A few days later – the day of Bad Luck's television appearance. Shuichi waited impatiently to go out in front of the camera. Hiro and Fujisaki sat patiently at the table in the center of the room watching Shuichi pace.
"Settle down, Shuichi," Hiro said.
"I can't settle down," Shuichi commented. "It's so exciting. How can you be so calm Hiro?"
Hiro just looked at Shuichi, and then looked out the window. He thought of Ayaka – hoping she would watch. She was the reason he could be so calm. Shuichi leaned against the table, looking at Hiro. He looked into Hiro's eyes and knew that Hiro was no longer with them...
"5 minutes," a man called into the room.
Shuichi got excited again. "Yuki…"
"Shuichi, don't do anything that will bring unwanted attention," Mr. Sakano said.
"Who do you think I am Mr. Sakano?" Shuichi responded. "I am Shuichi Shindo. I know how to act."
"Come check this out!" a blonde man said sitting in a dark room watching the television.
Taki was with him, he gazed down at the TV. "What is it, Maa-kun?"
"Bad Luck is going to be on…" Maa responded.
"Shuichi, I'm coming for you," Taki muttered, Maa looked up at him.
Ryuichi and Touma stood off to the side, watching Bad Luck get on the stage. Shuichi looked over at Ryuichi. Ryuichi gave Shuichi thumbs up – Shuichi shot one back. K and Mr. Sakano looked upon Bad Luck as well.
"I just know Shuichi will blow this," Mr. Sakano was sweating and shaking.
K patted Mr. Sakano's back with hard slaps, "It will be ok. Remember what happened on Quiz de Pop?"
That made Mr. Sakano feel worse about Shuichi's behavior. "He almost screwed that up…" Mr. Sakano was shaking even more then he was before.
The cameraman put up his fingers. 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… The camera started to roll.
