A/N Don't worry if you start seeing Japanese. I'll translate it at the bottom.

"So…How are we going to break-up Abric?" Daley asked Taylor.

"No idea." Taylor said promptly.

"Right…" Nathan said.

Melissa sighed. "Aren't you taking this too far? Why don't you just ask Abby to work a little harder?"

"We are not taking this too far. You know what's horrible? That I have to be harassed by Dylan!" Taylor said angrily.

Ian was passing by. "Whatever it is, I don't think you need to worry. Abby and Eric are having an argument right now."


"You told me you were buying dinner!" Abby shrieked at Eric.

"I'm sorry I forgot my wallet."

"Anata wa, watashi ga shitte iru sutekina hitobito no hitotsudearu! Watashi wa anata ga watashi no tame ni kore de tsūka shite iru shinjirukoto ga dekinai!" Abby said angrily.

"See! Another problem! Half the time I have no idea what you're saying!" Eric yelled.

"Anata wa nihongo o manabu hitsuyō ga arimasu! Sore ga issho ni kurasu o toru koto wa hontōni tanoshīdarou!"

"Again, no idea what you're saying. English please."

"Anata ga nihongo o mananda baai wa, kono hikisū wa yōi ni narudarou. Watashitachi wa hontōni dorodoro koto o itte suru koto ga deki, daremoshiranaidarou."

"Okay is this how you're going to break up with me? Then FINE. I'll just take all of my stuff out of the apartment!"

"Goji ni anata o sanshō shite kudasai?"

"Yes, this is goodbye! Forever!" Eric stormed off. Abby growled in his direction and walked off.


"Yes! Operation Abric has succeeded!" Taylor was whooping for joy.

"I guess they just weren't made for each other." Nathan shrugged.

Daley sighed. "At least some work will be done around here."


"Anata to Erikku wa hontōni kaisan shinakatta, anata wa dōdesu ka?" Melissa asked Abby as they were looking through costumes Taylor could wear for an upcoming photoshoot.

Abby looked at her in surprise. "Watashi wa, anata ga shitteita nihonjin o shirimasendeshita."

"Watashi no sobo wa nihonjindesu." Melissa shrugged. After a moment, she asked again, "Dakara, to Erikku wa issho ni mada arimasu ka?"

Abby hesitated, then nodded. "Nakute mo Jakuson, darenimo iwanaide kudasai." She sighed. "Anata no kankei o kakushita riyū o ima, watashi wa rikai shite imasu."

Melissa laughed bitterly. "Watashi wa migi no shitte iru? Watashi wa anata to Erikku ga shita onaji koto o subekidarou ka."


"Melissa knows." Abby said almost casually as she and Eric packed the last things into boxes.

Eric started. "I didn't know she knew Japanese."

Abby laughed. "Apparently her grandmother is Japanese." Upon seeing Eric's look, she said, "Don't worry. She'll keep our secret. After all, she and Jackson went through this too."

Eric smirked, then nodded. He stood up and stretched. "Well, I'm hungry. Why not head down to the Thai place three streets down."

Abby laughed as Eric led her from their apartment.

A/N Sorry if this isn't accurate, I used Google translator.

1st: You are the sweetest guy I have ever met. This is the greatest thing you have ever done for me.

2nd: You should've learned Japanese with me. This would be way more fun!

3rd: See you at 5?

Abby and Melissa:

1st: You and Eric haven't really broken up, have you?

2nd: I didn't know you knew Japanese.

3rd: My mother is Japanese…So, you and Eric are still together?

4th: Yes, but you can't tell anyone, not even Jackson. Now I understand why you did this.

5th: I know, right? I hope you and Eric are happy.
