After unpacking the rest of his things, placing each item carefully in his room making sure everything had a place, Hiroshi decided it was time for a nice, relaxing break. He grabbed his Acoustic Guitar and headed his way down to the park. He searched for a few minutes trying to find the perfect spot to play some melody's he's been practicing, and after finally finding that one spot right, he swung his guitar that had been clung onto his backside to his front, he sat down against one of the bulkier trees giving plenty of shade on the grass. His legs spread out freely, taking in the fresh air he was starving for, he crossed his legs getting into his position to begin one of the songs he has been working on by one of his favorite American bands, Good Charlotte. He tuned his guitar making sure the cords were tuned correctly, and started strumming along before getting to the words: "Here I am on the phone again and, Awkward silence is on the other end, I used to know the sound of a smile in your voice...."

Huong Tu and Hua were walking through the park as a way to relax after finishing unpacking, and they heard music. Usually, they would walk right past, but Huong Tu stopped Hua from going any further, the look in his eyes determined. "I know that sound." "是什么呢 (What is it)?" Hua asked. Huong Tu couldn't speak Chinese, but after spending so much time with Hua, he had learned to understand it. "It sounds like..." Huong Tu began, his voice fading off as he snuck around a tree, the exact person he thought it was coming into view. "Hiroshi!!!!" Huong Tu yelled in excitement, running over to the other boy and giving him a big hug, careful to avoid the guitar, but still stopping Hiroshi from singing. "Xiao (little) Hiro!" Hua called out, smiling wide at his friend but not going in for a killer hug like Huong Tu had, using a nickname he had given Hiroshi a little while ago.

Continuing the song he was singing, Hiroshi was suddenly trampled by another boy with same colored hair as him. "Ahh!" he squealed as he was attacked by a killer hug. Getting his eyes back into focus from the monstrous hug, Hiroshi finally recognized the two boys in front of him. "Huong Tu! Hua!" he shouted in all grins, hugging back Huong Tu, pushing his guitar to the side of him to get a better grip on his hug. "How'd you guys know it was me? I mean, I didn't think my voice was that recognizable." he wondered, in all chuckles and giggles.

"I know you," Huong Tu replied with a grin. Hua nodded, "Your hair is obvious, too." He added, his accent still strong. "Can I have hug too?" He asked, opening his arms. "We missed you man." Huong Tu added, letting him go.

Hiroshi just laughed at each of their explanations. Especially the one about his hair giving him away. "Yeah, I guess that's obvious." he laughed, swinging his guitar up and over his head, setting it gently down onto the grass in order for him to stand up to give Huo that hug he's been waiting for. Squeezing him tightly, he grinned at Huong Tu's next comment. "I missed you guys too. I was so worried about what had happened to you two during the hurricane." he explained worriedly, finally letting loose of Hua's hug. "How've you guys been besides that though?"

"We were worried to! I thought we'd never see you again!" Huong Tu said. "We are good. Slow unpacking." Hua replied. "It's not like we're being pressured to unpack any quicker though. Mom and dad are unorganized, too." Huong Tu added to Hua's comment, sticking his tongue out.

Hiroshi laughed at the last comment, glad to know they were doing alright though. "I know! I thought I wouldn't see you guys again either! It's been way too long since we've seen each other. I missed you guys." he repeated back, showing he really did mean it. "Oh? I already finished unpacking. Which is why I wanted to come down here. I wanted to practice some of my music, but staying at home would of been much more boring than being outside at the new park."

"Well, we got here like, two days ago." Huong Tu explained. "To get everyone unpacked is nearly impossible." "Plus mom and dad lazy." Hua added in with a chuckle.

"Really? Oh, well we got here about a week ago. Some people still aren't finished packing either. Especially my dad, he's been in and out of the house recently doing paperwork and stuff." Hiroshi explained, grabbing his guitar from against the tree, swinging it back over his shoulders, so it was hanging behind him.

"Oooh, yeah. Our mom and dad are working on paperwork to transfer to a new division for work." Huong Tu told Hiroshi. Hua nodded, holding onto Hiroshi's hand and swinging it playfully. "I am happy you're here~" He said, his voice light and airy as he mumbled the words, happy to see his friend.

"Yeah, my dad is working on some adoption paperwork for two of the new kids that just moved in with us." Hiroshi explained some more, squeezing Hua's hand tighter as he started swinging their arms. "I'm happy your here too." he grinned widely, squeezing Hua into a hug, lifting him off his feet a little bit as he did so.

Hua giggled lightly as he got lifted off the ground. "You play guitar really awesome now!" He told Hiroshi. "Can we hear you play more?"
Huong Tu nodded enthusiastically, "Yeah, we'd love to hear you play!" He told his friend.

"Well, I would like to finish the song I started before I got interrupted." he told them with a grin. As he kissed Hua's forehead like a father would to his child before setting him back on the ground. "Alright, I'll play for you guys." he agreed, swinging his guitar back around to his front, getting his fingers back to the position they were at last time. "I'll start from the beginning again," he told them without looking up, as he began the melody once again before adding in the words next:
"Here I am on the phone again and, Awkward silence is on the other end, I used to know the sound of a smile in your voice...."
He continued singing in his beautiful voice, for his English continued progressing marvelously as he was determined to keep learning no matter how tough it may have seemed.

Huong Tu and Hua sat down on the grass, listening to their friend intently. Once he had finished the song, they both clapped enthusiastically. "That was awesome!" Huong Tu said excitedly. "Very cool!" Hua added in.

Finishing his last chord, Hiroshi smiled widely, giving his friends a bow as they applauded with much enthusiasm. "Thank you." he grinned. "I also been writing some songs on my own too. Most of them are in Japanese, but it sounds so cool." he explained, "I'm glad you guys like my music though. It really means a lot."
