Disclaimer: I do not own Gravitation, which is disappointing, 'cause if I did, I would be able to pick Yuki's brain for writing tips.

SIDE NOTE: I have a couple things to say...one, WOW. I did NOT expect to get SO many reviews! Have you guys seen how many I have???? I HAVE 34 REVIEWS!!!! And have you ever seen how many I get for the first chapter of all my other stories???? I get, like, 6!!!!!!!! ((deep breath)) I'm calmed. Now, some people told me that Shuichi has never referred to Yuki as 'Yuki-kun'...um...yeah, I forgot about that, but it's just too darn cute not to have him say it, ya know? Well, read on!!!

"I'm heeee-eeeerrre!" Heads turned at the sound of an unfamiliarly perky voice. Yes, they were used to hearing perkiness in the morning...but not from Eiri Yuki.

"Yuki...?" Hiroshi asked uncertainly.

"Are you feeling alright?" Tohma asked.

"Oh, Tohma-kun, I didn't know you were gonna be here!!" Yuki chirped. Tohma became a little lost in the moment while everyone else gave Yuki weird looks.

"Hey, where's Shuichi?" asked Hiro, looking around the room. "Didn't you come to drop him off or something like that?"

"No, Shuu-kun has a novel to finish," Yuki replied brightly. "I'll be taking his place today!!" No one spoke for a very long time. Yuki just stood there with a scarily happy look on his face.

"What do you mean, 'taking his place'?" Sakano asked, a hint of dread in his voice. "When's Shuichi gonna be back?"

"Hmm...well, let's see...I believe two weeks from now." This was followed by an even scarier smile.

A bullet flew past the creepy happy face of Eiri Yuki and into the wall behind him. "Hello in there! I don't hear music!" The gun-happy American manager of Bad Luck barged in with a smoking handgun. "Hey, Yuki, what're you doing here? And...why do you look so...happy?"

"He's taking Shuichi's place for two weeks!" Sakano shouted in a panic. "TWO WEEKS!! Can he even sing?! What if this gets out and the sales drop?! WHAT IF BAD LUCK BECOMES A HAS-BEEN?!"

"What?!" K fired a shot into the air and in an instant was holding the gun to Yuki's forehead. "Alright, you've got to the count of five to tell me what you've done with our lead singer, and when I get to five mister novelist, I'll pull the trigger!! Tell me now!! Where is he?! Where?! Where?! WHERE?!"

"Calm down, K-san," Tohma spoke up, finally having regained his wits. "I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation to all of this. Eiri-san, please tell us calmly—and normally—why are you taking Shuichi Shindou's place?"

Yuki blinked once and went out of Shuichi character for just a moment. "It's kind of a personal issue, Tohma...let's just say Shuichi and I are switching places for a while, and I'd rather the reason why be left between Shuichi and myself."

In spite of Yuki's serious tone, Tohma smiled. "Perfectly understandable. I will warn you however, Eiri-san, that Bad Luck has a competing performance against Nittle Grasper in five days."

"What?! You didn't tell us that!" K protested. Tohma smiled a little more.

"Yes, but I came here to tell you today...and I daresay this should be very interesting." And with that he turned and exited the studio, leaving everyone in shock. Except for Yuki. He went right back into character.

"Well, then," he began. "We'd better get started working if we want to be really good at the performance, won't we?" He picked up a mic. "Let's get to work!!"

We're screwed... thought K. "Excuse me...I need to go get some earplugs. I'll be right back." He turned and walked out.

Hiroshi tuned up his guitar. "Yo, Yuki, are you familiar with any of our songs?"

Yuki sat on a speaker and thought about this. "Um...nope."

Suguru put his keyboard on a stand. "This is ridiculous. We might as well give up."

"Our ratings are going to plummet!" Sakano cried despairingly. "We're doomed! I'm so sorry president!!"

"Give me a break," Yuki said darkly, cutting off his character. "I may not be tone-deaf like the rest of you, but I'm not too bad at spewing false romance crap. So let's just get to work." He popped back into character, and the band reluctantly started playing. Yuki smirked inwardly the whole time, thinking to himself, I knew this wouldn't be too hard. I'll show that little brat.

SIDE NOTE: That was a bit short, but fun to write nonetheless. Next chappie will show Shuichi's first day as Yuki. Should be fun. Well, plz review!
