Ellie sighed as she looked out over the city of Tokyo. It had been four years since she had moved away from her best friends, and it was at times like this, when she could see beautiful landscapes spread out before her, that she missed them the most. She turned away with another sigh, her eyes passing over a man who was a dead ringer for 'Redo as she started to walk towards the elevator –

Wait a minute.

She took another look at the man, her eyes widening. "Laredo?"

His shoulders stiffened, and he turned to face her, his face lighting in recognition. "Elantra!" Two strides brought the muscular young man close enough to envelop her in the bone-crushing bear hug that was his trademark.

Laughing, Ellie squirmed free and grinned up at him. "Of all the places to run into a blast from my past! What are you doing here?"

"Vacation," he replied. "I remembered you said Tokyo Tower was a great place to visit, and since I found myself in Japan, I decided to give it a go."

She nodded, and realised that she was looking for the third member of their little group. "How's Camry?" she asked, looking back up at Laredo.

The tall man sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I haven't seen him in two years. He pulled a disappearing act right after graduation, and nobody's heard from him since then."

"Possibly because I wanted it that way."

Startled, Laredo and Ellie turned to see a slender young man watching them and smirking. He raised his right hand in a casual salute and added, "Yo."

"Camry, you son of a –" Laredo began, only to be cut off by Ellie's happy cry and pounce-hug of the smaller man. Camry hugged her back, looking at Laredo with an expression that said, Later. Laredo nodded, then grinned and clapped him on the shoulder. "It's been way too long since we three were together. Let's get something to eat and catch up."

"All right!" Ellie cried, releasing her other friend. "I know the perfect –"

A burst of light cut her off, breaking into flashes of red, blue, and green that enveloped each of them, then vanished, leaving empty space where the trio had been seconds before…
