Chapter 2
Getting Lost in NYC
16 hours (A/N: this is NOT the correct time going from Japan to America! ) 10 minutes, 30 chess games and a 300 page book later, they arrived at Newark airport in New Jersey. Because of Taichi's bad sense of direction and names, he had gotten them tickets for Newark airport instead of JFK airport. Hikari got mad at him, but she was thankful that it was only about a 30 minute ride with traffic to New York.
( A/N: the first paragraph is bad!!! NO FLAMING THE FIRST PARAGRAPH PLZ!!)
Takeru's POV
We walked out of the gate very slowly. I mean, so slow,that the busload of senior citizens behind us walked right by us. We were REALLY tired. I think I even forgot how to use my legs.
" My legs hurt. We should've stayed home, but because of my stupid sister..."
Tai murmured unhappily. He shot a look at Hikari. Unfortunatly for him, Hikari heard and saw him and she gave him a hard whack. That was a warning to shut up and be quiet for the rest of the trip or else he'd be in a body cast when they arrived home.
We finally arrived at the end of the gate. We all streched and yawned before attempting to find luggage pick-up. As usual, we got lost. It took us a half hour to find luggage pick-up. I felt like hurting him. He WASN'T going to ruin my trip with Hikari. I was about to hit him, but Hikari grabbed my arm before I got the chance.I pouted and she put her arm around my shoulers. I blushed a bit. Figuring that that might be an uncomfortable position for her, being that I'm about 5 inches taller than her, I put my arm around her tiny waist. Now it was her turn to blush. I just smiled and we continued our journey through this jungle of an airport.
We finally found the luggage pick-up. Of course the one and only Taichi picked up 5 other peoples luggage before he found his own. Hikari found her's immeadiatly, but mine nver came out, so Hikari and I doubled-back to customer service.After 20 minutes o hecticness, the airport people found my luggage. Hikari and I had to listen to the manager apologize about 10 times before we started back to find Taichi and Yamato.
" I can't believe these stupid people put my luggage on the luggage pick up for AUSTRIA. Shows how responsible THEY are. " I whined.
" Takeru, stop whining. Be thankful you actually found your luggage."
" I wonder what would happen if they didn't find it?"
" You'd either have to wear the same clothes for the whole trip, buy new clothes, or..." She smirked. " Walk around New York in your boxers."
She started cracking up at her last statement. I watched her go red in the face...purple....a shade of blueish-black......until I realized she wasn't breathing. I patted and rubbed her back hoping she would regain air intake. Sooner or later, she started breathing again. She was quiet for a couple of minutes before I heard her giggle under her breath. I sighed and sweat- dropped.
After grabbing a bite to eat, we all headed for the Rent-A-Car place.While Hikari, Yamato and I waited for Taichi to get a car, we started to talk about what we were going to do while in New York.
" I want to go to Rockafeller Center, Toys R Us, Times Square, 42nd Street, we HAVE to make sure we see a broadway play, and we MUST go to Central Park! AND WE HAVE TO GO SHOPPING!!!" Hikari stated excitedly
" I'll go where ever you go, Hikari. It's your birthday, I'm not gonna argue." I agreed.
" I don't think Taichi can go EVERYHERE in New York, Hikari. Maybe you should limit your places that you want to go to." Yamato said reasonably. Hikari glared at him and pouted.
" Party pooper..."
" Hikari if you want to go somewhere and Taichi refuses to take you, I'll walk with you. It can't be THAT bad walking in the streets of New York, right?" I tried to encourage her. After all, if she had a horrible time in New York, I wouldn't have a chance to tell her how I feel.
" Thanks, Take-chan. At least SOMEONE wants to have fun on this trip..." She said as she glared at Yamato. Just then, Taichi came back with car keys in his hands.
" Let's go, gang. We have to be at the hotel by 9 AM in their time, and right now its....8:30!! O crap, come on, lets get going!!!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
On the way up to New York, Hikari took out her camera. This obviously means she's going into her trance. Any time Hikari takes her camera out, it's like she's putting a sign up that says 'Interupt me while I'm taking pictures and DIE'. She started taking pictures of the sceanery, then stopped and looked at Taichi.
