Kimora's POV
"Ah." I say as I walk onto the airbase I use to call home. "Home sweet home."
We're at our last friendly of 2020 and we're playing Japan.
We played and beat Australia twice on their home soil then we flew up to Japan a few days ago
No clue why US Soccer scheduled three friendlies, but I don't really mind.
I love being back in Japan.
Today's our off day so the national team took a bus from Rifu up to Misawa Air Base.
Kyra and I were coming here with our soulmates and our family anyway, but somehow we got roped into allowing the team to come with us.
"Are we gonna see where you lived?" Jackie asks.
After the Dutch played their two EURO Qualifying matches I flew Jackie to Japan because I wanted her to see where I grew up.
Kyra also flew Jordyn out to do the same thing.
"Yeah." I say as I intertwine my hand with Jackie's.
"Oh how I missed this place." Kyra says as she and Jordyn stand next to my soulmate
"IS THAT WHO I THINK IT IS?" I hear an all too familiar person shout.
"Fuck off." Kyra and I say then we look for the person who shouted.
"Is that who you're looking for?" Jordyn says and points at the dude my twin and I are looking for.
"MR. WAMBO." My twin and I shout then we sprint over to the man we haven't seen since Dad's funeral.
When Kyra and I get to Mr. Wambo, we jump into his arms.
"Oh how I've missed you girls." Mr. Wambo says as he hugs us.
My twin and I hum in response then we enjoy being in our favorite uncle's arms.
"Okay it was a lot easier to do this when you were little." Mr. Wambo says then he sets us on the ground.
Once my twin and I are standing on the ground we latch back on to Mr. Wambo.
"It's so good to see you two." Mr. Wambo says. "Looks like your friends are coming over."
"So." Kyra says. "Hug."
Mr. Wambo chuckles, but he continues hugging us until Kyra and I stop.
"Um." I say as I look at my teammates, my soulmate, and my family. "This is Mr. Wambo."
"He was our Dad's Wingman from 1999 to 2011." Kyra says. "Now he's the Commander of the whole Misawa Air Base."
"Hello." Mr. Wambo says then we introduce him to everyone.
After we introduce Mr. Wambo to everyone I look at my second favorite man I've ever met.
"Where's Mrs. Wambo?"
"She's in Tokyo with the kids." Mr. Wambo says. "They'll be back tomorrow."
"Aww." Kyra says.
"You still fly Kimora?" Mr. Wambo asks.
"Yeah?" I say.
"Wanna fly your Dad's old plane?"
"It's not scrapped?" I question.
"It will tomorrow." Mr. Wambo says then I turn around and face my family.
"Please." I say.
"Can we watch?" Mom asks.
"Of course." Mr. Wambo says. "Just give me a couple hours to get it ready then you can fly it."
"Sick." I say then I give Mr. Wambo my number.
"I'll call you when it's ready." Mr. Wambo says.
I nod then Kyra and I hug Mr. Wambo before he leaves.
"I didn't even know he was still here." I say.
"Me either." Kyra says then we turn and face everyone.
"Why's he called Mr. Wambo?" Mama asks.
"His name's William Rambo, but we couldn't say Rambo when we were younger so we said Mr. Wambo and it' stuck." Kyra says.
"Aww."
"I guess we can look around until the plane's ready." I say.
Everyone nods then I intertwine my hand with my soulmates before we start walking.
While we're walking around the base we take my family and teammates by our old school, our dad's old office building, the cafeteria where we'd have lunch with Dad everyday, and our old house.
"I can understand how you two slept in the same bed when you were younger." Moe says. "But how do you two sleep in the same bed now?"
"Like this." I say then I stand behind Kyra and wrap an arm around her waist before we make exaggerated snore noises.
"So you do like being the little spoon." Jordyn says.
"Who doesn't?" Kyra asks.
"It's always nice to be little spoon." I say.
"Noted." Jackie mumbles as my phone buzzes then I check it.
My phone buzzed because I got a text from Mr. Wambo that the plane's almost ready.
"We can head over to the plane thingy." I say.
"I know you shouldn't eat before a flight in a fighter jet." Sydney Leroux says. "But can we get a snack."
"Yeah." I say then I lead everyone over to the airport part of the base.
When we get to the airport, Kyra takes everyone to get a snack while I go get dressed.
Once I'm dressed in all the flight gear I get handed my Dad's old helmet.
"He left it here when you all went state side." Mr. Wambo says as a lady puts my hair into my suit so it's out of the way. "I kept it in hope's that I could get it to him, but..."
"Oh." I say.
"Take it with you when you leave." Mr. Wambo says. "It needs to stay in your family."
