Ryoko is at the end of her long flight across the Pacific Ocean too return home too Japan. Though her season begins in April she has too ready herself. Training, meetings and testing in preparation for her season. Everyone has been looking forward too seeing her again, especially Heart whom is giddy like a school girl at the prospect of "Ry-Ry" coming back.
Heart: *happy* Ry-Ry is coming back!!!! Yay!!! WooHoo!!!!
Saki: Heart keep your voice down.
Heart: *mad* Sakiiiiiiiii, Ry-Ry is coming back!!! Be of love and cheer!!!
Saki: *mad* I AM!
Maori: Oh please you two. Don't start now...
Heart: *mad* Sakiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
Saki: *mad* Heart!!!
Maori: Are you two going too do anything?
Weiss: *embarrassed* No. I'm not stepping into the middle.
Schar: *innocent* Me neither. Once the Commander and the plus one get going stay out of the way.
Heart and Saki continue too argue as Ryokos plane lands.
Heart: *happy* Ry-Ry is back!!! Ry-Ry is back!!! Yay!!! Yay!!! Woohoo!!!
Weiss: *whisper* You should warn Commander Ryoko about Commander Heart Aino. She deserves a heads up.
Schar: Yeah good idea.
Since Ryoko has landed, her phone is on. And gets Schars text message, it reads "Just a heads up. Commander Heart Aino is being rather outgoing and making a scene. People are staring at us. Just warning you."
Ryoko: Oh for gods sake. (God, Sweet baby Jesus, Dad.... please help me through today)
Ryoko leaves the plane and looks for everyone. Scharlachrot is a easy person too spot, so she looks for her.
Heart: I'll raise my sign up way high so Ry-Ry can see us! *happy*
Hearts sign sticks out like a sore thumb. It is heart shaped and says "Ry-Ry" on it. It is coverd in glittery hearts and is bright pink.
Ryoko: She made a sign!?
Ryoko hides behind a group of people and texts Saki and Maori says "You let her make a FUCKING sign!?" Saki and Maori receive her text message.
Saki: Why is she mad?
Maori: Wait... did you know Heart was making a sign?
Saki: No she was staying after the past couple of days in sch-...... oh.
Maori: I too noticed this. I figured she was doing extra credit. I was wrong...
Saki: As was i.
Ryokos next text messages says "I'll deal with you two nincompoops later. Better come and face the music" Ryoko emerges from her hiding spot and approach everyone.
Heart: *happy* Ry-Ry! Ry-Ry!!! RYYYYYY-RYYYYYY!!!
Ryoko: (God, Sweet Baby Jesus sleeping soundly in your crib, Dad. I need you right fucking now) He-He!!!
*Heart is so happy she falls over from excitement*
Weiss: *Salutes* Commander Ryoko! Welcome back.
*Ryoko returns the salute*
Schar: *smile* Welcome back Ryoko.
Ryoko: You two look like your doing well.
Schar: Well..... it has been boring without you here. *smirk* Now things will get interesting.
Weiss: *smile* Indeed. Commander Petra wishes too see you at your earliest possible convence.
Ryoko: No rest for the wary.... UNLIKE OTHERS *leer*
Saki: *sweating* Welcome back how are you?
Ryoko: *leer*
Maori: *sweating* You seem as fit as ever.
Ryoko: *leer*
Saki/Maori: *sweating* We'll go see if Heart is okay...
Heart is currently overloading on excitement and can't contain herself. Weiss and Scharlachrot talk about recent events with themselves and everyone else. Heart however is being 'energetic'.
Heart: *happy* Everyone Cafe Aino!!! Yummy sweets and celebrations!!! Ry-Ry is baaaaaaack!!! YAAAAAY!!!!! *runs off*
Ryoko: She is very drunk on excitement right now.
Schar: *innocent* I'm tired just watching her go.
Weiss: *embarrassed* I never seen the Commander like this before.
Ryoko: Better go catch up too her.
Everyone goes too Cafe Aino. Heart bakes her heart out (pun intended) and makes a variety of sweets and treats. Everyone eats much as they can but not everything. Ryoko takes some home. When home she finds Kamui at her house. She thanks her for all she did while she was gone, Kamui just repeats what she promised Ryoko when she left for America. After Kamui leaves she gets comfy and re-adjusts too being home in Japan. The next day Ryoko starts training too get into race ready shape...

