I gotta few things to explain about this chapter, so shut up and listen!
First: The boys don't know who Mina really is, so they are going to call her by the fake name she gives them; and that's the only time it (the fake name) is going to be used, unless one of her friends call her that name when she's around the guys, get it?
Second: Also, the Gundam dudes are ex-Gundam pilots, and yes, they listen to Relena because um..she's a "Princess" and all, though I'd really like to kick her sorry princess ass.
Third: I don't own the song, which is Groovy Blue, a song from the anime/manga DN Angel.
Fourth: Read and review. Reviews aren't all that hard, just say whether you liked it or not, simple as that.
*....* - Means someone is thinking.

"Mina open your eyes." Rei said as she put the scissors down.
"No! I'm scaaarreed!" Mina wailed as she turned from the mirror, her hands still covering her eyes.
"Come on Mina! Rei spent a lot of time fixing your hair!" Makoto took Mina by the shoulders and spun her around so she faced the mirror.
"Noooo!!" Rei pried Mina's hands away from her face, and Makoto smacked her upside the head, causing her to open her eyes. "Makoto! Geez! That really hur....." Mina trailed off as she looked at her new haircut in the mirror. Her eyes turned the size of dinner plates as she leaned closer to examine parts of it.
"Well?" Rei asked impatiently.
"I love it!" Mina lunged at Rei and hugged her tightly. Rei had spent four hours cutting and dying Mina's hair. There were bangs in front, and on either side strands of hair hung down past her shoulders, and the back was cut short. Part of the strands hanging in front had red ribbons tied around part of them, and the ends were dyed red.
(AN: If this is hard to imagine, then click on this: it's a pic I found at fredart.com, and even though it's black and white, you understand what her hair looks like. Got it?)
"Good, because if you didn't-" Rei began, but was quickly cut off by Mina.
"Rei, I don't think guys have bangs." Mina said as she wrapped one of the bangs around her finger.
"Of course they do!" Rei snapped, causing Mina to jump. "Besides, most guys don't have a three foot long braid!" Both Mina and Makoto backed away from Rei, who was slowly advancing on them, ready to pounce.
"Ah...look at the time! We should get going to that audition of yours Mina or else we'll be late!" Makoto grabbed Mina by the arm and the two ran out of the room, leaving Rei behind.
~*~
"Next!" Quatre called as he massaged his temples. Pretty much all the guys who had come couldn't sing at all. Heero was typing away on his laptop, Duo was listening to his cd player, Trowa was reading a book, and Wufei was sharpening his katana.
"Go already!" A female voice said as a boy stumbled onto the stage.
"You didn't have to do that to me, Rei!" The boy yelled back as he glared at a hidden figure.
"Kyo you can do it!" Another voice called.
"You know it Mako!" Quatre was surprised to see the boy pose, giving the victory sign.
"Hurry up already, shonen." Wufei growled as he looked up at the boy.
"Ah! Sorry!" The boy smiled at them, catching Duo's attention.
"Woah! He's cute!" Duo whispered as he nudged Trowa.
"Your name and what song you're going to be singing." Quatre said as he tried to remember where he put the Tylenol.
"Kyo Aino!" The boy said smiling happily at them.
"Song?" Trowa asked, not looking up from his book.
"Er..." All five of them looked at the boy, who seemed to not know what to sing.
"Just sing something you like." Quatre said, feeling sorry for the boy.
"Move it in, move it out! Shove it in, shove it out!-" The boy was cut off by a shoe hitting him in the head.
"BAKA!" A girl with raven hair came out on stage to retrieve her shoe. She smacked the boy upside the head before putting her shoe back on. "Sing something else!" With another smack, the girl walked back off stage.
"Hey Q-man, that girl looked familiar." Duo whispered as he leaned over Trowa to talk to Quatre.
"Are you going to sing or not?" Wufei glared at the boy who was rubbing his head.
"Ah yeah! Sorry bout that!" The boy looked at someone off stage, and music began to play.
"It's a bubble Groovy Blue Just like the end of the century When you're down and fallen You see your dreams Dance in the darkness Groovy Blue Wrapped in a blanket I want to hold you A kitten on the verge of tears"
Mina grinned as she watched their expressions. She was hot shit and she knew it. *Hell yeah! I just know I'm going to get in! Who could refuse such a cute boy...er girl like me? No one!* Mina felt herself getting into the song. The nervousness she first felt melted away as she continued on. Singing was the one thing she loved to do, and singing in front of people only made it more enjoyable to do.
"I want to destroy it secretly I want to steal as if I knew how"
Quatre sat there stunned. This guy could sing! *Praise Allah!* Quatre forgot all about his headache as he watched the boy sing. He was very talented, though it didn't seem all that obvious at the way he acted. He was careless and didn't seem all that bright. *Just like Duo.* Quatre smiled at that thought. Leaning back in his chair, he watched the boy in front of him, knowing that he was the one.
"Just a little more and you will get hurt Love is wonderful when it grazes by Just a little more and I will burn out Living in a fleeting night"
Duo had taken his headphones off at hearing the boy sing, and just sat there grinning like a fool. The boy seemed to be one of those pretty boys, and he had to admit that he was cute, but he didn't swing that way. *Nope! Women are for me!* Duo laughed but stopped quickly, not wanting to ruin the song. He glanced over at Heero, and was shocked to see him watching the boy. His grin disappeared and a mischievous smile appeared in its place.
