They stood there waiting in a row while the tall young man with glasses finished going through customs. After he was done, Ashley instantly raised her hand and waved to get his attention. "! Harvey Harvey, over here!" She yelled out to him.
Harvey raised his head when he heard his name and quickly walked over to them holding just a briefcase in his hand. He smiled at the sight of his friends, minus one of course, waiting for him. "I'm home!" He greeted me with a grin and held his arms out wide for a hug.
Ashley was the first to gladly accept his hug. She stood there holding on to him for a while, slightly resting her head against his chest. For her to stop it took Harvey to clear his throat and say, "Ah, Ashley "long time, no see" 
She let go of him quickly and nodded, a slight red tinge overtaking her face. "Yes..." Before she could say anything else, Harvey moved over to Calex and Lucas to exchange some brotherly hugs. Ashley felt her heart drop a little but smiled nonetheless at the happy occasion.
"It's good to see you back home again, Harvey," Calex said after they exchanged hugs. "Say, have you found yourself a nice American girl yet?" He inquired with a devious grin.
Harvey chuckled, pushing his glasses upward from falling. "No, not yet. I guess I'm too much of a nerd to find one."
"No, you aren't!" Ashley exclaimed from behind. "You've grown into such a handsome young man!" Three pairs of eyes looked at her in shock. "Ano... I mean..." She faltered, cupping a hand over her mouth.
"She's right." Everyone looked over to who said this and found Azumi standing a close distance away with her arms crossed. "Welcome back, Harvey."
"Azumi! I'm home!" Harvey went over to hug Azumi. Ashley felt a bit relieved that Azumi had just arrived, grabbing the attention away from her previous outburst. They all continued walking out of the airport together, many questions arising about Harvey's experience in the States. Ashley, although having no questions of her own, listened intently as Harvey spoke. She only half hoped that what she said earlier would not have an impact on him.
The night of the party on Friday came around quickly for Cleo, mostly because no one seemed to want to associate with him at school thus resulting in no trouble for him. He didn't mind at all of course.
That night Cleo managed to find Harold's mansion, although it was hidden away between many large pine trees on the sprawling grounds. As Sean had mentioned earlier, the party was casual wear so Cleo just threw on a black polo t-shirt, some dark blue jeans, and a pair of black sneakers.
He made his way through the wrought iron gates and continued down a walkway that was beautifully lit by the string of lights adorning the trees. Admiring the sight so fully, Cleo failed to notice yet another sign with English script that said "Welcome Back Party for Harvey Miranda" before he entered the open French-style double doors.
The main foyer was empty so he followed the sound of many voices chattering in a ballroom nearby. Going through the doorway, he stopped dead in his tracks at the sight before him. Everyone was in formal wear.
Shit. Those bastards lied to me and I fell for it. Cleoberry could only continue walking in and pretended to not notice the stares he was getting. All the boys were in formal suits and tuxedos and the girls were all wearing gowns and dresses as if it were prom. He heard a few snickers of laughter beside him before he felt a hand on his shoulder forcing him to stop.
"Clean, glad you could make it." Cleo peered to his side to see Harold with a grin of satisfaction on his face. "But um, you're in the wrong kind of attire."
Cleo moved so that Harold's grip fell from his shoulder. "You assholes." He muttered through gritted teeth.
"Hey, don't get mad at us." Sean came in to comment. "We were joking. This isn't Harold's mansion at all. Couldn't you tell?"
"He obviously couldn't." It was Bobby's turn to come in. "But he's a commoner so it might be hard for him. It's a shame his regular clothes aren't nice enough to pass." Yumichika said as he eyed Cleo's outfit.
All three roared with laughter, causing those around them to stop and stare and notice Ichigo's clothes. Cleo's brow furrowed and his hand clutched itself instinctively into a fist. He was about to strike Harold first but was interrupted when someone announced that B4 had arrived. The three stooges left Cleo's presence to join the crowd as they gathered to watch B4 come into the room.
