"You two be careful, okay? And let us know if you need anything," Mama said to both Chloe and me as she hugged us for the umpteenth time that morning. "And you keep those boys in line, girls! No one is good enough for you unless they can bake!" Papa said, smiling at us with tearful eyes.

"We're going to miss you guys so much!" I said as I hugged my parents for what felt like the last time. Our apartment was already leased in Gotham, which meant that as soon as the trip was over, Chloe and I could start our new lives there. "Don't worry, Mr. and Mrs. Dupain-Cheng. I'll keep her safe," Chloe said with confidence as she hugged my parents goodbye. I knew she meant every word about keeping me safe, but sometimes she forgets that I'm also going to keep her safe.

My parents smiled at us before pulling us in for another hug. Chloe's limo driver opened the limo door in a silent message for us to get in. As we did, we waved at my parents before getting settled for the drive to the airport.

"You okay, Bug?" Chloe asked, wiping a tear away.
"We'll see them again, Queenie. Once we're settled, they'll visit us nonstop, okay?" I said, wrapping my arm around my best friend in comfort. She truly loved my parents like her own. It was rare to see Chloe this vulnerable, so I knew she needed this comfort more than I did right now. I tried reminding her about all the new and fun things we'd do in Gotham and how exciting it would be to live in our own flat. Before I knew it, we were at the airport. I thanked the driver as we got out of the limo while Chloe got our luggage.

As we neared the doors, we could already hear a commotion inside. 'Great. Just bloody great,' I thought to myself before turning to Chloe, who had already schooled herself into her 'bitch-persona,' as I liked to call it.

"Come on, Mari. Let's go see what we're being blamed for now," Chloe said, sounding bored and ready to be over with whatever was happening inside. To be fair, we have had almost two years' worth of experience in this field. I was about to walk through the doors when my phone suddenly vibrated in my purse. I pulled it out while motioning for Chloe to go ahead. She just gave me a look before walking through the door as I answered my phone.

"You didn't think we wouldn't say goodbye, did you, Melody?"

"Luka!" I smiled into my phone, hearing my self-proclaimed brother's voice. "Mari-hime, I truly wish I could come with you, but Mother has other plans for me," Kagami sighed into the phone. "Hey! Give me back my phone, Gami. You're hoarding Melody!" 

I giggled, hearing the couple bicker. Luka and Kagami got together about 10 months ago. No one saw it coming, but honestly, I've never seen them so happy. They complete each other. Before they got together, they became my self-proclaimed older brother and sister and took it upon themselves to protect both me and Chloe with their 'kill all inferior lovers' rule. (Gami made it up since she has a katana and no one was brave enough to try and change the rule. Again, she has a katana!)
