"Dad how did the conference go?" Andy asked looking through his dad's bags for souvenirs.
"it went very well, which leads me to an announcement" their father said sipping a cup of tea.
"I found something!" Mel said pulling a book out of the bag "oh it's just a French to Japanese dictionary"
"But dad already speaks fluent Japanese" Andy said looking at his dad.
"and it's new" Mel added.
"The new branch of our company will be opening in Japan in March" their father stated.
"Awesome!" Mel clapped.
"The boss offered me a chance to transfer to the japan company. The job will increase my wages by 1/2. I discussed this with your mother and decided that we will move to Japan." Their father smiled.
"I guess, I could talk to my friends over the Internet or something" Andy said thinking. "are you excited Mel?" Andy glanced over to Mel to see her eyes sparkling.
"This could be my chance!" Mel stood up "All the rumors of my hyper tomboy personality will no longer be known and I can start off with a clean slate!" Mel shouted.
"Like you could hide it" Andy smirked.
"But it's my chance!" Mel said confidently.
"so your not going to be hyper? I better call the devil and tell him to buy a winter coat" Andy said laughing at his sister.
"what's that suppose to mean?" Mel question angrily.
"it means you frigging hyper and annoying" Andy said leaning back.
"Mom!" Mel whinnied.
"Be nice to your sister" their mother sighed.
Mel looked at her brother and stuck out her tongue. "daddy did you take any pictures?" Mel asked.
"of course" their father replied.
"wow Japan is pretty! I can't wait until we move! And the cheery blossoms are amazing! Oh I need to buy a kimono! and I need to practice Japanese and I need learn what sweets are good. And I need to use honorific and oh should I call you onii-tan?" Mel said excitedly.
"great job at hiding your hyperness" Andy said clucking through the camera.
"shut up!" Mel shouted.
"No you shut up!" Andy replied.
"Kids!" their mother yelled at her children.
"Sorry" the two said in unison. Mel went back looking at the pictures.
"Oh that reminds me, the schools in Japan start in April and they have different curriculum would our grade level be different, If we go back a grade until April and go to our current grade. It is based off of birthdate. However there is also the language barrier issue which could affect the results of our grade placement" Andy said poking his forehead.
"Don't worry, I went around the schools and stuff and they told me about an alternative school" their father explained.
"I pulled my marks up so I wouldn't have to go to an alternative school but you're making me anyway!" Mel protested. "I tried so hard at school and stopped after school activities and I even took those after school programs to help with marks or whatever the hell that was! You are so unfair I'm not going to Japan! I'll live in the shed in the backyward and work after school to pay the owners of the house so I won't be a bother!" Mel said waving her hands in the air as if she was having a temper tantrum. She also dropped the camera on the floor. "I will not go to an alternative school"
"Melanie Mary Litsuko calm down" their mother sighed.
"It's a different alternative school. You two aren't fluent in Japanese this school will teach you to speak it and it will get you adjusted to the curriculum so you can enter middle schools there" their father explained.
"oh ok" Mel smiled. "Oh I dropped the camera" Mel said picking it up and looking through the pictures more. "oh it's a picture of Kelly, what are those two thingys on her shoulders are they stuffed animals" The picture was of a teenage girl with two small fairy like things.
"It's only her in the pictures" Andy said looking over her shoulder. "I think Mel's going crazy"
"Am not" Mel mumbled. Could she have been seeing things there was obvious something there. "Never mind" Mel said rubbing the back of her head. "Oh I should go send Kelly an email" Mel ran up the stairs but quickly ran back down. "When are we moving?"
"Well I don't know an exact day, but the company said as soon as possible they already provided a house there" their father said. "How about a month or so"
"Oh cool!" Mel said running up the stairs quickly into the room which contained the computer. "Hmm how should I start this email?" Mel pondered.
Hey cuz guess what! I'm going to be moving to Japan in about a month! ^_^ Also something I noticed in a picture of you I thought I say like 2 fairy thingies no one else saw them but I'm sure they were there Oh and there was like a pink egg in my bed this morning, though my brother could have put it there but it looks kinda weird and like feels strange I looked strange pink eggs on google but nothing came up so I'm guessing . it's a trick
Anyway we should have a big party when I move there and we could have lots of cakes and stuff ^_^ oh and cookies :D
See ya soon your fav cousin
Mel ^_^
"There I hope she responds soon" Mel said looking at the computer. She looked quickly went to her room and grabbed her egg. "oh she already replied"
Mel, could you please use punctuation in your sentences? It is already hard to read it as is. It is nice to hear that you are moving here, though your father told us already.
About the egg, you'll find out soon enough
"I'll find out soon enough?" Mel tilted her head. "I wonder what that means" Mel looked at the egg in her hands. "Stuff hatch out of eggs maybe something will hatch out of it?"
"Mel get your butt off the computer, Kelly knows already there is no sense bugging her" Andy said walking to the computer room.
*~* In Japan*~*
"I guess she's not responding" Kelly said looking at her inbox. She looked at the X-eggs in a basket. "Why haven't they ran away like a normal X-eggs?" Kelly's cellphone started to ring. "Hello?"
"Kelly-san, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the mall on Sunday?" the voice on the other side of the phone.
"No thank you Suzuki-chan" Kelly said looking at the eggs again.
"Are you sure?" Suzuki asked.
"Yes maybe some other time" Kelly replied. Suzuki was a girl that was went to middle school and high school with her. She had a shugo chara that represented her wanting to be more talkative having been quite shy for a few years. After coming to terms with her shyness and becoming talkative her shugo chara disappeared.
"If you change your mind let me know. Bye" Suzuki replied.
"Bye" Kelly said hanging up the phone. She used to have a bunch of friends with Shugo chara but as time went on they all accepted their true selves. Being since most people lost Shugo chara before the age of 16. Her friends were quite a bit distracted by their lives and Kelly had become distant from her friends.
"Hey big sis how many emails has Mel sent about moving her?" Kelly's younger brother asked.
"Just once" Kelly said glancing at the computer.
"Well once they move here you won't have a moments peace" her younger brother laughed.
"Whatever" Kelly shrugged "She's bound to find friends that can handle eventually…hopefully" Kelly sighed disbelievingly.
