Miyon practically hopped on the counter and tackled the girl down, "Karin-chan!"

"M-Miyon?!" the girl gasped in disbelief. "My god, I haven't seen you since high school! How have things been?"

"Let's go for a walk." Miyon untied her apron and tossed it to one of the girls behind the counter, "Cover my shift," she yelled to the girl and left the café with Karin before the startled girl could even reply.

"I've been great." Miyon said answering Karin's question, "What about you?"

Karin shrugged, "Can't complain. So what've you been up to?"

Miyon started them walking, "Well, I still write plays. As a matter of fact, one of mine is going to be put on at the Silver Lining."

Karin squealed, "How exciting! When? I wanna go see it!"

"Not sure about details yet. So, anyway, do you see any of the other people we used to hang out with at all?"

"I talk to Himeka-chan and Kazune and Micchi all the time!" Karin informed her, "You and Yuuki are the only ones I haven't seen in awhile, speaking of which, how is Yuuki? I take it you still talk to him?"

A kind of sadness flashed across Miyon's face, "Sort of, he lives in America now."

Karin's eyebrows shot up, "America! What's he doing there?"

"He's in a band." Miyon said, "So, Kazune and Micchi?" Miyon asked wanting to change the subject.

Karin nodded, "Yep, they're both the same as ever." Karin rolled her eyes.

Miyon caught Karin's hand and held it up so she could see the ring shining on Karin's third finger, "So which one's your hubby?" she asked quirking an eyebrow at her friend.

Karin blushed quickly retracting her hand, "Kazune actually… We're engaged."

This little bit of information sent Miyon squealing and rambling off millions of questions.

Lyssa glanced over at Yuuki as she wrote down the last few words to the song. She tapped her pen against the pad of paper that was in her lap, "Hey, Yuuki, you wrote this song for Miyon didn't you?"

Yuuki glanced up sharply, "What?"

"You really miss her don't you?" Lyssa said sympathetically.

"I don't think of her like that." Yuuki said blushing slightly.

Lyssa held her hands up, "Never said you did. But it must be hard for you to never see her."

"I'll see her when we tour to Japan in a week." Yuuki said staring down at his violin instead of at Lyssa.

Lyssa sighed, "You know what I me-"

"Yeah! Of course I miss her like hell!"

Lyssa wasn't even slightly off-put by Yuuki's sudden outburst, "You know. This band is a great opportunity for you and all but you're really talented and you could find as job as a musician in Japan easily."

"So?"

"So, sometimes you have to sacrifice things for love."

"I don't love her."

"Sure, whatever. Just think about what I'm saying. If you really miss her that much." Lyssa stood to leave not expecting a response from Yuuki.

"I doubt she misses me." Yuuki mumbled not intending for Lyssa to hear.

Lyssa flipped around on Yuuki then, "Alright Mr. Drama Queen." Lyssa said snatching Yuuki's cell phone from the table top. She flicked the cell phone opened, found Miyon's number and called her.

"What're you doing?" Yuuki asked suspiciously.

Lyssa didn't answer as the phone rang in her ear.

The line picked up on the other end, "Hello?"

"Yeah, hey, Miyon, it's Lyssa."

"Oh, um, Lyssa, hey, what's going on?"

"Yuuki's going all emo on me. Could you please just tell him you miss him before he throws himself out a window?" Lyssa put her speaker phone and held the cell out so Yuuki could hear her response.

"What?! Lyssa what the hell are you talking about? Of course I miss Yuuki! Yuuki? Can you hear me? If you jump out a window I swear I'll kill you!"

Lyssa had to laugh at that and even Yuuki cracked a smile.

"I miss you too, Mi." Yuuki yelled loud enough for Miyon to hear.

"You'd better! Oh and Karin's with me right now and she says she misses you too."

"Karin!"

"Yep, I ran into her at the café and guess what? She and Kazune are getting married! You're going to be here around that time for your tour so you'd better come to the wedding. The whole group will be there and we all miss you so much!"

It took Yuuki a second to swallow all that information, "Wait, wait, wait, she's marrying Kazune!"

"Jealous?"

"What? No! Why would I be jealous of Kazune? Why the hell would I want to marry Karin?"

"Well, you've never had that great of taste in girls." Yuuki could hear Karin shouting protests in the background.

Yuuki chuckled, "Hey, Mi, you're going to my concert right? Did you get your backstage pass yet?"

"What? Backstage pass?! You got me a backstage pass!"

"Lyssa did."

"Welcome." Lyssa input.

Miyon giggled, "Why is someone always listening to our conversations?"

Yuuki glanced at Lyssa meaningfully, "There's no privacy here."

Lyssa just stuck her tongue out at Yuuki.

"Anyway, let's make a deal. I'll go to your show if you to Karin's wedding."

"I was going to go to Karin's wedding regardless but sure, deal."

"Kay, got to go but see ya then," Miyon was talking really fast now, "Oh and Karin says 'hi' and also, no need to get depressed. Enjoy you're time with the band while you can 'cause as soon as you come back to Japan, I'm gonna kidnap you and you may not see them again."

Yuuki laughed, "Can't wait."

"Oh and if you start contemplating jumping out a window again just call me kay? I miiiiiiiiiiss yooooooouuuu." Miyon said prolonging her words.

"Miss ya too, Mi."
