"All done!" Kyouko said pleased with herself. The room, she was told to clean, was a large room with a kitchen area and a living room area. The kitchen's stove was covered with pasta sauce and chocolate. Apparently the young rising stars, a co-ed group of singers, guitarist, drummer, and other band member, tried to cook lunch because of a stupid bet. Needless to say, the cooks lost the bet badly. In the end after the disaster was over, the band had to leave before any clean-up was attempted. So, the job fell on the only LoveMe member available, Kyouko Mogami.

"Well done," the one who hired Kyouko said as she gave her a 100 points stamp for a job well done. "If I need anything, I'll make sure to call on you. You really did a fantastic job."

"It was nothing," Kyouko said bashfully. "Thank you for your guidance." Kyouko bowed and excused herself.

Kyouko's day was done earlier than normal. She didn't have any filming for Dark Moon or Box 'R' or appearing on Bridge Rock as Bou. It was also rare that she had no homework and the shop was closed because Okami and Taihsou were taking a well deserved one week vacation which Kyouko insisted that she could at least stay and house sit since they wouldn't allow her to run the restaurant by herself.

Kyouko started to leave LME's building when she saw her first and best friend, Kanae Kotonami aka Moko-san. "Moookoooooo-saaan," Kyouko screamed in excitement as she ran over to hug her friend.

"Mo! Would you stop that," Kanae yelled back embarrassed of the scene Kyouko was causing.

"But, Moko-san it's been a whole week since we saw each other," Kyouko replied tears gathering at the edge of her sad eyes "I thought that it was fate that I would run in to you today." Kyouko began to turn around and started to cry. "But apparently not."

"Mo! It's not something to cry about," Kanae said slightly flustered at a crying Kyouko. "Look," Kanae said softening her harsh tone. "If you don't have anything better to do, why don't we go window shopping and maybe get some ice-cream at that one store." Kanae acted like she offer the trip on a whim instead of planning it out days in advance which is what she actually did.

"Window shopping and getting ice-cream with Moko-san," Kyouko said her eyes lighting up with joy and excitement. "I can now die happy knowing that I was invited to go shopping and eat ice-cream with my best friend."

"Well, do you want to or not," Kanae spoke trying to get Kyouko out of Lala mode.

"Of course, I would love to go with you," Kyouko replied instantly making her intentions to go crystal clear.

The pair of friends wondered the streets looking at all the cute dresses, beautiful gowns, and wonderful other clothing. "Moko-san, this dress would completely wonderful on you," Kyouko said pointing to a silk evening gown.

"You really think so," Kanae said looking at the elegant dress deciding if it would or not suit her.

"Nooooooooooooooooo! Moko-san," Kyouko cried trying to employ tactic for the 100th time. "You're supposed to say 'No, I think it would look better on you.'"

"How many times do times do I have to tell you. I'm not going to play any part of your fantasies."

Kyouko sighed. "I can always try."

"Mo!" Kanae said as she sighed for the 10th time that day. "I have to go to the restroom. You wait here."

"Okay," Kyouko responded somewhat sad as she watched as her friend walked away.

"Kyouko-san," a girl, completely covered in black clothing from her hair tie to the black boot on her feet, said as she approached the star. The girl had blonde hair with stunning green eyes, and her Japanese was a little rough with a foreign accent. "You're Kyouko from Dark Moon and Box 'R', right?"

"Ye….yes," Kyouko said slightly hesitantly at the stranger.

"I'm a fan of yours," the girl cried excitedly. "It's really lucky I met you. After all, I have a gift for you."

"For me?" Kyouko said completely shocked. "It can't be! I'm just a no name new comer who only just started to be consider human much less a star." Kyouko began to gush out a murderous intent as she thought about her non-human life before acting.

The girl laughed at Kyouko change in mood. "I know it's not much, but it is a stone that will make your deepest desire come true." The girl unwrapped a crystal from a cloth that was protecting the magical stone. The stone was jagged around the edges looking like a rough diamond. The strange crystal had a signal black spot in the middle surrounded by a clear outside. "Please accept this small token of my gratitude."

Kyouko cautiously took the stone. As she touched the crystal, the black spot in the middle became bigger and bigger eventually engulfing the entire stone in blackness. Kyouko continued to watch the display of magic before her eyes until the crystal cracked breaking apart in her hand. Kyouko looked up to ask the fan what the hell just happened, but the girl was nowhere to be found. Kyouko turned her attention back to the cracked stone. But the stone was gone, and only a black dust was left in her palm. The dust soon fled from Kyouko's hand leaving Kyouko wondering if that really just happened or if it was just a weird dream.

"Mo!" Kanae said as she approached her friend scaring Kyouko speechless. "What are you so spaced out about? A celebrity should not be in a daze!"

"It's nothing," Kyouko replied "Just my imagination playing tricks on me."

"Well, let's go get some ice-cream," Kanae said bring Kyouko back into her extremely happy mode.

LATER

"That was so much fun," Kyouko exclaimed to herself as she walked up the stairs to her bedroom. "Hanging out with Moko-san is absolutely the best! Now, I can die absolutely happy."

Kyouko quickly changed into her pajamas and got into her bed. She closed her eyes dreaming of spending more time with Kanae completely forgetting about the strange fan and the disappearing stone.

MEANWHILE

Ren sighed to himself as he stepped into his empty apartment. 'I need a drink,' Ren thought grabbing a bottle of water from the refrigerator. He opened the bottle and took a long sip of the cold refreshing liquid. He took the bottle back to his bedroom glancing at the clock. '11 o'clock,' Ren thought. 'I should go ahead and take a shower.' Sleeping-in seemed like a good idea and was rarely a choice.

Ren stepped out of his shower towel drying his hair. He quickly slipped on his pajama's bottom and the button up top. He was completely exhausted. The day was too long, and worse was the fact that he had not seen Kyouko at all. But, Ren smiled gently, he would see her tomorrow. Dark moon was shooting scenes with Katsuki and Mio. Ren crawled into his oversized bed knowing that tomorrow would infinitely better.
