Meanwhile.................en route to the
mall................
"I'm really glad you decided to go shopping
with us", smiles Amy.
"I'm happy you &
your friends invited me to go with you", replies Belldandy,
"especially when one of your friends will be participating in the big
Excellent Idol Competition tomorrow night", she then turns to Mina, "I
bet you must be really excited, Mina".
"I'm ecstatic, Belldandy", smiles Mina, "this
is my big chance. i have been waiting for this moment all year, and nothing is
gonna stop me. I wanna look good for tomorrow night, so i wanna pick out the
nicest outfit and the prettiest swimsuit I can find. Something that makes me
look like a true idol".
As the 3 girls walk past a coffee shop, they notice beautiful
piano music coming from inside.
"This music is very beautiful", notices
Amy.
"It sure is", adds Belldandy, "would you like
to go inside and see who's playing it?"
"Yeah, why not?", nods Mina, "I could go for a
nicelt chilled Cappuchino before shopping"
Amy, Mina, & Belldandy walk inside the 3/4-filled coffee
shop, and sit down at one of the few tables that were availible. A waitress
walks over to them, "Hi! May I take your order, or would you like more
time?"
"We're ready to order", answers Mina, "1
chilled Cappuchino, 2 green teas, and 3 slices of lemon cake".
"Will that be everything, Miss?", asks the
waitress.
"There is one more thing", asks Amy, "who's the
young lady playing the piano? She's very good".
"Oh, her?", asks the waitress as she looks in the
direction of the beautiful blonde girl wearing a pink and white dress playing
the piano, "her name is Etsuko Kaido, but everybody calls her Extra. She
plays here every other Month. She's in town today because she's participating in
the Excellent Idol Competition tomorrow night".
"Excellent Idol Contest?", wonders Mina, "I'm
going to be participating this year. This is so cool, meeting a fellow
contestant".
"Extra has been participating in the Competition since
she was 13", adds the waitress, "she's placed either 2nd or 3rd place,
but never finished 1st place. Maybe this year will be her
time".
"Thats' wonderful", says Amy, "we'd like to
meet her".
"Tell you what", says the waitress, "I'll
mention to her that you ladies would like to meet her after her set. This is her
last song".
"That would be great, Miss", smiles
Belldandy.
"Well, I'll go get your order", smiles the waitress
as she turns to the kitchen, "and i'll mention to Extra that you all want
to meet her".
"Thank you very much, Miss", smiles
Belldandy.
"Isn't that great?", wonders Amy, "a veteran
idol contestant. I hear that she's very popular in the recitial circuit, playing
in all the major Universities and concert halls all over Japan &
Osaka".
"It sure is", grins Mina, "meeting fellow
contestants, looks like it's going to be a friendly
competition".
The waitress returns to the table, carrying a tray with 2 cups
of green tea, 1 glass of iced cappuchino, and 3 slices of lemon
cake.
"Which one of you have ordered the green tea?", asks
the waitress.
"I did, Miss", answers Amy.
"So did I", adds Belldandy.
"And he future Idol gets the iced cappuchino",
smiles the waitress as she hands the glass to Mina.
"You got it", giggles Mina, "when I get famous,
you can tell all your friends that I set foot at this coffee shop, and i'll even
send you an autograph for you place on the wall".
"Thanks", nods the waitress as she serves the lemon
cake, "Extra will be coming down in a couple minutes. she's just cooling
off right now. And she'll be bringing over one of her friends who wants to meet
all of you as well".
"Well, thank you very much, Miss", smiles
Amy.
"You're all very welcome", smiles the waitress,
"enjoy your treats and i'll check back with you later", as she leaves
to wait on another table.
"This is great", says Mina, "meeting an actual
Idol, but I'd never thought I would meet her at a coffee shop, in all
places".
"Some famous celebrities get their start in the most
unusual places, Mina", says Amy as she sips her green tea.
"And discovered at in the most strangest places as
well", adds Belldandy also taking a sip of her green tea.
"If i get discovered here", grins Mina as she takes
a bite of her lemon cake, "they will know me as Mina, the Coffee Shop
Idol".
At that moment, 2 young ladies, the blonde piano player and a
dark-haired girl with a page-style hairstyle and wearing a purple/blue/black
print short skirted ninja dress walk toward the table where the 3 freinds are
sitting.
"Excuse me, ladies", says the blonde, "I was
told that you enjoyed my piano playing and wanted to meet me?"
"Yes, we did", replies Amy, "we thought your
music was very lovely".
"It was very beautiful", adds Belldandy, "we
really loved it".
"I'm very glad to hear that, thank you for the kind
words", smiles the blonde, "my name is Etsuko Kaido, but you may call
me Extra".
"Hi, Extra", smiles Mina, "I'm Mina, and these
are my friends, Amy & Belldandy".
