SEARCH FOR THE EXCELLENT IDOL - CHAPTER 4 -
RELAX & DREAM - PALUPU & MIMU
At the mall.......in the food
court.................
Sitting at one of the tables, Raye, Lita, Amy,
Belldandy, & Mina recap what happened to them en route to the
mall.
"You would not believe who we saw on the
way to the mall today", says Mina.
"Who was that?", asks
Raye.
"We made 2 Excellent Idols at a coffee
shop", smiles Mina, "an Idol named Extra & another named
Shion".
"You mean Extra Kaido & Suzukaze
Shion?", asks Lita.
"That's right", answers Amy,
"have you heard of them before?"
"I know that Ken has seen Extra, who's also
known as Etsuko, perform a couple recitals before in the past", says Lita,
"& Ken says she's really good. He also seen Shion run a couple Tai Chi
classes in Shinjuku, where he visited his relatives there".
"We got to have our picture taken with
them", smiles Mina as she pulls the photo out of her purse & shows
everyone, "see that? Living proof".
"That's so cool", says Lita as she
looks at the photo & passes it over to Raye, "isn't it,
Raye?"
"Sure is", says Raye as she looks at
it, "that's great, Mina, & you know something, Lita & I met a
couple Excellent Idols ourselves", & returns the photo back to
Mina.
"You did?", exclaims Mina, "who
did you meet?"
"We met Heavy Metal Idol Layla
Simmons", says Lita, "& Dancing Bunny Girl Idol Corvette
Hiyards".
"Layla's that heavy metal chick,
right?", asks Mina.
"That's right", says Raye, "Chad
is right now hanging out with her as we speak".
"Sounds definately like a good
match", says Belldandy, "well, they seem to like the same kind
of music".
"Yeah, that's true", mods Raye,
"& that chick Corvette, she's be the perfect mate for Amara in case she
& Michelle ever break up".
"Or like to get into a threesome with
them", laughs Lita.
"She must have been really that
friendly?", wonders Mina.
"Or would outgoing be an
understatement?", adds Amy, "is she the one that's in that dance
troupe called The Bunny Club? I remember Greg telling me about them one
time."
"Yeah, I do remember her & that dance
troupe performing at Keio University earlier this year", says Mina, "I
know Andrew & I caught the show while he visited one of his college
friends".
"& was Layla in a band called Guts, or
something like that?", asks Amy.
"Yeah, that's it", says Raye,
"one of Chad's favorite bands".
Serena, Molly, & Sasami stroll in through
the food court to the table where their friends are sitting.
"Hey guys, sorry we were late",
announces Serena, "took a wrong turn".
"Well, that's typical Serena for you",
mutters Raye.
As they were about to sit down with them, a guy
suddenly grabs Serena's purse & makes a run for it, but before he could take
one more step, a bespectacled girl wearing a red outfit like a cross between
Chun-Li & Devil Hunter Yohko stop him dead at his tracks with a kick to the
face. "Thunder kick", laughs the girl. As the thief slowly tries to
get up, the girl counters with an elbow smash to his stomach. "Flying elbow
smash", calls the girl joyfully. The girl stands up, takes the purse from
him, & walks over to Serena, handing her the purse.
"Here, friend", smiles the girl,
"I believe this is yours", as she strokes one of her
pigtails.
"Hey, thanks", smiles Serena as she
takes the purse from the girl's hand, "that was really nice of
you".
"I love to help people in need", grins
the girl, "my name is Palupu Ranrang, Super Hero Idol
extraordinaire".
"Hi, Palupu, pleased to meet you",
smiles Serena, "& my name is Serena, & these are my
friends".
"Yaaay! Friends!",
cheers Palupu, "I love to make friends as well. Hey, Serena, wanna be my
friend?"
"Oh, sure, I would like to", nods Serena, "you
can be my friend. Since you did help me recover my purse so
quickly".
"Yay! I got a new friend", cheers Palupu, "do
your friends want to be my friends, too?"
"That sounds like a great idea, Palupu", smiles
Belldandy, "& since we are all Serena's friends, I'm sure we would
never object of you being our friend as well".
"Sure thing", says Lita, "any friend of
Serena's is also a friend of mine".
"That goes the same for me", smiles
Amy.
"& for me as well", adds
Molly.
"Ditto, here", nods Raye.
"Even if we hardly know each other at first", says
Sasami, "at least this is a great way to make a friend".
"Yay! Friends, friends!!", smiles Palupu
happily.
