Return of Their Past

By natdrat00

Chapter One

Computer Games and Rock groups

In Drancy France, in a two story home on Gambetta Avenue a telephone began ringing. "I got it" yelled Angela, a twelve year old girl with red eyes and short reddish hair. She wore loose fit jeans and a pink shirt. She grabbed the phone "Bonjour? Oh, hi Frank. I'll get them. Mom, dad it's Frank!" she called though the house.

Aelita stopped playing the piano in the den, and Jeremie turned away from his computer in the office. They both grabbed their phones.

"Hi Frank" Jeremie said.

"Hey Frank, what's the news?" Aelita inquired.

"Well I have good news and I have bad news" Frank stated.

"What's the good news" Aelita asked.

"S&S Games has approved the concept" Frank said.

"WHAT!!" Jeremie exclaimed "that's excellent news."

"Wonderful" Aelita said, and then thought "so what's the bad news?"

"Well" Frank said nervously "they need you to go to New York for a week"

"That's not bad news" Jeremie told his friend.

"Well then they need you to go to Tokyo for a week or so." Frank stated

"That's not too bad" Aelita said thinking it over.

"I'm not done yet" Frank stated "They also have a lot of questions about the interface; they need you to go to the States to help develop it while you're still working on the game in Tokyo. In short you may be away from home for about three months or so."

"Oh!" Jeremie said comprehending the bad news.

"Okay, we can work though this." Aelita said taking it all in. "We could send the kids to a boarding school or something?"

"When do they need us in New York?" Jeremie

"The end of the week; they're sending plane tickets, your going in first class" Frank said hoping to cheer them up.

"They sure work fast." Aelita said stunned "Thank you for calling Frank. It seems we have a lot to figure out and not a lot of time, bye."

"Talk to you later Frank" Jeremie added

"Bye" Frank says as he hangs up.

Aelita walks into the office. "Kadic isn't far. We know it's a good school" she states.

Jeremie stares straight ahead at the wall deep in thought. "Yeah, I guess so. But how will the kids take it?" He turns and asks his wife.

"Kids, come in here" Aelita yells.

"I didn't do it this time." Joseph, a fourteen year-old boy with blond hair and blue stated, wearing blue jeans and a gray tee shirt as he walked into the office.

"What did Joseph do this time?" Angela laughs as she walks in

"Kids" Jeremie says to his children with a serious look on his face.

"Yes dad?" Angela and Joseph say together.

"Your mother and I have found a producer for the game, S&S Inc." Jeremie says calmly.

"That's great news dad!" Joseph said excitedly.

"Yeah dad, that's great news, so why do you look so depressed." Angela asked worriedly.

Aelita looked at her daughter, who was a spitting image of her, and said "They need us to go away for about three months. We need to send you to a boarding school this year."

Both kids were shocked and surprised, "A boarding school!?" Angela said.

"Why can't we just stay with Grampa Hopper?" Joseph asked

"Because my father couldn't handle you two for three months" Aelita said.

"Where are you sending us?" Joseph asked

"You will go to our old school, Kadic Academy." Jeremie stated "it's not far from here; you could still be with your friends on weekends"

"But it's still a big change for such little notice" Angela said.

"I know, but we just found out too." Aelita said reassuringly.

"I'll call the headmaster and get you two enrolled" Jeremie said "I hope they will let you go early, we leave this week."

Meanwhile in Soka Japan

There was a knock on the office door, Ulrich Stern look up from his desk. "Sorry to bother you dad, but Hideo is here to see you" said Koji, a thirteen year old boy with medium length black hair like his mother, and brown eyes like his father. He wore a white marshal arts suit with a black belt around his waist.

"Send him in please" Ulrich said as he stood up. "Konichiwa" he said as Hideo walk in and they both bowed. "What brings you to my dojo on a Monday morning?"

"S&S records just called, and did they ever drop a bomb on Me." he says excitedly.

"What do you mean?" Ulrich asks curiously.

"They want the 'Pop Rock Progressives' to open for the Puffy Ami Yumi farewell tour!" He exclaimed.

"Really! The concert in Tokyo?" Ulrich said amazed.

