Divine Diva

Chapter 4

On TV Round 1 and Round 2

Please review! For those of who writes, you know that just one review means a lot.

I need you people's help, it's shown on the bottom of this page. So read the bold letters after you finish reading please.

Songs Used: Tell Your World (Hatsune Miku), ONE (Crystal Kay), Iroha Uta (clear) -I decided to put the vocal of the songs I used, since famous Vocaloid songs have lots of versions and Utaties singing so if you want to hear the song just use what I wrote here for the ones I actually got based of

November, Dawn's least favorite month of all. She felt nervous about the result. If they pass this round that they are on TV! For real! She gulped. She took a deep breath and decided not to kill Zoey this time. When the class was over she walked down to the small shop in the first floor, bought a corndog and ate it. She then walked up to her dorm room and saw everyone else waiting for her. "Dawn! We passed! We are going on TV!" The girls squealed and Dawn beamed. "Seriously? Are you sure about that?" Dawn ran to the laptop as Zoey showed her the mail.

"Wow…. I just… I can't….." Dawn gasped and reached for a bottle of water and gulped it down. "I know. I can't believe we passed! We are going on TV!" Leaf shrieked and giggled. "Alright. Zoey, you told us that the first time we are going on TV we are going to sing the song that you wrote. Are you done with that?" Dawn asked Zoey. "Um, yeah. I will print the lyrics out for ya and I will play the music." Zoey said as she took an USB out and walked out of the room to the printing/copying room.

The girls glanced at the laptop just sitting there and Dawn walked over to it. "What are you doing Dawn?" Leaf asked as she came over to me. "I want to see that 'secret weapon' of hers." Dawn said as she double clicked the 'Songs' file. She then looked at the numerous songs that Zoey was working on. "Woah. How many are there?" May asked. "Don't know." Dawn said as she looked over the songs but none of the title looked so 'secret weapon'-like or sexual. Dawn growled as she kept searching until she gave up and put the laptop to her side. Zoey walked in and gave her friends the sheet with lyrics. She then threw herself on the couch.

Dawn read through the lyrics of the song and looked at Zoey who was looking for the MR file. "Wait, I almost found it…" Zoey said. "What does that even mean?" Marina asked. "That means I found it." Zoey said as she turned the music on. The girls listened to it quietly until Leaf raised her hand, "This doesn't have lyric in it." She said. "Duh. This is MR. I hope you didn't expect me to sing into it." Zoey said with a frown. "Then how do we know how to sing?" Marina asked. Zoey grabbed the lyrics and replayed the song, singing into it.

The girls just watched and listened carefully. Zoey wasn't a good singer but it gave the girls enough idea how they should sing this song. "Now you girls try." Zoey said. The girls tried about 3 times then they took a short break. "Hey!" Dawn stood up. The girls looked at her. "We are going on TV!" Dawn shrieked. Her friends looked at her weirdly. "We know, why do you scream that out?" May asked. "We need to go shopping! We can get like matching outfit or the clothes that Zoey think is appropriate for the song!" Dawn said and the other girls shrieked as well except for Zoey and Misty.

"Are you guys sure? 'Cause if Dawn goes shopping she literally shops till drop." Misty pointed out. "This is the day to shop till drop, Misty." Marina scolded her cousin and the girls started to get dressed out of the uniform and into normal clothes and get ready to go shopping.

They went to the mall and the girls started to roam the mall. "Look! Look at this, what do you think?" Dawn asked coming out from dressing room. She was wearing blue tank top, white skirt and black pair of high heels. "No. Not that. Think you should go for pink. Girls, come here!" Zoey called her friends who were scattered around the huge shop. The girls came to Zoey. "This song is rather bright and rainbow colored thing. SO I will pick out the colors of the clothes you are going to wear, you got that?" The girls looked at each other and nodded.

"Dawn, you are going for pink but it should have some other colors in it as well." Dawn nodded and headed off. "Call me when you find it!" Zoey called out.

"Leaf, you are going for green but not too dark. Like color of the leaf when the sun ray's hitting it." Leaf nodded and returned to where she was.

"May, you are red. But I want your clothes to be bright! Like I said, not to dark." May nodded with smile and walked away.

