Finally, after long hours of dreaded waiting, the plane reached the grounds of the country she had waited long years to return to, Japan…
The mere acts of collecting the luggage and checking out took what appeared to be forever, at least in her eyes. In what had been really 15 minutes, had felt like 3 hours to her, until she was finally outside, spotted the driver who had been waiting to pick her up and entered the rather flashy white limousine.
'Only a bit more…' she thought. 'After a while, I can go and see them!'
With that last thought, Melody put on a long she had grown to like over time that belonged to a Japanese band: Quartet Night… She had become somewhat of a fan of the band due to an acquaintance back in Italy; she loved her songs and even swooned over the four, however she was one of those airheaded people who knew only of the members' first names, completely ignoring their lasts. At the sound of Ai and Camus' song, 'Dearest', she eventually drifted into a deep slumber…

"Do you know why I asked you to come here today?" Shining Saotome's glasses twinkled brightly as he gazed over the four idols that stood before him somewhat confusedly.
"You mean… why you called us right now, or…?" Reiji asked rather innocently; receiving a sudden slap to the back of his head from one of his band mates. "That was mean, RanRan!" cried out the brunette with a small pout, holding his head with both hands much like a child would.
"He means now, idiot!" growled the rocker violently, ignoring the brunette's childish antics.
"I do mean now!" spoke the director in an unusually serious tone. "So, no one?"
"I have a few possible theories, but cannot tell which would or not be the correct one." Stated plainly the cyan-haired male.
"Since no one says anything. I am…" the older man paused dramatically; suddenly getting up, placing one foot upon his desk and pointing his finger towards the wooden ceiling he declared with an enthusiastic laugh: "…assigning you a manager!"
The next seconds were spent in silence, before someone decided to break the silence.
"Why exactly do we need a manager?" asked Camus, clearly showing his disgust towards the idea.
"Yeah, we've been doing fairly well on our own!" huffed Ranmaru, letting out his own annoyance about the news.
Reiji, on the other side, simply adopted a thoughtful pose as he attempted to ponder everything.
As for Ai, he fully comprehended the reasons, and so stated them: "A manager is necessary for our prosperity in the music world. We have been doing well on our own so far, but we are not able to organize individual and group schedules all by ourselves; as such, our careers will begin to fall into decline if we continue without managing aid."
"Exactly!" laughed loudly Saotome, opting for a flashy exit at that same moment; however his voice still echoed behind: "Your meeting with the new manager is tomorrow at 2pm!"
For a minute, the quartet remained silent, until Reiji decide to turn around to face his co-workers.
"I guess we'll have to go to the meeting tomorrow then, right?" cheered the brunette, obtaining but grunts of disgust and annoyance from Camus and Ranmaru.
