Hello welcome back, the story is I guess almost halfway there, so yay, now the story is gonna go a bit off track from the anime but still following it, you'll see anyway let's begin.
Starts playing: Super drive
Chapter 8: Inner sound
The door opened to the room, the bed room was just like the one in the old house.
She smiled as she saw her love laying in bed.
"Well i'm off to school Mandy." Goes Clover.
"Yeah, yeah..." Waved Mandy as she stayed in the heart shaped bed.
She then snaps her eyes wide open.
"Hey hey, how long do you think your gonna be staying here?" Mandy goes. "I don't remember allowing you to live here."
"Aw come on Mandy after all we are lovers so it's okay." Goes Clover.
She then nibbles on Mandy's right ear.
"GAH!"
"See ya later."
Clover runs out the place.
Mandy sighs as she sits up.
"Damn brat." She goes.
"Ah I remember when you were like that." Goes a voice.
"What, GAH!" Mandy jumps to standing on her bed.
She looks at a somewhat older and similar version of herself standing.
The woman smirks.
"It smells a bit like sex in here."
"... What do you want Mother." Mandy says.
"Oh come on can't I see my daughter for a change?"
Mandy gives a dull expression.
"I'm not falling for it."
Phoebe sighed.
"Well guess being kind is out of the question..."
"Mother." Mandy said sounding serious.
Phoebe paused.
"We have a lot to discuss, Amanda." Phoebe said.
At bev high.
"So we got that interview later today." Goes Alex.
"We're really going places." Sam says.
Clover has a smile as the 3 walk through the school.
But then.
"Hey clover." Goes a voice.
The 3 girls hear Clover's name and turns to see a rather fit light skin gentleman with a jersey on, representing the Beverly hills high foot ball team. He had on black jeans his hair was yellow and medium length, with blue eyes.
Clover looked the other way.
"What is it Matthew?" She goes.
"Hey I know you guys have your group thing but hear me out for a second." He goes.
She sighs.
"What is it."
"Um.. well I was hoping this weekend that you would go on a date, with me?" He goes.
She turns with a humph.
"What, did you really think coming to me after you went with Mandy wouldn't concern me?"
"What?"
"I know what you're playing at, the answer is no."
"Really..."
She nods.
"Oh come on, if it's cause of Mandy, so what, it's like you care about her way more than just some rivals or whatever." He goes.
Clover eyes widen.
"No means no Matthew."
Clover walks away.
He snaps his fingers, that wasn't suppose to happen.
Mandy has a spocky in her mouth while her Mother drinks tea.
"You've taken care of your self Mandy."
"Of course I have."
"Hmm, you may be on your own, but you still got school young lady."
Mandy stares straight ahead.
Her mother takes a breath.
"Do you love her?"
Mandy goes wide eyed.
Plays: Shuichi and Yuki's theme
"What?!" She goes.
"That girl of that band, Clover I believe, they're with N.G. I saw you 2 kiss when we were at our home."
"You mean your home."
"Mandy."
Mandy sighs.
"Can you go now mother?"
"Oh come on, can't we just talk."
Mandy crosses her arms.
"We were... till you mentioned her."
Phoebe sighs.
"Amanda, when we did what we did we wanted to make sure you never felt hurt again, that guy proved that what we needed to do was the best course of action."
"But you did it without asking me, but why am I not surprised that when it failed you would come here to rope me into another."
Phoebe stands from the couch. She looks at the balcony of the place, walks near the glass and looks towards the clouds.
"That's not why i'm here."
"What?" Mandy goes.
Her mother turns to face her.
"I'm here, because of that girl."
"Hmph, I knew it, you're just another homophobe."
"So you love her?"
Mandy looks the other way.
"Amanda."
"What do you expect me to say?"
"...Either yes or no.."
Mandy leans against the couch.
"...I do.."
"What.."
"I love Clover... it's funny, I tried to be cold to her, insult her, deny her and so much, but she just won't stop... but... I can't... let her in... because... I don't want someone special ever again... that pain I can't bear..."
Phoebe place a hand on Mandy's cheek.
"But you already have Amanda..."
"You don't get it... I feel... she is different... but i'm afraid... to have a special person again..."
"Amanda.."
"She's everything someone could hope for, she has her issues but she's still amazing.."
Phoebe smiles.
"But I want to marry her on my own terms."
Her mother blinks.
"How did?"
"It's not that hard to guess."
Phoebe sighs.
"Amanda... I see... but I know one thing... this... Marina Johnson... will pay for what she has done... no one hurts my family and gets away with it, Me and Tohma will see to that."
Song ends
At the studio.
"You girls ready?" Goes Mr. Sakano.
They stand and nod.
Clover then blinks at a thought.
