The party was held in a big ballroom. There were many actors, singers, directors, and producers there. So mostly famous people and the ones involved in the movie itself.

"Wow this is nice." Sho said.

"Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?" Kyoko replied a bit defensively.

"No it's just because sometimes at the parties I go to. People are usually drunk and wild. This is really calm." Sho explained anxiously. "Uh, what would you like to drink?"

Kyoko raised her brow in suspicion. "Drunk parties? When was this? And champagne."

Sho rushed to a waiter with a platter of drinks and got two glasses of champagne. He then went back to Kyoko and handed her one.

"Thank you. Now answer the question." Kyoko said firmly.

"I went to them when I was starting out?" Sho said, hoping that was the right answer.

Kyoko frowned at him. "That's impossible, because you always came home everyday and if you were going to be late, you would call."

Sho's eyes widened. "Well maybe I was imagining it. You know what happens when I'm drunk."

"Okay." Kyoko said still suspicious. She drank her drink and put her glass on one of the waiter's trays.

Sho looked at her, worried. What is going on? What I remember is going to lots of parties, never calling, and staying mostly at Shoko's. What did I do in this reality?

"Are you okay?" Kyoko touched Sho's shoulder.

Sho snapped back to reality. "Yeah, babe."

On the elevated stage, the director stood there and talked into the microphone. He was saying how they did such a good job and congratulations to Reino's first big motion picture. He then started saying his thanks to everybody involved with in the production. After he finished, he says he regrets that one of the most talented actresses of the century will have to leave the business for a while. A spotlight hit Kyoko.

"Please do a round of applause for Kyoko-san!"

Everybody applaused and cheered for her. Kyoko blushed and waved to all of them. The director finished and everybody went back to their conversations.

Sho hugged Kyoko from behind. "Most talented actress of the century, huh?" He then kissed her cheek.

Kyoko smiled at him. Sho squeezed her and nipped at her neck.

"Sho, stop it. We're in public" She pushed his head off her neck.

"Fine. I'll continue it later." He whispered in her ear, which caused her to blush again.

"Maybe. Now stop." She squirmed out of his hold. When she got out, she faced him. "Now please get us something to eat."

"Fine. I'll go get it. Just don't flirt with anyone until I'm back." He joked.

"So I can flirt with when you're here?" Kyoko joked back, but it just made Sho worried.

Sho left and got the food. As he turned to head back, he saw Kyoko talking to someone. She was laughing and not at all terrified. Sho crept closer to get a better look. He almost dropped the plates when he saw who she was talking to.

It was Reino!
