A/N: Now we turn to the trio as they approach their vacation kickoff. Enjoy.

20: December 31st 2014. 4:30 A.M. Hawaii Standard Time. HA210 Flight.

My eyes were groggy, somehow that long plane ride was nuts. Knowing the fact that we would be spending the day in Hawaii and then a flight to LA made me dread it. Another 6 hours as it is. The light shown into my eyes I knew wasn't from the sun but I could tell what that was anyway.

"Index, can you cut that out."

No answer so I tried again.

"Index were not landing until 5 so can you please let me…"

"Can you knock it off I'm trying to get a signal on my phone."

The last voice I ever expected to hear came into my ears. My face perked up and then I saw her.

"Good Morning."

"Misaka."

"Toma, you can call me Mikoto you know that right?"

"Well before you got mad at zapper, and now you're getting mad at Misaka so…"

That of course led Mikoto to press her lips against mine. As much as pulling away wanted to seem viable I simply held her head and deepened it.

"What was that for?"

"Let's just say that's been something I've been wanting to do."

"Ok, my question is…" and then the answer hit me like a ton of bricks. But that only raised another question.

"How did she even get you on?"

"Kuroko is a miracle worker."

"Remind me when we get back I owe her one."

"For what getting me on this plane."

"No, for giving me a second chance at life."

The two of us ended up talking for another 25 minutes about the circumstances surrounding how she found my tickets and got onto this plane just as it was taking off. She called it one of the most dire rom com clichés ever. I simply admired the power of two level 5's. Kuroko I do think is now a level 5, there was no way she could have teleported through solids like that. Of course my hand which has caused me all kinds of bad luck in the past finally gave me a break, and for that I will be just as grateful as I am to Kuroko.

"Ladies and gentleman this is your captain speaking were beginning our final app…"

"Looks like were about to land." I motioned for Mikoto to wake up Index while I fastened mine and her own belts. Index looked like a brick fell on her as she turned and looked at us.

"Oh Yay!"

"Let me get your belt on Index then hug her."

After 20 seconds that's what she did. The plane landed and the three of us managed to get off and head down for baggage claim without much incident. For only 5 in the morning Honolulu was crowded. Mainly with people wanting to get somewhere before the nights celebration began. Then of course she noticed a green shirt in a clothing store. As Mikoto pointed it out I saw it too.

"Hey what is that shirt?"

The green shirt with a yellow 8 on it. From what dad told me he's one of the players in the game. I think he's native Hawaiian.

"Give me a minute, keep an eye on Index."

I went into the shop and quickly bought the jersey. Somehow the whole time I could hear Mikoto struggling with Index to keep her calm. At point I came back out and gave this too her.

"Hey what's this for, I just pointed it out."

"Well, lets just say no matter what clothes you packed you shouldn't be in your uniform the whole time."

Mikoto smiled and quickly put on the jersey, and to my amazement it fit her perfectly.

"Well how does it look?"

"Like you're a native."

Mikoto smiled and then I noticed Index also staring this down.

"Why did you give her Mariota, you know Winston is going to be the better one."

The words flabbergasted me but I paid no mind to them as I grabbed Mikoto's shoulder and moved down a level.

We waited in baggage claim for about 15 minutes as somehow Mikoto got her bags first. Yet for someone who got into the plane after it took off she still had everything needed for a vacation. After ours came we headed for the terminal and I could see them right away at the bottom of the escalator. Grabbing Mikoto's hand I had Index lead the way and she got to them first hugging them. Of course then they saw us coming down.

"Hey Misaka, we didn't think you'd be coming." Dad managed to rub her in the wrong way.

"No problem, I actually managed to get on the plane just before they took off."

Mom came and hugged me while Mikoto and Dad began walking and talking.

"Toma what happened between you two, are you guys…"

"I think we are."

"Well we've got until 3:00 before were back here for the second flight. Was there anything you guys wanted to do."

I had only one thing in mind yet somehow when the five of us left the terminal our vacation really began and my life would somehow become different. Everything would end up changing on that trip and it would for the better.
