" Crank up the guittarr!! coz I want to be where yyoou
arrreee! I like to spit on........."
Kasumi turned around slowly. Almost dropping her
custom designed electric guitar.

" hi....Kasumi...what the heck are u doing? "

" h..h hi? What the heck u doing here??" Kasumi
said whilst her cheeks started going flaming red.

" What was the 'spit' about? Is that like a new song
that ur planning on? Jeez, this is a whole new side to
you Kasumi, I think ur letting ur hair down for once.
I am proud of you cousin!"

" Ah shaddup Sora!"

The two looked at each other and then grinned.
Kasumi put down her guitar and embraced her cousin warmly.

" I missed you Kasumi " Sora whispered.

" I missed you too Sora "

They were quiet for awhile and then Sora decided to make
conversation.

"It's like I hardly see u! With the digi-world and Matt.
And with u and the band and...Taiiiii" Sora teased.

Kasumi blushed.

" We're ...we're just...good "

" Friends? yeh I know where THAT's gonna LEAD!!"

Kasumi gave Sora a slight push and protested that she
only thought of Tai as a 'good friend'.

" Ok, girl, but don't say I didn't warn you!"

They both giggled and talked about things that were
happening in their lives when

BANG!
The door burst open.
Kasumi and Sora almost jumped at the sound.

" Yo Yo yo Kasumi...WE have come to..."

Satomi and Mai stopped short.

" Oh....Sora....sorry..." Mai blushed.

Sora burst out laughing.

" No no, it's okay. Are you all gonna re-hearse?"

They all nodded dumbly.

" We were going to practise Kasumi's new song."

" Ok, well I had to leave soon anyways. Um Kasumi,
call me okay?"

" Ok, cya Sora! " Kasumi smiled.

Sora left the apartment smiling and left the
three friends to start their daily re-hearsal.

" I know this sounds so sappy...but I really
thought, he'd make me happy!"

" That sounded good! K girls I guess that was
a wrap!"

The three friends gave each other high fives
and then out of nowhere a person burst through
the door.
Mai screamed.

A grin emerged from the dripping wet stranger...

It was........................................

" BOB!!"
Mai ran towards him and jumped on to his back.

Bob laughed and moved her into his arms and
hugged her close.

" Guess what?" he asked them grinning from ear to ear.

" What? " they all chorused, pretending not to be
interested.

" You know when I said that I'd make you famous?"

"yessss" Satomi said, her eyebrows rising.

" Well my father's friend has a client that HAPPENS
to be a record manager and so I HAPPENED to talk to
him about the Naobs and..."

"YOUR KIDDING!" Satomi almost screamed.

Bob grinned even more (if that's possible) and continued.

" Nope, I'm not. Anyway, He wants to see you play!"

" You're kidding Bob! You are soo lying!"

" Nope, I'm not. He wants to hear you play! HE's
really interested in your songs and you!"

" OH BOB I LOVE YOU!!" Mai exclaimed and embraced
her boyfriend.

" You can repay me later" he grinned at his escastic
girlfriend.

After all the screamings of " I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!"
and all the huggings and jumping had diminished, the
band and Bob went out to treat themselves to some
Chinese food.

" So you three make the NAOBs? " the manager of
'Interscope records' asked.
The three nodded shyly.
"Great! Now, I'd like you three to get to those instruments
over there and play a song ok? "
Kasumi,Mai and Satomi looked at eachother and Kasumi
mouthed the words "Wrong impression" so that they would
know which song to sing.
"Uh, we're singing a song we made called, wrong impression"
Mr.Hizuki ( Interscope record dealer) smiled and leaned
back on his chair looking expectantly at them.
Kasumi gulped, she felt like she was going to be sick.
She looked at Mai and Satomi who looked like they felt
the same. She nodded to Mai and Mai yelled out
" A one,two,three four!"
And then started the beat of the opening.
Kasumi's fingers shook as she played but somehow managed to
sing.
"God please help me remove this pain,
That's been driving me insane.
I hate it when I see him
And I ache from limb to limb.."
They sang the song perfectly and Mr.Hizuki smiled.
" That's great girls. I guess Bob was right, how would
the NAOBs like to be part of Interscope records?"
The three friends screamed and ran over to hug Mr.Hizuki.

" It's very lucky I found you three, I needed a new band
that would fill in a role in the states. However, I am
asking something big of you, I am asking for the NAOBs to
move to America. We will provide accomodation and food
and clothes since you'll be sponsored but, the question is
will you be prepared to leave your family and friends?"

This dawned on Kasumi. She'd leave the digi-gang. Her
father,...Tai.
" Leave to america? " Kasumi choked.
" I am asking to much aren't I? Well, if it's a bonus,
I would like Bob to come with you, he seems to manage
you quite well."
" Bob a manager?" Mai burst out and then laughed.
That meant that both Mai and Satomi were in for the idea.
On one hand Kasumi's dreams of the NAOBs finally being big
would happen but at the same time she didn't want to leave
Odaiba. Tai and her were finally getting somewhere. She
knew that they were waiting for her decision. She was the
lead vocalist, the main songwriter. Kasumi looked around
helplessly. She needed to choose now. All four of them
looked at her expectantly.
Kasumi suddenly remembered that Tai didn't feel THAT
particualar way for her anyway, and it wasn't necersarily
goodbye forever. Yes it was. If she said yes, life would
change, if she said no she'd miss a chance of a lifetime
for a guy she didn't even know liked her back.
It would be selfish of her to kill the dreams of both her
and her friends.
"Yes, as long as it's ok with my, my dad." she said at
last, mumbling, she decided was something she should
really get rid of.

" America? You're going to AMERICA? But,but....who will
I talk to Kasumi? Can't I come too? Oh, man! I'm gonna miss
you!"
There was a silence when Tai quietly asked when she was leaving.
" This week-end " she choked, tears welling in her eyes.
" Oh. How about school? How about your dad? How about...me?"
he sighed.
" Tai, for once in my life I'm getting something I've always
wanted and instead of being second best, I'm finally getting
something. Can't you atleast be happy for me? "
"I'm sorry Kasumi. I am happy for you but at the same time I
dont want to lose you. "
" I know.But I won't leave your heart...I mean your mind.
We can still e-mail and write and phone. It's not like
I'm leaving you for ever"
They both sighed. Kasumi had been right. Things would never
be the same again.
" This feels so surreal. I've always wanted this to happen,
now it has I dont know if I want it. Tai, please be there
when I leave on Saturday. Please, I'll need for you to be
there. I..I want you...to be happy for me. Ok? "
" I'll be there, don't worry. I promise.6pm right? "
" Right. You sure you're coming? You're not gonna miss it?
" Why would I miss saying goodbye to you? You're one of my best
friends. I promise I'll be there. I have to go, I'll cya then"
" Sure"
Kasumi hung up the phone and sighed.
Slowly a smile crept up her face, she was a little excited about
it all. Maybe things were going to turn out ok after all.

Ok, see what happens next when they finally leave for a new life!

' Everyone began hugging each other again. It was getting
closer and closer to 6 o'clock. Kasumi anxiously checked
her watch for the third time.'

Cya then my loves!
