A/N - Sorry for not having one last time...you know, an author's note? Oh
well, I'm writing this right after I submitted the first story so I can't
answer any reviews (I'm so impatient!). I might have some next time. Here's
the next chapter! (If it's not in the same layout as the other chapter,
then it's cause I'm too lazy to see) Oh yeah...and I managed to find out
how to spell Fuka....and Mariko's her mother's name in the english
version......
Disclaimer: I don't own it. And I (unfortunately) never will. (I don't own Coca Cola, either)

Chapter 2 - To L.A.!
"Sana...." a voice called. "Sana honey, wake up!" Sana's eye's opened slowly, then she started to blink wildly until she rubbed her eyes. "Honey, we're gonna miss the plane!" Sana got up to find her mother standing next to her bed. "Good, you're awake. Now, your clothes are at the foot of your bed and after that come downstairsr for some toast and....." her voice trailed off. Sana had fallen back to sleep. "OW!" she shouted. Her mother had hit her on the head with her paper fan. "Mama...I'm awake...." Sana's voice trembled. "I'll be waiting for you downstairs, with the others."
Sana groaned and got up from her bed, did a few stretches and got her clothes from the end of her bed. A simple outfit, really. A blue shirt with orange sleeves with a cute orange fish in the middle and underneath it it had the words 'Oh, fishie' in orange letters and ordainary pair of blue jeans. (A/N: from one of my manga drawings) "Sana! Cmon, we're gonna be late!" called Aya's distant voice. Sana threw her clothes on and rushed downstairs, grabbing her backapck from her mother when she got at the bottom. "Let's go!" she called, grabbing a piece of toast and rushing out the door. The others didn't follow so she came back in and signaled them to leave. Mariko wasn't coming so she said goodbye softly, not forgetting what had happened last night and hoping her baby would be alright.
**********
"Ugh...I'm so tired and hungry...." groaned Sana tiredly. "You should've ate at home." Fuka said. "And wook up earlier!" "Waken, freak." Hayama corrected. "He speaks!" Aya exclaimed. Hayama groaned and started cursing under his breath. "Sorry busbody.." pouted Sana. "Don't be too hard on him, Sana." said Tsuyoshi. "He's been having a rough time."
The gang and Rei were walking around Tokyo International Airport, looking for a sign of their flight to LAX. (Los Angeles International Airport) Finally, someone found their flight. "There! Flight number 23452..." Fuka exclaimed excitedly. "Why do they make these flight numbers so long?!"she exclaimed, panting. Actually, everyone was panting, because they had walked around the airport looking for that one flight. "Let's go guys, it's boarding right now!" Rei said, motioning everyone to follow him to the line of people boarding the flight. "Cmon!" Hayama said impatiently.
**********
"Thank you for boarding flight number 23452 service to Los Angeles......" The woman's voice annoucning all kinds of 'saftey procedures' and stuff trailed off. Sana had fallen asleep the moment her body touched the smooth, black leather of the first-class seats. Aya and Fuka, who were sitting next to each other, were chatting about the two 'cute' guys sitting in back of them. "Did you see him look at me?" "Oh my god, he looked at me!" Hayama and Tsuyoshi were sniggering at who knows what.
After about 2 hours, Sana wook up. "Are we there yet?" she yawned slowly.
"Only, like 1 quarter." Fuka replied boredly. She started to yawn and fall asleep.
Aya, was now reading a pamphlet for stuff in L.A., Tsuyoshi was asleep and Hayama was looking boredly out the window. It was about 2 a.m. Tokyo time. He didn't blame the others, Tsuyoshi and Fuka usually sleep at exactly the same time every night, Hayama and Aya both had insomnia every once in a while.
"Ma'am?" asked a voice. Sana looked up and saw one of the stewardesses looking down on her. "Yes?" she asked. The woman asked, "Would you like anything? You've been asleep since the flight started, I thought you might need a soda or something." Sana liked this woman. "Yes, may I have a coke please?" "Certainly." The sewardess answered. She took a Coca Cola can and poured the coke into a glass filled with ice. She then handed it to Sana. "Thank you!" Sana said in her best english. The waitress smiled and asked Aya if she wanted anything. Aya nodded and the stewardess went beyond a curtain to the coach cabin.
