Epilogue: Popular Diary
'Dear Comet,
Today feels like it will be a good day. I can see the clear, blue sky and I can feel a lovely breeze drafting from my window. I was awakened by warm sunlight early this morning though I hoped to sleep more. The weather is lovely. I haven't felt this alive in a long time. Oh, here comes my medicine. I'll check back in later.

"Have you heard of that cool website recently? Dear Comet dot com?"
"Yeah. It's been so popular lately. What was it about anyway?"
"Kinda like a blog slash advice column. You can type out everything you want and have the option to make it public or private. You can also ask Comet-san for advice when you need it as your account has a personal access to Comet-san and he or she replies to you. Comet-san's advice always works."
"Sounds kinda like LiveJournal. What made it so popular?"
"Well, LiveJournal seems so impersonal compared to Dear Comet. Dear Comet is like your diary online and with the friend system, there is another choice to share your blog among friends…"
"Like Facebook?"
"Yes…wait, no! I mean…ugh!" She threw her hands up in exasperation. "You can choose friends to share your diary."
"An online diary and an advice column. Big deal!"
The girl gave a sly grin at her friend. "You don't know anything, do you?"
'Dear Comet,
Biggest night concert of my life…ever. I-'
"Kira! Get off that stupid laptop of yours. We go live in ten minutes."
The brunette looked up sheepishly from the gleaming white laptop on his lap. He was looking over his shoulder from where he was sitting as a younger brunette practically growled at him from the door. The scowl on his face deepened when he realized Kira had yet to move from his spot. "Kira!"
"Yes, yes! Shinn, I'll be there as soon as I can." Kira said, not bothering to shut his laptop down before folding it close. He narrowed his eyes at Shinn and said, "Might I remind you that I am three years older than you are, Shinn?"
Shinn rolled his ruby eyes and stuffed his hands into the pockets of his shiny black stage pants. He stared down at the older man. It unnerved Kira quite a bit. Normally, between the two men, Shinn was at least two inches shorter than Kira, but since Kira was sitting, Shinn had the height advantage. His lips curved into a smug smile and he said in a sarcastic tone, "Sure, whatever you say, Kira-san." He made sure to stress the san. Kira merely glared at him.
"When are you two going to stop flirting with each other?"
The two brunettes then realized how close their faces were and pulled away with a blush before glaring at the other voice and yelling angrily, "ATHRUN!"
The blue-haired man chuckled, having a lot of fun teasing the two. He shrugged, "I call it as I see it." When the two brunettes continued to glower at him, he raised his wrist to chest. He lowered a black sleeve to reveal a glimmering gold watch. He tapped his finger against it and said as he left the room, "By the way, it's five minutes until show time."
Athrun's eyes gleamed with mischief as he carefully closed the door before clicking his pointy leather shoes before moving away from the door. He counted his steps, "One…Two…Three." A loud yell of "ATHRUN" was heard from inside the mini trailer they called a dressing room. He cheekily grinned. A couple of female staff walking around the backstage nearly swooned at sight. His grin was still on his face until he heard the sound of two hurried footsteps behind him. Kira and Shinn both scrambled behind him, moaning about him not being fair. He simply shrugged.
"WHAT?"
The girl earlier nodded in self-satisfaction as she crossed her arms together. The girl beside her wore a ridiculous metal-like plastic hair band. She repeated to her friend, "Yes, most stars use Dear Comet over other mediums. Twitter is so last season! Dear Comet is their way of connecting to fans. I heard from someone that the Gundams among others are avid fans of the site."
"THE Gundams?"
"Yep. Why are you surprised?"
"Well, as we both know, we know for a fact that they just suddenly rose to the top two years ago. Now, they are the number one boy band in Japan. We know they have good looks and great voices as well as talent. But, we know nothing about their personal lives. Not their birthdays, their family or relatives, heck, we don't even know their real names!"
"Your point?"
"Why on earth would they be avid fans of Dear Comet? A personal blog as you said."
The girl shrugged, "I don't know, but I would like to think it's true. Besides, how would you know their stage names aren't their real names?"
Her friend let out a "Psh." She crossed her arms and let out a smirk. She said in a sarcastic tone, "Yeah. Like I'll be dumb enough to name my kids like that. Strike, Aegis and Impulse?"
The girl looked taken aback. "For your information, I like their names! Strike is a cool name!"
"We both know your bias is Strike anyway!"
The girl sighed dreamily, "Who wouldn't like him! He's sweet, charming and those amethyst eyes!"
Her friend sighed, "Yeah, yeah. Aegis is more my type. He's suave, cool and collected. Sure, I was at first freaked out by the blue hair, but yeah, he's even dreamier!"
The two were heatedly glaring at each other until they interrupted by a third voice that chimed in. "You're both wrong! It's the baby of the group, Impulse, that's the best. He has a fiery personality and skills to match!" Both of them looked at the third person in their group.
The first girl sighed, "You're late…" The latecomer laughed nervously. As the first girl started to scold her, they all heard screams starting to fill the arena. They looked at the stage to see that lights had started flashing here and there. They joined in the screams.
'And that commences tonight's concert, thanks for watching everyone! Have a pleasant evening!' Applause could be heard and several shouts of 'ENCORE' blasted from the tiny radio. The person listening to it could only sigh pleasantly before turning the radio off. She grazed the tiny machine for a brief moment. Her hand removed itself from the radio when the door to her room opened and the woman who opened it let out a gasp.
"Dear, you still aren't asleep!" The older women looked at the clock overhead and let out another gasp, "Goodness! It's already twelve." She scurried over to the younger woman who was still sitting up on her bed with her pink laptop on her lap. She blushed delicately before setting her laptop on her bedside table. She hadn't realized it had been that late.
"I'm sorry, Hannah-san. I'm always causing you trouble." She apologized meekly as Hannah tucked her into her bed. She looked over at the tiny radio the girl had been toying with earlier and sighed in understanding. Hannah gently patted the girl's hair down and smiled warmly, "I know how much they mean to you, dear, but please do get some rest. Your body is weak as it is."
The girl nodded before closing her eyes and falling asleep almost instantly. Hannah shook her head and started collecting the medicine bottles on the table. The opened laptop caught her attention. Feeling a little guilty of peeking into the girl's stuff, the old nurse almost closed it, but the screen caught her attention. She looked at the girl peacefully sleeping on the bed before reading the screen. Another smile made its way to her face, but this time it was a sad one. She looked over at the girl and rested a hand on her forehead. She whispered sadly, "You poor dear, may good things come your way." With this, she gathered the empty plates and medicine bottles. She quietly exited the room.
PS: Comet-san, I have a good feeling I can finally go out today. :) - Pink Songstress.
Author's Note: Been a while since I last wrote anything here. Well, here's the epilogue for my new story, Dear Comet. Hope you guys enjoy it! Sorry for any grammatical or spelling errors.
Strike: Kira's Gundam in GS before Freedom
Aegis: The Gundam that Athrun stole and used in GS
Impulse: Shinn's first Gundam in GSD
Hence, they are called the Gundams...lol. Also, their fanbase is called Pilots. I was toying with the idea of me working as an assistant manager for B2ST, my favorite artists and this just popped out. Can you guess who the girl with Hannah is? Hehe. Stay tuned for chapter one. Reviews are loved!
