"Papa, where are we going?" "America, I have some works there and you'll meet your cousins" He smiled as he hugged me, "Now, poppet. Be a good girl and help Marionette to prepare your suitcases as I take care of your school" He said as I nodded and went inside my room.

   "Mari, will I meet you again?" "You will, miss" She smiled and locked down my last suitcases as Bernard took it to be placed in our private jet. "Miss, it's time to go now" Berwarld said as I followed him inside the plane and waved at our servants for the last time.

   "Where's Papa?" "He's working" Bernard said as he placed silver tray in front of me, "Today's lunch is wagyu steak and pomegranate juice with kuih cincin as the dessert. Enjoy" He smiled as I ate it while in a flight for 5 hours.

   "Thank you for the food" I muttered as Bernard took the food and he left me alone in here, "Well, listening to music is pretty good, though" I thought as I put on the headphone and sleeping while listening to the music.

   "We're arrived now" I heard Papa said as we got down from the jet and we were arrived in America. "After these, we'll drive around 2 hours to Kansas and we could meet your cousins while the others tidy up the house, alright?" Papa said as he rubbed my head softly.

   Just like usual, I travelled almost 2/3 of the world. I was born in LA, America but moved to Noirose, Aldeilenne until I was 2. For 15 months, I lived in Paris before moved to Russia. Unfortunately, I lived there only for 2 months before moved to Mongolia, China, Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong for 30 months.

   Indonesia, precisely Malang, was the longest place that I lived. I lived in there for 5 years before move to Borneo and then to Papua New Guinea and then New Zealand as I met some of my friends.

   But, not long after that I moved to Thailand and enrolled in Mater Dei before went to Vietnam, Laos and finally whole Southeast Asia.

"Papa, what's my cousins' names?" "Allison, Sam and Ben" He replied short and read his documents as I looked outside quietly.

   "Y/N" "Yeah?" "You're going to be enrolled in Kansas City Christian School after that you'll go to Blue Valley High School" He said as I nodded because I knew I was going to live in Kansas and he would be in LA, NYC or Florida.

   "Hello, Cindy, Kirk" I said as they hugged both of us and they looked at Y/N with a smile, "I hope while I'm not here, you could take care of her for me" "We will, Marcus" Cindy replied as Bernard placed her suitcases inside.

   "See you soon, girl" He said as he kisses my forehead and left me with my uncle, aunt and cousins. "So, you know where you're going to be enrolled?" "Yeah, you don't need to drive and pick me up there, I could do it by myself" I replied quietly and got inside my room.

   "Hey" I heard someone greeted and saw Sam, "Dad said we're going to be enrolled in the same high school. How did you skip class 5 times?" He asked as I told him that in my last place, we would be tested before we enroll there and because I was taught by my father, I skipped so much that I only need to say yes if I want to.

   "Sam! Colby's here!" I heard mom yelled as I looked at Y/N, "You should meet Colby! He's cool" I said with a smile and pulled her to the living room. "Hey, Sam!" He smiled as he noticed Y/N behind me. "Is that your genius cousin?" "Yeah, Y/N, this is Colby. Colby, Y/N" I said as Y/N shook her hand with him and then his behind me.

   "Sam, why don't you show Kansas with Colby to her?" "Sure! Bye, mom" I said as we left my house and went to some food stands with them. "So, we usually go here to buy churros. It's cheap but tasty" I said as I bought for three of us and Y/N tried it.

   "It's nice, almost as tasty when I was in Spain" I said as both them snickered, "You're a messy eater, here" Colby smiled as he gave me napkin. "So, you had visited most of countries in the world? That's cool! What's your favourite?" "I guess Japan, I love their technology" I replied as they began to hear my stories.

   "Bye, Colby! See you again" She said as I waved at them and went to my house as soon as possible. "I'm home!" I yelled as my parents and Gage, my brother, we're waiting for me to eat dinner.

   "So, you met Sam's foreigner cousin? How's he?" "She's so you and has skipped class 5 times because she's just overall genius" I replied as I began to tell them about her. "She had visited 2/3 of the world? Wow" Mom awed, "I know? And she'll be enrolled with Sam and me" I added as we began to chat about her.

   "What's this?" "Mac n' Cheese, an American dish" Dad said as Allison put some on her plate, "You'll love it, trust me! But blow it first, it's still hot" Ben said as she blew it lightly and began to eat.

   "Tomorrow, you'll begin to go to school" I nodded and told them I could go by myself but for safety they would drive and pick me up for the first day and afterward I could go by myself. "Hey, good night" Sam said followed by the others as we went to our rooms and slept.

   "Y/N" I heard Mom, as she wanted me to cal her that, said as I turned to her, "Yes?" I asked back as she looked at me softly, "Sleep well and don't open your eyes". Since that, I knew she knew about me being scared.
