American University Debut!

Chapter One: The Call
…
"Great, I've got to go shopping again…"
Yoh, the Japanese university student, walked back and forth. He had gone shopping just this morning, but his food was already gone.
"Curse you YEN."
Outside the window, a small fuzzy fellow nibbled on some crackers. They might as well have said "property of Yoh" because it was that obvious.
He headed towards the window in a lame attempt to scold the creature. "You dumb raccoon."
The raccoon jumped out the window. It was rather fat and its "gelatinous" body jiggled all the way down until it hit an innocent bystander. At first, the boy stood firmly, but then struggled to keep himself erect due to the raccoon's heavy weight. He collapsed.
"Great. A suicidal raccoon got someone. Well, I have nothing else to do."
…
"Are you okay?"
The guy got up quickly. He was blonde and definitely British due to his shirt which had their flag collaged everywhere.
"What the heck you…" He stopped. "Wait, you're that Yoh guy, right?"
Yoh, surprised by the sudden change in tone of his voice, answered "Yes."
"Oh, that's great. I thought you were someone else, so I kind of went off on you…"
Yoh smiled, "It's alright."
…
"I CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH…" said Haruna coldly. "…why do these kinds of things happen to little old me…?"
Macy, a bit bewildered, responded. "Just look at it from a bright side."
Haruna already had the depressive blue shadow hanging over her head. "There's no bright side to this dark, gloomy world……"
"Look Haruna, we're going to Florida. Sunshine, international airport, Disney World…"
"YOH!" she howled.
Behind her, a mother and her child sat.
"Mom, why is that lady screaming like a howler monkey?"
"Quiet honey. Some people take medication in the morning and have some strange episodes."
Macy giggled, but Haruna couldn't hear it over her own sadness.
The plane was almost there to America. Macy ensured Haruna that she could use her phone to call Yoh. Haruna became extremely happy for the rest of the flight, and you can be sure that the small boy had a few more comments that Haruna could actually hear.
…
"You look single to me." said Alistar, sipping a bit of Pepsi. "You're girlfriend's never around."
"She's coming for the dance this year." said Yoh.
Alistar sighed. "My girlfriend left me this year, so I aint going."
"That's rough, man." Yoh said. "Who was she?"
"American girl, your typical tomboy. I broke up with her because she came to Japan."
Yoh looked a bit puzzled. Alistar caught the look and started to explain further.
"We used to live in the same 'hood in America. However, I moved away because I was getting tired of her-"
Coldplay started to play "The Speed of Sound"
"My phone." said Yoh. "Hello?"
"YOH…" said a really creepy voice. "YOH……..help….me….."
Yoh pictured a zombie from Left 4 Dead.
"Haruna, give me the phone."
"Okay….."
"Hello Yoh-kun." Macy said.
"Yes, I'm Yoh."
"We have a problem. Haruna took a plane to America by accident…"
Yoh's heart sank to the bottom of the ocean.
Ritz: Hey, sorry about not getting this done sooner. My computer had same things we needed to straighten out...
Next Time!...... Yoh learns more about Alistar as he books a flight for Florida. Macy shows Haruna the sights, and even meets someone... (SPOILER: Haruna screamed, "MR. BOO." Sure enough, it was her English teacher.)
