The biggest challenge of going on a twenty-two and a half hour flight with a six-year old was of course, keeping the same six-year old entertained until the plane landed at the other end. Still, even as Rhodey found himself playing what felt like the hundredth round of Go Fish, he is glad they made the decision easily to bring Morgan with them on their honeymoon in Indonesia.

When Morgan runs out of cards on this current game, Pepper is quick to intervene with, "Okay sweetie, why don't you color or draw for awhile, and let Mommy and Daddy have a little time together?"

"Okay, Mommy!" Morgan agrees as he gets up and runs over to the other side of the lounge area.

They watch the little boy for a moment before Rhodey turned to his wife and murmured, "Thank you! Go Fish is a good game but we've played so many rounds I've lost count. I'll tell you one thing: that little boy really loves playing Go Fish!

Pepper laughed, "Yes, yes, he does, and I thank you so much for playing with him! Good news, we're a little over half way to Indonesia."

"That's good because I don't know how much longer I can play Go Fish without losing my mind!"

They both laughed again, and then Rhodey moved to sit by his wife. He wrapped his arm around her, she laid her head on his shoulder, and together they both looked over at Morgan.

"There are still times I still can't believe how much he looks like Tony," Rhodey said quietly.Morgan was busy coloring, his complete attention on what he was doing. "He's even got his tongue out like Tony used to do when he was completely absorbed in what he was doing."

Pepper blinked away tears, picturing in her head what he was talking about. She remembered clearly seeing the same look and tongue thing with Tony, "Yeah, he does."

Morgan threw his crayon down, picked up his art, and run over to them, "Mommy, Daddy, look what I did! Look at what I did!"

"What a day!" Pepper said as she sat down on the sofa.

"Yeah, what a day!" Eva agreed as she closed the suite door behind them, then joined her mother. "I'm tired, and we still gotta pack!"

Nodding, Pepper hauled herself up and held out her hand, "Why don't we go get that done now, kiddo, so we can relax and enjoy our last night here in Kyoto?"

Eva sighed, then grabbed her mother's hand, standing up beside her. They went over to their bedroom doors and parted, each going to pack in their own rooms.

As she went into her room, Pepper thought about the past week she'd spent with her daughter. They'd been in Japan for seven days, and tomorrow they'd fly home. She smiled as she thought about all the things they'd done together in the past week, but she especially thought about today.

On their last day here, Pepper had had no meetings, and so she'd asked Eva what she's wanted to do. At first Eva hesitated, then said, "You know how we've been seeing the geishas all over the place here, Mom?"

"Mmmhmm."

"Well, I think it'd be fun to dress up like one for a day. I mean they wear such pretty kimonos, and their makeup and hair are so intricate..."

As she said this, Pepper didn't miss how much she looked like Tony when he's running an idea by her he's not sure she'll like. She eased the fourteen-year-old's anxiousness. "So do I, sweetheart. So do you know how we can dress up like geishas for a day?" 

The smile on Eva's face had been so big as she squealed and hugged her mother. "Yeah, the concierge said she could make all the arrangements for us! She knows the best place where they'll dress us up like geishas, and even teach us to do some of the stuff they do! Oh, Mom!"

"Ready, Mom?"

Pepper looked at Eva, taking in the beautiful blue kimono Eva was wearing, and she thought of how this was the best trip she has ever had to Japan.
