New Story! Let's launch right into it! I don't own Shugo Chara! Everything is in Amu's POV!
The bright stage light glared down at us as we got ready to dance and sing on the stage. The audience was cheering us on, and I could see a thousand of people trying to get our attention. Yaya, the youngest of us all, was waving back at everybody, and she was smiling brightly. Yaya's main strength is dancing, and she is very flexible that I sometimes think that she is not human. Rima just ignores everybody, only doing what she needs to do. Typical Rima. Her strength is singing, especially the high parts. She is the prettiest in our group, and every single boy thinks she is an angel that descended from heaven.
Utau looked like she was enjoying the music, and she was also smiling at the audience. She is the second prettiest girl in the group, and her strength is singing. She can do anything with her voice. Low, high, medium, you just have to ask her to sing. As for me, I was smiling brightly like Yaya, and my strength is also singing. I wasn't as good as Utau, but for some kind of reason I am the leader of the group. Our group name is Starlight, and we are the most popular girl idol group that exists in Japan these days. Everyone admires our singing, dancing, and looks.
Utau started the song off for us, as her beautiful high-pitched voice clearly rang across the whole room. Rima came in a beat after Utau, singing the harmony part while Utau sang the melody of the song. Yaya just danced, since she wasn't all that good at singing. I shuddered as I thought of Yaya's singing voice. It's not something you want to hear ever again. Once is enough. As for me, I just sang along with Utau and Rima. I'm not particularly good at singing or dancing, but I'm not terrible at either of them.
We sang the next verse, and repeated the first verse, and the song ended soon.
Our fans cheered for us as we went backstage to change into our regular apparel. Next up was the group called Moonshine. I could hear loud ovation as the four group members entered on stage. I didn't know much about the Moonshine group except for the fact that they were the most popular boy idol group that existed in Japan. In other words, they were our rivals. Anyway, Yaya, Rima, Utau, and I walked into our dress-up room while the boys performed their song.
"That was too tiring," complained Rima, sitting down next to me. The dress-up room had a big desk, four big mirrors that reflected your whole body, and four chairs. Utau and Yaya sat down in front of me.
"I can't believe you just realized that. I warned you that being an idol is energy consuming," said Utau, being the oldest of us all, she was calm and serene.
"Guys, don't fight again! Let's eat cake!" said Yaya, putting a big birthday cake on the middle of the desk.
"Didn't you say you were going to try to restrain yourself from eating cake from now on?" I asked, worried that Yaya would grow fat. Being fat was one of the factors why some of the past idols got kicked out of their company.
"Well, I'll restrain myself starting from tomorrow," said Yaya, careless and mind-free.
"Didn't she say that yesterday?" asked Rima, looking suspicious.
"Yeah, she did," I replied, as Yaya cut herself half of the cake, consuming it all in three bites.
"Well, you need to eat a lot if you want to have a lot of energy, so I don't blame Yaya for eating that much," said Utau, pulling out a bowl of ramen from nowhere, starting to eat it as fast as Yaya.
"I think we're the only ones that are afraid of getting fat, right Rima?" I asked. Rima was also consuming one fourth of the cake.
"Uh, Rima?" I asked, looking at Rima as if she had betrayed me.
"What? We'll just go to the fitness center after this" said Rima, looking at a gag book while she was licking frosting off her fingers.
"I'm an outsider," I sighed, trying to resist the urge to eat the cake.
Like this, we all had different characters when we were done performing. Yaya was a cake lover who didn't care about being fat. She sometimes acted like a baby, being the youngest of us all. Rima liked to read gag books, and sometimes I would catch her trying to follow the gags in her books.
Utau was headstrong, and she is a perfectionist. If you do something incorrectly, you'll never make the same mistake if you are under Utau's control. As for me, I'm not the leader everybody thinks I am. I am very shy, and the only reason I am able to perform is because of my friends who are always by my side. We all try to hide our real characters, because our popularity might fall.
I had finally decided to eat one piece of cake when suddenly the door banged open. Our manager came in, looking excited. She was holding a script in her hands, and she looked like she was out of breath.
"Amu, you were selected to play the main part in Mr. Unomi's new drama!" said our manager, excited.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yes! Rima, Utau, and Yaya were also selected to play some kind of other part in the drama too!" said our manager, Mrs. Yuki.
"Isn't Mr. Unomi the most famous director in Japan?" asked Utau.
"Yes, he is! This is going to be Starlight's first drama debut!" said Mrs. Yuki, jumping up and down in excitement.
"That's great! What's the drama about?" I asked.
"It's a love story. It's such a beautiful story. I've read the whole script in one night, you know," said Mrs. Yuki, pointing to the script she was holding.
"What? You know I'm not good at acting out love stor-," I said before Yaya cut me off.
"Oooo...is there a kissing scene?" she asked, winking at me.
"It's a secret until the day we start filming the drama," said Mrs. Yuki also winking at me.
I was sure there was going to be a kissing scene. The way Mrs. Yuki winked at me told me everything. What do I do now?
"Don't worry Amu. I'll make sure I bring my digital camera with me to capture the kissing scene. You can be sure it will spread all over YouTube," said Rima, already pulling out her camera that she used to film all my embarrassing moments. Rima had an evil look in her eye that made me sweat drop.
"Oh, Rima, you should be trying to convince Amu to play the part. Not try to blackmail her," chided Mrs. Yuki.
"Wait. Does that mean I don't have to play the part?" I asked, hoping that she'll say yes.
"Oh, you do have a choice, but-," said Mrs. Yuki, before Utau interrupted her.
"You don't need to do this, but Mr. Unomi is the most famous director in Japan. If you reject him, then he might spread rumors about you. You might not be able to play a part in any drama, ever again in your whole life," said Utau, sounding like she was trying to give me sage advice.
Utau, Rima, Yaya, and Mrs. Yuki were all staring at me, so I had no choice but to consent. I'll have to try to think of a way to get rid of the kissing scene.
"By the way, whose going to play the male part?" asked Yaya, curious.
"The male part is going to be played by Tsukiyomi Ikuto from the Moonshine group," said Mrs. Yuki, smiling at me.
How's the first chapter? I'll try to update A.S.A.P. I have another story that I'm working on, so it might take me some time to update, but I promise it will take no longer than two weeks. Thank you for reading and please review!
