The gang was getting ready at their hotel room. The guys didn't really want to go to the club, but the girls "nicely asked" if they could take them. That is, if you consider nicely being threatened with a knife, a chainsaw, and a gun.

"Do you think I should wear the black one or the purple one?" Reivin asked Tara.

"The purple one so it can match your eyes. You can wear the black mini with it." Tara responded as she combed her hair. Tara was wearing a jean mini skirt and a light pink halter top. Her hair was up in a messy bun kind of way with a few strands framing her face.

"Purple one it is!" Reivin said as she put on the ice blue tank top. She was also wearing a tight black mini skirt. Her hair was up in two high ponytails that made her look a bit childish and innocent but it still looked good on her.

"Could you hurry up! We don't have all night you know!" Katana said as she sighed from where she was on the bed. Katana was wearing black baggy pants with lots of pockets and chains everywhere. She wore a black tube top with a flame patter that said "HOT" in huge letters. Her hair was up in a high ponytail with two long strands framing her face.

"Calm down," Tara said. "The club's open all night so it doesn't matter."

"Hurry up!" yelled all three guys from where they were in the living room. The girls sighed and left the room.

They found the guys sitting on the couch. Tala was staring at the roof, Rei was playing with the tip of his hair, and Kai had his eyes closed and arms crossed.

Tala was wearing jean baggy carpenter style pants and a blood red shirt. The shirt said "don't bother talking to me, I have you on mute".

Rei was wearing normal baggy blue jeans with just one chain going from one pocket to the other. He had on a dark blue shirt that said "I'm a real good listener…what did you say again?"

Kai was wearing jean baggy pants with lots of pockets and chain like Katana's only they had a gothic kinda look on them. He had on a black shirt that said "When you talk to me, it's like signing your death wish"

"Finally!" Rei said as soon as he saw the girls. Kai opened one of his eyes first and then both of them. Tala kept staring at the ceiling.

"Tala, what are you looking at?" Reivin asked as she looked up too.

"There's a spot at the ceiling that looks like a dog with rabies eating a cheese bagel and there's little dancing cream filled doughnuts floating around it…" Tala said as he kept staring.

"That is so stupid." Tara said.

"It's true!" Reivin said as she stared too. Everyone except Reivin and Tala sweat dropped.

"It's official, you guys are idiots." Katana said as she sighed.

"Thanks." Reivin and Tala said at the same time.

"Can we just go? You can look at spots some other time." Katana said.

Reivin and Tala stopped staring and nodded. They all headed towards the car and over to the club.

The club was a huge building staring at it from the outside. It had a big sign in neon yellow that said "Bling" which was the name of the club.

They went inside and it was even better. There were a lot of booths and a dance floor and a stage for karaoke. There were teens of all ages and there was also a huge bar. There were bean bag chairs and a few couches too. There were some TVs here and there and currently there was a girl singing on stage while everyone danced.

"It looks nice!" Reivin yelled over the noise of the crowd.

"Yeah!" Tala yelled back. "Let's find a table where we don't actually have to yell!"

They made their way to a table where it was slightly quieter. You could see the stage perfectly and there wasn't as much noise.

"What can I get you?" asked a girl that apparently worked there.

"Beers all around." Tala told the girl and she smiled before leaving to get what they wanted.

"Tala, I don't drink." Reivin said when the girl left.

"Come on Reivin, weren't you the one that said "live a little" when we were shopping?"

"I hate it when you use the things I say against me."

"I know, that's why I do it." He said as he rested his head on her shoulder.

"Hey Tara! Wanna go dance?" Rei asked and Tara nodded as they stood up and left the table.

Tala and Reivin were talking about which was better: Muffins or Bagels.

Katana sighed and looked at Kai. He looked thoughtful, like he was debating over something inside. Kai was staring at nothingness as Katana watched him with curiosity.

"Hey Tala?" Kai suddenly said which startled them since they haven't heard from him in a while. Kai stood up. "Come here for a second."

Tala nodded and left somewhere else with Kai. Reivin looked at Katana and she shrugged.

"What's going on between you and Kai?" Reivin asked.

"I don't know…"Katana answered. "He's been so sad lately. Especially when we were at mall. Do you think he's mad at me or something?"

"I don't think so. But, what could have made him sad?"

"I think it's because of what we talked yesterday?"

"What did you talk about at the mall?"

"I asked him why he didn't smile at me like he used to" I guess that must have gotten him mad or something."

"Kai used to smile? Are you talking about the same Kai Hiwatari I know?"

"Yes, I am." Katana said as she rolled her eyes. "Kai used to smile a whole lot back in Russia. He was cheerful and so smiley too. I really don't know what happened since he won't tell me."

"It's hard to imagine Kai being cheerful?" Reivin mumbled.

"Reivin! I'm serious!" Katana said, a bit of hurt in her voice.

