Kim/Ayumu's POV

There we were. On the airport trying to spend some time until our flight would finally leave. We were a few hours early for our flight, blame the excitement, so we walked around aimlessly. Luckily we were allowed to stash our luggage behind the flight desk near our gate so we didn't have to carry those around the entire time.

After today we would no longer be in our boring little country. After today we would be official students of an exclusive, notorious all-girls school in Japan called St. Blossoms. We were part of an exchange program and were lucky enough to land such a wonderful opportunity.

After walking around and getting kicked out of some shops because we were too giddy and loud, we decided to wait at Starbucks until we had to make our way to the gate. Luckily we already killed enough time so there was just half an hour left four us to wait. We could do that.

"Aaah!" Jessie sighed as she stretched her arms, "I can't believe we're going to Japan! For an entire year!"

I nodded, "I know! I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm actually excited for school!"

Even though I knew school was kind of important, I still hated going. Just like any other normal teenager. But this was a very exciting exception. After all, this school was located in my favorite country ever and it would be so much different from what we're used to.

"The only con to this all is that St. Blossoms is an all-girl school," Jessie sighed, "It would've been even better if it was co-ed."

"Yeah..." I grinned, "But I heard the sibling school is filled with talented ikemen. They're supposed to be accepted on their looks instead of grades."

"Hot dimwits, every girl's fantasy," she giggled with a nod before taking another sip of her macchiato.

After finishing our drinks we decided to head for the desk to get our luggage, check them in and get to our gate to get on the plane. We were so close I could actually feel the Tokyo vibe, all the way from the other side of the world.

We exited Starbucks and headed for the desk when Jessie stopped and crouched down to pick something up.

"Look, how cute!" she smiled as she held up a small, cute keyhanger. "And it's so soft!" She petted the little animal-like toy.

"Did your mother never tell you not to pick up things from the ground?" I frowned at her back as she stared at the object she had just found.

"These things are really populair in Japan, you know."

"So?" I asked.

"So, how lucky that we found it on the ground here..." she smiled as she stood up to show me the keychain.

"I guess someone must have lost it then," I shrugged as I looked at the thing for a moment. It wasn't that special looking, typical cute toy you'd find in most Japanese stores.

"Think I could keep it?" she then smiled and looked at me, "Like the five-second rule?"

"Doesn't that only apply to food though?" I asked thoughtfully, "But why not? The person who lost it probably didn't even notice or doesn't even care, either way, finders keepers."

We were just about to turn around when we bumped into three men wearing black tuxedoes. Now that I think of it, they actually looked Japanese. Hmm, would they send special guidance for us? That'd be nice. But why were they all wearing sunglasses. Inside? That made no sense whatsoever.

"Could you give me that?" he asked in his best english, assuming we couldn't speak Japanese. Assuming he was indeed Japanese, after all, you can't judge a book by its cover no matter how obvious.

"Is it yours?" Jessie asked who probably didn't want to give it back since she was so happy she found something like this. But we could just buy a new one when we're in Japan, right? Unless they're really expensive.

The man raised his hand and revealed that he was holding a gun which he pointed to us. Wow, talk about over-reacting. Why was that man carrying a gun and what was so important that he wanted a lousy keyhanger that he would even think about pointing a gun at us in the middle of such a crowded area.

"Ah!" I then smiled as I suddenly figured it out, "I know what this is!" I turned to Jessie who stared at me with a confused look, "You're filming a scene, right? This is a set-up!"

"Ah, you're right," she smiled, "We're part of a hidden camera show!"

"Where's the camera?" I asked with a smile as I looked around. There were no obvious hiding spots that I could think of at the moment so I turned to the man with the gun, "Ah, is this it?" I smiled as I approached the gun and stuck my finger in the hole for a second. Surely there must have been a camera hidden inside, to make it extra dramatic. Or maybe it was built inside their glasses which would explain why he was wearing them inside in the first place.

The man raised the gun to the ceiling and fired a shot. Out of surprise and even fear we both jumped back and held onto each other as we stared up for a second. I wondered why no one else had looked up, apparently this was normal for them? Or was everyone in on the joke?

"Tell me this isn't real," Jessie gasped as she turned her head back to the three suited man in front of us. The first guy pointed his gun back to us and waited. Alright, maybe this wasn't a hidden camera show. Or this was still part of the plot because we found out about it. But why didn't anyone else react to the gunshot?

'Attention all travelers, flight 249 heading for Tokyo is now boarding at gate B'

Suddenly, Jessie pulled on my arm and made a run for it. I don't think running from three guys with a gun is such a great idea but I had no choice since she was pulling me behind her.

"What are you doing?" I asked as I ran as fast as I could without tripping over my own feet.

"We need to get to the gate," she yelled back as we ran through another crowd of people heading for their flight.

As fast as we could we tried to get through and cut a few people to get to our gate.

"May I see your passes?" the attendant asked as we stopped in line and turned around to look for the men. But they were no where to be seen. Maybe we really lost them, or maybe they decided to give up on the joke, or maybe they would pop up in the plane to tell us that it was all a joke and that we had won something. I mean, that must have been the only logic explanation for this entire situation, right?


Jessie/Michiyo's POV

Ah, the airport. It's been a while since I've been here, but I'm quite happy that I'm back. I'm not here for a vacation though, no, I'm here because we're, Kim and I, are going to a school in Japan! How cool is that? I really can't wait till we get there.

After we finished our drinks in the Starbucks, we're walking towards the desk, since we're leaving in a couple of minutes and we still had to check in our suitcases. On our way there, something on the ground spots my eye. I crouch down before it and pick it up. It's a small, cute key hanger, which looks a lot like the ones I saw on a Japanese website. Ah, I always wanted one of these!