" Onii-san, can you SLOW DOWN??!! I'm TRYING to take pictures!"
" Yea yea yea....whatever...."
Taichi lowered his speed from 45 MPH to 43 MPH. I could tell that she wanted to hit him, so when she looked at me, I gave her a look that said ' Don't do it; he's a good guy'. She just sighed and started taking pictures again.
Hikari's POV
After Takeru gave me that adorable look that says ' Don't do it; he's a good guy' I turned around to get more pictures. Being in America was AMAZING; there were so many new things that weren't in Japan to get on camera. As we traveled up the New Jersey Turnpike, anticipation started building up in me. I was really excited about getting new pictures for my scrapbook, probably getting an A on my Foriegn Country report, and visiting probably the most famous place in America. Nothing could make me happier. Well, except maybe for Takeru asking me to be his girlfriend. That would be pure HEAVEN. But I'll never have a chance with him. He's too popular. He probably has a crush on a cheerleader. I guess I just have to face that he'll never like me.
10 minutes later, I ran out of film. I put my camera away frustratedly. I pouted and looked out the window. Takeru must have seen me, because I heard a chuckle that could only belong to the tall, muscular, kind-hearted Takashi Takeru. God, I love him so much...
We finally started to approach the Lincoln Tunnel. as we started up a small hill leading to either Northern New Jersey or New York. There were so many busses going into and from the tunnel! I could only count 50, but I'm sure there were so many more. Just seeing the headings on the busses; New York, via 42nd Street, Brooklyn, New York Local; made me so excited. I couldn'd WAIT to get there and go SHOPPING!
I watched the not very large meadows gleaming with light from the previously risen sun. Cars were going up and down the small incline, not caring about local speed laws. More anticipation by the minute. I coulnd't contain myself.
" Taichi, could you turn on the radio? "
I asked politely. He just mumbled something and turned on some random radio station. The music was pretty good here in America. Soon, some guy came on saying that this was " Z100, New York's #1 Hit Music Station". My anticipation level rose by 10. I started to get way too excited. My leg was twiching and my eye was buggin' out. Takeru looked at me and put a hand on my shoulder. I immeadiatly stopped and froze; LITTERALY. Having him touch me always made me nervous. I tried to maintain calmness. I love Takeru so much.
" Hikari, are you ok? Calm down, New York may have some really fun past- times, but I'm sure when we go home you'll be exhausted, and you'll say ' I think I've had enough New York for now'. " He said. He started to laugh and so did I. I didn't know what we were laughing about, but I would feel awkward if he was laughing and I was sitting there with absolutely NO clue what-so-ever. So I laughed.
Taichi grabbed Yamato's hand as we approached the tunnel itself. Yamato turned to face him with a confused look on his face. Taichi just grinned widely.
" My stupid sister got my all excited now....I hope theres two bedrooms..." Taichi said with a sly grin. Then Yamato and Taichi laughed, and Takeru and I just sweat-dropped and whacked them upside their heads.
" Taichi, if I find out you 'do' anything with Yama, mom is gonna find out!!"
" HIKARI DON'T YOU DARE!!! I SWEAR I'LL HURT YOU!!!"
" Ok, ok!! Point taken..."
I said as Taichi kissed his koi. It was NASTY. I never thought my brother would EVER be a homo.
We're in the tunnel. We're progressing towards New York. The anticipation inside of me was building faster and faster. I was jumping up and down in my seat now. I had to hold Takeru's hand to keep myself from screaming. My dream was coming true. I was in New York. I let out a whimper of happiness, and Takeru smiled at me. I loved his smile. I love Takeru, too.
I SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL! Well, that was corny. We're coming closer, closer closer....
I, Yagami Hikari, am in New York. I'm crying. I grasped Takeru's hand tighter as he handed me a tissue. Thanking him, I took it and wiped the tears from my eyes. What I thought was impossible became possible. The unthinkable was now thinkable. My dreams were now a reality. I was in New York City.
