Somewhere in Alley Drive…


After the Gang-Wave was produced and separated, for the moment, Steven Cooke, in his green shirt and jeans, was forlorn. Kandy Potter, his girlfriend from Argos, the robot, had to return to Argos to help her fellow Gang-Wave members and Heroes, Kenji Harima, Miranda Maynard, and Nick Haskett. It lasted about six months, as he waited for her. Since then, things changed…
Farra Stevens was pregnant with child, for six months…
Asahi Sakurai joined The Gang…
Cecelia Cooke, his sister, found a hot boyfriend…
Joanna Stevens and Michelle Nevins suddenly started dating (This is NO joke! Michelle became a lesbian, too; more on a later date)…
and The Gang was busy getting ready for a London gig, during their upcoming 2013 World Tour.


He was upset that he had to go to London, but the others were busy. In his upset mood, he was lying by the table, all upset. Steven Cooke was completely sad.

Until…

KNOCK! KNOCK!

He got up and approached the door. He opened it and saw a woman with white hair, amber eyes, a blue blouse and black winter jacket, a dark blue skirt, and slim legs. She looked human.

"Sexy Steven…" She replied.

Steven said, "Hello, Miss. Who are you? You know, you reminded me of my girlfriend… since she's in England, helping Miranda… Maynard…"

She winked, "Fooled you, didn't I? I miss you, Steven Cooke…"

Steven barked, "Look! Steven Cooke needs NO groupies! Now why don't you go home?"

The girl yelled, "OH! You bite your tongue, Sexy Steven!"

"And would you stop calling me… Sexy… Steven?"

He gasped, as he recognized her, "Kandy? Is that you?"

Kandy smiled, as she blushed, "Sorry… I guess I had you fooled… since Daddy upgraded me."

He grabbed her and lifted her up, twirling around, in joy.

"You're back! You're back, my Kandy!" He cried.

"OH! PUT ME DOWN!" She laughed, "You know I was exhausted!"

He put her down and said, "So… What brings you here, Kandy?"

Kandy said, "I'll explain later. Right now, can I be in your room? I need to recharge."

"But it's only 2PM."

She winked, "Exactly…"

She left, as he thought, "I wonder what she wanted…"

Asahi appeared, dressed in her canary yellow dress, with her black hair flowing, seeing Kandy walk by. She asked her, "Hey, Steven, who's that?"

Steven blushed, "That's… Well, she's my girlfriend."

Asahi smiled, "Oh. I see. So, she's Kandy the android?"

He nodded, "Like her, huh? I'll introduce you to her, later."

He left, as Asahi thought to herself, "Huh. I always thought she'd be like Seina, except she is more of an obsessed freak, as her."

This was the start of a new day for Steven… and his relationship has been shimmering in joy… but for the next two weeks, his love with the robot girl is taking a 270-degree turn.


The Gang in:
Wolf in London's Way (Part 1)


That night, when Kandy was fully charged, she and Steven made out in bed, as their clothes were strewn about. It means that they finally went all the way… but without the others to be there, hearing it.

Kandy, under the covers, said, "Now… Was it wonderful? That was my first time. I figured I'd charge up, before you sleep, and then we have a go. Now…"

She blushed and hugged him, by his bare chest, "Sexy Steven… I love you… I miss you so…"

Steven said, "Well, Steven Cooke is happy you're back, since Miranda had to fight a dragon. I mean, that's amazing of you to date me, and help slay a huge dragon. You're amazing."

Kandy whispered, "Not as amazing as the sex we had. I mean, I was nervous, since I missed you, and I feel that I figure we do it, just this once. And well, we totally love each other, without any sort of interruption."

Steven said, "Yeah. Steven Cooke is glad you're back."

He hugged her and started to kiss again. Kandy held his body and rubbed his back. As they continued to make out, a knock on the door was made. A voice called out, from behind the door.

"Steven? You okay in there?" Asahi called out.

Steven said, "I'm fine! Go to sleep, Sakurai!"

Asahi said, "Alright. I don't mind your nightly, uh… private moment… Just be quiet, while I need some sleep. Good night."

Steven thought, "No common sense, whatsoever…"

Kandy smiled, "Cute girl. I wonder who she is."

He said to her, "How about another round, since I haven't tire myself out?"

She blushed, "My battery is at 75%. Okay. Once I tire out, we stop. Okay? But that's it."

He smiled, as they kissed again, going under the covers.

The next morning, Steven and Kandy sat together on the couch, in their clothes, and waited for news from Asahi, who was coming in the front room. She then said, "Okay, since Percival and the others are not here, I will be giving the orders here. Okay… uh… We have to go to a gig, for our World Tour. However, the gig we have isn't until next week. We're just making adjustments for the show. And since The Gang is a no-show, I called in a favor from one of our Gang-Wave members for help."

Steven said, "Say no more. We have Kandy to help."

Kandy bowed, "I'm grateful to help, Miss… uh… Asahi, right?"

Asahi blushed, "Uh, yeah… But I…"

Steven said to her, "Asahi, I want to introduce you to my girlfriend, Kandy Potter."

He then introduced her to Asahi, "Kandy, this is Asahi Sakurai, the newest member of The Gang."

