"My greatest dream… Is about to come true!" Elysia looked out the window of the plane and tried not to squirm in her seat. Nettle Grasper! She was finally going to meet Sakuma-san! She could hardly breath.
Elysia was a singer. Others said she was great, wonderful, spunky, and talented. She thought of herself as a plain Jane. She had studied Japanese for eight years. Now it would be put to good use. She could just imagine Ryuichi. Standing there is his spiffy outfit. Glowing with greatness. Touma! She was also going to see the fabulous Touma! She turned in her seat to look back at two of her three band members. She let out a soft squeal that made them bolt upright in their seats.
"Ne? Elysia! What did we tell you about squealing in public? Not to mention aboard a plane." Her Guitarist and newest band member Toby snapped.
"I'm sorry" Elysia whimpered as she sunk into her seat. "I'm just so excited. Ryuichi? Touma? Not to mention I might even get a glimpse of Bad Luck! In The flesh!" Her band mate in the seat next to her had to put her hand over her mouth to keep her from squealing again.
"Ya know Elysia, they just announced ten minutes till landing. But of course you were to busy freaking to hear that part." She removed her hand from Elysia's mouth and smiled. "Just calm down. We are going to rock this country." She took a deep stretch before sitting upright and preparing for landing.
"Yeah you're right. Thanks for keeping me on my leash, Jay."
Touma glanced down at the bands portfolio. Except it wasn't any band of his. It was an American band. Awhile ago him and K. had a crazy idea to set Nettle Grasper, Bad Luck, and the over sea band, Underestimated High. Up for a little one week tour. Why? They thought it would be good for Bad Luck to get in better company with some American and other international bands. That and Underestimated High seemed more than happy to comply. He decided to take Nettle Grasper along for the promotional and so Bad Luck would have some familiarity. He continued to review their files with a thoughtful smile.
The lead singer was Elysia. 21, female, and a ball of energy. He could think of at least two people she would get along with. Splendidly. Then the guitarist Toby 24, male, anti-social., much like the rest of America's youth. Jay, 22, female, keyboards and mix boards. She was mellow, poetic, morbid sense of humor. Very interesting. The last member was Tonto, 27, male, well, anatomically anyway. He played the drums.
A very strange and unique band. Touma had been so lost in thought and didn't hear his phone ring. So he quickly walked over to the phone and snatched it off the receiver. "This is Seguchi. Ah! Yes of course. Yes. They will have someone meeting them at the airport. A very loyal assistant of mine. Trust me they can't miss him. Yes. Goodbye." Touma smiled with glee. "Let the game's begin."
Elysia raced towards the front doors where this Sakano person was to be waiting for her band.
"Slow down!" Tonto yelled from behind. "This purse is heavy!"
Elysia just laughed and landed smack dab into poor Sakano-san. He let out a yelp of surprise and jumped back. Elysia laughed and spoke breathlessly in her flawless Japanese. "So? You must be Sakano-san. Ne? Touma sent you right?" She looked back over her shoulder and called to her band. "I found him! I found Touma's lap dog!" she glanced back at Sakano with a grim look on his face and frowned. "I'm sorry. That was just plain rude of me!" She extended her hand to a surprised Sakano with a smile. "I'm Elysia." By this time her other band mates had caught up.
"Elysia! When we say 'slow down' we mean it!"
Sakano smiled at the band and grabbed hold of Elysia's hand. "I'm Sakano-san. But I suppose you know that. Your luggage is waiting in the car. I'm to take you to your hotel and pick you up in the morning to meet the bands." He let go of Elysia's hand and turned to go out the airport doors.
"Wait… Two, bands?" Jay asked.
"Yes." Sakano replied. "Nettle Grasper and Bad Luck."
Elysia and Tonto pinched themselves. It wasn't a dream They threw what baggage they had in the air and let out their repressed squeals and squeaks of delight. They held each other and jumped up and down laughing and screaming. Sakano was a bit taken a back. But after seeing Ryuichi and Shuichi, this was nothing he couldn't handle. "Ladies. If you would be so kind as to fallow me to the car we can get you to the hotel before dinner starts.
Tonto looked up a bit confused. "Ladies? I mean, thanks for the compliment but, um, well, I'm a guy."
Sakano turned bright pink at his blunder. "Um, well, yes, so sorry, I…"
"No big deal!" Grinned Tonto he hugged Elysia and squealed one more time. All of them piled into the car and made their way to the hotel. When they got there Sakano helped them to their rooms.
"Thank you very much." they all chimed in unison .
"Not a problem" Sakano replied. "Oh. Seguchi-san also sent this for you all." Sakano held a box out to Toby and he tossed it over to Elysia. Who almost fainted when seeing what it was.
"Nettle Grasper, a-an- and Bad Luck's most recent C.D's!" She glomped Sakano out of pure adrenaline and joy. "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Sakano struggled away from her. And composed himself.
"They are from Seguchi-san. Thank him when you see him." Sakano shut the door and made his way home. Leaving the overjoyed band to prepare for tomorrow.
Later that night Elysia lay with her head against the window. Holding the unopened C.D.'s to her chest. Instead her headphones on high listening to "Glaring Dream." Her favorite song in all the world. To think. Tomorrow she would get to meet the pink haired God who wrote this. Maybe even his muse, if she were lucky. With the starlight and the voice of utopia in her mind she drifted to sleep.
