Disclaimer: Still own nothing...

A/N: I decided not to discontinue... as you can tell... lol. Anyway, I might not update as much as I'd like due to fricken' track practice and all this other crap. Urgghhh. Oh, and I published my first AMV... It's Amuto, 'cause I don't have enough Rimahiko clips. :3 If you wanna watch it (even though it sucks), my YT screen name is IAnswerToHeyYou. Anyway, here's chapter 4. Well, technically 3. BUT LET'S SAY FOUR~ (or I keel you.)

Yaya had never responded to Amu's voicemail, so Rima and Amu assumed that she wasn't going to be able to help them complete their Things to do.

"Are you sure you don't want to call again?" Amu pressed.

"I'm sure." Rima argued.

Amu picked up the phone, daring to hit the ten digits that would really piss Rima off.

"Don't. You dare. Do it." Rima said stubbornly.

"Fine." Amu flung the phone across the room, onto Rima's bed.

"What's up for today?" Rima said as Amu picked up the paper to look over their well-planned-out list.

"Jerking." Amu grinned. Once again, in an evil way.

Rima just rolled her eyes as Amu got out a laptop. She turned it on, went to YouTube to find the song "You're a Jerk" by New Boyz and a how-to instructional video for Jerking. "Here we go..." she said, turning the computer to where Rima could see it too. "Since I already know how--"

"Nu-uh. You're gunna endure every second of this." Now it was Rima's turn for an evil smile.

They watched the video, attempted to Jerk along with the song, and failed the first few times.

After watching the video through more than a dozen times, they finally got it down.

"Now... where is the most crowded public place?" Amu asked.

Rima had been dreading this part, the embarrassment she'd go through. And what if there was a cute guy around? Or if someone from school saw her? What then?

"WAIT. I HAVE AN IDEA!" Amu yelled, picking up the phone.

"Hey! No calling Yaya!" Rima demanded.

"I'm calling Utau. Calm down."

Amu paused, said hello, paused again, then said "Utau, we need you to come over to Rima's house, we need you for something," and gave her the address.

She hung up the phone. "Utau's coming over." She said to Rima and smiled.

"What do we need her for?" Rima knew Amu was up to something…

"Oh, nothing." Amu wouldn't tell her for anything. Okay, maybe for a thousand bucks…

"Tell me. Now." Rima wouldn't let the subject drop.

"NO!" The doorbell rang. "That was quick…"

Rima and Amu rushed down the stairs. Rima was pushing Amu, trying to get to the door first, but Amu pushed her back and Rima stumbled.

Amu opened the door with a smile, to see Utau standing there with a confused face.

"So… what do you want me for?" She snapped.

"Well…" Amu turned to Rima who was just now getting to the last step. "Rima, go back upstairs. I need to talk to Utau." She demanded.

Rima rolled her eyes. "You've got to be kidding me…" She turned and headed back up the stairs, limping a little.

Amu waited until Rima had turned to go up the next flight of stairs and led Utau into the living room. Rima's parents were in the back yard, probably arguing, so they had the house mainly to themselves.

"So, here's what's going down… me and Rima made this, er, list, of things to do before we have to go back to school-" Utau rolled her eyes, stupid kids and their pointless lists, she thought to herself. "-and the first thing on our list is to learn how to jerk." Utau shot her a funny look. "THE DANCE! Pervert…. Anyway, we've already learned how to, now we're gonna do it in a public place…."

The Utau got it… the whole plan fell into place.

-----

"Rima! You can come back down here."

Utau had left. Her business there was done.

"Took you guys long enough." It had only been a few minutes, but it seemed longer because Rima had to wait.

Rima got down the stairs, still slightly limping, and asked what the plan was.

"Not telling." Amu smiled. "But I know what 'public place'-" she did the whole air-quotation-mark-gesture with her hands "-we're gonna use… it's perfect."

"Well…?" Rima waited.

Amu just simply shook her head. "We're going tonight." She smiled. You guessed it, it was evil.

"Ugh. I hate you, y'know."

"Love you, too."

-----

"Will you please take this thing off of me?" Rima begged anxiously while tugging at her blindfold.

"Nope, we're not there yet." Amu said, then turned to her mom who was driving. "Turn here, then pull over at the entrance."

The minivan turned and nearly skidded to a halt. Rima could hear muffled screaming, and wondered if she'd reached Hell.

"We're here."

Yep, they'd arrived at their destination.

"Where exactly is 'here'?" Rima asked, still tugging at her blindfold.

Amu yanked it off of her head and Rima immediately turned to look out the window of Amu's mom's minivan. She saw a sign with an almost-life-sized picture of Utau on it. The sign read:

Hoshina Utau in concert tonight!

Rima read it silently, then turned to Amu, glaring. "What in the world..."

Amu just grinned as she and Rima stepped out of the van. "Thanks for the ride, mom. I'll call you when it's over!" Amu yelled to her mom as she drove away.

"Yes, when this nightmare is over..." Rima murmured.

"Oh, be quiet. This is gonna be so much fun!" Amu half-squealed, jumping up and down in place.

She led Rima to the door, then gave her a VIP-pass-thingy to put around her neck so that they could go backstage.

"Wait... why are we going backstage?"

"You'll see."

Rima sighed. Torture, torture, torture.

So they made their way through the crowds and went backstage. Rima had to go somewhere out of earshot so that she wouldn't know exactly what they were planning.

"Halfway through would be okay, right?" Amu asked Utau.

"No... how about as an opening? Considering I don't have an opening performer..."

"Okay. You have the audio and lighting and everything, right?"

"Of course. We went over this yesterday, no?"

"Sorry... I just need to be sure."

"Yeah, yeah. Let's get on with it, shall we?" Utau finally declared, impatiently.

"Mkay."

Amu sprinted back to Rima and told her to get ready.

"Uhh... I already am?"

"Oh, yeah. Forgot. Anyway..."

An announcement was made. From backstage, it was muffled. All Rima could make out was "You're a Jerk" and "talented youth."

"Talented youth?" She asked Amu when the announcement was over.

"Shuttup. It's go time!" She yelled, dragging Rima onto the stage with her.

"AMU. I'm gonna kill you!" Rima whispered as the song "You're a Jerk" began to play.

"Shhhh! I hope you remember the steps..." Amu whispered back.

At first the crowd was silent, unsure of what to think. By the time half the song was over, they were cheering and egging the duo on.

Rima was blushing the whole time and, though she faltered a bit at first, got every step right. As did Amu.

When the song ended, they weren't exactly sure what to do, so they just ran off the stage awkwardly as the crowd began chanting Utau's name.

"That wasn't so bad, now was it?" Amu said to Rima as soon as they were backstage again.

"... Not. So. Bad? THAT WAS TORTURE!"

"You're lying to yourself." Amu grinned, then went to go sit in the audience.

Rima followed reluctantly. Though she wouldn't admit it to Amu, that was the single-most significant learning experience of her life. Just kidding, that would be Mars Hill (Long story...). But it was pretty fricken awesome, she thought.

They stayed for the rest of the concert, then left when it was over (not without thanking Utau for the use of her precious concert time, of course).

When they got to Amu's house, they pulled out the list and put a check beside number one.

"Get some beauty sleep, Rima. I know you'll need it for tomorrow!" Amu teased as she showed Rima the list, pointing to the next thing they'd have to do.