"Misty you are sky blue. Not deep ocean blue that you would like." Misty groaned but headed off to find sky blue clothes.

"Marina you should go for yellow. Bright yellow, you got it?" Marina nodded and then walked away to the section with skirts.

Now that Zoey had nothing to do she decided to go to food court and wait while eating ice cream.

Dawn called Zoey about 10 times and got rejected, all 10 of them. "Come on! This one was perfect!" Dawn whined and pouted. "No it wasn't. I know my song and this is not what I pictured." Zoey walked around the shop and picked up a top. "How about this one?" The top was pink of course but it had yellow and black vertical stripes. She shrugged as she went to the fitting room and came out. She looked pretty good. Her bare shoulders were shown, the ruffles on the top was doing the sleeve's job though it wasn't one. She was still wearing the skirt she was wearing which light colored jean skirt. "Wow. Those are perfect. Get those two." Dawn nodded she was quiet a fond of this clothes. "Now I need to pick out high heels." Dawn said after purchasing them.

Zoey got a call from Leaf and walked to the shop where she was showing two tops. "What do you think is better?" She asked. Zoey looked at the tops. One was forest green T-shirt with lime colored peace sign. The other one was long forest green sleeved shirt that showed off bare shoulders and had black spaghetti strapped to underneath it. "The one you are holding on your right hand." Zoey said, meaning the long sleeved one. "I will pick out the bottom for you." Zoey said looking around shop. Leaf helped Zoey and finally set with white shorts along with red high tops. "Red and green looks good together." Leaf said with smile.

Zoey then went to May to help her pick out the outfits. "You called?" Zoey asked and May looked she was going to panic or something. "I can't pick! I need Dawn!" She said. "You called me?" Dawn came out of nowhere, freaking Zoey and May. "Where did you…. Never mind." May said as she discussed what to wear with her.

May showed Zoey scarlet T-shirt with huge heart made out of pink glitters along with hot pink skirt that obviously Dawn picked out for her. "What do you think?" May asked, posing. "Nice. Not what I pictured but it's fine. You should go for it." Zoey said, getting another call, Misty. "I gotta go now. Misty would probably need more help than you guys. You have Dawn now." Zoey said as she walked off. "Poor Zoey. She has to do the fashion things now." Dawn said.

Zoey walked to Misty as she was wearing pale blue tube top with aloha shirt that she tied right below her chest and she was also wearing dark blue jean skirt. "How do I look?" Misty asked, twirling. Zoey sweatdropped at the twirling part but nodded. "Not bad, I guess I don't have to change you from that. I am really sick of being their mother." Zoey said as she walked away to see Marina, even though she hadn't called. Misty, for the first time, was excited because of the clothes.

Marina was about to call Zoey when she spotted her red headed tomboy friend. "I was about to call you!" She said as she put her phone away. "Well the others were done and I had nothing to do so I decided to just come here." Zoey glanced at the stack of clothes, "I guess you are done?" Marina showed Zoey a mint green tunic which hand brown ends at the bottom part, neckline, and sleeves and there were also brown at the waist part. Small brown ribbon was on the neckline. "I think I can just wear some jeans with it?" Marina asked. "This outfit is nice but it doesn't go well with the others' clothes." Zoey said, almost feeling bad for Marina who looked sad about not getting it. "Whatever, I will get this one too." Marina said cheerfully as she started to go through the clothes.

Marina returned with mint spaghetti strapped top and pale pink skirt. She was wearing a short sleeved denim jacket that only reached the bottom of her breasts. "How does this look?" Zoey smiled, "Much better." Marina purchased the clothes and met her friends at food court. "Where's Dawn?" She asked. "Picking out matching accessories for her clothes." The girls nodded, understanding. Dawn returned and dragged Zoey away, saying, "Our song writer needs to wear some great outfits you know!"

Dawn looked around the huge auditorium. It was her first time to be at broadcasting company. May looked around, getting nosy until a staff told her to get to the backstage. "Meanie." May grumbled as she met with her friends. "I can't hardly believe that the day finally came." The girls were in the outfit that they bought the other day. "Leaf, calm down. You can do that, right?" Dawn soothed her friend. The girls looked at the TV and saw others performing. The cameras were everywhere!

