Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
While Ayia, Shizuka, Arthur, and the rest of the crew started the Sunday with the initial preparations of music video production, Theo woke up early as usual to do his morning workout.
Although it was Sunday and consequently Aurora could sleep more because of the absence of classes on this day, she still woke up before the sun rose through the skies.
She was determined to work out with her brother every day to compensate for the lack of the time that the two of them would spend together this month because the two of them were too busy.
Aurora had her first year's final exams to study, which were particularly difficult because Yukihime High School was too exigent.
And Theo had a music album to launch and an animation studio to guide.
Theo woke up feeling refreshed, after the call he had with Ayia last night a lot of the things were made clear to him.
Even though he was not 100% sure of his feelings, he was sure that Ayia had become someone important to him.
He didn't know what he would do if someday she decided to leave him.
But these thoughts did not disturb him.
Theo was a practical person, so he focused on what he had at the moment and not on potential problems that may arise.
After the siblings had their morning workout, they took a shower and proceeded to cook their breakfast.
This meal had become the most important for their family of two.
At lunch during the weekdays, Aurora was at her school and Theo was usually working.
And at dinner, Theo was usually in the restaurant cooking.
Even these last months when Aurora was helping at the restaurant, the two of them only had fast dinner together before they went back to work.
Therefore, breakfast was the only meal where the two siblings could talk calmly and enjoy each other's company.
"How are the preparations for your exams?" Theo asked curiously as he sipped his coffee.
Even though he did not what position in the rankings she would get, he had to admit that he would be proud if she get a high ranking.
And seeing the effort she was doing over the last week, he was a proud brother knowing the determination that his sister had.
"Everything's doing well." Aurora replied with a mysterious smile.
She did not tell him that she wanted first place in the rankings.
After all, she knew that it would be a difficult task to accomplish with all the intelligent people in her school.
And worse of all, she did not want to disappoint her brother if she did not manage to get first place.
Although the first place was not guaranteed, Aurora was sure that she would get in the top 10.
She was sure that he would be surprised when he saw her position in the top 10.
So, she did not dwell on details about her expectations about the exam.
"And you? How are the drawings for the anime?" Aurora asked when she remembered that her brother said that he started working on the first anime in his studio yesterday.
"Great! I will finish drawing everything by tomorrow. And when the new employees start working on Tuesday, they will be able to start working much faster with my drawings. So, I am optimistic about the studio releasing its first anime in April." Theo replied with an excited smile.
"That's awesome, big brother!" Aurora smiled sweetly as she saw her brother's excitement.
"You know what we should do?" She asked suddenly as her eyes lit up as if she had an amazing idea.
"What?" Theo asked curiously as he saw her intriguing eyes.
"We should invite all of our friends to watch the first episode of the anime in our cinema! Something like our private premier night!" Aurora declared excitedly.
Theo's eyes also lit up when he heard that.
He was also excited.
Theo was a young man that felt excitement in sharing such an important moment of his life with the people he liked.
Just like when an athlete liked when his family and friends watched him/her compete, Theo also wanted to see the reaction of his friends when they watched the first anime produced by his studio.
Would they like it?
Theo would be ecstatic if they do.
So, it was natural for him to be enticed by Aurora's idea.
"That's an amazing idea, cupcake!" Theo exclaimed.
"Right? I am a genius after all." Aurora grinned smugly.
Theo laughed as he saw his sister's expression.
Aurora also started laughing as she heard his laughter.
The sound of two people's joyful laughter could be heard in the house on top of the hill.
They were happy to be in each other's company.
"I think I found the perfect place for us to go on our vacation." Theo stated with a playful smile after they stopped laughing.
"Really? Where?" Aurora asked immediately as she looked at him with inquisitive and curious eyes.
She was like a puppy that was waiting for a treat.
Theo chuckled as he saw her behavior.
To strangers, Aurora might be a cold person, but with her brother and friends, she was just a sweet and lively girl.
"Have you heard about the Heart Islands?" Theo asked finally.
He could not resist her puppy eyes.
"Hmm, isn't that a small country in the Mohana Continent?" Aurora asked with a pondering look as she recalled her geography lessons.
"Exactly! And what do you know about this country?" Theo asked as he took a bite of his toast.
"Let me see..." Aurora pondered as she tried to remember everything she knew about this country.
"This country is named like that because when the Sakura Abode Empire's fleet arrived there, they realized that these islands were shaped like a heart. These islands became part of the empire for centuries and later when the empire decided to withdraw from all the conquered countries, the Heart Islands became a country."
"And because of the past long-term relationship with our country, this group of islands maintained a friendly relationship with the Sakura Abode." Aurora recalled her past lessons.
"And you know what that means right?" Theo asked with shining eyes.
Aurora's eyes lit up as she also realized what Theo meant.
"That this country does not demand a visa from Sakura Abode citizens to enter it!" Aurora shouted excitedly.
"Hell yeah! I heard that the Heart Islands are one of the most beautiful places in the world." Theo said excitedly.
"Yeah, and it is so beautiful that the main earns from the country are from tourists that visit the country." Aurora stated equally excited.
"They have beautiful beaches, forests, mountains, lakes, volcanos." Theo remembered the pictures from the Heart Islands he saw on the internet.
"I heard that they have amazing dishes, big brother." Aurora smiled sweetly.
"Yeah, do you remember the meat I made yesterday?" Theo asked.
"Yeah, it was so exotic and delicious!" Aurora exclaimed as she almost drooled when she remember the meat that her brother prepared for dinner yesterday.
"I used a seasoning from the Heart Islands that Ayia gave to me. So, I imagined that Culinaire from this country must be delicious too." Theo said with shining eyes.
His heart pumped with the thought of tasting new dishes that he never heard of.
He did not have problems eating new things.
Some people don't like eating new dishes and just eat the same old dishes for their entire life.
But Theo was different.
He wanted to explore the huge culinary world of Azure Star, he wanted to have tasteful adventures in this new life.
He wanted to enjoy his life to the fullest.
Even though he wanted to realize his dreams in the entertainment world, Theo did not want to forget his other dreams.
To discover new places and food in this new world that the universe granted him the opportunity to transmigrate.
"Wow! Really? Then I can't wait to taste the food from there!" Aurora exclaimed excitedly.
"It's decided then. We will go to the Heart Islands." Theo declared with a brilliant smile.
"Yay!" Aurora exclaimed with a sweet smile.
The two siblings looked at each other with expectant eyes.
If it was possible, they wanted to board the plane to the islands tomorrow already.
But the two of them had too much to do this month, so this crazy idea was not possible for them.
But even then, they were too eager about their first vacation ever!
And now they would go somewhere amazing that they never even dreamed to go before.
If someone told the two of them that they would be traveling to a place as awesome as the Heart Islands 6 months ago, they would scoff at it.
Their only chance would be if they earned some kind of contest.
But now, they had more than enough money to travel to such a place.
"I will call our friends to have dinner tomorrow, we can ask if they want to come with us on this vacation." Theo stated with gleaming eyes.
Aurora's eyes were shining when she heard that.
She wanted to enjoy this vacation with her brother and their friends.
But would their friends accept to come with them?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
