"Hey why don't we all go somewhere after we're done recording?" Miku suggested gleefully, with a grin stretching from ear to ear. They were in the middle of a music project that the producers have spent weeks filming for the perfect conditions.

"Today?" Rin asked a bit shocked "Me and Len have a shoot after..." Rin's face dropped in disappointment.

"Me too," Kaito added.

"Not to mention it will be dark outside and I have an early start tomorrow, and you three have school" Luka said, looking at the three minors.

"Damn. It's been ages since we've hung out as a group," said Miku at the disapproval. "What about the weekend after the project is finished. Ah but who knows when that will be!" Miku started going on a small tantrum, stalking about and pulling her teal hair. Luka giggled.

"That will give us time to prepare," she said, putting a hand on her hip and turned her head to the two other women leaning on a wall, not taking part in the conversation. "What do you say?"

Meiko let out a long bored sigh followed by an extended "N-O." She pushed away from the wall in a care-free style and moved closer to the cluster of people but kept her distance. "I have better things to do with my time than go on a kiddie camping trip or whatever." She glared at the pink haired idol directly in the eyes with some unexplained anger and hostility to her voice. Her eyes stayed the same but her voice changed to a lighthearted, mocking tone "Don't you think you're a bit too old for this?" She gave a quick side-glance at the other adult and left the building, slamming the doors. The sound echoed through the silent room until IA broke the silence"

"This doesn't sound like my thing either so I'll skip this one."

"Hey you don't even know what we're doing so you can't say that yet," Len pointed out.

"Well it involves socializing and probably crowded areas. Not my thing."

"How about we go somewhere secluded then!?" Miku burst out with excitement at the idea. "Where should we go? A forest? The mountains? An island? Oh a desert wouldn't have many people at all!" The exited idol continued to name extravagant, extreme places that normal people would consider uninhabitable, the others let her have her fun.

"Ha ha well nothing like a desert or volcano and a mountain or island would probably have a lot of tourists but a forest on the other hand..." Ia went into deep thought for a moment and had a face of intense concentration.

"Sounds exiting. Are we camping?" Kaito asked and Miku and IA (now very exited) nodded ferociously. Kaito got a notebook and pen out and was writing a list of possible places and equipment needed.

"Camping? That means we need a place to sleep in and cook food. The most I have is an emergency first aid kit..." Luka said "And will your parents be fine with this?" Luka suddenly looked exhausted thinking about everything that could go wrong. She gave a quick suspicious look at IA who was never this exited. 'There must be a reason for this, could she be... no that's impossible...but afterall, she... No, no what am I thinking?' She shook her head as if to dismiss them and sighed. 'When did I become so jaded?' Her eyes glassed over ans she became distant, thinking on a tangent, memories, irrelevant thoughts, old friends etc as she slowly became aware of the present time and listened back in on what the others were saying, but the voices were distant and she couldn't concentrate on them.

"...-erything will be fine. Luka? Luka are you ok?" She suddenly snapped fully back to reality. Everyone was looking at her with worried expressions.

"Huh? Sorry," the others looked concerned for a bit longer but quickly moved on.

"Everything will be fine so don't worry about it," Kaito repeated.

At the end of recording and rehearsals, the idols left for their next jobs or home to make start preparations for the trip. The day was made awkward with Meiko disappearing like she did with everyone thinking 'Jeeze what's with that girl?' at least once that day because of the hardships she'd caused. When outside, Luka checked her phone for any calls or texts and took a moment to take in fresh air and admire the darkening sky. Because of her lax nature, Luka chose organization over haste when packing up and was often the last out of studios so she got to see the always busy places empty, seeing it in a different, more peaceful view which she preferred it to be. She stood by a pond surrounded by green vegetation. To her side she could see Kaito walk out from the studio but she decided to pretend she didn't notice and started to walk home; they got along but haven't been in many duets or anything together so didn't know each other well.

"Luka." He called, gesturing her to come over. Luka acted surprised and waited for him to catch up until they walked together.

"What is it? Didn't you say you had work now?"

"I do. I just wanted to tell you to not let what happened earlier get to you," he said politely

"Thank you for that but it's fine, I wasn't offended,"

"Really? After that, you spaced out for a good two minutes, it was concerning."

"I was thinking about something else. I apologize for making you worry." Kaito's expression changed slightly into a frown.

"That's not like you at all, what were you thinking?" He asked in an ominous, his face scarily stoic. His question and expression made Luka flinch and felt chills down her spine and lost her composure.

"That um... It was..."

"IA?" Kaito stopped walking and his face held a dark look.

'So sharp' Luka thought, startled. "How did you-?"

"So you agree she seemed different, suspiciously different? You looked like you were really concentrated when you 'went into a daydream.' You may say something but you should consider what face to take when thinking, something to work on." He gave a mocking smile and continued seriously. "Tell me. What was your little daydream?"

"I'm sorry but that's none of your business," Luka replied firmly, matching his expression, "And you seem out of character yourself." Kaito returned to his usual gentlemanly face at this comment

"Of course. I must apologize for my actions but you must admit she was too exited about going to a secluded forest." he rightly pointed. "Please excuse me for my concern. I have to turn here so I'll be leaving now. Good night Luka."

The girl started to tremble. She never knew that Kaito could be so menacing, making her feel like she's in danger, like he would kill her if she said something wrong. 'At least it turned out okay.' With a heavy sigh, Luka corrected her posture, gave her hair a quick flick also started walking. In the opposite direction to Kaito.
