Molco, where our other heroines are shopping...

"Hey guys, look at this!" Sayaka yelled from across the room.

"Ooh, it's so cute! I need to have this for my collection!" Anna gasped.

"Calm down, you two, it's just a T-shirt. Geez! Commoners obsess over the minutest things." Rin sharply replied.

Sayaka giggled and said: "Cmon, Shirosaki-chan, don't be a spoilsport! Besides, we need to make the best out of this trip, and JIN2's concert isn't until the 28th!"

"U-umm... Do... Do I look odd in this outfit?" Reika shyly asked. She wasn't used to wearing modern outfits at all, and felt very awkward in the streets of such a busy place such as Shibuya either way.

Sayaka slapped Reika on the back. "Of course not, Reika. In fact, your outfit looks gorgeous. Why don't we find some more for you?"

Suddenly, a phone rang. "Ooooh! It must be mine!" Honoka yelled. " Now where is it...?" All the Lapin Angelique attire she was wearing made it hard to find her stuffed rabbit Chaco, much less a cell phone.

Rin pulled a sleek blue and red phone out of her pocket. "Don't worry Honoka, it was actually my phone." She opened the phone and answered, "Hello? Shirosaki here."

"Rin! Meet us at Udagawa after you're done. We have something urgent to tell you."

"Haya-chan! How are you? How was your day? Do you have any pictures?"

"That's not important right now, so hurry up!"

"Fine, be that way, Mr. 'It's too important for me to care about you, Rin.'" She hung up and said, "Alright, guys. Apparently, something really important happened, so we need to get to Udagawa, ASAP."

Sayaka went into her "cheerleader" pose. "Alright, girls! Let's get crackin'!"

The two backups began to follow suit. "Whatever you say, boss!"

Unfortunately for them, the Asahi girls already left.

"Darn." Sayaka said.

"WE WERE HAVING AN AWESOME MOMENT, YOU KNOW!" Aoi yelled.

Once they were outside, Aoi saw two people bickering about some sort of game.

"Come on Isamu, we need to hurry up! If we're going to survive this challenge, we have to get our act together!"

"Do we have to go right now, Keiko? I was having so much fun screwing with people's heads!"

"We've only got ten minutes left, and that Reaper over there needs a Heart Pochette!"

Not realizing what they were talking about, Aoi took out her newly-bought accessory and said, "Ummm, you can have mine!"

Keiko politely pushed the bag out. "Don't worry about it; we still have enough Yen left!"

"AOI!!! We need to get to Udagawa RIGHT NOW!" Sayaka yelled from afar.

The pink-haired glasses girl began to run towards them. "I'm sorry I couldn't help, guys!"

Isamu was a little confused. "Wait, aren't we invisible to normal people? Maybe they're Players too."

"They can't be. We're supposed to "Defeat the twins" at Spain Hill, so why would they head to Udagawa?"

"Maybe they're Reapers?"

"Well, I don't think they're Reapers. Why would they help us for no reason?"

Isamu mumbled a few words, despite being just as confused as Keiko was.

"Well, we have no intention of getting erased just yet, so let's head on over to Spain Hill already!" Keiko then ran as quickly as she could, with Isamu in tow.

Meanwhile, at Udagawa, Beat and Rhyme were just finished skateboarding.

"Wow Beat, you're getting really good at this stuff!"

"You weren't so bad yerself, Rhyme. Besides, I would never have started skateboarding seriously if it weren't for you."

Suddenly, a group of people went up to Rhyme. One of them, a young blonde wearing a sweater, said, "You know, you guys are really good at this. Do you mind if we try?"

"Ooooh! Ooh! Me first!" A guy in a jaunty fedora cried.

"Don't worry, everyone will get their turn." A guy with a large swirl of a hairdo said calmly. "[Although surfboarding is more my thing...]"

Once everyone had gotten their turn, Beat picked up his and Rhyme's board and said, "Well, we hafta go back now. Maybe we can-"

"Beat! Rhyme! I have something awesome to tell you!"

Before Ryuuta began to speak, he noticed the group of people near Beat. "Dammit, not THOSE guys. What's the point of keeping our operation secret if we're seen at the same time?" he thought.

"Ahem, I'LL speak for all of us here." Joshua said. "You see, we were wandering around Cat Street when we noticed these people around here. Apparently, we have found the elusive Ouendan from Yuuhi and Asahi."