Kandy smiled, "Oh, right! You're THE Miss Asahi Sakurai I've heard about on the World News! You're wicked famous!"

Asahi smiled and said, "Oh, thanks. So… What are you, an android or something?"

Steven said, "She's a robot. But surprised to see that she has flesh legs, rather than gold chrome."

Kandy replied, "Well, Daddy had just got more material for my legs. Now, everything metal is hidden. I'm like a real girl, now."

He said, "And she's hanging with me now, since she returned from her quest. She's one of the Royal Heroes of Argos, and she slayed a dragon."

Kandy thought, as she was a bit peeved, "No, Sexy Steven… Miss Miranda slayed the dragon… I couldn't recall, but I was powered down… or was it a dream?"

He said, "But, in any case, she's back and she's here to stay, for a while."

Kandy smiled, "Sexy Steven…"

Asahi asked, "Sexy Steven?! Is that your pet name?"

He blushed, "It's almost like Hot Percival that Mayura used. In any case, she'll be great help to join the preparations."

Asahi said, "Well, actually, no. Kandy can come, and yes, she can help, but… I had to pick someone, and she said yes."

Steven asked, "Who was it?"

A girl appeared in brown hair and a blue dress and jeans. She blushed, as she saw Steven, "Oh, hi…"

And glared at Kandy, "And hello to you…"

She bowed at Asahi and said, "Thank you for calling me, Percival. I never knew you had a sexy voice. But my heart is for… well, no one, right now."

Steven griped, "SHIT! Why did you bring her?"

Asahi said, "She was Gang-Wave, or something! I asked her if she'd come, but she had to rush!"

Steven said, as he introduced the girl to Asahi, "I want you to meet Asahi Sakurai, Japanese Pop Idol and The Gang's newest member! Asahi… this is my ex-girlfriend, Seina Katsura."

Seina pouted, as she was shocked, "Ex?"

Asahi gasped, "Oh… You broke up with her?"

Seina sighed, "Long ago… After which, he ditched me. But now, we're here, as business partners, only for The Gang."

She smiled at Steven, "What do you say, Steven? Steven Cooke wants meet to help you…"

Steven glared at her, "Steven Cooke would rather be strangled by Farra and Joanna than be helping you! I told you that it's over between us! NSYNC has a snowball's chance to be back together, as much as us!"

Asahi asked, "Meaning?"

Kandy said, "It's never. Plus, Seina is dating Mister Asou."

Seina sobbed, "No… Not anymore… Asou…"

She wailed, "He hasn't returned my calls!"

She cried, as Asahi comforted her, "Oh, there, there… It'll be fine. Maybe he didn't want to date you, at the moment."

She asked Steven, "How did you break-up with her?"

Kandy said, "She was dared to date him, for 50 Yen, and was foolishly used. Sexy Steven shunned him and turned her down, every time. The Gang lost all respect for her. Luckily, he has me."

Asahi said, "Reminds me of Mizuki's troubles."

Kandy arm-hugged him and giggled. Asahi said, "Aw, it's okay, Seina. You'll find the right guy."

Seina continued to cry, as Asahi said, "Well, she'll come with, when she calms down. We have to go to London, via the Jet."

Kandy blushed and gasped, "London?"

Steven said, "Marvelous! Back to the Beatles country, for The Gang! Anarchy in the UK~!"

He cheered on, as Kandy was lost in thought and romance, "London… That's where he'll be… Oh, Jamie… It'll be great to see you again, possibly. I do wish you haven't died, yet. Werewolves are considered dangerous, you know."

Kandy said, "Will it be enough for four?"

Asahi said, "It's fine. The jet will be ready by tomorrow. For now, I can hang with Seina. You go back to what you were doing."

Steven and Kandy left, holding hands, as Asahi held Seina, crying on her shoulder.

That night, Steven and Kandy were getting ready for bed. Kandy said, "You know… London is not a good way for me, Steven… Do you remember?"

He said, "Oh, right. I forgot. Your crush was a wolf… literally speaking."

"Yes. And I am worried… What if Jamie is dead? What if a blue-furred timberwolf was hunted down and removed of his cloth and life? He's an endangered species!"

"Calm down, Kandy! There's just NO way. Werewolves are NOT real… and even if they were, Jamie can never die, unless shot by a silver bullet through the heart, by someone who loves him."

"AAH! Steven! Don't scare me! Why would you say that?"

"I'm saying. But silver bullets are illegal. Besides, no one would dare hurt your first crush…"

"You're right. In fact, if I ever see him again, I wanna say it to him…"

He hugged her and said, "It's okay. Tomorrow, you can see him, if he comes, but we have work to do."

She said, "I understand."

They laid down in bed together, as Kandy held Steven's hand. She clicked her eyes closed and fell asleep. Steven said, as he felt worried, "I'm just afraid you'll dump me… for a lycanthrope."

He believed that Kandy may break up with him. He fell asleep, after he held Kandy tight.

Meanwhile, outside the garage, a figure appeared by the jet and went inside. She giggled as she opened the door.

"Good thing I knew their combination," she said, "Go to England, without me, huh?"

