I'll Always Be There For You

Chapter Three

'Ding-Ding-Ding'

'Good evening everyone. This is your captain speaking. This is flight 2175, destination: France. We just wanted to tell you that the plane will be arriving in about an hour. The time we will be arriving will be 10:30 p.m. The weather looks fine and we're sure to make it to the airport on time without any delays. Again, we will be arriving at 10:30 p.m. and thank you for choosing Azumano Air. We hope to see you again in the near future.' A click was heard and then the PDA system went off.

Daisuke had fallen asleep on the plane ride and slept with his head rested on his arm. (A/N: did that make sense? Hope it did…)

When the plane's PDA system clicked off, Daisuke's hand fell downwards and his head ended up hitting the window of the plane making a THUMP. Daisuke was awake within seconds and looking around him to see if anyone saw. Sitting right next to him was a little girl of five smiling and giggling at him. Daisuke smiled back feeling embarrassed and rubbed his head.

The little girl was coloring and handed a piece of paper and a pencil to Daisuke. "Whant to drawh?"

"Uh…sure." Daisuke smiled and took the paper and pencil. Daisuke pulled down the tray in front of him, and within minutes, Daisuke had drawn a picture of the stuffed bear sitting on the tray in front of the little girl. (A/N: is that what it's called? A tray?)

"Pwetty." The little girl exclaimed clapping her hands again.

"Miki, what are you doing?" A girl of fourteen asked the little girl.

"Wooky sissy. He drewh it for me." Miki said holding the picture to her sister.

The girl took her seat and looked at the picture. "It's really nice Miki, but you should give it back. It's not ours."

"No. She can keep it. It's alright. I don't mind. Really I don't." Daisuke said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Daisuke replied with a nod.

"Okay. Here Miki. Say thank you."

"Twank yoo." Miki smiled and hugged the picture.

"I'm Suzu." The fourteen-year-old girl said extending a hand.

"Oh. My name's Daisuke." Daisuke shook Suzu's hand.

"So where are your parents?" Suzu asked.

"I'm here on my own. I'm studying abroad." Daisuke answered. "Yours?"
"They're sitting up in the front. So would this be the first time you'd be in France?"

"Yeah." Daisuke answered.

"You said that you're studying abroad. Are you going to an art school?"

"Um…something like that. Maybe when I get into college then yeah."

"College? So that means you're going to be here for a long time." Suzu thought.

"Yeah. I guess." Daisuke said.

"I see. Well France is a great place. I hope you have lots of fun studying in art. You're really good at it you know. I've never seen anyone who could draw so well." Suzu smiled.

"Thanks." Daisuke smiled and scratching his head. "By the way, how long is it before we get there?" Daisuke asked.

"You were asleep weren't you? Hmm…I think they said that we'd be there in about an hour…which would be about…10:30 p.m. Yep, that's it!"

Daisuke smiled. "Thanks."

"No problem." Suzu went back to playing and drawing with Miki.

'Heh...heh…so I've been sleeping for a long time now…I must have been tired…' Daisuke looked out the window at the clouds. 'I wonder how everyone is doing?'

Back in Azumano

"Risa! Come down here and help me cook!" Riku yelled up the stairs.

Risa walked down the stairs sulking and saw Riku putting on an apron. "Riku…do I have to help? You know I'll just burn everything."

"That's why I want you to help. You need to learn how to cook." Riku answered tying the apron and putting up her hair. Then Riku placed some vegetables in the sink and began to wash them.

Risa sighed heavily while she grabbed her apron. Tying her hair and apron Risa said outloud, "I wonder if Daisuke's in France yet. Aw…he's so far away…I wonder what he'd doing right now?"

After rinsing the vegetables, Riku placed them on the counter and began cutting them. "You know. It'd be nice if you helped."

"Alright…" Risa grabbed a knife and began cutting vegetables with Riku, but she was having a hard time because all the vegetables turned out to be different sizes.

"Ugh. I can't get this right…" Risa said as she put down her knife. "Hey Riku. Do you really love Dark?"

Riku continued to cut the vegetables. "Of course I do. Why do you ask?"

"Well…didn't you say one time that you liked Daisuke?" Risa asked.

"OW!" Riku quickly put the knife on the counter and went to the sink to wash her hand.

