As much as she liked to learn about the world around her, taking an actual trip to Japan on a family vacation was not exactly her idea of fun. Well she supposed that it could be fun. Going to museums, getting a first hand look at the history of the region and taking in the sights and sounds. But there were just some days where she would rather stay at home and curl up with a nice book... or work on her masterpiece! Or so maybe 'masterpiece' was a bit of a stretch. But it was her story that she had been working on for the past two years of her life. All this effort into her creation surely made it a masterpiece!
Her father and eldest sister were off kayaking, her other sister and her mother were shopping, and so Khloé had asked if she could go take a tour of some of the gardens. While hesitant to allows their youngest daughter to explore on her own, Khloé insisted that she would be able to take care of herself. She was almost fifteen which meant she was almost old enough to drive a car. Ok so that argument didn't sound good in her head and hadn't won her parents over. But she had travelled alone on her own, she had her cellphone, a map and a guide book. While she couldn't speak the language perfectly, she did know enough to ask for directions and understand them thanks to a great first year of intro to Japanese. Overall she felt confident in her abilities.
And so she had spent most of the morning exploring the beautiful gardens and temples in the area. Though around noon she'd decided to go to one of the coffee shops. This one, according to her guide book, doubled as an Internet café and so she would be able to get a quick bite and work on her story while resting her legs. Not to mention upload some pictures and rechange her phone. Little fact that she forgot to mention to her parents? The phone was dead. She was not looking forward to charging it and seeing all the messages and missed calls. Oops. Khloé hoped they weren't worried and just thought she had turned it off while in the temple or hadn't it felt it vibrating in her pocket. One could dream couldn't they?
Beside her was a delicious medium sized café mocha and a salad, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she read through the comments she had received on her latest chapter. Okay, so that was good. So far people were enjoying it and her favourite critique had responded again with a comment that she was looking forward to reading. Honestly, if she owed anyone for all their help it was Beta123. Whoever that person was, they were awesome. Getting to Beta's comment, Khloé eagerly began to read through it, sliding her glasses up just a bit and smiling as she eagerly responded. The purple haired girl knew she may look just a bit silly to the others as she typed away at a computer with a big smile on her face, but right now, the only thing that mattered to her was responding to her online friends.