There's a knock and the girls, without giving the door a glance, said, "Come in!" The door opened and the singer, Adelheit entered. The girls glanced and then realized who came in. "Adelheit!" The girls squeaked and May looked like she was about to faint. "Hello! I came here to wish you all good luck. And I am preparing for something for you when you win Sinnoh Idol." Adelheit said with giggle. "What is it?" Marina asked, patting May's shoulder. "It's a secret." Adelheit said with a wink and exited the room saying 'good luck'.

"Next competitor for the Sinnoh Idol is the Divine Diva!" The MC said as the girls walked up to the stage. Nervousness was shown on their faces as they all grabbed the stand mike. The staff held out his fingers, three, two, one….

The music started to play as Dawn took a deep breath.

(A/N the lyrics are official English lyrics but I recommend you listening to Japanese original)

Dawn stared at the audience, smiled confidently, "Not to forget the intangible feelings, I deleted the routine layout."

May smiled, "Grasp the phrase I happened to be humming. Spread secret words of the heart into the sky!"

Dawn and May both sang into the mike,

"I want to tell you, I want to give you."

Dawn sang alone, "Nodes of feelings form a link echoing to the faraway distance."

May sang alone, "Words I want to tell you. Sounds I want to give you."

Together, "Links of feelings form a world. Connecting everything to everywhere."

Misty began singing, "The pure white light feels like you."

Marina joined, "The voice flows through my hand held against the light."

Leaf sang alone, "On the rhythm my fingertips suddenly make."

All three sang together, "Spread all words of the heart into the sky!"

The three beamed as they sang into the mike, toward the crowds,

"I want to tell you. I want to give you."

"Nodes of feelings form a link." Misty sang.

"Reaching over the faraway distance." Marina followed.

Three sang together, "Words that I want to tell you. Sounds I want to give you!"

Leaf sang alone, "Links of feelings for a world,"

The three, "Connecting everything, connecting to everywhere. Aahh! Aahh…."

May started to sing, "I had been playing the tune without a doubt about the rhythm of my days."

Marina, "I had thought the coming of mornings is a given."

Leaf, "The sounds I believe in even for a second, shift my sceneries."

All five, "Tell your world."

"You want to tell. You want to give."

Dawn sang, "Nodes of feeling form a link, echoing to the faraway distance."

All five, "Words you want to tell. Sounds you want to give. Links of feelings form a world. Connecting everything connecting to everywhere."

"Aah, Aah! Aah, aah…."

The audience cheered and clapped. "Who wrote the song? I never heard of it before." A judge asked. "Our friend did." Dawn answered. "Is she here?" Other judge asked. "Yeah, over there." Leaf gladly pointed at the front row. Camera followed Leaf's direction their red friend wearing button up shirt and jeans. "She's good at writing song!" Marina added. Zoey blushed at the compliment. "Well, thank you for such a wonderful performance. The results will come out after the last competitor so please wait a bit." Adelheit flashed at the girls as they bowed, blushing a little, then returned to the waiting room.

Adelheit walked up to her nephew and sat down. "Aren't you the judge?" Paul asked. "I will go there soon. What are you and all of the BLACK ROCK SHOOTER doing here?" She asked. "Gary wanted to see the girls who just sang." Ash blurted out as Gary reached to block the raven haired boy's mouth. Adelheit smirked, "What do you think?" Gary blushed a little. "Our Gary got inspiration from the long brunette and wrote down few lyrics, didn't you Gary?" Drew asked, in a baby tone. "Shut up!" Gary said. "How cute! Can I see it?" "No."

Adelheit reached out and grabbed the paper and started to read. She frowned a little and handed it back to him. "What is the purpose of this song?" She asked. "How he felt when he first spotted the cute brunette." Jimmy snickered. "Shut up!" Gary was red as a ripe tomato. "You should sing it at the guest concert we are going to have. It would kidnap every girl's heart, I think." Adelheit said. "And make him look like a pervert." Jimmy added, doing a high five with Drew. Gary sighed in annoyance. "When's the result coming up?" Gary asked Adelheit. "Wait till the last one finishes, which is the next competitor. Gotta go, bye!" Adelheit left the boys and went to the judges' seats.