Who was she, and how did she know about the trip?

(Asahi): And now, we return to "The Gang"…


On the day of the preparation of their World Tour, The Gang's jet flew into London, landing by a small street. The jet was parked by the airport, as the policemen made clearance on the jet, making sure that it is parked in a private runway. As the plane stopped, Asahi, Steven, Kandy, and Seina leave the jet, heading down the stairs, while the crowd cheered for Steven Cooke and Asahi Sakurai.

Kandy said, "Wow… I never knew that Sexy Steven was popular."

Seina replied, "Yeah. But Asahi, before she joined, had OOMPH!"

Kandy asked, "Please describe OOMPH."

The policemen entered the jet, making sure it is safe.

Steven called to them, "Be careful in there. It's just the band's extra stuff!"

Asahi said, "My first trip to London, England. I hope to sing a Beatles song, too."

Steven said, "Good enough. An amazing trip back here. You know, this was where I first met Kandy Potter."

Asahi asked, "No kidding?"

"No kidding. It was where Gang-Wave was born."

"Oh. And Michelle Nevins led the group. How are they doing now?"

"Busy. But they are still biting in the ear for their own spin-off. We have about 20 members, not counting Kandy!"

"Whoa… It must be like a collaboration group."

"It's just a pet project of Percival's, when he left The Gang."

A policeman called out, as he stepped out of the jet, "Um, sir? There seemed to be some extra baggage on the jet."

Steven said, "Well, where is it? We only packed our clothes."

The bobby held up a woman with short black hair and a mauve shirt. He replied, "I'm sorry. But she was the extra baggage. Is she a stowaway?"

Steven gasped and said calmly, "No… She's with me."

The girl was Cecelia Cooke, Steven's sister. She smiled nervously, "Hi, Big Brother."

The bobby asked, "Shall we arrest her for stowing away in your jet, sir?"

Cecelia cried, "NO! NOT AGAIN! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO JAIL!"

Steven said, "Let her go. I'll watch over her."

"See that you do."

She fell, as the police left, holding off the screaming fans. She jeered, as she held her face, "Ow! Stupid wankers! Do you know who I am?"

Steven asked her in anger, "What the hell are you doing here?"

Cecelia barked, "Well, just so you know, I don't want to be in the US, after my mom had scolded me, time and time again! I'm not a child, anymore! I'm a celebrity!"

Kandy said, "You're not… C.C."

Asahi asked, "Huh? C.C.?"

Steven said, "Oh, right. You haven't met her."

Kandy said, "I met her, when we were at the Courthouse."

Seina said, "She's too cute."

He introduced Cecelia to the girls, "Guys, I know you haven't met her. This is Cecelia Cooke, my little sister. We usually call her "C.C.". Sis, I know you met Kandy, my girlfriend… I want you to meet my ex-girlfriend, Seina Katsura, and The Gang's latest member, Asahi Sakurai."

Seina and Asahi bowed, "Nice to meet you, C.C."

Cecelia bowed back, "It's nice to meet you two, in person."

She blushed at Asahi and said, "Awesome… I never knew you were real. She's the girl that Mizuki kept rambling on about, from this Taishi loser."

Asahi asked, "You know of me?"

Cecelia said, "Well, no…"

She stuck her tongue out and said, "Welcome to The Gang, newbie."

Asahi huffed, "Hazing a new member… How chestnut."

Seina asked, "Uh, why is she called C.C.? What's the other C stand for?"

Cecelia replied, "It stands for Frye. It was just C.C., short for Cecelia, but… well, Mom wanted me to be called Cecelia Crye Cooke, but her cursive was messed up. Of course, C.C. means Cecelia Cooke. ME!"

She smugly laughed, "But now, I am a proud former celeb, about to shine on big, in the UK!"

Steven said to the girls, "Did I forget that she was in jail, long ago, for impersonating Farra?"

Kandy gasped, "OH! I didn't know…"

Seina said, "You too, huh? I'm an obsessed Steven Cooke fan, while you hate Farra Stevens."

Cecelia said, "Well, times had changed. I wanted to change myself, after Steven visited me for Christmas, recently."

She sadly stated, "Mom grounded me, again, today… I'm 24 years old! I have a right to be my own person! So, I snuck out."

Steven said, "Listen, since you're here, how about you help Seina and Kandy with the stage setting-up?"

Cecelia asked, "You mean… like a job?"

She smiled and said, "Okay… But just so you know, I don't work well, especially with a gynoid, a pervert, and a morning sun."

Asahi means "Morning Sun" in Japanese.

Steven said, "Just help the girls. I'll book us in a hotel, for the night."

He left, as Seina held her tight, "Oh, what a good friend!"

Cecelia moaned, "Why me?"

As the girls were leaving together, a figure with a rifle was in the crowd. He held up a picture of Kandy Potter and said that it's not the right time. What could it mean? Is this guy after Kandy?

XXXXX

At a hotel, Seina, Asahi, and Cecelia were hanging in a hotel room, together, while Steven and Kandy shared a room, next door. Cecelia grew worried, as she saw Steven being unhappy, without Kandy, back then.

