It was a quiet morning in the Master Course building as Ren and Masato sat around their room, enjoying their day off. When their senior barged through the door, their peace was ruined. "Get up and clean this place now," he ordered.

"Huh?! But the place already looks clean!" Syo exclaimed when Ai ordered him and Natsuki to clean the building.

"Are you questioning your senior?" Camus said in a threatening tone when Cecil asked why he had to clean.

In three different rooms, the juniors shook their heads not wanting to anger their superiors any further.

"Good. Now get to work!" the senior ordered before kicking them out of the room.

The members of STARISH cleaned the building from spare rooms to the kitchen to the dance room. Right now they were finishing up cleaning the lounging area.

"Hey does anyone know why we were cleaning at 8 am in the morning?" Syo asked as he collapsed on the sofa.

"Beats me but Rei-chan was happier than usual when he asked us to help clean," Otoya said.

"I heard Ai-chan on the phone with someone when I was sweeping by our room. So maybe someone important is coming over," the bubbly blonde said

"Someone is coming over?" The boys turned their heads to see their beloved composer walking towards them. Everyone greeted her and soon Quartet Night came in right behind her.

"I see you guys are done. Nice job!" Reiji gave them a thumbs up and they groaned.

~At the airport~

A woman with black hair, tanned skin, and green eyes stepped off the plane, "Ah finally back home!" Mai was in America for 2 years to further her studies as a dancer. America was an interesting place and she was able to dance in at least 5 musicals, 3 music videos and back-up danced for a famous singer on tour. However, she was missing something or someone in her life, actually, it was more of a group. She missed her Quartet Night. Although they were able to video chat every chance they got, she wanted the real thing and Reiji's attempt at phone sex was not very helpful.

She saw the president, Shinning Saotome along with Ringo Tsukimya and Ryuya Hyuga, holding a flashy sign with her name on it. "Home sweet home," she said to her self before she greeted them and got into the limo.

~At the Master Dorm~

Reiji was waiting at the door like a puppy waiting for its owner as the other members stared at him with raised eyebrows.

"So you made us clean on our day off for a choreographer," Tokiya asked with an annoyed look on his face.

"Not just any choreographer Toki. Our choreographer." Reiji said.

"Do you think we'll ever get a choreographer?" Natsuki asked as he tilts his head.

"I'm so glad you asked !" They heard their president yell out.

The room was filled with fog and a platform rose from the ground. A spotlight landed on Shinning and a mysteriously large box with a bow on it.

"You will get a choreographer...Rrrriiiiight now!" he opened the box but there was nothing inside.

"Huh?!" everyone was confused when the saw the empty box.

"But there's nothing in there.." Haruka said softly.

"Geez, why is it so dark in here?" The room brightens and Mai walked through the front door with Ryuya holding her bags. She looked at the empty box then her boss, "Oh was I suppose to be in there?" She let out a nervous chuckle as familiar and not so familiar faces stared at her. "Oh uh hello everybody ..." she did a small wave of her hand.

She felt the air get knocked out of her when Reiji bum-rushed her and held her in a tight hug. "Mai-chan you're here!" The brown haired man spun her around to the point she felt a bit nauseous.

"Reiji let's get the business part out of the way first," the dancer said as she pushed him off then smooth out her skirt.

"STARISH this is Miss Mai Saymi! She is Quartet Night's dance coordinator and now she is yours." Shinning exclaimed before stepping into the box. "Make me proud!" He closed up the box and the box turned into smoke.

After the air cleared there was a bit of an awkward silence in the air.

"I'm just going to toss this in your old room," The action movie star left the room hastily not wanting to be a part of the weird atmosphere.

'Damn it,' she thought before putting on a smile, "Well you guys already know my name and so why don't I just go around the room and you guys tell me your name and maybe something about yourself." She turned her gaze to the young composer then pointed at her, "Starting with you."

"Oh um, Haruka Nanami and I love playing the piano." She fiddled with her blue cardigan.

"Great I'm going to need you tomorrow whenever you're free since you know the song they're using." Mai has to get caught up if she's going to get them UtaPri ready. "Ok next" she looked at the blonde with a cartoon chick on his shirt and glasses.

"Hi I'm Natsuki Shinomiya and I like cooking and cute and small things!"

Mai smiled at the taller boy, "Aw that is kinda adorable." She moved on to the next guy.

"Tokiya Ichinose and I believe my voice is my strongest instrument."

Mai looked at him up and down, 'Isn't he...Nah no way he's that guy,' she thought.

"Cecil Aijima from Agnapolis" he waved.

'Note: Ask Ai where the hell Agnapolis is,' she smiles and moved to the next member.

"Jinguji...Ren Jinguji...but you can call me Ren. It's a pleasure to meet you," he lightly kissed the back of her hand.

The gesture caused her to blush and giggle, "Oh stop it!"

Mai was quickly pulled away by a jealous Ranmaru "Yeah Ren stop it," he glared at his junior.

"I can see you're going to be a bit of a handful," The dancer cleared her throat, "Anyway," she looks over at the innocent redhead, "What's your name, Ariel?"

He blushed in embarrassment for being given such a girly nickname, "It's Otoya Ittoki and I play the guitar."

She smiles and ruffles his hair cheering him up a bit, "You're going to be fun to work with." Then she moved to the next boy.

"Well aren't you...fun sized," she always wanted to use that word on someone and now is a perfect time.

"Oi, what's that suppose to mean!" Syo exclaimed.

"Oh nothing" she chuckles, "So tell me your name tough guy."

"Syo Kurusu and my favorite idol is Hyuga Ryuya." She did a small nod and looked at the last member.

"Masato Hijirikawa."

Mai was expecting him to say something about himself but he was very silent, "I see you might be a tough one to work with." To her, Masato seemed very stiff and it may be a bit difficult to get him to move the way she wanted him to. "Ok, guys we will get to work on the day after tomorrow so you're excused." She watched the group leave the area, leaving her alone with Quartet Night.

"Soooo since they're not working tomorrow... that means you're all mine right now because I called first dibs!" Reiji said and grabbed her hand, dragging her to the hallways.

"Hold it fool!" Camus grabbed the dancer's hand and pulled her to him, "We all missed her just as much as you did."

Ranmaru roughly tugged on Reiji's ear, "So you can't just run off with her out of the blue."

"And you can't call dibs on a human being" Ai said.

"Yeah but I'm her first in everything so I should be the first she gets to spend time with," Reiji argued.

Mai looked around the room and watched the seasoned group argue over who should spend time with her first. She has been away for far too long because she actually missed the quarrels and bickering a bit. The guys looked at her when she burst into laughter, "I missed you guys so much!"

AN: Okay this one feels right. I can live with this one :) Also I got some extra material for the next chapter so it's a win- win
