Author's Notes: I don't own Super Gals.

"Tadaima", Aya said as she went inside the house with a gloomy face.

"Dear we've got something to tell you", her Mom began. She looked at her parents with a confused look.

"Nani yo?"

"Aya we're going to America after your graduation. We have to treat your disease. For these past few months you've been coughing. You'll study there for college also", her Dad replied. At that moment she felt happy coz' she and Yuuya will meet in America. But what will Rei say?

"That's okay fine with me", Aya replied. Her parents sighed.

"I thought you'll be angry dear", her Mom said, went to Aya and hugged her.

"It is okay", she replied. She can't wait to tell Yuuya about this tomorrow.

"Yuuya!" Aya called her boyfriend.

"Ohayou gozaimasu Aya".

"Same here Yuuya. Yuuya I've got good news to tell you. I'm going to America!" Yuuya was astonished.

"Honto ni? Nanda?" Yuuya asked.

"Because I'll find a cure to my disease there and I'll study there", she replied. Yuuya smiled.

"That's great! Love you Aya!"

"Hey not too loud", she said with a slight laugh, blushing.

"By the way I've got good news too we'll sing in the graduation. The gang asked to sing your song", Yuuya began. Aya clapped her hands in excitement.

"That's great! Yeah I have a song! So when we'll we practice?"

"After practicing for our graduation how's that?" someone said. Aya turned around to see Rei.

"Hi Rei!" Aya exclaimed. He nods. "Your plan is terrific!" then she remembered to tell Rei something.

"Something wrong Aya?" Rei asked, concerned written all over his face. She shook her head.

"It's nothing…important", Aya replied. Rei shrugged.

"If you say so". She sighed. She doesn't know how to break the news.

"So…we're singing an English song huh?" Miyu began. Aya nodded.

"Is that okay? I hope you guys don't mind", Aya replied. They shook their head.

"Well let's start practicing!" Ran said excitedly that she grabbed the lyrics at the table.

"Let's practice. Oh and Rei". Rei looked at Aya as he picked up the electric guitar. "Can I have a word with you after this?" he blinked his eyes.

"Sure! Why not?" Rei said with a wry smile. His best friend nodded.

"I hope you won't be angry", Aya thought walking towards Ran and stands right next to her.

It was already five in the afternoon that they finished practicing their song. They were already keeping the materials and were ready to go home. They walked out of the school building. Rei approached Aya. "Aya matte!" Rei exclaimed coz' he was the last one to go out of the building.

"Hai Rei?"

"You were about to tell me something right? What is it?" Rei replied as they stopped walking. If only the ground will swallow her she'll be very happy…indeed.

"Aya! Rei! You coming?" Ran exclaimed from a distance. Rei was the one to reply.

"Aya has something to tell me. Yuuya please walk Ran and Miyu home!" Rei favored.

"Sure Rei!" Yuuya replied as they turned to leave. Rei and Aya started walking.

"So can you tell me?" Rei repeated. Aya sighed. It was hard to tell him. What will his reaction be?

"Rei…a-after graduation I'm going to America because Okaasan and Otousan told me they want me to be cured there. They said my cough is getting worst", Aya replied taking a side glance of him.

"Is that all? Geez I was worried what you're going to say!" Rei said.

"Actually Rei, I'm going to study there…together with Yuuya. He says his parents want to get him a scholarship in America", she added. They arrived at Aya's house; Rei looked at her, eyes shocked.

"Nani? Aya you're kidding right?" Rei asked. Thinking that it's just a joke. Thinking after she gets cured she'll come back here…in Japan.

"No I'm not kidding Rei…gomen nasai", Aya said in a low whisper. She's vulnerable she knows. But she doesn't want to cry.

"Aya you can't do this to me! Tell me this is just a lie! That you'll come back here!" Rei exclaimed grabbing Aya's shoulders and shaking her.

"You're hurting me!" Rei slowly removed his hands and Aya continued. "It's not a joke it's true. Yuuya will also go to America coz' he'll get a scholarship there. Isn't that nice?" Aya asked with a wry smile. But Rei just stared at her.

"That's good to hear. Well…I hope you'll be happy there. See you tomorrow Aya…take care", Rei said, he gave a slight bow and left.

"Take care", Aya murmured hoping Rei could hear what she said.

"Ohayou gozaimasu minna-san!" Aya greeted the next day as she saw her friends.

"Ohayou gozaimasu Aya!" they replied except for Rei who was busy doing something. Aya sighed. She had a feeling he's angry at her.

"Aya", Ran began, breaking her thoughts. Aya turned to the source of the voice. "Rei doesn't feel to talk to you at the moment because you're going to America. Yuuya told us the story yesterday. Even if it's hard I think I have to let him go too. But Rei…just couldn't let you go".

"Yeah I know. We've been best friends for how many years and I know it's hard for him to let go", Aya began as she looked at him, talking to Miyu and Yuuya. "But you've got to be ready for the unexpected right?"

"Hai. I hope you had a chance to talk to him", was Ran's advice as she clasped her hand to Aya's.

"I hope. Arigatou gozaimasu Ran", was all Aya can say. Ran shook her head.

"No problem". Then Miyu arrived.

"Guys, Yanagi-sensei said we'll just sing the song in the graduation ball. What do you think?" Ran and Aya looked at each other as they looked back at Miyu.

"That's okay. We'll just have to practice every afternoon then", Aya replied. Miyu saluted.

"Copy that commander!" Aya and Ran gave a slight laugh.

"Come on Aya we have to practice for our graduation then", Ran added. Aya just nodded as she looked at Rei who glanced back at her and immediately looked away.

"Rei, I hope you have a heart to forgive me", Aya thought as she followed them.

It's been two weeks since they were practicing their graduation and while Aya's group was practicing their song for the graduation. That night will be their graduation ball. As their graduation arrived all students felt very happy when they received their diplomas. And also all of them are very excited for tonight…tonight their graduation ball. "See you at the ball Aya!" Miyu said before they left.

"Right see you!" Ganbatte to us guys!" Aya added.

"We'll do our best Aya!" Ran exclaimed.

"We won't let you down!" Yuuya also added. She just smiled.

"Arigatou gozaimasu guys", was all Aya could say. Only one person who didn't say anything…and that was Rei. "See you Rei". Rei looked at her and just nodded.

"Rei aren't you going to say anything?" Ran asked. He just shrugged.

"I think everything has been said I guess", Rei replied. His girlfriend sighed.

"Leave it as it is Ran that's all right. See you guys", Aya said.

"See you!"

She was wearing a soft blue gown which is spaghetti like and her hands covered with white gloves. Her hair was braided at the sides and the rest were loose. She wore high white heeled shoes though she was not even comfortable with it. But she has to do it. She put a little make-up on her face with a light pink lipstick on her lips. She stood up from her seat and found herself perfect but she knows something is wrong. Coz' she was thinking of her best friend. But she shook her head to forget it. "Wish we're not fighting", Aya thought and she went out of her room and go to the hotel.

"Aya!" Miyu and Ran exclaimed as they went to her and hugged her.

"Hey guys! Don't choke me to death okay?" she said with a slight laugh.

"Hi Aya", Yuuya greeted walking towards them. She smiled at her boyfriend.

"Hi Yuuya! So how's everybody?" she asked them. Rei was behind Yuuya.

"Everybody's dancing and eating! Shall we eat first? I'm starving!" Ran exclaimed. They all laugh.

"That's a good idea! After that we'll dance!" Miyu added.