"You know, on Christmas, he told me that Kandy was gone," she said, "He said to Mom and Dad that they should've met her. Who knew she fell in love with a real-life android, who once had a movie career."

Asahi said, "I'm new here, and I never knew about it. I think it's… Well… What's the word?"

Seina and Cecelia asked, "Weird?"

Asahi smiled, "Yeah, that's it. But, I don't know… I am happy for Steven Cooke to be dating a robot, but I feel that it is uncomfortable."

Cecelia said, as she laid out a plate of cookies, "I know what you mean. Joanna, my former crush, is frightened by robots, and then berates that they cannot have kids, which offends her."

She took a cookie and said, "I personally hate robots, because of those motives about a robot race, exterminating humans. Can you imagine if Steven Cooke took over the world, as the sole human, with a population of robot women, just like Kandy?"

Seina sighed, "It was just a movie. But incidentally, why on earth would you say that? All robots go by the code of Obey, Preserve, and Protect."

Asahi replied, "Well, I still find it creepy. He needed closure from this, and start dating some who is real. Most people I know think that robot-human love is downright scary."

Cecelia snuffed, "Phooey! They are a bunch of losers, if you ask me. After the Christmas visit, Steven Cooke was a changed man. Not once, he called me a jailbird. He suddenly had a compassionate heart. Grandpa Byron was amazed, but he called him Shitface. And he suddenly ignored that remark. That loser of a brother of mine! He's suddenly like that, since his robot girlfriend left to fight a stupid dragon, with the great Miranda Maynard (if you call her great)!"

Asahi smiled, "He's not so arrogant, anymore."

Seina pouted, "It won't last… He's still an arrogant hunk."

"Face facts, loser!" Cecelia glared, as she took a bite of a cookie, "You had your chance to have my brother, and you blew it. He hates you, almost as much as Percival Gaynes, your first ex."

Asahi sighed, "I see… I never had a date, unless that time in the amusement park, before my visit to Comic Party. At the time Steven changed, I was in New York, being accustomed to the new lifestyle."

She smiled, "Although… I hope they never break up and be sad…"

Seina shouted, "You wrecker! I want him back!"

She snatched a cookie and sobbed, as she ate it, "I SO want him back!"

Cecelia huffed, "You and your break-up snacks… That was my cookie!"

In the other room, Kandy overheard the commotion, while in her blue nightgown. She thought, "Those three… London is the last place I wanna be… I am desperate to see him, but… This is only for a chat, not love."

Steven asked, as he was in bed, "Hey, Kan-Kan. Come to bed. Steven Cooke loves to make out with you, at 80%."

Kandy sighed, as she smiled, "Okay. I'm sorry, Sexy Steven. I feel like… Well, will I ever see him?"

Steven said, "Maybe. Hopefully, he'll arrive, during our show. Maybe you'll get the chance to talk to him. After all, he was your penpal and fan from here."

Kandy got in bed, as she replied, "You're right, Steven… It must be tough to see old friends."

Steven nodded, "Of course. Steven Cooke knows how to reel the friends in, since the fans like me and the rest."

He kissed her, as he responded, "Kandy, promise me to never leave me, even if this Jamie is so special to you. You're my girlfriend, and we have been together, since you left, and after Michelle suddenly returned to England."

Kandy asked, "Oh, yeah… How is my leader?"

Steven turned to the 4th wall and was smugly uneasy. He turned to Kandy and replied, "You don't want to know. It's something you and Seina wouldn't understand."

She smiled, "Oh, alright, then. Now, kiss me, baby…"

They kissed again, as they turned out the lights.

In the other room, by Steven and Kandy's, the others went to bed, as Cecelia heard the commotion.

She grumbled, "He's good enough to be a fiancé to a robot…"

She covered herself with her blanket, as she groaned, "Why did I come? They're so noisy… Oh, Gordon, please wait for me, I'm so lonely, away from you."

Seina was crying in her sleep, hearing the couple, making love. She sobbed, "Steven… Aw, why?"

The next morning, in Hyde Park, Steven and Kandy were walking together, enjoying the scenery. Kandy said, "So… England hasn't changed much, since the Olympics, last summer."

Steven replied, "Yeah. The Gang was performing, while we started watching the events."

Kandy said, "Miranda found it enjoyable, since we saw some events worthwhile. Shame that China and the USA had the show stolen."

Steven replied, "That's sports for you."

They approached a vendor, with a fish on top of the cart.

Kandy asked, "So… You want to have fish and chips? It's a great cuisine here."

He said, "Sure. I don't mind fries and fish filets."

Kandy then went by the vendor, with a boy ordering his food.

She asked, in a British accent, "Excuse me, guvnor. My boyfriend and I would like to share some of your ripping fish and chips, please."

The vendor nodded and replied, "Coming up, doll."

Kandy smiled and said, "At least my British accent has improved."

A boy with dark hair, a red plaid shirt, and tan jeans was by Kandy, as he saw her. He thought, "She looked familiar."

He asked, "Miss, you seemed to speak like a lady, here. Not from around here?"

Kandy blushed and saw him, "Oh. Forgive me, sire. I never expected-."