"Look, how cute!" I smile and I hold up the key hanger, so Kim can see it more clearly. "And it's so soft!" I pet the key hanger for a moment, discovering that it really is soft. Now I just need to have it.

"Did your mother never tell you not to pick up things from the ground?" Kim said, but I'm to captivated in this little object. It's just so cute!

"These things are really populair in Japan, you know," I say, trying to convince her I really need to have it.

"So?" she asks.

"So, how lucky that we found it on the ground here..." I smile and I stand up to show her the keychain. It's even prettier if you hold it up into the light!

"I guess someone must have lost it then," she shrugs and she looks at the keychain. Ah, that's promising!

"Think I could keep it?" I smiled hopeful and I look at her. "Like the five-second rule?"

"Doesn't that only apply to food though?" she asks thoughtfully, "But why not? The person who lost it probably didn't even notice or doesn't even care, either way, finders keepers."

Happy I can keep it, we turn around to continue our ways to the desk, but we bump into three man wearing suits... and sunglasses. I just want to apologise and walk further, but the man look at us with a serious look. Seriously, it isn't that bad to bump into one another, right? No harm done? Right?

"Could you give me that?" one of the man asks me. His English is cute crappy if I have to be honest, but, come to think of it, he doesn't look English. He looks more Japanese. Eh, they lost this keychain? Three grown up men? Don't make me laugh.

"Is it yours?" I ask the man, since I don't believe the fact they lost this keychain. Plus, I don't want to give it away, finders keepers.

The man raises his hand and pushes his jacket aside for a moment. A gun. Eh? What was this? He took the gun out and pointed it at us. Was this keychain so important? I didn't see anything extraordinary about it. I look around for a bit, but no one looks up. It's as if we aren't here for real and this is just all a dream. Please, let it be a dream.

"Ah!" Kim smils and I look at her weirdly. Why is she smiling? "I know what this is!" She turns at me. "You're filming a scene, right? This is a set-up!"

"Ah, you're right," I smile. This has to be a hidden camera prank! "We're part of a hidden camera show!"

"Where's the camera?" Kim asks while she looks around. I do the same, the camera's must be somewhere... only not that visible of course. I can't find a camera, so they must've hid it very well. Props to them. "Ah, is this it?" Kim smiles and she sticks her finger in the hole of the gun. Ah! That must be it. It's not visible, but since it's pointed at our faces it has to be a camera!

The man, not even reacting to our talking, raises the gun to the ceiling and fires a shot. Kim and I jump back, eh? It was loaded? It wasn't a camera? Why would he shoot and why didn't anyone notice? No one even looked up, not even the security!

"Tell me this isn't real," I gasp and I look at the three suited man in terror. This is beginning to look like a bad movie! The man points his gun towards us again and I just stand frozen to the ground. I can't move. This isn't happening, this isn't happening!

'Attention all travelers, flight 249 heading for Tokyo is now boarding at gate B'

That's our flight! Quickly I take Kim's arm and make a run for it. Maybe that wasn't the best idea, but it was the only thing I could come up with in this short time. It isn't like we got hours to think about a good exit to leave these men, so.

"What are you doing?" she asks, but she's also running as fast as she can.

"We need to get to the gate," I yell back, knowing that if we're in the plane we'll be safe again. Plus, the flight attendants must take notice of three suspicious looking men in suits running after two young girls, right? I put the keychain in my pocket, keeping it safe from falling out.

"May I see your passes?" the attendant asks when we stop in line. I get out the tickets when Kim looks around, but she doesn't look worried, so I can safely think we lost them. The woman behind the desk takes our tickets, looks at them, nods, rips something off and gives them back to us. We happily take it and quickly get in the hall that leads to the airplane.

"What was that?" I ask, still out of breath. The lady behind the desk must've thought we were just hurrying or something.

"I have no clue," she answers. "But it totally ruined my day!" she sighs.

I nod. "I know how you feel."

I just decided to act like nothing happened, since it looks like they didn't follow us. Besides, they can't get past the security to get into this plane, so we're safe. I just hope we're still safe when we arrive in Japan, since those men is suits looked Japanese. But they could've been Korean or Taiwanese too. I don't know. I don't even think they know which flight we had. Or maybe they thought it was suspicious I started to run when I heard the attendant say something about our flight. Still, we're safe now, so no worries.

We give our ticket to the flight attendant in the airplane and she points us to our seats. I nod politely and walk to our seats, after which I take my hand luggage and put it in the box above us. Then, something crosses my mind.

"Kim," I say and I look at her. She's already taken her seat by the window. "Our suitcases."

"What?" her eyes widen. "Oh my God, we forgot all about them!"

"What do we do now?" I ask while I take place in the seat next to her. Without our suitcases, we didn't have clothes, make-up or toilet bags. We didn't have anything except for the things that we're in our hand luggage which was, luckily, all we needed to actually survive in a new country.

"Uhm. Uhm. Uhm..." she says thoughtfully. "I don't know! It's not like I expected this to happen..." she sighs.

I just nod. "I know," is say while I fasten my seatbelt, since the light started to burn. Kim does the same. "Let's just wait till we arrive there and contact the airport from there."

She nods too and I take my phone out of my pocket. I put it on airplane mode and take my ear buds, after which I look at Kim again. "Let's try to sleep while we're flying. It's going to be a long flight."

With these words I put my ear buds in my ear and press play, after which I close my eyes. I can't wait 'till we're in Japan. I just want to forgot about those three men in their suits, looking all weird and stuff. They're just a nightmare, nothing more. Nothing to worry about.
