"Minako-chan!" Usagi shouted, running ahead of Ami, Rei, Makoto, ChibiUsa, and ChibiChibi, who were following several feet behind her.
Minako shook her head, slowely popping out of a daze as she glanced towards Usagi, smiling.
"Usagi-chan!"
Usagi climbed onto the stage and continued to scramble, sliding to a stop infront of Minako.
"That was so great!" she said with excitment, clapping her hands together over her heart.
Ami, Rei, Makoto, ChibiUsa, and ChibiChibi soon joined them.
"Thank you..."
"That was wonderful!" Ami said, taking her place beside Usagi.
"Wow! You have a really great voice!" ChibiUsa added.
"ChibiChibi!" ChibiChibi said in agreement, nodding her head with a kawaii smile.
Makoto nodded as well. "I think you will be a definate pick! That was the best audition you have ever done!"
Rei smiled, though it seemed more like a smirk. She wanted to congradulate Minako, but yet at the same time, she was jealous.
'I bet I could do just as good...' she thought silently.
Though, through all the commotion of her friends, Minako hadn't seemed to be paying any attention. Her eyes had been locked onto the rose she was holding, and a blush was solid on her cheeks.
"Minako-chan?" Usagi asked, waving her hand infront of Minako's face.
All of them silenced, watching her with curiosity.
"ChibiChibi?" ChibiChibi blinked several times, then grabbed onto the stem of the rose above Minako's fingers.
Minako jerked slightly, quickly coming out of her trance. She noticed them all staring at her, and ChibiChibi let go of the rose. She tried to smile.
"Umm.... what?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.
"You're blushing..." ChibiUsa said with a bit of a grin.
"Bah!" Minako quickly turned around, trying to cover her face with her hands.
"Sooo!" Rei said, stepping up closer to Minako.
"Where'd you get the rose?" she asked with a smirk.
Minako hesitantly turned and looked at Rei.
"From... someone." she said with a nervous smile.
"Yaten!" ChibiChibi exclaimed, clapping her hands and giggling.
In shock, all of the senshi turned their attention to ChibiChibi.
"She said something... by herself?!" Usagi asked in shock.
ChibiChibi giggled again, pointing her finger inbetween Minako and Rei.
"Yaten!" she repeated.
The eyes of the senshi followed ChibiChibi's finger. Surely enough, Yaten had come out of the judgement room and was walking towards the stage. Minako smiled brightly, waving at him.
Giggles spread throughout the group as they looked at each other, then to Minako and Yaten.
"Maybe there's something we missed." Rei said, smiling mischieveously.
More giggles were heard.
However, Minako and Yaten paid no attention. Yaten climbed up a set of several stairs on the corner of the stage and made his way over to Minako.
"Good job..." he said, stopping infront of her with a bit of a smile.
"Really? You liked it?!" asked Minako with glee, still holding the rose.
The senshi intently watched them, staying silent.
Yaten shook his head slowely.
"I didn't like it..."
Minako stared at him, almost in a state of shock as her smile slowely faded.
"I loved it..."
Slowely her smile began to return and her eyes seemed to sparkle.
Yaten winked at her, then turned his back towards her. He glanced back over his shoulder in her direction.
"Tell me again... what was the name of the song?"
Minako blinked once, placing her finger on her chin, then beamed.
"Ah! It was called 'I Wanna Be With You.' "
Yaten kind of nodded, smiling once more.
"Oh, thanks... well, I'll keep that in mind." he chuckled, then placed his hands in his pockets.
Minako deeply blushed. Her friends blew into another wave of giggles.
"I'll be back... so wait here for me." Yaten added.
With that said, he looked forward and began walking away. After a minute, he disappeared back into the judgement room.
Rei came up behind Minako and placed her hand on her shoulder. The other senshi crowded around her.
"Ooo! Mina!" they all shouted in unison, then began to laugh.
Minako smiled, then joined the laughter as well.
The remaining time left in the hour went by more quickly than Minako had expected. A loud speaker above the stage came on. One of the judges spoke.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, the results are in! May all rised please return to their seats and may all of the contestants backstage come forward and stand side-by-side on the stage."
Minako's heart began to pound. It was time...
"Good luck!" Usagi shouted as the senshi scrambled to get back to their seats.
The door opened and the judges began coming out in the very order they had gone in. Each of them returned to their seats. The girls backstage began making their way out, forming a long line, side-by-side, on the stage.
Minako shook her head, slowely popping out of a daze as she glanced towards Usagi, smiling.
"Usagi-chan!"
Usagi climbed onto the stage and continued to scramble, sliding to a stop infront of Minako.
"That was so great!" she said with excitment, clapping her hands together over her heart.
Ami, Rei, Makoto, ChibiUsa, and ChibiChibi soon joined them.
