Chapter One - Struggling To Connect With A Fangirl

Hey guys! Here's my latest fanfiction, yet another AU! As you can probably tell, I really like writing AUs. cx Anyways, I really hope you guys like this story! A few things you might want to know are that - firstly - there's no Grimm curse in this reality. Nope. None. Secondly, Mina knows she is a siren. I believe that's all you need to know right now. xD

Anywho, let's get started, shall we? I'm o excited to see what you guys think!

"Minnnnaaaaa!" My best friend's piercing shriek rings out through my house, nearly giving me a heart attack. I swear that one day she'll be the death of me. Nan is extremely loud, but this may be the loudest I've ever heard her. Except for the time she thought she was going to get to quit school so that she could be the lead character in a movie, only to find that the person who got the role was Nana. But, either way, I think sooner of later Mei is going to start making us pay for whenever customers here screams from up here. Honestly, does she not realize that my walls are paper thin and that I'm probably in my room?

"What was that for?" I rub my ears as I complain from my seat of the bed. She doesn't seem to notice though when she bursts into the room, and I can tell for sure - in case for some reason that I can not fathom I couldn't tell from her screaming - now that she is excited about something. Instead, she bounces right onto my bed beside me. Does she not realize that scream could murder my ear drums? Then again, I suppose my scream could rival her's.

"You are never going to believe what's happened!" She's still bouncing, shaking my bed slightly.

'Uh, that guy who plays Captain Hook on you TV show - Once Upon A Time, right? - showed up at your house." That is her latest celebrity obsession, right? I don't know anymore. She has had too many that I lost count, and am always getting them confused.

She gives a very dreamy sigh, and I manage to keep myself from rolling my eyes at her fangirling. "No, he didn't show up at my house. So, the second best thing."

"You were picked to star in a movie as the main-" I think she realizes I'm about to tease her, and holds up a hand to stop me.

"How about I just tell you?"

"Great suggestion. Brilliant. Ingenius. Let's do that."

She rolls her eyes at my response, but quickly begins to squeal again, much to my aching eardrums annoyance. "I won a raffle!"

"Um..." I raise an eyebrow. "What did you win?"

She fishes around in her purse, and quickly pulls out two tickets and what looks to be two backstage passes. "I got two free tickets and backstage passes to see Fairytale on tour here!

She looks like she's about to explode, but I'm just confused. "Fairytale?"

"The hottest boy band ever! You really need a phone, or at least an iPod, so you can be more in touch with society, Mina." She pulls her phone from her purse next, and sometimes I speculate that she took Hermione Granger's purse. With a push of a few buttons in a Nan-O-Second - as I like to call them - she has an image pulled up. Okay, she wasn't kidding about the hot part. "So?"

"So what?" I honestly don't know what she's getting at, and she seems exasperated.

"Aren't they hot?"

"Okay, they are a little hot, I guess." I shrug, as I'm not really sure how to connect with this fangirl side of Nan. Actually, I never do know how. "Nan, I fail to see what this has to do with me."

"Oh. My. Gosh. Mina, did you not understand when I said two?" I shake my head, but then my eyes widen with understanding at her next words. "You're coming with me tomorrow night!"

"Me? Tomorrow night? Concert?" I shake my head again.

Nan takes my head and firmly nods it with the hand she's not holding her phone in. "See? I knew you would agree."

I groan. "Naaaaaaaan!" Not that whining will help me much in this situation, but you never know.

"It's all settled. Your mom already agreed that you would be going anyways. I'll pick you up at five, and then we'll have roughly an hour to get ready at my house. At six, we'll head off, and the concert will start at seven."

"And ends out?"

"Who cares?" She gives another fangirl squeal, though not at the same decibel as the last one.

I'm going to seriously regret this. I just know it.

The Next Night

I roll my eyes and Nan begins to drill me on who's who and every single little detail she knows about the band boys. Seriously, does she ever stop talking about them? Shaking my head, I manage to tune her out as she pulls me through the crowd to backstage.

"Nan, I really don't know why you like them so much."

"What?" She comes to a sudden halt, and a look of utter disbelief takes over her face. "How can you not like them?"

"Their music isn't very good, and the lyrics are even worse." I say, frowning at how taken aback she is.

"Look, I can understand why you criticize the lyrics. You are a fantastic lyricist and singer," She gestures to my lyric book I carry around with me. It's a leather book, and on the cover in golden lettering it clearly states 'Grimorie,' "which you really should show more often." She doesn't know the half of why I don't show it. "But seriously, the music! It's amazing!"

As she tugs me along to the backstage entrance, a tingle runs through me. I shiver, but then I realize that it's not because I'm cold. That tingle was because another Fae is around. No, scratch that. Multiple Fae. Nan shows our passes and nearly throws the door open, tugging me inside.

Seven extremely hot boys' eyes are on us as we walk in, and I suddenly get the feeling that I know exactly what's going on here.

What did you guys think of that chapter? Was it good? Bad? Please let me know! Also, who are your speculations on who's in the band? A few people are characters I have invented, and they are not currently in any of my stories. However, some are in the An Unfortunate Fairytale series, and I'd love to know who you think is going to make an appearance!

Can we get three reviews on this story? Then I'll update! (And don't any of you worry about Counting Stars and Killer Of My Heart. I am still working on both of those stories, but I wanted to get this and Who Dun It : Grimm Edition up first, as I've had them in my head for awhile. I wouldn't want to lose any of my ideas, now would I? cx I'm an extremely forgetful person, so that isn't too far-fetched.
