"Oh...my god." I let out a breath as my parents and I walk into our house. "It doesn't feel real."

"I'm so proud of you baby!" My father takes me into his arms, almost squeezing the life out of me.

We graduated today. I'm officially out of high school and starting college soon. And Kei is officially part of the Sendai Frogs!!

I haven't seen him much today except for before the ceremony since we both went out to celebrate with our families separately after.

"Thank you guys." My bottom lip juts out and I turn to take both of them into my arms.

"Lord, you ain't gonna cry again are you?" My father asks and I laugh, shaking my head.

"You're mean." I whine and he laughs, squeezing me.

"My little girl...I can't believe you're growing up." He sighs and we pull away from each other. "Your mother and I got presents for you..."

"More?" I raise an eyebrow. They already gifted me a laptop for college earlier in the day.

"Yes. Let's go to the living room." My mother grins, excitedly pushing me to sit down in the other room.

I blink in confusion, not understanding why they're so excited.

"I don't need any more gifts-"

"Shhh! You'll love it!" My mother cuts me off, the two of them quickly exiting the room before coming back.

"This was your mother's idea..." My father trails off.

"Yes but your father is the one who put it together!" My mom quickly says and they both grin at each other.

They count to three before each of them hold out two rectangle shaped papers.

My head tilts and a frown comes over my face as I lean in to look at the wording.

xxx High School Prom!

Theme: A Royal Night Out

"Your father got in contact with his high school and they agreed to allow you to go to their prom since that's not a thing here in Japan..." My mother trails off and my eyes widen.

"It's in two weeks." My father notes and I look up at them in shock. "But their senior night at Disneyland is before the prom and you're going to that too."

I spring out of my seat, attacking them in a hug once again.

"Oh my gosh. Thank you so much!" I squeal, jumping up and down.

Not being able to participate in those types of senior activities was making me kind of sad. But for them to do this for me...

Ah, I'm so excited!

"There's two tickets though. Am I taking one of you guys?" I ask as I pull away and they share a look before pursing their lips.

"It's for your date." My mom playfully slaps my shoulder.

"Duh." My father grins. "And you'll be getting your other present out there since it's not in the country but...here's a picture."

He takes out his phone, scrolling for a bit before he turns it to me.

"A CAR?! YOU GUYS GOT ME A CAR?!" I gasp loudly, almost about to die.

"Yes! It's a brand new one, made this year." My mother puts a hand on my shoulder, looking at me with pride. "You've been working so hard and I'm very blessed to call you my daughter. We'll have it shipped over here when you come back after prom, okay? We're so proud of you sweetie." She kisses my cheeks and I start bawling.