She gasped, as she looked at his eyes, "Uh… Uh…"

She shivered and shook, while rattling a bit. He said, "I recognize that metallic sound."

He held Kandy and asked, looking at her amber eyes, "Kandy?"

Kandy was shocked, as her eyes started to swell in tears, "Jamie? Is that you?"

He smiled and shouted, "It's you! Kandy Potter!"

They hugged, as they spun around, together, in happiness. The fish and chips vendor was not amused, as he held up two plates of fish and chips.

Jamie smiled, "You're a sight for sore eyes! How are you?"

Kandy said, "It's wonderful. I mean… well…"

She grew nervous, as they were about to kiss.

"Uh, sir, if you're done playing with your friend, your food is ready." He snuffed.

They stepped away, as they blush in awkwardness. They stammered incoherently, as they were embarrassed.

Steven appeared and asked, "Hey, Kandy. What took you so long?"

He gasped and saw Jamie. He asked, "Uh… Who's he?"

Kandy blushed, "This is Jamie… My crush from London."

Jamie smiled and shook his hand, "Ah, hello there, sir. Nice to meet you. You must be Kandy's friend from Argos."

Steven groaned, "No. I am her boyfriend from America."

Jamie gasped, "Boyfriend?!"

Kandy pleaded, "Please, let me explain…"

XXXXX

They sat together, in a picnic table, as Jamie was concerned about Kandy. She told him all about how she and Steven first met, including Steven's sudden change of attitude.

Jamie smiled and responded, "Well, that's a first. Thanks for watching over Kandy, Mister Cooke."

Steven said, "Thanks. And, hey, call me Steven."

Jamie asked, "So, what brings you two here to London?"

Steven explained, "Well, we have a gig coming up, down in London, by Buckingham Palace. We have a stage set up, and everything. Steven Cooke came with Kandy, along with my sister, Cecelia, my ex-girlfriend, Seina, and my bandmate, Asahi."

"Ex?" Jamie asked bluntly.

Kandy said, "It's a long story… She was so obsessed, after she loved him."

Steven added, "And she and I drifted apart… for good. No one lies to me or makes a bet of 50 Yen to date me. No one!"

He stated, "But that's life. Steven Cooke now wants your crush, and not Seina."

Jamie said, "I see. Women are such interesting people."

Steven huffed, "You should see Mayura. She's what you call a worshipper, in a bad way."

Kandy whispered to him about Mayura, including her nickname. Jamie said, in disgust, "Ew… She's one of those bad eggs."

Kandy nodded, "And she never had a chance to date him."

Jamie replied, "My word… She's a swell little tart."

Steven asked him, "Would you like to come with? We have the stage set up, for next week. Would they be surprised by you, a real life werewolf."

Kandy scolded, "Steven! Not in front of company, and in the park!"

Jamie smiled, "I suppose so. I am glad to see you here, since you're dating her."

He asked, "But seriously, she can ditch the flesh-suit, since I know she's a robot."

Kandy griped, "WHAT flesh-suit? This is my new skin. When you left, Daddy created a substance that simulates human skin, just for me to be lifelike. However, he only had enough for my head, chest, arms, back, abdomen, hip… and my breasts, too. Ahem… But after Miss Miranda fought a mysterious dragon, I had the call from Daddy to come back, since he has made more. And so…"

She showed her legs, "No more golden robot knight. I'm simply a cute robot girl, with a human disposition."

She blushed, as she felt scorned, "I'm such a bad girl… Seriously, I'm not saying it, out of flirtatious context."

Jamie said, as he felt her arm, "You are so beautiful. You look and feel real."

He hugged her and said, as her body was ticking, "You're so warm. And you even still have a heart. It's like she's a clockwork knight."

Steven replied, "Really? I never knew she tick… She's not a Quartz robot."

Kandy huffed, "Oh, Sexy Steven… Honestly, I'm no wristwatch!"

He got up and said to Jamie, "What do you say we see the others? You'd be surprised to see the rest."

Jamie giggled, "You're good, Steven. But will they hate me?"

Steven smiled, "Hey, I'm natural. Besides, the girls will believe me."

They laughed together, as Kandy grew worried. "I have a bad feeling about this…"

She was right. As they left Hyde Park, a figure appeared, holding his rifle. He was a tall man with a cyan shirt and blue overalls. He had a trucker's hat that said "Pelts are swellts."

Yes, it's one of those custom-made hats.

He spoke in a Scouse accent, "Dear me. He came back, after he terrorized me home. Once the full moon rises, I can get him, right where I want him."

He continued to tail Steven, Kandy, and Jamie, and thought, "You, the girl with the werewolf… forgive me for doing this, but he's a dangerous being."

At the stage, Seina was preparing the decorations, as Asahi was reading a magazine. Cecelia grunted, as she carried a heavy bass drum in. She moaned at Asahi, "You know… You should've helped."

Asahi bowed, "Sorry… I'm in the band. And also, my workers and teamsters fix my show, back before I joined."

C.C. snuffed, "Lazy."

Steven sang "For the Longest Time" by Billy Joel, as he was walking with Kandy and Jamie. They were headed to the area where Cecelia is. Kandy was blushing, as she said that it was made for her.

