Hehe, -laughs nervously- Yes, very very short, nya, I told you though! And it'll probably be even longer till chapter eleven is updated, two weeks to three probably. Gomen! I'm going to be writing stuff for my old school's drama club (I'm now homeschooled, drama is like, one of the only things I miss) so it'll be a little longer for all of my stuff 'till that's over with.

Oh, and if any of you like Princess Princess or Princess Princess D. I've a new short story (that I may or may not continue) about Otoya's ninth birthday, if you at all care. –hinthint-… or know what I'm talking about.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, nya!

Chapter Ten- Nearing the End


-

Slow music began.

"Unya, don't tell me it's going to be another song that makes me feel both happy and sad!"

Oishi: My dream is your dream. We've been dreaming the same dream

Eiji pouted and leaned back into his partner. "Never mind, I got my answer."

Oishi shook his head in amusement. "Oh, Eiji." Eiji grinned.

The egghead went around grabbing hands with his teammates.

Oishi: My tomorrow is your future. We're friends. Live life together.

Fuji walked up.

Fuji: You built my strength. We're eternal rivals.

His voice shook.

Eiji grabbed his friend. "Nya! Don't cry Fujiko! Fujiko shouldn't cry! That's just wrong,."

The tensai patted his friend on the head. "I'm not, Eiji."

He blinked and sat back next to Oishi. "Eh, sorry, I'm just so into this."

Fuji laughed. "It's fine Eiji."

Gakuto snickered.

The crowd cheered him on.

Fuji: My technique, team support. We motivate each other.

Tezuka: Let's rely on the strength.

Seigaku sang along in the background.

Tezuka: Let's trust the kindness. Let's believe in your victory. Because…

The actor broke down as he looked at his fellow cast.

Fuji's eyes snapped open. "Saa, Kuni-chan's actor is crying." He blinked. "That hurts me, because it seem like Kuni-chan is crying. That isn't good."

Tezuka turned red.

Tezuka:… (It's my pleasure).

The audience screamed even louder.

Oishi's actor came up to him.

Seigaku: My dream is your dream.

The audience sang along with them.

Seigaku: Let's put the same dream together. We'll compete with each other again.

They went up to the upper level of the stage and the stairs.

Seigaku: And again we'll strive.

The Seigaku cast waved and walked off of the stage.

Everyone sighed.

"You know, I think that song just made me sad, nya." Eiji stated seriously which was almost always a contradiction.

"Me too!" Jiroh exclaimed. "Atobe, did it make you sad?"

Atobe blinked in surprise. "Ore-sama?" he scoffed. "Of course not," but everybody could tell that he was lying.

The lights went dark.

Music started up and Horio came running onstage. He jumped into the air and spun.

Horio: For three years, I'm Horio.

"What does he mean? Isn't he always Horio?" Eiji questioned.

Inui adjusted his glasses. "The probability that he means that he has acted as Horio is 93.6%." he answered.

"Oh,"

Katsuo and Kachiro walked on stage.

Kachiro: Always, Kachiro.

Katsuo: Forever, Katsuo.

Freshmen Trio: We're Seishun Gakuen 7th graders. Yeah! Yeah! Nice to meet you. Yeah! Yeah!

Horio: Go! Fudomine! At last we're graduating!

Katsuo: Yes, we are.

He struggled behind them.

"Why does he look like he's having a hard time?" Jiroh asked to anyone.

Inui tilted his head and glanced down at his notebook. "I would have to say it is a 74% chance that it's a joke having something to do with his age."

Nobody questioned him on how he got that answer; this was Inui after all.

Freshmen Trio: Graduate as 7th graders!

Katsuo: St. Rudolph!

Horio: I'm on a roll! I'm Horio!

Kachiro: I'm Kachiro!

Katsuo: My name is Katsuo!

Freshmen Trio: We're Seishun Gakuen 7th Graders! Yeah! Familiar faces, here we come. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Horio: Yamabuki. Shall we? Ya, ya. How are you? Yo, yo. Are you all enjoying?

Horio stepped up.

Horio: I'm 21.

They blinked in surprise. "He's short for 21, nya."

Inui scribbled in his notebook. "Ii, data,"

Kachiro: I'm 21, too.

Katsuo: Do the round off; I'm 30!

"…Whoa,"

"Great data,"

Freshmen Trio: We're the same Trio. Good to see you again!

Katsuo mimed writing somethin.

Katsuo: Eh… many things happened. I'm fullfilled.

Horio: ABCD, each block has a tournament within.

Kachiro: If you can't make the top 2 then…

Katsuo: You can't be part of the new regulars.

Freshmen Trio: How sad. But that's the secret of Seigaku's strength. They train themselves by having a match against each other.

The three freshmen walked to either side of the stage bowing in tune and then went back to the middle and gave another bow before the music ended as they went off of the stage.

Director (Nanjiroh): Welcome everyone to Dream Live 3; the last show.

The audience clapped.

Director: Are you having fun? Live is fun, isn't it? Don't have to get nervous and all.

"Not nervous, nya?"

Director: That doesn't sound real, does it? This is the 3rd Dream Live. And also the third year for TeniMyu. Thank you very much for your support. Today, the last show, we're having the TeniMyu's second graduation ceremony.

A few of the people sighed. "This is going to be sad, I think."

Director: Most of the regulars who have worked hard for the past 18 months are graduating. It's a new beginning all over again for them. Their first rehearsel was like;… couldn't hit a note or their hands and legs were moving at the same time. But I think they've become fine regulars and… I'd like to celebrate their new journey. Only Aiba-kun will stay behind and pass the sash bearing Seigaku's name to the next members.

Fuji tilted his head. "My actor?" he asked rhetorically.

Director: He'll work hard as Seigaku's new pillar of support so please cheer for him as well.

They applauded.

Director: Ichinen (Freshmen) Trio who's been with us from the beginning helped me a lot. The Ichinen Trio and Yanagi-kun who miracously came back from his serious injury, are also departing.

"Serious injury? That's not good, that isn't."

Director: Together with me, please send them out on their new beginning with a smile. And please do not forget about them.

"We could never forget about them!"

"Fsssh,"

"Nya!"

Director: Let me introduce the proud, the second Seigaku members.

Music started up as the lights went out.