"Pleased to meet all of you", smiles Extra,
"and this is my spiritual advisor slash Ninja Idol, Suzukaze
Shion".
"Honored to meet all of you, young women with pure of
heart", nods Shion.
"That's pretty deep", replies Mina as she sips her
cappuchino, "please join us".
"We would like to", nods Extra as she & Shion
sit down with the 3 friends.
"So you are a spiritual advisor?",
asks Belldandy.
"Yes, I am", replies Shion, "I
help give guidence and assurance for the weak of heart and the
uncertain".
"And Extra mentioned you were a Ninja
Idol?", wonders Amy.
"I have trained in the ninja arts since I
was 9", replies Shion, "I have trained myself to be nimble, to have a
clear mind, to ease a troubled heart, and to think before
react".
"That's really cool, Shion", nods
Mina, and then turns to Extra, "so i was told you're in town for the big
Excellent Idol Competition tomorrow night".
"Yes I am, Mina", nods Extra, "I
have been in 3rd Place twice, and 2nd Place the last 3 times. I'm hoping this
year will be the year I will make it to first place".
"I caught your recitial last month in Tokyo
University", says Amy, "you were very good".
"Why, thank you, Amy", smiles Extra,
"touring the recitial circuit disciplines me well, and keeps me in
practice".
"And Shion has been a big help to
you", adds Belldandy.
"She has", answers Extra, "she
has helped me and many Idols. She's wonderful".
"That's so cool", says Mina, "so
what are you doing here playing in this coffee shop?"
"I got my start here", answers Extra,
"my sister worked here and when I came to visit her, she let me play
the piano for a little while".
"And when did you meet Miss Shion?"
asks Amy.
"Extra & I met 2 years ago",
answers Shion, "it was by chance, when I also met the other Excellent Idol
contestants from the past. In fact, they are here right now, and also
competiting tomorrow night".
"That's wonderful, Shion", says
Belldandy, "I'm really glad we met".
"You young women are definately pure of
heart", smiles Shion, "you're hearts are always filled with good
intentions", and turns to Mina, "Miss Mina, it is true you are
entering the Competition, correct?"
"You better believe it", gleams Mina,
"but how did you know?"
"I am a trained Ninja", replies shion,
"I can read what's in people's hearts. You have a dream you have been
pursuing for quite some time. If you continue to keep your heart pure, something
good will be your outcome on a very special event".
"Whoa!", exclaims Mina as she almost
chokes on her bite of lemon cake but quickly washes it down with her cappuchino,
"you must be some kind of fortune teller as well".
"Or maybe she has a special gift to help
others", explains Belldandy.
"And what a special gift", adds Amy,
and turns to Mina, "see, Mina? Keep a pure heart and maybe something will
come your way".
"Yeah. Hey, thanks for the kind words,
Shion", grins mina and then turns to Extra, "as one contestant to
another, I want to wish you the best of luck tomorrow night".
"And I want to wish you the best of luck to
you as well, Mina", smiles Extra, and turns to the waitress, "Miss,
camera please?"
"Yes, maam", calls the waitress as she
comes back with a Polaroid One-step camera.
"Please take a photograph of myself, Shion,
Miss Mina, and her 2 friends", requests Extra as the 5 girls pose for a
photo as the waitress snaps a photo and hands the photo to Mina.
"Keep this as a memoir of our first
meeting, Mina", smiles Extra, "because who knows if our paths ever
cross again after tomorrow night".
"Hey, thanks, Extra", nods an excited
Mina, "it was great knowning you & Shion".
"And it was wonderful knowing you and your
friends, Mina", agrees Extra, "And i will see you tomorrow
night".
"And please remember to always keep a pure
& calm heart", adds Shion.
"We will do that, thanks", nods Mina
as the 2 idols leave from the table and walk back to the stage
area.
"Um, Miss, how much do we owe for our
bill?", asks Amy.
"Extra paid the bill, so its on her",
smiles the waitress, "she doesn't ususually do this for anybody, but she
did it for you 3 because she appreciates those who appreciate
her".
"Why thank you so much", says
Belldandy, "& you make a very good green tea, and I love your lemon
cake."
"It's homemade", adds the waitress,
"we rarely have homemade goods here, but when Extra is here, our lemon cake
is a very good seller".
"Well, thanks for everything", smiles
Mina.
"You're very welcome", smiles the
waitress, "and please stop back again. Have a wonderful
day".
"Thank you, Miss", smiles Amy,
"and we will return".
"This is so cool, guys", beams Mina,
"not only we met 2 Idols but got a photograph and free snacks by the same
Idols".
"This is tremendously wonderful,
Mina", smiles Belldandy, "I feel this will be a very good omen for
you".
"It sure sounds like it", adds
Amy.
"Um-hmm", grins mina, "so let's
finish up our refreshments and meet the guys at the mall. I gotta swimsuit &
outfit to buy".
