When Rika's taxi finally made it's way to the airport, Rika was angry at the driver. She got out with a fit, and slammed the door.

"Stupid driver. Doesn't know where he's going," Rika muttered to herself, as she walked through the crowd.

-FLASHBACK-

Rika got in the taxi and told the driver that she needed to go to the airport. The taxi driver looked confused, but drove anyways.

'What does he think he's doing! He's going the wrong way," Rika thought.

"Umm…excuse me, but you're going the wrong way," Rika said, trying to be calm.

"No, no. I go right way. This way…" the man said, turning around to Rika and pointing the way he was going.

The man obviously couldn't speak English well, so Rika didn't understand him. Rika then looked out the window and was that she wasn't anywhere near the airport.

"Hey, you're not going the right way," Rika said again, with a hint of anger.

"No, no. I go to airport. See…" the man said, taking his hands off the stirring wheel to show Rika a map that was upside down.

"THE STUPID MAP IS UPSIDE DOWN…" Rika yelled, then got a glimpse of the road, "KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE ROAD!"

The driver looked back at the road and saw that they were about to run a red light. He slammed the breaks on. Rika got out and told the driver to get in the passenger seat. He moved over, as Rika drove herself to the airport.

When they got there, Rika grabbed her things and was about to open the door when he said, "You need pay," the driver said, pointing to himself.

"You think I'm paying you for going the wrong way and almost killing me? I don't think so," Rika said, opening the door.

"Pay half or police," the driver said, holding up his cell phone.

Rika gave in and gave the driver half the price.

-FLASHBACK END-

Rika set her duffle bag on the conveyer belt, as she walked to find her boarding place. She took a glance at her watch.

"Great, 15 minutes till the plane leaves," Rika said.

After about ten minutes of searching, she found the place. She gave the lady her ticket.

"Thank you, your seat is in the first class area towards the front of the plane. Hope you enjoy your flight," the lady said.

'First class? Wonder where those three managed to get first class tickets,' Rika thought, as she walked through the gate.

Rika walked towards the front of the plane. When she got there, she sat in her seat and relaxed. The engines of the plane started as Rika dozed off.

Later, during the flight, Rika woke up and looked back at her watch.

"Oh, that's right. I have to adjust my time," Rika said.

Rika fixed her watch as a stewardess came up to her and asked her if she wanted anything. Rika felt a little hungry, so she took a bag of peanuts. The other items on the cart seemed to have a bad stench to them.

'Ha, they call this first class?' Rika thought, opening the pack.

Just then, Rika saw three shadows over her head. She turned around and saw the three teenagers from before.

"AHH…Why are you here," Rika asked, startled of their presence.

"Uhh…" one said.

"What? You think we're going to stay in the US?" another said.

"Oh, good point," Rika said, as she looked down.

"Glad to see that you changed your mind about going back," the other one said.

"So, who are you, anyw…" Rika started, as she looked up.

Instead of the three teens, Rika saw a little boy, hanging over the seat.

'Where'd they go?' Rika thought.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain speaking. We are about to land so please put your seat belts on, when the light comes on. Thank you and enjoy your time in Japan," the captain said.

"Well, this is it, I guess," Rika said, as she got up to get off the plane.
