A/N: So once again I procrastinated. I need to stop going on these breaks so I can finish this already. Anyways read the chapter.

Warning: May be a little depressing... just a little. It can also be funny depending on your perspective.

Goodbye, Farewell Party

"How was school, Takuya?" Takuya's mom asked as she was filling out some paper work.. Takuya just came back from school and he was tired.

"Um, great. What are you doing here so early?" Takuya asked as he closed the door. He had never seen his mom back from work so early.

"Oh, I thought you knew?"

"Knew what?

"That I'm on vacation."

"OH?"

" Yep, I'm off the rest of the week so that, on Saturday, I, your father, and Shinya will get to see you and friends graduate. Aren't you excited?" his mom asked while she got out of her seat to approach him.

"Of course." He said unenthusiastically.

"Gosh... it was just yesterday you were only this tall," she pointed her hand about a foot off the ground, "but now look at you. In about four more years you will be graduating from high school."

Takuya grinned at the thought of him growing up. He could imagine himself standing six feet tall and becoming more independent for himself.

"But now, we should look forward this upcoming milestone in your life. You growing way too fast. I wish you were still small to were I could still hold you." She was almost choking the life out of him as she hugged Takuya tight. She then gave him a kiss on the forehead while she nearly cried.

"MOM!" Takuya stressed as he started blushing.

"What? It's not like we are in public or in front of your friends." She clarified to Takuya.

"Yeah, but you might form a habit out of that and trust me mom, you make a habit out of everything."

"I do not make a habit out of everything!"

"Oh yeah, like when you twirl a strand of your hair when ever your afraid to admit something." Takuya explained to her as she twirled a strand of her hair.

"Thats not true." She started blinking her eyes.

"Oh, and when you blink your eyes like that, it means your lying." Takuya admitted.

"Hmmm... oh really?" was all Mrs. Kanbara could say as she smiled at her son, along the way to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"And when you walk away from a situation, it either means you given up or your gathering your thoughts for a comeback." Takuya was on a roll as he walked right beside his mom into the kitchen.

"Alright, that's enough." His mom teased as she elbowed him and started preparing the stove. (no, she didn't hurt him)

(-_-)

After dinner, Takuya went to his room to get ready for bed. Before he laid down for the night, he paused in front of the window as he looked outside at the moon. It was a full moon (not that kind of moon) outside as the clouds went by. For some reason, just staring at the moon seemed to relax him a little, as if he were a werewolf. Just before he finally went to bed a thought crossed his mind. As he looked at the moon he thought, "I wonder if anyone one else is looking at the moon like I am?" He slowly closed the blinds.

(-.-)

Meanwhile, across the neighborhood, a lonely Zoe was staring at the same moon Takuya was looking at. As she cuddled her knees close to her while she was on her bed, she couldn't help but think about how she was going to miss everyone when she moved to Italy. This would be the biggest move of her life and she wasn't ready for it. She thought of all the friends she made during her time here, especially one person in particular..

"...Takuya." Zoe mumbled under her breath. She really was going to miss him.

(-_-)

The next day, after school, in the Cooper's House food court, the whole gang met for their meeting.

Everyone was sitting in there assigned spots they have been sitting in for the past year. JP had a chocolate shake in his hand and Tommy was busy playing his DSi. Kouji was sitting near the window, in his own world. Kouichi was standing in the spot Takuya would have sat in, while Takuya sat across from Zoe. Jack and Robby were coming in late as usual and Bobby sat nearby with his guitar in his lap.

"Do you ever put that thing down? You've had it for three days now." Robby pointed out to Bobby's guitar.

"I love this thing." Bobby responded as he strummed a few chords.

Kouichi gathered everyone's attention.

"We have aull gathered he-ah today to discuss this parte we've been planning many days agoh." Kouichi explained in a false British accent.

"Kouichi, loose the accent." Kouji suggested rudely as he continued to stare out the window.

Rosie managed to come in a little late. She was gone for a while

"Ah... Rosie. Nice of you to join us." Kouichi greeted as he paused from what he was saying earlier. He was acting as if he was in charge of the whole meeting.

"Sorry I haven't been around, guys. I've been out of town visiting old relatives and seeing if they will come to our graduation." Rosie explained.

"I know what you mean." Bobby emphasized as he finally turned his attention away from his guitar.

"Have a seat Rose. So as I was saying.." Kouichi went on with his "speech". "This Friday we'll be having our party..." he continued.

