Chapter 3

The Move

 

Belldandy never has broken a sweat before, she was a goddess after all. But she wiped her forehead with the back of her hand anyway. She was finally finished packing all of the items they were taking from home with them. The moving company would be there soon, as she heard someone knock at the door.

Moving man: "Hello? Hello? Is anyone home?"

Belldandy: "I'm coming, please!"

She opened the door to find four moving men observing her from head to toe.

Moving man:" Uh- we're here to pick up items for the move?"

Belldandy: "Yes they're packed and ready to go." "Right over here,......here. And in the two back rooms please"

Moving men(in unison): " Yes MA'AM!"

Skuld:" Belldandy?" "Hey big SISTER!" 

Skuld didn't hear any answer..

She walked to the garden area at the back of the house and found Belldandy sitting and singing to her self.

Skuld: "Belldandy? What's the matter?"

Belldandy:"OH , Skuld. I'm sorry. I was just taking in this place before we meet Keiichi at the School."

Skuld: "Yeah, i'll miss it too." "But we'll get to come back soon and visit right?"

Belldandy:"Of course Skuld. We will. No matter what."

Skuld:"Have you got your bags ready?"

Belldandy:"Yes. I guess it is that time huh? I'm sooo excited. Aren't you?"

Skuld:"Yeah i am, but i'm kinda scared too."

Belldandy:"Don't worry Skuld, i know we'll make some terrific friends no matter where we go."

Skuld: "Thanks Belldandy. Shall we go? Urd's already at the school. You know how she is. Miss Impatient."

Belldandy: (laughing) "That you are right..let's go Skuld! "

They left back thru the house as Belldandy paused to give the men instructions and a small tip, then headed to the taxi that waited for them.

Everyone was at the School already, friends, students and faculty alike to give Kei and the others a big send off. As they finished saying they're goodbyes, Kei stopped to talk to Megumi.

Kei:"Hey Megumi. Take good care of the house okay?"

Megumi: "I will bro. You know i will. Say you make sure to call me as soon as you get settled in a hotel okay?"

Kei: "I promise Megumi. I'll call. And i'll call mom and dad too."

Megumi suddenly teared up and started crying as Kei gave her a hug and a kiss.

Kei: " I love ya sis."
Megumi: "I love ya too Kei. Be good. I'll see you soon okay?"

Kei:" yeah after we get settled, i promise i'll let you come stay with us during school break okay?"
Megumi: "It's a deal K1"

Bell, Urd and Skuld all made rounds with Megumi, giving hugs.

Kei: "Well it's off to the airport everybody. Let's Go! "

Everyone waved and said goodbye as they climbed into the bus to the airport.

Belldandy sat next to Keiichi, slightly trembling.

Kei: "What's wrong Bell? You feel okay?"
Belldandy laughed in a shakey nervous kind of laugh..

"Yes..i.i i'm ok Kei. I'm just so excited for us and for you mostly. This was one of your dreams after all. To get a job like this, it's just so...so Perfect!"

Kei:" heh..yeah you are right Bell. It's mostly thanks to you. You always taught me to never give up. And i never will. I'll work hard no matter what it takes."

Belldandy gently kissed him on the lips, just as they pulled up to the terminal at the airport.

Skuld: "Come on lovebirds. We have to catch this plane it leaves in 20 minutes."

Urd: "Never been on a mortal's flying contraption before."

Skuld : "Don't remind me Urd, i'm nervous enough as it is.."

Belldandy: "Oh come on you two this is gonna be FUN ! "

Keiichi comes back from the Departure desk. And hands them each a ticket.

" Well. This is it. Goodbye Japan. Hello USA!"

They all stood to enter the bording ramp and entered the plane, the plane that would carry them to a dramatic change in culture, and lifestyle.
