumei chuckled "We get that a lot, tell me what about you and Alex you two seem to have nothing in common" She said. Jackie nodded "Until last year I lived with my mom and step dad then they got a divorce, Alex took me in because well it would have been bad either situation" She said.

Sumei nodded "I see" She said "I'm glad you're here then" She said. Jackie heard the door open and she seen Shizuma, Nagisa, Alex, and Miyuki enter. "Okay start packing were going to spend the holidays in Japan" Alex said. Miyuki laughed "We still have to find a school for Jackie" Miyuki said. Alex nodded "I forgot about that" She said as she they sat at the table.

"Why not Miator?" Shizuma asked, Sumei seemed to smile "I think it would be a good choice I mean you only have two years of school left" Miyuki said. "Plus you good in Japanese and French since I hear French is a required class" Alex said. "But what about the money" Jackie said. Miyuki smiled "If you ant to go there I can take it out of my account, plus it's a nice school to go too and Colleges and works places grab for girls that go there" She said.

Jackie nodded "I don't mind, I just want to put you guys in a pinch" She said. Shizuma smiled "We live close to the school so you can walk there if you want or I can take you" She said. Jackie nodded "It sounds like a plan, I've got the number for my school lets call and get my records" She said. Alex nodded "Alright then after tonight were packing and moving" She said.

"What about passports love?" Miyuki asked. Alex smiled "I already have them, I told you I was planning for this so I got them three months ago" She said. Miyuki shook her head "You surprise me" She said. "I'll go call the school" Miyuki said "I'm going to pack" Jackie declared.
