If you've gotten this far, thank you for continuing! This is longer, but I actually got a little carried away, lol. I hope it's not boring.


Momo tore the white sheets off her suddenly sweaty body. Before she went to sleep, it was pretty cold in the hotel room, but now it was excruciatingly hot. She lay in bed struggling to remember the dream she'd just had. All she could recall was her mother and a kind looking man. Her train of thought was broken when her grandma walked through the hotel door with breakfast. Momo had failed to notice that she was gone in the first place.

"Oh, good, you're awake. I got you some of those Frosted Flakes you like. You like those right?" The old woman placed a bowl on Momo's bedside table. "Now, hurry up. We mustn't waste time. I wanna have you in school and me in a house by the time the day's over!"

"Yes ma'am," Momo promptly answered.

It was 8 o' clock in the morning by the time they headed off. The remaining nine hours was small compared to the previous nineteen hours spent in the car. Tired, from her lack of sleep, Momo rested her seat back and began to sleep through the hours.

Momo awoke to an abrupt brake. Her eyes shot open and she was immediately feeling awake.

"Good evenin', sugar buns. It's about six. We're a bit behind schedule because of the darned traffic," her grandmother pouted briefly. "I found a good place we can eat dinner, though."

Momo observed her surroundings and saw a small sign that read "Urahara's Shop and Diner". She felt her stomach growl violently at the thought of food; she had slept all through the day and regretted it, knowing she would have a hard time getting to sleep tonight.

Her grandmother turned off the car and began to get out of the car, while Momo followed her lead. As soon as she entered the diner, she was welcomed by delicious, sweet and spicy smells. Right after we chose a booth for ourselves a waiter approached us.

"Good evening, my name is Kisuke Urahara and… Beatrice? Is that you?"

"Yeah, Kisuke, it is," Momo's grandma responded with a little smile. She suddenly looked young to Momo, free of few wrinkles she had, and free of the cursed shaky voice. Though Momo was surprised at this odd knowing between her grandma and the shop's owner, she smiled as well; realizing coming to this particular place was no coincidence.

"What are you doing here?" The man questioned casually.

"My granddaughter," she motioned towards Momo, "will be attending Lexter Academy starting tomorrow, so we've moved up here."

Urahara asked no questions about where Momo's mother or father was. It was as if he had an immediate understanding for her. Momo and her grandmother ordered their drinks and food, and to Momo's surprise, Mr. Urahara sat down next to her grandma. She supposed it must be normal, especially since the diner seemed pretty empty. There were only two people who looked like they were on business and a very strange, but handsome looking boy her age. He had pure white hair, that matched the snow on the ground, and turquoise orbs for eyes. He seemed to have his nose in an Advanced Biology book. Urahara noticed Momo's steady gaze on the boy.

"That's Toshiro Hitsugaya. He's pretty much a regular here," Momo whipped her head towards Mr. Urahara and flushed. "I've only seen him come in here once without a book. That boy is serious with his school work. He's goes to Lexter, actually. Maybe you'll get the pleasure… or displeasure of meeting him." He chuckled at his own words.

Momo was about to respond, not understanding the "displeasure" factor, when a woman placed the food in front of them. "Urahara, get up so they can enjoy their food."

"Oh, Yoruichi, I'm only catching up with an old friend," he responded, reluctantly getting up and walking away with a wave.

"Strange to think this is his shop and he's taking orders from others." Momo nodded at her grandmother's words.

Momo suddenly felt an explosion of excitement in her stomach. She was finally here, starting a new life with everything so fresh and new. She took the last bite from her hamburger and smiled. "Grandma, thank you so much."

Beatrice didn't need to ask what she was thanking her for; she could see it in her granddaughter's eyes. She smiled at her, and looked to her left where she heard footsteps. It was Urahara again.

"It's on me tonight, old friend," he winked.

"Have a nice night, Kisuke." Momo looked over at her grandma only to see that same young smile on her face.

When they sat back down in the car, Beatrice wasted no time telling her about her past with the shop keeper. Momo's curious eyes made it obvious she wanted to know.

"We were sweethearts in college, though I was a few years older. We both planned to major in business and we both succeeded. Of course, me being older I got my major sooner and began a business. It was a simple needs store, but with Kisuke as my employee and partner, I was happy. He was getting close to completing his major when I randomly decided to move more down south. I can't explain why I did it, I just started thinking that maybe there was more to life than revolving it around the person you love, even though that wasn't exactly what I was doing. I realize that now. We parted ways on friendly terms and I guess he moved even farther away than I did from home. I really love him. I always have."

"It must be fate," Momo said quietly. "Y'all have met up now."

"That's true. I had no idea he was up here, but when I saw that sign, I knew I had to come check it out. I'm glad I did."

They began to pull up to Lexter Academy. The front of the campus was a perfect shade of green grass and the building had a vintage style but obviously refurbished.

"Can you take care of everything on your own, sugar buns?" Momo nodded, knowing how anxious her grandmother was to get to her new home.

With a sling bag over her shoulder and two large duffle bags in each hand, she started towards her new school.


So, yeah. I think I got carried away with the whole Grandma and Urahara thing, but whatever. Don't be too disapointed! Next chapter should be pretty cool. Thank you so much for reading! Review PLEASE. :)
