After the breach was destroyed, thanks to the Gipsy danger pilots, my life can finally go back to normal. No need to start worrying about Kaijus, no need to feel tense all day. I could just sit back and relax.

The Grand Canyon. I always loved it when I was little, always wanted to go. Since the first Kaiju had attacked the earth, I moved to the Grand Canyon. Stayed in the National park for 6 years. It was the best 6 years of my life. The Grand Canyon was away from the ocean, but it was never away from the Chaos. People were talking, people watched the news. It was horrible to watch buildings fall, people screaming on the television. The past years were horrible.

But the war clock is over. It's done. No Kaiju will invade our home, ever again.

My phone rang on the bed side table of my hotel room. I looked at it. My mom. Should I ignore? Or answer it. I sighed and ran my hand through my messy brown hair and answered.

"What do you want." I whined in the phone.

"For god sakes Caroline. You're 23 now and you sound like a teenager." My mom screeched in the phone.

"Tell me what you want or I'll hang up." I threatened.

"Well, you know my boyfriend for the past few years?" My mom asked.

"Yeah. The rich bastard, yes." I said.

My mom sighed and continued, "Well, we are getting MARRIED!"

I froze. There getting married? "Since when?" I asked.

"Oh, a few months ago after the war was over. He asked and I said yes! I tried to contact you but you kept on ignoring me... until now." She said.

"Okay then... congrats?" I said with an uneasy tone.

"Thank you, honey! Now, we're actually going to have our reception party in the Grand Canyon. I know you love that place and we haven't seen you for so long so I was like, why not there? And he said that's fine with me, so we're going to the Grand Canyon!" She screamed.

"Mom. Just cut to the chase. When is the wedding?" I asked. Even though I hated my family, I still couldn't miss my own mother's wedding, even though that sound like torture.

"So you're coming?" She asked.

I rolled my eyes, "Uh yeah."

"Great! The wedding is going to be in 5 days. It'll be in Half moon bay. You know, near San Francisco? There's a beautiful Ritz there right next to the Pacific ocean!" She shouted in the phone.

San Francisco. The first attack of a Kaiju. Killed thousands and broke the golden gate bridge. Pacific ocean. The portal of our world and their world were inside that ocean. Where else can my mom find that doesn't have any history with Kaijus.

I sighed, "Okay, whatever. I'll be there."

She screeched again, "Thank you so much honey! I love you so much! You're sister is going to be there too, with her new boyfriend. God, she's gotten a lot lately. Have you?"

"No. I have no boyfriend. I've been staying in the Grand Canyon for the past few years. Finishing off some college things and trying to find a job." I said coldly.

My mom sighed, "Well, that's to bad. I was hoping to meet some special boy..."

"Forget. I'll be at that ritz place in 5 days for your wedding. You better be happy." I said.

"Alright, I'll see you then. I lo-" I cut my mom off.

Time to get packed, get checked out, catch an airplane and leave this place.

Walking to the check in area of the Phoenix airport was buzzed with happiness. Everyone was so glad that the war was finally over, talking and chatting about how they thought it would never end. I went to the self check in and checked myself in. A guy came over and put the tags on my luggage and sent it off. I grabbed my boarding ticket and lined up in the security.

I looked up and saw Raleigh Becket with an interviewer on the news. No one knew where Mako went but we all knew that she was one of the pilots that destroyed the breach.

Those eyes. Those beautiful turquoise eyes were looking at the T.V screen. A perfect smile on his face. When he talked his voice was husky and low sending shivers down my spine.

I looked away and handed the woman my passport and boarding past. She looked at it, stamped and let me pass. I put my bag down with my shoes in a box and stepped into the security machine. It scanned me and I was clear to go. A woman checked my pony tail and let my pass. I grabbed my bag and put my shoes back on and went to the nearest Starbucks I could find.

Grabbing a Grande Mocha and sitting on a free chair in the shop, I looked into my iPhone screen. I scrolled through news updates, job interviews and searched "Half moon bay, Ritz Carlton."

I gasped when I saw the hotel. It was beautiful. Right on the edge of the ocean there was a gold course, a swimming pool area and of course the Hotel itself. The hotel looked like a castle. So grand, beautiful. I had a little feeling of excitement rushing through my veins.

Half an hour later of searching for information about the hotel, I had to board. I lined up and waited for my ticket to be scanned. I was heading to San Francisco, flying United. I walked into the tiny airplane and sat on my seat. The plane was one of those tiny United Express planes that only had 3 seats in each row. A guy walked up to me and sat down next to me. He was wearing black sunglasses that made it hard to see his eyes. A hat covering his hair, although I could see strands of dirty blonde hair coming out. He seemed tense when I was watching him. He coughed, his voice a little sandy and opened a book to read. He seemed taller than me, very masculine and fit. I shrugged my shoulders and looked out of the window.

A few minutes later, we were flying in the sky. The flight was only an hour and we got there in no time.

I went down to the baggage claim area and grabbed my luggage. I walked with it towards the Hertz rental bus. I waited a bit for passengers to get on and we headed off to the rental cars area. Luckily, I had the money to rent a car because I worked in the National park for those 6 years. I got a good pay which means I could live my life and maybe do some extra things too.

The woman gave me my car number and I walked over to my yellow Camaro that I rented. I loved Camaros, especially in California it felt nice to rent one. I chucked my luggage in the trunk and turned on the engine. Soon enough, I was out of the rental area and off to San Francisco city. I had to get a few nice dresses for the wedding ceremony and the reception party.

