It was bright sunny day. The sky was blue, the clouds were white and the birds were chirping. All except Rika. Where was she? Lets find out.

"Mom! I'm ready."
Rika was at home. She was packing up. To go where? Away. Was her family going with her? No.
"Are you sure, Rika?"
Rika's mother looked at her daughter with worriness. She knew that Rika would never be into fashion.
"Yes mother."
Rika's mother didn't say another word. She always wanted Rika to be happy.
"Okay. Give me 5 minutes to get ready."
"Okay."
Rika sat down on the sofa. She looked at her coffee table and saw a picture frame. The image was of Ryo, Takato, Jeri and herself. She chuckled to herself. Ryo was winking at Rika. Rika stared at the picture frame for a few minutes.
"Rika? Are you ready?"
"Huh?"
Rika woke up from her daydream. She got up from the sofa and grabbed her luggage. Her mother was driving her to the subway to go to Los Angeles. Rika was ready to start a new life. Even if she had to leave her best friends. But she certainly wanted to leave Ryo behind. After what he had done at the Full Moon Festival.
"Rika? Are you coming? Are you cancelling?"
"No. I'm not!"
"Okay, okay don't bite my head off."
"I'm sorry. I-I just want to go."
"Do you really have to? I mean...you're going to leave behind your friends and...your family."
There was silence in the room for a few minutes.
"M-Mom...please don't make this as hard as it is already."
Then her mother and Rika drove to the Tokyo subway.
"R-Rika?"
"Yes mom?"
"Why aren't your friends here to say goodbye? Why isn't that cute little boy named Ryo here?"
"M-Mom...I told them but I never told them the date."
"Rika! How cruel can you be?"
"Mom...if they were here then it would be harder to say goodbye."
Tears formed from her mother's eyes. Rika wiped a tear from her eye.
"I'll miss you a lot Mom."
"I'll miss you too Honey. I love you!"
Rika's mom hugged Rika very tight. Rika quietly whispered.
"I'm sorry."
They separated.
"I love you too mom."
Rika's mother wiped a tear from Rika's eyes. Of course it was a surprise to Rika that a tear was there.
"The subway to Los Angeles, California leaves in 2 minutes," The announcer said.
"That's my subway."
Rika's mother hugged Rika one more time.
"I'll miss you. Call me when you arrive."
"Okay."
"What about your friends?"
"Tell them that I left when you get home."
"Okay."
Her mother hugged Rika once more.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Rika got on the subway. Her mother blew her a kiss.
"I'll miss you! Don't forget about me or your friends!"
"I'll always remember everyone! I love you."
The subway door closed. Rika waved goodbye. Her mother turned around and walked to her car. Her eyes filled with tears. She couldn't hold them back anymore. Rika's mother didn't want to look "weak" in front her child. She wanted to be strong. But she just couldn't hold it in. Her tears slid down on her cheeks.
"Rika, please...never forget about me or your friends."