"So, what brings you here to Tokyo, Palupu?", asks
Serena, "is it for the great Excellent Idol contest?"
"Bin-go!", smiles Palupu, "how did you figure
that?"
"My friends have met a few other Excellent Idols whom are
also going to be in the competition", explains Serena, "& our
friend Mina is going to be in it as well".
"A fellow contestant?", giggles Palupu, "Who's
this Mina? I wanna meet her".
"Over here, Palupu", waves Mina, "this will be
my first time this year. I'm going to be singing one of my favorite anime
songs".
"That's so cool", smiles Palupu, "I'm going to
be doing a Kung Fu move number to show off my fighting skills to hi-energy
techno music".
"Cool", says Mina.
"Have you seen my ads on TV for my self-defense classes
in the satellite channel WOWOW?", asks Palupu.
"Yeah, come to think of it", says Raye, "I hear
your classes have been pretty popular".
"I teach them them the art of defending themselves like
the great Palupu Ranrang", smiles Palupu.
"Have you don't stunt work for action films & Hong
Kong cinema?", asks Lita, "I noticed your name credited among the
stunt players".
"Very good observation", giggles Palupu, "I do
stunt work on the side. I've worked with many of the greats like Jackie Chan,
Chow Yun-Fat, Michelle Yeoh, Anita Mui, all the greats".
"I bet someday you'll have your own action film",
says Amy.
"Hey, thanks for the vote of confidence", smiles
Palupu, "well, I really enjoyed meeting all of you, but I gotta head down
the street. I gotta self-defense class to teach. Great ti meet all of
you".
"Likewise, it was a pleasure", smiles
Belldandy.
"I will see all of you tomorrow night, my new
friends", says Palupu, "be sure to cheer me on".
"We sure will", says Serena, "& thanks for
getting my purse back".
"No trouble, my friend", grins Palupu, and then
turns to Mina, "best of luck to you, Mina, my new friend. A friendly wish
of luck from one fellow contestant to the next".
"Hey, thanks, Palupu", nods Mina, "& good
luck to you, too".
"Thanks, see you tomorrow night", smiles Palupu as
she turns toward the mall exit.
15 minutes later.........at a desinger clothing
store................
The girls are browsing through the racks looking for an outfit
& bathing suit for their friend Mina. A brown-haired young lady walks up to
Mina as she looks through the swimsuits.
"Hi, do you need some help?", asks the
girl.
"I'm just trying to find a swimsuit & an outfit for
tomorrow night's Excellent Idol Competition, & I want to look good for my
first time", says Mina.
"The Excellent Idol Competition?", asks the
girl.
"That right, uh...", Mina takes a closer look at the
girl's nametag, "Mimu".
"Mimu Emilton, miss", answers the girl.
"That's a very pretty name", smiles Mina, "my
name is Mina".
"Thank you, and pleased to meet you", smiles Mimu,
"this past week we have been pretty busy. All the girls buying outfits
& swimsuits so they can look good for the competition".
"I can imagine", exclaims Mina.
Mimu gors through the racks & picks out a pretty 2-piece
orange swimsuit with white stripes.
"Here you go, Mina", smiles Mimu as she hands Mina
the swimsuit.
"Hey thanks", smiles Mina, "& the perfect
size, too."
"Why don't you try it on?", asks Mimu.
"I shall, I shall", says Mina as she walks to the
dressing room.
"You must really know what you are doing in picking out
clothes for your customers", says Amy.
"Yeah", adds Lita, "how were you able to pick
out that orange swimsuit for Mina?"
"I noticed her orange colored fingernails", explains
Mimu, "I know that blonde hair & orange clothes would match very well.
My manager, Chelcie, taught me the art of color coordination".
"You mean Chelcie
Hanazaki Squire?", asks Raye, "the one who has now here own line of
designer clothing, & I read that she's going to be one of the judges for
tomorrow night. I hear that she was a semi-famous Idol a few years
back".
"Yes, that's
right", explains Mimu, "she was discovered during a high school talent
search. She recorded a couple of albums, did touring, appearances, but wanted to
drop out of the limelight after graduating from high school".
"Did she decide on her own, or was it peer pressure?',
asks Amy.
"Her choice", answers Mimu, "she invested her
money she made wisely, & attended Tokyo University & graduated with a
degree in business".
"She must still be doing well for herself", says
Molly.