She sighed, "Oh, boy… Here comes the Freak Patrol."

Steven called, "Hey, Sis!"

Jamie said, "Nice stage."

Kandy giggled, "He has such a voice."

Asahi asked, as she got up, "Hey. You're in a rush. I thought-."

She gasped and saw Jamie. She blushed, as she whispered, "Hot…"

Jamie said, "Are these your friends?"

Kandy nodded, "Oh, yes. These are my friends from America; except for Miss Asahi and Miss Seina, they're from Japan."

Steven introduced Jamie to the girls, "Jamie, meet my friends, who are thoughtful enough to help us. This is my sister, Cecelia. We call her "C.C."."

Jamie smiled, "Nice to meet you."

Cecelia snubbed at him, "Charmed, I'll bet."

Steven huffed, "Be nice."

Cecelia pouted and shook his hand, "Nice to see you."

Steven then said, "And this is my ex, Seina Katsura."

Seina nervously smiled, "Hello…"

Jamie said, "So, you're the girl that was obsessed over Steven Cooke."

Seina turned away. Jamie said, as he extended his hand, "Please, don't be shy. It's great to see you."

Steven then said, "And by the stage, this is Asahi Sakurai, a friend of mine from Japan… well, Mizuki's friend."

Asahi said nothing. She was blushed in a rose red look, in her cheeks. Jamie said, "Oh, you're one of The Gang's members?"

Asahi blushed and smiled. Steven said, "She is joining our group, since Farra's pregnant."

Jamie said, "So, you think I can help you?"

Seina blushed, "Sure. Help me with these pink streamers. I couldn't reach up top."

He smiled and went on stage. He replied, "Sure. I'll give you a boost."

As they left, Asahi followed them, as Cecelia spoke with Steven.

"So… He's the lycanthrope I've heard about?" She retorted, "He doesn't look like a wolf."

Kandy bowed, "Sorry. It's broad daylight, and the full moon isn't for another three days. He's happy to be with me."

Cecelia ranted, "I was talking to him!"

Kandy scolded, "You should've said so, C.C.!"

Steven remarked, "God willing that he doesn't cause problems. Kandy thought he might be dead."

Kandy was sad, "Well… After we met, from a note from London, Jamie left me, after he was a wolf. But… I'll never forget how we kiss."

Steven gasped, "You kissed?"

She replied, "It was before I met you. Of course, I enjoyed it, but I was nervous, since he knew I was a robot. I nearly shorted out, after being mortified by the truth. I guess freaks like us are often with feelings."

Cecelia yelled, "Well, I don't believe it, one bit, you loser!"

Kandy sighed, "And you hate me, because I'm dating Sexy Steven. You're such a meanie!"

Cecelia left, as she scoffed, "HMPH!"

Steven sighed in embarrassment, as Kandy huffed, "What the hell's wrong with her? She hates me, because I love you."

Steven replied, "No. It's something else."

They were about to go on the stage, as Jamie had Seina up on his shoulders. She reached for the top, hanging a long strand of pink streamer. But then…

BANG!

A bullet shot at Seina. It missed, but she fell to the ground, hitting her butt. She moaned, "Ow… What was that?"

Kandy gasped, "A gunshot?"

A voice cried out, "HEY! There you are, you freak of nature!"

Steven asked, "Who was that?"

Jamie cringed, "Oh, no… Not again…"

He pleaded, "He's back. Quick! Hide me!"

Asahi said, "This way. We'll hide backstage, by the tent."

Jamie giggled, "Thanks. You're a sweet thing."

Cecelia ran to the stage and asked, "What's going on?"

Jamie replied, "It's him… He's after me."

Kandy sobbed, "Jamie… Who's after you?"

Asahi pleaded, "No time! Come with me!"

They ran off, as Steven said, "Right. I'll distract him."

The tall man appeared, as Asahi and Jamie hid from him. He held his rifle and called, "Alright, where's the beast?"

Kandy shouted, "WHO ARE YOU? WHY DO YOU WANT JAMIE?"

Cecelia barked, "Hey, loser! How dare you invade our stage, before show-time!"

He replied, "Excuse me, luv. But I was hunting down a rare blue timberwolf. Or for that matter, I'm hunting a rare kind of wolf."

Seina said, "A werewolf, perhaps?"

Steven said, "You leave him alone! He meant you no harm."

Kandy pleaded, "Why would you want Jamie?"

The hunter said, "Well, I was intrigued about your sudden love with him. After you had your date, I tracked down the elusive wolf and fired at him, in Argos. Luckily, he scampered off and I never got a clean shot. It took me months to hunt him down, only to recognize his pre-transformation form."

Kandy panicked, "You were WHAT?"

The hunter said, "I have been tracking him down, for months. It isn't murder. It's clean hunting and game."

Cecelia scolded, "It's no game. Jamie is happy with his life! And that werewolf jazz is complete-!"

Seina interrupted, "Uh… C.C., Robot, Steven Honey, uh, hunter guy… If I may, we have a show to do, coming up. And you came by and fired at us."

She glared evilly at him and said, "If you leave now, with that cheap BB Gun knock-off, I will call the Police on you. You almost killed me, with your gun. You want Sun Magazine to expose you as a murderer?"

