Chapter 3
Tai woke up several hours after the plane took off in Tokyo. This was his first flight experience. He never thought it would be, at the most, boring. He thought that it would be very exciting and 'fun'. Sitting on a plane till they arrived at their destination was not 'fun'. He wasn't even allowed to get up and walk around, at all! His legs were very cramped up in the small seats that the plane contained to carry passengers to and from other countries. But the only thing that made it worth while was the fact that he was going to be with the very girl he loved. Mimi. She sat next to Tai.
Tai noticed that the flight did not, indeed, seem to affect or bore Mimi. She almost seemed to be enjoying it. But he couldn't really tell if it was because he was with her, or that she was almost glad to part from the small Nipponese villages and culture. It was undeterminable. Tai then thought for a moment as Mimi sat there sleeping, resting her head, against his shoulder if leaving his family was a good move or not .He was still debating if Kari still needed his advice and comfort, his company, his two cents worth of ideas. He wondered if his choice making was too rash, and way too quick.
But then he looked down at Mimi. He didn't want to leave her behind anymore. He wanted to be there with her. And Tai's parents did say that they did let him go and be with Mimi and her family. He wished that maybe his family could have gone with him. But now it was his turn to make choices. He was done school. He was on his own, and now he was fully capable to do whatever he wanted to do, with in reasonable limits. But Tai wasn't one to take limits lightly. He always stretched them to unreasonable lengths and the results usually became disastrous. But he knew making this one choice to be with Mimi would not, in fact, be as disastrous as his past relationships. He hoped.
Mimi sat up fully, and stretched her resting ligaments and muscles and looked in my face. She smiled brightly, as I couldn't help but exchange the beautiful smile back. She had always had that effect. It wasn't fair sometimes, but it was something Tai noticed defined Mimi. Her hair was semi messy, but he didn't care. He usually wasn't big on looks. He was more interested in what the heart had, feelings, and emotions. And Mimi was that one. She was an amazing girl, a girl whose thoughts and agenda's weren't always about her self, but concerning both her and him. Something, that Sora, through past experiences made quite evident. She was always way too full of her self. She had a bad habit of bragging her self too much, and always wanting to do what she felt she wanted to do, while she usually, but not all the time, left him out.
"How come your not sleeping, Tai?" asked Mimi, as she yawned very briefly, still containing that incredible smile.
He almost had to sit and think why. He really wasn't sure at all. "It's my first time, I guess. I'm sort of nervous, but also excited. I take it you must be very used to flying on planes. It's hard to sleep on a plane!" explained Tai, as he picked out her semi messy hair.
"Yeah. I've done this many times before. Dad and mom do a lot of major traveling and cross country exploring. By the third or forth time traveling by plane, I kind of got used to it, and started to be able to sleep, as it never jarred me at all. Oh and when you get off, you might have something called 'jet lag'. It's like a really weird version of a cold. Your head gets stuffed up, and everything moves very slow. But dad has special pills for it, in case you do!" explained Mimi, as she pointed up at her dad's seat.
She then reached for his cheek and kissed it and fell back asleep. He then wondered if he should attempt to return to an internal slumber. Then as Tai though, he though of the words he used. '…will you marry me?' Tai then realized now it was his life. He wasn't 'leaving' his parents at an early time. It was time for him to leave. He was nineteen. He had to start and make many choices for himself. And this was one of them. And he also was a hundred percent sure he was making the most important decision in his life. He kissed Mimi's resting head, then leaned his head on hers and began to drift into a internal world of happiness, joy and arrival.