"No. ALL the concerts on the tour." Hideo says as he laughs at the look on Ulrich face from the bomb that had just dropped on him.

Ulrich was in complete shock. He never imagined that the band he helped start in middle school would ever be opening for Puffy Ami Yumi, not even twenty years later, but here his good friend and lead guitarist had just told him just that. "What!? ALL the concerts? You're kidding me right?"

"I wouldn't kid like this" He said.

"I have to tell Yumi, uh um my Yumi. Where's that phone?" Ulrich said reaching for the phone.

"While you're calling her ask her about your kids." Hideo interrupted.

Ulrich stopped mid-dial, his face blank as he realized what his friend meant. "Oh, um, um, cruds…KOJI, CRISSY come here please." He called.

"Yes dad?" Koji asked as he and his twin sister, who had long chocolate brown hair and light brown eye and wore the same black belted suit as her brother, walked in to the office.

"You both keep saying you want to see the world, right?" Ulrich inquired as he finished dialing their house.

"Moshimoshi?" Yumi answered on speaker phone.

"It's me dear; Hideo's here and has some interesting news." Ulrich said towards his wife on the line.

"Oh really, and what's that?" she asks.

"Well" Ulrich starts still taking it all in "S&S records would like to have 'PRP' open for the Puffy Ami Yumi farewell tour." he say, it finally setting in.

"Really! The concert in Tokyo?" Yumi asks just like her husband did.

"No. ALL the concerts on the tour." Ulrich states "Déjà Vu"

"What?!" Yumi, Koji, and Crissy say together.

"Yes, all forty or so." Hideo began to explain as they came out of shock. "There is a meeting at the record office Thursday at 6:00 pm to work out all the small details. The first three concerts are Tokyo, Paris France than LA California in the states then it gets a little fussy. But it's a six month tour."

"Which is why I called. The kids still need to go to school and, when did you say the second concert was?" Ulrich began and asked his friend.

"Early August sometime, Why?" Hideo responded.

"Because me and Yumi know a school near Paris. We could drop the kids off after the concert and continue the tour" Ulrich said thinking out loud. "If the Paris concert is in early August about when school starts, it'd all work out. You might be a little early though."

"What school?" Crissy and Koji asked together.

"Kadic academy." Yumi said over the phone. "It's where your father and me met. I'll call and start getting you two enrolled. Start brushing-up on your French."

"Agu, not French, Can't we keep speaking Japanese?" Koji sighed

"Only to each other." Ulrich said "its not that bad. You used to be almost fluent in it."

"I've sleep since than." Koji responded.

"je suis droite bon avec François" Crissy said in a French accent.

"tris bon" Ulrich complemented her.

Koji stood there looking at them with a confused look on his face. "What?"

"au revoir" Yumi said over the phone, chuckling at Koji, as she hung up.

"Quit than" Koji demanded as the line went dead.

The others laugh as Hideo got up. "I'd better get going. I told Nicolas but not Matsui…" He said as he bowed. "adiosa"

"Goodbye" the others said and bowed as well.

Now back to France.

"That's great to hear. And you sure there is no problem. Excellent. We will be there tomorrow. Thanks, bye. Everything is all set up. "Jeremie said hanging up the phone. "Can you believe Mr. Delmas is still the headmaster" He turns Aelita and their kids.

"Really, He must be retiring soon?" Aelita said.

"He said he had three more years and hopes our kids are as good as we were." Jeremie stated.

"You know this Mr. Delmas?" asked Angela.

"He was the headmaster when we were there." Jeremie continued "He even remembered us. That's why he doesn't mind you two going in early as long as you help get the school set up for the year. Nothing big just moving some desks and chairs around. A little cleaning maybe."

"What cleaning?" Angela said quickly.

"Moving desks and chairs?" Joseph added. "What do we look like?"

"It's just until some other students start to arrive." Jeremie said "anyways they will pay you for helping."

"Okay!" Joseph said quickly changing his mind.

"What's a little cleaning going to hurt?" Angela added.

"Now that that's settled, go pack your things. And leave your bags by the door tonight." Aelita said "We're leaving for the school early tomorrow."
