Cecil: Welcome back everyone!

Me: Grr!

Cecil: What's wrong?

Me: My cousins have been driving me crazy all day! It's a miracle I actually got this done!

Cecil: Poor Camilla.

Me: Just get to the disclaimer before they find me in my room.

Cecil: Disclaimer: Camilla does not own Shugo Chara or any of its characters. Camilla also does not own any of the songs that were used in the story.

(Nadeshiko's POV)

"You sure you told Rima-chan 7:00. It's already 7:15! Where is she?" Aww, Nagi really wants to see Rima-chi.

"Yeah, she just texted that she's coming now."

A few moments later

"Hey, sorry I'm late. My dad was giving me a lecture on how I have to take care of the house while he's away on a business trip for the next four days."

"It's okay Rima-chi. Sanjou-san tell the driver to go."

She banged on the window separating the passengers and the driver and screeched, "STEP ON IT!"

I can see what Utau-san means by she feels sorry for her fiancé.

I turned my attention back on Rima-chi and Nagi.

"So you're dad just decides to give you a 15 minute lecture right before you leave for the concert."

"Oh, I wish it was only 15 minutes. He started giving me the lecture at 6:20. He wasn't even done when I left. When he turned his back to me, I ran out the door."

A 55 minute lecture? Wow.

"What happens when your-" And Nagi just interrupts me.

"If I was your dad, I'd probably do that too. It's a surprise that he's putting you in charge, though; if he's putting you in charge he might've as well put Rikka in charge."

Just wow Nagi. Wow.

"Anyways, as I was saying-" Now Rima-chi interrupts me.

"Shut up Nagi- I mean Namihiko." She paused and then with a sly smile continued. "I told you I'd get proof that you're a cross dresser."

"Nadeshiko!" Oh, so now I'm back into the conversation.

"Yes?"

"Why'd you tell her I was a cross dresser?"

"Because I-"

"Because she wanted to," Rima finished for me.

"She wasn't going to say that!"

"Yes, she was!"

"Fine. Then she was going to say you're short!"

"And then she was going to wonder how did ever she get stuck with a brother like you!" Actually that is true. I wasn't going to say it, but I was thinking it.

Then I'd wonder; how did I get jammed in the middle of this? Please, let's just arrive at the arena already.

(Yua's POV)

Utau-sama and I saw Rima, Nadeshiko, Nagihiko and our agents enter backstage.

"Remember the plan," Utau whispered. I gave a nod.

We walked toward them and immediately started panicking. They had on bizarre looks on their faces.

"Yua-tan, Utau, are you okay?" Rima asked.

And the plan starts…now. "No. We forgot to get our pre-ritual concert tea. Do you mind getting them for us, Riri-chi?" Utau and I put on a face to make it look convincing and we started flapping our hands up and down.

"Okay. But Yua-tan isn't this your first concert? Why do you need a pre-ritual for your first concert?" Crap.

I turned to Utau-sama for some help. She gave me a wink signaling she had an idea. "It is Rima, but to my logic, all singers should have a pre-ritual before beginning anything, especially if it's before a big concert."

Hopefully, Rima will buy that.

"Okay, then. Where can I get it?"

"Our agents will show you the way." Utau's agent and my agent led Rima to where the food and drinks were located backstage.

When they were out of sight we were at ease. Utau-sama went toward Nagihiko and Nadeshiko with me following.

"Utau-san, I didn't know you had a pre-ritual concert tea?" Nadeshiko asked.

"We don't," I said barely above a whisper. "We have a plan and we need you to help us. Think you can handle it."

The two twins looked at each other and said at the same time, "You can count on us." Freaky. They actually say things simultaneously like other twins.

"Okay. This is what you'll do."

Is it me, or do I just love making plans for Rima?

(Rima's POV)

Pre-ritual concert tea, my ass. I know they're planning something. I bet when I get to where the food and drinks are located, I won't find their tea.

Five minutes later

Never mind. I spoke too soon. They actually had Utau's and Yua's pre-ritual tea. I better get these to them before they cool.

