(Noelle's Point Of View)
Inside of the envelope was an invitation for "The Death Bagels Baseball Club Reunion".
Akarsha and Noelle were very happy since they hadn't seen the other 5 club members in a long time.
"Akarsha this is amazing!"
"Well almost amazing because Esther, Sakura and Yuri moved to Japan, but at least we saw them at our honeymoon!"
"Yeah... Japan was great but at least we get to see Chryssa and Liz tomorrow! It's been a long time since we saw them."
"You're right! It's getting late though and we're still on Japan time, we should sleep and hope that we start running on US time."
Noelle was having some deep thoughts that night after they came back from their honeymoon.
"I feel so old now that I'm married... How come I'm 25 but people still put so much pressure on me. It was hard enough in high school. I was stressed because if I got anything lower than 100% my parents would scold me and ground me. The girls -especially Akarsha- made me feel better. When I was around them I felt free and happy. My parents didn't want me to have any friends because all I could do besides studying and going to school was going out for tutoring lessons. I had to lie to my mom everytime I hung out with the girls. Now that I moved into an apartment with Akarsha Im always with her, well almost always. The problem is that even though I live with Akarsha, and Min and Diya live in the same floor of the apartment, we all have to work. Min and Diya became baseball coaches alongside Akarsha. They're out almost everyday but I can't complain since Im a doctor. I failed my parents by marrying a woman at 25 years old. I can't disappoint them anymore but nonetheless I still love my job of helping people and my parents are happy for me too!"
"GOOD MORNING!!"
Noelle woke up looking really tired and started taking in a zombie-like voice tone.
"Akarsha... Im tired..."
"Ok Noelle. I bet you were thinking too much last night, like you always do. Come on you know the drill."
"Fine... I'll tell you like always."
Noelle told Akarsha what she thought about and Akarsha smiled.
"Babe you know that I love you, Min, Diya and all of your family, including your parents all love you so much. They love you even though they might not really show it. You are not failing your parents either. Mine understood that I was bi and accepted it, yours will too! Don't worry I'm here for you."
Noelle got emotional and started to cry.
"I- thanks, I feel much better now. I can finally live freely knowing this and remembering what you said."
"Come on the reunion is today we have to be there in an hour!"
