Chapter eleven:
They are on the road.
Nate stayed on the bed recovering for a while but about a week later he was up and moving around pretty much like how he used to. He still has some wounds that cause him problems but they'll heal. He was not left with a visible scar from the incident and his relationship with Mihael is now permanent.
Mihael didn't like leaving Nate's side while he was recovering.
The band are right now traveling to their next performance location in Japan.
L and Light are curled up together on a blanket on the floor.
A is resting with B on the couch.
Mihael and Nate are on the bed.
Mail and Linda are sitting in front of a window each watching the scenery go by as their owner continues to drive them.
They are close to their next location and they have a new song to celebrate Nate returning to singing with them again after not being able to due to his wounds.
Mihael mostly made it himself wanting to give Nate a present with the song but he got help from other band members when needed.
Nate rubs his nose against Mihael's in a kiss.
"I want to tell you something." Mihael tells Nate.
Nate tilts his head softly and Mihael just sees Nate as so adorable though Nate is always adorable to Mihael. "Oh?"
"We have a new song. One made especially for you." Mihael informs him with a smile.
Nate blinks and smiles. "Aww. Mihael you didn't have to."
"But I did." Mihael rubs his nose against Nate's. "Let me tell you how it goes." He tells Nate how the newest song goes as they continue to head to where they are going.
By the time they stop at their next location Mihael finishes telling Nate the new song.
Nate wags his tail. "That's such a beautiful song." He tells Mihael.
Mihael grins at that wagging his tail vigorously. "I'm glad you like it."
A looks out the window. "Hey guy's we are here!" He calls excitedly.
All of them quickly move to look out a window and sure enough straight ahead is their next performance spot.
"There it is." Mihael puts his tail over Nate's.
Nate lets him and nods. "Yup." He is the first one who slips back into the trailer.
Mihael follows him in and they sit on the bed.
The others settle back in the trailer when they are done looking outside.
They stop at the location and the owner opens the door letting himself as well the dogs out.
The band glances around excitedly.
This is the first time they'll be performing at something this big.
This is one of Japan's biggest fairs that have street performers as well as other things of fairs but one lucky performer or group of performers get to be a part of the parade which can let you possibly be seen by someone who might help you become very famous.
"This is kind of nerve wracking." Nate admits.
"Don't worry. We are all in this together and no matter what happens we will do our best." Mihael assures him and Nate nods.
"We have a little time. We can either practice first or look around first then practice." Mihael asks the band.
"I would like to look around a little first. Since it's our first time here and all." Beyond responds first and the others nod in agreement.
"Alright then. Meet back here when the sun is at its highest point at latest." Mihael agrees. "Don't be late."
They nod and separate in teams to go look around.
"Come on Nate let's look around too." Mihael says and leads Nate to deeper in the fair.
They look around at all the stuff having so much to take in at once.
So many places with so much different stuff that it feels like they have arrived in a very big town at night with all the lights on.
"Wow there is so much." Nate gasps.
"I know. It feels so strange to be around here. We've never done anything like this." Mihael sniffs the air. "Mmm. I smell something good." He turns and Nate follows till they arrive at one of the food stands.
"I've never seen that kind of food before." Nate says looking at the star shaped rod looking bread treat.
"Me neither." Mihael agrees tilting his head trying to figure out what the treat is called but it's in human language so it's hard to read unless they know the word which isn't easy.
The food stand guy looks down noticing the dogs and smiles. He picks one up snapping it half then offering it to them.
Mihael and Nate wag their tales to show their thanks then they take the treat careful not to hurt the man.
They eat it quickly as the delicious taste lingers on their tongues.
"Mm!" Nate licks his lips. "That was good."
Mihael hums in agreement. "Yes it was." He agrees.
They give a happy look to the man before running off to see what else they can find.
Before they know it the time has flown by and they are all back at the trailer to rehearse.
They go through the steps making sure everything is perfect well as perfect as they can get it.
The owner calls them over.
"Ok guys let's do our best." Mihael encourages the group and they head over to the owner who is sitting on a stool next to the small stage.
They get into the arrow position and get ready to sing.
The owner starts playing the guitar and the band starts lightly swaying their bodies side to side.
Nate takes a step forward and begins the singing. "There's music in the treetops and there's music in the vale. And all around the music fills the sky." He begins in his beautiful song voice.
The others begin a slight howl but quiet enough Nate's voice comes out on top.
They begin swaying their hips so their tails sway.
"There's music by the river and there's music in the grass. And the music makes your heart soar in reply." Nate sings doing the take one step to one side then one step to the other side while swaying his hips.
The other's join in the singing and Mihael comes up to beside Nate. "When you find you've got the music."
"You've got to look inside and find!" Nate and Mihael turn back to back doing the tail spin move.
The crowd begins to multiply as they continue to perform.
Three judge looking people drop their clip boards and pens as their jaws flop open.
Everyone is in harmony as they sing forming a small circle around Nate nad Mihael making sure the two can be seen. They do the tail spin move. "Find you've got the music."
Nate starts swaying his body and slightly swaying his head as he sings with Mihael copying his dance moves but singing the background soft howl with the others. "The music deep inside you!"
They sing together once again and sway their hips to the rhythm "Find you've got the music."
"Cause when you look inside, you'll see it!" Nate's voice sings a little over the others since they are background singers in this song.
As the background singers they are almost like an echo as they continue to dance making the performance amazing as a band. "Find you've got the music."
Nate slightly adds a small howl into his sing but it's still beautiful. "You're gonna find, you're gonna."
Everyone moves into a line with Mihael and Nate in the middle. They do the one or two steps one way then the same the other way as they sway their bodies in dance. "Find you've got the music. Got the music, got the music."
L and Light make small howls to mix into the song.
They get into the finishing pose as they bring the song to a close. "Got the music in you!"
The song ends at that.
There is a roar of applause and cheering as well as many flashes of cameras.
The judges talk to the owner and they shake hands.
The band knows that they have made it into the parade.
As the parade time comes around they are the street performers winner float as they sing and dance to a variety of their songs they have wooing the crowd.
Mikami, Takada, Light's family and the other police dogs are watching the T.V. spotting the band on the float. Some of them even end up dancing to the songs the band is performing.
After the parade a rich person talks to the owner and the band has made it into fame.
They don't let the fame and fortune go to their heads and they stay close as a family. They begin performing all over the world and even doing some recordings even though humans can't understand them the humans find how the dogs sing to the guitar is amazing.
As famous dog singers they are all happy though they have always been happy together.
Thus our story comes to a close.