Another five minutes later

"Thanks Riri-chi."

"Yeah, thanks Rima."

They chugged it down so fast, I don't even think they drank it. They gave their cups to their agents while grabbing the microphones from them.

We started walking toward the actual stage where they were performing. Nagihiko, Nadeshiko and I were watching from the side.

Once we got there, the announcer proclaimed, "Hello Tokyo! How is everyone today?" The audience went into a roar of shouting and applause. "That's good. Is everyone excited?" Again, the audience went crazy with cheers and shouts. "I'll take that as a yes. Now before we bring out Tokyo's pop star Hoshina Utau, please welcome her opening act, Sakurai Yua."

Yua had her wavy orange hair down, but had two clips on. She had on a white dress with short pink free-flowing sleeves and a ruffly pink bottom. She also had on light blue heels. (AN:/ Picture on profile.) She started walking toward the stage, but stopped and turned around at us. "Wish me luck."

"Luck," we all murmured.

As she got on stage, she began with an introduction. I rotated toward Nagihiko. "Aren't you supposed to be filming the concert for Tadase-kun and Kukai-kun?"

He looked surprised when I asked him. Probably because we've been yelling at each other since the car ride here. "No, Utau-san's got it covered." He pointed to the area between the stage and the audience. Sure enough, there were cameramen.

I nodded and we continued watching Yua. "So now I'll begin with my first song. My first song is "Snowstorm." Enjoy!" (AN:/ I do not own!)

The music started to play and Yua began to sing.

After Snowstorm

The audience was clapping and shouting louder than when she first got on stage.

"Now, for my next song. The title is "Dame!" Enjoy!" (AN:/ I do not own!)

Weird. I've never heard her sing that song before. It must be one of her new songs.

After Dame!

I peeked into the audience. There were people going crazy and getting revved up for next song. Teenagers these days.

"I hope you like that. That was my name new song "Dame!" Next, is "Exist." (AN:/ I do not own!)

Alright! I like this song. Beside me Nadeshiko and Utau were dancing to the beat. They're lucky the audience can't see them.

Nagihiko was just listening to Yua singing and having fun on stage. He saw that I was looking at him. "Yes, Rima-chan?" Oh, so he's nice to me again.

"How come we needed tickets to be at the concert, but we don't need backstage passes to be here?"

"I don't know. That's how it works I guess."

I faced the stage once more. The song wasn't over, but the singing was. Yua had on a face of pure happiness. I'm really glad I got to be here.

The spectators clapped and cheered and did the high pitched whistle. As I peered over at them again, I saw them doing the wave. Is this what always happens?

Yua was talking again. "Okay, I know I said I'll be singing five songs, but for right now I'll be singing four. My fifth song will be a surprise. Anyways, after this song Hoshina Utau will be taking the stage."

Utau was standing next to me exclaimed, "Shit!"

The three of us looked at her and realized why. According to me, Utau was enjoying listening to Yua that she forgot that she had to get ready. She ran to her dressing room. She has about four minutes to get ready. Good luck Utau.

"For my fourth song, I hope all of you know it. Everyone get ready for "Secret Princess." (AN:/ I do not own!)

No! Not that song. Back in Kyoto, that song was all Yua-tan ever rehearsed when I was with her. She picked that song on purpose.

As if she could read my mind, Yua rotated where we were standing. "Before I begin, I'd like to dedicate this song to a good friend who I made listen to it non-stop."

She winked at me and the song began to play. During the song, the multi-color lights were flashing everywhere on the stage. A couple of times, it shone in my eyes. I might need glasses after this.

One minute before Yua's song was done, Utau came out. "Did I make it?"

"Yup, with one minute to spare."

We turned around and I was shocked. It took her three minutes to get dressed, but she looked like it took her an hour.

Her blonde hair was wavy and was held in pigtails. She was wearing a black, purple and white one-shoulder dress with a purple spaghetti strap underneath. The black sleeve was all ruffled out. She was wearing a light purple belt to complete it and black heels. (AN: Picture on profile.) "Well?"

"Utau, you look great," Nadeshiko and I chimed.

