Chapter One - The Beginning We Needed
Their faces flashed on the screen. Like a blinding dream.
Solbi was first, the leader. She was the only non-Korean in the band, but you wouldn't be able to tell. She was Japanese, which left little difference between her and her other three group mates. She had long black hair, occasionally changing styles, and the brightest blue eyes. In this pictures, her eyes were lined with black eyeliner which still didn't make them look any less silver. Her hair was pulled back except for her layered bangs, her long locks still reaching mid-way down her back.
Next was Miyun, the second oldest to Solbi. She was Korean, with dark brown hair that was cute short and framed her cute face. She had brown eyes and a peace sign held up beside her cheek. Miyun was the cutie of the group, even cuter than the youngest.
After her was Nara, the jokester and all around bad-girl rapper. She had feisty green eyes and light brown hair that was hanging down to her shoulders. She had a smirk that could knock any guy off his feet and that aura about her that left them wondering if they should hit on her or if they'll get hit on themselves…literally.
Last was the maknae, Yuri. Even though Miyun was the cutest, Yuri came in a close second. She had black hair, long and straight and down to the bottom of her back. She had pink highlights that stuck out the most, making her blue eyes look like candy.
After her the group picture flashed on the screen along with their name, Princess, in Hangul and English. The words along the bottom were as follows: "New Single: Gypsy Coming Soon!"
Soon was an understatement.
"Well, now that I've worked my nerves up to a maximum, I think I'm going to go cry myself to sleep." Solbi said, yawning.
"Aww, uhnee!" Miyun jumped up to hug her. "Everything will be okay! It's got so much publicity, I'm 100% sure it'll go platinum.""You're dreaming." Solbi told her with a smile. "I'll be okay. But if I don't sleep soon, I'll probably fall asleep at the press conference."

Next Day…
Leetuk sat on the floor of the practice room the next day, along with the other 13 members of Super Junior. Across the room, the TV was turned on, but no one was paying attention.
"Hyung! Night night!" Kangin fell across Leetuk's lap, faking sleep.
"Eh! Off me! It's hot!" Leetuk laugh.
"So…tired…" Heechul panted, laid out across the floor.
"At least you don't have all this extra insulation!" Shindong told him.
"Uuuugh." Hankyung fell, facing the corner.
His eyes wandered up to the TV, slowly taking in the image of a press conference table and four girls and most likely their manager just arriving.
"Hey, who's that?" He asked the other members.
"Who?" Leetuk asked.
"Where's the remote?" Hankyung crawled over a few feet to where the remote laid on the floor.
He turned it up quickly.
"How do you feel about your debut?" One of the reporters asked on the TV.
"We're excited to finally be able to put out a single and we hope our album will be a success as well." One of them with the name Solbi said with a smile.
"When are you expecting for your album to be released?"
"We're expecting the release date to be out around Christmas." Said their manager.
"Solbi-ishhi, many artists come out with a collaborated single soon after their debut. Are you planning to do this at any time to boost your popularity?"
"Ah, we aren't entirely sure. We may, we may not. You'll just have to see."
"Who is the youngest of the group?" Another reporter asked.
"Yuri-ishhi." Nara said with a smile as she elbowed Yuri lightly.
"Are you treated well as the youngest?"
"My uhnee's are my family. Even though they're not the sweetest-" Yuri laughed as Miyun pouted fakely. "-they're always the most supportive and loving. I love them dearly and they treat me better than many other people have."
"Are you saying that people such as the staff aren't supportive?"
"No, no, no." Yuri's laugh was like bells. "They're like my family as well."
"What about the other idols from your label? Such as Wonder Girls and 2PM?"
"Wonder Girls are like our role models. They've had so much success that they're advice is always welcome. 2PM has been so much help, as well. Nichkhun and Wooyoung have actually helped us during dance practices before."
"So do you think you might do a collaboration with one of those two?"
"We may. Like I said, you'll just have to see."
"Are any of you romantically interested in any of the members of 2PM?"
The girls laughed.
Solbi answered.
"They're all super cute, I'll give them that. But right now, we're just focusing on our success."
"So does that mean you're all single?"
"Yes." Yuri nodded.
"There's word that you'll soon all be staring on a TV reality show with another group. Would you mind confirming who that group is?"
"The group hasn't confirmed their appearance yet, so I'm afraid not." Their manager said.
"Which show will it be?"
