She bit into the egg tart. "It is good. Never though peameal bacon would be good."

They both started walking. Adara started to say some stff about her father. "My father was boxer; he was 15-1. He lost to Arnold Peskwitz, then he went back to avenge his loss. He did try MMA; he was 2-3. He won two via decision."

"So MMA wasn't his sport? Interesting." 

"He also has love for classical music: Beethoven, Bach, Chopuin... You name it, he listens to it."

Ashihiro said, "Lemme stop you there. I'm gonna go in here and get me a Warheads soda. Want one?"

"No, thank you."

Ashihiro went inside the convenience store for a Warheads soda. He came out with 2 of them. "I'm back. Tell me more about your father."

"He hates mayo." Adara put her hand o Ashihiro's shoulder. 

"So do I. We just might get along." He cracked open a Warheads soda and started drinking it. 

"He also hates EDM."

Ash felt his heart sink. "But I love EDM... Damn." 

"He's also protective of me when it comes to boys. He saw that the last 3 boyfriends weren't up to snuff. One of my exes left me with a 50.00¥ dinner bill!"

"Damn, that sucks. He must've been a bum."

"He was one. He was usually on the streets begging for money, even though he had premium cable at home. He also stole from people." 

"He was a terrible boyfriend, I see." He put his can in a trash bin.

"He was in the military for 20 years before moving to Japan. His life is made. Yeah, I know I'm a military brat."

"Me too, except my father served in Japan. He was honourably discharged last year." He opened his second Warheads drink. and went to town. "What about your mother?"

"She works at a gym. She can make a mean Olivier salad as well."

Ashihiro paused his drinking. "My mom doesn't work. She has a few side hustles though. She can make a meeeean popcorn ball."

Adara looked up at the sky. "My father says he wanted to tell me something important. Wonder what it is?"

"Maybe he's getting a new job..." Ashihiro threw his second can away.

"No, he works at Walmart to make extra money. He gets a check from the Navy every month. As I stated, his life is made. He really doesn't have to work."

The two arrived at her parents' house. "Finall... I can sit. My dogs are barking," Ashihiro groaned. "My feet are killing me..."
