Chapter 2 - Japan Here We Are

The first stop was Sydney, Australia. Tommy and Kimi were sleeping. Kimi's head was lying down on Tommy's chest and as soon when Tommy woke up he saw the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour bridge.

"Hey Kimi wake up." said Tommy as he nudged Kimi a little bit. "'Oh" yawned Kimi. "Are we in Japan already?" "No look we're in Sydney, were not that far away" said Tommy.

"Wow the love the sky line they have here!" she said. However it was night and when the plane landed onto the runaway in Sydney. The two young adult Rugrats went back to sleep.

MANY HOURS LATER

It was 6:30 am and as the sun glared into Tommy and Kimi's eyes they saw what they know.

"Hey Kimi look" said a jet lagged Tommy and pointed out something to Kimi. Kimi was excited.

"We're in Japan!" said Kimi sleepily. There they saw Mt. Fuji, Tokyo tower and the city skyline. The plane landed and so a tried but excited couple were in Japan. It was cold there as it was winter. The two rugrats got there bags and they came for a Taxi. Thankfully Kimi knows how to speak Japanese fluently. They reached their hotel there were two separate beds and a great scene of Tokyo from their room. But before they could see Tokyo, Japan, the two rugrats kids dropped their bags and flopped on their beds. Tommy texted his mum and dad that they have reached Japan safe and sound.

Monday - The First Day

Still jet lagged, Tommy and Kimi were looking at their first sites of Tokyo, Japan. First they went to Himeji Castle dated back in the 1300's. When the reached their by bus, Kimi and Tommy saw it as an a amazing site.

"Hm, according to the brochure the castle was made back in 1333 by their ancient ruler Aka-mat-su Nor-imu-a?" said Tommy, who can't say the person's name properly. Kimi laughed. "His name is Akamatsu Norimua, the ruler of the ancient Harima Province." she said as Tommy was filming him. "He was a Japanese samurai and a clan leader of the Muromachi Period." and she went on around the castle until they both headed outside.

"Wow it's 12:00 PM, want to go and get some lunch?" asked Tommy. Kimi looked at her watch and saw that it was lunch as well.

"Gosh already we've been here for hours" and she grabbed his hand and they both went to a tea house. When they got back on the bus, Tommy began filming.

"Well it's now 12:00PM and Kimi and I are heading to a tea house somewhere in the countryside. Kimi want to say something to everyone back home?" said Tommy. Kimi waved and said, "Konnichiwa Phil, Konnichiwa Lil and Konnichiwa Chuckie" she smiled and waved. The bus soon pulled up to some trees and a small path. Tommy and Kimi both walked. Everything was very quiet not one thing was heard and there was this little hut that they went near. There were people in robes and welcomed them to their tea house.

"Ah konnichiwa" they said and Kimi spoke in their foreign language. They both sat down and drank some tea. Tommy filmed them drinking tea and having lunch. When they headed out, they both decided to go to a theme park and the one they have chosen was 'Thomas Land' a Thomas the Tank Engine theme park and both Kimi and Tommy both loved Thomas the Tank Engine as of this day.

So they hopped on the bus and both headed straight for the train station, there waiting for them was an electric train decorated in Thomas the Tank Engine colours. When they have arrived at their first station, they took the bus which was also decorated in Thomas colours.

"This is cool you and me waiting to meet the one and only blue engine" said an excited Tommy.

"I know it's great we get to see our favorite characters and have some fun on some rides!" said Kimi.

It was a bit of a long run but finally with the Thomas the Tank Engine theme playing, they saw the theme park up ahed. Tommy and Kimi were both amazed! There were rides full of Thomas theme. They went on train rides behind Thomas, Percy and Lady. Tommy was filming and he and Kimi were having the time of their lives! When they both reached the level crossing, Tommy jumped when he heard Bertie's horn.

"Oh that Bertie's horn scared the complete crap out of me!" and he and Kimi laughed and laughed. And as they went through the tunnel they saw Henry with the elephant and Diesel 10 destroying scaffolding They went to shops and have their pictures taken with the Thomas and Percy and the Fat Controller (Sir Topham Hatt) statues. They even had a ride on a truck and saw all sorts of Thomas episodes as statues. They saw Gordon and Spencer, Percy as 'Jack Frost', Emily saving Oliver, Thomas and Harvey met Murdoch and last but not least they saw all the engines at the engine sheds and have their pictures taken. Then at the end of the line, they saw Percy's rear as he crashed into a Chocolate factory.

They went on more rides, such as 'Rock 'n' Roll Duncan'. Kimi has a fear of roller coasters.

"Hang on tight Kimi were going downnnnnnn" as Tommy filmed Kimi screaming. Duncan was rocking and rolling along. They saw Toby at the waterfall and have fun on more rides, until tried by happy they headed back to their hotel.

"That was fun day wasn't it Kimi?" said a weary Tommy. But Kimi who was about to fall asleep didn't say anything. She just landed on Tommy's shoulders and Tommy carried her back to the bus. "I'll take that as a yes" he said to himself.