Risa ran to get a bandage. Turning off the water, Risa took Riku's hand and put the bandage on. "That wasn't like you. You're never the one to cut your finger." Risa said with a smile.

However, her smile faded when she saw Riku's face.

"…Riku…" Risa hugged her older sister when she saw tears running down Riku's cheeks.

France

Daisuke walked out of the airport gates and picked up his luggage. He was about to exit the airport when Suzu ran up to him.

"Daisuke! Come here for a bit." Suzu grabbed his arm and pulled him in a direction opposite of the airport exit.

"Wait…Suzu were are we going?"

"To meet my parents."

"What? Wait!"

Suzu dragged Daisuke by the arm and stopped when she met up with her parents and Miki.

"Mom. Dad. This was the boy I was talking about."

"So you must be Daisuke. Nice to meet you." Asked Suzu's mom.

Daisuke nodded. "Nice to meet you ma'am."

"Please. Call me Mrs. Koboshi. And you can my husband Mr. Koboshi." She said smiling.

"So Daisuke. Where do you plan on living now that you're here in France?" Asked Mr. Koboshi.

"Uh…wow…I didn't think of that." Daisuke realized.

Mr. Koboshi laughed. "Well, Suzu was right. How about you stay at our place?"

"No…I couldn't do that." Daisuke said shaking his head.

"You're such a nice boy. But we insist. We don't want you out looking for a place on your own. Do you have money?" Mrs. Koboshi asked.

"Uh…now that you mention it…I don't have that either…" Daisuke sighed.

"Then by all means, please come stay at our home for as long as you like. We just moved and so we have a spare room." Mrs. Koboshi said.

"Yeah. So what do you say?" Mr. Koboshi asked.

"Please?" Suzu begged.

"Puh-weez?" Miki mimicked Suzu.

Daisuke knew he was out of luck. "If it's really alright…"

"Of course it is. It wouldn't be any problem at all." Mr. Koboshi said putting his arm around Daisuke. "Of course, we'd be need you to pay a little rent."

"Honey!"

"Dad!"

"Daddy!"

"I'm just kidding. If you need any help in paying anything. Please let us know." Mr. Koboshi said with a laugh.

"Thanks…" Daisuke said with a goofy smile.

"Way! Dai-ki get twoo stwae." Miki said.

So the Koboshi family and Daisuke all got into a cab and drove to the Koboshi families' home.

Daisuke was showed the guest room and began to unpack.

"So, do you like our house?" Suzu asked.

"Yeah. It's big." Daisuke answered.

"Okay. Well mom told me to tell you that relax and feel at home. If you need anything just let me know okay?" Suzu said.

"Alright."

Suzu left Daisuke alone and closed the door. After a while of unpacking and looking around the room, Daisuke took out his cell and decided to call his mom.

He ending up spending about three to four hours talking to his mom when he called. He was able to talk to his dad and grandpa every once in a while.

"Okay mom. I've gotta go. I'll call you again tomorrow okay? Alright. Don't worry. I'll be fine mom. Tell everyone I said bye. Love you all. Bye." Daisuke ended the call and then decided to call Riku and Risa's house.

Ring Ring.

"Hello. Harada residence, Risa Harada speaking."

"Uh…Risa?" Daisuke said into the receiver.

"Daisuke, is that you?" Risa said happily. "Hey are you in France already? Aw I miss you so much."

"Haha…Yeah miss you too. Even though I've only been gone for about a couple of hours now."

"Really? What time is it in France. It should be pretty late there."

"Um…It's about 11 p.m." Daisuke said looking an alarm clock sitting on a desk.

"I see. You should get some sleep since it's late." Risa said.

"Yeah. Uh…Is Riku there?" Daisuke asked.

"No. She went over to Dark's house about an hour ago. It's about 3 in the afternoon here." Risa said.

"I see. Alright. Well when she gets home. Then tell her I said hi."

"Okay. I'll talk to you later then okay?" Risa said.

"Yeah. Bye." Daisuke hung up and laid down on the bed. Even though he had been sleeping on the whole plane ride, he was easily overcome with drowsiness.

"Guess it's about time I forgot about her and started a new kind of life. A life without her…"

The minute he closed his eyes, he quickly fell asleep and didn't wake up until the next morning.