I walked down a few streets of famous shops and finally went into Kate Spade. I picked out a Navy blue dress with thick strips of silver, light blue and grey stripes on waist and up and below my waist the navy blue dress ended up on my knees. Perfect. I also grabbed a orange mixed with red dress that had a few stripes of white on my shoulders and a few around my knees. I picked those two dresses and paid the money.

I walked over to a Subway and ordered myself a chicken sandwich and walked over to my Camaro. I placed the dresses at the back seats and settled my drink in a cup holder and my sandwich to the passenger seat next to me.

I looked at my GPS and typed in "Half moon bay, Ritz Carlton". The GPS quickly found my destination and started the direction.

The ride was more than an hour but less than 2. I finally saw the beautiful hotel on the right side, waiting for me to come in. The entrance was amazing. There were flower beds, a water fountain and lovely employees that helped me out of my car. I thanked them while they grabbed my luggage and my two dresses out of the car and one if them gave me a ticket if I want to use my car again. I tipped the man that drove my car to the parking lot and tipped the man that held my luggage. I walked into the Lobby.

My mother was waiting for me.

"Caroline! Sweetie! I'm so glad to see you here!" My mom came rushing over and gave me a huge hug.

I wriggled out of her hug, "Hi mom."

A man came beside my mom and his hand held her waist, they gave each other a quick kiss and the man looked at me, "Hi, I'm Robert. Your mothers future husband." He held his hand towards me.

I shook it, "Hi, I'm Caroline. My mother's first daughter."

He nodded.

"Honey, Robert is a wonderful man, I'm sure you'll love him." My mom assured.

I scoffed, "Yeah, like I loved the other man you married besides dad."

My mom took a step back and coughed, "Well, I suppose you need to check in."

I nodded and headed over to the reception.

"You know, Robert is paying for your room. You better thank him." My mom whispered into my ear.

I shuffled over, "He should."

The woman gave me my key and I headed towards the elevator. My mom told me to make myself feel comfortable and come down stairs for a happy hour. She was getting married tomorrow.

I walked into my neat room and placed my luggage on the luggage holder and hung my dresses in the closet. I flopped down on bed and closed my eyes. I laid there for a few minutes then walked over to the bathroom to freshened up. I put on a grey sweater and skinny jeans and walked towards the elevator.

My mom and Robert were sitting outside with a red wine in their hands. My mom spotted me and smiled.

"Caroline, would you like a wine?" She asked.

"Champagne please." I said. I always preferred Champagne.

The waitress took my mom's order and went over to get me a glass. I looked over at the new couple.

"So, uh, where's Lucy." I asked.

"Your sister is still up stairs with that boy. What's his name? Luke? I don't know. She said that she'll be down herein a few minutes but it's more than an hour." My mom said.

I laughed, "What, they having sex up there or what?"

Robert and my mom thought that joke wasn't funny. They looked at me like I was crazy. "Honey, don't say that." My mom said in a stern voice.

I raised an eyebrow and sipped my glass of Champagne.

"The ceremony is going to be around, this time tomorrow. When the sun sets. It's going to be beautiful dear. I know you'll enjoy it. Everyone will be busy getting ready tomorrow so we won't have any time to chat around." My mom said.

Great. "Okay, sound good." I said.

She nodded.

Later that evening. We had dinner in a private room, only my mom, Robert, Lucy, Luke and I. I ordered a pasta and the rest ordered something expensive. I looked at Luke. He had bright blonde hair and brown eyes. He was taller than me and looked very fit.

"Did you guys meet in NYU?" I asked. My sister goes to NYU, go figure.

They both nodded. My sister, being the blonde head of the family got all the attention that she needed. I was only her shadow, but I don't give a shit.

My mom looked at me, "Honey, you've gotten skinny. Eat a bit more."

I shook my head and looked over at Robert who was eating a smoked salmon. Rich bastard.

There was silence in the air. Until my mom coughed, "Well, Caroline. Guess who's coming to the wedding? Everyone knows him."

"Who, Raleigh Becket?" I laughed, again a joke.

My mom nodded and I stopped chewing my pasta.

"How did you know?" My mom said.

"I didn't. I was just joking." I said.

"You have a weird sense of humor." Luke commented.

I rolled my eyes and looked at my mom, "Why is he coming?"

"Well, Robert and I, we got to know him once since Robert's factory builds and provides different parts for Jaegers. So we talked to him. He seems like a nice guy so we invited him to our wedding."My mom said with a big smile.

I raised my eyebrows and nodded. That made me impressed.

"So, you should meet him sometime." My mom added.

I shook my head, "I don't want to waste my time talking to someone like him. He'll just say Hi and then walk off because I'm nothing to him."

"Oh, Honey don't say that." My mom sounded disappointed.

I shrugged and stood up. "I'm finished. Thank you for dinner. I really need to rest now. Good night."

I walked away before anyone can protest.

Raleigh Becket... coming to my mother's second wedding. That seems really weird. I thought in my bed. I was under my covers watching The Hunger Games in my room. I was in my pajamas ready for bed but I still couldn't get Raleigh Becket out of my mind. He was something, someone that everyone knew. I shook my head, trying to get those beautiful turquoise eyes out of my mind. I looked at the television screen, trying to distract my thoughts. It didn't work.

Raleigh Becket... coming to my mother's second wedding... you've got to be kidding me.
