Brain's POV

I hated not seeing Sue Ellen at the airport, but the disaster didn't hurt us. We couldn't use web cams because of her bad connection in Japan, so we sent emails. Sue Ellen was semi-fluent in Japanese and sent me emails in both English and Japanese. It was a fun game for us—her teaching me a language while she continued to learn it too.

I wanted to see her though. I thought of going to Japan for winter break, but my passport wasn't ready. We'd have to remain apart, and though I hated it, the internet was still our saving grace.
