Hey, Hey ^_^ I just got my computer back ^O^ *dances around* no more suffering with my laptop shutting down every ten minutes ^^…. If any of you are also interested I just posted up the sequel to 'I'm Yours To Keep', if you didn't see it that is. Hmm…Not much to say really, so read on and review ^_^

---*---

"What do you mean you found a new singer?!" the boys of 'Tenshi Tsubasa' hollered at their manager.

"Onegai…Don't yell so loud, I've already had enough of that from Mimi," Masimachii groaned as he collapsed onto his chair. He had at least three bandages on his face, a huge lump on his forehead, and some cuts on his sprained arm.

"Mimi?" asked Matt who was leaning calmly against the wall.       (Such a Yamato thing to do ^^)

"Yes. Mimi Tachikawa. She's the niece of Satoshii and is the newest member of this band." Masimachii announced.

"What?!" the three boys exclaimed.

"The fifth member's a…girl?" Takeru gulped.

"That's a change," Tai remarked.

"Is she a babe?" asked Michael.  

"What's so interesting that you picked her?" asked Matt.

Masimachii waved his hand, "Calm down, guys. I've only met her yesterday and I promise you that she's good-heck, she's the next face of rock and roll! The concert is in a day and she's not that familiar with everything yet so I expect you guys to treat her with respect-the respect you've never shown me." He said, muttering those last words.

Takeru raised a brow, "Gee, don't you think that's asking a bit too much from us?"

"When are we going to meet this girl, anyway?" asked Tai overriding Takeru's question.

"Tomorrow. Rehearsal's at the stadium, at 5."

"Great! See in tomorrow afternoon then!" the guys said as they started to leave.

"Uh-uh…5 tomorrow morning!"

"Nani?!"

------*-*------

"Mimi? Mimi, honey, you better get up or you'll be late for your band rehearsal!" Mimi mother whispered in her ear.

Mimi slightly opened her eyes and clumsily reached for her clock, "…Mom, c'mon it's 4 a.m. Even the fish are asleep!" she said and turned away from her mom, pulling the cover over her head. Her eyes then suddenly popped open as she had remembered what day it was, as her mom reached over Mimi quickly jumped up, frightening her mom.

"Omg! How could I forget what today was!" she shrieked.

"Your band rehearsal?" her mom asked as Mimi fumbled away from her blanket and leaped across the floor and swung her closet open.

"No! the day when I finally meet 'Tenshi Tsubasa'," she said getting into her dreamy state, "And Yamato Ishida! *sigh* My date with destiny has finally arrived" she screamed as she started throwing her clothes around, "What am I going to wear?!"

Her dad groggily walked to her room, "What's going on here?" Both her parents looked happily at Mimi, "Oh, how could I forget! Mimi, princess, are you sure you really want to be part of some-'all boy band'?"

"Of course, daddy! They're practically 1/3 of my life! And besides, all the girls will be so jealous that yours truly gets to sing with Yamato Ishida himself!!" she giggled.

"But Mimi, there are so much consequences to this whole 'life as a rock star' thing. I mean, concerts every night, dangerous lurking around every corner, stalkers! Only getting to sleep at hotels, not to mention being in an 'ALL boy band'!"

"Mom!" Mimi complained.

"Oh, let her live her dream, darling. She's waited for a chance like this her whole life, who knows when it'll pass by again." Her mom tried to reason.

Mimi ran and hugged her dad, "I'm sorry, Dad, I grew up, I won't do it again. I've been waiting for something like this my whole life, and now I finally have a chance to live my dream and to meet the guy of my dreams, please let me do this," she said with a hint of melancholy at the end.

Mimi's dad grinned, "Hurry up, princess, or you're going to be late."

--------*-*--------

"She's late," said Yamato. All the guys have been waiting for Mimi for about an hour now, they were all sitting down and playing around with their instruments as they waited for her.

"Are you sure she's coming? You never were good at choosing the right people, you know." Remarked Takeru, lightly tapping on his drums.

Masimachii twitched. Tai forged on, "Yeah, like that girl we met when we were doing that Europe tour. Man, did you have it in for her! I swear she could've been my great-grandmother or something!" The other boys laughed.

"And that tattoo-covered lady at Santa Barbara! Dude, she was like chasing you all over the place!" Michael called out.

"Thanks, guys-for bringing back the pleasant memories," Masimachii groaned.

