AN: This takes place right after the series ends… I made this up in my head while I was reading the series.

Mizuki sniffled in her seat on the plane all the way back to the states. Rationally she knew that her decision to return home was ultimately for the best, but she still couldn't help but cry. She would miss Sano and everyone else so incredibly much and she really did have her heart set on graduating at the academy with everybody else.
It was her own stupidity that got her in trouble…she never should have gone there to begin with. She knew all that, but on that long trip back home she made a pack with herself never to regret any of it. What happened happened. It was stupid of her to look back on it now.
"We have landed in Berekley, California. It is currently…" She zoned the pilot's voice out as soon as he had started his announcement. What would her parents think since she had to call them out of the blue and ask for them to purchase airplane tickets for as soon as possible so that she could go home? What could she tell them?
It took as long as usual to get off the plane. She had to wait for everyone in the front to file out and then ask someone to get her lone carry on bag. The rest of her things were put in storage at the school until her parents could arrange to have them shipped home.
What would she tell them? What could she tell them? The truth? Or just that she was going to get kicked out so she decided it was best to leave first? What reason would she use for why she was going to get kicked out? Could she just tell them that she got homesick and that it was a horrible idea and had to get out of there right then and there?
The only thing she had ever lied to her parents about was that she went to an all boys school. During the last break it had turned into an entire fiasco when Sana and Nakatsu showed up unexpectantly in Berekley, but now…now…she had no reason to prolong this lie.
Yes, she would just tell them the truth. No matter how mad they would be it had to be done. She would have had to tell SOMEONE before she could apply to colleges anyway. If she wanted to stay in Japan then they would know that she was going to an all boy school and she was not about to continue her ruse in college…she couldn't!
In the states they might not realize that it was an all boy school possibly…but she still risked them finding out and demanding an explanation. What could she tell them? She had really dug herself into a hole and filled it with water and was drowning in it…
It was probably better that she had left then stayed for her last year of high school in the long run, but it still hurt and was incredibly sad. She wanted to graduate with all of her friends…more then go to college…maybe.
"Mizuki!" She looked up to see her brother was waiting for her behind security. She smiled and waved to him, but was confused when she saw that her mother and father had not shown up to greet her. She had expected that they would be worried sick at her sudden appearance! What was going on?
"Shizuki?" She questioned, though she jumped into his arms in a hug. "Where's mom and dad?" She asked when she finally could pull somewhat away.
"Ah," he looked slightly embarrassed at this question and put her down. "Don't get mad at me…" he warned her.
"What did you do?" She asked, confused.
"Well…I know the only reason for you to come home so early is if you were…found out," Shizuki said sheepishly. "And I knew that you probably wouldn't have the courage to tell them why and you also wouldn't be able to think of a good lie…so I told them everything."
"WHAT!" she asked, outraged. It wasn't THAT major of a problem since she was going to tell them herself anyway…but still why would he do that? "So that's why they aren't here?" She wondered out loud.
Her brother nodded and they stood in silence for a moment.
"Were they really mad?" Mizuki asked tentatively finally.
"They were upset," Shizuki said. "Enough that they told me to get you, but I think after you explain yourself then they'll be fine with it. Hey…they're upset with me too! You're not the only one who kept the secret! Gilbert, too, said he knew about it and didn't say anything because it was your wish."
"You both shouldn't have gotten involved," Mizuki said quietly, though she was happy at the thought of the two of them sticking up for her and trying to explain her side of the story.
"It will all work out," Shizuki said, ruffling her hair. "Come on…let's go home."
"Okay," Mizuki said, gaining back most of her carefree nature.
