After so long of the two of you saving, you and Akito were finally getting to go to America! You'd been planning this for ages and after so much of you two convincing your parents they gave you both permission to go, as long as you 100% payed by yourselves.
This was Akito's chance to help VBS become more well known and popular, and for you. A chance to go to California's beaches and go shopping. After all, even if they weren't giving you money to go, both of your parents gave you money to spend on food and for general shopping, and they gave you plenty.
Currently you'd both just arrived at the airport, you had your suitcases and your tickets, now you just had to get through security and then you could go and grab some food before the long, 12 hour flight.
"Come on, let's figure this out." Akito said, looking over at you since this was both your first time going away without an adult to help you.