"Thanks."

We turned back on stage. Yua had finished her song and was introducing Utau. "Now the moment everyone has been waiting for. Tokyo, give it up for your pop star, Hoshina Utau!"

Utau walked on the stage as Yua walked off. "Good evening Tokyo. Are you ready to party?" The audience got all excited. I will never get used to it.

Yua now was by our sides. "So…how did I do?"

"You did great Yua-tan." I gave her a hug. "One question though. What song are you singing last?"

"That Riri-chi, you'll find out when the time is right." Yua looked on stage to where Utau was starting to sing her song "Sing Forever." (AN:/ I do not own!)

I glanced at Nadeshiko and Nagihiko; they shrugged their shoulders and went back to paying attention to Utau.

I'm probably over-reacting. I watched and listened intently to Utau singing.

Forty-five minutes later

Amazing! Utau is such an incredible singer. I can tell she worked really hard. Her song, "Innocent Starter," came to an end.

She turned on our way before speaking into the microphone. "I don't know about you, but I think we should bring out Sakurai Yua for her last song. Does everybody agree?"

The audience began to chant, "Yua! Yua! Yua!"

Yua took her place on stage yet again. "Thank you Utau. Great singing by the way. Let's give it up for Hoshina Utau!"

Now the audience chanted, "Utau! Utau! Utau!"

Yua calmed the people down. As she did, a piano was raised on stage. What is Yua's last song?

"Okay. I bet all of you are wondering what my last song is. Well, let me begin by telling you it's a new song that I've been working on. Actually, I've been working on it with a friend."

A friend? I don't like where this is going.

"And the truth is, we only wrote this song yesterday, but I wanted to test it out on you guys. You see, my friend moved recently to Tokyo and when I found out that I was having a concert here, I was ecstatic. When I showed up at her house, she embraced me wholeheartedly."

Let's get this straight. If she's talking about me and I'm pretty sure she is, I did not embrace her wholeheartedly.

"So all in all, Utau thought it would be really special if I sing the song we wrote together as my last song. But then, I thought wouldn't it be even better if my friend came out on stage and sang it with me? And so that's what's going to happen."

…

SHE SAID WHAT NOW?

I turned around to Utau, Nadeshiko and Nagihiko. They gave me cunning looks.

"Singing "Two Worlds Collide" with me, everybody please give it up for my best friend, Mashiro Rima." (AN:/ I do not own!)

OH HELL NO! Nothing or no one will make me go out there…except for Utau, Nadeshiko, Nagihiko and Utau's and Yua's manager pushing me on stage.

I was now on stage and was about to run back, but they blocked the entrance and I could escape from the other entrance because it was blocked by the piano. If I wanted to though, I could jump off the stage. Then again, I won't because this concert would most likely end up TV.

I made my way toward Yua. "Everybody, Mashiro Rima."

"Yua-tan what are you doing," I whispered.

"Just go along with it Riri-chi. You have nothing to worry about. Just pretend we're back at your house writing the song. Now take a seat."

"Wait, so I'm only playing the piano."

"For right now. Hurry while the crowd is still applauding."

I took a seat on the piano. Hopefully, I won't mess up. I did practice this after school for Nadeshiko. But if I do mess up and everyone makes fun of me, remind me to kill Yua-tan later. And even if I don't mess up, still remind me to kill Yua-tan.

To calm my nerves, I followed Yua's advice and pretended that we were in my house. I touched the keys and the band behind me started to play to. After a few seconds of the intro, Yua began to sing.

Yua:

She was given the world
So much that she couldn't see
And she needed someone
To show her who she could be

And she tried to survive
Wearing her heart on her sleeve
But I needed you to believe

Yua took a seat next to me as she began the chorus.

You had your dreams, I had mine
You had your fears, I was fine
It showed me what I couldn't find
When two different worlds collide

La da-da da-da!

As she finished singing the last line, she quickly gave me the microphone and put her hands on the piano.

I told her I am NOT going to sing. But then, she gave me a pleading puppy dog face so I had to sing. I got up from the seat and immediately started shaking. Oh God! As I started to sing my part, it felt like I was going to faint at any moment.

