Chapter Two
Ari was promptly woken up by pressure on her butt. Her eyes opened, and, turning over, she heard a masculine yell, then a thump. She sat up, and looked over the edge of her bed. She was surprised to see a young man with spiky brown hair, wearing a red vest over a black shirt, and grey camouflage pants flat on his butt who was previously sitting on hers. Ari was a bit startled.
"Who are you, and what the *&$*&$ are you doing in my room?!"
The young man was slightly taken aback by such an innocent looking girl using language like that, but to avoid further injuries that might be caused by her rampant hormones he decided to answer her questions.
"Ah, I'm Rage, and… I was sent by Nanori to wake you up, Ari."
"Nanori?"
"The Announcer Dude, as you know him."
"Ah. Why does he want me to wake up?"
"I have no idea. You should get dressed in light clothes, cause I don't know why, and then go see him."
"Okay… Well? Shoo!"
And Rage was promptly shooed. Ari got out of bed, and headed towards her closet. Instead of her original choice of clothes (fuzzy sweater and blue jeans) she chose a light blue tank top and white shorts. She got dressed, and opened the door in her room. In the hallway, she caught a glimpse of neon green as someone ran by her.
"Hey, can you tell me where I can find Nanori?"
The blur turned in to a person as it ran backward to answer her question.
"Yeah, follow me. By the way, my name's Charmy. I already know who you are, Nanori told me. Ari, right?"
"Yeah. So, did he like, tell everyone here?"
"Pretty much… Yeah, he did."
"Greaat. Nanori was well fit for the Announcer."
"Why's that?"
"He has a big mouth."
Charmy giggled.
"Hehehe … Ok, his room is over here. See ya later."
And with that, she ran off.
Ari tentatively twisted the doorknob, pulled the door open and went in. She saw six Dance Dance Revolution machines, and Nanori sitting on the left bar of the 4th mix plus machine… The very one she had been sucked in to. She saw Orion.78 on the screen, about to be chosen on Maniac.
"Ironic, ne?"
Ari grinned.
"You have no idea."
Nanori's face hardened.
"The reason I summoned you here is…
