"Itekimas!"

The five kids- and alien frogs in tow- had waved from the doorstep to Aki Hinata. Now they were set for America. And all too soon, it had been time to land.

"Arigato for flying Air Japan. We will be landing in Akron in a few minutes."

Natsumi sighed and lugged her baggage out from under the seat. Next to her, Fuyuki was engulfed in a book about UMAs. She sighed again as Tamama raced down the aisle, nearly tripping a flight attendant. The boke gaeru was not too far behind. Giroro, who had insisted on bringing his weapons (the trigger-happy freak, Natsumi sighed mentally) was flying next to the plane, and Kururu had probably hacked the plane's Wi-Fi by now. Momoka, Koyuki, and Dororo were already in Ohio- the Nishizawas had a vacation house a few miles out of the city limits of their destination.

Once they landed in Akron, the friends boarded a private NPG jet that flew them to a smaller airport in Lima, Ohio. It only took about half an hour, and soon the friends had all gathered.

"Tama-chan has asked to see the school too," Momoka stated once the baggage had been brought to the rooms.

"Wait… you mean the stupid frogs are coming to school with us?" Natsumi was outraged.

"Please, Nat-chi?" Tamama begged, and Natsumi sighed. Despite the unpredictability of the bipolar Keronian, Natsumi couldn't say no to those big black eyes.

"Fine," she sighed. "But no funny business."

"Alright!" the alien frogs cheered.

"But," Natsumi said, lifting a finger to indicate the condition she had set.

"Gero… of course, Natsumi-dono."

But, of course, Natsumi didn't believe him.
