All the SSX Boarders were sitting in the lobby of the airport. They waited
for each of their plane flights to go home. Although Mac had his apartment
back in Merquery City, he was forced to consider a foster home until he was
at least eighteen because of the legal issues involved in living alone at
such a young age. He decided that maybe it was time to let other people
into his life besides a few of the new friends he made and agreed.

Moby and Zoe were sitting beside each other quietly. Ever since that time before they all headed out to the club and Mac had whispered that thing into Zoe's ear, it nagged at him. What had he said to her? Enough was enough and he decided to be straight up. "Zoe, do you remember when we were going out, and Mac had said that I liked you?"
She was silent but obviously remembered, nodding. He continued. "Well, what did he say to you that night, when he whispered into your ear?" Zoe smiled as she spoke. "He said you weren't as bad as you seemed and that we'd make a perfect couple. That, even though you probably couldn't stand him, you were still a great person to talk to when worse came to worse. That sort of stuff. And I thought about it for a while before it finally sunk in. Moby, he really wanted to be your friend. But, when you burned his picture and told us he lied, well, maybe that's where he drew the line."
Moby's jaw was dropped. He never expected that from his rival at all. Heck, he expected something like . . . well. . . to stay away from him or something. His eyes averted Zoe's, and his flight was called.
"Goodbye, love." he kissed Zoe on the top of the head and squeezed her on the shoulder. Zoe saw him off before going to her flight.

After a few hours, everyone's flight had already been called and it slowly dwindled down to just Mac and Kaori. Which was fine with them, considering they wanted the time to reflect on their relationship and going back home.
When Kaori's flight was called, she seemed to resent leaving anything at all. Including the boarders and her life. They both walked solemnly to the one-way flight to Tokyo, Japan. Gloom hung in the air and they were both quiet, but inside they were filled with so many things they wanted to say to one another.
They found the gate and Kaori paused. "This is it. My plane."
"Yeah. Back to regular life at home."
"But it won't be all bad. I mean, now I've met you and all. We can e-mail, write letters, call. It won't end so sudden. Besides, we have next year too."
The silence caused them both to wince. He brushed a strand of her hair from her face and smiled. "What would I have ever done without you this season?" Mac joked. Kaori just shrugged and leaned up to kiss him on the cheek.
"I love you, Mac. And I'll miss you," she picked up her bags and shifted her weight. "Goodbye." a small tear conspicuously trailed down her cheek and she gave her ticket to the woman at the gate. Without so much as a glimpse back, she plodded down the hallway and out of sight.
Mac stood for a few more seconds before shoving his hands in his pockets and smiled to himself. Although it wasn't the best time he could have wished to have, he still had next year.
Just wait until Kyle hears about everything . . .
