Chapter Text
"’Hula, we gotta leave for your plane soon! You got everything?"
Kahula looks through her checklist for the umpteenth time, muttering the listed items to herself. She nods triumphantly, certain that she has all the items on the list her dad gave her.
"Yeah!"
She hoists her backpack over her shoulder and picks up her suitcase, taking the stairs two steps at a time and heads to the living room to meet her dad.
Clement checks his phone clock. "Nice, we still have time to have lunch before we get to the airport. Are you absolutely sure you aren’t forgetting anything important? You got your ticket? Your laptop? Your phone?"
Kahula laughs, cutting her dad off, "Check, check, and check! I checked my list, like, a million times so I think I’m fine! Besides, you can just send me the things I’m missing later!"
Clement sighs in relief. "Right, I feel much better."
The honk of a car was heard in the distance.
"We should be heading out now, I think your other dad is getting impatient." He walks towards the door, opening it before standing vigilantly next to it like a soldier, "Are you ready to start on your journey, my little hero?" He bellows with the voice he reserves for when he is the Dungeon Master in a DnD session.
Kahula scoffs, "I’m not a hero yet, Dad,” she straightens up a little more, “but yes sir, Major Huilumi!" She raises her hand in a mock salute before lowering it sharply. She starts to head towards her dad, but stops and turns around. “Oh! I almost forgot to say bye to the house! Bye house! See you in two weeks or ten months depending if I pass or not! I'll miss you!" She enthusiastically waved her free hand towards nothing in particular.
Clement smiles a ‘she's growing up so fast but some things never change’ smile, before opening the door and the both of them walked out.
