Chapter Two:

Fears in my dreams

Sora sat at the table, eating breakfast and going through the morning paper. She yawned, this city was so boring! She looked at the clock… her parents weren't awake yet. It was only 5:45. She woke up early that night - she had a really rough night. Her dad came in late.

"Morning honey," her dad yawned.

"Hey papa," Sora smiled.

"Listen, Sora, baby…" her dad started.'

"Hmmm?" Sora looked up from the paper.

"I have to leave town for a couple of weeks… I've been asked to give some Japanese lessons in America."

Sora looked at her dada, eyes wide. "But, papa… you aren't trained to teach people Japanese… you are trained to work in Japanese," Sora said.

"I know baby, but the money is too good to just throw away. Besides, what's life without taking chances?"

Sora sighed, she probably anyway didn't have a choice. "Can I come with?"

"Iie, Sora, you have school…"

"If you can work there I can go school there!" Sora argued.

"Baby, it's just for a couple of weeks. I'll be back before you know it."

"When are you leaving?"

"Tonight."

"Tonight? And you only tell me now?!"

"Gomenasai. But they only told me yesterday, that's why I came in so late last night."

Sora sighed.

Good thing it was Sunday or else she'd so not be able to work in school today. It was late night and Sora and Karen accompanied her dad to the airport.

"Bye Papa. Love you," Sora said hugging him.

"I love you too, baby. Behave yourself while I'm gone," he smiled.

Sora smiled at his little joke. He said goodbye to her mom and then left to the plane. Sora sighed. She loved her dad a lot, and she just could see herself having endless nights…

***

It was Monday, already. Her dad was probably still on the plane - so far. She was very tired that night; she kept tossing and turning in her bed. She just couldn't get any sleep. She placed her books in her locker - at least she thought she did…

"Hey Sor, you feeling ok?" her friend Taichi asked picking up her books on the ground then actually putting them in her locker.

"Nani? How did that get there?" Sora asked implying from the books on the ground.

"Eh... you dropped them there…" Taichi replied.

"Oh," Sora replied blinking a few times.

"Rough night?"

"No… maybe…. kinda… yes," Sora admitted.

A little melody went off and Sora looked around searching for the destination of the little melody.

"Sora… that's your phone…" Tai reminded her.

"Oh," Sora snapped to reality. She answered her phone, seeing on the screech standing 'mama.'

"Mama?" Sora asked.

"Sora…" he mom began… "The airport in America just phoned… the plane your dad was on… it… crashed!" her mother cried into the phone.

Sora dropped her mobile phone.
