A/N: Our Climax begins here, with one unexpected push. Enjoy.

17: December 31st: 8:30 P.M. 177th Branch Office Judgment.

3 ½ Hours until 2015

"Okay Sissy it's your turn."

Kuroko informed me that the callback room was now opened and I walked in. Kuroko mentioned some details of her time in here and said her parents wanted to meet me. Of course the Xbox was opened and skype was set up. Kuroko explained it to me and then wished me luck. I figured she knew who I was calling and it was 2 options. Dad was occupied and I sure wasn't calling him and Index. Now all I had to do was make the call and of course my movements woke it up.

"Xbox, Skype."

As the app opened and listed the call screen of skype my mid went through all the words needed.

"Call Misuzu Misaka."

The screen jumbled the skype calling noise back and forth for a few minutes. It makes me wonder how far technology had come in the short time where now thanks to the internet we can talk to anyone we want to easier than ever.

"Maybe she's not there."

If mom was to have been busy tonight it would be showing my sisters the majesty of New Years Eve. After another minute I was ready to give up.

"Okay maybe she won…" Until I heard the connect sound and one very familiar voice.

"Mikoto?"

Yep she did answer.

"Mom?"

"Hi Honey, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year to you as well. How are you and Dad doing?"

"Let's just say having more than one of you during the holidays can make stuff a little bit hard to do."

From what he told me, the sisters differentiate only slightly and that just had to do with their numbers.

"So where are my fellow Mikoto's?"

"Actually some of them were in the community donating their time and service. Your dad's supervising the New Year's Celebration here in town and they're helping out. I'm just finishing up some last minute classwork before Roku and I here head out to join them."

"Greeting Big Sister, Misaka mentions sending out a greeting to her creator." As 10032 popped into frame surprising both mom and me. Mom and Dad gave their favorites alternative names by adding the digits in their numbers together hence 10032 became Roku.

"Hi Roku, are you giving mom problems?"

"Not at all, Mother here actually admires my help. Says Misaka acknowledging her gratitude at the situation."

That brought a good feeling, I know they won't be around for long but its better seeing them do some good in what little time they have left.

"Mikoto, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah."

I could see Roku getting the hint and she smiled exiting the frame. Now of course Mom turned to me.

"That boy you know, he called me earlier today and he seemed in a sour mood."

"Toma called you?"

"Yes, he told me about the offer he and Index got and how you wanted nothing to do with it."

"Well I don't, why does everyone think were a couple when it's not true. So of course I don't want to spend New Years in the states."

Mom sighed heavily and looked hard at me. Not another lecture.

"Mikoto Misaka, you know that your dad and I have always been proud of you and how far you've come. But it's simply selfish how you simply won't acknowledge your honesty."

That got me peeved.

"Mom, what honesty are you on about, Toma Kamijo is a simple jinx, between him and Index and all of the things that went down this year I simply didn't want anything to do with him again. Frankly I hope 2015 will be better without him in my life."

"It is those very reasons that almost made me bring you home the last time I was in the city."

That actually shut me up.

"Mikoto, that group Skill-Out robbed the office of one of my teachers and I was at the school at the same time. Toma ended up contacting me and went into battle with them. One other person helped us out and we were able to fend them off. When he was being taken away in that ambulance I knew at that point he was a worthy person. He's more important to you than you realize. Tell me this who saved you from that Gravitron bomb maker."

"Toma."

"Who gave you the courage to perform at the school festival?"

"Well Toma only did that when we ran into each other."

"Who came to your best friend out of concern for your safety?"

"Kuroko only…"

"And who helped you defeat that guy who wanted to take the city over."

That made me shut up.

"Sweetie, the day your dad asked me to go out with him was one of those days that stuck with me for the rest of my life. At first I didn't want anything to do with him. But he wore me down to the point where I just said yes to shut him up. Now I wish I'd accepted his offer earlier and gotten more time with him. Our greatest gift was you, the Railgun of our hearts."

I nearly had tears in my eyes. "Oh Mommy?"

"Look, I'm not going to tell you to go after him, But if you honestly know in your heart that he isn't what makes you happy, then you can let him go. But don't be like me and finally accept something just to hear the end of it, accept it so you can have all the time in the world to be happy."

"Thank you Mom. I love you Happy New Year."

"Mikoto, you go get him. I love you too."

With that the skype feed cut out and I walked out of the room. I saw Kuroko talking with a few friends of hers while Jufku was going nuts to Daft Punk. I motioned for her to join me on the roof. Almost immediately she teleported me up there.

"Hey what about my jacket?"

Less than a minute later there came my jacket along with Uiharu and Saten to the rooftop.

"Sissy what's going on?"

"Guys, you know Kamijo right?"

"Ohh yeah." All 3 of them said.

"He's invited me with him to spend New Year's Day in LA. Some parade that they hold annualy in California"

"Oh you're talking about the Rose Parade." Uiharu clarified. "That's where they make all those floats out of flowers."

"Says the esper with the poinsettias on her head." One point of my finger was all I needed to shut up Kuroko.

"Guys I need to know. Should I go?"

Uiharu and Kuroko thought long about that. Saten on the other hand quickly put in her support.

"You should. Misaka the day you borrowed my oven to make those treats, I could tell there was someone special in your life. Now that of course we all know who, you need to take this opportunity."

"Saten's right Misaka," Uiharu chimed in at the right moment "Beyond the three of us, he is the most important person in the city for you. And the couple of times I've seen him, you could see he's been looking for you all along."

Uiharu and Saten chimed in perfectly. As my face now turned to my best friend the face on Kuroko went south.

"Look Kuroko, I know you've always pressed the issue here but…" I could then feel her hand on my mouth shutting me up.

"Sissy, do you remember what time his plane left?"

"10 PM."

"Then I suggest you pull out your frog phone and get a look."

At her word I did. The moment it went on, my face just sank.

"Oh No, it's already 9:15"

"Uiharu do you have her stuff?"

"Right here Sharai."

Uiharu handed me a bag full of my stuff already packed for a vacation. My ID, Passport and plane tickets were sticking out.

"Uiharu, how did you find my tickets, I threw those away?"

"Let's just say my partner's advice trumped your word this time."

Kuroko I could tell was beginning to figure a plan. Based on what I likely could tell what would be happening it was time to bring that to a halt.

"Kuroko, you might as well not bother the airports on the other side of the city and the cabs and buses stopped running 17 minutes ago."

"Sissy, shut up."

I was ready to zap her until Saten and Uiharu came up to my side.

"You have a good time with him Mikoto." Saten encouraged me as she left my side.

"I agree, take lots of pictures and make sure you get a good one of the roses." Uiharu concurred and I could tell Kuroko was going to teleport them back. I humbly smiled and nodded in gratitude.

"I love you both."

With that, they were gone. I was alone on the roof for another 3 minutes until Kuroko reappeared.

"Sissy, are you ready?"

I nodded in agreement, clutched my bag in my arm and grabbed her shoulder. My journey was about to begin.