Me:

I was scared of it all
Watching from far away
And I was given a role
Never knew just when to play

Miraculously as I concluded the first part, I felt less scared. Who knew that was even possible for me at this moment?

And I tried to survive
Living her life on my own
Always afraid of the throne
But I've given you strength to find hope!

You had your dreams, I had mine
I had my fears, you were fine
It showed you what you couldn't find
When two different worlds collide

Just then, Yua got off the piano and took the microphone that was on top of the piano. She stood beside me. As she sang her part, I sang my part.

Yua: Me:

She was scared, unprepared I was scared, unprepared
And lost in the dark, falling apart And lost in the in the dark, falling apart
I can survive with you by my side You can survive with me by your side

Together:

We're gonna be alright
(We're gonna be alright)
This is what happens when two worlds collide

There was a short interlude, the music started to blare. As it did, I forgot that I was at a concert performing live. I just thought back to the days Yua-tan and I were together. We sang once more. Yua sung her lyrics while I sang mine.

Yua: Me:

You had your dreams, I had mine You had your dreams, I had mine
You had your fears, I was fine I had my fears, you were fine
It showed me what I couldn't find It showed you what you couldn't find
When two different worlds collide When two different worlds collide

For the last chorus we sang the same one.

Together:

You had your dreams, I had mine
(You had your dreams, I had mine)
You had your fears, I was fine
It showed me what I couldn't find
When two different worlds collide

When two different worlds…

Collide…

Even though, I said I would kill Yua after this, I'm not anymore. Yua-tan's a good friend and I'm lucky to have her. I'll sing with her anytime now…as long as she tells me first.

The audience erupted in applause, yelling, whistle blowing and chanting. I turned my way to Yua and we gave each other a great big hug.

From backstage we heard Utau saying, "Intro. Me. Now. Please."

We gazed over the audience. Yua-tan let me do the honors. "Well, I hope you liked that Tokyo. And I know something you'll like even more…give it up again for Hoshina Utau."

Utau made her way on the stage. "Thank you Sakurai Yua and Mashiro Rima for that wonderful friendship song. And now is everybody ready to go crazy. Well, go crazy with this song "Meikyuu Butterfly." (AN:/ I do not own!"

The audience cheered as we left the stage. Man, those teenagers must've had a lot of sugar to be that hyper.

"Aww, good job Rima-chi. You sing like an angel. You too, Yua-chan," Nadeshiko commented.

"Thank you," we simultaneously said.

Nagihiko made our way to us. "First off, that was a nice song. Second, Yua-tan, great job on singing all of your songs and of the plan. Third, Rima-chan.."

What is he going to say?

"When you were playing the piano, you hit the wrong key a couple of times. When you first started singing, you were a little off-key. And-"

I stomped on his foot…hard. I uttered a "jerk" before walking away somewhere. What does he know anyways?

(Nagihiko's POV)

Thirty minutes later

I know what you're thinking…that what I said to Rima-chan was slightly unpleasant, but what I was going to say next was…that I was joking.

Geez, sometimes girls take things a little too seriously.

So after Rima-chan left, my loving sister and Yua yell at me and tell me to go find her.

But, in the process of trying to find her, I get locked in a closet that has the light switch outside and only opens from the outside. What kind of design is that?

I'm so bored. How long until the concert is over?

Ten minutes later

I was occupying myself by twiddling my thumbs, although it was dark and I couldn't see, until I heard the door creak open.

I was about to jump up and tell the person to leave the door open, but then the person just had to be clumsy. I heard a screech, a loud thud and the door closing shut. There go my hopes of leaving the closet.

"Ow! That hurt!"

That voice…could it be?

"Where am I? Why am I in a closet? At least I'm away from that Fujerki."

Yeah, it's Rima-chan.

"Where's the light switch?" Right now, I'm thinking Rima-chan was feeling for the light switch that was sadly outside of the closet.

She finally ended up touching my hand.

