Chapter 3

Hey guys, please don't hate me for not uploading sooner, I am really busy at the moment! Rock Challenge is this Friday and I am so nervous! I promise to have another chapter uploaded as soon as possible though so don't worry! I really hope you enjoy this chapter though, it's going to blow your mind away! ;) Enjoy! I don't own Yumeiro Patissiere or the songs I use in this fanfiction , all rights go to their original owners.

I finished the song and everyone applauded my performance. I stood where I was to get the judges verdict.

It took them awhile to finally decide and I knew that Grandma and Kana had their fingers crossed for me. I looked at the other contestants that I had been up against. They all looked at lest older me and they were also very pretty too but I had to focus on the results. The nice man from before joined us on the stage and in his hand he had a golden envelope with the top three places but of course there is only one winner. My heart is beating so fast I might explode, the crowd quiets down as they try to anticipate who the lucky one is going to be.

"It's finally time for the results my friends! Here in my hand I have the envelope that has the judges decision for the top three places but as we know there can only be one winner! As you know the winner will have their own cd made with songs of their own and as the two runner up prizes the lucky people to come second or third will also have the songs they have sang featured in the wonderful cd! The best part is they get to sing their own version too! So Here We Goooooooo! "

They also gave a huge round of applause at the speech and immediately created another atmosphere of complete silence as he opened the golden envelope.

"Well ladies and gentlemen, I now know the results so it is finally time to get this party started! Alright, in lucky third place we have Senma Yuki! She sang Guilty Beauty Love for us so that is the song she will be singing for the creation! (Everyone gave her a huge round of applause and Yuki went and stood on the third place position of the podium beside the nice man.) Now, in even luckier second place we have Shuusei Kokoromi aka Koko-chan! She sang Twinkle my heart so that song will be in the cd as well. (They gave an even bigger round of applause for Koko-chan then they did Yuki and she also took her place on the podium standing at the second place position. I was beginning to worry that I had not even placed but I managed to somehow keep any tears falling from nervousness as the nice man finally called out the last name for third place.) It's the time you have all been waiting for, it's the most luckiest of all our first place winner. And the winner is our youngest contestant tonight who we all thought was the cutest and she has won by a massive 30 votes! Our newest star, our winner is Amano Ichigo who performed Honey Honey! (He practically screamed it but that was nothing compared to the applause and cheers of the audience gave me. The big screen that was there had a picture of me with showers of stars falling and saying congratulations. I went to stand in the first place position on the podium. Three woman came over, they had a necklace for each of us, Yuki got a white one, Koko-chan a red one and I got a deep sea blue one and a bouquet of flowers as well. )

"Thank you all for coming to this wonderful event and we hope to see you soon! Give it up for our three lucky winners. Look forward to their cd which will be out soon."

(I went over to where grandma and Kana were as the Audience started leaving. )

"Well done Ichigo, you have made me very proud of you! You were absolutely wonderful out there today!"

"Yeah, you're grandma's right Ichigo! You were definitely the best and only the best!"

"Aww, thanks grandma and thank you Kana too. I was really nervous because I thought that I hadn't placed at all and I was very nearly preparing myself for the worst but he called out my name for first place. I am really happy to have won and I owe it to both of you! Kana gave me my wonderful dress and supported me, Grandma let me sign up and she is proud of me. It's the best thing I could have hoped for and the best part is other people will be able to hear my songs! "

"Ichigo darling, you're just the sweetest, right Kana?"

"You betcha she is, I can already hear in my head her wonderful voice singing her heart out for all to hear!"

(We all gave a laugh when the nice man from earlier came over.)

"We had quite a show today thanks to this little lady! She was magnificent out there! "

"Oh, thank you very much Mr nice man!"

"He he, my name's Nakamura Youichi so it is! I came to tell you that there are some reporters outside and some professional photographers that would like to take your picture and ask you a few questions if that is okay with your grandma. I need permission first as she was the youngest contestant here today. Well Whaddya say?"

"Ichigo can have her photo taken and be asked some questions as long as it is okay with her, I don't want her being scared or anything."

"I'll be fine grandma, Thank you I will gladly have my photo taken. I don't mind about the questions but as long as there aren't too many! Oh, what if air don't understand their question?"

