Summer.

Katelyn's second year in elementary has just ended. She came to her school and got her report card, enclose to it is her third honor card. Just before the end of their fourth quarter, Ms. Pardee had distributed Summer training brochures.

Katelyn saw the part about the voice training and so she convinced her parents to enroll her to it. Mr. and Mrs. Fields agreed to it and asked Kalley to enroll her sister at once.

Katelyn was totally looking forward to it. But since she still had some time to relax, she decided on going to Aunt Emily's house. Practically, she would see, Aunt Emily and Irina together with their children. Aunt Emily's husband always stays in Japan. They live there actually and just comes to the Philippines for a visit. Aunt Constance on the other hand, left for Israel. She followed Katelyn's mom and dad who works there. Leaving Sydney with her lazy father.

Grandma Clarice fetch Katelyn from her house and they both went to Aunt Emily's house.

Katelyn ran towards Aunt Emily and hugged her. She did the same to Akemi, who by the way grew taller than the last time Katelyn saw her. She sat at the dining table and chatted with her aunt. She missed Aunt Emily so much.

After dinner, they all went to Aunt Emily's room. Then she set up the video system. Katelyn's other cousins started to arrive. Sydney, who had her long hair cut into a short one. Shaggy one in fact. Her hair style made her look like a boy. Jane on the other hand still looked fine. Still had her white complexion compared to her sisters. Then, Yvonne came. Supported by her mother Aunt Irina. Then Mae. The youngest among the three girls.

When everything was set, Aunt Emily played the video tape. Katelyn remained at the bed and watched. She started giggling and laughing after seeing herself as a child.

They usually stayed at the Fields, and play with the hay. Their aunts would hold their feet and hands then start throwing them to the hay. It was fun. Then they would stand up then ask their aunts to throw them again. They would do that, even under the sun. They video's focus changed to Miko. He was holding a spoon and trying to get some hay. You might think it's weird and gross, but well, Miko isn't normal. At least you could see that he's happy hanging around his family.

Aunt Emily changed the tape. The next one contained a video of Katelyn. Standing holding a notebook and a pencil. "As a kid, you would always bring notebook and a pencil. Even when you go somewhere you would put those things inside your mom's bag." Katelyn chuckled. It does show that she loves writing. Then a scene came. When Katelyn was sitting at the bed's headboard and she teased Jane. Jane pulled her and she actually fell. They all laughed. Even Katelyn. She started teasing Jane again but Jane just laughed it out. The used to be easily annoyed Jane has changed into someone open for jokes.

Aunt Emily changed the tape again. The next tape contained Kalley and Kaye's fight. They fought like cats ready to scratch each other's eyes out. This wasn't new for Katelyn. After living with her sisters, practically her whole life. She had become used to it. Sometimes, they would fight like wrestling divas. Pushing each other, not complaing even when they hit hard things but surely they both cry. Katelyn, even though she's not included in their fights, starts to cry and stop them but they won't listen anyhow. At least the number of their fights have lessened. Katelyn thought.

That was the last tape. They had stayed that way, chatting, playing for several days. Then Katelyn's sister came. She said that it was time for Katelyn's voice lessons. She came back to her school. They did voice exercises. Performed at the end of the summer break. Or well, the training. Katelyn didn't learn much from the training. Because the truth is, she never listened much to their trainer.

Katelyn actually spent her whole summer with her favorite aunts and cousins.
