After around thirteen hours of flight time, the group of friends finally arrived at Tan Son Nhat International Airport. Thao, who had arrived earlier on a different flight, was at the airport to pick them up.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Blythe, Shaun's cousin," said Blythe politely as she extended her hand towards Thao.
"I'm Thao," replied Thao coolly as she reluctantly shook Blythe's hand.
"So you are Cow!" exclaimed Tiffany after scrutinizing the girl from head to toe. "What a weird name you've got! Do your parents like to drink milk or something?"
"No, my name is 'Thao' not 'Cow', it means 'courteous' and 'respectful' in Vietnamese," answered Thao proudly.
"Well, looks like your parents gave you the wrong name, cuz you're both uncourteous and disrespectful," responded Tiffany, rolling her eyes.
"There, there, quit fighting and be nice to each other!" said Shaun.
"Shut up, nerd!" screamed Tiffany and Thao in one voice, then they glared at each other angrily and both turned away.
"Jeffie, let's go! My car's over there." said Thao as she touched Jeffrey's arm affectionately.
"Hey, how dare you call him 'Jeffie'! Only I can call him that! That's my special name for him!" shouted Tiffany madly as she waved her hands about.
"Tiffany, if you want to win this game, you've got to chill! No one likes a name-calling eccentric woman," whispered Blythe secretly. "But, don't worry, you've got me on your side."
They followed Thao to the parking lot, where Thao parked her SUV. Jeffrey offered to help the ladies place their luggage in the back of the car.
"OMG, Tiffany, why do you have two huge suitcases? We’re only there for a week, not a year!” asked Jeffrey as he helped Tiffany unload her luggage.
"Well, Jeffie, girls have to keep a constant supply of a change of clothes,” answered Tiffany as she touched her hair. “I’ve checked the weather forecast and it says 30 degrees all year round! Can you imagine that? Plus, I have to be prettily dressed for you all the time, Jeffie!”
