Isamu rubs her hand in way of acknowledging her statement and her actions. With her remaining quiet, he leans back in his seat and relaxes while the flight completes.

The rest of the flight was smooth, and before long the plane beginning descent woke Isamu up. Ashley patted his hand and said, "Too late to turn back now." The plane began a steep flight path towards the tiny island below and Ashley suddenly started looking a little green again

Isamu says, "I believe once we passed the half way point in our flight it was too late to turn back as I doubt the plane would have had enough fuel to head all the way back to where we began."
As Ashley appeared to start taking ill again, Isamu grabs his unused air sickness bag and had it at the ready for her. He squeezes her hand and says, "it will be over shortly. Tell me what I can do to help."

The plane continued it's rapid descent and was quickly on the ground without Ashley getting sick. As the plane taxied to a halt, one of the front group stood up and said, "Thank you for flying Air Force express, we hope your ride didn't suck too much. Have a nice day and buh bye." The other three cracked up as he sat back down.
Once the plane stopped, a platform truck backed up to the plane and the door opened, allowing the hot tropical breeze fill the plane. The others began to unload as Ashley stood up. " Let's get this over with" she mumbled.

Isamu is glad Ashley did not get sick during the descent. He ignores the comments of the Air force personnel up in the front of the plane. Isamu stays seated for a moment and just watches as Ashley stands and stretches, a move that always seemed to mesmerize him.
He quickly joins her, takes her hands and brings them to his lips, "all will be fine since we are together. I will do my best to make your family like me."

"Uh huh. Just remember, let me handle it if things get heated. Okay?" Ashley said, then smirked as she arched a brow, " You know we don't have to go straight to my parents place. There are a few places I could show you. " Her mischievous grin emerged. " Dad and I are gonna fight anyways, I might as well give him some ammo."

Isamu smiles, "I did say that I would rely solely on you for directions while we are here."
He motions for her to step out ahead of him,"wherever you lead, I will follow."
Part of him wants to point out how it would probably be best for them to do as little as possible to further upset her family but he already upset her once on the trip so far and if he had to choose between upsetting her or people he hadn't even met yet...well time to see what she had in mind. "Where are you going to take me first. This is technically my first vacation."

As they collected their baggage, Isamu saw they were not at an airport at all. They had landed at a military base. Ashley flagged down an MP jeep, and with the flash of her ID, they were soon being given a ride off base. Once they were alone again, Ashley smiled, " Okay, first things first. You already knew it, but I'm hungry again. First stop, Mehani's. Best burgers on the big island." She flagged a taxi and told the driver where she wanted to go. To Isamu's surprise, she told the driver, " Holiday Inn?"
The driver nodded and popped the trunk for their bags.

Isamu hefted their bags to taxi and placed them into the trunk when it opened. When she says"holiday inn" he raises an eyebrow. "We will get room service then," he asks confused.This question instead of his standard "do they have fish or salad at that restaurant."

" No, we are going, just dropping off our bags." Ashley replied with a shrug before getting in. " What, did you think we were staying with my folks? Forget that."
The driver was giving Ashley a shocked look just as two of her symbiotes crossed her neck in plain sight.

Entering the cab next to Ashley, he waits for the cab driver to begin the drive before responding.
Isamu says, "I had no thoughts on where we would sleep tonight. I was just wondering if you wanted the hotel so I could fulfill my earlier offer," his tone matter of factly although his hand on her leg coupled with the squeeze he delivers would indicate what he meant.
"So this restaurant you mentioned is it one you frequented when you lived here," he asks innocently while still squeezing.

Caught off guard, Ashley blushed slightly as they pulled away. Clearing her throat, she replied, " It was my favourite place before I moved away. I always stopped there to and from the beach. Mehani used to make deep fried pineapple rings too. Probably toxic, but are they ever good."
The cab driver butted in, " Uh, sorry to do this, but you mean Mehani's on Cresent?"
"Yeah."
"Sorry, it burned down last summer. They built a burger king there. I can swing through the drive thru is you want on the way?"
Ashley slumped, "No, the hotel is fine. "

Isamu can see the disappointment written all over Ashley. He squeezes higher up her leg now, but says, "excuse me sir, do you know if this Mehani opened up somewhere else? Or maybe one of his old staff opened a similar restaurant serving items from his menu? If you do not know, perhaps you can find out for us." This last statement made while he holds up a $50 bill for the driver to see. Being he lives at the beach house, his schooling is covered by his uncle, whatever salary he makes as an agent of (whatever organization they work for) is expendable to him, and at the moment he can think of no better use.

"Sorry, Mehani decided to retire and move with her kids. There's other places, pends on which one you want." The driver said despite eyeing the bill.
Ashley shook her head," It's okay, the hotel is fine. But we need another cab to take us up to the north side. Do you go out of town?" Ashley said, still dejected but clearly appreciative for Isamu's effort.
" You know I'm due to take a lunch break, and there's a place across from the hotel I like, so when you are ready, I'll be parked across the street." He replied.
The ride to the Wakiki Beachcomber hotel was relatively quick though quiet as Ashley had merely snuggled in, and check in to their suite was quick with reservations and a flash of ID, though the poor teenager bellhop could barely lift Ashley's bags. Ashley tipped him a twenty after the door closed and then opened her one bag to rummage through for a change of clothes. " You'll want something light to wear, it can get even hotter and stickier here than in Miami." She said, pulling out a pair of capris and and a light colored t shirt. She also pulled out her form fitting wet suit and set it aside.

Isamu nodded as he opened his own luggage. He was not one to where jeans, and he preferred clothes that fit him loosely so he could transform if need be. He pulled a pair of khakis from his bag and one of the Cuban style dress shirts he had come to appreciate while living in Miami. The loose fitting linen shirt was dressy enough to meet people in, even considered the equivalent of a suit in the Cuban culture, and yet loose and thin enough to keep him cool even in the heat. The style of shirt also reminded him somewhat of some of the tradition clothes worn in Japan, but he knew wearing anything like that could cause issues with Ashley's family. Once all laid out on the bed, he removes his current clothes, goes into the bathroom to freshen up and comes back out and proceeds to dress in what he had laid out.