"I also can't release that information. Due to the new release of Princess' new single, they'll be working hard on a new album for all their fans as well as this reality show. We hope they accomplish their dreams and succeed to the highest of their ability. That'll be all for today. Thank you."
All the girls stood and bowed, chorusing thank you's as the camera's continued to flash.
Hankyung turned back to the group, raising an eyebrow.
"I didn't know there was going to be a new group coming out." Sungmin said.
"They're cute." Kangin smirked.
"I wonder what show they'll be-" Eunhyuk started.
"Shh!" Hankyung turned back and turned up the TV.
On the screen was an announcer.
"And now, here's the world premiere of Princess' new single, Gypsy."
XxxxxxxxxxX
"Woah…" Kyuhyun gawked. "That girl could sing. What was her name?"
"I can't remember." Yesung was practically wiping his drool up off the floor.
Kibum quickly retrieved his laptop. "Her name was Miyun."
"Who's the leader?" Leetuk asked.
"Solbi." Kibum answered.
"Her that other chick have some mad dance skills!" Shindong commented.
"Which other one? Nara or Yuri?" Kibum asked.
"Whichever one was rapping." Shindong said.
"Nara." Kibum said. "I wonder what show they'll be going on."
Almost like clockwork, their manager appeared in the doorway.
"Hey guys." He said. "Break time?"
"Manager-hyung, did you hear about that new group?" Ryeowook asked. "They look pretty good."
"Which one?" He questioned.
"Princess." Siwon said.
"Ah, that's actually what I came to talk to you about." Their manager smiled.
Donghae and Eunhyuk exchanged interested looks.
"They'll be going on a reality show called, Down To Earth soon. They're be living out in the country for a week on a mountain in a two story cabin. They've asked if you could accompany them."
"Us?" Leetuk asked.
"Why us?" Siwon questioned.
"What about another girl group? Like Wonder Girls or SNSD?" Heechul asked.
"Their manager informed me that they'd asked SNSD and they're busy with their new album. Wonder Girls is on tour at the moment, so they obviously can't do it. 2NE1 is resting, so they said they'd rather not. That leaves either you or 2PM since Big Bang is in Japan at the moment."
"All of us or just a few?" Ryeowook asked.
"There's four rooms in the house, so I doubt it matters."
"When would this be?" Kibum asked.
"It'd be next week."
"So soon?" Siwon asked.
"They've been trying to contact me for a while, but I've been busy."
"I have a filming next week." Kibum said.
"I know. You don't have to go. Are there any volunteers?"
Leetuk, Hankyung, Eunhyuk and Donghae quickly raised their hands.
Their manager laughed at their eagerness.
"Anyone else?" He asked.
"Come on, guys!" Leetuk encouraged. "How is they supposed to succeed if people don't know Super Junior's got their back?"
"Hyung…" Hankyung nudged Heechul. "Please?"
"Fine." Heechul raised his hand. "There will be a shower, right?"
"Of course."
"Don't have anything better to do anyways." He muttered.
"I'll go." Yesung said. "You guys couldn't survive without me."
"I'll go, too." Sungmin said.
"Kyuhyun, you should come." Leetuk said. "It'll be fun."
"I'll grace you guys with my presence as well." Kangin said, now laying across Eunhyuk instead of Leetuk.
"Shindong-hyung! Siwon-hyung!" Kyuhyun nudged Siwon. "You should come, too."
"No! Siwon will be the biggest brownnoser!" Heechul complained.
"I will not!" Siwon laughed.
"They're pretty! You'll instantly suck up." Heechul said.
"No, I-"
"Eh! No! Don't deny it." Heechul said, leaning back on Hankyung.
"I'll go." Shindong said. "So will Siwon." "So all but Kibum and Ryeowook?" The manager asked.
"Ryeowook?" Sungmin looked at him. "Do you want to go?"
"I don't know…"
"It's only a week." Leetuk said.
"I guess…"
"Yay!" Leetuk clapped.
"Aw, now I feel left out…" Kibum frowned.
"Aww, hyung." Kyuhyun hugged him. "It's okay."
"We'll probably be regretting it in a few days." Kangin told him, patting his knee.
"Are you sure you can't come?" Hankyung asked.
"I can't cancel a filming." Kibum sighed then smiled. "Oh well. You guys have fun."
Leetuk ran and gave him a hug. "Love you."
