Curious, Vanessa picked up the letter and caressed it with the tips of her fingers, tracing her fingers over the letters across the front which spelled out her full name and address. She recognized the style of font the letters where written in - 'Janda Happy Day' - and gave a soft grin at the thought of whom would use such a childish-looking style for such an important-seeming letter. Carefully opening the letter from the wax seal at the back, Vanessa pulled out the letter and began to read. Her eyes lit up and her smile grew as she scanned her way through the letter. Catching notice of this, Maria smiled warmly, and tried to peek at the content of the letter, "What is it, dear?" Seeing her mother's attempt, Vanessa turned the letter away and smiled back to seem as though she was not hiding anything, but infact shrugging it off, "Oh, it's nothing. Just an offering at some fancy school.. I'll think over it" to which Maria nodded and smiled again, "Well, that's wonderful darling! It's about time they paid attention to my smart little girl" she said, pinching Vanessa's cheek which made her glare softly.
Giggling happily, Maria released her daughter's cheek and began to leave the room, "Alright sweetie, I'll leave you to get dressed and think about it. Breakfast is on the table when you'd like some." Vanessa nodded and waited for her mother to leave, then as the door shut she giggled and squirmed excitedly, kicking off her bed covers then jumping up to approach her closet, skimming for something to wear but also planning things to pack.
After breakfast, Vanessa was packed and ready to go, so she brought her suitcase and side-bag along with her down the stairs into the main room, and dropped her stuff there as she stepped toward the kitchen, where her parents sat leisurely talking about the news. Mother and father both greeted Vanessa with a warm smile and motioned her over, to which she obliged but hesistated. She hadn't quite agree'd upon what she was about to do, but she couldn't have her parents knowing. Not yet atleast. Giving a soft sigh, which cued "What's wrong sweetheart?" from her father, she pulled them both over and gave them a hug before begining her speech, "I love you both, very much.." she began, closing her eyes as she pushed herself into their minds, "You've always been good to me and I appreciated it. But I have to go.." Vanessa probed their memories and began selecting the ones containing her, "I hope you understand, I don't know if you'll see me again.." with those words she plucked out the memories and erased them, sending her parents into a temperary state of shock, which she saw as her oppertunity to leave, "I'm sorry, I love you" she said, then gathering her things and slipping out the door.
On the plane, Vanessa sat contently reading one of her favorite books - The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - and didn't even glance as she saw the man lift his belongings into the over-head compartment next to her own small bag. Vanessa sighed and turned a page as he sat, knowing he would most likely try to talk. The man outstretched his hand and named himself as 'Stephen'. Vanessa saw the only kind thing to do would be to acknowledge him atleast before continuing to read. Placing the book down and using her thumb as a page-marker, Vanessa looked to Stephen and smiled warmingly, elegantly shaking his outstretched hand, "Vanessa. Pleased to meet you. And well, all I could say is respect others. And don't vomit."
