[.:Behind The Music ~ Three Lights:.]
'Open the door get on the floor, everybody walk like a dinosaur!' The music blared through the room as Minako did some crazy dance moves while the other girls just looked on. 'Boom boom, shaka-laka boom boom!'
Minako had been in a great mood all day long and her excitement was bubbling over. "Should we stop her before she hurts herself?" Makoto asked leaning over to Rei who just shook her head. The reminisces of strawberry daiquiris were scattered among the room.
"No, let her get it out of her system, maybe she'll tire herself out!" Rei huffed and folded her arms.
The girls were going to be staying overnight at Minako's house for a sleep over. Sure they were pretty much too old for this now but Minako had insisted. Since the senshi hadn't been called for any more battles recently the girls needed to make excuses to get them all together. This time however was different, it seemed that Minako had something up her sleeve.
By now Usagi had gotten up and joined Minako in their motions that no one could really mistaken as dancing, they looked more like they had been set on fire and were trying, without luck, to put it out! Usagi had failed to put her drink down before attempting her feat and ended up spilling the sticky liquid everywhere. It was probably better off for her in the long run, let's just say that she really didn't need any more liquor!
"I think they share a brain!" Rei snorted again.
Ami laughed but then concentrated and looked as though she was in deep thought. "No, Rei, I don't think that's possible… well maybe if we…" She started to count on her fingers. "One… three… seven… two… Oh damn, I think I lost a couple of fingers! Where'd they go?"
"Ami it was a joke, lighten up." Makoto laughed at her and noticed that Minako and Usagi had fallen back on Minako's bed in exhaustion. "Done?" Makoto was the soberest of them all and was enjoying
The two blonds laughed as they tried to catch their breath. Minako sat up and looked at her watch. "Oh my god!"
"What?" Usagi sat up alarmed thinking that she had hurt herself.
"It's time!" Minako stumbled off her bed and staggered over to the television set.
"Time for what?" Rei asked. Minako hadn't told them why she had suddenly come up with the idea for a sleep over. The girls had graduated from school and were about to go into college, but Minako hadn't changed, not in the least.
The girls sat around and looked at the TV while random commercials played and Minako shut the lights off. The program was about to start and they could see that it was VH1's Behind the Music. No one seemed too interested in it, until they saw who it was about. The title screen read: Behind the Music: Three Lights.
The girls gasped and Minako just sat back proud of herself doing little winks and victory poses. The show started and Minako pulled a giant bowl of popcorn out from nowhere.
~Life wasn't always glamour and fame for Japan's young idol group. From their early beginnings to their mysterious disappearance, this is Behind the Music, Three Lights.~
"This is going to be good!" Minako was smiling from ear to ear. The Lights barely ever came up in conversation since they left. Everyone missed them so much but missing them wasn't going to bring them back and they eventually just stopped talking about them to avoid feeling the loneliness that would follow the conversation.
Actually the death of the Lights conversations came when Mamoru and Usagi broke up. Mamoru had a small problem, I guess the polite way to put it was that he had a constant urge to pleasure himself. Seeing that Usagi wasn't going to help him much in this department he decided to go to America to study. He figured that in America the more liberal society would accept his masturbation needs. Much to their surprise though Usagi didn't take the news as bad as they thought she would, perhaps she was suspecting it. Either way, the girls were unsure how upset she really was on the inside and decided that bringing up the loss of friends while she may still be mourning the loss of her boyfriend (Pole Stroker), future husband and future child wouldn't be such a great idea.
"Minako, why didn't you tell us about this?" Rei asked making head nods in Usagi's direction as if saying 'HELLO!'
Usagi noticed Rei's gestures but just figured that she was having as hard of a time holding her head still as she was. She drank how many?
"I though it would be a surprise!" Minako beamed and turned her face back to the TV while shoving more food in her mouth and washing it down with some more daiquiris, the straw was a long gone lost cause.
~The early beginnings of the Lights saw hardship after hardship on their way to stardom. The road to fame was plagued with pot holes and each Light found their own hole.~
A picture of the lights came up on the screen looking the way the girls remembered them, but then that picture was replaced by a younger and a little less mature version.