"Actually girls, i'm gonna have to pass, I wanted to get home early for Mandy.."
"Are you sure." Goes Mr.K as he places a gun at her head.
"On second thought."
As the group were walking to the car, Mr. K and Jerry were chatting behind them.
"So Mr. K I assume, you know what your doing?" Jerry says.
"Hmm, what do you mean, i'm helping you managing your favorite spies, of course and from the looks of things quite well."
'Yes... but this... thing about Clover and Mandy... I want you to remember this..."
The 2 stop walking and face one another.
"I've watched these girls for years since they became agents, they're basically like daughters to me, not only that they are still in highschool, so this isn't just like Mr. Shindou and the rest of bad luck, remember that Mr. K."
Mr. K blinks and nods.
Jerry smiles.
"Oh, by the way how's getting them on music shock working out?" Jerry asks.
"It's going well, but a little extra push may help."
"Ah, well I see what I can do, we best get to the car."
As the group left the building beat drive were sitting at a table.
"This.. is bullshit!" Goes Marina.
"Calm down Marina, you're taking this way to far." Goes Melina.
"Screw that, that Ewing made a fool of me, and her lover too."
"But you're getting too caught up in this, just let it go please?" Goes Eva.
"No, I won't!"
.
"So your debut single is coming along nicely and you're working on a few new songs as well?" Goes the interviewer.
The 3 girls nod.
"Hey you can't go in there." Goes a group.
A girl breaks on through anyway.
"Hey, dang brat!" Goes Mr. K.
"What is she doing here?" Goes Mr. Sakano.
The spiezz blink as Eva rests her hands on the table.
"You, Clover Ewing, we need to talk alone, NOW!"
.
She has her back pinned against the wall.
"You bitch, thought you could make fun of me?!" Goes Marina.
Mandy stares.
"I'll make you and that bitch Clover pay, i'll expose you for what you are."
"Then go ahead."
"What."
Marina sees her eyes, those eyes.
"Ah, those eyes again... those eyes aren't the eyes of a writer at all, it's like... you've killed people..."
"So what if I did?"
Marina eyes widen as she steps back from Mandy.
"So what if I killed people?"
"Then... i'll expose it to the media, it will be the end of Amanda Walters."
"YOU BITCH!"
Bam! Clover breaks through the wall and smashes a hard right into Marina's face.
Mandy blinks as Clover begins to shake Marina up and down while gripping her top.
"You dirty bitch, you dare try to hurt my Mandy."
"Oh god damn it you moron, I just moved in and your already wrecking the place.' Mandy says.
Clover looks at her.
"What, I was scared that something bad was gonna happen and that's what your gonna tell me."
"Well you did put a big hole in my wall, there's a thing call a door."
Marina shakes the cobwebs out and glares.
"Grr, Amanda Walters, I don't know of your past, but I will find out what it Is and expose it for all to know, it will be the end of Amanda walters and Clover Ewing."
Clover starts chuckling.
"What's funny?" Marina goes.
"If that's the only way you have to beat me... then I pity you."
Marina widens her eyes.
She begins running through the alleyway.
"Damn that Clover, i'll make you and that ho pay." She says.
'You won't escape my wraith.'
She exits the alleyway and sees the street, then.
"Well, well, Ms, Johnson." Goes a voice.
Marina looks to her right and sees Tohma.
"Mr, Senguchi?"
Cars are going by.
"You've crossed the line."
Marina took a few steps back.
"You should have stopped at Ms, Ewing and left it at that, but your ignorance and ego blinded you."
"Uuuhh.."
"I remember a band who's lead singer took the same route, but such actions that you had committed... i'm afraid this is far worse, especially since you messed with Mandy."
He walked up to her.
"Wait... why do you care about Amanda Walters?"
"Hmm, because I care for Amanda, and so does Erie."
Marina's eyes widen.
"She means so much to him, and he does to me. If you mess with Mandy, you mess with Erie and if you mess with Erie, you mess with me, and not only that, you've upset... my in laws."
"What.."
"And now.."
A hand is placed on her shoulder from someone else. She turns to her right and sees an older like version of Mandy.
Her eyes widen as she is pushed into the street.
SSSSSKKKKKKRRRTT
Tohma looks over at Phoebe who just stares at a shaking Marina.
"This is where we part ways, good bye Ms. Johnson."
At the studio
Sam, Clover and Alex were sitting watching an interview of Tohma.
"President Senguchi, with the halt of the progress of Beat drive, what does that mean for N.G here in the U,S and the totally spiezz."
Tohma smirked.
"Today I do not talk to you as just the president of N.G. As you may know Nittle Grasper were reformed in Japan awhile ago, and Bad Luck have been making constant headlines."
The girls blink.