He shivered in fear, as Kandy trembled, "Whoa… She's mean."

He bowed and said, "Sorry. I didn't realize that if I missed, I'd hit you. My apologies. I could've sworn he'd run off."

He concluded, as he ran off, "But I must find him!"

He went past the stage and disappeared from a distance. Steven huffed, "Damn hunter."

He thought, as he smiled, "Good work, Asahi. He never found out."

Kandy asked, "What could he want?"

Seina smiled, "Who knows? I'm just glad I helped, for Steven Cooke."

Steven yelled at her, "I DIDN'T NEED YOUR HELP, MISS STONE COLD GLARE!"

Asahi was in a small tent with Jamie, after they hid from the hunter. She bowed and smiled, "We're fine. He's gone."

Jamie said, "It's cool. That guy has been after me, for quite some time. I have been traveling from all over England, trying to hide from that guy. He never leaves me alone."

Asahi replied, "True. It's like me, who is hounded by fans. The UK has been new to me."

He said, "That's right…"

She blushed, as she picked him up. She held him, as Jamie blushed. He then asked why she is holding him. She responded that she felt uneasy, but is unhappy.

"It's okay," he patted her head and said, "But, you know that you're not my type."

Asahi nodded, "That's okay. I'm not into a romantic endeavor, yet. But I wish I would…"

She blushed in a pink hue, as she responded, holding his hands, "And well… I believe you, since you are a werewolf… and… I… I am simply secure about myself."

He said, "I know. You have this lifestyle going?"

She replied, "All the time…"

She closed her eyes and approached him. He approached her, as he closed her eyes. She was about to kiss him, but Seina called to them.

"Asahi! Jamie! He's gone!" She called out, "We're going back to the hotel!"

They blushed and stammered a bit. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry… But I forget that you and with Kandy, who has Steven."

Jamie said, "Yes, I know."

He added, "But… I don't think I'll be able to date someone, as long as that creep is hunting me down."

She smiled, "We'll protect you. You and I will be okay, once we return to the hotel. But, here's a secret…"

She whispered to him about a disguise, in order to get back to the hotel.

At the hotel, Asahi and Jamie returned to the lobby. Jamie was wearing a hat and shades, with a blue blazer on. Asahi had a summer hat and her glasses on.

"This is like a sudden incognito move, huh?" He asked.

Asahi smiled, "Yeah. I do this, all the time, only with the glasses. I don't wear glasses, all the time. I usually wear contacts, during performances. Besides, it works, since the REAL Asahi Sakurai never wore glasses."

He said, "Oh, that's nice. You're like a super celebrity."

She smiled, "It's just a thing. Also, I hope I'll be famous, with The Gang, as much as… well… my own career. Japan will miss me, but I'll be back to going solo, real soon. But I'm still a star… of course, it's a lot of hard work."

They entered the elevator, as Asahi and Jamie were on their way to the sixth floor. As the elevator went up, Asahi pressed the Emergency STOP button on the elevator and was nervous.

"Why'd you stop?"

"Sorry… I guess I was too worried."

"You don't look nervous."

He stared at Asahi and blushed a bit. He then said, "I know you're not my type, since I like Kandy… but…"

Asahi blushed, as she remarked, "Well, Kandy is perfect for you. I don't approve of Steven dating her… since it's…"

She closed her eyes and whispered, "So… so… so… … …"

They started to kiss, in the elevator, as Jamie held his hand on her waist. It seems that our pop idol has fallen for the werewolf. But how will Kandy learn of this moment?

Asahi stopped and asked, as she was shocked, "Ah! Sorry… Forgive me… I, uh, well, I just…"

She started to become frantic, as Jamie calmed her down. He then replied, as she regained composure, "Let's not tell anybody about this, okay? We'll stay here, until we can go back to the room."

She smiled and nodded, "Yeah…"

They continued to make out, as they fell to the floor, caressing each other. How will Kandy and Steven learn of this, if they know?


Moments later, they returned to the room, as Asahi adjusted her red bow on her black hair. Cecelia then asked, as she was waiting for them, "Where have you been?"

Asahi said, "Sorry… I, uh… had to use the bathroom?"

Jamie replied, "No, actually, we just had a chat."

"Well… Okay." Cecelia replied, "But no funny stuff. Asahi Sakurai is #1 in Loserville's Romance Heart Band. She lacks common sense, and she's not a romantic type."

Asahi blushed, as Jamie said, "It's fine. You mind if I sleep here, tonight? No one knew it was me."

Cecelia smiled, "Sure. You can share a bed with Psycho PSeina. Sorry. I wanted to make something sensible."

Jamie nodded, "I suppose I will. Where's Kandy and Steven?"

Cecelia huffed, "Go to bed!"

He left, as Asahi waved to him, "Good night."

She then whispered, "My… Wolf-Heart…"

She went to the other bedroom, as Cecelia was confused. She then figured it out. She let out a sneer and grinned, "Oh… I get it, now… Wolf-Boy and Idol Girl are dating~. This is wonderful… Kandy will break her heart, if she found out…"

She thought, "But, if she and Big Brother found out, and they break up, Kandy will break down and become brokenhearted, having to see her first freaky crush cheat on her. Yes, I know it's not cheating, but Kandy still admires him. I only wish that nothing happens to Jamie, not after that loser is after him."

