"Gee, it's been quite a year, hasn't it?" Flint said taken aback.
"Now that I think about it...yeah", Asia said realizing it too.
"Kyle is actually dating again, Anthony lost his mother, Dylan and Jenny are actually finished, our band
got signed, and we had a baby", Flint recalled.
Asia laughed, "Well, I can't wait to see what happens this year".
"Oh boy, I hope this year's just peaceful", said Flint, "I would prefer a drama free school year".


"Hm, I don't think that's possible", Asia giggled.
"A guy can only hope, right?" said Flint.
"Yeah, too bad I'm going to be here all alone", moped Asia.
"Oh yeah, Mimi is going to the UK. I'm sorry Asia, I had no idea-"
"No! Don't worry about it. We can just video chat or talk on the phone", said Asia content.


"Okay, I'll definitely make sure to call everyday", said Flint.
"And I'll be right here waiting", said Asia.
"Take care of Cheyanne too..and post some pictures of her on Facebook", Flint said getting blue.
"Noah, it's only two months", Asia optimistically said.
"Asia, you're awesome, you know that?" said Flint as he pecked his wife.

Mimi


"Mimi can you get the door?!" yelled Mom as the doorbell rang.
"Yeah, yeah, I figured", I said already getting the door.
I opened the front door surprised as to who it was, "Oh?"


"Kyle, hey", I smiled.
I was actually hoping to see him today. I just thought he would be busy packing.
"Hey..um maybe I should've called first, but anyway..hey", Kyle rambled.
Was he nervous or something?
"Can we talk for minute?" asked Kyle.
"Yeah, I'll step out", I said closing the door behind me.


"So...you're going to the UK", Kyle said.
"Yeah, and you...you're going to Japan", I said trying not to seem gloom.
"Yeah, too bad Grey is putting us to work this summer", Kyle said bothered.
"You don't sound too pleased", I laughed at Kyle's droopy face.
So I'm not the only one feeling this way, I thought summer was meant for relaxation.
Hanging by the poolside with your friends, or even boyfriend.


"Of course I'm not pleased", Kyle laughed, "I was hoping to spend summer with you".
I felt my face heat up, "Oh really?" I enticed him.
"Well, I think it's only natural that a guy would like to spend time with his girlfriend", he smiled moving closer to me.
"And do things like what exactly?" I asked as I stared him in his comely, brown eyes.
I was actually curious. I've never had a boyfriend before, so I was new to these things.
Kyle laughed, "Things like this for starters".
Kyle wrapped his arms around me and closed his eyes. Were we going to kiss?


I closed my eyes as I anticipated his smooth lips. Grabbing hold of his shirt, I drew my face closer to his.
Barely apart from each other, I heard as the front door creaked open.
I heard someone clear their throat, making us both bounce off of each other.
"Mimi, dinner is ready", Dad vigorously said, "Hello, Kyle", he furrowed his brows at Kyle.
Kyle coughed, "Hi Mr. Lutz, sir".
"You should join us for dinner, Kyle", Dad fiendishly smiled.
"Oh that's not-" said Kyle.


Dad interrupted him, "Honey! Set another plate", Dad called out.
"Oh? Who's joining us?" Mom curiously asked.
"Mimi's boyfriend", Dad gruelingly said.
"Mimi has a boyfriend? Gross", Jimmy mocked.
"What Kyle?! Sit next to me! Move Timmy", shouted Roxy.
"Sir, I should-" said Kyle.
"Join us", Dad ordered.
How embarrassing could this possibly be, like seriously?

Jenny panted as she caught up with Cameran, "Cameran! Cameran, wait!"
"Huh? Jenny? What are you doing?" Cameran asked puzzled.
"Let me...join..you guys", Jenny said trying to catch her breathe.


Cameran began laugh, "Jenny your cute, but no can do. We have a no groupies policy".
"Groupie? Cameran please, I need to get out of here", Jenny begged.
"Are you serious? You want to tour with us in the UK? Did you forget we are men?" Cameran questioned her.
"I don't care Cameran! I'll do whatever so just let me join you, god dammit", Jenny pleaded.
"Okay, okay...so not cute when you beg like that by the way", Cameran said giving in, "I'll tell them you're my assistant".
"Yes, whatever! Thank you, thank you, thank you", Jenny rambled as she stepped on the bus with him.


Steffen began to lose pace as he chased after the tour bus, "Wait!" he yelled with all his might.


"Damn! Her mother is going to kill me", Steffen spat.

"What the hell are those two doing?" Calving impatiently asked.
"I don't know but I'm ready to get this show on the road", said Dylan.
"Ready to enjoy the single life, Dill?" Eithen asked.
"I will punch you in your jaw if you ever call me that again", Dylan glared at him.
"But Kyle and Anthony call you it..so I thought- Oh never mind!" Eithen said flustered, "Is Kyle waiting for someone?"
"Yeah, I think he's waiting for Mimi", Anthony assumed, "But I don't think she can make it".


"Come on guys, we have a plane to catch", Keith reminded them, "Tick tock!"
"Asia, for me to go and come back..you need to let go of my hand first", Flint chuckled.
"Did you remember to pack your toothbrush?" asked Asia.
"Yeah", replied Flint.
"Passport?"
"Yeah"
"Cellphone charger?"
"Asia", Flint warned.
"Okay", Asia sighed, "I'll let you go now".


"You too, Kyle", Keith waved at him to get in the van.
"Yeah, I guess I'll get going", said Kyle.
"I'm sorry Mimi couldn't show Kyle", Asia sincerely said.
"No, I should've expected it. She has an early flight too", Kyle reasoned.
"Bye guys!" Asia waved at them all.
Kyle discontinued his footsteps when he heard tapping.


"Wait!" Mimi said running towards the van, "Hold on!"
She had been running since she left her home to catch them before they left.


"Mimi, you made it", said Asia jeering.
"I thought you had an early flight", Kyle said.
"Oh come on! We were about to leave", Keith complained.
"I-I do actually", Mimi said out of breathe.
"Then you need to quickly-" Kyle said.
He was interrupted as Mimi unexpectedly pressed up against his mouth.


Asia was taken aback as she watched her best friend smooch Kyle, then widely grinned at them.
Everyone in the van also sat and surveyed them, cheering Kyle on.
Keith uncomfortably cleared his throat as he stood in the middle of them, looking away.


With Mimi surprising him, Kyle felt too stunned to even move his body.
"Okay, you can stop now", Keith said as they kept kissing, "Hey!"
"Mimi", Asia sang, "You both have planes to catch".
Kyle and Mimi finally pulled away from each other, left both breathless.


"Let's try keep contact this summer", Mimi smiled, "I'll have my laptop so we can Skype".
"Y-yeah, of course", Kyle said blushing, covering his mouth, "How can she keep her cool after that?" he thought.
"Yes, yes, how very cute. Get in the damn van already", said Keith, interrupting their conversation.
Kyle laughed", Alright, I'll get in".
"Okay, well you can start by walking..walking helps", said Keith as he watched Kyle stand still like a statue.


Kyle sat in the back of the van, waving his goodbyes as they drove off down the street.
"And so..summer begins", sighed Asia, "Have fun in London".
"Hey, you have to try and have some fun too this summer", Mimi ordered.
"I know I'll have my hands full with Cheyanne", Asia gleamed.


"Asia", Mimi said her name.
"Yes?" Asia replied.
"Let's promise, to make our senior year the best year of our lives", Mimi said.
"That sounds like it needs some effort, but also worth it. I promise!" Asia smiled.
"Alright", smirked Mimi.
