Rachel sat on her purple and blue tour bus. She was at the part where the detective announces who killed the queen ( though she already figured it out four chapters earlier ) when her manager and best friend came in.

Kori was from an island called Tamaran. She had skin so tan it was almost orange. Her hair was so red it looked like fire. Her electric green eyes seemed to glow on the few occasions she got angry. Kori was very tall, and had an hourglass figure. Her native ways were, put bluntly, very cruel. She was always fascinated in how people act and the things they do. Her innocent, naive beauty made men drop dead. She never noticed the looks she got though. Her only wish was to make everyone she meets happy. And so far, she was succeeding.

Rachel, on the other hand, was basically the complete opposite. Straight raven black hair, pale skin, and crystal clear dark blue eyes. She was petite, with a very curvy figure. She didn't usually like attention, but when she was singing it was like she was in a different universe. Kori was the only person, except her mom, who heard her sing up close and personal. They had been friends since Rachel was six and Kori was seven. When Rachel was thirteen, she sang for Kori. Kori waited until Rachel's voice evened out (ya know, puberty and all that), then told her guardian how great she was. Galfore, her uncle/guardian, was a producer. After a lot of persuasion on Kori's part, Rachel agreed to the contract. Now they were traveling the world on her tour. Right now, they were on their way to Jump City. Bruce Wayne was funding their trip.

"Friend Rachel, put the book down. We are arriving the the City of Jump!" Rachel smirked and set her book down.

"You mean Jump City, and yes, I know we're arriving. I have to keep my emotions under control so I don't freak out, you know I can't get as excited as you."Kori nodded. Rachel had a problem where it was hard for her to express her emotions openly. If she showed too much, she would have an emotional breakdown. The bus stopped and the girls walked out to the giant stadium.

"And they sold all the seats?" Rachel was super nervous. This would be the most people that she would ever see. Bruce stood in front of it.

"Hello, girls. Welcome to Jump City. I hope you enjoy your stay. My son and his friends will show you the hotel you'll be staying in. Call them if you have any questions." Three boys they hadn't noticed before stepped up to introduce themselves. The first had spiky black hair and clear light blue eyes. He took Kori's hand and kissed it. She giggled and blushed. Rachel rolled her eyes.

"I'm Richard. Pleased to meet you."

"I am Kori. This is Rachel. Pleasure to meet you new Friend Richard." The next was an African American who had a tall, sturdy, muscle ridden build. He had his head shaved. His gray eyes shone with confidence and happiness.

"I'm Vic. Nice meetin you lovely ladies." Rachel offered a small smile, but remained silent.

"Hello new Friend Vic. It is nice to meet you as well." The last one had blonde hair, tan skin, a splash of freckles just barely visible on the bridge of his nose, and bright green eyes that shone with mischief and laughter, but there was something hidden under it. Rachel could just barely see the hidden pain.

"Hi! I'm Gar. This is such an honor." Rachel offered him a smile too, but this time she spoke, slightly startling them.

"Hello. It is a pleasure to make your aquantance(sp?). I hope we will get along for the time i-" Kori elbowed her, "excuse me, we will stay." Gar smiled, flashing a set of white teeth with slightly above average canines.

"Let's go show them around the city," Richard suggested, taking Kori's hand again. They went around the city, Rachel keeping quiet most of the time.

'Maybe this won't be so bad...'