Divine Diva watched the last competitor playing, their jaws were open. "Oh my God, they are good." Among the 60 competitors who survived, of course it took three days and our heroines were on the last day, they were the first one that surprised Divine Diva. "Oh no, what if we lose?" Leaf said, her hand covering the mouth. "You have too much imagination." May scolded her friend.

30 minutes later

"This is the last day of the Round 1! We looked at 20 groups of competitors today and the previous 40's result were already shown on that day just in case you've forgotten. Anyway, we are going to announce the result soon, so please, all the competitors come to the stage!" Divine Diva went up to the stage and looked at the judges with nervous expression. Dawn glanced at the last group who performed, the band consisting 2 girls and 2 boys. They looked really confident about their passing this round. Dawn told herself to be confident and looked at the crowd confidently, she saw Adelheit who was smiling up.

"Like we did in previous days, only half of these people will survive. Now the results, they are coming in the screen. The ones who will pass, the name you registered will be shown upon the screen. It's not in alphabetical or score order. Now please do show!" As soon as he said that the names started to appear on the black screen with bright yellow letters. Dawn and her friends prayed for the word 'Divine Diva' to come up. Cheering were coming from some people, which made the girls even more nervous and worried. As the words kept on appearing, soon they saw their group name and shrieked in excitement. Soon the words stopped appearing.

"That's it folks. I am very sorry for the ones who didn't passed but I wish you good luck next time. Stay tune, until next week!" MC said with a wink and the PD clapped, signaling that the filming was over. The girls shrieked as they clapped and jumped up and down. Some were looking at them, their eyes filled with jealousy. Dawn felt a tap on her shoulder, expecting it to be Adelheit she turned around but instead she saw the last competitors. "Hi!" The girl with long pink hair and blue eyes said. "Hi." Dawn said as she and her friends stopped shrieking. "We are Stray Kats. Cats with K in it. Nice to meet you." The girl said as she held out her hand to Dawn.

Dawn took it and they shook it. "Divine Diva, right? Your performance was superb." Another girl who had forest green hair and matching eyes said. "Thank you." Leaf said. "We saw your performance and it was sure awesome!" Marina said, faking a small smile. "Right. And I think you guys are the only ones who are worthy of our opponent, these young beautiful ladies." Guy with spiky black hair and electric blue eyes grabbed Dawn's hand and kissed it. Though Dawn almost freaked out and quickly pulled her hand away. "Sorry. I don't like people kissing my hand." Dawn apologized quickly.

"Forgot to introduce ourselves personally. I am Judy Menzel." The pink haired girl said. "Saddie Diers." The green haired girl said. "Jake Rubins." The boy who kissed Dawn's hand said. "And that's Liam Halkins." Saddie pointed at a boy with shaggy blue hair that covered half of his face. He was bit pale and had deep blue eyes.

"I am Dawn Berlitz." Dawn introduced herself, now heading down the stage. "I'm May. May Maple."

"Leaf Green."

"Misty Aqua."

"I'm her twin, Marina Aqua."

"Nice to meet you." Judy smiled. "Guys!" Zoey came, running toward them. "And who is this?" Judy asked. "She's our music composer, Zoey Noy." Dawn introduced. "Nice to meet you." Saddie said, shaking hands with Zoey now. "I saw your performance. Pretty cool." Zoey complimented. "Thanks." Judy replied. The girls saw Adelheit coming over to them. "We gotta go, bye." Dawn and the girls ran to Adelheit. Judy eyed them and turned away with her friends.

"You did fantastic job. I am sure you will make it to the final round in this pace." Adelheit said, taking off her sunglasses. Her long black hair was now in high ponytail, her black eyes were looking amused. "Thanks." Divine Diva thanked. "My nephew and his friends would be pleased to meet you but I guess this isn't a right time. Maybe later." Adelheit said and with a wave she walked off. "I wonder who her nephew is." May said. "Search it up." Said Leaf. May took out her phone and searched it up and her eyes widened. "Why? Who is it?" "She…. She wants us to meet BLACK ROCK SHOOTER."

