Aki looked at her. "Hey, what's wrong? Don't you want to come with us?"

Arci looked at her. "Of course I do."

"Then come on in! Let's go!" Aki said with a smile.

Arci sighed.
Arein pulled her into the car.

Daisuke looked at Arci. "What did Sora's mom have to say to you?"

Arci simply shook her head.

Daisuke frowned. "Not going to tell huh? Fine then. Keep it to yourself." He put his headphones in and blasted his music.
Aki frowned slightly. "Why won't you tell us?"

"Because....I promised Cc I wouldn't tell..." Arci said. She looked at Daisuke and looked away sadly.

Aki sighed. "Alright, I understand..."

Arci hid her face in Arein's chest.

Aki sighed.
Miki got in the passenger seat and looked in the back at them. "You guys ready for this?" She smiled at them all.

Russell sat in the drivers seat after closing the trunk. He closed his door, then started the car.
"Let's do it." Arein said. He knew why Arci was upset. Daisuke was mad at her.

Miki could feel that some of them were tensed but decided not to ask. She nodded and faced forward.
Aki smiled slightly and looked out the window.
Daisuke closed his eyes and enjoyed his music.

Russell fixed the rear view mirror and drove off.
Arci's phone rang. She put the earphones im and answered the FaceTime. "Cc?!"
"Hey Arci. Make sure you call Sora." Cc said.
Arci nodded.

Aki continued to look out the window.

"Go ahead and tell them. Theyll be happy." Cc said.
Arci gasped. "Really? I can tell them!"
Cc nodded.
Arci looked at Daisuke and pouted. She looked back to her phone. "Late..."
Cc smiled nervously. "Heh bye love you." She hung up.

Aki still looked out the window, zone out.

Arci yawned and brought her knees into Arein's lap. Her eyes closing.

Miki looked over at her two angels and wondered what was wrong before looking at Russell. "I can't wait to reach our destination." She smiled.

Russell nodded.
Arein poked Arci's cheek.
Arci giggled and purred.
Arein poked her cat ear headband. "Why you still wearing this?"
Arci opened her eyes. "Sora hasn't bitten anyone since he bit you know who!"
Arein gasped. "Really!?"

"Sun! Beach! Massages! Eek! I'm so ready for this! A break from work is what I need!" Miki face the window, smiling. "It's what we all need."
Aki felt her phone vibrate and she reached into her pocket and answered it. "Yes?"
"Hey Aki." Shana said.
Aki smiled. "Hey there! What's up?"
Shana took a deep breath. "I need to talk to you..."
Aki blinked. "About what?"

Russell nodded.
"Subject change!" Arci said.
"I got that internship in Japan." Arein said.
Arci gasped. "Really whens its start?"
"After winter break and will last till the end of the year. I'll be back for final exams. But then I'm leaving again."

Aki nodded as she listened to Shana. "Well there is only way to find out you know?"
"How?" Shana asked.
"Call him silly! Duh! He is probably waiting for a call from you. Don't keep him waiting."
Shana bit her bottom lip. "Well...what do we do after I call him?"
Aki shrugged. "I don't know. Go see a movie or go to an amusement park or even the beach."
"I guess..." Shana sighed. "Okay...I'll call.."
"Good girl! Keep me updated." Aki said and hung up. She looked at Arein and Arci. "So! What are you two planning on doing first when reach the start point of our vacation?"

Arci giggled. "I have no idea."
Arein looked out of the window. "Study for after Winter Break!"
Arci's phone rang. "Hey, Hey bro!!"
Sora waved. "Yo? I was bored."
Arci pouted and pushed her earphone in.
"Hey! I met this guy. Says he knows you. Wants to get to know you more."
"I have a boyfriend Sora!" Arci whispered.
"Really. He seems to look a bit upset with you. Just FaceTime him or something. For me? Please!"
Arci sighed sadly. "Sora...."

Aki tilted her head to the side. "Huh? Study? But why?"

