Freshman Summer - Japan part 2

It was 630.
"Hey Rika, I'm going to get changed for bed, you coming?"
"In a minute Michelle, I'm going to have dessert first." Rika went back to chatting with her family in Japanese while Michelle went off to her room. She broke out the gameboy 3DS while waiting for Rika to come back. She thought about putting on the necklace, but wanted to wait for her friend. The minutes went by, and Rika was still out in the kitchen/dining room. She opened the door to go grab her friend, and almost hit Rika with the door. Rika came in and Michelle let the door close to the small office that was the boy bedroom while Henry was spending the summer.
"You are cutting is close."
"Not really, the timer I have has about 12 more minutes," replied Rika as she slid off the necklace. Her striped shirt changed from pink stripes to black, while the thigh-high tights merged with his shorts to become tight jeans.
"You don't know if it exactly 24 hours. Maybe the timing is off."
"Well, as you can see, it's not." There was a knock at the door, and Henry's aunt came in and grabbed Michelle.
"I know you two are good friends back home, but in Japan the boys and girls sleep separately. You will stay the night with my girls. You can see Henry in the morning," monologued Henry's aunt as she took Michelle out of the room. Henry was waving as the door closed. Michelle was deposited in the cousin's room, and the aunt left saying she would get Michelle her pajamas. It was only about 700.
Sakura and Akari gestured for Michelle to come over to their TV to watch some gameshow. Initially, Michelle was thinking about stepping out so she could turn back into Mikey and hang with Henry, but the gameshow, Candy or not Candy, was so interesting, especially with the two girls so excited to watch and explain it. After a couple episodes, Henry's Aunt dropped off the pajamas. Michelle said "arigato" and went back to watching the show and laughing with her new friends. After the 3rd episode, Michelle asked what other shows there were, and the girls were happy to show off some other shows. They asked about American TV. They saw part of an episode of human Tetris, followed by 5 minutes of human bowling. Then came an episode Kunoichi, which was like American Ninja Warrior with cosplaying women. Sakura wanted to be on the show so badly. The girls then started to watch Orange together, with the cousins being shocked that Michelle hadn't seen it. By episode 4, she was hooked. Henry's aunt and uncle said goodnight. Henry knocked on the door at episode 6, saw what was on the computer, smirked, and left, all without the girls noticing. After episode 7, the girls took a bathroom break and got some snacks of popcorn, seaweed covered pretzels and Pocky. While episode 8 was playing the girls got into their PJs, with the cousin's getting into only nightshirts and Michelle putting on something like t-shirt and boxers. It was only partway through the episode that Michelle realized she saw two attractive Japanese girls naked, albeit briefly, and he was naked in front of them without thinking about it. Before he could dwell on it too much, he was caught up in the show. The last few episodes flew by. The girls talked about time travel and sending messages back in time, each asking what another would send. Michelle mentioned that she would send it back to herself on a camping trip, but before she said the real reason, she change to story to prevent a leech. The cousin said ew in unison. The girls went to the bathroom to get ready for bed, and then went back to the cousin bedroom. Everyone said goodnight, and lights went out.
In the morning, the smell of breakfast came into the room, waking up Michelle. There was a folded outfit, including underwear, of hers on just inside the door. She got up and put it on everything, feeling a bit violated that Henry's aunt went through her stuff. She went outside, and all anger was lost at the sight of the gourmet, Japanese breakfast that awaited her. She was the last one up, and sat down immediately.
"Itadakimasu" said everyone before digging in. After a full belly, Michelle went to get her stuff in the office. Henry was helping with the dishes. Michelle was about to fish out the necklace, when she got the call from her mom that they were going to come pick her up for some family exploring. She decided to stay in girl form for a bit longer. She said her goodbyes to Henry's family, and got into the car the family rented. The rest of the day was finding temples, gardens and great places to eat. Zoe was really interested to hear about Orange, and said she was having a good time hanging out with her sister before going to college. Michelle decided to stay a girl the rest of the trip. Michelle, Zoe and her mother took flower arranging and the tea ceremony lessons a couple times. Before she realized, the trip was going to end. Everyone went to the airport. Jon flew to Bali while the rest of the family went home. Everyone hugged their goodbyes, and went on their ways.
When Michelle got home, she met up with Diane would gave her a massive hug. She had only gotten 3 of the 4 of the postcards. They went through pictures together. While they were looking at photos Diane said, "I see you are still Michelle. Getting more comfortable?"
"Yea. I had a really good night as one of the girls with Henry's cousins. Between that, some time with my sister and obviously hanging with you, I guess being Michelle isn't so bad."
"I like Michelle too," said Diane as she squeeze Michelle's hand.
The next day, Mikey put on his necklace because he was going to meet up with Davis.
"Mikey, that pic you sent me of Henry was per-fect. You got the lips just as he was about to say something sarcastic, right?"
"Sure did."
"It was worth not having snacks for 2 weeks for that picture. Thanks for sending it."
"No problem."
"Have the necklace?"