"And that big, fat lady who kept following him around the stage and giving him Kleenex! She had so much make-up on she practically looked dead!" Takeru yelled, "Seemed like you knew her, Art. Who the heck was she? Madonna's twin?"

"Actually that would be my mother."

The guys saw the look on his face. 'Global Meltdown, Houston, we have a problem' someone muttered as they ducked down to get the full blow from Masimachii.

"Ohayo everyone. Gomen ne, I know I was late." Came a soft voice from behind them.

Masimachii turned around and smiled, "Mimi! So glad you're finally here!" he rushed over to her, leaving the boys.

Takeru sat by his drums, "Is that her?"

"She looks familiar…" said Tai and Michael in unison, "Wait, how do you know her?"

Mimi and Masimachii stood at the side of the stage for a while, talking, while Tai, Michael, and Takeru stared at her. At the corner, Matt just eyed her through the blonde hair that shaded his eyes.

"I know I saw her somewhere before,"  Michael said as he eyed her deeply, "Hey, Matt. Isn't that the girl we saw the other day?"

Matt quickly turned around but remembering that every watched him, he cleared his throat and pretended that he didn't care, "Yeah, so what if she is?" Right before anyone could reply Masimachii and Mimi approached. Mimi looked like she was about to scream in bliss as she saw them, her eyes quickly focused on Yamato.

"Guys, meet Mimi Tachikawa-the newest member of the band! Mimi I'm sure you already know the guys," Masimachii said, "Now don't just go treating her like you do with each other, fighting and bickering at each other all time, she might hurt you," he laughed evilly.

Mimi smacked his back, making him stumble, "Oh, Arty!" she grinned. Takeru and Tai grinned.

"Arty?"

Masimachii groaned when Mimi stepped in front and slowly walked to Matt. She bowed.

"Yamato Ishida. It's an honor to be working together! You're my all time fave!" she flashed him her sincerest smile, making his cheeks turn a shade of crimson.

"Whatever."

Mimi was a bit taken back. I guess he wasn't as nice-looking as I thought he'd be, she thought. Takeru stepped in.

"Sup, Mimi? Don't mind Matt, he's always like that. I'm Takeru-but I'm sure you already know that." He said, reaching his hand out. Mimi was about to take it when Tai pushed him aside.

"Stop hitting on her, it's only her first day," he said, pushing the boy away, "Taichi Kamiya at your service, you could just call me Tai or honey, sweetie, or even your boyfriend-"

"Two-timer!" Takeru called out. Michael stepped in.

"I knew it! You're that girl we saw the other day! Sugoi, what a coincidence!" he exclaimed. Mimi blinked and looked at him like he was insane.

Michael hesitated, "You know, with the whole 'car thing'," he said as he made a gesture of driving a car which only gave him the same looks from everyone else. Mimi gasped.

"Oh my, that was you!"

"Who?" Tai asked.

"Yeah, I remember you, you were with those two other chicks," Takeru said grinning.

"Chicks…?!" Mimi said with a bit of annoyance. How she hated that name.

"C'mon, get over it people. So what if we saw her? It's past, done, forget it and let's start practicing." Matt commanded. Everyone nodded and the guys were just about to get to their instruments, Matt slowly put his guitar on when Mimi popped in.

"You! Now I remember you!" she somehow forgot who she was talking to and lost her temper, "It was YOUR fault that I crashed onto that police officer's bike, you were the one who made me lose my car and not to mention any chances of making it to my high school prom!" she yelled. Matt shot her a glare.

"Please. How juvenile can you get?"

"Juvenile?! I'll show you juven-"

"Alright! C'mon, cut it out, guys. Let's just forget about it, okay?" said Masimachii. Matt and Mimi ignored him, everyone watched the two burn on fire as thunder passed through their eyes. Matt then went back to his guitar and Mimi perked her nose up in the air and walked away. Masimachii sighed.

"Oi vey…This is gonna be some practice."

--------*-*--------

After a long and completely exhausting practice-filled with Mimi and Matt bickering-the gang were reluctant to hit their dressing rooms. The boys had to share a room while Mimi got her own, being that she was the only girl and all. After she had changed and freshened up, she walked outside and wandered around. She found herself on the stage floor and walked over to their instruments. She sat herself onto Takeru's seat, As long as no one's looking… she played clumsily around with the drums having a great time, unaware of the pair of blue eyes that watched her. When she got tired of drums, Mimi headed onto Michaels' guitar, she gazed at the stadium.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you Tenshi Tsubasa's lead singer, Mimi Ta-chi-kawa!" she yelled at the imaginary audience, making cheering sounds with her voice.