It has been a few days since Ryoko returned too Japan. She has trained every single day since. She and her team are at Suzuka Raceway testing. Ryoko pulled some strings and got Heart, Saki, Schar, Weiss, Maori and Kamui special passes for them too be in her pit stall for the day. Everyone arrived via bus too the track. This is the very first time anyone of them have been too a race track.
Kamui: I've been around for a long time. This is the first time I have been too a place like this.
Heart: Wooooow... this place is so big.
Weiss: Interesting...
Schar: So.... a place like this were she comes too do her work.
Maori: What Heart said.
Saki: Erm.....
Heart: Saki are you okay?
Saki: Not a fan of crowds.
Heart: *happy* Stay next too me Saki.
Everyone walks the pit lane. Cars are already out on track when they reach Ryoko team paddock. Her engineer introduces himself and everyone else.
Heart: Where is Ry-Ry?
Her Engineer gives a sign of "wait a moment". A car rushes past the paddock area and then says "there she goes." Everyone is shown a monitor with onboard view of Ryoko in her natural habitat. She obviously is pushing the car and herself. Though she is making it look easy.
Weiss: *smile* Commander Ryoko at work.
The engineer gives Ryoko a radio message of "one more hard lap then bring it in." She does do one more hard lap and brings it in. After undoing her safety equipment and exits her car. She sees everyone and gives a brief 'hello' before debriefing with her engineer. After that she visit everyone while her crew works on her car.
Ryoko: Hey y'all. Having fun?
Saki: More like overwhelmed.
Ryoko: Welcome too my world. This is what I do.
Kamui: Your world is a very interesting place.
Weiss: What are they doing?
Ryoko: Making adjustments based on my feedback.
Kamui: Too do what?
Ryoko: Go faster...
Kamui: Isn't there a limit?
Ryoko: Must always go faster. Because everyone else is doing the same thing as you. Just have too do it better, work harder, go faster. Basic principles of racing.
Kamui: (I still don't fully understand this...)
Schar: You seem serious.
Ryoko: "Professional" is the word i'd use but yes i'm taking this seriously. Excuse me.
Ryoko goes too see how her crew is doing and puts back on her safety equipment.
Saki: I don't think she is happy we are here.
Maori: Your wrong Saki: She always enjoys our company. This is her arena, this is what she does. Besides she got us all passes too be here. She obviously wanted us too be. Schar, Weiss and Millennial Guardian have expressed curiosity about what she does. None of us should be surprised that she is acting this way.
Her crew finishes making adjustments and gets back in the car, fires it up (Causing everyone too cover their ears because they aren't wearing ear protection) and sets off for another run.
Kamui: *unsure* I wish I could fully understand this.
Schar: You know old hag, Ryoko will be more then happy too explain things too you.
Kamui: *sad* I don't even know where too begin.
Heart: It's okay Kam-Kam. I don't fully understand either.
Maori: We may never fully understand what she does or goes through while doing what she does. But she seems prepared and okay with what ever happens.
Saki: I agree.
Ryoko does more hard laps coming in many times trying different things. Her team also testing another car of different make from her current one. The new one is American and Ryoko puts it through its paces. By the of the day 2 cars, many sets of tires, a lot of fuel, many notes and busted ear drums are the story told.
Maori: I'm tired.
Saki: So am I.
Ryoko: I could go another round.... or 2.
Heart: Ry-Ry, you have so much energy.
Weiss: Are you a robot?
Schar: Sophie... no she isn't.
Kamui: (I have so much too learn about what she does. Maybe i'll talk too her later)
Ryoko: Still have more too go. Season begins in 2 1/2 weeks.
Heart: *sad* We will see not you much Ry-Ry.
Ryoko: I'll be around. Cheer up He-He.
*Heart is still sad*
Schar: Guess every moment will have too count.
Ryoko: Well i'm going home. More training for me tomorrow.
Maori: Good luck. See you soon.
Saki: Good-bye Ryoko.
Weiss: Good-bye....
Schar: See you later
Kamui: Traing well Ryoko.
Heart: *sad* Ry-Ry.
Ryoko: *sigh*
Saki: Come on Heart you'll see her again.
Saki drags Heart home. Ryoko returns home and cooks a good meal for herself. She studies her notes and make some calls. Before turning in she plays video games in her 'girl cave'. The next morning she begins her routine all over again.