"With the stop of Beat drive, the spiezz will be the only ones here in the U.S supported by N.G with no competition in the label... therefore, we have decided, that the totally spiezz will be trying to reach the top in their home country against Bad Luck and eventually, Nittle Grasper."
"What?" Goes the reporters.
The girls were silent.
"In short the totally spiezz are now trying to top Bad Luck, and soon Nittle grasper will join the fray, this will be the greatest challenge for the totally spiezz as they 'defend the homefront, hence for the spiezz, this is an invasion, a test to their ability as group, course they have the home field advantage but the U,S love both Nittle grasper and Bad Luck, this will be exciting."
The spies couldn't believe what they're hearing.
"A battle of the best in N.G?!" Goes Sam.
Clover just stares.
"An invasion?" Alex says.
"A battle of the homefront?" Alex and Sam goes.
They look at Clover.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, BAD LUCK AND NITTLE GRASPER HERE IN AMERICA I'M GONNA MEET SHUUICHI'S IDOL, OH MY GOD!" She goes.
"Well someone's cheery." Goes a voice.
The girls looked and saw both Mr. K and Jerry.
"Anyway we got exciting news for you girls, we've just got you an appearance on Music shock." Jerry said.
"Music shock?" They went.
"Yep."
"The show that gives a half hour to one special guest?" Goes Clover.
"Yep, yep."
"YES, THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!" Goes Clover.
"Well what a surprise." Goes a voice.
The 5 look and see 2 people, one with long brownish hair in a jacket, and another with short wave like hair in a suit.
"Hiroshi Nakano, Suguru Fujisaki..." Goes Sam.
"Well if it isn't the totally spiezz, great to see you 3 again." Goes Hiro.
"Indeed, nice to see you again cousin Alex." Goes Fujisaki.
Alex just rubs her head.
"Anyway we heard you guys were gonna be on Music Shock, well so are bad luck." Hiro says.
They all blink.
"Wait a second, we just came from the director's office, we're suppose to be the only... wait... Tohma did something didn't he Fujisaki?" Goes Mr. K.
"Well i'm not sure, but we are gonna appear, and so is Nittle grasper." Fujisaki said.
"Nittle Grasper?!" Goes Clover.
"Did someone call our name?" Goes a voice.
They all look at the 2 new arrivals.
A girl and a guy.
"No...way... Noriko Ukai, and ... Ryuuichi Sakuma..." Goes Clover.
Noriko noticed the 2 members of Bad Luck.
"Oh it's you 2." Goes Noriko.
"Hey." They go.
She soon sees the spiezz.
"Oh, you 3 must be the totally spiezz." She says.
Sam and Alex nod.
Clover just stands shocked.
Ryuuichi blinks at Clover, it then clicks in his mind.
"Oh wait, you must be Shuichi's new friend." He says to Clover.
Clover is speechless. She just nods.
"I'm Ryuuichi Sakuma, nice to meet... ouch!"
Noriko pulls on his ear.
"We don't have time Ryuuichi, remember we gotta prepare for the show later."
"Ah Noriko, but I wanna get to know Shuichi's new friend."
"Later." Noriko pulls him onward.
"Well we better get going too, nice to meet you 3 properly." Hiroshi says.
The 3 nod.
Him and Fujisaki walk on.
At Mandy's.
She leans in the couch holding her head.
'Hey Mandy, Mandy... hahaha...'
"...No..."
'What else are we gonna do today Ms, Tyler?'
Mandy shakes her head harder.
The smile of a little girl kept filling her mind.
"GOD DAMN IT!" She goes.
It however soon changes.
'How dare you, look what you did to my outfit.'
Mandy's eyes go wide.
"NOT THAT COME ON!"
"Mandy." Goes Phoebe.
Mandy quickly tried to regain her composure as her mom poked her head from the kitchen.
"Are you... feeling well?"
"Yes, mother."
Her mother goes back in the kitchen.
'How much longer is she gonna be here?!'
.
The girls arrive to Music shock.
"I hope you girls know that this is a new ball game." Mr. K said.
"Relax Mr. K we got this." Goes Clover.
"I agree with Mr. K Clover, you guys gotta preform at your best if you guys how to stand along side Bad Luck, and nittle grasper as well." Mr. Sakano says.
"Not only that, you girls are the only American group the N.G Label are backing, and the 2 best bands of Japan are trying to take over, I suggest you girls give your all as of now." Jerry says.
The 3 girls blink, they're very serious.
"Hey Clover." Goes a voice.
She looks and sees Shuichi and Ryuuichi walk over to her.
"Hey Shuichi, and Ryuuichi." She says with a smile.
"Ryuuichi told me you 2 met already?" Shuichi goes.
"Yeah, earlier today actually."
"She's just like how you told me Shuichi."
Clover just rubbed the back of her head.