"I'm sorry Katana. I was just kidding, no hard feelings, okay?" Reivin said. Katana smiled and nodded at her friend.

(With Kai and Tala)

"So, you're really going to do this?" asked Tala with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, I have to." Kai said. "It'll make her happy."

"If you say so." Tala said with a shrug. "Should we get Rei to help?"

"Yeah."

Kai and Tala went over to where Rei and Tara were dancing.

"Hey Rei, got a second? We need your help." Tala said. Rei nodded and told Tara to meet him at the table where the girls were.

"So, what's up?" Rei asked.

"Well?" Tala said as he started to tell Rei Kai's plan. Rei raised an eyebrow.

"Are you serious?" Rei asked in disbelief.

"Are you gonna help me or not?" Kai asked, getting impatient and rolling his eyes.

"I guess." Rei said and all three walked off somewhere else.

(Back with the girls)

"Hey girls!" Tara said as she sat down next to Reivin.

"I thought you were dancing." Katana asked her.

"I was, but Tala and Kai took Rei away!" Tara said as she pouted. Reivin laughed a bit and then shook her head.

"They're up to something." Reivin said.

"What was your first clue?" Katana asked.

"Err…you don't wanna know!" Reivin said as she laughed nervously.

"You're right." Tara said. "We don't."

"Attention everyone!" said a guy as he climbed up on the stage. "Thanks all for coming. Now for our next performance we have some guys that wouldn't let me live my life in peace until I let them perform."

Some people laughed at that but listened anyway. "The one singing the song asked me to say these exact words: This song is for Skye, the beautiful mermaid that brings light into my life. You know who you are, and I just hope this makes you smile again."

The crowd went "Aww!" and the guys spoke again. "Whoever this Skye girl is, she must be really lucky I have to say. And now, here we have 'em!"

The curtain opened and all three girls at the table gasped. Right there stood Kai on the microphone, Tala on electric guitar, and Rei on the keyboard. Katana blinked as she realized what he was going to do.

The music started to play and Kai started singing.

"I walk a lonely road

The only one that I have ever known

Don't know where it goes

But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street

On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Where the city sleeps

And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line

That divides me somewhere in my mind

On the border line

Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines

What's fucked up and everything's alright

Check my vital signs

To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah

Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone

I walk a...

I walk this empty street

On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Where the city sleeps

And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

'Til then I walk alone..."

He finished the song and everyone clapped and cheered. He was surprisingly a good singer. He looked over to where Katana was seated and she gasped.

He had smiled at her. Just like back in Russia, he smiled at her. She stood up and ran to the stage. She climbed up to where he was on the stage and hugged him around the waist. He hugged her back and held her close.

"Kai. I'm so happy." Katana said as tears of joy fell down her cheeks.

"I thought you'd like it." He said as he smiled again at her and bent down to kiss her. The crowd was again filled with "Awwws" as they watched them.

They all left the stage and people once again returned to what they were doing. Kai and Katana walked towards the table they were at and so did Rei and Tala.

"That was awesome!" Reivin said as they sat down.

"Yeah, it was." Tara said as she smiled and leaned her head on Rei's shoulder.

"I'm tired." Katana said as she yawned, Kai's arm around her shoulder. "Can we go now?"

"Sure." Reivin and Tara said at the same time as they all stood up and left.

"You know, we never got our beers." Tala said as they drove to the hotel.

The others laughed but he just didn't see what was so funny.

They got to the hotel and instantly went to bed.

(Tara and Rei)

Tara laid down on the bed and Rei next to her.

"Today was nice." Tara said. "Who knew Kai could sing."

"No one did." Rei said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. "Now go to sleep."

Tara laughed at Rei as he closed his eyes, forcing her to do the same.

But she didn't really complain about being this close to him.

(Reivin and Tala)

"Stop it Tala!" Reivin yelled.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because! It hurts!"

"Fine you baby." Tala said as he sat on the bed crossed legged.

"Hey, it's not my fault I'm ticklish! My side was hurting from laughing already!"

"Yeah, yeah." Tala laid down on the bed and closed his eyes. "Just go to sleep."

Reivin smirked before she got on top of him and he opened his eyes. She smiled at him and kissed him softly. He pulled her closer but she pulled back with a devilish smirk and went over to her side of the bed.

"Meanie!" Tala said as he pouted.

"Just go to sleep." She said with a hint of amusement in her voice.

(Kai and Katana)

"Thanks for the song Kai." Katana said as she laid down next to him on the bed.

"It made you smile like before." Kai said as he looked at her.

"That's because you smiled like before too."

"I guess." Kai said as he pulled her close. "Now, about that bonding sex?"

Katana gasped and was about to say something but he kissed her. She kissed him back, enjoying every second of it. He started pulling at her pajama top, and that's how it began…
