Authors Notes:
Okay guys. Thanks so much for all the reviews. I'm sorry I took so long writing this
but I just could not get the motivation to actually write this thing…and then when I did I kept
changing this. Also, this chapter was going to be longer but I wanted to get it up
sooner so it's shorter than what it was going to be. However Chapter 4 is going to
be much longer. I've actually already started working on it. Oh yeah….there is very
little angst in this chapter…it's actually happy!! ^_^;; Don't worry the angst will
be back next chapter.

Chapter 3
180
Shuichi skipped into the NG studio with as much energy as he had before Yuki died.
He was humming a very happy melody, which he kept changing here and there to make
it sound even happier. Shuichi seemed to b glowing so much by the time he entered
the studio Bad Luck was rehearsing in, that everyone there had to pinch themselves
to make sure they weren't dreaming.
"Morning everyone!" Shuichi chirped as he jumped up and flung himself into one of
the big comfy chairs. Shuichi started rummaging around in his bag, looking for the
lyrics he had wrote that morning. The lyrics that went to the tune he was humming
just a few minutes before.
"Morning Shuichi," Fujisaki said, still a bit dazed by the fact Shuichi was so happy.
"You seem much happier than you have been lately."
"Un! For some reason I didn't have any nightmares last night. I only had really good
dreams," Shuichi said with a cheery smile as he handed sheets of paper to both Hiro
and Fujisaki. "Then, this morning I woke up feeling so rested and happy, that I just
wanted to write something, and this song came out of my head so fast that it was hard
to write down before I lost it completely."
Hiro looked over at Shuichi, his best friend. He knew that Shuichi wasn't telling the
whole truth. Other things had happened last night and it seemed to have something to
do with his dream. But this wasn't the time to be asking him about that. So Hiro
merely said, "Wow Shuichi, it's like you've taken a complete 180 in your attitude."
"Yeah. After leaving Yuki's apartment and knowing I'll never be able to go back
makes me feel that it's more final than before. And when I went over to Sakuma-san's
apartment he just made me feel so much better inside. Almost like he was wrapping a
blanket around the inside of me and making me feel warmer. So anyway, do you guys
want to try out this new song?" Shuichi asked. After his long semi-confession, he
felt even lighter than before, though there was something still hanging there.
But he didn't want to think about that right then. Shuichi then leaped out of the
chair and went over to the microphone and pumped his fit into the air. "Okay you
two, ready to play?"
Hiro nodded his head in thought. He had been kind of nervous yesterday when he
let Ryuichi go pick up Shuichi. But it looked like it was the right move after all.
There was still more, but he could ask later.
Hiro looked up and smiled, then looked over at both Shuichi and Fujisaki, perhaps
after months of sadness and struggling, Shuichi's 180 mood change would finally get
them back to real life.
"Okay Shuichi, lets play."

TBC (very soon.)
