Everyone was seated at the table in Takao's kitchen, waiting for the big news he apparently had for them. Kai was an exception, of course; he never felt the need to attend such "meetings." Takao entered the kitchen with a huge grin on his face.
"Well Tyson, are you going to tell us what's so important?" asked Max.
"We're going on a trip to Star Island!" he yelled as his grin widened.
Max tackled him in a tight hug out of pure joy from what his bluenette friend had just told them. Max couldn't remember the last time they'd taken a holiday, if they ever had at all, that is.
"How long are we going there for, Takao?" Rei asked, looking at the two sceptically as they arose from their dishevelled heap on the floor.
"Mister Dickenson said 6 weeks." Tyson answered, happiness portrayed in every feature of his face.
"Why is it called 'Star Island?'?" Max asked.
"Because it's in the shape of a star, and only famous or really rich people can afford to go there! You know; stars?" Rei stated, matter-of-factly.
"Cool!" Max almost yelled awe evident in his voice.
Mister Dickenson sauntered in, Takao's grandpa in tow.
"Yo, what's up, homies?" Takao's grandpa said in his usual manner of welcoming.
"Hello boys." Mister Dickenson greeted them.
"Hey grandpa, hey Mister Dickenson!" They all said in unison.
In the time Kai had spent watching from the other doorway to the room, he hadn't spoken a single word: hence the fact that nobody had noticed him there. Kai only ever spoke to caution his teammates, and a holiday was something he could certainly do without, in his opinion. They all knew, though, that they all needed this holiday as much as each-other.
"When do we leave?" inquired Rei.
"Your flight leaves in one hour and thirty minutes, so you had better get packing!"
"Then I have to go too?" Kai spoke for the first time, though the distaste of going on a holiday with his teammates was obvious.
"Yeah, Kai." Takao answered before anyone else had the chance.
"I wasn't asking you, Takao." Kai snapped.
"Well, excuse me for living!" Takao snapped back, standing up to come face-to-face with Kai, though he was
"Alright, that's enough." Mister Dickenson cut in, gently pushing both boys to the side.
They decided to put aside their differences. For now.
