Rockman.EXE American Idol

As the group left the plane, Netto let out a loud yawn. "Jeez, are planes supposed to be that long and boring? Those pretzels were terrible too," he complained.

"They didn't even have proper leg room," agreed Yaito.

"Well, we're here now, so stop complaining," said Enzan, who was getting more and more aggravated by the second. The flight had indeed been long, boring, and uncomfortable. And he'd been seated right between Netto and Yaito and they had been complaining almost the entire time about the food, the seats, the in-flight movie, and whatever else they thought of.

They trudged to the baggage claim and waited for their bags. Each of them had brought two large duffel bags, with the exception of Yaito who had nine.

"What?" she'd said when they first saw her hauling all the bags, which were of course a rosy pink color. "I need a lot of stuff, especially if I'm going to be on TV."

"Alright," said Meijin once they'd all gotten their stuff. "Since there's so many of us, I suggest we split up. Enzan, Netto, Meiru, Yaito, and I will take a bus to check in at our hotel. Dr. Hikari will take Laika, Tohru, and Dekao on the shuttle bus to pick up the car that we rented for our stay here. Does everyone have that?"

Everyone nodded.

"Good, then let's go."

Meijin marched off purposefully towards the bus stop with Yaito skipping after him. Netto, Enzan, and Meiru all lagged behind, as they'd somehow gotten stuck with the job of carrying Yaito's luggage. Meaning each of them was carrying five bags.

The bus wasn't too crowded and they fit in easily. The ride to the hotel was fine and they got off after only a ten minute ride. Once inside the hotel lobby, Enzan, Netto, and Meiru collapsed on the couch, Yaito went to see if the vending machine had any strawberry milk, and Meijin got the keys.

"So," said Netto to start a conversation, "Who exactly is Simon Cowell?"

"He's the most cynical of the three judges," answered Enzan. "He's very critical and the least likely to pass someone and let them go on to the next round. He's also English. He's the guy that people will either love or hate and apparently someone really hates him."

"He doesn't really mean to be mean, though," protested Meiru. "He just speaks truthfully about whatever he thinks of the performance."

"He does kind of come off as a jerk though," said Yaito, who had come back after her unsuccessful pursuit of her favorite pink drink. She settled for pink lemonade instead.

"Do you guys watch the show?" Netto asked, looking at them all.

Enzan snorted. "Of course not. I just wanted to be prepared so I looked him up on the web."

"We love the show," said Meiru, gesturing to herself and Yaito. "It's really good."

"What's it actually about, though?"

"Well, a bunch of people audition and sing in front of the judges. Some of them can be really crazy and come in weird costumes or perform weird stunts while singing. A lot of people who go can't sing very well, but they think they can and I always feel bad for them, especially if they're the kind of person who honestly thought that they would get in," Meiru told him.

"But some people are really good," said Roll from her PET. "Then they go on to the second round, where more people are eliminated. After that there's the finalists who perform and then the audience and people watching the TV can vote for who they want to win."

Rockman laughed nervously. "And…we're supposed to compete?"

"Yup, I can't wait!" exclaimed Meiru. Enzan muttered under his breath.

"Alright!" Meijin came up just then. "We're in rooms 301 to 305, since there's so many of us."

The bunch all got up, heaving their bags over their shoulders and hustled over to the elevator.

Meanwhile, back at the rental car place (very imaginatively named Cars 2 Rent) Laika, Tohru, Dekao, and Hikari-hakase all exclaimed in unison, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE ONLY CAR LEFT IS HOT PINK!"

A/N: Lol. I couldn't resist that last part. You can probably all imagine Laika's reaction to that. XD Please R&R!
