Okisawa Todo quietly reclined in her plane seat, a pair of headphones covering her ears. She picked at her fingers a little, nervousness already having nibbled at her mind.

Beside her, Annahara smacked her hand lightly, not looking up from the large book she was reading.

Todo pouted a little, but let up and instead looked out the window, staring at the clouds as they passed.

They were almost there. Japan. Todo smiled, her home country! She brushed past some of her dark hair from her face, clicking open her phone to look at the time.

2:34. Only another twenty minutes of flying left. She closed her phone and looked around the private plane quietly.

Annahara was still reading, her thin glasses resting on the bridge of her nose as she did so. Tsukishima Makoto was signing to Yasahama Todobichi quickly, too fast for Todo to read.

She smiled fondly at the two friends, moving her eyes to Kage-Hara Toni and Hinata Kyotou who were still asleep, resting on each other's shoulders as they did so.

Asahina was quietly reading to Akaahane who was gently petting Bokuharu's hair down. It seemed so nice and peaceful.

Unfortually, Todo was not calm. Not at all. She was horribly nervous. As she looked back to Annahara, she felt a feeling well up in her chest again.

What if they had to go to different schools? He swallowed thickly, willing away the fear as she rested her head back against the seat, closing her eyes.

It was going to be okay... It always was.

--At Karasuno--

Ukai frowned as he glared at the paper before him. He glanced at Takeda who was talking to the vice principal a ways away, both looking very serious.

He looked back to the volleyball team. He had put them on a break, and currently they were talking amongst themselves, looking a little nervous as they casted small glances at the Vice Principal.

He sighed and rubbed his eyes. He needed a smoke, and he needed it soon.

He flipped over the paper, looking at the numbers on the back, phone numbers for the girls in case anyone needed to contact.

Captain, Captain, which one is the Captain? He thought as he read through the numbers again, soon seeing the words 'Vice Captain' written in neat print curtesy of Takeda, and quickly pulled out his phone.

He thought for a moment before nodding to himself and making his way over to Daichi and Koushi who were talking amongst themselves apart from the group.

"Oi, Sugawara!" He called to the silver haired boy, beckoning him over with his hand. He turned as Koushi jogged over to him, a mildly worried look on his face.

"What do you need, Ukai-San?" He asked, his golden eyes looking from the paper to the phone as Ukai handed them to him.

"I need you to call this number," he said, tapping the paper, "and I need you to explain that her and her team of girls need to come to Karasuno. From there, they'll be spread out into different schools in order to play." He said, crossing his arms.

"Got it?" He asked. Koushi nodded quickly, although he still looked very confused.

"Yes, sir!" He said, jogging back to Daichi and speaking softly to him before the two of them walked to the farthest part of the gym.

Ukai looked at the rest of the team. Hinata was jumping about, poking at Kageyama and speaking loudly while Kageyama shouted back at him.

Tsukishima was listening to music and Yamaguchi was talking quietly to Yachi while Nishinoya and Tanaka tried to talk to Kiyoko who was quite busy with her homework, but didn't have the meanness to snap at them.

He muttered to himself.

"I really need a smoke."
