(Oh, I don't own anything by the way…)



When they got there the plane had already left. "Oh no…that was the last flight to Shizuoka!" Yolei said, sounding hopeless. "What do we do now?" Kari asked, getting a little worried. "There can only be two choices," Tai replied, not looking at them. "What are they?" Mimi asked, her and her sisters' gazes turned toward their brother. "Well, we can either go home…" Tai said, looking up at them and seeing their expressions change, "Or go there by land." "Who'd be driving?" Kari asked. "Well…I was thinking…that I'd drive." Tai said, sheepishly. "No way! No way! I don't want to risk my safety by making Tai drive just to get to Shizuoka." Yolei answered, crossing her arms. "You don't trust me, do you?" Tai asked, getting irritated. "Nope, not the slightest bit!" Yolei said, not looking at him. "But Yolei, we have no other choice…" Mimi said. "Yeah and besides, you should trust Tai. He's your brother." Kari added. "Look, I'm not forcing you to come. We can drop you off at home if you want to but…"Tai started (already pissed off) but was cut off by Yolei, "I-I'm coming." "Are you sure?" Tai asked, reassuringly. "Yes, I'm absolutely sure." Yolei said, looking at Tai. "Okay, now let's go." Tai said as he entered his Explorer, his sisters following suit.

After an hour and a half of travel, Yolei and Kari had fallen asleep. "Tai, how long will it take to get to Shizuoka anyway?" Mimi asked, changing the CD on their player, "You've been driving for over an hour now." "It's longer than you think." Tai replied, taking a quick glance at his sleeping sisters. "Oh?" Mimi asked, looking at Tai, "Tell me, how long?" "Well, a minimum of 6 hours." Tai answered simply, not taking his eyes off the road. "What?!" Mimi exclaimed, in a soft voice to avoid waking her sisters. "Did you say six?!" she asked, as her brother nodded in response. "Six is the minimum?" she continued asking. "Yup." Tai answered, chuckling a bit at his sister's shocked expression, "And you call an hour and a half long." "Wait, why didn't I ask you before anyway…" Mimi said, sitting erectly and looking straight at the road, "How do we get there?" "Well…from Odaiba, we go to Akita and proceed to Aomori and then to Fukuoka and lastly in Iwate. Then…" Tai said but Mimi cut him off saying, "Then we get there, right?" "Uh…no." Tai said, "When I said lastly, it meant last before taking a barge and to Kochi, Mie, and finally get to Shizuoka." "Woah…" was all Mimi could say as she slumped back on her seat. There was a short silence as Mimi looked out the window. "I hope you brought thick jackets or sweaters." Tai said, starting a conversation. "How come?" Mimi asked, looking at Tai. "Since it's snowing there. It's freezing cold." Tai answered simply, "But I guess you've known that, huh?" "What do you think both those suitcases are for?" Mimi replied, as both she and Tai chuckled. "Where are we now, anyway?" she asked. "We're now in Fukuoka." Tai answered, as he turned the driving wheel to overtake two cars in front of them, "I suggest you have some sleep." "Maybe I should," Mimi said, smiling at her brother, who followed suit. "Okay, pleasant dreams, Pwincess." Tai said, looking at his younger sister. Mimi's smile had widened to a grin when she heard the old nickname that Tai gave her when they were still little. "Thank you, my servant." Mimi said, still smiling as she tied her shoulder-length, light brown hair in a high ponytail, "But I order you to wake me before we get to Iwate." "You got it!" Tai said chuckling, as he ruffled Mimi's well-combed hair. "Hey, what was that for?" Mimi said, getting a little pissed at her brother for messing up her hair, "I'm not a little kid anymore." "Well, what's the difference?" Tai asked simply. "Well, when I was younger, I always enjoyed when you do that to my hair. I never cared about anyone messing my hair up," Mimi said, "And now, well…I do." "Whatever. Just go to sleep." Tai said as he looked at Mimi as she took off the ponytail and closed her eyes.

"Mimi, Mimi, wake up!" Tai said, shaking her sister with one hand and the other hand on the wheel. "groan What?" Mimi asked, opening one eye. "We're here." Tai said, parking the car. "Why didn't you wake me up sooner?" Mimi asked, groaning. "Well, you looked really comfortable," Tai explained, "I didn't have the heart." "Yeah, well." Mimi muttered, "What do we now?" "Well, you can wake them…" Tai said, gesturing to her two still sleeping sisters, "and I'll go get our car registered." Tai said getting out of the car and headed for the office.

"Hey, wake up you guys!" Mimi said, shaking her younger sisters. "What?" Yolei asked. "We're here!" Mimi said, smiling. "Really?!" Yolei asked, excitedly. "Um…you could say that," Mimi answered. "Kari, Kari wake up!" Yolei said, shaking her younger sister, "We're here!" "Really? That was quick." Kari said, rubbing her eyes. "Well, we're not exactly there yet." Mimi answered sheepishly, "What I meant was that we've got to ride a barge in order to get there. "Oh, man!" Yolei said, tying her hair up in a ponytail. "So what do we do now?" Kari asked, brushing her brown hair. "Well, Tai's over at the office to get our car registered." Mimi answered. "Getting our car registered?" Yolei asked, straightening her shirt. "Well, according to Tai, we've got to take a barge in order to get there." Mimi explained as both nodded in understanding. "How long do we have to ride?" Kari asked. "Um…about an hour?" Mimi estimated. "Oh, okay!" Yolei answered, fixing her glasses. They all settled down after the conversation and waited for their brother to arrive.
