~Morning~

Aiko's POV

"Ugh…" I grumbled sleepily, still half asleep. 'Umm… morning already?' I thought. I scanned the room with one eye open and the other closed. I saw Alexys passed out on the couch, her limbs splayed everywhere. I grabbed the closest thing to me and chucked it at her. Lucky for her, it was a pillow.

"Oof!" she grunted, "Thanks, hun, morning to you too…"

I grinned and replied, "I love you!"

"Yeah, yeah, love you too." she answered. I walked over to her, grabbed her arm, and pulled on it.

"Come on~! Wake up!" I whined, "Get up!" She just mumbled incoherently, with her eyes still closed.

I scowled, "Hmmph!" I walked away, towards the kitchen, "Don't MAKE me get the water! It wouldn't be the first!"

I could hear the rustle of her blankets and, then, a thud. I grinned and knew then that she was, now, fully awake. "You're EVIL!" she yelled, making her way into the kitchen.

"I know! Don't you just love it?" I winked at her, playfully, and started getting things out of the pantry and refrigerator. I pulled out milk, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, sugar, butter, and more. I started to make omelets and pancakes. She just rolled her eyes at me with a smile on her face.

"God, I'm totally going to miss you," she said while grabbing a plate and getting her omelet, "and you're cooking!" I lightly smacked her arm, chuckling.

"Whatever," I told her.

~Later that day~

'Alright, got my suit cases, my iPod, iPhone, laptop… hmm am I missing something? Guess not! Oh, well! Even if I forget something, it'll be shipped to me.'

"Alright, that's everything, so I guess I'm ready," I told Mom.

"Alright, sweetie," Mom replied, "Let's go." I nodded and walked towards our car. Once I got in, I couldn't help but stare at the house in front of me, and to think, so many memories were made here. I smiled sadly, sure we'd keep the house and make it into a vacation house, but I'd still miss it.

~45 Minutes Later~

Mom and I arrived at the airport and saw Alexys, her mom, and brother. Once we got closer to them, Alexys started to cry, making me want to cry for leaving her and her family behind. After all, her family is my family and vice versa. I hugged her as tightly as I could without hurting her. "Ugh, I'm gonna miss you," I whispered, voice cracking.

"You know well enough how much I'm going to miss you, so I'm not going into detail," she replied with a small smile, her voice muffled from holding on to me just as tightly. We broke apart and I went to hug her brother, Jay, who was older than her by two years.

"Oh, hell knows I'm going to miss you, you little bugger, you…" I said, teasingly with a few tears leaking out of my light brown eyes.

"Hey! NO cussing, young lady!" he "reprimanded" and grabbed me for a hug. His arms were around my neck and mine were on his waist. God, I'm short.

"You're no saint," I replied, smiling, as I pulled away from him. Finally, I turned to Mrs. Park.

"Mrs. Park…" I trailed off, not wanting to look her in the eye. No words needed to be spoken. She hugged me and sobbed. I had become a second daughter to her and she had become a second mother to me. Whenever I had something troubling me that I couldn't talk about with my mom, I usually went to talk to her about it. When we broke apart, there were even more tears than before. We all talked for about a few more minutes, then mother and I had to go. As we walked away, I looked back, smiled and waved.

"Stay short!" That was obviously Jay. I stuck my tongue out at him and watched as he laughed.

"I love you both and remember, stay safe!" Mrs. Park, most definitely.

"Will do!" I yelled back at her and blew her a kiss, smiling.

We took a few more steps, and the next thing I knew, arms were wrapped around me and I could feel the back of my shirt getting moist. I turned back around hugged Alexys back.

"I don't want you to go," she demanded.

"I know, I know, but I have to, and we'll see each other again! I PROMISE you!" I cried. She let go minutes later and apologized for keeping me. I shook my head and smiled, brightly.

Mom and I walked away again and made our way to the inspection area. We took off everything that needed to be taken off and took out things that needed to be looked at. Now, we're looking for our boarding area. Once we found it, we set out to look for food. We ended up getting Subway. When we finally sat down at the boarding area, we ate and talked. We had half an hour to kill. I took out my phone and texted Alexys, saying: "Hey! :3" with an attached photo of my hand, forming a half heart. I got a reply right away with a picture of her hand completing the heart.

"Attention all passengers, flight 379 for Tokyo, Japan, is now boarding," the flight attendant announced. I took our trash and threw it away. We boarded the plane and took our seats, first class, of course. I told Dad to get us coach seats instead, but he wouldn't have it, he insisted we get first class.

The flight attendants started their demonstration on what to do in case of emergency and all that, I tuned them out. Suddenly, the plane lurched forward and I figured we were finally leaving. I leaned back and got comfortable. I thought to everything that's happened this week and smiled softly. In an instant, I changed my thoughts. I started to think about all the things that were going to happen, making a fool of myself (don't get me wrong, I'm amazingly fluent in a lot of languages, ESPECIALLY Japanese, since it IS my home country, after all, but it's more fun to think of it this way), getting lost in our huge ass mansion, going shopping, all the new people I would meet, and reconnecting with childhood friends. With that thought in mind, my mind was at ease and I fell asleep in an instant.

~About 11 hours later~

I felt someone shaking me and trying to wake me up. I growled and turned the opposite direction of the person waking me up.

"Ma'am, please wake up, the plane has landed. Actually, it landed half an hour ago… and you and your mother happen to be the last ones in the plane," she insisted. I opened my eyes and glowered at her. She, almost immediately, shrunk back and away from me and my practically demonic aura.

"Thank you!" I replied back, cheerily. I was sure she thought of me insane, but I didn't give a crap, all I wanted to do right now, was get proper sleep.

Author's Note: I know, I know you guys probably wanna strangle me at the moment due to my lack of attention to this fic and I'm sure you guys don't want to hear excuses, so I won't feed you excuses. Instead, I'll feed you more of this story! YAY! ^_^

Again, my sincerest apologies,