~Seiya, Yaten and Taiki, the members of the idol group started out as wiggers trying to catch a break. They were spotted by a talent agent on Star Search singing 'On the Good Ship Lolli-Pop' and given a record deal. Their agent, Mr Hoshi, cleaned up their image and made them presentable for the mass market.~
A scene of the lights and their manager/agent, Mr Hoshi, came up on the screen.
~Things always seemed smooth to the public's eye but there was more going on behind the scenes. When on their own time, without the eye of the camera on them, the bickering and fights would break out. Most quarrels were between Seiya and Yaten leaving Taiki as the peace maker but Taiki wasn't what he appeared on the outside either.~
A picture of Taiki coming between a kicking and screaming Seiya and Yaten was shown and then the picture switched to a purple suit laid out on a bed. Ami's eyes went wide, she wondered just how much of Taiki's private life they were going to show.
~The casinos called and Taiki listened. Gambling became his obsession and passion. The majority of the Three Light's earnings went to fuel his need to gamble.~
Shows Taiki at a craps table with hookers gathered around him in a pure Vegas setting.
~Soon the tension built up and Seiya and Yaten confronted him about his spending of their funds. Taiki had to find another way to get money.~
Shows Taiki surrounded by a different bunch of hookers.
~Pimping. Taiki began to collect a large amount of 'willing-to-do- anything' fans, they consisted of the early members of their fan club, and began to pimp them out to his playboy friends. The money was rolling in and his addiction was being fed. Taiki covered his business well and kept good records of his earnings. To anyone else this would have looked as though he was studying all the time. Intelectual? I don't think Harvard would teach a course in Pimp Daddy Magnetics!~
Shows a picture of Taiki looking up from a book smiling.
~Taiki also had another addiction to cover up.~
'Could this get any worse?' Ami thought to herself as she looked down and shook her head. The television went to commercial and the other girls just sat completely confused.
"Minako… um… did you…. Um… know it was going to be like… you know… like this?" Makoto stuttered out.
Minako for once was not right on top of things and the surprise of what she saw was still fresh in her mind. "I had no idea."
"Ami, you knew him best, did you know that any of this was going on?" Usagi turned and looked back at their blue haired friend.
"Well you see, it's like this…" Ami was cut off by the introductory music coming on.
"Shhhhh!!" Minako silenced them all and glued her eyes back to the show.
~Once Taiki saw the money that he could make by the showing of human flesh he became greedy.~
A shot of his group of hookers once again but this time showing a certain blue haired fan holding up a Three Lights' fan club membership card #25.
~He figured if selling the bodies of his fans could rake in this kind of money, imagine what marketing his own body could do! Taiki became a male stripper.~
Shows ridiculous clip of Taiki stripping on stage dressed as a teacher. A female stripper joins him from behind dressed in a Juuban district school uniform, it was Ami.
~Life usually sets it up so that the student learns from the teacher, but in Taiki's case it turned out to be the other way around. This blue haired student, whose name is still unknown, taught Taiki about life and love after gambling, stripping and pimping.~
Shows a picture of Ami and Taiki sitting in a rowboat.
~They looked like a match made in heaven, but that heaven also had thunderclouds. It was rumored that the couple had become pregnant. Normally this would have devastated a career such as Taiki's but due to forces unknown the girl lost the baby while being attacked by this hideous looking creature~
Shows picture of Ami getting attacked by Sailor Teacher.
~On the outside Taiki's life seemed to be going fine but who knows what forces drove the Lights to break up and disappear from the lime light? When we return, a stubborn mind and a needle of heroine, what does that get you? An explanation for Yaten's snobby attitude and sudden mood swings.~
"AMI!!!" Rei bellowed through the room. "You were dating Taiki, posing as a hooker, stripping and pregnant and you just happened to forget to tell us?"
The four girls stood over Ami and looked down upon her. "College is expensive, I had to find a way to pay for it… my mother is addicted to sniffing glue and won't pay to send me to school so I had to come up with the money myself." She meagerly tried to defend herself. "Besides, those eye, those lips, that ASS! How could any girl say no to Taiki?" She got that far off dreamy look in her eyes.
"Oh brother!" Usagi smacked her forehead.
