Rage woke up the next day. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and groggily got out of his bed. He looked around the enormous room. Spike was tossing and turning, screaming then laughing, though no one woke up to that anymore because they had become so accustomed to it.
"Pssst. Rage!" Someone whispered.
Rage spun around to see Johnny, also awake. "What?" He asked while walking towards Johnny.
"What exactly happened to you and Emi?" Johnny asked.
Rage froze. "What do you mean?"
Johnny shifted so that he was sitting up on the bunk bed. "Oh come on. You can't play dumb on me of all people. After all, I was the one who saw Emi knee you in the...erm, you know where."
Rage sighed. "I was a jerk. I kissed Ni-Na...not like consciously or anything...well sort of consciously...basically, the 'heat of the moment' made me kiss her after Emi broke up with me."
Johnny arched his eyebrow. "Come again?"
"Emi and I broke up in an all-out argument. It was then that Ni-Na sort of 'seduced' me."
Johnny nodded. "Oh, I get it. Then everything just happened right? Like Ni-Na kissing you in front of us all?"
Rage shrugged. "I guess." He paused for a moment. "Johnny, what should I do?"
"Rage, you need to show her you still care for her."
"I've tried!" Rage exclaimed. "I've called her, I've called her friends, I even followed her for a week. She just ignores me!"
"Oh come on Rage, you can't just do the typical 'guy thing.' You have to do something different."
"Like what?"
"Think about it Rage. You embarrassed her in front of everyone, so now embarrass YOURSELF in front of everyone."
Rage's face changed from a look of confusion to the familiar one of mischief.
Johnny grinned. "I take it you have an idea?"
Rage smirked. "Yeah...I think I do."

"OK, so push 'play' when I signal to you, OK?" Rage asked Maho.
Maho nodded. "Sure, but what's this all about?"
"I'm going to get my girlfriend back."

Emi combed her wet hair, styling her the blue strands the way she'd done all her life.
"This shampoo IS NOT my customized brand!" Alice shrieked. "And WHAT is up with this soap? It's not even vanilla scented!"
"Girl, SHUT UP!!!" Janet yelled.
"I WON'T!!!" Alice shouted back.
Emi sighed as the two began arguing. She continued to comb her hair until it was style perfectly. Then she dressed in her snowboarding clothes, which would suffice for dancing, along with her signature beanie. She checked herself in front of the mirror to make sure everything was perfect. After doing a quick check, she walked outside of the bathroom where Charmy was already waiting.
"Another day to face Rage." Emi whispered to Charmy.
"It must suck..." Charmy said sympathetically.
"You bet."
Soon everyone was gathered together again. The DJ's voice welcomed them and explained the day's cycle. Then he called for a warm-up session. Everyone stretched and practiced, ensuring that they would perform well that day.
"OK!" The DJ's voice exclaimed. "Let's start this! First up is-"
He was interrupted by a loud blast of music. A rhythmic song began to play...a song that Emi recognized at once.
"Still, still in my heart...here in my heart...oh~! Still in my heart...deep in my heart," the off-tune voice of Rage sang. He had a microphone in his hand and was standing several feet away from Emi, and he was SINGING! He turned his face to Emi, looking at her with his familiar bad-boy smile. She remained composed, but inside, she was practically falling apart. Her heart began to pound.
Rage pointed to Emi and sang his heart out, completely off key. "Why? Why did you...have to go away...always hard to stay...kiss before going over, over you." A spotlight came out of nowhere and people looked up to see its source. Baby-lon was manning the spotlight while Maho had a set of headphones on, checking the music. Emi tried to refrain from smiling, although she could feel a slight grin reach her lips.
Rage fell to the floor dramatically. "Tell me, was this really true romance...or just a fantasy? ...I can't believe what we've been through." He kneeled in front of her, still clutching the microphone and singing. As he continued to sing, Emi could feel the grin become more of a smile. Her cheeks were beginning to feel warm and she felt like at any minute, she would faint from the heat of flattery and her snowboarding clothes.
Rage went on, stretching his arms out over-dramatically. "Or was it just a fantasy...of what I thought could be reality? ...Oh baby, can't you just see...that I can't go on...never without you?"
Emi heard the song ending and felt herself smile and blush, concentrating on the floor and hoping she could be serious. She began to giggle and soon began to laugh. She dropped to the floor where Rage was kneeling, his arms still outstretched, and hugged him nearly to the point of suffocation.
"Damn, I NEVER thought you'd ever hug me like that again!" Rage laughed.
Emi giggled. "I never thought you'd sing for me."
Rage kissed her on the forehead. "You're worth every off-key note and then some."
Emi playfully hit Rage on the side of his head with her beanie. "Don't you ever go out with another woman...even if it is for less than an hour."
Rage laughed. "Don't you ever argue with me and break up with me in the midst of anger."
Emi smiled. "Fine then!" She exclaimed as she hugged him again.
"Aww, ain't that just sweet?" Janet said, pretending to wipe tears.
"Give a round of applause to the reunited couple!" Johnny exclaimed as he began to clap. Everyone, including Alice (although she did it in more of a bored fashion), clapped.
"Emi and Rage...sitting in a tree...K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Charmy sang jokingly.
"Charmy!" Emi exclaimed, feeling her cheeks go red again.
Rage quickly brought his lips down to hers, softly, briefly. Emi could hear the others cheer and call out.
Rage broke away from the kissed and grinned. "Well, there's no tree...but there definitely was some K-I-S-S-I-N-G."
Emi playfully hit him with the beanie again.
"K-I-S-S-I-N-G...kih...kih...kihsssss...kihsssseeng...KISSING!" Spike exclaimed, the concept just dawning on him.
Everyone, including Spike laughed.
"Rage sings good!" He declared as he clapped his hands over-enthusiastically.
"Thank you, thank you!" Rage said as he pretended to bow performer's style.
Alice stood at the side impatiently. The entertainment in her eyes had worn away. "Can we start now?" She asked, breaking the mood.
"Oh of course, Miss PMS Princess." Rage grumbled.
"At least I'm not a STALKER!" Alice shot back,
"I don't know who the hell you think you are, but I don't go around stalking anyone, with the exception of Emi, let alone some bratty self-conscious kid whose panties are obviously twisted and shoved far up the ass!"
Everyone tried to stifle their laughs, although they couldn't help but chuckle at Rage's diss.
Alice's cheeks turned to a shade of crimson. NO ONE had ever said such a disrespectful thing to her in her life.
"You ought to stop caring so much about you and your damn self-accomplishments and try to think about how other people view you in the world." Rage concluded, crossing his arms. "Come on," Rage motioned to everyone else, "we might as well dance now since 'someone' here has an urge to and she obviously comes before everyone else."
Everyone shuffled past Alice and followed Rage. Alice controlled the tears. "They're just jealous because I'm better...they're just jealous because I'm better." She repeated over and over...but this time, the words that always made her smile, made the tears slide down her cheeks.
