Chapter one

Coming to America

A few people she didn't even know were coming to America for a reason she had no idea about. All she knew was that she had to show them around and cater to their every whim.

She was afraid. Very afraid.

-Flashback-

"Katie, could you come in here for a second?"

Katie stopped what she was doing and came into the room. Her mother was sitting on the couch looking worried with the phone held to her shoulder. Katie sat down cautiously and looked at her mother. Taking a deep breath her mother spoke:

"I need you to do something."

"What do you want me to do? Take out the trash?"

"Er...No."

"Oh no, don't tell me its "change the catbox day."!" She groaned and was about to tell her mother that she just did it two weeks ago but she decided against it.

"I completely trust you and everything so please do this for me."

"Alright." Katie took a deep breath."What is it?"

"My friend needs her son and a couple of his friends to come here."

Katie just blinked. "Uh huh. And?"

"And they're going to stay here and you need to watch them while I go on my important trip."

"Uh huh." Katie was never told what her mother's important trip was about or how long it was going to be. "How old are they exactly?"

"They're fifteen."

"So, I have to babysit people my age...?" That was just weird. She was used to babysitting younger kids not people her age.

"Well, I guess they're...How should I put this? Different I guess. Or at least that's what Yelan told me. And there's the fact that they're foreign"

"Yelan? Wait..Isn't that, like, Chinese?" This was the first time Katie ever heard her mother's friend's name.

"Yes. Now look, Katie," Her mother became serious. "This is very important. I need you to cater to their every whim and show them around. And you don't have to worry about language since they learned English. I'm not sure how long I'll be gone so I trust you to watch over the house and the guests until I get back."

"Wait, I'm not old enough to take care of a house."

"That's why your aunt is staying with you and the guests."

"Oh." Her aunt was great and everything but she always ended up being busy with her job so she was never around during the day.

"Ok, is there anything else?" It was amazing how calm she was but she wanted to be strong for her mother and not trouble her in any way. Plus she could panic when her mom wasn't around.

"One more thing. They're coming tomorrow."

"What! Tomorrow!" Katie thought she was officially going to lose it. 'Keep your cool. Be strong for mom...'

"Yes, their plane lands at seven. Your aunt is going to take you to the airport at six o' clock so set your alarm clock ok?"

Katie sighed and began taking all of it in. "Ok, mom. You can count on me!" She plastered a fake smile on her face.

Her mother smiled at her, oblivious that her daughter's smile was fake, before getting back on the phone. "Yes, she'll do it. Yes, she's a great kid and very trustworthy, no need to worry." She began chatting on the phone again as Katie walked out of the room.

-End flashback-

"How could she do that to me! Ugh!" Katie fell on her bed and sighed deeply. She lifted her head to look at the clock on her desk. The big red numbers read 10:30. "Well, better get ready for bed. I mean, I do have a busy day tomorrow.." She mumbled and got ready for bed. While she was getting ready for bed the plane her guests were arriving on was on its way.

-------------

"Katie! Wake up!"

Katie was awakened by some obnoxious banging on her door. She groaned and rolled over to look at her clock. The numbers were a blur at first until she rubbed the sleep away from her eyes. She gasped loudly for the clock read 5:55. Maybe she forgot to set her alarm?

"HOLY CRAP!" She shrieked and jumped out of bed. Her aunt was waiting downstairs, listening to Katie bang around frantically and immediately knew that Katie just woke up. Her aunt looked at her watch and sighed.

"We're going to be late! Come on Katie!" She yelled up the stairs, hoping it would help Katie to move even faster. It must have worked since Katie came running down the stairs holding her brush.

"Lets go Auntie!"

-------

"How am I supposed to find them if I don't even know what they look like?" Katie asked herself. She was standing by herself in the airport since her aunt left her to go use the restroom. She sighed and put a finger on her chin and went deep into thought. It took her a minute to come with something, even though it might be a tad bit on the weird side. Looking around in her aunt's purse she pulled out a notebook and a pen and wrote her name in big letters. She then pulled out some tape and taped her big name tag to her. Her aunt's purse, luckily, was like an office. It was amazing how someone could get lost in something like that.

