"Sit, drink, we have business to discuss." Rowan said and took a sip of his drink, not waiting for the other person to sit and drink. @rededgerpstarterblog

"Anything and everything." Elena said with a laugh. "Seriously, I need to have fun."

"No you cannot. Do you want to hang out since we're in Japan?" She asks, a bright smile on her lips.

"Japan for a whole month is what I needed. I cannot wait to get out of town for a while, and before you ask, no, I don't care that I got blasted, it was going to happen eventually and what's done is done." @rededgerpstarterblog

"I know, I'm excited." Damon smiled and looked at Elena. "Is there anything you really want to do while we're here?"

"I cannot thank you enough for coming out to meet me. Work has been kicking my ass lately, and I needed this." @rededgerpstarterblog

"Hey man, I get it. Work has been kicking everyone's ass lately, but thankfully, we're in Japan for the month."

Axel was standing outback of the gallery he owned and was smoking a cigarette. He had just gotten it lit and taken a puff when someone approached him and he raised a brow. "What's up? I promise I will help with whatever you need as soon as I'm done." @rededgerpstarterblog

"I just came out to see you, really." He said to Axel with a smile. "You doing good man?"

"I feel like this year is just a little bit surreal for me, and I can't explain it at all." She looked at the person she was out with. "Do you feel that way too?" @rededgerpstarterblog

"You aren't alone in feeling that way, I feel that way too." He promised her with a smile. "Are you at least enjoying Japan so far?"

"Yes, but they do not give a fuck." Emmett said with a laugh. "Especially now with how popular hockey is becomming with all the hockey romance books." He shook his head. "Some parents are just way too delusional for their children's own good."

Damon shook his head. "That's extremely pathetic on the parent's end and I always feel bad for the children that are put in those situations because it's never fair to them."

Dain chuckled. "I guess that's fair." He said with a nod. "Besides you waiting for summer to be here, how are you doing?"

"I'm doing pretty good man, how about you? Are you happy we're in Japan for a month?"

"Dude, fuck the iPad kids, they are the absolute worse, even as they become teenagers. I have had several of them try to sneak into Velure and get mad because they didn't get in. Someone needs to knock some sense into them."

"Are you serious?" He raised a brow and then shook his head. "They really do need sense knocked into them, and sadly, a lot of them get that when they start college and they get a reality check. A lot of them are not happy about it."

"I was planning on doing a small get together, but after I asked her if she wanted to, all she said she wanted to do was go out and eat breakfast." She said with a laugh.

"Hey, breakfast is the best, there is nothing wrong with that at all." He chuckled.

"Yeah, that's true. I wasn't looking at it that way." He chuckled softly. "You are able to expand everything a little bit more and I feel as if students are able to relate to the deeper topics discussed."

"Which is always a plus, I don't have to sensor myself like I would if I was teaching in K-12."

"It's such a huge deal." She said. "I feel good about it. She seems really excited and she is very outgoing, so she'll fit in just fine."

"Are you doing anything to celebrate her going into the first grade or no?" He raised a brow. "I don't have kids so I don't know."

"I could not be a teacher or professor." Nash said with a small laugh. "Kudos to you because teaching is such a hard profession."

"Yes it is." He said with a laugh. "Though at the end of the day, I get to teach college students, which is always a nice change, because I can go into deeper topics with them than what they would learn in regular K-12, you know?"

"Oh, they must be stoked to have their summer vacation soon." Juliette says with a chuckle. "I'm doing really good, yeah. No complaints. Work has been good on my end." She nodded. "Layla is doing good, too. She's ready for summer and is starting first grade in the fall."

"They are very excited to be on summer vacation." He said with a chuckle. "Oh first grade is a huge deal, how are you feeling?"

"That is very true, I went to college, to teach at a college level, not at a high school or middle school level. I did think about maybe elementary school, but decided against it when all the iPad kids started to be a thing."
