Club Rayearth Chapter Five

Club Rayearth

Chapter Five

Hikaru sat on the couch with her head bowed in silence. She chewed her bottom lip as she sat. She was pissed. Pissed off at herself for being such a fool. Lost in the worries of the club, and they had almost cost her the club too. She had to remain focused and level headed.

Nova staggered into the room holding a pink stuffed bunny. She bumped into a stack of videos and watched blurry-eyed as they crashed and slide to the floor. She blinked trying to get the fog out of her eyes.

Nova bent down and picked up a video that made her frown. "Hikaru, what the heck is this?" She waved the video in Hikaru's face.

Hikaru looked up and her eyes widened. "That video is not mine. I..." Hikaru trailed off and shoved the Care Bears video in between the couch cushion.

Nova watched with a puzzled look on her face.

"You never saw that I owned that- got it?" Hikaru said as she pointed a finger at Nova.

Nova nodded, still rather groggy.

Hikaru sighed. "We blew it last night."

Nova plopped down on the couch next too Hikaru. "Yup, totally bombed."

Hikaru let out another sigh. Nova sighed too while pulling her tank top strap back up onto her shoulder.

"He'll be there again to night at least." Nova said dully.

Hikaru nodded. "Yeah. But he already thinks lowly of us."

Nova nodded in agreement. "But that means we'll just have to show him what we're made of."

Hikaru nodded and pulled her knees up to her chin.

"Now get out of those pink pajama's and let's get going! The boys, Lantis and Eagle, are taking us out to dinner!"

Hikaru's eyes widened. "What?!" She jumped to her feet. "Why did you wait so long to tell me?!"

Nova blinked. "You were passed out. And then it was morning. And then I found that Care Bears tape-"

"Don't you EVER tell ANYONE about that video!" Hikaru warned.

"So that's what you watch late at night. I swear I thought it was some kind of porno. I really did." Nova said as she shook her head.

Hikaru laughed.

Hikaru, Lantis, Eagle, and Nova were at a small cafe getting their lunch. While they waited the started talking about, what else? The club.

"You'll have to blow them away... Get someone to play." Eagle suggested.

"We have no one booked for tonight." Nova admitted.

"Well, ya know Eagle and I, we were in a band once." Lantis admitted.

Nova and Hikaru started laughing until they fell off their seats.

Nova pointed at Eagle and then to Lantis. "Y-ya-you? You two... HA-Ha you were in a BAND?!" Nova seemed unable to control herself.

Hikaru couldn't say a word she was laughing so hard.

Both Eagle and Lantis sweat dropped.

"Um, yeah. I play the drums," Eagle said.

Lantis began playing an air guitar. "And I play the electric guitar!"

Hikaru and Nova calmed themselves and climbed up into their chairs again.

"Can you get a singer?" Nova asked.

"And a basemen?" Hikaru added.

Eagle and Lantis looked at each other and blinked.

"I suppose," Eagle said slowly.

"Clef plays base," Lantis pointed out.

"And Fuu can sing," Hikaru said as she clapped her hands together.

"Oh this will surly blow them away..." Nova trailed off.

Fuu and Ferio had just finished their lunch out on Ferio's deck. Fuu sat out under the shade of the umbrella reading a book. Ferio was busy putting their dishes in the dish washer. Zagato sat at the kitchen table eating his own meal while he waited for Emeraude to finish getting dresses.

"I swear that girl things she's a princess... She takes forever to get dress..." Zagato grumbled.

Ferio laughed. "Maybe in another life she was princess. Can you imagine, 'Princess Emeraude'?"

Zagato snickered. "Right, and I was her priest."

Ferio laughed. "Now there's a good one."

Just then the phone rang, Ferio waited for Zagato to pick up, since the phone sat right in front of him. But he didn't, so Ferio had to swing over and grab it.

"Hello?"

"Is Fuu there?" Hikaru asked hopefully.

"Yup, hold on a sec." Ferio replied.

Hikaru sighed with relief.

Ferio pulled open the sliding glass door and held the phone out. "It's for you."

Fuu looked up from her book and took the phone.
"Hello?"

"Hey Fuu, it's me Hikaru... I was wondering if you'd do me a favor..."

___________________________________________


Clef couldn't believe his ears! Eagle was asking him to play at the club tonight with them... Now was his chance to catch Umi's sparkling eyes...

"Sure Eagle!" Clef practically screamed. "I mean, sure if you really need me to."

Eagle laughed and then told him to get over to Lantis' place as soon as he could.

Hikaru paced nervously but passed up any drinks. It was ten minutes until they opened and still no Ascot or ViridianCat.

"Where is my DJ?!" Hikaru burst out finally.

"May be they're playin' Milan Rouge again," Caldina said as she giggled.

"Ahhh I wish you wouldn't talk like that." Presea said as she made a face.

"Hey, but who wouldn't want to play with Ascot?" Alcione pointed out.

"Mmm-hmm... But he's a well devoted man." Presea replied.

The minutes passed by and still no ViridianCat or Ascot.

"Damn...." Hikaru swore.

Lafarga opened the doors and Hikaru bit her lip.
"We need a sit in DJ!" Hikaru said. Then she took a deep breath. Then she took another, and just in case, she took one more. "Stay calm..."

Mokona bounced in just then. "Puu?" Mokona said as he looked up at the freaking Hikaru.

"We need a stand in DJ." Hikaru replied.

"Puu, puuuuu-puuu." Mokona said as he shrugged.

"Would you really?" Hikaru said as her eyes brightened.

Mokona nodded.

"Did that fluff ball just say he's gonna be our DJ?" Nova asked.

Hikaru nodded.

Just then a girl with long, pretty aqua hair
and silver eyes walked in. She wore a blue halter top and a blue skirt.

"ViridianCat and Ascot sent me here to tell ya they eloped and will be back tomorrow." She said.

Hikaru's mouth hung open. "Did they really!?"

The girl nodded.

"Ok, but um, who are ya little missy?" Caldina asked.

She blinked her Silver eyes, "I'm Aquasquirrel."

"Nice name..." Nova trailed off. "I like it!"

Mokona grabbed a cd and put it on Destiny Child's Independent Woman.

All the women who are independent
Throw your hands up at me
All the honeys who makin' money
Throw your hands up at me
All the mommas who profit dollas
Throw your hands up at me
All the ladies who truly feel me
Throw your hands up at me

Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that
Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that
(For those of you who want the full version click http://www.geocities.com/boyzone_cat/independentwoman.txt here)

Hikaru made a mental note to buy Ascot and ViridianCat a present as soon as she got the chance. Then she grimaced as she realized that Fuu, Eagle, Clef, and Lantis were about to take center stage...

"This is not going to be pretty," Hikaru mumbled.

"I get the same feelin'." Nova said.

They just prayed that the song Fuu agreed to do was gonna work. Because they knew that some where an inspector was watching.

Fuu took the microphone and the guys took their instruments.

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
but I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
until your resting here with me

I don't want to call my friends
they might wake me from this dream
and I can't leave this bed
risk forgetting all that's been

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
but I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
until your resting here with me




Everyone clapped as soon as she was done singing, including the inspector.

Hikaru let out a sigh of relief. She felt Lantis' arms rap around her. "Congratulations," he whispered.

Nova started jumping up and down clapping. "Yay! Go Eagle!"

Eagle stepped off the stage and sweat dropped.
"That was some good drum playing." Nova said starry eyed.

"I bet ViridianCat is having more fun then we are." Caldina said with a wink. Everyone laughed and nodded.
