Caroline looked at her computer monitor.  So far, the stock market was 
good.  It hadn't decrease for the last three months and that was making 
her boss happy.  She sat back and gave a long sigh.  She was tired.

  "Ms. Tendo, Mr. Gloss wish to see you now at his office."  Caroline's 
receptionist said through the speaker.

   Fine, this is all I needed, Caroline thought.  She was already 
exhausted and her boss wished to see her.  She lazily got up and went to 
her boss office.
   
   When she got to his office, she checked her clothes and accommodate 
her hair.  Mr.  Gloss was a very picky man.  He liked every thing nice 
and clean.  She checked herself for the second time and knocked on the 
door.

   "Come in,"  came voice of Mr.  Gloss.

   "Miranda said you wanted to see me.  Is anything wrong?"

   "Absolutely not Caroline.  Everything is nice and smooth.  I wanted 
to see you because I want to talk to you about our new company at 
Japan."

   Caroline was surprised.  She had heard about this project of opening 
a company at Japan, but she was never in charge of these kind of 
projects.

   "The new company?"  Caroline asked surprised.

   "Yes.  We just receive an E-Mail from Mr.  Tayajasee that he is 
willing to invest in our project."

   "But what does it had to do with me?  I'm not in charge of this 
project.  This is from Carina's department."

   "I know.  Listen.  You are the only one in the company who speaks 
fluent Japanese and you know how to read and write it.  We need you to 
be in this project.  Actually, this project will be yours.  Carina will 
take over yours."

   This shocked Caroline the most.  After all these years, she didn't 
want to go back to Japan anymore.  She had made America her home, 
besides Japan had something that she tried to forget all these years... 
Ranma Saotome.

   "But I can't leave my children!"  Caroline said as a excuse.

   "I took care of that, already.  Your children will go with you to 
Japan.  I know they are fluent in Japanese, just like you.  They will 
get used to it.  Besides, I already found a school for them, Furinkan 
High."

   Caroline swallowed hard.  "FURINKAN HIGH!!?"  she yelled.

   "Calm down Caro.  Is not that bad, really.  I heard it is a very good 
school, and it will be very convenient to Ranma and Akane."

   "Convenient?"

   "Yes.  The company just bought a house in the Nerima district.  I 
heard it is a nice neighboorhood, kinda weird, though.  Besides, it is 
not very far from where you will be working."

   "But-"

   "No buts, Caroline.  Here.  These are three one-way ticket.  You are 
dismissed."  with that, Mr.  Gloss handed her an envelop with three 
first-class tickets.

***Some hours later***

   "Ranmaaaaaaa!!!  Give it back!"  Akane yelled angrily.

   "What Akane?  Afraid of admiting that you like Chris??"

   Akane got so mad, that she flung herself at her twin brother.  This 
was not unusual.  Akane and Ranma were always fighting, but when it 
comes to trust and friendship, that's another story.

   "I'm gonna tell mommy!"  Akane whined.

   "What Akane honey?"  Caroline said as she came in the living room.  
Instantly, the twins knew she had a bad day.

   "What's wrong mommy?"  Ranma asked.

   "We are going to Japan in two days."  Caroline said sadly.

   "Cool!"  Ranma and Akane exclaimed together, but stopped when they 
saw their mom's expression.

   "What's wrong, ma?"  Ranma asked concerned.

   "Nothing, sweety."

   "Mom, don't lie to us.  What is bothering you?"  Akane asked.

   "Is....is...."  Caroline couldn't hold it anymore and she let her 
tears flow out of her eyes.  She told her children her sad story.  The 
story of her and Ranma.  A story unknown to the children.  She told it 
all.

   "Then we won't go!"  Akane said after she heard her mom's story.

   "No.  We have to go.  Destiny wants me to go back after all these 
years, and we are going.  Perhaps destiny wants you to meet you dad."
Caroline said.

   The children looked at each other and then at her.  They nodded in 
agreement.  After a moment, they kissed their mom and went to pack up.

   Oh, God.  After all these years I've been away, and now I have to go 
back.... Caroline thought as tears rolled down her cheek.

   Back in their rooms, the children had their own thoughts.
