Time passed and the season had changed, all occurring in a matter of a couple months. Arisu's family had left, and she still kept the cherished tickets in a nice, safe place. New Years had passed, and Arisu still remembered having to argue with the boys to get them to go to the estate for the celebration, barely managing to do so though they finally gave in. The most important thing that had happened though, was graduation. It was now late March and Arisu had just finished forcing everyone to drop what they were doing to pack for the trip.

Said girl was busy in her own room, packing clothes for nice and cold weather since she knew that it could go from sunny to pouring rain in a matter of moments on the coast. She added in her sketch pad, her pencil case, and numerous other small things she would need. She zipped up her luggage and set it next to her bed before heading to check on the guys.

Kyo's door was closest so she knocked on it first. "You done yet?" she called in.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm working on it! Stop your nagging, jeez," he replied, earning a roll of Arisu's eyes.

She headed towards Yuki's room next, expecting a more pleasant response. "How's packing going?"

"Oh, I'm just about done," he responded with his usual kind looking smile. "I'm guessing you're done already?"

"Yep! This is going to be so fun!" the black haired girl exclaimed excitedly. The annoying impatience that had been nagging her would finally be gone soon, which she very much looked forward to. All they had was two days left, then they would be on a plane and on their way. "Well, I'll leave you to finish up." Arisu slid the door closed behind her and headed down the stairs to check on Shigure, poking her head into his room. "Hey, Shigu-... re?" She trailed off as she saw a duffle bag sitting on the floor, but she didn't see the man who was supposed to be packing. She turned to go look for him, but a yelp escaped her as he seemed to appear out of nowhere and was right behind her. "There you are," Arisu sighed, a hand on her chest as she tried to catch her breath. She hated being snuck up on.

"Here I am," Shigure confirmed with a simple smile.

"Are you almost done packing?"

"Well, funny story-"

"Go pack," Arisu ordered, not really caring what his excuse was.

"But-"

"No buts, only packing," she insisted, pushing him towards his room. She was quite a bit smaller than him and only had enough weight and strength to make him lean, but he smiled to himself as he walked into his room, only humoring her.

"Fine, fine. I shall waste away here the boredom that is packing~"

"Good," Arisu said with a satisfied smile, shutting the door behind him.

Okay guys, so I'm still working on getting my muse back for Ari, but I figured I would give you guys a little something for right now. So what do you guys think about me doing it in third person? I feel like I can be a little more descriptive with certain things and it's less restricted since it's not only what Ari knows anymore. So how does it work for you people? Yes, no, maybe so? ~Stormy:?
