"Agh! I can't connect to Neon Alley!" Yelled an aggrivated Kenydi, death-gripping the Wii remote in her hand.

"Did you try the PS3? The Wii network might be down." Sakura asked, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Now shut up. I've got a headache." Kaitlyn and Marie bustled around the kitchen, pulling cookie trays out of the oven and putting different ones back in. Hinamori stood at the end of the counter in Kaitlyn's lush kitchen, icing cookies, when Julia jumped out of the doorway, causing the icing to smudge all over the latest Kon shaped cookie.

"Why, you! You just made me mess up! Now you're gonna get it!" Hinamori screamed at the girl.

"B-but...I didn't do anything!" Julia pleaded.

"You naive little idiot! You whacked my hand and the icing went everywhere!"

"I-I'm sorry, okay!? Don't hurt me!"

"SHUT UP!" Sakura exploded, punching them both on the top of the head.

"Why do we hang out with these freaks?" Marie asked.

"Don't ask me." Kaitlyn replied, just as her iPhone 4S rang. Her ringtone was Fast Forward by Monkey Majik. (Yes, I know that's not a Bleach song but I really like it, so...)

"Hello?"

"Hold on, Grimmjow what the hell 'er ya doin'?"

Grimmjow? "Wait who are you?"

"Well aren' ya stupid. Don't ya recognize my voice? Or did ya forget? I woulda thought yer too much of a fan to forget."

"No...you can't be. Anime characters aren't real...YOU'RE NOT REAL!" Kaitlyn yelled, tossing the phone across the living room where it landed safely on her dog's bed, scaring the living daylights out of the dog.

"What's your problem?" Sakura asked.

"Either some freak with a really weird Kyoto accent just called, or I got a call from Gin Ichimaru."

"Probably just some freak who knows who you are and what you like. Guys are always hitting on you. Remember that time we went to the skate park? You got hit on so bad it made Marky mad." Replied Sakura. Sakura was the most level-headed of the bunch. Most of the time. "Anyway, let's just have our karaoke now. My motrin is finally starting to kick in."

"Yeah! Kaitlyn's gonna sing first!" Julia exclaimed. Even though she was the youngest of the bunch, that didn't mean she was five years old. She was fifteen.

"No way. I can't sing. I'm terrible." Kaitlyn said, shying away.

"C'mon, you're not terrible. We'll play Harukaze, how's that?" Kenydi pleaded.

"A-Alright..." Kenydi hit play on the karaoke machine.

"Wow, you're awesome!" Sakura praised. Kaitlyn blushed. Kenydi flipped back to the news just as the signal went dead.

"Something must be wrong with the sattelite dish. I'll go on the roof and check it out." Kaitlyn said calmly, trying to catch her breath after the singing.

"Julia wants to come, too!" Julia exclaimed, bouncing after Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn and Julia finally made it to the roof, when they saw something that almost made them fall back down.

"Y-You're...it's not possible..." Kaitlyn waved her finger at the silver haired man standing on her roof.

"Grimmjow, I told ya not ta mess with wha' ya don' know."

"GRIMMKITTY!" Julia yelled with pure excitement and pounced on Grimmjow's back.

"H-Hey! What the hell?!" Grimmjow tried to shake off the over-excited Julia.

"Well, since ya can see us so well, wer' gonna have ta take ya to Lord Aizen."

"W-Why?"

"Well, we can't have people who can see us runnin' 'round here loose an' tellin' everyone 'bout us, can we?"

"Fine. Just let us pack." Kaitlyn dragged Julia off Grimmjow's back and down the fire escape. Back in the living room, Kaitlyn announced their trip. "Alright, everyone! We're going to Hueco Mundo!"

"You're joking." Sakura said, furrowing her eyebrows.

"No, she's not." Grimmjow said, poking his head in the window.

"Back to the roof!" Kaitlyn commanded. "Now go pack!" She saluted to the stairs.

What's in everyone's bags

Kaitlyn (a bright blue, medium-size train case): Lots of clothes, her bright blue laptop, all the English dubbed Bleach anime on dvd, a DeiDei plush, her 3DS, her Chappy slippers, her Yuki the duck footie pajamas, her chibi Ichigo blankie, her extra iPhone cases, and her Angry Birds giant pig pillow.

Julia (a pink and white bunny shaped suitcase): Clothes, her Kyo cat pillow, her iPod with it's Kon case, her Rock Lee plush, her Grimmkitty plush, a winnie the pooh blankie, her Chappy footie pajamas, and her bunny ears.

Hinamori (a train case with a picture of a peacock on it): Clothes, her 3DS, a quarter of her manga collection, her iPhone, Bleach skull candy ear buds, a bag of catnip (just because she can), her Arrancar pajamas, her Momiji bunny plush, her Gaara slippers, and her Kon blanket

Sakura (a pink train case with a wood block print of a cherry blossom tree): Clothes, her Kingdom Hearts video game collection, her PS3, her PSP, her Collecter's edition Bleach volume 1 hardcover, random books, and her eBook

Marie (a small light blue suitcase with white feathers): Clothers, her favourite books, some manga, her Bleach character books, her Vampire Knight fanbook, the medicine bag (Kaitlyn and Julia's ADHD pills, Kaitlyn's inhaler, Sakura's sleeping pills, Sakura's headache pills, and Hinamori's temper control pills), her laptop, and her favourite pillow and blanket set.

Sakura, Hinamori, and Kenydi started pulling suitcases into the back of Sakura's red mega cab dodge pickup. They had decided to take Sakura's truck, because the only two who had their own cars were Sakura and Kenydi, and Kenydi drove a tiny, two-seater South Korean electric car. It could hardly fit two comfortably, let alone eight people and six suitcases. Gin, Grimmjow, Sakura, Kaitlyn, Hinamori, Marie, Julia, and Kenydi all hopped in. Gin and Grimmjow sat on the floor, Sakura sat in the front passenger seat, and Hinamori, Marie, Kenydi, Kaitlyn, and Julia sat closely in the back seat. Gin opened a Garganta from within the truck, and Sakura revved the engine. They were off.
