A/N: It seems I'm back! Well... my laptop has been fixed, after all... this is another fanfiction about The Princess & the Popstar, and contains strong language. Yes, people, it does. After all, a 35 year-old man that doesn't swear would be rather odd, don't you think? Even though this is mostly about Keira and Crider, it's not specifically romance; just a multi-chapter fanfic telling EVERYTHING the movie didn't say, but in my own way.


1. The Girl

He supposed he should've been grateful to Limburger for changing once again the person he would've been the manager of, though that retarded man a bit older than him and his brother wearing that ridiculous pig costume all the time had forgotten to give him back those 40 dollars he had made the mistake of giving them. 40 damn dollars that he would've never seen again.

"Just brilliant" Crider thought, and kept walking, following Limburger until they reached a violet-painted trailer with a huge golden star above its door. He snorted "Can you please tell me which freak I'll have to deal with this time?"

"Just keep your mouth shut, Crider" Limburger hissed. He had never liked him, he was just a plain failure and he should've been a little more respectful to him, after all he had given him a job. A very good job not many people were lucky enough to have... but it seemed like Crider didn't see the whole thing that way. Instead, he complained all the time, like a little boy who had lost his favorite toy.

Mr. Limburger knocked at the door, and a female voice came from inside. A young female voice Crider was convinced he had heard before quite a few times, though he couldn't remember why, where or when he did.

"Who's that?"

"It's Mr. Limburger, open this door" Crider's boss answered, and it wasn't long before that way too familiar voice was heard again

"Sorry, too busy to do it. Just tell me what's going on out there"

The boss of the girl's record company clenched his teeth to contain his anger. Limburger grabbed Crider by his arm with force, opened that door and pushed him inside the trailer without even telling him who that female was, then slammed the door behind him.

"Son of a bitch" Crider muttered, then lifted his gaze and noticed a purple haired girl and a pair of big violet-ish blue eyes looking at him with confusion. The girl rolled her eyes and let herself fall on her chair again in a very careless way, snorting.

Crider finally remembered who that was. The young, world-famous popstar Keira, a girl he had seen way too many times at the tv, for the most various reasons. He had to admit he had been quite jealous of her, being a star at 17 years old and having everything she ever dreamed of. He had been a star until he turned 14, and then his career had ended miserably just for a tiny mistake on a fucking note.

"So... you're my new manager, aren't you? Limburger had told me I would've changed it, and honestly, I'm okay with that. At least I won't have to deal with that hysterical woman anymore" the young girl said "You seem a lot better than her, though I need to ask..." she glanced skeptically at his clothes "...why do you dress this way?" she pointed at them, a hint of dislike in her voice

Crider looked down at his animal print jacket, his yellow tie, and all those other colorful things he was wearing that day, then looked up at Keira again "I like them" he said dryly, and analysed how the girl's expression changed every second that passed. Quite an unusual young female, he had to admit. He had never seen a person that young behaving like a grown-up woman.

Keira smirked; she didn't expect that man around 35 years old to say something like that. Well, at least his clothes were the only weird thing about him. She stood up again, now looking directly into his eyes "Seriously?"

"Everyone has his own sense of fashion, am I right?" Crider chuckled

The little popstar started to laugh "Yeah, I guess so" she calmed herself, taking a deep breath to start speaking again "Anyways, what's your name? I guess you already know mine... it's Keira"

"Enchanté, Keira" he playfully bowed to her, making her giggle amused. Looks like this time Limburger had chosen the right manager for a girl like her. "The name's Crider"


A/N: And this was chapter 1! Chapter 2 shall be up tomorrow!
