hey, whoever's reading this, I saw that this story got a lot of traffic, but i don't know whether that's a good thing. There are people from all over the world who've seen this, and if my hits outnumber my reviews, i start to get worried whether the story's good or not. That's why I appreciate it when my readers review. If i get your feedback, then i know what i'm doing right/wrong and i can fix my mistakes. If close to nobody reviews, then i'm going to think that continuing the story won't be worth it, and I'll get the message and stop writing it.

Disclaimer: NO TENGO SM! (did i say that right? it means i don't have SM...aka, i don't own it, and i don't own the other references either)

"Hey, Taiki, isn't this you in the paper today?" Yaten fumbled with the newspaper, looking at the blurred photograph that had made the front page.

"Ugh. Don't ask." Taiki sighed. He elbows were on the table and his head was in his hands.

"You got drunk? Again? In public?" Yaten sighed, his voice apprehensive.

"Please don't tell Seiya-" Taiki pleaded.

"Hey." Seiya sleepily walked down the stairs. He rubbed his eyes. "Where's the paper?"

"Uh…" Taiki snatched the paper out of Yaten's hands. "Let me get you some coffee first."

Seiya sat down at the table. "Hey," he nudged Yaten. "I saw the news. You're in that tv show…oh what's it called again? The one with Ace and a bunch of other people-"

"Baseball with the stars." Yaten replied.

"Whoever came up with that name must be really original."

"I know, right?"

"Good luck there, buddy."

"You make it seem like I'm not going to come back." Yaten mused.

"With the possible scandals, you probably won't."

"What do you mean?"

"You know that show I was on a few months back?"

"Dancing with the Stars?"

"Yeah, that one…god, these people have no originality!"

Yaten laughed. "People in the tv industry typically don't."

"Yeah, there's like a ton of cooking shows, fashion shows, and other reality tv shows. I think that Tabitha's Salon Takeover is like the only original show out there! Damn, there are some really stupid tv shows out there…"

"Like Charm school. I mean, what the hell is that? It's like etiquette school for bit-"

"Hey, I accidentally spilled coffee on the paper. Sorry about that." Taiki clapped Seiya hard on the back. "Oh well, hopefully nothing important was on the front page."

"Oh Taiki…" Seiya fumbled with the paper. Yaten bit back a grin. Of course he hadn't seen Taiki delicately pour coffee all over the front pages of the paper where his story would've been…because Taiki would never do that. Seiya had finally found a piece of legible writing and shoved it into Yaten's face. "Hey look! It's you!"

"Yeah." Yaten grinned sheepishly. There was a photo in the newspaper. The Captain of the Comets had his arm around Ace. Ace was clearly hogging the camera, but Yaten was still visible in the corner talking to Mina.

"Who's she?" Seiya pointed to Mina.

"That's Mina. I'm with her on the show."

"Damn! She's hot!" Taiki mused.

Seiya and Yaten glared at him.

"What? She is!"

Seiya sighed. "For once, I gotta agree with Taiki. She is."

Yaten rolled his eyes. "Ace is apparently stalking her. He was harassing her and I had to pull them apart."

"Scandalous!" Taiki said in a high pitched mock girly tone.

"Shut up. You sound like a teenage girl when you do that." Yaten said good naturedly.

"Taiki does have a point." Seiya said.

"Since when do you agree with Taiki? Taiki of all people? Are you sure you're feeling okay today? No fever?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Taiki said angrily.

"Hm. I dunno. Maybe he's being normal today." Seiya turned the page to see more pictures.

"Hey!" Taiki hit Seiya.

"Ow!" Seiya tried to retaliate but Taiki backed away and Seiya decided that he wasn't going to risk losing his balance just to hit Taiki. Taiki just wasn't worth it.

"Grow up, you two." Yaten said.

"But really, you don't want to get involved in this mess between Mina and Ace. It's only going to lead to something much worse."

"Too late."

"Just don't get even more involved."

"I'll try not to. Hey, weren't you about to tell me something that happened on Dancing with the stars?"

"Yeah. They put Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston on the same season!"

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah, didn't you watch the season?"

"Uh, Well…erm." Yaten fumbled for words. Dancing with the Stars was normally okay but he really couldn't stand the stars on that season. He'd just tune in to see Seiya's dance.

"Just kidding. I didn't expect you to."

"I heard there was drama."

"Hell yeah. Catfights and arguments…I swear, the paparazzi could just make up a story about them and the public would believe it."

"That still happens now."

"Which is why I'm telling you to watch your back."

"I will, don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

"Can you even play baseball?"

"Definitely. I've been playing since I was a little kid."

Seiya raised an eyebrow.

"I have! I played little league."

"Were you any good?"

"Best hitter on my team." Yaten nodded proudly.

"Did you make the championships?"

"Yeah."

"Did you win?"

"No." Yaten ran a hand through his hair sheepishly. "We were close to beating the other team."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, I was the last one up to bat, and the other team was good…really good. Their pitcher threw a fast one and I hit it far, but someone on their team caught it."

"Aw. Nice try though."

"Yeah. Maybe I'll be able to teach the kids how to hit."

"They probably already know how to hit."

"Not like I can." Yaten smirked.

"Oh shut up you showoff." Seiya muttered. Yaten moved to get some cereal when he heard Seiya's voice.

"Get some good cereal, would ya?"

"What cereal do you want?"

"Lucky charms? Have we got it? I love those marshmallows."

"Hmm. Cinnamon toast crunch…Pops…Reese's. No, we don't have any Lucky charms."

"Damn. I was really in a marshmallow mood."

"Maybe Yaten could find some." Taiki said pleadingly. He wanted to butter Seiya up before Seiya found out about the 'incident.'

"I checked." Yaten assured them both.

"Hey, look at this!" Seiya turned to the next page of the paper.

Continued from cover. Taiki Kou was last seen at a bar along Main Street last nigh at ten o'clock.Witnesses claim that he was throwing glass bottles at the wall and had to be escorted out of the bar due to this behavior. He was later driven home by his limo driver who had been waiting outside the bar... Seiya put the paper down angrily. "TAIKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I just had to put this scene there. I wanted to play on the immaturity of the Three Lights and wanted to discuss tv shows. Review so i know whether to continue it or not, because I don't want to get too far ahead and realize that nobody likes the story and won't read it. Review if you want to read more, give me ideas (That i will use), give me feedback (if you criticize, please try to use constructive criticism), and see more Mina and Yaten stories!!! Next chappie, if i post it, will be about Mina's place.