One of the people, an African-American wearing headphones, said, "You don't need to tell us that, we already know the-"

The blonde whispered into his ear. "[[Spin, we know you're a bit of a rookie, but don't blow our cover. It's bad enough that we were finally seen together.]]"

"Fine, fine, Stella. You see, me and my friends here actually know the Ouendan, because Stella here is actually Anna's sister. See, there she is right now!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw the busty blonde, with friends in tow. "Sorry we're late, we had to- [Oh hi, Stella! You came to Tokyo for a vacation? And you brought all your friends over! What were their names again?]"

"Err... Elliot. Elliot J. Smith."

Spin gave his alias. "Matt Ellington here."

"Nathan Clay," a deep voice boomed.

"Derek... Yu?"

"Morris Chahal!"

"Penelope Stiles," a silver-haired woman said behind her laptop.

"Milly Treston, but most just call me Missy."

"Oh yeah, we haven't heard your names yet!" "Stella" then looked at the two young blondes in front of her and said, "Tell us your names!"

"Umm... I'm Rhyme, and this is my big bro, Beat."

"Why don't you come over to our place? We're pretty wealthy, so we got to secure a nice house in Meguro!"

"I dunno, we just met you people..."

"Don't worry, Rhyme! They're friends with the Ouendan, what could go wrong?"

"Well, I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth... Okay! I'll take up your offer!"

Once Beat, Rhyme, and Stella's friends left, Hayato said to Shiki, "You're only acting friendly with us because of the concert thing, right?"

"Pretty much, now cough 'em up!"

"Rin?"

"Oh, the spare tickets you wanted? You can have them, but on one condition..."

"Well, since they're going with our friends, you guys are coming with us."

Neku was shocked. "WHAT!? Why do I have to go with-with YOU guys?"

"Well, we would say that it's a precaution so you don't go blabbing our secret to everyone you know..." Hayato said.

Ryuuta then said, "But it's mainly because we want you to do our menial labour."

Kai bursted out into laughter. "Besides, maybe we could get you kids into shape! I mean, LOOK at yourselves! You three are practically skeletons!"

Hajime looked over his book and asked, "Umm, can you try not being so forceful? Besides, I think they'd like to go home by now."

Shiki let out a sheepish laugh. "Umm... about that..."

"It's a little complicated." Joshua said.

"It's a lot complicated." Neku sighed.

Sayaka pointed at the sun. "Well, it's getting dark now. Who wants some hot chocolate once we get back to the old dojo?"

Cries of, "We do! We do!" were heard from various people as they headed to the old Ouendan dojo. Something was telling Neku that this was going to be one heck of a long journey...

Somewhere, far from the location of our heroes...

"Hmm... This is a very interesting development. Do you think you're ready for our plan on the 28th, Masuyo?"

"Ready when you are, boss!" a girl wearing a spiky pigtail on the side of her head exclaimed.

A mook in a cow suit spoke up. "Um... what happened to all those failed plans? You know the ones with J-Yama, our motor branch, and the kidnapping of JIN2?"

"J-Yama K-Go, the corrupt mayoral candidate? Just a crony. The car company that stole Sushi Motors' biggest plans? Just a minor branch. The kidnapping of JIN2, Japan's number one idol!? Just the beginning. Soon, my dear Cow Suit, we will show the world our full potential! A world ruled by Moo Moo Corporation, what a moo-tiful world such would be!"

"Isn't that last line kinda sorta copyrighted?" the Cow Suit asked.

Masuyo leaned on her chair. "Oh well, I think we're under protection anyways."

"Why do I have to work with such incompetent underlings?" the company head thought out loud. "Anyways, commence Stage One of our plan."

To be Continued? Dance Safe, kid!

More Random Notes!

-What menial labour is in store for our 15 (and possibly infinite?) year old heroes? Not as much as you'd think, actually!

-Oh yeah, a pro tip- [[In this fic, stuff between the braces is English.]] Just wanna point that out.

Like a bad hidden object game:

-More subtitling fun! (Based on a manga, natch.)

-Derek really sucks at aliases. Morris, not so much, but he still sucks. (I'm sorry! I really liked the name!)

-Plot! Villains! Continuity! Shameless ripping off! All on the next chapter!
