Chapter 10

Anio some how knew her way back to the Pearl, even though she had never gone that was before. Once the opened the door to the Pearl, Aiko came rushing up.

"Where have you been?!" shouted Aiko.

"I've been at the new café that just opened up with Aoyama." Aiko's face lit up.

"You went with Aoyama on a date?! Finally!"

That noise of course found Hanon. She came running down the stairs the moment she heard Aiko.

"What?! She went on a date with Aoyama? That is awesome!" shouted Hanon.

That noise found Luchia that time, so she was running toward Anio this time.

"That's great!" shouted Luchia, once she got down stairs.

"Let the girl through," said Nikora ,saving Anio.

Anio raced to her room and slammed the door, hitting a bunch of people in the face. Anio locked the door and grabbed a book. For about an hour, each one took turns banging the door, trying to make Anio open up the door. After the hour, they gave up. But Anio was sucked into the book. It was called "Japanese Atlantis. by the time she was done, it was time for dinner. She closed the book and opened the door. She walked out the room and to the kitchen. She grabbed a bento box from the fridge and she heated it up. She found a note on the counter and it read:

"Out for takeout. Did not want them swarming you. Love, Nikora."

"She must like me a lot to do that."

She heard the microwave beep and she took the box out from it. She sat down at the table and started eating. Then she remembered.

"Tomorrow's my birthday." She said out loud, since there was no one in the house. She finished her bento and went to the living room. She sat on the couch and turned on TV. There was the news on.

"There might be a big storm hit up Ryou. Better be prepared."

She turned to a different channel.

"Arashi," she turned the channel.

"Not listening to us," thought Anio.

She finally settled on a channel when the girls came bursting in. it was raining like the clouds were trying to make a lake out of Tokyo.

"Wow, I can't believe we did not get wet. It was a nightmare out there," said Nikora.

Out came from behind were the girls.

Luchia in a pink rain coat, Hanon in a blue, and Aiko in gold. Nikora was in a purple rain coat.

"It said there was going to be a storm soon on TV, but I did not think it was going to be this soon," Anio said.

The girls took off their rain coats and sat down in one of the chairs. They soon all went to bed at about 8 o'clock.
