Chapter 4: Life as it is now...
//You're it
You're the ultimate
It's automatic
I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy
You're it
You're the ultimate
It's Automatic.
I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy
Cuz I've been waiting all my life
For someone just like you
But you're it
You're the ultimate, you
You're it
You're the ultimate, you....//

Our date went great! Good thing my mom works the late shift at the hospital. I didnt get home until midnight!! When mom asked me in the morning why I didn't answer the house phone, I just told her I went to bed early after I went out to get dinner. Yes...I didn't say it was a date. I didn't know how my mom would react. But I did tell her later, she was cool about it actually.
When I told the scouts at school during lunch on Monday, I had to deal with more crying and squealing. Only this time Greg and I didn't mind. besides, I had the last laugh when we started teasing Serena about her plans with Darien.
Actually while I'm telling you all this, it all happened years ago! Right now we're all out of college and working. We still have our scout powers, but don't use them as much anymore. Earth has been relatively peaceful. Although we all miss the good days when we were depended on to save the world, we don't regret where it too us. We're all happy. Let me tell you what happened to us recently.
Serena and Darien got married after Serena finished college. Then next year they had a baby. Little Rini is so sweet. She's 4 now and goes to preschool. The school Serena owns. "Baby Bunny Daycare" opened up 5 years ago and got so popular that the kids didn't want to leave. So Serena opened up an elementary school next door. It's actually one of the highest rated schools in the country now, so she's doing great!
Lita graduated from the New York Cooking school with top honors and worked in a café in downtown Tokyo for a few years. Her resturant, Thunder Café, is celebrating it's 6th anniversary and is rated number 1 by the food critics at the Tokyo Times newspaper. And we all get to eat there for free...Manager's orders! ~.^
Mina won an Oscar for her role in the movie "Tokyo Girl". It was a movie about an American soldier serving with other Americans in helping Japan fight a war and he gets lost in action. And Mina's character went through battle fiends to search for her love and was an undercover spy and medic while doing that. She also had a few hit albums and is often referred to as "Japan's Madonna". But when she's not acting or singing, she's promoting her beauty company, "Dream Girl". Make up and other beauty essentials for the modern woman, as the slogan says. Mina lets us test the products and take them home afterwards. I'm going to need a second bathroom soon!
Raye is a professor in cultural anthropology. She runs the Cherry Hill Temple and she teaches at Tokyo University. She and Chad finally stopped fighting long enough to find that they loved each other when Raye was a High School Senior. They got married after she graduated college and they have a son named Kino. He goes to Serena's preschool too. He and Rini seem to get along really well, and we all joke about how they might get together. Darien doesn't like it much because he's really protective of Rini, but he laughs it off in the end.
Michelle is a respected classical violin played around the world. After winning a Grammy for "Female Artist of the Year", she's played for royalty in Japan, England, Europe and even the President of the United States. She's releasing a new lullaby album for kids called "Classical Dreams".
Amara opened up her auto shop about 7 years ago. She not only fixes up cars, but she custom designs a few for Toyota and was the first person in the world to make a fully computerize car. She designed the car and I helped her with some of the computer technology. On the side, she also drag races and won a few competitions.
Oh, did I mention that Amara and Michelle have a child? They do!! They adopted Kayko last year. The funny thing is that she resembles Amara so much, everyone thought Amara had her. But that's how Amara and Michelle like to think about it. They always said it doesn't matter how the family came together, as long as you all love each other. That's true, and Kayko loves her mama & "papa", as she calls them.
As for me...well, I finished college then went on to study medicine like I always said I would. I'm a pediatrician and I have my own practice in Tokyo. I opened it about 2 years ago after I worked at South Tokyo Memorial Hospital to make my own business. I love my job a lot. Besides practicing medicine, I also got my degree in physical therapy, so now if children need to go to therapy, they can go to my practice also instead of going too far from home. I'm the only practice in the neighborhood, so I have a lot of regular clients.
Greg actually became a lawyer. That surprised us all because he never expressed an interest in law, but he shows a passion for it now. He graduated top of his class in law school and shares a firm with a few friends he went to school with. they got so popular, they had to move their practice from over a store into an office building. So he's doing great.
Right now, we're enjoying life with our new baby boy. Greg was so excited when he found out it was a boy. So we mostly spent our time fighting over baby names. It's funny and we loved making up. We just finished decorating the nursery a few weeks ago when I had him. On the due day, we finally picked a name. We named him Gregory junior but gave him a different middle name, Jubei
So yeah, that's life as it is now. We all don't get yet to see each other as often as we'd love to as a group, so we agreed to have an "official" scout reunion once a year on a weekend. That way we're all together, as a family, to share news, joys, sorrows, and love, like we did as before. We like to think of adulthood as an addition to our already great lives. So to us, growing up wasn't the end of our stories...it was only the beginning.
//(Now!) Now's the time when our star's on the climb
Watch us try for the prize
We're already on the rise
(The rise! Surprise! Oh!)
Well this is only the beginning, Only the beginning, Only the beginning!
Only the beginning, Only the beginning!//
*~*~*~*
Love it? I hope so!! I picked the lifestyles for the scouts as best as I could! I think they're cool...hee hee!
Now for the boring legal crap. Here's who the songs belong to:
