Ryoko is driving too Atlanta for a relaxing day at a spa. It is a rare treat for her, she has the money too go whenever she wants but she likes too make it a rare thing. With the long drive, she is using her Dodge Ram pick up for a comfortable trip. While she drives, she reflects on her friends in Japan, which she met in a variety of different circumstances.
Heart: (Ry-Ry!!! Come on, try some of my yummy sweets. I know you will like them!!!)
Ryoko: (Heart. She is so positive and she quickly bounds back from something that knocks her down. She may have the body of a 14 year old but she is like a child. Endless energy, happiness and "Heartness." And she is a good cook. I'd weigh a hell of a lot more if eat at Café Aino everyday. Just wish she would slow down a bit. But then again the world needs more people like Heart in it. *smile*)
Saki: (Miss Ryoko, your food is wonderful. As are your stories of you and your family.)
Ryoko: (Saki, you still suck at cooking. But it is the thought that counts. I can tell though that she has a hard time opening up too others. She only goes too Heart about such things.... that isn't healthy. I have made attempts too help her open up but she has shot me down. I will not push her but I want too help her. Saki is a great person though, if a bit in your face about certain things.)
Ryoko first met Heart and Saki at their school. There normal home economy teacher was sick for a week. Since Ryoko has a cooking degree, their school called her in too teach class. Hearts cooking skills stood out over everyone elses. While Sakis was far behind everyone elses. Ryoko gave her a passing grade everytime, because failing her didn't make sense since she did all the work of everyone else. They met the next day, Heart declared them friends. Ryoko didn't object and found Hearts positive energy uplifting.
Kamui: (You are a very interesting person. As is your chosen career path. You have done so much in such little time. Makes me want too push myself even more.)
Ryoko: (Millenial Guardian...... you are so wise. What your eyes have seen, my eyes can never see. Yet you still must learn the world anew when you awaken. You carry such a burden but you handle it with class and grace. I wish I could help you but I have a feeling that wouldn't take it unless you really needed it. And for some who is hundreds of years old, should know how too drive *smirk*)
Kamui met Ryoko while she was hanging out with Saki and Heart. Ryoko had heard of Kamui but never seen her in person until that day. Kamui picked up on Ryokos intelligence quickly and asked (by Kamuis admition) a stupid question about her phone. Kamui regularly asked Ryoko about technology and world... including her career/life path. Kamui is always interested in talking too her.
Schar: (Oh, Ryoko. What will we do today? Cooking? A ride in your personal transport? *smirk* You know i'd like that. I will follow your instructions.)
Ryoko: (At first I didn't like Scharlachrot. But she really isn't that bad of a person. Yeah she just about destroyed Japan but that was the Drexler Institue working their evil. When Petra asked me too help her and Weiss re-integrate back into society. I thought I would have my hands full. Schar is further along then I gave her credit for. And we both agree that Clarice needs a kick too the face.)
Weiss: (*Salutes* Commander Ryoko. Commander Petra told i'd be with you today. I will follow your instructions too the letter.)
Ryoko: (Oh Weiss.... when you will stop being so trusting? I'd could tell her too jump off a bridge and she might very well do it. But Weiss is a great though. Hard working and loyal. Further behind Schar though, has a lot of work too do. But is making progress. And she needs too stop calling me Commander!!!)
Ryoko met Scharlachrot and Weiss at Café Aino with Heart learning how too bake. While not under her orders, they did mention that Heart frequently mentioned her and they were interested in learning more about her (and her cooking). So they asked Petra for a day with her and they got it. The rest is history.
Maori: (*smile* i'm happy too have you around the shrine. My younger sisters enjoy playing with you and I always enjoy talking too you. Your viewpoints always make me think. And your food is good too.)
Ryoko: (Your the sister I've never had Maori. We maybe different in many ways but we are sisters. we share hugs, food and sometimes trouble. But we pull through.)
The "sisters" met with Ryoko with was Heart and Saki. They started a friendship from the moment they spoke too each other. It turned into sistership over Ryokos summer break. Whenever Ryoko isn't hanging out with Saki and Heart. She is with Maori. Hanging out and doing things that they enjoy.
Ryoko gets too her destination and enjoys a 3 hour treatment. On the drive back she decides too send Heart, Saki, Kamui, Weiss, Scharlachrot and Maori a shared text message. She figures being night time in Japan she'll get responses later but too her surprise she gets them quickly.
Heart: "I miss you too Ry-Ry!!! :-)"
Saki: "We all miss you. We await your return."
Schar: "It is has been boring without you here. Come back as soon as you are able too."
Weiss: "I await more of your instruction on your food. And too train with you. Which you promised Commander Petra. *salutes*"
Ryoko: Oh for crying out aloud Weiss!!!
Kamui: "Things are quiet without you here. Sometimes my mind drifts too our past conversations. I look forward too more.... and some of your pizza."
Maori: "Things are dull without you here. My sisters miss you too. They are getting bored playing with each other. You are apart of my family, don't forget that. Come back soon.... sister. :-)"
Ryoko has too pull over and collect her emotions. She does miss them and time isn't passing by fast enough. The urge too go back too Japan and her urge too race are getting stronger. But she still has things too do back home. Getting back on the track she drives with purpose home. When home she prepares with a new sense of resolve for tomorrows activities. Knowing it brings her one day closer too going back too Japan.