"The future Groovy Blue is an excuse for cowardice No matter who it is It is pointless And sad"
Trowa placed his book down and gazed up at the boy on stage who looked to be enjoying himself. He had a good voice, which was a slight surprise, considering most of the guys who came couldn't sing all that well. He gave the boy one final look before going back to his book. But instead of reading, he just sat there listening to the song. It was quite good, and he hadn't heard of it before. *Did he write this song himself?*
"I am taking care of it The Groovy Blue The kitten who devours junk food High in calories"
Wufei continued sharpening his katana, giving no indication that he was listening at all. Yet, he was, in fact he could barely concentrate on his katana because his attention was on the boy standing up on the stage singing. His hand slipped, and he muttered a curse as he looked at his cut thumb. Grabbing a napkin off the table, he wrapped it around his thumb and stopped sharpening his already sharp katana to listen to the boy.
"I want to wake up as if someone had provoked me in my sleep I want to escape from those that I cannot see"
Heero tried to block out the boy's voice, yet it was hard. Growling softly, he closed his laptop and looked up at the boy. Bright blue eyes met his own Prussian ones, and he just sat there, hypnotized by the bright orbs. As the boy looked away, Heero shook his head and opened his laptop once again. The boy wasn't important at all. In fact, Heero could care less whether the boy joined the band or not.
"Just a little more and you'll get hurt The shortest distance is enough Just a little more and I will die I only want the slightest hint of a kiss"
Rei smiled as she watched Mina sing. She turned to look at the guys and noticed that they were watching her also. So far, so good. Mina needed her help, and she knew it. Sighing, she shook her head. If Mina did get into the band, then she'd need even more help at keeping her disguise a secret. Rei had the feeling that she would be hanging around Mina a lot more then before, and she'd probably also be around the band Paranoid Euphoria. Glancing at the Chinese boy, her smile grew. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all.
"Just a little more and you will get hurt Love is wonderful when it grazes by Just a little more and I will burn out Living in a fleeting night"
Makoto jumped up and down with excitement. She was just feet away from the hottest band ever, and if Mina did get into the band, then that means that she'd be hanging out with them! Or, she'd be hanging out with Mina who'd be hanging out with them. She had made Mina promise her to introduce her to a certain boy named Trowa Barton. Looking away from Mina, she glanced at Trowa and instantly hearts appeared in her eyes. *Ohh! I hope Mina gets in!*
"Just a little more and you'll get hurt The shortest distance is enough Just a little more and I will die I only want the slightest hint of a kiss"
Mina looked at the five guys expectantly, wondering if she got in or not. *I better get in or else Mako and I will be kicking some bishi asses!* She grinned at this thought, not even aware of someone talking to her.
"Kyo?" Quatre asked a bit louder then before, hoping that the boy would hear him this time. It seemed that he was daydreaming or something of the sort. The boy looked as if he snapped out of his thoughts, and turned to look at Quatre. "Ah, thank you for auditioning." He paused and glanced at the others before continuing, but this time with a smile on his face. "Welcome to the band Paranoid Euphoria."
Screams were heard off stage before a tall brunet girl rushed on and grabbed the boy in a tight bear hug. A raven hair girl seemed to appear at her side, also hugging the small boy. "I knew you'd get in M-Kyo! I knew it!" The brunet exclaimed as she hugged the boy in what looked like a painful hug.
"Congrats Kyo!" The raven haired girl smiled at the boy who was grinning as if he had stolen a cookie from the cookie jar and hadn't got caught.
"Dude! Check out those babes!" Duo, who was leaning across Trowa again, nudged Quatre's side with his elbow.
"Is that all you think about Maxwell? Weak onnas?" Wufei looked away from the girls and glared at him. Unfortunately, the words "weak onnas" had caught the attention of the two girls on stage with the boy.
"Who you calling weak, shonen?" The raven haired girl glared at him, fire dancing in her eyes.
"Yeah! I bet I could kick your sorry ass any day!" The brunet exclaimed, taking a step forward as if to fight right there, right now.
"Heh...no need to get upset Rei, Mako." Mina tugged on their sleeves, and the brunet scowled while the raven hair girl just ignored her. "Rei." Mina pinched Rei's arm, causing Rei to turn and glare at her. Before Rei could say anything, a woman with blonde hair walked on stage and looked at the three strangers.
"Who are they?" She asked as she turned to face Quatre, not caring at all that the three of them were only a few feet away.
"Excuse me! My name is Rei Hino." Rei said, her hands itching to strangle the blonde.
"Makoto Kino." Makoto crossed her arms over her chest and looked the blonde up and down.
"Kyo Aino!" Mina said as she jumped up and down to see the blonde over Makoto's shoulder. The blonde looked at Mina and smiled.
"Kyo is the new band member." Duo said as he stood up and stretched.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Relena pushed past Rei and Makoto, a smile on her face as she looked at Mina. "My name is Relena Peacecraft." She held out her hand to Mina, as if expecting her to kiss it. Mina just looked at the hand for a moment, before shaking it. Relena was a bit shocked by this, but quickly covered it up. She took Mina by the arm and led her away from the others. "I would like to talk to you more, privately. Tonight, my friends and I are going to my favorite club, Dreamweaver. Why don't you stop by there tonight, around eight? You can bring your friends if you wish." She smiled at Mina a bit too friendly, and Mina just nodded. "Good, I'll see you then."
It took all of Mina's self control not to run back to where Rei and Makoto were. She said a quick good bye to the boys before grabbing her two friends by the arm and pulling them off stage. As they got outside, they walked down the street in silence for a bit before Mina decided to say something. "I don't like Relena." She shuddered at remembering the look the blonde had on her face.
"Yeah, she seems like a bitch." Makoto said as they stood at the bus stop.
"She seems too high on herself." Rei growled, causing and old woman to move away from her.
"She invited us to a club tonight, so do you two wanna go? We can invite Serena and Ami." Mina smiled happily as the other two nodded, accepting her invitation. "Great! Let's go shopping!" Mina jabbed her fist into the air, ignoring the groans of her two friends.
