"So what you are saying is that there will be other children as well?" Himari asks after she and (Y/N) had drop her father at a train station. It was tough but they managed to do it.

"You've met them already. Remember when you were ten, at a party?"

"Yeah, we travelled all around Europe. How can I remember some random party when we've been going through many European cities and sights?"

"But you spent the whole time with the other kids and when we tried to take you home earlier you refused because everything was getting so much fun and your party was so lit or something."

"But that was five years ago mom. It was 2030." Himari sighs knowing her mother was buying her little lies.

'She actually believes I don't remember that party. It got wild so of course I remember it.'

Yes well, invite a whole bunch of volleyball dorks into one place and see what'll happen. FYI it can get out of hands.

"Anyways, is there an actual reason for this camp?"

"Well for you to make actual friends-"

"Mom."

"Just kidding. Apparently the men's professional teams are having some kind of huge training camp in Tokyo and other's husbands are nearly drowning in work so the Sugawaras got an idea to held a little camp for our team. It's also a change for our kids to bond with each other, again. And to give peace for work at house when the teenage kids like you aren't running around the house."

"So this was just an idea to throw family out of the door for the weekend?"

"No that's not what it meant and stop making that smug face to me!" (Y/N) sighs with a small laugh. "Have you already chosen what club to join?"

"I'm still choosing between art club and the track team."

"Hmm... well you are a fast runner. Also learning art in different countries has given you a great gift with that."

"Yeah. But shouldn't I choose a club depending on what I want to do in the future?"

"Of course not. I was our volleyball club's manager but I'm not working with volleyball."

"Mom, you are a professional volleyball player. Already forgot?"

"No! But, I mainly work with food."

"But you still work with volleyball."

"Well it's not like I can escape it when half of my friends are volleyball players." The drive to Sugawara's residence is not long. There are already couple of cars outside when they arrive.

"Seems like most of them came by uber or will leave with one." (Y/N) says when they get out the car.

"Jealous?"

"Why would I be? Just because I have to drive around when I could just sit on the back seat or passenger seat relaxing doesn't make me jealous over those who come by uber or gets ride." (Y/N) rants when they walk towards gym behind the main building.

"Sure."

"Himari, just because some people have more money than we doesn't make me jealous. Rich people can shove the money up in their-"

"You know, having a lot of money is not a dream come true. At least not always." (Y/N) turns her eyes away from her daughter to look at the gym doors.

"Fumiko!" (Y/N) drops her bags for Himari to carry and runs to hug her friend.

"Hi. So, how was Europe?"

"Great, though it not like I haven't been there before but this time we got to explore more."

"Mom, I'm not your slave. Your bags are heavier that mine."

"Oh shoot." (Y/N) goes to get her bags while Fumiko laughs at her.

"Seems like you've got comfortable on being a mother."

"Yeah, to a teenager."

"You're Himari right?" Fumiko asks.

"Yeah."

"Come inside so you can meet the rest of the kids." Fumiko motions Himari follow her and (Y/N) basically pushes her into the building. "We have two sets of twins, three if we count our tangerine twins in. Couple siblings and the rest."

"I love the way you introduce them." (Y/N) says.

"Well, Himari probably already knows them so it's not like I have to introduce them personally. Except that one on the corner." Himari turns to look at the way Fumiko is pointing. Boy with black curls is leaning against the corner. "He's not very fond of people approaching him. I advice you to not approach him too excitedly."

"Got it. Any other warnings about other kids?" Himari asks. She does remember the names but all of them had grown in the past six years.

"Not really. You can ask other parents if they have something to add about their own children."

"Wait, he's yours?" (Y/N) asks and Fumiko sighs.

"Yeah. I had a real trouble getting him here. It took me nearly an hour to get both of the boys is our family to get out of the house. At some point Kiyoomi's coach called and told him to get his ass to the camp, so we both carried him to car." Fumiko tells.

"(Y/N)! Get changed! We'll start in five!" Chiyoko yells from the other side of the court.

"Got it! Himari go and chat with others while I go and change."

"Mom I'm sixteen. I can just stand here and wait."

"No way. Go make friends now that you have a change." (Y/N) says, leaves and Himari throws her hands up in the air.

"Really?!" She turns around once she feels someone poke her shoulder.

"Hi! Haven't seen you in a while. How has it been going?" Himari stares at the girl facing her taking a while to think who she was.

"Sugawara... Chieko?"

"That's me."

"Wow.. Did everyone grew up to be good looking or is it just me?"

"Hopefully just you. Although, many students in my school are giving me gifts every day. I've rejected ten people this week."

"Hold up. People and students?"

"Yeah, I get confessions from boys and girls. You?"

"None. Students in my grade just wants to be friends." Chieko gives Himari a reassuring smile and then takes a hold of her hand.

"Let me introduce you to everyone once again." She leads Himari towards a group of kids. ("kids") "Guys, remember Nishinoya-san?"

"Eh?"

"Wait she's still alive?" Ash blonde -haired boy asks.

"Emiko, could you please hit your brother on head?" Chieko asks.

"With pleasure." Emiko named girl says and stands up. "Come here you little-" The boy lets out a shriek and runs away.

"Twins." The rest of the gang says.

"Good to see you again. How was Europe?" Another black haired boy asks.

'Definitely Chieko's brother. This one has manners.'

"It was surprisingly interesting." Himari answers with a small nod.

"You haven't grown taller at all." Third boy says.

"Ren, comparing our and Himari's parents, ours are taller. Mom is twenty centimeters taller than Himari's and our dad is thirty centimeters taller than hers". Ren's sister says.

"And just because I'm short doesn't mean I can't kick your butt."

"I like this girl." Shorter girl says.