"Don't you little lady, I will ask them to make sure to only ask questions that are suitable for you! You will have your photo taken along with your grandma, Kana and the other two who placed first and second. Once we are done, I will just need to go over the details of the cd and we will ring you again when you come out and record the songs etc."

"Okay, thank you , come on grandma, let's go kana!"

"Ichigo, be careful not to pull your grandmothers arm off!"

"Ha ha ha, I won't!"

(Grandma said that the people who questioned me and the photographers were called the paparazzi which I thought sounded funny because the name sort of sounds like pizza. It was brilliant making the cd along with Yuki and Koko-chan. They were so nice to me, I tried to be as nice to them as they were to me. We became really good friends after that but although they both had to move away we still stayed the best of friends meeting up whenever we could and made sure to stay in contact all the time. My fame as grandma called it began to climb even more as the years went on I was given my own band with other people who all became my best friends after I wasn't able to stay in contact with Yuki and Koko-chan as much anymore. Something happened and I am still depressed over it. I may now be fourteen years of age but inside I am still a kid at heart.)

Hanabusa and Andou are such idiots. We can't be slacking off from our duties in school. We attend 's Academy where we are aiming to be Patissier together for our childhood friend Amano Ichigo. We haven't seen her since we were seven and now we are all fourteen. She just left to go live with her grandma but we have not seen her once since then! We had all promised to become Patissier and Patissiere together but we can't do that unless she isn't here. I am the only one out of the three of us who thinks about her this much, the other two do mention her a lot like where is she and if she is okay and why she left. It is like she is running away from us and we can never catch up to her. Just where did you Ichigo, I would have liked to think about it more before my concentration was knocked off.

"Hey Kashino, aren't you getting ready yet? Hanabusa said that his mom will be here soon to take us to the concert! What the- You haven't even got a coat or shoes on! Come on, you have to hurry, these tickets were specially a present from Hanabusa and his mom. They were the last tickets before the show was sold out! "

"It's only a stupid band anyway, I don't see what the big fuss is about!"

"What the fuss is? Have you no idea who this band is? It's Strawberry Sparks! Their lead singer is called Ichigo but I don't know much about her. It was said she won a competition when she was nine by 30 votes and she was also the youngest contestant they had. The paparazzi say that her voice was a gift sent to her and she is an absolute angel! Once this band was formed no one could beat it for the top place of any charts list. They always came number one, it's unheard of, that's why it is such a big fuss, all the tickets were sold within an hour! I am suprised they were able to get the last tickets though. What makes it even more special is that it is her birthday, it's so nice of her to perform on a day like this you know!"

"What if this Ichigo is our Ichigo? She had one of the best voices we knew and she was always trying to do things for others despite the way her parents treated her. Although I am a little doubtful it is her after the promise we made together when we were younger."

"Huh, don't think like that! There is no way that someone as nice as Ichigo would give up her dream as well as the promise we made to each other, friends don't do that Kashino. Just hurry up or we will have to leave without you! "

"Do that and you will regret it, I'm coming now anyway! Just wait outside ok?"

"Fine fine, no need to get so worked up, I was just joking ya know. "

(He left and I grabbed my coat and quickly stuffed a pair of my good shoes on. We hurried to where Hanabusa and his mom were waiting for us inside the car.)

"There you two are, I was just signing in a note of absence for the weekend alright? Now it is high time we finally get to this wonderful concert, I can't wait myself so get in and we will be off. Hanabusa?"

"Already opened the door mom, come on you two or we'll vet left behind! This concert is going to be a blast!"

We finally hurried in and got our seatbelts on and then Hanabusa mom drove off. I was too looking forward to the concert but for some reason I have a bad feeling, maybe this Ichigo is really our Ichigo. If she isn't then I don't know what will happen next.

I hoped you enjoyed that chapter, it was a bit short compared to the others but I guess it was an okay chapter! I wanted to do a little game to see if everyone has been paying attention! Review of course! The first person to get it right will get something a little special! Here we go!

When Ichigo and her friends went out for the day what ride did they go on first?

I will be awaiting your answer soon my friends! I also have a poll on my page that I would like everyone to take a look at for me, thanks! ;
