So here is chapter three. I really hope people are enjoying this but I am not getting reviews so I am not sure if I will continue with this or not. But any who on with the story. I also realized I never used Cody's Japanese name in the last chapter but I did go back and fix it.

Also thank you Donna365 for favoriting this story.

I do not own Digimon.

Chapter 3: Surprises

Miyako didn't realize that two days would go by as fast as they did. She was walking to school with Takeru since they still lived in the same building together. While they walked in silence she thought about how she missed walking with Iori. She was thinking about her conversation with him from last night. Not that it helped much.

"Have you made a decision Miyako?"

"No Iori I haven't. I don't know what I am going to do."

"But you need to decide by tomorrow."

"Yeah I know thanks for reminding me."

"I know this is a lot for you to think about but I think you should do it."

"Why?"

"Because you are always doing either homework or working on computers. I know you like to sing Miyako and I think this is your chance to do something else you like to do."

"Yeah I like to sing Iori but not in front of hundreds of people."

"I know it is a freaky feeling but you will have Hikari with you right?"

"Yeah she will be there."

"Well that will help. And Ken's brother."

"Let's not talk about him okay."

"But Hikari told me that he likes you."

"I think everyone knows he does."

"Anyways I need to get going. I promised Grandpa I would help him at the Dojo. But think about what I said."

"I will Iori."

Miyako had thought about it but it didn't really help. Maybe she could talk to Takeru about it. "Takeru?"

"What's up Miyako?"

"What do you think I should do?"

"Do about what?"

"The play."

"Oh yeah I forgot about that. Well I think you should do what you want to do."

"You sound like Ken."

"Well he is pretty smart."

"Yeah I know he is."

"And you are too Miyako. If he isn't in first place in marks you are. But this decision you make should be the one that will make you happy."

Miyako and Takeru didn't realize they had gotten to the school until Himeko yelled for Takeru. He waved to her as she walked over to the both of them. Miyako watched as she gave him a kiss on the cheek and gave her a smile and a hello. Miyako returned the smile to the young girl. Takeru then turned back to Miyako.

"Just remember to do what makes you happy Miyako. If doing the play will then go for it. If it doesn't then don't do it."

"Still haven't decided Miyako?"

"No I haven't Himeko."

"Well Takeru is right but I think you should do it."

"Really?"

"Yeah well I am working backstage with props and well I heard another girl trying out for the part and she was horrible but if you don't do it she will be the only one who seems to know the part."

Miyako didn't know what to say. She knew Himeko was trying to help but telling her that no one else seemed to measure up to herself made it seem harder to say no if she wanted too. Miyako almost hated the girl for saying that. Though she could never really hate the young girl. It was then she heard the first bell and knew that she only had a few more hours to decide.

Unfortunately the day seemed to go on really quickly for Miyako and it didn't help that Ken was almost ignoring her. He seemed to be dodging her every second. The only time they talked was in class and that was because they had too. She didn't know what she did wrong but she would find out after school. Even if she had to corner him.

When the final class got out Miyako went looking for Ken but she couldn't find him. She was about to head to the field to see if he and Daisuke were practicing soccer but someone yelling her name stopped her. She turned to see who was calling her.

"Osamu. I thought rehearsals started today?"

"They do but the director was looking for you. He needs your decision."

"Oh right. Yeah I guess I better head to the auditorium."

They both walked in silence. Every once in a while she would feel Osamu trying to take her hand but she would move it so he couldn't reach it. She would either brush a strand of hair behind her ear or pretend to have an itch she had to scratch. Luckily they didn't have to walk long. They entered the auditorium and Miyako was then almost knocked over.

"Hello to you too Hikari."

"So are you going to do it?"

"Hikari..."

"Please Miyako? I would love to do this with you."

"I..."

"Ah there you are Miyako. So have you made your decision?"

"Yes I have. I love that you really want me for this part and...," Miyako looked into Hikari's brown eyes and she wished she didn't. She had decided not to do it but looking at her pleading eyes how could she now. "I would love to be Christine."

Hikari hugged her again and the director was thanking her for taking the part. Miyako walked on the stage with Hikari. The director had told them that they would start from "Hannibal" where they would meet the new owners and the vicomte. That made Miyako nervous. She didn't know who was going to play Raoul.

Hikari and Miyako and a couple other girls were off stage waiting to be called in for their parts. The chorus that was picked started to sing along with the girl playing Carlotta. Miyako knew the girl. She had a couple of classes with her. She was a nice girl and always talked to her in classes. Everything came to a stand still when she didn't hit a note right.

"Akiko you need to go a little higher. Carlotta is a soprano so you need to be one. Now again."

Miyako was happy when the girl got it right the second time around. Finally it came to the part where they would meet the new mangers and see who the new Vicomte would be.

"This way, gentlemen, this way. Rehearsals, as you see, are under way for a new production of Chalumeau's "Hannibal"."

"Monsieur Lefèvre, I am rehersing."

"Monsieur Reyer, Madame Giry. I know there have been rumors of my immediate retirement. I can tell you now that they are all true." Akiko playing Carlotta turned to her counterpart.

"Ah-ha!"

"And I would like to introduce you to the gentlemen who now own the Opéra Populaire, Monsieur Richard Firmin and Monsieur Gilles André." Everyone clapped. Akiko then stepped forward. "Gentlemen, Signora Carlotta Giudicelli, our leading soprano for five seasons now."

"Brava, Brava."

"Ahem."

"And Signor Ubaldo Piangi."

The boy stepping forward who plays Firmin. "And we would like to introduce our new Patrone. The Vicomte de Chagny."

The director then pointed at Miyako but she was glued at the spot. When then Vicomte was introduced Ken had walked out. She was shaken out of her stupor when Hikari lightly tapped her. She then remembered her line.

"It's Raoul. Before my father died, at the house by the sea. I guess you can say we were childhood sweethearts. He called me Little Lotte."

"Christine he's so handsome."

Ken then saw the director turn to him. "My parents and I are honored to support all the arts. Especially the world renowned Opéra Populaire. It is an honor to meet you all. I believe I am keeping you from your rehersal. I will be here this evening to share in your great triumph. My apologize Signor."

"Thank you Monsieur de Vicomte."

Ken then walked off stage right by Miyako and Hikari. "He wouldn't recognize me."

"Christine he just didn't see you."

"CUT! Great job everyone. Miyako you were a little late with your line but you recovered quickly. Ken great job. You hit your lines one hundred percent. Tomorrow we will pick up here where Carlotta will walk away from rehearsals and Christine will take over her place."

Everyone started to walk off the stage grabbing their belongings. Hikari said she would wait for her outside. Miyako nodded to the girl and then turned to Ken who was still standing on the stage not moving. Miyako walked over to him.

"Is this why you were ignoring me today?"

"Yeah, sorry about that. I knew if I talked to you I would blow the surprise."

"Why?"

"Because I had a feeling you would be taking the part. I knew Hikari would pull out the pleading brown eyes. And I figured it would help if you had two people here to help you."

"You are too sweet to me."

"I would do anything to help you Miyako."

There is chapter 3. I hope you all liked this chapter. Sorry for the delay in updating. The holidays definitely got to me. Missing my mother since this was the first year without her. But I got it done finally and hopefully it won't take so long to update again.
