Yume tugged at her skirt, checking her appearance in the mirror in front of her with a smile. It was the grand opening of S4's Four Star Cafe, and she was one of the waitresses, or maids. Her uniform was a black and white maid costume with a thin pink bow at her collar, and she kept her usual pink bow in her hair. She twirled around, "How do I look?"

Koharu held her hands together, "Great!"

Yume grinned, checking her friend, who was in her own black uniform and light purple bow around her collar, "You do too! Let's do this, Koharu!"

Koharu nodded, "I am a little nervous about this, but I know I can do it with you!"

Yume smiled happily, "Let's go!"

As the two stepped out of the locker room and into the break area, they met up with the rest of their coworkers and all of S4.

"Thank you all for joining us at our grand opening," Hime greeted.

Tsubasa looked over the group of girls, "It will definitely be busy, so we will go over a few things with you all. First, you will address all customers as master or mistress, and prince and princess for children."

"Next," Yozora continued, "you are to take pictures with anyone who requests it."

Yuzu said, "Be kind to everyone!"

"And have fun. I hope you will enjoy this experience as much as we do," Hime ended.

"So now," Tsubasa went on, "we will open the doors and have a greeting session while sending in the customers."

"Mr. Yamaguchi is the host, so he will send the customers in," Yozora informed.

The girls nodded at each other.

"I think that's all we have to say," Hime said.

They nodded at her.

Hime grinned brightly at the girls in front of her, "Now, let's begin!"

"Yes ma'am!"

~0~

Yume rushed back to the kitchen with an order in her hand, a wide smile on her face. It was really busy at the cafe, as warned by S4, but she was having a blast! She spotted Koharu right at the kitchen window, dropping off an order as well. "Koharu! How's it going?"

Koharu turned to her and smiled, "It's a little embarrassing to me… but I think I can handle it."

Yume laughed, "It kinda is. But, did you see those other girls? They looked kinda grumpy in the break room, but they look so cute with the customers!"

Koharu smiled in agreement, "I did. I don't know their names, but I hope we get along…"

Suddenly, the chatter in the cafe got louder, and the two girls turned to see newcomers.

Yume stepped away, waving at Koharu, "I'll take this."

Koharu waved back and went back to serve another table.

Yume scanned the cafe as she went to the front, noticing that the attention was towards the door. In confusion, Yume turned to see Mr. Yamaguchi usher in a group of boys. She quickly approached them and bowed with a smile, "Welcome, masters! Please follow me!" She turned, leading them towards a booth to the side of the cafe with a nice view outside.

As she neared the table, there were suddenly a lot of people standing; one of the tables of customers were leaving and in her way. Yume maneuvered around them, calling excuse me many times, but then, she tripped up on her feet and stumbled into someone.

"I'm so sorry!" Yume yelped before looking at the person. When she did, she saw one of her coworkers, with pink tornado tails in a maid uniform with a blue bow at her collar.

She glared at Yume, then huffed, ignoring her and walking off.

Yume's jaw dropped, but she quickly recovered, turning to check if her current customers were still following, then finding the table.

She stood beside it, letting the boys sit down and then passed the menus to them. Yume smiled politely, "Here is the menu. My name is Yume and I'll serve you today. Let me know when you are ready."

"What do you suggest?" The boy with chocolate colored hair asked, reading the menu.

Yume scanned the boy, looking over his blue eyes and shaggy hair, "For you, I would suggest our banana caramel muffin."

At her words, he looked up at her skeptically, "What do you mean for me?"

Yume turned red in embarrassment and waved her hands in defense, "No! Um, well… ah…" She stopped stuttering when she was interrupted by laughter. She frowned, looking at the brown haired boy in confusion.

He pointed to her face with his eyes closed, "You look like a tomato!"

Yume felt her face heat up again and puffed her cheeks out with a frown, "Excuse me? That's not very nice!"

He just continued laughing at her.

"Subaru," one of the other boys sighed, "Calm down." The boy with light brown hair looked to Yume, "How did you come to that conclusion?

Subaru, she assumed, stopped laughing and glanced at the boy, "Come on, she probably read it in an interview."

Yume blinked in confusion, not understanding what interview, then shook her head, "No, I didn't mean it in a bad way… uh… my parents have a bakery and I can suggest certain items for people by observing them. I just thought that you would like bananas."

The four boys stared at her.

The glasses wearing boy hummed, "Interesting."

"Well then," Subaru, she assumed, closed the menu and handed it back to her, "why don't you choose something for all of us?"

Yume stuttered, "Are you sure? Do you want me to run it by you first?"

"Nah," he waved her off, "It's fine."

The other boy with light brown hair smiled, "I'm sure everything here is good."

"Surprise us," the last boy with blond hair grinned.

Yume smiled and nodded, "Okay. I'll be back soon with your orders." She quickly walked away, scribbling down three other orders which she thought would suit the strangers.

As she approached the back of the cafe and towards the kitchen area, she suddenly felt a shove to her back, causing her to stumble forward.

"Ah!" Yume yelped, but was able to save herself from falling. She turned around, to see one of her coworkers, a girl with long red orange hair that had two cat ears shaped at the top of her head wearing a maid costume with a yellow bow. "What-?"

"Switch with me!" She hissed, getting in Yume's face.

Yume backed up, "Switch what with you?"

"Don't act innocent! You know what!" She continued yelling.

"I really don't!" Yume defended again.

"What's going on?"

Both girls turned to see Tsubasa standing in front of them.

"Tsubasa!" The other girl gasped.

"Um…" Yume glanced at the other girl, who was tugging at her bangs nervously with her cheeks red. "Nothing, Tsubasa."

Tsubasa glanced between the two, then shook her head, "Don't start anything here."

"Yes ma'am." They quickly replied and Tsubasa walked off.

Yume turned to the girl, only to find her glaring at her.

"Stay out of my way," She hissed, then stomped away.

"But I don't-" Yume tried to say, but was ignored, "-know what I did to you…" She sighed and turned back to the kitchen.

"Yume…" Koharu called, seeing her.

Yume sighed, "Did you see that?"

Koharu nodded.

"I hope this doesn't cause drama," Yume sighed again.

"Don't worry, I'll be here with you," Koharu comforted.

Yume smiled softly, "Thanks, Koharu. You're the best."

Carrying the tray in her hands, Yume went back to the table with the boys. She smiled as they looked towards her. Carefully, she began placing the treats in front of them.

"A banana caramel muffin for you," She announced, putting the small plate in front of the brown haired boy. "A double chocolate choco nut surprise muffin for you," She said, putting it in front of the blond. "An almond and berry creme crepe for you," She placed it in front of the light brown haired boy. "And, a green tea cake roll for you." She placed it in front of the last boy.

The boys looked at their treats in surprise.

"Wow!" The blond grinned, "You got it so right!"

Yume smiled brightly.

The brown haired boy picked up a fork and scooped a piece of his muffin into his mouth. Swallowing it, he nodded, "It's good."

The others took the cue and began eating their own.

Yume smiled at their pleased expressions, but then caught sight of some other customers watching from the side of her eye. She frowned slightly, "Why do they keep looking over here?"

The brown haired boy looked up at her in surprise, "What did you say?"

Yume blinked at him, "I asked why everyone's looking at you guys…"

The boy blinked back at her, "Are you serious?"

"Um," Yume noticed the others looking at her too, "I am."

The boy made a strangled sound from the back of his throat.

The blond laughed awkwardly, "We're-"

"M4!"

Yume turned at the cheery voice, "Yuzu? Hime?"

Yuzu passed Yume and sat down right beside the green haired boy, who silently scooted inside the booth more to give her space.

Hime smiled and waved at Yume, then to the boys, "I'm happy that you all made it."

"Of course, we said we would," The brown haired boy responded.

"Wait," Yume cut off, "who are you guys?"

"Yume, don't you know?" Hime asked, "They're M4. The most popular boy band."

Yume turned to them again, and Yuzu pointed to each of them, naming them, "That's Subaru Yuki, Asahi Kasumi, Nozomu Igarashi, and Kanata Kira."

Subaru sighed and looked at Yume, "You seriously didn't know about us?"

Yume crossed her arms, "I couldn't care less about M4! I love S4!"

Yuzu burst out laughing while everyone else laughed, except Subaru, who was shocked.

"Looks like we still have a long way to go, Subaru," Nozomu said.

Subaru nodded solemnly, "That's right. Extra practice, here on out."

Asahi gasped, then moaned and dropped his head to the table, "Why…" He cried.

Yume laughed awkwardly, feeling guilty, "S-Sorry…"

Kanata waved his hand, "Don't worry about it. He was going to do it soon anyways; this is his excuse for it."

Subaru turned red as everyone laughed at him, "I was not!"

Hime covered her laughter, then calmed, "Yuzu, Yume, back to work."

Yuzu made a sour face, "Aww! Yuzu wanted to take a break!"

Yume smiled at Yuzu but nodded at Hime and walked away, leaving them to sort out themselves.

~0~

"Hey Koharu," Yume called, spotting her friend in the hallway. "Have you heard of M4?"

Koharu looked up at her and nodded, "Of course. Why?"

Yume jumped at her in shock, "What? Seriously?" She shouted.

Koharu leaned away with surprise, "Yes."

"How come I've never heard of them, then?" Yume cried out again.

"What?" Koharu gasped, "How can you not? They're always in the magazines we read!"

Yume crossed her arms and closed her eyes to think about it, "I can't remember seeing them!"

Koharu sent her a concerned glance, "Why is it coming up now?"

Yume puffed her cheeks out, "It's because they came."

Koharu's eyes widened, "Really?"

Yume nodded, "Yea. And I had to serve them. And then that girl yelled at me…"

"Oh," Koharu said, "It's okay, I'm sure they came for the sake of S4." She smiled, "What are the chances that they'll be back?"

Yume laughed and nodded, "You're right. They probably won't have time anyways, aren't they busy with their own work?"

Koharu nodded, "I'm sure they are. Now come on, time for us to get back to work."

Yume gave Koharu a quick hug, and the two went back to work.

~0~

Yume hummed quietly to herself as she wiped down one of the tables. The cafe closed just a few minutes ago, so they were cleaning up before they would leave.

"Yume, Laura," Yozora called, breaking Yume from her trance of cleaning, "can you two take this trash out the back?"

Yume nodded, "Sure."

She went towards the bags, grabbing two of the four. Then, she spotted another pair of hands grabbing the other two. Following the arms up, Yume saw that it was the girl with pink hair. She awkwardly smiled at her, then turned to the back exit of the building,where the dumpster was.

Yume and her companion were quiet on the short route. When they neared the dumpster, Yume spoke up, "Sorry about before, again."

She glanced back at Yume, her eyes narrowed, but then she sighed, "I guess it's alright." She grinned, "Sorry, this job is new and makes me feel kinda weird."

Yume lit up as the girl became more open, "No worries! I'm Yume Nijino, by the way." She offered her hand.

"Laura Sakuraba," she replied, firmly shaking Yume's hand.

The two began to return to the cafe.

"So how old are you?" Laura asked.

"I'm fifteen," Yume said.

Laura nodded, "Me too."

"Where are you going for school?" Yume asked.

Laura smiled, "Starlight High."

Yume lit up, "Me too! And so is my friend, Koharu!"

Laura grinned, "Well then, I hope we can get along, Yume."

Yume nodded eagerly, "Yea!"

I'm tired of using Four Star so much, so the girls are going to Starlight High! Haha get it ;P

A question, how would you guys mind a crossover/inclusion of other characters? I'm considering it in a small plot, but I'm not sure. It would be with characters from Starmyu, but I'm unsure if it will happen yet.

Hehe, I really like this chapter. Anyways, leave a review! Thanks for reading! :)