"Flight 95 from Japan is now landing." A voice boomed through the intercom.

"That's my cue!" Katie stood up and looked at the gate. Her aunt still hasn't come back but the restrooms were pretty far from that particular gate. The plane landed and passengers started coming out. People started to crowd around the gate to wait for their acquaintances so she could no longer see. She huffed and stood on her chair to scope out her soon to be house mates. Five teens came out in a little group.

"That must be them!" Katie started waving her hands. It took her a little while but she finally got their attention. Unfortunately, she caught their attention at the worst time. While waving her arms she lost her balance and fell off her chair. However, she had no time to be embarrassed since those five teens were crowded around her and asking if she was ok.

"Here, let me help you." A girl with black hair held out her hand. When Katie took it, the girl hoisted her up and smiled at her. "I'm Meiling. It's nice to meet you Katie." She shook Katie's hand and Katie smiled at her.

"Nice to meet you too!" She looked at the other four and smiled at them.

A girl with long violet hair walked towards Katie and shook her hand. "I'm Tomoyo. Nice to meet you!" Tomoyo brought a girl with short auburn hair over to Katie and she shook her hand. "And this is my best friend Sakura."

Sakura beamed at Katie. "It's so nice to meet you! I can't wait till you show us around!" She looked back at the two boys. "Eriol! Syaoran! come over here!" The two boys walked over and shook Katie's hand.

-----

"Well, how was your flight?" Katie asked them as they waited for their bags. It was a little crowded at the baggage claim so they had to squeeze through to get to the front. A few people complained and started pushing back.

Syaoran shrugged. "It was ok."

"I wish people wouldn't push!" Sakura was being pushed around more than any of them. Someone pushed her too hard and Sakura ended up on the conveyer belt.

"Wahh!" Sakura shrieked and everyone turned to stare at the shrieking girl. There were a few gasps as well.

"Sakura!" Her best friend began to panic.

Katie got on the conveyer belt and pursued Sakura.

"Give me your hand!" Katie told her when she got close enough. Sakura grabbed Katie's hand and she pulled Sakura to her. They were about to get off when someone told one of the staff members about the incident and they pushed the wrong button for the conveyer belt went faster. They both fell down with an "oof!" and everyone gasped loudly. More people crowded around to watch the two girls struggle on the conveyer belt.

Now, unfortunately, they made a scene. A big one at that.

"Are you ok?" Sakura asked Katie when she recomposed herself.

"Oh, yeah, I'm just peachy." She tried getting up but ended up falling back down. "Ow..." She mumbled.

"Um...Katie?"

"What?"

"We're heading for that hole and I don't think that's a good thing..."

Katie looked over and saw they were getting closer to hole. "No, Sakura, it's not.."

They both looked at each other before yelling.

"Holy craaaaaaaaaaaap!"

"Hoeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

-------

They weren't sure how many suitcases came flying at them but they knew the pain. Big time. After airport security stopped the belt, Sakura and Katie tumbled off and groaned.

"So many suitcases..." They both said feeling a little dizzy.

The four teens ran over to them with concern written all over their faces. They were soon followed by Katie's aunt.

"Oh my...what happened here? Oh, I'm Katie's aunt by the way.." She looked down at the two girls the whole time.

Katie came back to her senses and sat up quickly. She immediately felt pain when she did so. "Owwie..Auntie! Finally! Hey Sakura, wakey wakey." She shook the dazed girl laying beside her.

Sakura groaned and sat up. "Ow...What?"

"Meet my auntie." Katie pointed to her aunt as she held out her hand.

"Nice to meet you Sakura!" Katie's aunt said while smiling.

Sakura shook it then looked at her friends. "Ugh! Did you see that?"

Tomoyo helped her best friend up and hugged her. "I'm so glad you're ok."

Katie stood up and brushed herself off. "Can we go home now?"

Her aunt nodded and led them to the car.
