Chapter Two: The Last Day of Septemeber

Author's Note:

Hey guys! I am so sorry for updating so late! I didn't notice that Lightening816 already got the story started! I read the first chapter, and I know what to do. Speaking of the end of September, my school's having a Rememberance Day assembly. I'm in the Drama Club, and we'll be performing still scenes and proffesional dancers will be acting out the Green Day music video, "Wake Me Up When September Ends." I'll be in the still scenes, and so will my friends. Anyway, here's Chapter Two: The Last Day of September. Enjoy and review, guys! ;-)

Several months has passed since the Cybersquad has seperated. Their birthday's are approaching, and a pleasant surprise for them will be on this very day. Too bad none of them will remember!

Matt was flying to Mexico City with his family for a vacation. Little did he know that Jackie was also going on the same day, and she was sitting right across form Matt!

Of course, these two thought that each other were strangers. So, they didn't talk.

Matt looked down at the silver chain necklace that a friend of his gave to him several months ago. He opened the locket up with his thumb and saw a picture of him inside, with two other girls. One African-American, and one Mexican-American.

"Who are they?" Matt wondered out loud quietly. He tried asking his parents, but they couldn't remember. His little sister was no help. He did everything she wanted him to do, but she still didn't tell. Maybe it was because she didn't know either...

Jackie was looking at the same thing. And wondering the same thing, too. Her parents couldn't remember, so that was no use. It felt like she knew them somehow.

Jackie heard a whiny of a dog behind her. She whirled around, to see a strangely familiar boy, petting the golden retriver.

"Obi, how'd you get here?" he whispered to the dog.

The dog named Obi just whined.

"He got out of the baggage cart again, didn't he?" the boy's father asked.

"Obi's a bad boy!" a little girl, seemingly between the age of 5 and 6, scolded at the dog. That was probably the boy's little sister.

Jackie turned her attention away from the family and sighed. She'll never remember. Perhaps a vacation in Mexico City will clear her mind. After all, she had to do research for her school project.

Meanwhile... well, let's see...

"Shut up, Cecilia!" Matt hissed.

"Mommy, Matt said shut up to me!" Cecilia whined.

"Matt..." Matt's mother scolded.

"Fine, I'll stay quiet." Matt pouted, and slumped in his seat.

"You still trying to remember the girls?" Matt's father asked, noticing the open locket around his son's neck.

"One of them gave it to me, dad." Matt explained, "I just can't remember who, why, where, and exactly when."

"It'll all come back to you eventually." Matt's mother reassured.

"Yeah, Matthew!" Cecilia teased, "Or, maybe because your brain is so small, you won't remember at all!"

This made Matt angry. "Okay! That's it!" Matt snapped, and began wrestling with Cecilia.

Through the arguement, the kids' mother cried, "Both of you, be quiet and sit down! Cecilia, stop bugging your brother!"

"Awwwww!" Cecilia whined.

Across from Matt, Jackie couldn't help but giggle overhearing the arguement. Served the little girl right for bugging her big brother. Oh well, that's how sibling rivlaries go! Too bad she doesn't know what it feels like.

"Matt, wake up!" Cecilia screamed, "We're at Mexico City!"

"And you better keep your voice down!" Matt hissed. He grabbed the end of Obi's leash and said, "C'mon boy."

Suddenly, Obi saw a familiar mexican girl outside, with short chestnut hair, purple rimmed glasses, wearing a white spagetti strapped tank-top, a purple skirt, and a thin thread poncho with different shades of purple. She wore sandals that were the colour brown, and she wore a silver locket identical to Matt's around her neck.

Obi automatically recognized her as Inez. He barked wildly, and ran out the plane.

"Whoa!" Matt cried, being pulled by Obi, "Down, boy! Down!"

"Huh?" Jackie noticed, and saw that the boy earlier was stumbling.

She chased after him and the dog.

"Down, Obi!" Matt cried, "Down!"

"Wait!" Jackie cried.

Matt turned his head to see a strangely familiar girl. She was wearing a handmade poncho, brown capris, and brown sandals. She also wore an identcal silver locket like Matt's. She had curly black hair that reached down to her shoulders.

"Hi!" Matt called, "Oof! Um, a little help would do?"

Jackie caught up, and grabbed onto Obi's collar. Soon, her fingers slipped and she grabbed onto the leash.

"Whoa!" Jackie screamed, "What's up with this dog?"

"Obi's usually excited, but I don't know why for this reason." Matt screamed back, "Whoa!"

Obi lead Matt and Jackie through the crowd of visitor to the Airport Center. He rushed through the airport, and began to approach Inez, who was reading a book, sitting by the airport's giant clock.

"Look out!" Matt called.

"Huh?" Inez looked up and gasped. Obi pounced onto Inez's legs and began licking her face with his sandy tongue.

"Down, Obi!" Matt cried strictly.

This time, Obi replied. He sat down quietly.

Inez wiped her face. "Is that dog yours?" she asked, picking up her book and putting it in a brown schoolbag that was next to her. The silver locket glittered in the afternoon sun.

"Afraid so." Matt said, petting the golden retriver, "He get's pretty excited for no such reasons..."

Matt's voice trailed off when he saw Inez's face. Inez blushed lightly when she saw Matt's face.

Jackie stood up straight. "Y'know, you gotta tame that dog of yours."

"Oh!" Matt exclaimed, snapping back to reality, "Yeah. I'll try. By the way, my name's Matt."

"My name's Jackie." the african-american introduced.

"Inezalin." Inez replied.

"Huh?" Matt and Jackie questioned out loud. Obi whined in embarassment.

"Sorry." Jackie said, "That name's a bit too long."

"Have a nickname?" Matt asked.

Inez giggled. But, she replied, "Inez."

"That's better." Matt smiled sheepishly.

"So," Inez asked, "What brings you two to Mexico City?"

"Vacation." Matt replied.

"Study." Jackie answered.

"Matt! There you are!"

Matt groaned, "Oh no..."

"Who's that?" Inez asked.

"You're sister?" Jackie asked.

"My sister." Matt replied.

"Matt, mommy and daddy are waiting for you." Cecilia said. She noticed Jackie and Inez. "We've been here for one minute and you already made friends?"

"I guess." Matt shrugged, "C'mon, Obi. So, um, I'll see you guys later?"

"Why not come over to my house tomorrow morning?" Inez suggested, "It's in the Puebla Village!"

"I'll check the map!" Matt called back, while being dragged by Cecilia, "Do you have a cellphone?"

Inez took out a piece of paper from her bag with a pen, scribbled something down, scrunched it up in a ball, and threw it to Matt. Matt caught it with his free hand, and stuffed it in his travel schoolbag.

"I'll call you for directions tomorrow!" Matt called, "Alright! Alright! Let go of me, pipsqueak!"

"I'm telling that you called me a pipsqueak!" Cecilia whined.

"Tattletale..." Matt muttered.