The girls couldn't believe that emo and goth looking guy had an aunt like Adelheit. "What's Adelheit's real name?" Marina asked, wondering. "Adel Luminous." May answered. "So is Paul Shinji like her sister's son?" Leaf asked, hugging her pillow. "I guess." May said as she put her phone away. "Girls, we now need to pick our new song. And obviously Zoey isn't going to write us one." Dawn said glancing at her friend who shrugged. "Hey, when's the show coming up?" May asked.

"This Wednesday." Leaf answered.

"Are we watching it?" May asked again.

"We can just watch the part where we were in, so now we can see how we were." Marina said.

"Good idea." Leaf and Misty said.

"So the new song?" Dawn asked, already searching for the new song. "I've already picked one out." Zoey said. "It's a nice song, trust me." The Divine Diva smiled, "We never didn't trust you." "Except for that 'secret weapon' of yours." Leaf added and the girls cracked up.

Ash went to the fridge and took out a bottle of milk, which was 1.5 liters. It had been opened but not much was gone. He opened the cap and started to drink it down. "Hey! Don't drink it with your mouth on it!" Jimmy said. Ash ignored and kept on gulping down until he drank all 1.5 liters of milk. Jimmy gaped at him. "You do realize that expiration date of it passed a week ago." Jimmy said. Ash frowned, "Now to think of it, I think I felt something soft in it." He said as he tossed the bottle into trash can. The others stared at him in disbelief.

"Watcha doin'?" Ash said as he slumped down next to Gary. "Finishing that song." Gary said as he scribbled things down on note sheet and the lyrics, typed down on computer. "Are you sure you don't need my help?" Gary shook his head. "Anyway, tell Adelheit thanks for this wonderful macaroon." The brunette said with huge smile. "That shotacon is somehow trying to lure us in." Paul said as he ate his own. "I'm pretty sure you are his target, not us." Drew told Paul who frowned uncomfortably.

"What's the song about anyway?" Drew asked, taking a bite at his apple. "Love. And the first song sung by the members of BLACK ROCK SHOOTER that is inappropriate for kids." Gary answered and Drew spit the apples out, hitting Jimmy in the face with those. Jimmy wiped them off, glaring at Drew. "Sorry. But what?!" Gary chuckled, "Relax. It doesn't have like direct explanation or something. Just when you keep listening to it, the meaning of the lyrics are." Gary said, typing in the lyrics.

"Yup, that's our perverted Gary." Ash said with a chuckle. Gary shot a glare dagger at him then returned to his composing. "He's doing fairly good job." The brunette said. "Really? We will see at the special concert." Drew said with a smirk. But Gary was now only focused on the song and the girl this song was dedicated to. 'I will be your servant and you will be my master.'

The day for the 2nd round came rather quickly. Divine Diva received lots of good luck texts from their friends at school. They certainly hoped they won't fail them. This time they were in the first day of the 2nd round. The Stray Kats were nowhere to be seen so Dawn guessed that they were doing on the next day. "I'm more relaxed than last week. Weird." May said. "That's because you got used to this tension." Leaf said. The girls took deep breath and exhaled.

The girls looked up at the TV to see how others were doing. Today out of 15 groups, only 10 will make it to the 3rd round and hopefully one of them are the girls. The girls patiently waited for their turn and when they finally heard their name, they walked to the stage and waved at the crowd. There were few cards saying 'DIVINE DIVA' or something like they were the best or things like that. Fortunately the girls earned fans. They smiled and grabbed the stand mikes.

"Hello everyone! I am Dawn from Divine Diva." She said and the people cheered. "This time the song we are going to sing is not my original song. But once we make it to TOP 5 we are going to sing our original song, so please don't be mad at us!" Dawn said. "Are you ready?" Leaf asked. The crowd cheered. "Then here we go!"

~music coming out~

May began, "I see you chatting away with your friends. Wind, please don't take him away… Ah, to somewhere beyond time."

Misty sang, "The future within mirage, I can't see it yet. As we will become adults, where will we end up?"

All of the 5 girls started to sing, "You are the ONE. As an irreplaceable friend, and someone more than that. You gently give me the strength to move forward. For that I love you.

With a feeling that will never change, with this heart that never lies, I just want to tell you,"

Dawn sang alone, "Thank you my ONE."

