Chapter 5

*A month later, after school*

The school bell rang and the students rushed out happily.

"Aren't ya guys happy? It's winter vacation!" Lita

exclaimed.

"Yeah! No school for two weeks!" Mina yelled cheerfully.

Everyone's so happy that his or her winter vacation has started

earl that year. Families planning trips for vacation to

grandma's house. Teenagers planning parties and things to do,

seems like everyone has plans.

"Yep! No more studying and more time to sleep!" Serena

said joyfully.

"Um... Shouldn't we get started on that assignment that

Ms. H assigns to us?" Amy said softly.

"Aw, c'mon Ames, get your nose out of the books and have

some fun," Serena said.

"Yeah!" The others said simultaneously.

"What should we do now?" Raye asked.

"How about my place?" Serena suggested.

"Sure!" The others said.

They arrived at Serena's house to find that Susan's car's in

the driveway. "That's weird, Susan's home early," Serena

said.

"Maybe she had to go home to get something," Amy said.

"Yeah!" The three girls said.

"Well, let's go in and see what it is," Serena said as she

unlocks the door.

They walked in and Serena went to the office to see if Susan's

in there, but no one was in there. So, she went to the living

where the girls are. When she enters the room, she saw

something that made her stop in her tracks and her mouth wide

open.

"Aunt Rena!" Heather yelled in English joyfully as she

threw herself in Serena's arms.

"Pumpkin! When did you guys get here? Aren't you supposed

to be here tomorrow?" Serena asked in English, forgetting that

the four girls are also in the room.

"We arrived ten minutes ago. We took an early plane, why?

You don't want us here?" Haruka teased.

"Of course I do! I'm just surprised that's all," Serena

said as she let go of Heather and hugged Haruka.

"I miss you sis," Serena whispered in Haruka's ear as a

tear slid down her face.

"Miss you too Kitten," Haruka whispered back.

They stayed like that for a good ten minutes. The room

were all quiet with three confused girls wondering why Serena

would show that much emotion to her 'cousin' Haruka. I mean she

didn't show that much emotion when she saw Heather, so why

Haruka? Susan saw their confused faces and began to explain,

"those two were really close when we lived in the States,"

Susan said in Japanese.

"Oh!" The three girls said.

"Sorry to interrupt this, but I want a hug too!" Michiru

whined as she walked up to them.

Haruka and Serena pulled apart and chuckled. Serena turns to

Michiru and gave her a big hug. "I miss you," Serena whispered

in Michiru's ear.

"Miss you too," Michiru whispered back as they pulled

apart.

"I'm so glad you guys are here," Serena said as she looks

at the three.

"Well, it's almost Christmas and we always spent it

together. So, we'd have to come," Haruka said.

"Yeah, it's a tradition," Heather said.

"Ahem!" Mina said.

"Oh! I forgot! Guys, these three here are my cousins from

the States, Haruka, Michiru, and Heather," Serena introduced,

"and these four are my friends, Amy, Lita, Mina, and Raye."

"Hi! Nice to have finally met you all," Michiru said.

"Us too," Raye said.

"Yes, but now we should get going," Amy said.

"Yes, Amy's right, we'll see you tomorrow Serena," Lita

said.

"Yeah, bye!" Mina said.

"Bye!" Everyone said.

The next day everyone woke up early and got ready to go to

their company. They all got dressed and ate their breakfast.

After breakfast, they all left and head towards the company.

Haruka and Michiru wanted to see how the company is going.

Moments later, they arrived at the Lawrence's Inc. People

greeted them as they entered the building. The whole place is

decorated with reefs, Christmas lights, flowers, and a big tree

in the middle of the gigantic lobby. Everyone's cheerful and

happy because of the holiday. The people that worked there are

nice and friendly, with lots of Christmas spirits.

Susan gave them a tour of the whole fifty-story building.

Each floor is decorated with beautiful colors. By lunchtime,

they've only seen half of the building. They all decided to

have lunch first, then continue the tour. Serena suggested the

Crown Arcade, because she's meeting the girls there for lunch.

"Hey Usa! Hi guys!" Lita greeted when she saw Serena and

the others.

They waved back and walked towards the girls' booth.

"Hey!" Serena said as she took a seat next to Amy.

"Hi!" Everyone else said.

"Do they have a menu here?" Haruka asked.

"Here ya go," Andrew said as he stood next to them. "You

must be Usa's cousins, I'm Andrew."

"Hello! I'm Michiru, and these two are Haruka and

Heather," Michiru said sweetly.

After they all ordered, they sat there talking quietly. Mostly

gossips.

"Kitten, did you tell them about the Masquerade ball

that's coming up?" Haruka asked.

Upon hearing this, the girls turned to look at Haruka, then

Serena.

"What masquerade ball?" Raye asked.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you guys about it," Serena said.

