"Alrighty, brother! This is the rough plan I have laid out for our little family vacation to Aria" said an excited Shin, clearing their breakfast off the dinner table.
Taiga opened his mouth to speak, but Shin continued on with his ramblings.
"Tomorrow morning we catch the Arian bullet train at Emberstan Central, obviously going through the underground passage, I am not trying to engage with those religious freaks up in Winterhill. Then, once we're in Aria, I know a guy."
"Who the hell could you possibly know in Aria?"
"That was a lie - you got me. Buuut, I do know how to find guys, so once we're in Aria sneaking into Don's office will be like taking candy from a baby, an obese baby, but a baby nonetheless."
"There is no way this'll work- this isn't even a goddamn plan. What I say we should do is wait a week or so, try to gather more information on the Don and Aria, and then set sail." suggested Taiga.
"Nah, we'll be fine. Worse case we get arrested, but that Don guy is definitely a character, so if he catches wind that we're trying to sneak in he'd humour us at least. Anyways, I'm gonna go get some snacks and supplies for our trek - want anything?" replied Shin.
"Nah, I'm full." answered Taiga.
As Shin walked his bicycle from the shed in their back garden to the busy sidewalk in front of their house, he was greeted by a familiar face.
"Hey shorty, where are you heading this early in the morning - a date perhaps?"
As Shin looked up from the floor, he gradually saw the woman facing him. Initially, Shin caught sight of tall, black boots that wouldn't look out of place on a cowboy. Each piece had a heart-shaped spur extending near the heel. Within the heart, you could barely make out a faint 'S' engravement, the boot seemed to have been worn for years on end. At any other point in time, said boots would be nearly invisible to the average person as the woman wore long, baggy grey jeans that covered her from waist till toe. Luckily for Shin, the girl had her hands in her pockets and was purposefully raising the jeans to show off her high fashion. Looking up, Shin saw the girl wearing a green and yellow crop top, boasting a picture of the Earth in its centre. The girl herself seemed to be the same age as the twins, maybe a year older, sporting dark brown curly hair and a number of piercings. She had the usual ears and nose piercing, but also stuck her tongue out - flaunting a metal ball sat on the middle of her tongue.
"What do you want - Silver?" asked Shin