Leaf sang, "Surely, I expect to see you tomorrow. I travel in times believing so. Ah, to somewhere beyond dreams."

Marina sang, "The word called 'destiny' I don't understand it yet. Because you are so radiant I'm hesitating a little."

All the five girls began to sing into the mike, "You are the one! The shapeless promise and the memory greater than that. I can still believe in them.

Eve at might when we are far away with a feeling that makes up nothing. With this heart that is always stronger. I just want to stay like this, crying the same years."

Dawn sang alone after the interlude, "Thousands of flower petals come pouring down. On us… ooh, ooh~!"

The five began to sing, "You are the one!"

Misty sang, "As an irreplaceable friend.

Marina sang, "And someone more than that."

Leaf sang, "You gently give me the strength to move forward."

All five sang, "For that I love you!"

May sang, "With a feeling that will never change."

Dawn sang, "With this heart that never lies, I just want to tell you."

All 5 sang, "Thank you, my one."

"Lala lala, lalala lala. Lala lala, lala lala. Lala lala lala lala….. Ooh~"

The crowd erupted with cheers and clapping. Dawn smiled at them with happiness feeling her. "Alright people, that was our last one for the day but there is a special guest today!" The MC said as the girls exited. The girls and the other competitors were sent to the front row of the seats to watch the guest.

"This singer is our special guest who will sing the new, unreleased song for us. Can you guess who it is?" Dawn looked at her friends, they all shrugged. "Maybe someone famous." Leaf said. "Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you" drum started to roll as the girls giggled a little. The music started to play a little quietly yet Asian like music played. The music became little loud as the crowd cheered, "Gary Oak of BLACK ROCK SHOOTER!" Gary came out from the backstage, mike in his hand and with a flirtatious smile on his face.

"If it is what you desire, I can be like an obedient dog. With a cord, a rope, or a chain. I will let you tie me up." The girls stared up at him.

"Or if you prefer, I can be like a kitten." He purred a little, "I shall endearingly, with my fingers, feet, and lips, indulge you." Girls got some feelings that this song isn't what you are going to hear at children's show.

"Whoever indulges their passion first, such things do not matter."

"The colors come out like scatter paint, no one can be at their zenith eternally. I want to know more and more profoundly. Today I overcome the transient world without superficial dreaming or intoxication. Let me stain in your colors although it will eventually fade, no matter how fragrant."

Dawn leaned over to Leaf, "Don't tell me there are kids here." Leaf shook her head, "Only people who are older than 13 can enter." Leaf said. Dawn sighed in relief.

"I can be like a camellia flower. With blossoms in the winter with rain or frost on my body, let me display myself for you." Leaf made a slight grossed out face at that part.

"Or if you prefer splendid rose, and want to see it on the verge of falling. With fragrances on the neck and hair, I will be wrapped in the scent of death."

"I have yet to be stained to the bone, with just that much, it is not satisfying."

"The colors come out like a scattered paint, no one can be at their zenith eternally. I want to know more and more profoundly."

"Today I overcome the transient world without superficial dreaming or intoxication I shall change myself for your sake….. Ah….."

Interlude

"The colors come out like a scattered paint. No one can be at their zenith eternally. I want to know more and more profoundly.

"Today I overcome the transient world without superficial dreaming or intoxication. Let me fall into the abyss together with you, whilst fragrant, even if all the way to the bottom!"

The fan girls stood up and cheered. "I didn't like the lyrics but it was a good song." Zoey said. "Yeah, but he is a boy." Leaf said. The others giggled. The MC walked up to Gary for a short interview, "Is there any purpose of this song?" She asked. "Well, I was here last time and I saw a girl who is the inspiration of this song." The crowds started to talk to each other. "Is she here?" The MC asked. Gary looked among the crowd, smirked, "Yeah she is." Gary answered. The MC was about to ask some more but Gary put his right index finger on her mouth, winked and walked away.

"I still don't know what made you want to sing here. She might've not like it." Jimmy said as Gary entered the room. "Don't care. I can be the servant and she can be the master." Gary said as he sat on a couch. The result was about to come up and the boys looked up at the screen.

