Chapter 18: Goodbye

"Have you seen them anywhere? They should be here by now…" said Rika, looking at her watch.

"We only have 20 more minutes! Oh, man…" said Kimiko.

Soon, they heard their voices. Mr. Mori was with them. Chloe and the rest was also there.

"Sorry, we're late!" said Rocky.

"It's okay… Glad you guys could make it." Replied Rika, smiling.

Rocky handed Rika a present.

"It's the least I could do… I'm really going to miss you…" said Rocky.

"Oh, thank you so much Rocky! I'm going to miss you too!" replied Rika and hugged him.

"Where's Colt?" asked Kimiko.

"He… uh… didn't want to see you guys off…" replied Daniel.

"Oh… Alright then…" said Kimiko.

They said their goodbyes, and hugged everyone.

"Thanks for everything, Chloe. You've been there for me and stuff, I really am grateful for having you as a friend. As a best friend." Said Kimiko and hugged Chloe and the rest.

"Be good girls. And don't get into trouble! And continue your ninja training…" said Mr. Mori.

"We will, Mr. Mori." Replied Ayumi and they went in the immigration station, or whatever it is called. (A/N: I've no idea!)

Kimiko looked behind just incase Colt was there, but he wasn't.

Meanwhile, Colt was lying down on his bed, staring at the trophy he and Kimiko won for the Compatible Couple Contest. Then the phone rang.

"Hello?" greeted Colt in a heavy voice.

It was Daniel.

"Hey, Colt! Where are you man?" asked Daniel.

"Home. What is it?" said Colt.

"Home? Colt, you're so useless! Kimiko's right here, and she's going to leave soon! Without even saying goodbye from you! Do you know how she felt when she didn't see you here?" asked Daniel.

"Not as if she care." Said Colt.

"Don't be stupid, stupid! Just… move your ass and come to the airport NOW!" said Daniel and hung up.

Colt thought, "Well, maybe he's right… I should go… But then what's the point of going? I'll just cry and everyone will make me think I'm a baby! Sheesh."

Soon, everyone watched them placing their suitcase in some roll thingy. (A/N: Forgive me, I suck at these kind of airport stuffs)

Then Colt appeared.

"What took you so long? They're going in soon!" said Rocky.

"Sorry, it's a long story. Where's Kimiko?" asked Colt.

"Inside." Replied Chloe. "Don't think you can get her attention. Her back is facing us, and we cant even scream through this thing. Well, just hope that she turns back."

And yeah, she turned back.

"Colt?" muttered Kimiko, smiling.

"Go see him. We'll wait here." Said Mrs. Blake.

"But the flight…" said Kimiko.

"Well, we have a few more minutes… Now, just go and hurry…" replied Mrs. Blake.

Kimiko thanked her Mum and ran over.

"What is she doing?" asked Tum-Tum.

"Obviously, running." Said Natalie.

"Well, yeah. But why?" asked Tum-Tum.

"Running to his Romeo!" replied Chloe.

Colt went to the entrance and waited for Kimiko.

"Kim! I'm so sorry!" said Colt.

Kimiko immediately hugged Colt.

"What took you so long?" asked Kimiko, punching his hand playfully.

"Sorry… I…" said Colt, but Kimiko cut him off.

"Can't talk. I can't stay any longer. I have to go. (Takes off her friendship band) Keep this." Said Kimiko.

"What? But this is your friendship band, and it is your favourite one!" said Colt.

"Well, now you keep it. Just don't throw it, or whatever! Or else I swear I'm going to kill you!" replied Kimiko.

Colt laughed. Then he took out his friendship band and gave it to her.

"Same goes here!" said Colt and hugged her again. "I've actually… got… something to confess…"

"What?" asked Kimiko.

"I… I… I…" said Colt but he was too late.

There was an announcement saying people whose flight heads to Australia have to check in now.

"Oh, sorry, Colt. I gotta go! Thanks for everything. You're the best." Said Kimiko, kissing him on the cheeks.

"Oh, and remember you told me that you really owed me one? Please come back. That's all I'm asking." Said Colt.

Kimiko smiled and ran back to her Mum.

"It's going to be a new year without her…" said Colt as she watched Kimiko leave.