"She still is", says Mimu, "in between he
clothing line & managing 3 clothing boutiques, she also does voice acting
for anime shows, but she doesn't sing nor tour any longer".
"So she must got out of the business at a very good
time", says Lita.
"Yes, you could say that", says Mimu, "&
one of the stores she manages is this one. Nowadays she dropped the squire part
of her name".
At that point, Mina walks out of the dressing room in the
orange & white bikini. "Well, what do you think?", asks Mina.
"It looks really nice on you, Mina", notes
Belldandy, "it's not too revealing, & it looks very lovely on
you".
"It's perfect for you, Mina", adds
Serena.
"Great, then I'll take it", smiles Mina, "now
all I need is an outfit, & i'm all set".
"I got one right here for you, Mina", smiles Mimu,
holding up a frilly white & orange spaghetti strapped dress with a red bow
in the back with a matching top, "this is perfect for
you".
"You are so nice to me, Mimu", smiles Mina as she
gives Mimu a quickie hug, "you're the best saleswoman I have ever met. You
should get compensation for this. I gotta try this outfit on", she places
her hand on Mimu's face, "I'll be right back. This is so cool", &
runs back to the dressing room.
"You know something, Mimu", says Serena, "you
know so much about how an idol dresses. I wonder if you were an idol yourself,
or have you ever been in an Excellent Idol Competition
before?"
"Don't mention this to your friend,
but I'm also going to be participating in tomorrow night's Excellent Idol
Competition", explains Mimu, "I didn't want to say anything to her, so
please keep this between us, OK?"
"Don't worry about it", assures Lita, "your
secret's good with us".
"We won't say anything to Mina", adds Amy,
"we'll make it a surprise".
"That's wonderful, thanks", smiles
Mimu.
"Were you a past Excellent Idol Competition
competitor?", asks Molly.
"This will be my first time, actually", confesses
Mimu, "plus, Yurie, my favorite singing idol, will also be one of the
judges for tomorrow night".
"Oh, I've heard of her", says Serena, "she's
like the most popular Idol in Japan, & her popularity is still
continuing".
"& she's popular outside of Japan as well", adds
Raye, "she's big in China, North & South Korea, Thailand, & The
Philipines. Her concerts are instant sell-outs".
"I even noticed a lot of Yurie fansites all over the
internet", notes Amy.
"I'm really looking foward to tomorrow night", says
Mimu, "but i'm a bit nervous. I really want to sing my song to her, the
other judges, & the audience. i can relate to Mina's
excitement".
Belldandy walks over to Mimu & places her hand on her
shoulder, "I know you will do very well tomorrow night, Mimu, you just have
to believe in yourself. I'm sure Yurie will truly appreciate your
efforts".
"Thank you for your kindness", smiles Mimu,
"that really means a lot".
"I know you have a very good heart, full of good
intentions, & that's a very wonderful trait to have", smiles
Belldandy.
"She's right, Mimu", adds Lita, "just give it
your best shot. I know Mina will."
At that point, Mina walks out of the dressing room with the
outfit Mimu picked for her.
"It looks great on you, Mina", says
Amy.
"It sures does", adds Lita.
"You have the look of a true idol", says
Molly.
"You're going to look good tomorrow night", adds
Sasami.
"Great, I think so, too", smiles Mina in agreement,
& turns to Mimu, "you know, Mimu, you really know how to pick a great
outfit. I'll take this also".
"Hey, thanks, Mimu", smiles Mina, as she turns to
the dressing room.
"You know something, Mimu", notes Belldandy,
"you & Mina seem to have a lot in common".
"Really? You think so?", asks Mimu.
"Yes, I do", smiles Belldandy, "both of you
have are pursuing a dream, both of you have good hearts with good intentions,
both of you like to make people happy, & most of all, you both set your
goals very high".
"She's right, Mimu", adds Serena, "I don't see
why can't go wrong. We do wish you the very best of luck tomorrow
night".
"Yes", adds Sasami, "& I hope you get a
chance to meet Yurie face to face".
"Thank you, all of you", smiles Mimu, "& I
want to wish Mina the very best of luck to her as well".
"I'm sure she will appreciate that", smiles
Amy.
"And we'll be cheering you & Mina on", says
Lita.
Mina walks out of the dressing room with the outfit &
swimsuit in hand. "I'll will definately take both of them", Mina
smiles, "thanks for all your help".
"I'm glad I could do that", smiles Mimu, "&
the best of luck to you tomorrow night".
"Hey, thanks, Mimu", smiles Mina.