All of the competitors were on the stage now, looking hopefully up at the screen. "Only ten out of fifteen will survive." May said. "I know that." Dawn replied. When they saw Divine Diva on the screen they shrieked and hugged each other. "Congratulations to the ones who passed and we will see you next week." The MC said with a huge smile. "You know, I think I should win this thing." Maria said as they exited the stage and walked to the waiting room to get their bags. "Why so?" asked the girls. "Remember Adelheit said she will have us meet BLACK ROCK SHOOTER?" The other nodded. "I want to ask who the song was dedicated to." Marina answered. The girls remembered that Marina is a huge fan of that band.

"You think you will know that girl though?" Leaf asked. "Maybe. It could be one of us." Marina said hopefully. "In your dreams." May said with a laugh. Marina crossed her arms as she opened the door. The girls picked their bags up and exited the room. The hallway was surprisingly empty and quiet. "This is weird." Misty said as they walked. "Did you heard that about 3 hours later the stage is going to be used as concert hall?" May asked. "How do you know?" Leaf asked. "I saw that at the Internet news last night. Maybe that's why it's all quiet. The signers are coming and maybe the competitors are all gone out." She said, giving a reasonable reason why this place was so quiet.

The girls heard something and walked toward it. "Um, maybe the singers are already here." Dawn said. "Maybe we can meet them." They walked toward it and in front of the door where they heard the sound was coming stood two bodyguards. Dawn walked up to the bodyguards. "Excuse me, but who are in there?" she asked. "Why are you wondering?" One asked. "Just the song, sounds interesting." Dawn said innocently. The guards looked at each other. "BLACK ROCK SHOOTER is practicing the concert songs in there. Rehearsal is in 30 minutes." Another one answered. "Can we stay and listen here? We are not asking to meet them." Marina came and asked as well. The guards didn't look so sure about it but nodded.

Inside

"Are you going to sing that icky song at the concert?" Drew asked. "Sure, they will love my new song!" Gary said, adjusting his hat. He had changed his clothes from the surprise stage. The guys were all dressed in long white button up shirts, black pants and black high tops. Drew, Paul and Gary had black vest opened and Ash and Jimmy had black tie instead of vest. Gary, Drew and Ash were also wearing black fedora. "Wonder why we don't use our own instruments on our solo songs." Ash said. "Trying something new. It's our first time to sing alone, right?" Jimmy asked and the others, except for Paul, nodded. "A solo song for each of us and then 3 band songs, right?" Jimmy asked and the others nodded.

"So, who's practicing now?" Paul asked. "Me!" Drew said standing up, grabbing his cell phone for a fake mike. "Should I turn the music on now?" Ash asked. Drew nodded and stood in the middle of the room.

Drew looked down, his hand holding the 'mike' on his hat. He tapped his feet according to the rhythm.

Outside

The girls listened to Drew's singing. "That's Drew!" Marina quietly squealed. "Shh!" The other girls shushed her and listened to the song. It was nice, catchy and pretty cool. Drew's voice suited the song very well.

"Don't fill everything around you with despair." The line caught Dawn's ears. A bad memory came to her as she bit her fingertips a little. "We should leave after this song." Dawn told her friends and they nodded. Marina looked like she wanted to stay a bit longer but Dawn's expression was firm and still.

The song was over and the girls stood up to leave. "You girls are not staying for the concert?" A bodyguard asked. The girls shook their head, "We don't have tickets." A bodyguard reached into his pocket and gave the girls 5 tickets. "Why so?" Leaf and Dawn asked, confused. "Adelheit told me to give these to 5 girls from Sinnoh Idol, I guess she meant by you girls." He answered. "Oh, okay."

"So are we going?" Leaf asked as they exited the hall and looked at the huge dome. "Yeah, we should. Let's just stay here and go shopping, eat something and go see the concert." Dawn suggested.

Chapter 4 finally over!

I would like to keep the chapters in about this length (5000~6000 words). What do you think? Too long? Too short?

Also, I picked out Drew's (shown above) and Gary's solo songs for the concert and 2 of the band songs but I want to get some advice.

If you have some idea for the songs tell me the artist's name-title-and who should sing it.

So I need Paul's, Jimmy's, and Ash's solo songs and 3 of the band songs. Please help! Please!

Please review and help me on this!

Thank you for reading
