Akane and her friend Sayuri stood peering down the window of their classroom. They were watching the mob of students down at the school grounds preparing booths for the upcoming Club Week.

"This is sooo exciting!", Sayuri squealed. "I'm going to try out for the Cooking Club this year. What about you, Akane?"

"The Cooking Club? What a coincidence! I want to join that club, too!" Akane replied happily.

Some of their classmates glanced at them in fear. Sayuri sweatdropped. She'd heard a lot of Akane's cooking. She'd heard it can kill a horse. (No pun intended hehehe!)

"Umm… I thought you wanted to join the Drama Club?"

Akane shrugged sadly. "They only invite in neophytes, remember? It's not like I'm THAT good to be invited in. I do want to be in the Drama club, though."

"Drive…Humility… I like that…" Sayuri murmured speculatively. She glanced at Akane again. Then she clapped her hands happily. Akane glanced at her as if she was losing her mind. "Well, Akane Tendo, this is your day!" Sayuri said grandly.

She stepped back suddenly. Stage smoke enveloped Sayuri as Akane watched in amazement. And when it all cleared, a boy stood in place of Sayuri.

Silence reigned for a good one minute…

…and then everything went to hell.

"Miyoga Hiro!" somebody murmured reverently. A girl squealed and then fainted.

"Is it true? I want his autograph!"

"He's so CUTE!"

"Stop it! He's mine!"

The guys sniffed in disdain as the girls scrambled to get pens and papers for an autograph. Akane watched all this in amazement, especially the stranger who stood before her. The stranger seemed to preen amidst all the attention. He smoothed back his gelled up black hair and straightened his flashy coat. His green eyes roved the adoring crowd and picked up a girl which he winked at. The girl promptly fainted.

Akane harrumphed.

"What…? Oh, right…" the stranger said. He faced Akane again and fixed his gaze at her.

"I'm Miyoga Hiro, the president of the Drama Club. And I've come to invite you to join us."

Akane's eyes bugged out and she made noises as if she was strangling. She pinched herself and gulped.

"Oh, my," she said in a small voice…And then she fainted on her feet.
