Walk by the Shore

Chapter 1: Home Alone

(Started: March 24th/Finished: March 25th)

I walked into my room and turned on the light. I sighed and walked straight over to my bed, only to fall on it when I reached it.

"I wasn't able to make the audition again this year," I said to myself. I had missed it once again, only to be later yelled by Akemi-sama for being tardy. The auditions always end when I seem to walk straight into that room, giving Akemi-sama more reason to yell at me.

A tear trickled down my face. It's been my life long dream to perform on a stage to make people happy and filled with entertainment. And Mika Lights Stage was just the place to do such a thing. It's basically like a circus, a play, and a ballet all put into one. And what I wanted to do most is perform on the trapeze, but that will never happen, obviously.

I sat up in my bed, looking straight ahead at my posters on the wall. All of the posters at that section of the room were entirely of Mika Lights Stage cast. Akemi-sama was there with her magnificent partner, Zack-sama, the diva Miss Lenne was singing, the rest of the crew performing, and last but not least, the stage itself. Alone. It was a beautiful sight to see.

"To bad I'll never be able to perform on it," I said. "Every year I am always knocked down. Guess I should just give up on hope." I sat in bed, thinking to myself. 'There is no possible way they would ever accept me,' I thought. I sighed, knowing I was a failure. Just then, the sound of my phone ringing filled the room. I walked over to it and answered. "Hello?" I heard a soft voice, a man's voice.

"Miss Kairi?" came the voice. I nodded.

"Hai?" I answered. The man cleared his throat.

"I heard that you were going to audition for Mika Lights Stage?" he asked. I nodded once again.

"That is correct, sir."

"We were bewildered by your performance, but your tardiness kept you down. And I believe that than can be improved," the man answered. I stared at the wall in confusion. 'That can be improved? What? Where's he getting at?'

"Sir?" I asked him. The man coughed before he answered.

"I would like to tell our new cast member that she was accepted, if she would accept it herself." I starred at the wall with my mouth wide open. I know I wasn't talking to the wall, I was just starring at it. I know, I weird. The man waited for me to reply. I still didn't say a word. "Hmm," he sighed. "Well then, I guess you do not accept then. I'll just be getting on then-" the man trailed off.

"Wait!" I yelled.

"Hmm?" the man asked in curiosity.

"I do accept," I managed to say. The man chuckled.

"Well then, I expect to see you at the stage by this weekend at the stage. We already paid for your airline ticket, so no need to worry about that. Also, you'll be living in Los Angeles, over here, so you'll be transferring schools. You're a junior, right?"

"Yes sir!" I answered with firmness in my voice.

"Good, good. You'll work out nicely on the stage. We've already given the schools the transfer slip. The only thing you need to do is come on over here and move into the dorms. The school you'll be going to is Spira High, got it?"

"Yes sir! Oh, by the way… may I ask you your name sir?" I asked. He laughed at the question.

"My name is Mr. Katagowa," he answered. I perked up and put a smile on my face.

"What time should I be at the airport, Mr. Katagowa?"

"By 3 P.M. tomorrow. It's a three days flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles. We want you there by Saturday, alright?" he asked.

"Yes sir!" I answered, gaining more confidence.

"Good then. I'll be letting you go now. I have a few things to do and they decided not to wait. Goodbye and have a nice night," Mr. Katagowa said.

"You too. Goodbye." I gently hung up the phone and started jumping up and down on my bed. 'I'm finally going to Mika Lights Stage!' I thought. "This is going to be great! Woaahhhh!!!!-" I fell off my bed and landed on the floor. I started laughing at my stupidity. "By tomorrow, I'll be free," I said to myself s a smile wiped onto my face. "Man, am I glad I am home alone!"

Author's Note: W00T! I finally got the first chapter to my fanfic done. :D It's kind of bad, but hey, it's not corny like Ka-chan's fanfics are. XD

Ka-chan: Ne-chan! My stories are NOT corny!
Nix: They are in my world.
Ka-chan: *growls*
Nix: What?
Ka-chan: I'm getting Kadaj! *runs off*
Nix: Pfft! Whatever flat chest. ;P Anyways… first fanfic ever. And better than-
Ka-chan: Is NOT!
Nix: Yeah, yeah. To tell you the truth, I got this idea from a TV show I used to watch. Kaliedo Star. But I'm only basing the stage off of tat, not the entire thing. So I'm not copying, I only wanted to make mine a bit more interesting. That's all.
Ka-chan: Oh yeah?! I used a romantic fireworks show in mine. *sticks out tongue*
Nix: Boring!
Ka-chan: *growls loudly*
Nix: And that concludes this conflict. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to run away from flat chest now. Bye! *runs away*
Ka-chan: It's not flat chest, Flat Foot!!!!!! I'm gonna get you Flat Foot!!!!
