"Half an hour till they go on, those girls better have a good explanation!"

"Where is K!"

"Dammit Nakano-san come on, I don't think I can hold Shuichi off much longer!"

"Oh Senpai isn't it romantic!"

"Drop dead."

"You certainly amaze me Eiri-kun."

"Shut up and put that over there."

The situation was looking bleak. As the backstage area was in an uproar over the missing performers. Ricky, K, and Hiro were in their own mess in the city. They walked outside where the NYPD, well, 2 cops, were waiting with their guns drawn.

"Sir I can explain!" Ricky tried to reason as the plain clothes cop turned him around and began to frisk him.

"I don't think you need to explain anything." The cop said as he put the handcuffs around Hiro's wrists.

"I knew this wasn't going to work." He murmured.

"Breaking and entering on Christmas Eve." The other cop laughed. "At least I got something to brag about at the precinct tomorrow morning."

"If anyone is there." His friend said as he removed some of K's guns. "You know Rose gave most of them the time off."

Ricky's head shot up!

"WAIT DID YOU SAY RO…WHOA!" The cop pushed him into the car.

Just as the cops were about to get in the car…

"OFFICER WAIT!!!" A yell was heard and three young women came running towards them.

The cops stood and waited as the girls caught their breath.

"Please sir, please don't arrest them." Lynn pleaded. "There is a very good explanation why they did what they did!"

The cop crossed his arms.

"Always is." He said with a laugh.

"It's the truth!" Nicole said. "Look we are the band Fallen Angels and we are performing at the Christmas concert tonight at Rockefeller Center. The red head in there is Hiro Nakano of Bad Luck who is performing with us tonight. The blonde haired guy is their manager!"

The cops looked at the girls weirdly.

"And I suppose that other guy is supposed to be Santa Claus in disguise?"

"No he's just an idiot!" Lynn yelled glaring at Ricky who stuck his tongue out at her in the car.

"So why would they be breaking and entering on Christmas Eve when your supposed to be at that concert hmmm?" The cop said trying to stifle a laugh.

"They were picking up something and were supposed to leave the money and a note on the counter!" Marie said.

"MARIE!" Lynn and Nicole yelled as she accidently gave away their entire plan.

The two cops looked at the girls and then at each other, then immediately burst out laughing!!

"OH GOD!" One of them said. "THAT'S THE BEST STORY I HAVE HEARD ALL NIGHT!"

"ROCK BAND BURGLARY!!" His partner said.

Lynn put her hands on her hips.

"Everyone's a critic." She said. "It's the truth."

The two cops finally stopped laughing and looked at one another.

"Whatdya think Drake?"

The cop named Drake looked at his partner.

"I think its Christmas Eve, it's snowing like hell, and we are on duty! Cuff'em Ted!"

"WHOA HELLO?!" Lynn said as the cop forcefully, but not painfully took both her arms and began to handcuff her. "HEY YOU CAN'T DO THIS WE HAVE A CONCERT IN TWENTY MINUTES!"

"Yeah and I have a date with Eva Longoria in the Hamptons." Ted said. "You three are under arrest for being accomplices to this little break in since you seem to know it so much."

Ricky began banging on the window with his foot.

"LYNN!" He yelled. "THEY KNOW THAT ROSE GUY, THE ONE THAT KISSED RYO!"

Lynn's eyes shot up.

"WAIT!" She yelled as they began cuffing Marie and Nicole. "You know Commissioner Rose!?"

"Yeah, he's the jerk who put us on duty tonight AND tomorrow!" Drake said.

"So then you know Dee and Ryo!" Marie said.

Drake finished putting the cuffs on Nicole and Ted opened the back door.

"Yep." He said. "They are one of us too, now get in!" They gave a gentle push to the three girls nearly toppling them on top of the guys. Just before the door was closed, Lynn stopped it with her foot.

"If you give me five minutes I will explain everything…" She said.

It was three minutes before the girls were supposed to go on, but they had yet to show. Shuichi was worried about Hiro and tried calling him on his cell, but got no answer.

"I hope he is okay." He said worriedly.

"Me too." Suguru said gritting his teeth.

"AHHHH K-SAN, NAKANO-SAN WHERE ARE YOOOOOUUUUU!" Sakano said freaking out.

Nittle Grasper then approached the backstage.

"I see some of the crew is missing." Tohma said.

"Now you take care of Kuma while I perform." Ryuichi said handing Kuma to Sakano.

Noriko crossed her arms.

"If those girls delay our set, I'm gonna be pissed." She said. "I'm supposed to be spending Christmas with my daughter and husband in the Adirondacks."

The Rockette's finished their set and quickly cleared out and into the backstage wishing everyone good luck as they flurried back to their dressing rooms. The set was quickly re-arranged and the host headed to the stage.

"Now we have a special treat for the audience as three popular pop bands readily agreed to celebrate the holidays with all of you. I want you to give a big hand to our first set!

Suguru looked at his watch.

"They'll never make it." He murmured.

"FALLEN ANGELS!!"

Just as Suguru dropped his head he and Sakano were nearly run over by the three women!!

"SORRY SUGURU!" Nicole said.

"WE GOT IT!" Lynn whispered.

"LONG STORY TELL YA LATER!" Marie yelled as the three women charged to the stage.

"HEY KIDS!" Lynn yelled breathlessly as she approached the mic. "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! NOW LET'S ROCK!!!"

The audience went into a loud cheer as the girls started their set.

Suguru laughed as Hiro approached him and quickly flashed him the box under his jacket.

"I guess I underestimated you guys." Suguru said as he stared at his friend.

"It took you THAT long to get cigarettes!" Shuichi yelled.

Hiro laughed.

"Hey traffic in New York is a bitch!" He said and watched as the girls rocked out on the stage. He made a mental note to send a gift basket to those two detectives before the holiday was over.
