Adventures in Cali – Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I don't own Hana-Kimi or its characters.

A.N. I took the advice of XxDawnxRiderxX to make them star in a movie, and I hope you don't mind if I did. It makes a good story. Thanks to all who love the story, and keep up the R & R. Also, this chapter has a significant link to the Jdrama.

Mizuki and the group walked towards a set for an upcoming movie when she bumped into a man with a burly beard and glasses. As he finished picking up his things, he looked up in shock, speechless.

"Just what I'm looking for." he muttered to himself.

"Pardon?" Mizuki questioned.

"You're just the actors I'm looking for! For my upcoming movie! I've been looking all over for good looking actors for it!"

Nanba immediately stepped up and said "Yep! Good thing you found me! I am, of course PERFECT for the job." (The man was Japanese who could also speak English, so Nanba spoke Japanese)

"So, you will accept the job?"

"Of course!" a very delighted Oscar stepped towards the man. "I am Oscar Himejima, Dorm Head of Dorm 3 of Osaka High. My dorm members and I are experts of the performing arts! That's ME!"

The man seemed scared of Oscar now. "Don't mind him." Nanba whispered to him.

He nodded and announced, "Well! My name is Takayuki! Welcome to the team! Just follow me in to sign the contracts!"

"Wait a minute! Making am movie takes a long time! How long are you staying for?" Mizuki had to ask.

"Lets see. Once the principal hears that we're stars in America, she'll let us stay here until it's done!" Nakatsu replied with a wide grin. "Trust me."

"Now that's a hard thing to do." Nanba commented with a chuckle. By now, Nakatsu was fuming as he strolled away.

"Please come over here." Takayuki said. "Since you don't' know English, we'll have to do the movie in Japanese. It'll be America's first Japanese movie! "Ashiya," he said, looking at their name tags and handing out scripts, "You will be a character named Horikita Maki. Nakatsu-kun; Ikuta Toma, Sano-kun; Oguri Shun….."

"Perfect! Oscar at your service. I will, of course, do my best to please you." and with a flick of a cape, he was off to practice his lines.

During the awkward silence that followed, Sano piped up. "What a coincidence. The characters in the movie have similar personalities as us. This should be easy. Ikuta Toma is a pig. Just like Nakatsu." laughs

"Hey! I heard that!" Nakatsu said from across the room. Mizuki giggled at Sano's comment, and Nakatsu blushed.

I agree with Sano!" Nanba laughed. "Remember today at lunch?" Nakatsu sighed, annoyed and irritated.

When they finished for the day, Mizuki asked Sano, " I can't believe you actually agreed to do this."

"Heh, might be fun, and for you." He smiled, and Mizuki blushed, her cheeks flushing with red.

For dinner, Mizuki took them to a famous steakhouse and bar. Nanba was immediately attracted to the girls and the bar. Mizuki stopped him as he was strolling towards the bar with his usual playboy sly grin across his face.

"Come on Nanba-senpai! We're eating at the STEAKHOUSE not the BAR!" Mizuki dragged him towards the table where the waiter had directed them.

"I don't' like red heads anyways." Mizuki rolled her eyes. "Thank god we have a waiter and the not a waitress."

"YES! STEAK!" cried Nakatsu, "I love steak!"

"Tone it down Nakatsu," Mizuki warned him. He sat back down and looked at the menu. He ordered a 12 oz. New York Steak with as side of a baked potato AND a French onion soup."

When their food came, Nanba faced Nakatsu with a laugh and muttered, "Pig." Fortunately, Nakatsu was too hungry to care what others though and dug into his food right away.

Back at the house, Takayuki phoned Mizuki, telling her that rehearsal was at 10:00am SHARP tomorrow and they were NOT to be late.

After many struggles along the way, ( I find that imagination for this part is stronger, although most of it revolves around Oscar, Tennouji, Nanba, and Nakatsu.) they finally all got the one bus to Hollywood. It was 9:00am, and it took them one hour to get to Hollywood.

"We'll make it just in time, hopefully." Mizuki announced.

Along the way, on the highway and they were 5 mins away from Hollywood when a wild deer jumped out from the woods. The bus driver, trying to veer off and avoid the deer, crashed into the trees. Everything was smoking, and nobody could see around.

Coughing, Mizuki tried to find Sano when she tripped along some figures on the ground.

Will they make it in time to Hollywood? What happened to all the members of Osaka high? Will they still be able to act? Find out in my next chapter, hopefully coming out soon! I also need ideas for what happens and what kind of movie they're in! Thanks!
