They went back to their hotels and the next few days were spent in the park, Charlie being taught how to blade by Alex, Tyson, Ray and Max. Kenny helped the only way he could; he analyzed her blade and giving her tips where he could. He tweaked her blade and soon, the blade was perfect, she needed to practice. Kai didn't want to blade against her because it would distract her from her lessons. Just as she getting good, it was time for them to leave.
Alex and Charlie took a limo to the airport. Charlie looked out of the window the whole way, not saying anything. The car stopped and the valets opened the doors. The princesses got out and were escorted to the VIP lounge, where the Bladebreakers were waiting to say goodbye.
"Where is she, we're going to miss the plane." Tyson whined.
"She'll be here, just a few more minutes." Ray said, watching the door nervously.
The doors opened and Charlie and Alex walked in. Kai got up from his chair when he saw that Charlie had come with Alex. He wasn't expecting her to come. Ray and Alex smiled at each other and walked up to one another. Charlie slowly walked up to Kai.
"Hi." She said, looking away.
"Hi, I thought that, you might not come." He said, looking out the window as their plane was being loaded with luggage.
"I had to see you off. You are still my friend." She said, rubbing her neck nervously.
"Yeah, anyway, I'll…see you around." He said, holding out his hand for her.
"We'll be going now. See you guys some other time." Tyson came and pushed in between Kai and Charlie and hugged her.
She was slightly shocked, but then she hugged him anyway.
"Yeah, see you guys. Soon I hope." She said, moving on to Max and Kenny, who had still not gotten used to this attention.
"Hil, look after this man. He's gonna get into a lot of trouble." Charlie said to Hilary about Tyson.
"You know it. I will." She said, hugging her goodbye.
"Can I invite you two to the wedding?" she asked them.
"Yeah, sure." Charlie smiled at her.
She saw Tyson blushing in the background; but Kai was still waiting for his goodbye. No one had noticed that Ray and Alex were sharing their first kiss in the corner as Tyson, Max, Kenny and Hilary left the room. She stepped up to Kai and looked at him. He held out his hand for her and she pushed it away. She stepped up to him and hugged him. He took a few seconds but he hugged her back eventually. They broke and looked awkwardly at each other. He picked up his rucksack and looked at her.
"Bye." He said to her, walking past.
She felt her heart sink. It was like slow motion as she heard every footstep he took further away from her. She turned and watched as the doors closed behind him and Ray. They watched through the window as they Bladebreakers said goodbye to each other on the tarmac and went their separate ways. Max to an American Airlines plane, Ray, Tyson and Kenny to a Japan Airlines plane and Kai to a British Airlines plane. She had no idea where he was going, seeing as British airways flew worldwide. She watched as he climbed the stairs and disappeared into the plane. She sighed as the plane taxied out onto the runway and took off.
"He's not coming back." Charlie said to her sister.
Alex put her hand on her shoulder and hugged her arm.
"No." she replied as she watched her sister begin to cry.