Shana took a deep breath and dialed Sora's number. "M-Maybe he will be busy...."

Sora looked away from his iPad. "Oh 1 sec, someone's calling my phone." He got up from his bed and answered his phone, lying back down in front of his iPad. "Hello? Sora talkin."
Arci pursed her lips. "Lame..."
Sora glared at her while he waited for the person on the other side of the phone to respond.

"I have in Internship in Japan after winter break. Trying to become a video game designer." Arein said.
Arci sighed. "Its like one of the most paying jobs in Japan and here, he's always wanted this job. I'm proud of him. But Arein? isn't you being back right before final exams just.....extreme."

Shana took in a nervous breath. "Sora...it's Shana."

Aki's eyes widened. "Really? Th-That's great! I'm so proud of you! I hope you have lots of fun!" She gave a fake smile and pretended that the news didn't make her feel a bit lonely.
Daisuke opened his eyes and glanced at his sister, knowing something was wrong.

"Oh hey Shana! What's up?" Sora said looking at Arci.
Arci held a thumbs up, winking, her tongue out. Then she looked at Aki to tell her something, then she could immediately tell Arein's news wasn't really...good news to her.

"Uh....I was wondering....if you still wanted to...hang out." Shana said shyly.

"Yeah. Of course!" Sora said.

That made Shana smile slightly. "Great! Then...wanna go see a movie or something?"

"Sure. You name the time and movie. I don't mind whatever you choose." Sora said. He looked at Arci.
Arci nodded in approval at his words.

Shana nodded. "There is a new action movie out. It starts in an hour. Sound good?"

"Sure. Want to just meet there?" Sora asked.

Shana nodded. "Yeah, that would be best."

"Aight see ya then." Sora said.

Shana smiled. "See you later Sora..." She hung up and quickly started to get dressed.

"Awesome." Sora said putting his phone down.
"Wear black skinny jeans, red button up with black guitar at the left corner, and your black high tops with red lace. I left some red lace at your place when I spent the night two nights ago." Arci said.
Sora nodded and got dressed, in front of her, neither blushing.
"Awesome! Now mess up your hair even more!" Arci Said.
Sora ruffled his hair up some.
"Sexy!!! Your good bro!" Arci said.
"Thanks!!" Sora said.

Shana put on her black leggings, red and black plaid mini skirt, black shirt with red lace, black 2 inch heels. She put her hair in a high pony tail and nodded. "Okay!"

(2 inch heels are awesome! I prefer 3 inch though. I have like 2 pairs of 2 inch and like 4 pairs of 3 inch. I love heels LOL)
"Switch to phone mode!" Arci said hanging up.
Sora plugged in his IPad and unplugged his iPhone and FaceTimed Arci again. "Keep me company!"
Arci held a thumbs up.

(Lol!)
Shana took a deep breath as she headed out of the building she was in and walked down the street.
Aki looked at Arci. "Who are you talking to?"

Sora walked out of his house.
"Sora silly! Who else?" Arci said, showing her the phone.
Sora waved slightly.

Aki waved happily. "Hi Sora! Wow! Someone is looking pretty handsome today. Going to impress someone?" She teased a bit.

Arci giggled.
Sora blushed. "I hate you...."

Aki winked. "I love you too! And Shana is going to love you dressed all nice for her." She giggled.

"Not what I said..." Sora said.
Arci giggled. "Your words say it!"

Aki giggled. "Shana is going to be so happy! Be nice to her okay? She is as fragile as glass flower."

Sora nodded. "Of course I will Aki. Especially since she's your best friend."

Aki nodded. "Thanks Sora. I know Shana is safe with you! Hey! Since this is basically a date, you should get flowers! Her favorite flower is roses."

"It's not a date brat!" Sora said.
"Girls love a bundle! Bye!" Arci said hanging up.

Sora sighed. "She just hung up. I'll call her back when I get the flowers." He rushed into a florist shop and bought a smal bundle of 4 roses. Each a different color.