"There's a ball where Susan works at and I was wondering if you

guys would want to go?"

"Really? Of course we'd go!" Mina shouted excitingly.

"Ok then, but you all need a costume," Susan said. "Or you

all can just wear a formal dress with a mask."

"That's what shopping's for," Mina said while the others

laugh.

"Can we bring dates?" Lita asked.

"Well, you could if you want to. Everyone will be wearing

a mask at the ball and we'll take our mask off at midnight to

show out dance partner who we are," Michiru explained.

"Too bad I'm only four," Heather said softly.

Serena turned to her and smile. "It's ok pumpkin, you can still

go."

"Really?" Heather asked excitedly as she looked up at

Serena.

"Of course! You're one of the family and this company is

also yours," Serena whispered the last comment softly so that

no one else could hear it.

Heather smiled brightly and gave Serena a big hug.

"Well, we should all be going," Susan said as she looked

at her watch.

"Yeah, bye girls, see you at the ball," Haruka said as she

got up.

"Wait! When is it?" Amy asked.

"Christmas Eve," Michiru answered as she slide out of the

booth.

"That's tomorrow night!" Lita exclaimed.

"We need to do some serious shopping then!" Mina said as

she jumped up.

"Hey Usa, want to go shopping with us?" Raye called out to

Serena before she could walk out.

Serena looked at the others to see them nod their heads.

"Go have fun Kitten," Haruka said.

"Yeah, you don't have to continue the endless tour with

us," Michiru said.

"Thanks!" Serena said as she hugged them. She looked down

to Heather and smile. "Want to come along?" She asked.

Heather looked up at Serena with a surprised and happy look.

"I'm sure that you wouldn't want to be stuck with the

endless tour either," Serena said.

"Serena's right, you can go with your aunt if you want

to," Michiru said.

"Thanks you Mama!" Heather said joyfully.

"Aw, can I go with Aunt Rena too?" Haruka whined.

"No! You're going with us," Michiru answered with her

hands on her hips.

The other three laughed at the little scene before them.

"Well, bye girls!" Susan said as she walked out the door.

"Yeah, bye!" Haruka said as she gave them each a hug and

head out after Susan.

"Have fun!" Michiru said as she followed the other.

Serena and Heather walked back to the booth with a smile

on their faces. Both happy that they don't have to finished the

endless tour. "So, are we going to go shopping?" Serena asked.

"Yes!" The girls exclaimed.

They all left the arcade and took a bus to the mall. They

spent two hours walking around and trying on different dresses.

But out of the six girls only three of them found a dress.

Walking till their feet hurts, they all decided to take a

little break and went to the food court.

"I'm so tired!" Mina exclaimed as she sat down next to

Lita.

"Me too!" Lita said.

"Two hours of shopping and only three of us have

costumes," Raye said.

"Actually it's five," Serena corrected as she sipped her

soda.

"Five?" Amy asked with a confused look on her face.

"Yep! Heather and I already have our costume," Serena

answered.

"You do!?" The girls asked in unison.

"We do?" Heather asked.

"Yep! It's at home, in our closets," Serena replied.

"Ok, so that means it's only Mina who hasn't found a

costume yet," Raye said.

"Well, let's go and get this over with!" Lita exclaimed as

she jumped up.

They spent another hour shopping for Mina's dress.

Afterwards, Mina, Amy, and Raye went to Lita's place for a

sleepover, since the next day is the masquerade ball. Serena

and Heather went home, Serena told the girls that she'd see

them tomorrow night at the masquerade ball.

When the two enter the house, they heard voices coming

from the kitchen and Haruka's laughter. Serena and Heather gave

each other weird looks and walked towards the kitchen. The

three ladies are sitting at the kitchen table drinking tea and

talking happily. Michiru, the first one to notice the girls

smiled. "Did you two have fun?" She asked.

"Yep! Aunt Rena's friends are goofy, especially Mina!"

Heather answered happily.

"Did you two buy anything?" Haruka asked.

"Nope!" Serena replied as she sat down next to Haruka.

"Why not? I thought you girls were shopping for a

costume," Susan said.

"Aunt Rena's said that we already have a costume," Heather

said.

"You do?" The others asked as they look at Serena.

"Yep! I bought it before hand," Serena answered. "Heather,

why don't you go upstairs and look in your closet?"

Heather's face lit up brightly with her eye's twinkling

happily. She nodded her head and ran out of the kitchen and up

the stairs. The remaining four shook their heads and smiled.

"Let me guess you're not going to tell us what your

costume's going to be till midnight tomorrow, right?" Michiru

asked.

"Right!" Serena answered as she sips her tea.

"Not unless I figure it out first," Haruka said.

"Ruka, you say that every year," Michiru said.

"Yeah, and you never succeeded," Susan said.

"Never say never," Haruka said.

"Hehe, I'm always up for a challenge," Serena said.
