AN: :P I'm not sure how to work from this..but hey, I got a plot line settled so..Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except a bag of pocky and a few cents..so..

-- Chapter 1: Perfectly Normal..

I hope I can do this..

I closed my eyes tightly shut, trying to squeeze in whatever luck that was left.

Relaxation. Breath in. Breath out. Stop breathing. No wait..let's not go there. The last thing you want is to faint before you're big performance.

10 weeks of practicing and I still can't get some things right! What if I trip? What if my voice faulters?

The concert was just a few minutes away. I could practically imagine all those faces. Thousands of faces. Maybe Millions.

And of course.. the media.

I laughed nervously. The frightening clarity came back to me when I accidentally tripped on stage. I mess up once, and it goes on national TV!!

Oi..Why couldn't this be scheduled at least a month from now.

Yah..heh..Not like that would help. It's not like I would be calmer, or more prepared if I had a year..

Confidence. Confidence.

My petty thoughts were snapped out of when I saw Soo Jin walking to over to me. She saw my face.

"Don't worry! You'll do fine." She encouraged in attempts to cheer me on. "Go get 'em!" She said enthusiastically.

I smiled back energetically, although I'm pretty sure I wasn't feeling any energetic.

Well. I couldn't back out now. I was already in costume.

"Okay.." I heaved in a sigh and watched Soojin push over the curtains so she could get through onto the stage..

For a glimpse, I could hear the huge crowd of fans, seated, just behind those curtains.

Pretty, velvet Curtains..

I adjusted my mike, and hoped for the best, while my heart was beating faster than I think it should be.

As soon as I ran out as I heard my cue, I didn't see the screaming crowd that I was expecting.

No Soo Jin, no Jung Eum, no Hae sung, no the bright lights..

Instead, my eyes were shockingly adjusting to the forest-type surrounding around me.

Very Green, Out Doorsy place..Not a good place to hold a concert, but I guess it wasn't a bad place to go camping.

I don't understand. How could I end up here?

Magic? Haha..sure

I scanned the area briefly, my head spinning back and fourth.

There wasn't anybody in sight yet.

Just..

perfectly normal trees..

perfectly normal plants..

perfectly normal guy with doggy ears.

perfectly normal dir..

Wait just a second..

What?! -- An: I know, for those of you who don't know the kpop band sugar, and you're not Korean, the names might sound odd to you, but hey, work with me..haha
