"It's been a long time now. I haven't felt American culture for 3 months already. I looked at my phone calendar and it read September 12. My first day of classes as a 10th grader starts tomorrow. I wonder how much changed while I was gone. I miss Norrisville already. I miss Howard. And I miss... Theresa.
I've been at Japan for quite some time. There, I was trained by Nomi-san*, Ojii-san**, and Oji***
Since I've been in Japan, I had to force myself to learn Japanese and thoroughly speak using Japanese language. The worst part about that is that I forgot how to speak in English.
I guess my inner thoughts are writing this down in the airport."
Prologue - Tadaima!
"Randy. Are you okay?" asked Jane who still remembers English
Randy didn't reply back. He forgot English that he can't even speak well with it anymore. He only understands few English words. That's why Jane had to speak in Japanese to get his attention.
"Randi. Daijoubou desu ka?****" asked Jane
"A-re? Mm- Hmmm Boku wa Daijoubou shimasu"
"Anata no eigo o wasure te shimai mashi ta ka?"
"Hmmm...Tabun..."
*Jane raises an eyebrow*
"Oke! Oke! Yoshi! Watashi wa watshi no eigo o wasure te shimai mashita. Shiawase desu ka?"
"Mah-Mah. Let's work on your English"
"...?"
*Airport*
At the Airport, there's a family sitting on the benches and is waiting for a plane. The Weinermans. One of them was an impatient little chubby teen that walked around in circles. His name is Howard, which has changed a bit. His top became a sweater under a shirt with a squid wearing shades design. His hair is a bit longer and he dyed it completely with brown. The rest never changed.
"Come on, Randy. Where are you!? Why are you taking so long?" he moaned
"Come on, Howie, They'll be arriving soon. The plane's on schedule" said Mort, his father
"Shut it, Mort! I'm busy moaning!" replied Howard
"Uh! Let him be, dad. He's always moaning!" growled Heidi
"Uhhh... Um..." exclaimed Mort
Heidi and Howard argued too long that didn't notice that Randy and his family were already talking to Mort. Jane gestured Randy to tap Howard on the shoulder so they'll stop arguing. Randy obeyed Jane and tapped Howard. Once. No luck. Still arguing. Twice. Still Arguing... Trice. STILL ARGUING. That's when Randy lost it and shouted at Howard's ear.
"Howard!" called Randy in a Japanese accent
"AAAHHH! Why did you-"
Howard looked weirdly at Randy as he smiled and waved at Howard with a little... Japanese..."bling".
"R-Ra-Randy... H-Hi"
"...Hmmm? Daijoubou desu ka?" asked Randy
"...What?"
"DAI-JOU-BOU DESU KA?!"
"AAAHH! Speak in English dude!"
"...?"
"...What the...?"
"Pardon me, Howard" said Jane
"For what?" asked Howard
"Randy here, forgot how to speak in English. He can't even understand it. Only few words. Here. A Japanese to English Dictionary. I think this might help. I thought Randy some English in the plane so. He might understand but not speak" explained Jane
"Oh. So you understand me... but can't speak in English?" asked Howard
"I can understand you. But I can onuri (only) speak a riteru (little) of Engurishi (English)"
"What?" exclaimed Howard
"Um... Howard. You should be aware that Randy's 'L' becomes 'R', 'V' becomes 'B' and 'EE' becomes 'I'" explained Jane
"Oh... So he said that, He can only speak a litlle of English?"
"Yup"
"Oh..."
"I hope you can understand Howard" said Randy
"I understand...um.. What's the Japanese of pal?" asked Howard
"It's Paru with a sharupu 'R'"
"Okay. I understand.. Paarruu"
Randy giggled as Howard mispronounced the Japanese word. But he didn't care. He just likes his friend just the way he is. Stupid, Chubby and a big idiot.
After the reunion, Randy and Howard headed to Norrisville High right before the opening ceremony. Leaving Rachelle behind, who was actually expelled for stealing Randy and Howard's documents but gave it back.
*Hallway - 1st period bell rang - Lockers*
"I missed this school" said Howard
"Me too"
"So what's your schedule?"
"Hmm... I got English, Science, Math, Recess, Spanish, Japanese, Lunch, M.A.C, and-"
"Wait! That's the complete opposite of what I'm having! And wait- You joined the Martial Arts Club?! Seriously? Are you kidding me?"
"Um... Iya desu...?"
"You're Lying aren't you?!"
"Iya...Hai..."
"I knew it!"
*bell rings*
"I gotta go to kurasu (class) Howard"
"This isn't the end Cunningham! You'll be dead to be me this RECESS! I'm taking your GRAVY FRIES!" shouted Howard as Randy walked away silently to his class.
Tadaima - I'm Back!
Nomi-san - It's just Nomi's name with a formal calling. Putting "san" in the end of their name means you respect that person.
Ojii-san - Granfather (with formality)
Oji - Uncle (no formality)
Daijoubou desu ka? - Are you okay?
Boku wa Daijoubou shimasu - I'm okay
Anata no eigo o wasure te shimai mashi ta ka? - Did you forget your english?

Oke! Oke! Yoshi! Watashi wa watshi no eigo o wasure te shimai mashita. Shiawase desu ka? - Okay! Okay! I did forget my English. Happy?