"It almost makes you scared to see what the other two did!" Makoto looked at Minako. "Is there something you want to tell us before we find out by mistake?"
Minako held her hands up in defense. "Why are you looking at me when you say that?"
"Probably because I can't think of anyone in the world who wanted to get in Yaten's pants more than you!" Makoto pointed a menacing finger at her friend while the others stifled a giggle.
"It's back on!" Minako jumped away and back to her place on the floor right in front of the television.
A picture of Yaten at an autograph signing appeared on the screen.
~In the public eyes Yaten appeared to be the cool attitude Light. Nothing phased him and it appeared that he cared for nothing either. Nothing came near this man except his drugs.~
Shows Yaten with a pissy face and slight bags under his eyes.
~The night was his sanction and Yaten took full advantage of the shadows that it created. Dressed in butterfly wings and a leotard complete with face paint and body glitter, Yaten would leave the idol scene and head out to the raver clubs of the city.~
Shows home video of Yaten dancing in a rave club and going completely nuts with his hands and body while some techno music blares in the background.
~The club scene also introduced Yaten to intravenous drug use. No longer satisfied with the simple high her received from XTC he moved on to heroine.~
Shows Yaten shooting up in the bathroom of the club.
~A man with no face and a lot of money to burn, the clubs loved him as did his pushers. The addiction was bad and usually left him with no recollection of his time. When the clubs let out in the early morning a smacked up and broken Yaten would be released on to the streets again to wander for a purpose and direction.~
A short video of Yaten skinny-dipping in the fountain of a park with a creepy smiley face covering the parts of him that would be unsuitable for younger viewers appears on the screen.
~At a time when the normal people of the world were just waking up and heading out their doors for work, a young Yaten would shed his clothes and streak through the crowds of business suits to run naked in the park. What was going through his head? Well find out when we come back from this short break.~
"That damn smiley face covered everything good!" Minako jumped up pissed.
"Ummm… Minako, if you didn't notice, the smiley face wasn't the most important thing that you just saw." Usagi tried to calm her down.
"Wow, I didn't know that Yaten was addicted to drugs." Makoto commented looking at the television thoughtfully. "Minako, did you have any idea?" Minako shook her head.
"I was over at their apartment all of the time and I didn't have any idea." Ami said now that her secret was already out in the open. "He hid it so well, the only problem I knew he had was his bladder problem."
"I wish we had known." Rei said feeling bad.
"About his bladder problem?" Ami asked confused.
The other girls sweat dropped and Rei continued to think of Yaten's situation. "What the hell am I saying? He looked happy as hell! Screw him! He had fun!"
~In a rare interview with Yaten that has never before been seen on national television his drug binge is caught on tape.
Interviewer: Now that's what I call 'NAKED THREE LIGHTS!' (moves closer to talk to Yaten who is dancing around naked in the fountain) Yaten, can we get a statement?
Yaten: Sure, I'd do anything for my fans! (does cheesy superman pose not caring to cover himself at all)
Interviewer: May I ask why you're dancing around in a public fountain nude?
Yaten: Simple! (he says it as though it was obvious) The plants, trees and flowers were all talking to one another. When they saw me coming they started talking to me too! They told me they would watch my shoes for me while I danced in the fountain.
Interviewer: Are you saying that you talk to plants?
Yaten: Plants, trees and flowers. Hey, if they didn't talk to you don't blame me, maybe you're just mean! (storms off splashing out of the fountain, not bothering to grab his clothes, only his shoes)
Interviewer: And there you have it.
Now you know why we couldn't show that to you on national television before now!~
A picture of Yaten and Luna taking a bath flashes on the screen.
~Another secret obsession of Yaten's was to bath with cats. No, no bestiality here ladies, don't get your panties in a bunch, but some swear that they've heard the cat talk before.~
Hey folks, if you want to see what happens or just want to know what the rest of the show is like give us a review! We weren't sure whether or not anyone would read this, let alone like this. Don't get us wrong, we are two of the biggest Starlight's fans in the entire world, but we don't have to be serious all of the time, ne?
'Open the door get on the floor, everybody walk like a dinosaur!' The music blared through the room as Minako did some crazy dance moves while the other girls just looked on. 'Boom boom, shaka-laka boom boom!'
