The girls were sitting around in the bus, relaxing, when someone stepped out of the front of the bus.

"Ms. Umeko! It's nice to see you," Yozora said.

The woman smiled. "Hello Yozora. Sorry, it seems I haven't introduced myself." She said to the others. "My name is Umeko Hana, I'm Ms. Ran's assistant."

"It's nice to meet you." They chorused.

She waved them off. "Well I came to tell you girls that we are going to stop in a little bit to have lunch."

"Okay, thank you," Yozora answered, while Ms. Umeko went back to the front.

About ten minutes later, the bus rolled to a stop at a plaza with a cafe. The girls got off their bus and the boys got off from theirs.

As they were stretching and waiting for some instructions from Ms. Ran, Yume shivered. "It's chilly here."

Laura glanced at her and noticed that she didn't have the red jacket she had on in the morning, and instead was just in her halter tank top and skirt. "Where's your jacket?"

Yume gazed at the retreating buses. "I accidentally left it in the bus."

Laura sighed and shook her head. "Oh Yume..."

Yume stood dancing around in the cold, being reprimanded by the others.

Subaru came up to them, as he did, Ako quickly dived behind Mahiru.

Yume didn't notice, until something large and warm engulfed her. "Huh?" She turned around to see Subaru, with his jacket off, around her instead.

"You should be more responsible." He said simply.

Yume blushed and sank into the jacket. "How was I supposed to know how cold it was?" She mumbled.

Subaru didn't respond, because Ms. Ran approached the group of teens. "Alright ladies and gentlemen, we can go inside now."

The large group gratefully went inside the warm cafe, ready for lunch.

Yozora pulled Asahi and Mahiru with her to their own table. Yume, Laura, and Ako took their own table and Subaru, Nozomu, and Kanata sat at another beside them.

A waitress had come and taken all of their orders, leaving them all.

Nozomu smiled at the girls. "Are you girls excited about the first show? Getting any nerves?"

Laura smirked. "Excited, yes. Nervous? No way. We can pull this off."

Ako stuttered. "Y-y-yes!" Her face was red at being in the presence of Subaru.

Yume turned to Ako, concern written on her face. "Ako! Are you okay?"

Kanata stared at Ako as well. "Yea, because you look nervous."

Ako snapped out of her blush and glared at Kanata. "What do you know?" She huffed and looked away from the conversation.

Kanata blinked in surprise at her reaction, then let out a laugh under his breath.

Subaru snickered. "And what about you?" He asked, looking at Yume.

"Oh, well I guess I am a little nervous." Yume answered honestly.

Laura put her hand on Yume's shoulder. "Don't worry, Yume. You'll do great. After all, you can't be my rival if aren't!"

Yume stared at Laura and nodded. "Yea! You're going down!"

Laura twitched her eyebrow. "Well... it's not a competition Yume."

Yume laughed nervously. "Oh right. Sorry!"

"Are you two in song class, then?" Nozomu asked.

Laura nodded. "Yea, we are."

A few tables away, Mahiru was sitting with her brother and sister. "Big sis, why couldn't we just sit with the others?"

Yozora smiled. "Well I wanted the three of us to enjoy time together."

Mahiru sighed. "Are we going to take another selfie now?"

Yozora blinked. "Well, I was going to wait until our food came..."

Mahiru blushed. "Okay! That's fine!" She didn't want it to seem like she was looking forward to the picture.

Asahi laughed. "Ah Mahiru, you haven't changed a bit!"

Mahiru pouted. "What's that supposed to mean, bro?"

Asahi just patted her, grinning.

The waitresses arrived with all of the food they ordered.

Yozora told her siblings to scoot closer. "Family lunch time!" She took out her camera. "Say cheese!"

"Cheese!" Asahi smiled brilliantly.

"Cheese..." Mahiru said, less enthusiastically.

Asahi then began to eat his food. He glanced up at Mahiru for a moment, when something clicked. He gasped. "Lunch!"

Mahiru frowned. "Yes... We're eating lunch."

Asahi moved his bright eyes to Yozora, who seemed to understand.

"No, Lunch." Yozora said. "Morning, is talking about our nicknames. Remember?"

Mahiru's eyes widened. "Oh right."

"Yea! Yozora was Dinner, I was Morning, and you were Lunch." Asahi said.

"Why did we name you Morning? That doesn't make sense." Mahiru commented. "You should've been Breakfast."

Yozora laughed. "I guess that's just how we decided it. Now, let's eat Lunch, Morning."

At the other table, Nozomu spoke to Ako. "You seem to like eggs."

Kanata snickered.

Ako turned red. "N-no! I mean, yes! I felt like eating eggs today!" She sent a glare at Kanata after saying so.

Laura sighed at Ako. "It's okay Ako."

