Several years had passed since he had last seen everyone… Well, seven years since he had seen everyone in the same place? How would things change? What would everyone say? Doyle took a deep breath and stared out the window of the plane…
"Mom! May took off her seatbelt again!"
"Stupid kid, I always have to put this thing in autopilot 'cause of her."
"Now, May today seems like you have a death wish. Matthew, go move to the other side of the plane."
"Isn't somebody going to help out of this?" May exclaimed nervously as she glanced towards the front of the plane.
"If you want us both to die, then I'll help you." Doyle muttered as he continued to steer the plane.
Minutes passed they landed near the large mansion where they had all decided to meet… If everyone remembered, that is. Doyle sighed as he walked down the cobblestone path… If they lived in such a nice place, why weren't they so spoiled like so many other people that lived in that town? Anna sighed as she swung the door open because she already knew why they had come… And waiting was something that Caroline hated to do. Even though she had become something like a ghost that was off the grid… It had always been difficult for Isaac to get along with Caroline ever since they were kids. Even though they were brother and sister, twins to be exact. Anna took a deep breath as she watched Caroline enter the room. There is no way that this family visit will end well…
"So… Where is Isaac?" Caroline asked as she stopped to take off her shoes.
"Out. Isaac decided that today would be a good day to try and help Jasmine practice her Chikyu magic. They were also tired of waiting for something to happen." Anna replied as she walked toward the kitchen.
"English please." Caroline snapped as she followed Anna to the kitchen.
"You've grown up with Isaac; you have a 15 old niece that has been practicing that field of magic ever since she could walk. Go look it up, unless you're too much of an airhead to do that." Anna answered as she continued to stir her soup.
"We're back. Is there any more ice cold water left, Mama?" Jasmine asked as she rubbed her temples.
"Oh, welcome back. There probably should be some water left."
"I'm tired of trying to slow down the amount of monster sightings that popping up out of nowhere." Isaac remarked as he sat down in one of the chairs in the kitchen while he put his head down.
"You both look exhausted. How many monsters did you even fight?" Anna inquired as she set two glasses of ice tea on the table.
"We lost track. Besides, right now there's a heat wave so it would be probably be better if you just left Oba-chan." Jasmine remarked as she crashed into the nearest chair.
"Why? I thought you would-
"It's 90 degrees outside and I'm not in the mood to hear you nag about how hot it is. Besides, why would I want to see you after you acted like we didn't exist after 6 years?" Isaac pointed out as he stared at the ground.
"Holding in guilt will only make things worse… Even if many negative things happened wouldn't it be better if you just put behind you?"