**********
"Thank you" the woman's voice called. "For boarding flight 23452 service to Los Angeles. Helpers are posted at the exit to help you find places in the airport. Please wait until we come to a complete stop and the fasten seatbelt sign is turned off. We wish that you have a nice and safe time in Los Angeles or in the place of your final destination. Thank you."
"Ugh..." moaned Sana. She had fallen asleep again during the flight. Rei had shaken her as much as he could so that she would wake up. "I've got a headache." Hayama, who was watching Rei shake her, sniggered a little bit. Tsuyoshi, Aya and Fuka had also just waken up from deep sleep. "Erk...." the plane jerked really fast, catching everyone off guard and causing them to...well...."Erk!"
**********
"Hey guys!" called a girls voice. "Who called Natsumi....?" Hayama said with a little shock in his voice. "Hi!" called another girl. Natsumi, Hayama's older sister and Hisae, a girl from 6th grade were standing in front of them."Hisae!" "Hey girl!" Sana and Hisae walked up to each other and were now in deep conversation. Natsumi went up to Hayama and said, "Well, can't you even force a little grunt for me?" "I did." he said. "On the plane when it jerked." Natsumi gave a little "Hmph!" and lead them downstairs to the baggage carousels, where, Natsumi said, Mr. Hayama was waiting.
They walked down the stairs to the baggage claim. Natsumi's phone rang when they were halfway down (boop beep beep boop beep boop beep beep boop!). "Uh- huh. Okay. So you're outside? Okay, thanks! Bye! Mwah, love you too, daddy." She put her phone back in her bag. "Dad's outside." she explained, still trying to stuff her cell phone into her bag. "Cmon, into the parking lot!" she exclaimed.
"So, Hisae, why are you with the Hayamas?" Sana asked in their 'deep' conversation. "Well," Hisae started. "My parents died and it turns out that Mr. Hayama was my godfather, seeing that my father and him were so close. So now, I'm Hisae Hayama." "That's so kawaii (another word for cool)!" "But where does Akito stay?" "Well, since he begged to come back to Tokyo, we let him stay with us, in exchange for being my bodyguard. With Tsuyoshi. And.." started Sana, changing the subject slightly. "Why are the Hayamas in L.A.? I thought they moved to New York." "Mr. Hayama's job transferred him here. And he didn't turn it down because he would be more near Japan." "That doesn't sound right. You know...more near Japan?" They laughed until they got outside.
"It's, like, so hot!" everyone who traveled to L.A. exclaimed. "Hey, aren't you filming in Hollywood?" Natsumi asked Sana. "Yeah...why?" she answered. "You have to know english to be in an english movie. Unless it's the kind of movie where it has Japanese people or that's in Japan...but you said it's called 'Exchange Student', right?" "Well," Sana answered. "I speak half and half." "Really? You do know english, right?" "I've," Sana started in english. "Ugh...Actually, I have cue-cards, happy?" All the girls giggled until Natsumi said they were getting close.
Soon, a black haired man loading bags and boxes into a large van came into view. Natsumi ran over to him, put her arms around him and said, "Daddy!" She then let go of him and introduced everyone. She left Hayama (Akito) last. Mr. Hayama stopped packing and walked over to Akito. "So," he said happily. "This is my boy. Well, won't you at least say hi?!" Silent tears streamed down Hayama's face. "Akito...." Tsuyoshi and My. Hayama both said. Tsuyoshi backed off and let Mr. Hayama try to stop his son's tears. He hugged his son tight in his arms and said, "It's alright, son, I'm here." "Daddy...." Hayama choked. "Uh..." Natsumi said, looking confused. "Let's all get in the car, it's late." "No it isn't." said Fuka, looking at her watch. "It's only 12....oooohhh.." She just noticed that they weren't in Japan anymore. "It's 11 p.m." Hisae corrected, getting into the car. "Cmon, I'm sleepy."
**********
"We've made you makeshift foldable beds." Natsumui explained, pointing to cot-with-matress-type beds. "You're staying in a hotel for the rest of your visit, right?" Everyone nodded. "Okay, you guys can change in one of our bathrooms or something..." her voice trailed off like the others. Sana sat down on her bed.
"Mmm...comfy...." "Alright guys.....goodnight....see ya tomorrow...mmmkay?" All of them changed and laid down on their beds. Except Sana, who fell asleep as soon as she got on the bed, like on the plane. Everyone drifted to sleep slowly, but there was a strange figure looking into the house, silouhetted against the window.