She just nodded and looked down, focusing on her meal.

"And what about you, boiled octopus?" Subaru asked. "Do you like to eat octopus?" He paused, putting a finger to his chin. "Or would that be cannibalism?" He hummed in thought.

Yume frowned in anger. "I'm not an octopus! And I don't like to eat them either!" She sighed. "I love sweets!"

"Sweets?" Subaru asked. "Maybe that's why you're so heavy!"

Yume turned red. "Hey!"

Laura giggled next to her, which Yume heard.

"Laura! You too?"

"Sorry Yume, but you do eat a lot of sweets." Laura explained.

"Why is that, I wonder?" Nozomu said.

Laura looked at him and tilted her head in thought. "Well, maybe it's because Yume's parents own a bakery..."

"A bakery?" Asahi said as he and Mahiru and Yozora approached them, finished with their own meals.

Yume smiled. "Yes. My parents own one. It's called Rainbow Confectionary."

Asahi and Yozora's eyes widened and sparkled. "Rainbow Confectionary?" They cried together.

"You mean the Rainbow Confectionary?" Asahi pressed on.

"The Rainbow Confectionary famous for their chocolate brownies as rich as ganache?" Yozora asked, now holding Yume's hands.

Yume jumped. "Y-yea..."

"It's just as they say." Mahiru said, smirking. "The chocolate brownies are as smooth and delicious as their ganache."

Asahi and Yozora moved away from Yume and faced Mahiru.

"What? You mean you've had it before?" Yozora cried.

Mahiru nodded, a smooth smirk on her face. "Yup. Yume let us go."

Asahi spun around and grabbed Yume's hand. "Dear Yume, please allow my sister and I to visit your bakery!"

Yume gasped and her face started to heat up. "Uh, uh... Sure..."

He let go of her hand and cheered with Yozora. "We can go!"

Yume watched the two siblings cheer. "It's an open bakery... You don't need an invitation..." She mumbled.

Laura started laughing with Ako and Mahiru at their display.

Nozomu and Kanata laughed too, then Kanata caught a glance of Subaru's expression. "Why are you so grumpy?"

Subaru huffed. "I'm not."

Kanata smirked at his friend and lowered his voice. "It wouldn't be because of Asahi, would it?" He said, talking about how Asahi had grabbed Yume's hand.

Subaru frowned at his group member. "Of course not. Why would the bother me?"

Kanata laughed lightly and looked away. "I suppose you're right."

Then, Ms. Ran appeared. "Okay good. Looks like everyone is done eating! Well hurry up and get cleaned, we need to hit the road again!"

They all followed instructions, cleaning up and then getting into their buses.

As Yume was about to board the bus, she suddenly remembered. "Oh!" She ran off.

Laura noticed. "Hey! Yume! Where are you going?" She shouted.

Yume spun around while running and waved a hand. "I'll be right back!" She ran to the boys' bus, where they too were boarding. "Wait!"

The four stars turned and saw her approaching.

"Subaru!" Yume called.

He watched her run up to him and lean over to catch her breath. "Hey, what's wrong? Ms. Ran won't be happy if you keep us off schedule!"

Yume straightened and looked surprised. "Oh no!" She quickly threw off the jacket that she wanted to return and shoved it into his arms. With a quick thanks, she ran off in the same direction she came again.

Subaru held his jacket in his arms with surprise. "Uh?" He sounded, confused.

Behind him, the others laughed at the girl.

Hours later, the girls were on the couches in the bus discussing their first performance.

"-Chose that one." Yume was saying. She was about to continue, but Laura raised her hand to stop her.

"Do you hear that?" Laura said, looking around with a frown.

Yume, Ako, and Mahiru all silenced, and looked around as well.

Yozora smiled at them and gingerly rose. She moved to the window near the couch. "I know what you're hearing." She gestured out the window. "Take a look," Yozora said as the girls came over to look, "it's your fans."

The girls gaped at the large crowd that was around the path of the sidewalk. They were cheering, but it was muffled through the bus.

Yume grinned and rushed forward, unlocking the window and sliding it open. The screams were loud, but Yume stuck herself out the window and started waving. "Hello everyone!" Yume screamed at them.

Laura, Ako, Mahiru, and Yozora looked surprised for a minute, before sharing smiles. Laura moved forward to get beside Yume, while Ako and Mahiru went to the opposite side. Yozora went to the window beside Mahiru and Ako. The girls waved and greeted their fans as they rode into the venue.

Chapter Word Count: 1581

I'll ask the same thing as the same last chapter- what classes do you think each M4 boy is in? Also, if anyone has a "request", or something, I'd be willing to listen! I kinda need inspiration for Subaru x Yume, so any ideas will be appreciated!