"Who are you? Wait, don't answer that." I felt her coming closer to me. I heard her take a whiff. "Nadeshiko, what are you doing in a closet?"

Nadeshiko? She thinks I'm Nadeshiko. Then again, Nadeshiko did make me use her shampoo and conditioner so I have her scent. I better pretend to be Nadeshiko.

I took in a breath and tried doing my best Nadeshiko voice. "Oh, hi Rima-chi. I have a good explanation for being in a closet. I went looking for you and this closet was the last place I looked, but when I got here, I tripped. I didn't realize until the door closed, but the light switch is outside and the door only opens from the outside. We're stuck here until someone finds us." Surely, that's believable.

"Y-you m-m-mean we-we're st-st-stuck in the-the d-dark until s-s-someone comes?"

"Yes, why?" Is it me, or did she sound scared?

In a few moments, she gave a yelp and came closer to me and started gripping me tightly.

"Rima-cha…I mean Rima-chi, what's wrong?"

"You know when I told you about my kidnapping accident, I was trapped in the dark for a long time." She paused, "It's happening all over again." She squealed and buried her head in my chest. Rima…

I'm not that surprised about the kidnapping accident; I already knew. Rima-chan didn't tell me though, Yua did.

How should I make her feel better? I crossed my legs and put her head in my lap. "Don't worry Rima-chi, I'm here. I'll protect you." I stroked her hair lightly. She seemed to relax.

"Thank you, Nadeshiko."

A couple minutes later

Okay, here I am with Rima-chan in the dark, in a closet. I'm still debating whether I should tell her I'm not Nadeshiko. If I don't, things will be at peace. If I do, then... Never mind, I'm not telling her.

"Nadeshiko," Rima spoke softly.

"Yes?"

"This is random, but do you think your brother will fail the final exam on purpose?"

She's talking about me. How would Nadeshiko answer this? "Uh, I'm not sure Rima-chi. My brother has a mind of his own." Mind of my own? Yeah, right.

"Oh. Did I ever tell you why I'm afraid to fail?"

Did she tell Nadeshiko? "Uh, I'm sure you did Rima-chi, but would you refresh my memory."

"Well, last time I got bad grades, my parents fought and I was miserable. They didn't pay attention to me, they didn't want me to hang out with friends and they wanted me to always stay home. Now, if I got a bad grade, I'm afraid that my parents will fight again. I'm not only worried about me, but I'm worried about Rikka." She whimpered. In a few seconds, I felt teardrops.

"It's okay. Don't cry. I'll make sure, he won't fail." I'll make I won't fail.

"Thank you Nadeshiko. You're a great friend."

In a few seconds, her breathing became soft and peaceful. She was asleep.

Some time later…

Is the concert over yet? Utau-san better not be doing encores.

I reached into my pocket for phone. Yes, I have a phone. Too bad, there's no signal in this damn closet. It was 11:00.

"11:00!"

Oops. I forgot Rima-chan's still sleeping. I shone the light from my phone on her face. I made sure that she couldn't see my face.

Rima-chan was still asleep on my lap. She was sucking her thumb. I have to say, it was pretty cute. I kept watching her. Oh God, I feel like Ikuto-san. She took her thumb out of her mouth, so I thought she was awake, but she crinkled her face and rubbed her nose with her thumb. She gave a little sneeze and then kept sucking her thumb.

Okay, that did it. Rima-chan is so adorable. It was like a bunny.

For some reason after that, I had a sudden urge to do something I wouldn't normally do. Yeah, I feel like Ikuto-san now. I inched my face toward hers, but I stopped.

Outside the door, I heard voices.

In a matter of a few moments the lights turned on and the door opened revealing three very shocked girls.

"NAGI! YOU PERV! WHAT DID YOU DO TO POOR RIMA-CHI?"

I quickly turned to Rima-chan who was stirring. She'll wake up soon and I don't want her to know that she was with me the whole time.

"Nagi, I'm glad you two are friends again, but…are you listening to me!"

"Nadeshiko, come here now, please." Surprisingly she did as she was told. I told her to sit like me and I put Rima-chan in her lap. She gave a "what the hell" look.

