Chapter 1: Big News

My name is Hakuoru Minueshi. My entire life, I have only been in California. I was originally born in Japan and are Japanese but, I have never been there. I have a lot of friends but, all of them have only seen my outer character. There are only two people who have seen the true me. These people are more like guardians but, still they're my best friends. The first one is named Tune, he was born from the first egg. The egg was light purple with a green diamond on it. Over lapping the diamond there was a dark green square, inside of the square and diamond shapes there was a blue circle in the center. That was when I dressed and acted like a boy. When i decided to be more girly a second egg was born, her name is Musa. Her egg was purple a pink line outlined with red in the center going around the egg. On the top and bottom of the egg there was light pink circles surrounded by dark red. They stayed by my side since the age of 8. I met in the middle, I dressed normal and did different activities such as dancing and basketball. Right now I am in fifth grade. But it's just a normal day for me.

"Hurry! Hurry!"Musa shouted in my ear."The testing time is almost up!"

"Stop it. Just let her do her best at her own speed." Tune chimed out of nowhere.

"But she won't pass at this rate." she argued back.

"Please stop you guys, I can't concentrate. You both want to do my best but, how am i supposed to do that with you two shouting and arguing in my ears.

"Sorry, I guess we got carried away by this test."

Bing! The bell and right at the best moment. As I walked out side I saw my friend Jake Smith. "Hi Jake, How are you?"

"Oh hi, I'm doing okay but, I have a little problem."

"Well what is it, Maybe I can help."

"No I'm fine, you can't do anything to help. Gotta go bye."

He always acts weird around me ever since we entered fourth grade. It kind of creeps me out, but he's still a good friend. Well now it's time to go home.

"Welcome home."my parents say with a huge grin on they're faces. I usually ignore them and just heeded up to my room. When I get to my room i jump on to my bed and relax.

"Today was a pretty good day. Except for the fact that I couldn't concentrate on my test. But I feel Like the day isn't over yet, like something big is going to happen today."

"You always think that every day. It never changes. Somehow I think it's because you always want something to happen."Musa said with a big smile.

"Yeah, I guess your right but, this is different. Oh well."

At dinner time my parents said they had a big announcement for me and my little brother. "Well summer is coming up and we had a vacation for the beach planned out but, out passports were switched with someone who was going to Japan and it is a one way ticket. We can't afford to buy another ticket for each of us to get back. So we came up with two choices. We can either skip family vacation this summer or move to Japan. We want you to decide."

"We should move to Japan it would be a lot of fun!" Ben shouted out. In side I was thinking the same thing but on the outside I just said "Lets just make Ben happy."

"So it's decided we are moving." Mam said in a very excited voice. I'm guessing she wanted to move as well but i can't imagine one reason why she would want to leave. After dinner I went up to my room.

"I have to tell Jake don't I?"

"It wouldn't make any sense not to. I mean, what, you show up to school one day and then never come back and he doesn't know what happened to you? That is not very smart."

"I guess you right but, I am scared to say good bye to him. He's been my best friend since Preschool. We even had nap time together. On the other hand I want to go live in Japan. I just don't know what to do."

Chapter 2: Good Bye

"Late, I'm late!" I shouted as I leaped out of bed.

"Luckily we got here in time but, we didn't get here early enough to tell Jake."

I rushed to the class room, in hopes that Jake was there. As soon as I got there, I saw that he wasn't at his desk. Why does he have to be absent today? From behind me I heard a loud voice go "BOO!". He grabbed my shoulder. At that moment I jumped and squealed. I turned around to see Jake laughing his head off. "Oh, you think this is funny?"

"Yeah it was the funniest thing you have ever done. You should have seen your face. In fact I'll show it to you." Right then he made this face that I couldn't help but laugh at.

"I bet I can get A funny face out of you at the end of the day." I mumbled to myself.

"What, whats wrong?"

"N-Nothing."

Bing! "Everyone take your seats!" our teacher shouted. The day went by quick. In my last class, I passed a note to Jake. But before it got to him the teacher got it."What is this a note, you all know there is no passing notes duringclass." He skimmed over it real quick. I thought he would make me read it in front of the class."Okay, I'll let it off with a warning this time." At that moment my heart had skipped a beat. Oh that was close.

After class I waited behind the school. As soon as I saw Jake come out, I was going to tell him. About twenty minutes later I saw him outside. I'm so nervous. I walked up to him. "J-Jake can I t-talk with you for a minute." We both headed toward the back of the school. There was an old bench there where kids would come to sit down or to think.

"So, what do you want to tell me?" Jake asked out of nowhere.

"It's about me. I'm moving to Japan over the summer. Tomorrow is my last day. The thing is when I move to Japan I will never be able to come back to the United States ever again. There is no change of mind, it's already been decided. So, tomorrow is the last day I will ever see you."

"What, why didn't you tell me sooner?" Jake shouted as he went into shock.

"Because, I was scared to tell you, I was scared to say good bye." My eyes started to tear up."You were the best friend I have ever had and it's hard to say good bye to the person who means the most to you. You are the person I love the most and I don't want to let go of you like this. I don't want to let go at all. I'm sorry." by that point I was balling my eyes out and tears were falling off my face and hitting the ground fast and hard.

Jake pulled me into his arms and held me tight."It's okay. I don't want to let go either. I know it's hard and you have to carry this around with you, but no matter how far apart we are we will still be together. We don't have to let go. I will be with you every step of the way watching over you and protecting you. So, this is not good bye forever, just for now." I cried into his chest trying not to pull away. I savored the time with him. We didn't let go. We sat there for two hours, which only felt like ten minutes. We left each other when it turned dark.

On my way home I started to think."As far as good byes go, I think that was pretty good. I will miss him, but I will return to him one day and when I do I will never leave his side." I said to Musa and Tune.

"It was okay, but it took a bit to long." Musa said with an annoyed tone to her voice.

"I think it went perfectly, but it gave me a big surprise" he said trying hard not to laugh.

"Well either way, I feel better so I am ready to move with no regrets. Oh, but one more thing, we need to ask mom what school were going to be at next in Japan." I said eagerly.