She then said, "And brother seemed happy with that fembot. But I hate it… since she freaks me out. But if I keep it a secret, it is no problem for all of us."

She then thought in confusion, "But… still… Asahi and Jamie?!"

Cecelia cared for Steven, since he was lonely for six months, after Kandy left. Rather than watch them implode, while laughing at it, for no good reason, she decided to let it stand and not tell on the couple about Asahi and Jamie's alleged romance.

She whispered, "I'm sorry, Asahi… Kandy… Jaime… Your secret is safe with me, even if it is true or not. But I still don't believe that Jamie is a werewolf!"

She went to bed, to where Asahi was, as Jamie overheard Cecelia's moment to herself.

He whispered, "It could be that she doesn't trust me… but she's happy to protect me, even though she kept a promise. She's just like when I first met Kandy…"

He knew that Cecelia knew, but she never figured it out. She thought it was silly, but after earlier, with Asahi and Jamie in the elevator, she was right. Jamie returned to the bedroom, to sleep with Seina.

The next morning, Asahi and Jamie were on the couch, in their room, as Cecelia and Seina were leaving for breakfast.

"You sure you two won't come?" Seina asked Asahi.

Asahi replied, "No, I am not. I figure that I needed to freshen up."

Jamie said, "I need to wait for Kandy to wake up, first. Then, we'll go."

Seina responded, "If you want, you can order room service, here."

Cecelia said, "Well… They can eat here, but we deserve to eat in luxury."

She whispered to Seina, "I'll explain later, just don't tell Kandy or my brother."

They leave the room, as Asahi said, "I wonder if they know something…"

Jamie got up and approached the door. He locked it, as he said, "Asahi, listen… I know we have met, but it seems that Cecelia knows something about us."

He explained about last night, "I have no idea what she said, but she thinks we're an idol couple. But it's impossible, since you and I are of two different worlds. You're a pop idol turned Gang member, with such heart, but lack romance, while I am a cursed being, who transform into a timberwolf, during a full moon, which is tomorrow!"

Asahi nodded and said, "I know… And that moment we had was wonderful; except, I feel guilty. Do you think we may have betrayed our friends, only for just one kiss?"

He replied, "Maybe… But, I love Kandy, and she's taken. But it'll be nice to see her."

She said, "We should keep it a secret, as long as Seina doesn't know. Neither does Steven and Kandy. But… would you stay together, after someone with a rifle is hunting you down?"

"I only have 24 hours to live. Of course, the moon isn't until tomorrow night. And that guy will come and shoot me down. If only we can stop him."

"I wish… I'm not… into… violence…"

She got up and demanded, "Kiss me… Do me…"

She was lost in romance and arousal, as Jamie was panicked. He asked, "Uh, Asahi? Why are you looking at me funny?"

Asahi blushed, "I never thought you'd be so hot. When I saw you, it was, like, someone is hotter than some of my fans who praise me and shower me with gifts. And with you, about to die, I wanted you to enjoy one more fling, before you die. It's like a music video that happened, when a man had 6 hours to live, and he had to write a list to complete everything. He died, after he did the final task."

He blushed, "Yeah, but-."

Asahi smiled and dragged Jamie into the bedroom, as she instructed, "Not all the way. I'm saving myself for marriage."

Jamie said, "You read my mind. But, will Kandy wake up and hear us?"

Asahi stated, "If she's up, she'll be fully charged. Even for Steven, she had no time for romance."

She and Jamie went inside, as they shut the door.

Meanwhile, at the room, next door, Kandy woke up, plugged in, while Steven Cooke was still sleeping. She unplugged herself and got up. She then grabbed a towel and said, "Sexy Steven. Sleep well, honey… I'm going to speak with Jamie, and hope we can get back together. I know it's tough, but with your brains, we can save him and get rid of that jerk, with that rifle."

She went to the bathroom and took a shower, humming "For the Longest Time". Steven was still asleep, as he tossed and turned a bit.

Elsewhere, the man was in his car, outside the hotel, waiting for the arrival of Jamie. He held up an article of a recent wolf attack:
"Rare Blue Wolf terrorizes Manchester"

He then held another pile of articles:
"Scotland becomes Werewolf Territory – 15 wounded and 2 dead from wolf attack"
"Somerset (Rumored) Wolf Spree leaves twenty dead"
"Bristol scared over Wolf Attack"
"72 innocent people mauled in Liverpool."

"That werewolf is a threat to England," he said, "He dates a famous English celebrity, the Heroic Kandy Potter, and he becomes a tabloid legend. He's no legend."

He reloaded the rifle and waited, "Jamie, if that's your real name, with these silver bullets, you will die, and I'll have you on my mantle."

He came prepared. The man who wants Jamie dead is still around, and it may disrupt our heroes' visit in England.


Will Jamie survive? Is there romance between him and Asahi? Will Kandy and Steven find out? And what will happen, if he shoots Jamie?