Right when I got up, Rima-chan woke up. Perfect timing.

"Oh, hi Nadeshiko." She rotated on her side. "Oh, hi Yua-tan, Utau." And she just doesn't say my name. She got up. "What time is it?"

"Time to go," Utau-san answered. Utau-san, Rima-chan and Yua walked ahead of us.

Nadeshiko stopped me. "What did you do to her?"

"I'll explain later. Just agree with everything she says."

"Okay, but you should tell Yua-chan and Utau-san that."

Shit. I forgot about them.

I caught up to them when they were about to exit the door.

I pulled Utau-san and Yua aside. "I'll explain later, but whatever Rima-chan mentions about the closet, say that I was-"

"Watching the concert the whole time and that Nadeshiko was with her," Yua said.

"How did you know?"

"Well, we know if Rima knew that it was you in the closet, you would die," Utau replied.

"Thanks."

"Let's go!" Nadeshiko exclaimed as she caught up to us.

Utau-san, Nadeshiko, Yua and I went to the limo where Rima-chan was waiting for us.

11:45 P.M.

"Why are we here?" Rima questioned.

We were outside the restaurant Soba-ya. (AN:/ I do not own!)

"We're hungry!" Utau and Yua shouted.

"Okay. Calm down. Yua-tan, it's almost midnight, my parents are probably ."

"Don't stress Riri-chi, I'll just say, we stopped by food. They won't blame you for that and it's the truth."

"Fine. I am kind of hungry, but do we have to bring him along." I'm guessing Rima-chan's still pissed at me.

Utau-san and Yua were already out of the limo while Nadeshiko was getting out. She turned toward us and grinned. "That's it. You two aren't coming out until you make up. Bye." She closed the door.

Rima-chan hastily went to the door and tried to open it, but it wouldn't open. "Nadeshiko! GET BACK HERE AND OPEN THE DOOR! Nadeshiko!"

She gave up after a few more minutes. She sat down across from me and pouted.

Okay. I can do this. I faced her. "Rima-chan, are you still mad at me?"

"No, I'm not mad. I'm ecstatic that you criticized my playing and singing…YES I'm mad!" Sometimes, Rima-chan's sarcastic tone is a bit too much.

"Rima-chan, I was just joking." For the first time since we were watching the concert, she looked me in the eye. "You weren't off-key or you didn't hit the wrong note. Yua did though, but don't tell her that. Anyways, Rima-chan you play and sing the same way you look."

"Which is?"

"Beautifully," I answered with a smile. At that moment I could tell Rima-chan blushed. "Do you forgive me?"

"Fine." She smiled too.

"We better get inside the restaurant now."

"Yeah, but how do we get out?"

"Uh, Rima-chan, Nadeshiko only pushed that thingy down." I pointed to what it was. (AN:/ I don't remember what it's called.)

"Oh." She pulled it up and opened the door. We got out of the limo and headed for the restaurant. "Isn't the restaurant supposed to be closed?"

"Yeah, but I bet you Yua and Utau-san used their pop star magic to bribe the owner into opening it later."

"You're right." We got to the entrance. I was about to open the door, but Rima-chan tugged at my hair.

"What was that for?"

"I don't know. I just wanted to do that." She presented an innocent smile.

"Okay. Let's get into the restaurant before the others think you killed me."

I opened the door for her and we saw Yua, Nadeshiko and Utau-san at a table stuffing their face full udon noodles.

Of course. Some things will never change.

To be continued…

Me: This chapter was horrible.

Cecil: No, it wasn't. It was average.

Me: Thanks Cecil, that makes me a whole lot better.

Cecil: Well, just blame your cousins.

Me: Yeah, I should. *Starts blaming cousins*

Cecil: I hope you enjoyed. Until next time.

I'm sorry for the horrible chapter. My cousins came to visit while I was halfway done and they messed up my writer's mojo. Anyways, to make up for the horrible chapter, I'll tell you something about the next chapter. The next chapter's title will be "Possibly a Romance."

P.S. Thanks for the reviews. They feel like a hug from a friend.