"Well good luck with your performance." They say.
Clover waves to them, then looks at the girls.
"Let's rock." She says.
Starts playing: Overdrive by (Hitomi Harada)
Clover: Yawai hada no shita koutetsu no chi ga nagareteru, Darenimo Shirarezu, nukumori o sagasu.
Sam, Alex: Overdrive
Clover: Guuzen ka, unmei ka docchi demoii, Anata ni mata furetai.
Clover, Sam, Alex: OVERDRIVE!
Nittle grasper and Bad luck watched with serious interest.
"They're really impressive." Goes Noriko.
"Indeed, Ms, Ewing is quite the interesting girl." Goes Tohma.
.
"Right we'll take a break thank you."
The girls sat in chairs next to each other.
"Well done Clover." Goes Mr. Sakano.
"That was some good singing huh?" Goes Clover.
"The best you've been." Sam says.
"Hey." Goes a voice.
Clover looks to her right and sees Shuichi and Ryuuichi. On their knees with a note pad.
"You were amazing. Can I have your autograph." They go.
Clover blinks.
Then Noriko and Hiroshi grabbed the 2 by their ears.
"Come on Shuichi we're next." Hiro goes.
"And you need to warm up." Goes Noriko.
"Ow come on don't pull." They go.
Sam and Alex look at one another.
They then see Clover with stars in her eyes.
"They asked me for my Autograph."
"Oh brother."
..
"And we're back, and now performing next is one of Japan's hit bands Bad Luck. It's been months since they last were in the U.S but now they're back with the song that started it all."
Shuichi waves at Clover. She smiles.
"Clover, take this serious." Goes Mr. K.
She blinks. She then sees Shuichi take a deep breath.
Starts playing: Rage beat by bad luck.
Shuichi: Obieta mezuki de , iradatsu omoi uwaki na kaze ni hakisutete
Clover had a smile on her face, she was hearing her idol live... but soon her smile began to fade.
Shuichi: Hibi-wareta rojou ni toketa shigunaru wa kizuato dake nokoshite-iku
Her eyes widen.
Shuichi: Madoronda noizu ga asu o keshi-saru mae ni
Shuichi: Yabou ni hibiku kutsuoto o oikakete
Clover placed her right hand over her mouth.
Shuichi: Doko ni mo tomaranai, Mitasanai emotion shikato kimete oikose yo
Shuichi: Furueteru shai na seikai no nuke-michi o neratte, Tadoritsuku basho e I want new world
Clover kept her mouth covered, for the whole song, she was trying to fight back tears.
'This is...' She thinks.
Once Bad luck finished, they all bowed and said thanks.
"Now up next is the great band themselves Nittle grasper."
Clover eyes widen, now from her idol, to her idol's idol.
A tear falls from her face.
.
Mandy sighed as she leaned against the couch, her low sound breathing the only noise around... yeah right.
"Mother." She says.
Her mother pokes her head from the kitchen.
"Can you please... GET OUT ALREADY!"
"Mandy..."
A knock was heard on the door.
Mandy gets up and walks to the door, she looks through the hole and then opens it.
"What is it brother?" She goes.
"You're gonna just straight say that, can't I just see my sister?" He goes.
She just stares.
'Can I come in?"
She sighs.
They're sitting on the couch.
"So... how's things?" He goes.
"Michael... what do you want?"
"Come on sis?"
She stares at him.
"Fine." He goes in defeat.
"It's mom and dad, they want me to inform you of getting another marriage arranged, this time with your permission."
Mandy blinks.
"Really?" She goes surprised.
He nods.
Mandy looks straight ahead.
"Bullshit."
"Mandy."
"I bet they already did it." She goes.
In the kitchen her mother sighs.
'No... we didn't.'
A knock was then heard on the door.
"Mandy, you home?" Goes a voice.
Mandy stood up, she ran to the door and opened it.
"Hey Mandy..." Goes Clover. She rests her head onto her shoulder.
"You look tired." Mandy goes. Clover looks to the couch and sees Michael.
"Hey Michael."
He waves.
"So, you've arrived." Goes a voice.
Mandy and Michael go wide eyed.
The bearer of the voice enters from the kitchen.
Clover blinks.
"You're the woman from that place..." Clover goes.
Phoebe nods.
"It's about time we formally meet Clover."
Clover blinks, she knows her name.
"I am Phoebe Walters, Mandy's mother."
WELL THAT WASN'T TOO BAD... IT WAS READ ABLE, ANYWAY THIS STORY MIGHT BE A BIT LONGER THAN I INTENTED IT TO BE, BUT REMEMBER ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END, LET'S HOPE IT DOESN'T END TOO SOON, but then again who said this was good... um i'll see you in the next chapter but until then, until then.
Starts playing: Glaring dream
