Chapter 20: Picture Perfect:
"Amara! Hi.is Catrina.oh good, you're up.. hurry get dressed Mina wants us to meet her at school." Serena said smiling holding a camera. For what reason would Mina want us to meet her at school? Serena wants to go.to the school? It's Saturday!
"I'm ready now.but what's that for?" Before I could wait for an answer Serena grabbed hold of my hand and we were headed out the apartment and down the stairs.
"Be careful!" Michelle yelled out the door, as I was able to wave at her before Serena dragged me around the corner.
When we got to the school Serena showed me a nice spot to hide in the bushes and wait even though I had no idea what I was waiting for. Then I saw exactly what it was, it was Mina and Sieya, they were talking and I guess Serena wanted to spy.
"I don't know if Mina is going to like you taking pictures of her and Sieya." Before I could finish the sentence Serena was already snapping pictures.
"This is so exciting.oh I have to get a closer shot!" I tried to grab hold of her but before I could, which she seemed to be doing a lot of things today before I can stop her ran out of the bushes and right into Sieya and Mina's face. Mina looked shocked and Sieya didn't look the least bit happy about the whole set up.
"I got to go." Sieya said looking at them and finally spotting me in the bushes and waving me over. Now, I got caught I still have no idea what's going on. Sieya talked to us for a second and then said he had to leave, he had things to do.
After that strange scene with Sieya everyone decided to go to Crown and drown our thoughts in ice cream and like always we ended up meeting with everyone else.
"So these are the pictures you were having a fit to get taken Mina?" Ami said flipping threw all the pictures, which were nothing but black and orange blurs and large white stops and shots of Serena's fingers. "So what's with the pictures?" Mina said that it was nothing but she had to go. There was something she had to do later on and she couldn't be late.
"What?" I said wondering what this girl could be up to after the whole picture deal.
"I'm the Lights Assistant!" She said with the biggest smile I had seen on anyone. It was so big I thought that he face would crack if she even moved an eyelash.
"I got to go alright! See ya! Wait a second.if you guys want to see me in action come here and try to be on time.they do love it when you're on time.I think all stars do.well I got to go. Later." Everyone looked in shock as she happily bounced out the door and down the street before getting up and following her.
When we arrived at the studio the Lights were sitting in chairs and practicing but where was Mina?
"Hey.guys look whose here is that Itabashi Saki. she's a news camera woman. Oh wow, I wonder who else is going to be here?" Rae said looking at every move that Ms. Saki made.
We watched the Lights start their voice training. One thing is for sure, they do sound really great. What do they need training for? I guess I'll never understand this idol thing. Serena and I moved to get a closer look at them practicing until Saki started taking pictures and out of nowhere, there was Mina trying to stop her.
"Will you excuse me.you are very much in my way for the best shot of this whole day.now move." She said stepping away from Mina and still taking pictures, I guess Mina thought she was a fan, if she only knew whom she was really talking to.
I think the real trouble started at the Lights signing session, when Saki was taking more pictures and then Mina started passing out her own signatures but I think the tension really blew when Saki pulled her away.
"Listen.you seem to be really busy and it's getting late so we're going to head home okay. This was a really fun do, thanks for inviting us Mina." Lita said as Mina walked us to the exit.
"Anytime.well, how about tomorrow, they are filming some drink commercial in the country, you want to tag along. I know it will be fun." She was smiling so bright and looking so happy, we couldn't turn her down.
"Amara.Michelle.I'm home." I said quietly walking down the hall of the large apartment and stopping at their door. By the sound of what was going on inside I wasn't going to disturb them, so I walked over to Trista and Horuka's room but decided not to say anything. It has to be hard for Trista to get Horuka to bed sometimes, since she's so full of energy in the morning so I'll just leave them alone.
"Good night everyone." I said quietly before going in my room and going to bed.
At the shoot, the Lights were smiling and talking and doing the whole celebrity thing and it was really fun watching, even when Mina came over and sat with us on her break that made it even better.
"I brought everyone some juice. It's what the guys are drinking.cool huh?" We smiled and sipped it all at the same time and spit it out.
"How can they drink this.this stuff is awful.who ever made this should be shot." Lita said pouring out hers followed by mine, Rae, Ami, Serena, but Mina decided to drink it.if they were drinking it, she was drinking it. More power to her.no way!
The Lights were taking pictures in the photo studio after the long commercial session and once again there was Saki taking a lot more pictures.
"What is with her!" Mina said about to head over there, she still didn't get who she was and she looked so happy maybe we should just let her do her job and stay out of it.
"I'm hungry.anything to eat around here?" I said agreeing with Serena on that one.
"I'm not sure but there is a convenient store about a mile for here if you wanted to walk." Mina said talking to Rae about something that Yaten had said today.
"Walk? Catrina.will you go with me?" I stopped talking to Ami and told Serena that I would. Besides, I never really walked a whole mile before, in fact I never did a lot of things I was doing before now, and all of them I liked so how bad could this be?
"See you in a few." I said waving at all of them as Serena and I began our walk.
When we got back Mina and Saki were arguing about something and the Lights were nowhere to be found so I guess they decided to go somewhere else for pictures.
"Mina.we're leaving." I came and told her before she kept arguing with Saki about the pictures she was taking.I bet this will go on all night.
"I'll meet you at Crown in the morning okay.bye!" I told everyone stepping inside the apartment to find Amara and Michelle sitting cuddly on the couch together.
"You will never guess what happened today.and yesterday!" I said falling on the couch next to them as they listened to my stories about how to live like an idol and all the Lights go threw in a period of two days...
When I woke up TV was going but since I couldn't go back to sleep I decided to listen to it before I got up and meet the girls at Crown.
"New Report.thanks to the Sailor Scouts once again one of our own camera persons was saved. Itabashi Saki was found unconscious outside of a photography studio a few minutes from here but she is known to be doing just find but may take a while before returning to work. That is all for the late breaking story today and thanks again Sailor Scouts where or who ever you are. This is Kilotashi Ranson signing off." Someone turned off the TV and I looked at my clock.
"Oh no.I'm late." I said jumping out of bed and into the shower and everything from that point on was a blur.
When I got to Crown everyone was sitting around talking but it seemed that the subject was changed when I walked up.
"Did anyone catch the news?" I said sitting down as Mina came bursting threw the door and laid a lot of pamphlets out on the table, they were for some auditions.
"Now this is a definite to being a star.I brought some extras for you guys.well I got to go to work.I can't wait.later." She smiling and once again bouncing out the door.
"How long do you think this will last?" Ami said looking at everyone and picking up two pamphlets and studying the covers.
"Forever." Everyone said in unison laughing as Andrew brought over more shakes.
I doubt Mina will ever get over this.oh well, she's lucky.
"Amara! Hi.is Catrina.oh good, you're up.. hurry get dressed Mina wants us to meet her at school." Serena said smiling holding a camera. For what reason would Mina want us to meet her at school? Serena wants to go.to the school? It's Saturday!
