'Well, this was unexpected.' Mikaela thought with his eyes wide and mouth agape in utter shock and disbelief.

To think that only a few moments ago, the whole family was eating dinner together on a Saturday evening in August. Realizing everyone was staring at him, he quickly composed myself and straightened his expression to one of cool indifference, trying to be nonchalant, all the while trying to wrap his head around the new predicament.

''Come again?'' Mikaela asked, a bit skeptically and hoping he misheard their foster mom.

''We're moving to America!'' Krul replied, her demeanor just as ecstatic as the first time she announced the news.

Mikaela turned to look at the faces of his siblings: Taichi, Fumie, and Ako were practically jumping in their chairs in excitement with wolfish grins on their faces

Mikaela turned to look at the faces of his siblings: Taichi, Fumie, and Ako were practically jumping in their chairs in excitement with wolfish grins on their faces. Kouta and Chihiro were less hyperactive, but they were the ones cheering at the top of their lungs at the thought of new places to see. Even Akane was practically squealing with excitement. Mikaela pondered the idea for a moment. None of them really had anything to hold onto in Japan, they all lost their birth parents in someway, although they all agreed to never go into detail about the events, and school wasn't that big of a deal and while his siblings had a few friends and might keep in touch if they moved to America, they could always make new friends.

''Alright, when do we start packing?'' Mikaela questioned. His younger siblings cheered after he agreed, 'The little mischievous devils that I love to pieces.' He thought unconsciously.

Mikaela held Taichi, while Chihiro, Taichi, Ako, and Fumie ran up the stairs following Akane. He walked upstairs, making sure to keep from jarring Taichi around in his arms into their bedroom. Living in a small apartment for the orphanage with only them as the remaining members, all seven of them lived in one spacious room, and Krul in another room downstairs. Akane and Mikaela had been trying for the past couple of minutes to put their younger siblings to sleep but they're too restless.

"Brother Mika, will you sing a song for us?" Ako pleaded.

"Please Brother Mika, Please!" the rest chorused, including Akane.

"Alright, but just one song." he whispered to them.
