Chapter Five: The Sailor Singer, Part 1

The next day was a sunny day in Crystal Tokyo, Japan. Serena and the others were at the mall shopping. Kayla met up with them and all of them went to get food at the food court together. They sat down and started talking.

"Serena, how did you do on the math test yesterday?" Lita asked.

"Well I….um….I think I did good on the test," Serena said, even though she failed it. Mina leaned over to Lita and whispered something to her.

"I'll say she failed the test," Mina whispered to Lita. Serena heard her at finally admitted it.

"Fine, I failed the test," Serena confessed.

When the girls were done eating, they continued to shop some more. They went to every store there was. There was one store they needed to go to. The girls went to the CD store to get their CDs. They saw a sin in the window of the store.

"Hey there is a singing contest next week," Ray said. The girls entered the store. They bought their CDs and left the mall.

The next day, Kayla was on her way to meet the girls in the park. She was running late because she had to call her old friends. She ran don the street and ran into someone, which knocked them both don to the ground. When Kayla got up, she saw it was Seto she ran into.

"I am so sorry Seto. I didn't mean to run into you," Kayla apologized as she helped him up.

"It's ok Kayla," Seto replied, "Why were you running?"

"I was talking to my old friends in Egypt, and when I looked at the time, I was late to meet Serena and ….," Kayla was saying when she was stopped by a kiss from Seto. After he stopped she finished what she was saying. After she finished Seto took her to the park to see her friends in his car.

"Thank you Seto for taking me there," Kayla said

"You're welcome Kayla," Seto replied.

Back in the park, the girls were talking to each other about the singing contest.

"This could be my big break to be a singer," Mina said.

"You have as good of chance as anyone Mina," Ami said. Then a car pulled up to the gate of the park. Kayla and Seto walked over to the other girls.

"Sorry I am late guys," Kayla said, I lost track of time."

"It's ok Kayla, I am always late," Serena said.

"Isn't that the truth Serena," Ray replied. Serena gave her an angry look and stuck her tongue out. Ray did the same thing.

"Hey Kayla, why don't you try out for the singing contest too," Mina suggested.

"That is a great idea, Kayla you could win it," Seto said as he put his arm around her. Kayla nodded and laid her head on his shoulder.

"Alright it's settled, Kayla and Mina will enter in the contest," Lita said

A week had gone by and the additions were in the afternoon. Kayla was so nervous about singing in front of the judges. Seto came into the room to see how Kayla was doing.

"Are you ok Kayla?" Seto asked as he walked up to her.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just a bit nervous," Kayla replied. Seto put his arms around her.

"You'll be fine," Seto told her, "You have a great singing voice." Kayla felt better now

"You're right Seto, I will be ok," Kayla said as she turned to face him, "Thank you Seto."

"Will number 206 come onto the stage please?" one of the judges announced.

Kayla heard that and knew she was up.

"Well it looks like I'm up," Kayla said. Seto gave her a kiss for good luck.

"You can do it," he told her. Kayla nodded and went to the stage.

When she got to the stage the judges asked her a few questions.

"Ok Miss Ishtar why are you here and why are you going to sing?" one of the judges asked.

"I want to be a singer and I will sing 'Fly on the Wings of Love' by Mika," Kayla said. As she sang the judges were amazed at her voice. As soon as she finished, the judges applauded.

"That was truly amazing Miss Ishtar. We all think you should go to the finals, which will be held tomorrow," one of the judges said. Kayla jumped for joy. She had a chance to win. She ran backstage and jumped on Seto, who was standing there waiting for her.

"Seto, I made it to the finals," Kayla told him.

"That's great Kayla, se I knew you could do it," Seto replied.

"Let's go tell the others," Kayla said. Kayla and Seto went to se the other girls to tell them the good news.

When Kayla and Seto get to the others, Serena hugs Kayla.

"You made it to the finals too, we are so happy for you Kayla," Serena said.

"Thank you, but how did you know already?" Kayla asked.

"Mina heard and told us,' Ami answered.

"Let's go out for a celebration for you two," Lita suggested. Everyone nodded and left.

Kayla couldn't wait to tell Marik and Ishizu the good news.
