Time As Always Times Chapter 20       Takeru was watching the barbeque, flipping the hamburgers over as it reached the time to do so. Taichi and Yamato stood close by talking with Takeru as he cooked.   The girls were setting up the picnic table outside, since today was a beautiful day to enjoy the fresh new spring air.   “So your all packed Saria?” Mimi said, as she turned the glasses upside down on the already table clothed picnic table.   Saria grinned as she looked at her aunt, “Yup! I got everything ready to go. I can’t wait when Davis comes back from Tokyo.”   “Oh, that’s right what’s that all about?” Hikari questioned with curiosity as she handed plates to Sora who then placed them in appropriate setting on the table.   “Family, togetherness.” Saria said sounding miserable, “They are trying to put something that happened long a go behind them. But every time they do get together it doesn’t work out. Either someone is wrong or someone is right, and then they don’t even make up in the end. They just leave.”  She explained, then gave a sigh and placed the tray of condiments on the table.   “All families have issues sweetie, and some are hard to get over then others-“   “Mom, don’t start about grandpa,” she said, interrupting her mother’s speech. She didn’t want to hear about the fight she had with him.   “I’m not I was just saying, that Davis’s family have hard times for the passed couple of years since he found out that Ken wasn’t his real father,” Sora explained.   “Okay girls! Takeru the master barbeque chief is finished!” he said, carrying a tray of sausages, hamburgers and hot dogs.     Saria laughed at his antics, “ Your silly uncle Takeru.”  She said, then grabbed a hamburger off the tray he was carrying.   “Hey, hey! No cheating!” he cried out loud, then set the tray on the table, “Now you may dig in.”   “Takeru, stop acting like a goof,” Yamato said as he helped himself to the ketchup and put it on a hotdog.   The whole family ate and talked truing the lunch; the kids after a while got tired and start to play soccer in the back yard, Li and Michael versus Lillie, Reena and Maiko. With Mimi shouting at Michael every few minutes telling him to play fair, the girls were a lot younger then the two boys.   “And that is the whole story, I don’t want to repeat it,” Taichi said. He had explained about his ordeal in the past 24 hours.   “That’s insane,” Takeru said, “how can people like that be out and about allowed to do anything they like?”   “You would think a friend would let the authorities knew that she was nuts,” Hikari said, frowning during the entire time, her brother told the story, “And I can’t believe that you would go by yourself to the house with out calling the police,” she replied to her niece.   “I’m sorry, I know I worried everyone. But I just thought that I didn’t have the time that if I didn’t hurry something would happen,” Saria said, bowing her head down.   “Let’s not start into it, I think it’s best we left that in the past,” Yamato said , he got up “Come on Taichi let’s show those kids how to really play the game.”   Taichi grinned “Your on.”   “Hey!! Dad!” Michael cried, Yamato stole the ball from him and stopped the game in progress.   “Okay how about we have a game two on two, sorry girls, me and your uncle against you two,” he suggested, holding the ball.   “Okay we’ll kick your old butts!” Michael said, in a challenging voice.   “Old? More like experienced,” Taichi said laughing.   “Haha, what ever dad,” Li said rolling his eyes.   The three girls went over to house again and played hopscotch instead, they thought the two boys were unreasonable.   “Yagami senior coming in he shots and scores on what looks like to be some shoty defense work by the kids!” Taichi said, in a announcer’s voice. His arms rise in the air and slapped palms with Yamato.     “I’m glad that we worked things out finally,” Davis said as he packed the last of his belongs into his duffle bag.   “Yes, your father finally forgave us for lying. Which now that I think about it, was the wrong thing to do,” Ken said dragging a huge piece of luggage out of the bedroom.   ‘I wouldn’t say forgive, more like accepted that we lied to him,” Miyako said, stating matter of fact.   “Well, if I were dad then I would be furious with you both too,” Davis explained. He pulled his backpack over his shoulder. “Now can we go home? I got a tropical trip to go on.”   “Right, let’s get a move on the taxi is waiting for us down stairs,” his stepfather said, while he opened the door to the hotel room.     Daisuke pulled into the driveway of their home in Tokyo; he turned the ignition off and got out of the vehicle.   “I’m very happy with what you did Daisuke,” Kara said to him.   Daisuke sighed, he threw himself on the couch as his daughter walked up the stairs to get ready for bed. “Happy that I didn’t bring it up? Or happy that I hide my true feelings.”   “Honey, of course you have the right to be angry forever. But to not fight for Davis sake is good. He has had a rough time with all this,” Kara explained.   “With a good damn reason too. Kara I love you and everything, but I still see what they did, about hiding him from me for ten years, as wrong,” Daisuke said a little loudly. He grabbed the stress ball off the table that was the shape of a happy face and squashed in his hand then watched it reform again.   “I’ll be fine, come on and let’s go to sleep,” Daisuke suggested to his wife.   “You’ll feel better in the morning hon,” Kara lead the way up the stairs, with her husband following a few steps behind her.     Next Morning… Monday March 17, 2024.

Airport, 9:30am…

    Miyako waved at her boy, he was leaving to a tropical island further south for a field trip. He loaded his luggage on the luggage ramp. Saria was next to him doing the same thing loading her own luggage on the ramp.   Meanwhile, Sora was crying a storm watching her leaving as Taichi held her close to him.   “Honey, come on she’s not going away for ever,” he said in a soft voice.    Sora wiped her tears on Taichi brand new shirt, “I know, but still she’s going away for a long week.”   “Bye mom! Dad, everyone!” Saria hollered.   “Saria be careful! Don’t trust anyone you don’t know don’t go off on your own and don’t go on a adventure! Got that! I know you have some of your father’s curiosity but don’t do anything stupid.”  Sora said, breaking free of Taichi then running right up to the separator. “And be careful honey!” she shouted.   They watched as the class disappeared down the hall toward the waiting plane on the runway. Sora wiped her eyes and looked on worried, “I miss her already.”     On the plane everyone had found their seats Davis and Saria took a window seat, Mina sat next to Davis since there were three seats there instead of the two.  “Here we go to have some fun!” Mina shouted and the rest of the children cheered.     To Be Continued...     I must apologize for the shortness of the chapter.
