Unexpected Changes (Inside Out/Home/Rise of the Guardians)

Prologue

"SPRING BREAK!" Kids yelled as they ran out of class.

Despite almost being high schoolers, many of the kids acted like they hadn't had school breaks before. They ran through the gates, to their cars, or to the buses depending on where they lived, all the while cheering for the time away from school.

"Do you guys have any plans for the break?" Jordan asked his group of friends.

"Hmm, not really. I'm just going to skate all day and play hockey," a now 14-year-old Riley replied. "You guys want to join me?"

"I would but I'm traveling to Japan to visit my grandparents," Riley's friend, Faye, answered.

"Japan?!" Riley and Jordan exclaimed.

"Yeah, I haven't been there since we moved here," Faye replied sheepishly.

"Cool! What about you Jordan?" Riley asked.

"My dad signed the band up for a few gigs so I'll mainly be practicing," the curly-haired boy replied absentmindedly.

Riley looked at both her friends, remembering the first time they had met. Coincidentally, both of those friendships were made on the ice rink. She met Jordan when she bumped into him and made him drop his water bottle. She tried to help him but he didn't seem to be focused so she left him to go play. They started to talk a bit after that, but it wasn't until he got rid of his shyness and became more chill that they actually became friends.

Faye on the other hand was also a hockey player. She had moved to San Francisco around the same time as Riley, but they didn't talk until the day before halloween. Faye asked if Riley wanted to go trick-or-treating with her which was something Riley had actually planned to ask her.

After having fun hanging out they found that both of their parents were the ones who pushed the idea for them to hang out- which they were glad for.

"When are you leaving, Faye?" Riley asked.

"Today, my parents are actually waiting for me right now. I'm all packed, I just came to school to see you guys," Faye replied.

She turned to her car where her mom had stepped out to make sure Faye could see her. Faye's mom waved at the kids before going back in the car. Riley waved back but Jordan was in his own world and seemed not to notice.

"I hear they have some rocking bands in Japan, bring back a souvenir," Jordan told her.

Of course, he was too busy thinking about the bands to notice Faye's mom. Riley chuckled in disbelief.

"Yeah! I've always wanted to try that Japanese soda with the marble inside," Riley added.

Faye laughed and nodded.

"Okay, I will see what I can bring. Well, I'll see you guys when we come back to school. Bye, I'll text you both," Faye replied and gave them a quick hug before running to her car.

"Guess it's just you and me, huh?" Riley asked Jordan.

Jordan's eyes widened and he froze.

~In Jordan's mind~

"Wait, just the two of us?! No, we need more people! Maybe we can call the band!" Jordan's Fear exclaimed while running around.

The "Girl" alarm blared at Headquarters for the first time in a while.

"Calm down! Remember our strategy?" Jordan's Anger asked.

"You better hurry too or else Riley will never talk to us," Jordan's sadness added.