While Kouichi was talking, Takuya was busy looking around at everyone to see if they were listening, but they probably weren't. JP was busy working the straw in his drink, Tommy was busy beating th boss in what ever game he was playing, Kouji... well lets not get started on him, Jack and Robby fell asleep, and Bobby was still eyeing his guitar as if it were his child. Rosie was the only one that payed any interest to what Kouichi was saying (lol that sounded funny. Paying interest, get it)

He kept looking around until his eyes locked with Zoe's. They both started to look deep into each other's eyes as if they could speak through them, and if they could, they would have a lot to say.

They kept looking at each other until Zoe did something that took Takuya by surprise; she reached over and placed her hand on Takuya's hand.

"...And like I was saying, Zoe helped me make the invitations and I would like to say that it has helped us get up twenty five people to come so far." Kouichi inadvertently interrupted Takuya and Zoe's moment.

"So Zoe, how much people did we get?" Kouichi asked.

"Um... didn't you already say it was twenty five?" Zoe questioned.

"Oh yeah. That it is right. Anyways.... are there any questions?"

"Thank God he shut up!" Kouji muttered out loud to himself.

"Kouji, that wasn't a question. It was a remark. A rude remark!" Kouichi pointed out.

JP raised his hands (even though he didn't need to)

"Yes JP?" Kouichi acknowledge.

"So what are we eating?"

"Uhm, you decide. Your the one making the food, remember?"

"Oh... oh yeah!"

"So what will be the theme of the party?" Rosie asked. She was feeling excited.

"We'll call it..." Kouichi searched his head for a name, "... The Farewell Party?"

Everyone looked at each other nodded their heads as sign of approval.

"Oh come on! You people are seriously going to theme this, 'The farewell party'?" Kouji mocked with quotation fingers.

"So why 'The Farewell Party'?" Rosie asked as everyone ignored Kouji and his tantrum.

"Well.... I don't know if you know this Rosie, but everyone is pretty much leaving after middle school." Takuya explained.

She looked devastated as she turned to everyone.

"Oh no... you all... are leaving me?" she asked in a humorous yet solemn tone.

"No need to worry. We'll keep in touch." JP said to cheer her up.

"No we won't." Kouji muttered out loud. Everyone stopped to face Kouji.

"What you mean?" JP asked with a naive look on his face.

"We all know once we leave we probably are going to forget each other."

"What?! That's stupid! How can we forget each other?" Kouichi responded.

"Oh you'll see. I give it a few months, better yet a few weeks, and we'll be living separate lives as if we never knew each other." Kouji explained.

"You know, I fail to understand what your problem is!" Kouichi announced. Kouichi wasn't usually the type to be edgy.

"My problem is you guys!" He retorted back.

"Everyone is your problem, Kouji!" Zoe replied.

"She's right Kouji. You need help." Kouichi added.

"Don't tell me what I need."

Pretty soon they all got in an argument as cups and plates started going everywhere. Even an old man managed to get up and run away as soon as they started shouting.

"Young whippersnappers!" the old man cursed under his breath.

The whole table was covered in chaos.

"Come on guys. Lets not argue." Tommy pleaded in his innocent voice.

"Stay out of this Tommy!" Kouji demanded.

Tommy moaned as he shrunk back in his seat.

"Hey don't talk to him like that! He's only a young kid!" Zoe defended.

"For how long will he be young, huh? It's about time he grew up for once!" Kouji was really going off on everyone.

"I'll never forget ZOE!" JP cried out, randomly.

Pretty soon, a waitress came by to see what the matter was.

"What's going on here?"

"Oh nothing mam. We're just having a friendly conversation." Takuya smiled while Kouji was behind him, yelling at the top of his lungs.

Kouichi was trying to calm down as he sat down and started... humming?

"What the hell are you doing?" Kouji questioned his twin brother.

"I'm trying to block out all of your negative energy ha ya ya hummmm!" Kouichi said in between his humming.

"What?" Kouji was baffled.

"Hummm I do not hear you hummmm." Kouichi went on.

"I just wanted something to eat." Jack replied with an outburst.

"Meeeee too..." Robby complimented.

As everyone was either busy arguing with people, accusing them (or eating), Takuya sat still in his seat and took it all in. It look like reality was finally sinking in to everyone. Here they are fighting when they should really be cherishing these last moments with on another.

"Don't you have something to say?" Tommy nudged Takuya.

"Actually Tommy... I don't" Takuya said, sadly.

But before everyone could finish what ever remarks they had to make, Bobby got on cue as he stood up and adjusted his guitar for another song of "Dust in the winds" (Is that all he knows how to play? Lol).

"Make him stop SINGING!" Kouji shouted as he closed his ears." MAKE HIM STOP!"