"Calm down, folks. There's enough of this singer to go around!" she said.

She hooked it on to the speaker and started strumming a few cords. Hmm…Not bad, guess this isn't that hard after all, she thought as she closed her eyes and started dancing to the music. She played some of the bands' songs and when she was done, she cupped her hands and yelled.

"Yeah, Mimi! Woohoo, we love you!" she hollered as her voice echoed around the stage. Mimi bowed.

"Thank you, thank you! I will be signing autographs after the concert outside!" she winked. She started giggling at herself and stopped when she heard another's join her.

"Not bad, for a 'princess'."

That voice. Mimi spun around and found Matt with his arms crossed, his blue eyes staring at her deeply. She turned red and he laughed, "So, are you always this enthusiastic or is just natural?"

"I-I was just playing around," she said, putting down the guitar, "I thought no one would hear me since no one was here."

"Relax, would ya? We're on the same band now, stop acting like a fanatic," he said. She sighed in relief.

"You still owe me my car," she said coyly.

"Don't tell me you're still ticked off about that? It didn't even get scratched."

Mimi smiled, "Well, yeah…guess so."

"Let's just forget about that whole thing, it was only for fun anyway. Truce?" he reached out his hand. Mimi looked at him questioningly for a while, he just looks soo kawaii, oh why not! She took his hand and shook it.

"Deal."

--------*-*--------

It was Saturday night, the night of the bug concert where Mimi was being introduced. She got her parents special seats up front and same with her best friends, and her uncle Satoshii. She could even see them as she peeked out the curtains, between the crazy fans bursting to get through. Sora, where are you…the thought kept bothering her and she paced back and forth till Masimachii came.

"Mimi! Where have you been? Band meeting now!" he said and pushed her downstage into the dressing room.

"But Sora-"

"Don't worry, I'll tell her you're waiting when she gets here." he said. Gets here? What does he mean by that? Mimi thought. Masimachii pulled her into the dressing room for some band 'words of encouragement'. She could've fainted when she saw the guys in their kawaii ensembles.

"Sugoi! You guys like great!" she bursted.

"Okay, settle down, settle down," Masimachii said, pacing back and forth, pulling his hair out, "Okay, tonight's the big night, when we announce our new singer. Now the fans out there are excited and will probably all faint when you guys come out, I mean, this is our first concert here in Odaiba. Takeru, stop playing with your drums when it's Tai's solo, and Tai, quit blowing kisses to the girls and same goes for you too, Michael. Matt, good job at always keeping it cool even though those girls practically ram the guards when you sing-and Mimi! How could I forget! Do you know all your lines? The lyrics? How about the timing with the songs and-"

"Chill out, Arty! Gosh, is he always like this?" Mimi said.

"All the time…So, who's the lucky girl who'll be chasing you this time?" teased Michael.

"…And now, as you've waited, seen, and died for, here's Ten-shi Tsu-basa! The first and definitely not the last concert we'll get from them here in Odaiba! And tonight, a very special and exciting night we'll finally get to meet the newest addition to the band!!!"

"That's our cue, guys. Let's go and please don't break a leg!" Masimachii exclaimed as the guys filed out of the room, Masimachii took out a cross and kissed it, "Oh God, please don't let us down. Heck, I'm having complete nervous breakdown tonight!"

"At least he's not the only one," Mimi groaned as she walked out, she knocked over Matt.

"Calm down, Princess. You'll do fine, we're all here with you. Don't worry, I'll look out for you," he said and ran off to Masimachii, who was signaling them to go up the stage.

Mimi could've fainted, "His face was this close to mine!" she shrieked and sighed, "Oh, Matt…" she quickly ran to catch up with them. The band got on stage as the curtains were about to open. Takeru sat himself behind his drums, Tai sat by his piano, Matt and Michael strapped their guitars on, and Mimi took the mike. She breathed, this is it, Mimi…You're big debut.

"Party like a rock star, kick a little ass!" Tai hollered as they prepared. The curtains flew open and they could hear the drowned screams of their fans beneath the flashing lights, they waved, Mimi could hear and almost see her family and friends cheering for her, and the rest of her other newfound, adoring fans that would soon be asking for her autograph.