"I'll take good care of it." I mumble.
"I know you will." Mr. Wambo says. "Wanna go fly?"
"Hell yes." I say then Mr. Wambo leads me out to my dad's old F-16.
When we get to my Dad's old F-16 I smile at my Dad's tail image.
Dad had Kyra and I draw on pieces of paper then he put our drawings on the tail of his F-16.
"It hasn't changed." I say.
"It's been in a hangar ever since you all left." Mr. Wambo says.
"Can I do Dad's old trick?" I question.
"Oh hell yes." Mr. Wambo says.
"Sick." I say then I climb up into the jet.
Once in the jet I connect to everything then the canopy lowers over.
"Alright Mini-Lightning." Mr. Wambo says over the radio making me smile.
Dad's nickname was Lightning while Mr. Wambo's was thunder.
"You are cleared to do your thing and we'll meet you over by Lake Ogawara." Mr. Wambo says so I head over to the runway.
"Sweet." I say. "There aren't any bullets or other weapons on here right?"
"No Mini-Lightning." Mr. Wambo says. "You're all good."
"Sweet."
"HI MOMO." Kyra shouts.
"Jesus Woman." I say.
"Hi Bubs." Mom says.
"Can all of you here me?" I ask then everyone says hi. "Cool."
"Mini-Lightning this is ATC Rondon." Some dude says over the radio. "You are clear for departure."
"Fuck yes." I mumble then I accelerate. "HOLY FUCK."
A couple seconds later I lift off into the air then I hit the radio button
"THAT WAS SO COOL." I shout.
"Oh so you can yell." Kyra teases. "MoMo I need to yell."
"Alright." I say.
"I CAN SEE YOU." Kyra shouts as I turn back towards the Lake.
"Where are you?" I ask as I look at the shore then someone shoots a flare into the air. "Gotcha."
"You're going so fast." Jackie says.
"I feel like my Dad." I mumble.
"You fly like him." Mr. Wambo says.
"Cool." I say. "Now if you'll excuse me...It's trick time."
"Have fun Bubs." Mom says then I do a barrel roll a couple hundred feet above my friends.
For the next twenty or so minutes I do a bunch of tricks that my Dad taught me.
"Trick time MoMo." Kyra says as I head back to the far end of the lake. "Our headsets are protective."
"I've always wanted to try this" I say then I turn around.
Once I'm turned around, I swoop down low and fly just above the lake then I zoom towards my friends and family.
"She's coming in very low." I hear Ali say.
"Is a wave gonna hit her?" Mom asks.
"Just wait." Kyra says then I accelerate even faster.
"She's gonna hit us." Lindsey says causing me to smirk.
At the last possible safe moment, I pull up on the sticks then I soar into the sky as I do barrel rolls.
After I've done enough barrel rolls, I flip back around, zoom back down, then once again at the last possible safe moment I pull up on the sticks then I zoom across the lake.
"THAT WAS SO COOL." Sonnett shouts. "AND KINDA SCARY."
"See you back at base Mini-Lightning." Mr. Wambo says.
"See ya." I say then I continue flying around.
A few minutes later I land back at the base then I taxi over to where my friends and family are.
Once I'm parked, I turn the plane off then I lift off the canopy as Mr. Wambo climbs up the steps to the plane.
"What'd you think?" Mr. Wambo asks as he sits on the steps outside the plane
"I want it." I say. "I'll pay to keep it."
"That's a lot of money Kimora." Mr. Wambo says.
"15 million work?" I ask.
"I'll pass along the offer to the Air Force Brass and let you know." Mr. Wambo says.
I nod then I unhook from everything and follow Mr. Wambo down the steps.
"You looked like Dad." Kyra says as she hugs me.
"I wish you could've been up there with me." I mumble.
"We both know I woulda passed out." Kyra says then we both laugh.
After Kyra and I hug, I take off my Dad's helmet then hold it in my hands as my Mom's and Kyra I's soulmates walk over.
"It's okay to be emotional Bubba." Mama says then she and Mommy wipe tears from my eyes.
"I love you three." I say. "But I miss them so much."
"And that is perfectly okay Kimora." Mommy says. "You are just as much their daughters as you are ours."
"I can send the girls away if you need a moment." Mom says, but I shake my head no.
"I'm trying to buy the plane." I say. "I told Mr. Wambo my offer and he's gonna pass it long to the Air Force Brass."
"Really?" Jackie asks.
"Yeah." I say. "I just thought you all should know."
"Well I hope they let you have it." Jackie says then everyone else nods.
"Me too Jackie." I say. "Me too."
