I LOVE YOU ALL DFAHJFLJAS
{Amu POV}
Today is the day of the talent show, and me and the girls can't be more excited. We were in the back, getting ready. We already had our outfits picked out.
Utau had a stunning black dress that went up to her mid thigh with little purple trims on the sides. She wore her hair up in the usual pigtails with purple ribbons and black heels. [Think when she was preforming in the anime series. Kinda like that.]
Rima was wearing a cute little yellow dress that stopped at her knees. She has her hair down with a red hair band and white flats. She had on some yellow bracelets and such to complete the outfit. She looked so cute.
Yaya had on a redish skirt with an also redish top with black stripes. She had her hair also in little pigtails with red ribbons and black flats.
Me..I had on a white rocker-tee and some pink skinny jeans. Tight skinny jeans. Rima and Utau said they were that tight to make up for me not wearing a dress or anything like that. 'Like hell I'd wear one of those' I thought. But yeah I also had on some white sneakers and a pink bracelet. We were waiting on the side of the stage while the other preformances went on.
The order of the show caused Ikuto's group to go right before us, which was kind of lame. But it didn't matter, I wasn't really thinking about that. I was a nervous wreak. What if I messed up? What if I forgot the lyrics? What if-
"Amu! Calm down. Sheesh. You look like you're about to have a seizure." Rima said with a frown. I just gave her a weak smile.
'Rima's right. I'll just treat this like it was practice. I did fine then, right?' To distract myself from my thought, I looked at the stage to watch the current act. I was a little surpirsed. It was that red head that I told off the first day. Miya? Taya? What the hell was her name..Saaya! That's it. She looked like she was going to sing. I was really curious, remembering that speech she had given me about how she was the fer sure winner for the auditions and she sang like and angel blah blah blah.
The music started, and so did the tourture.
[Stupid Shit – Girlicious]

'cAuSe EvEn iF tHe CoPs iS cOmIn' I aInt gOnNa StOp nO
Welp.I'm pretty sure my ears are bleeding. I went further back stage to the audio room as she continued.
LeT's dO sOmE StUpId ShyiIiIieEt

When I finally found it, I quikly undid the wires for the microphone, so Saaya was left out there singing so no one could hear her. I heard a round of applause for the end of the dreadful preformance, and I smirked. Saaya was thrown off stage, as the next act came on stage. I got back in time to see Ikuto, Tadase, Kukai, and Nagi setting up. I pouted at the fan girls screaming. They were done, and I noticed something weird. Nagi and Kukai had microphones next to them, just like Ikuto. 'So, they're gonna sing? Oh this will be good.' Then, the music started.
[Pop Princess – Click Five]

I lost myself at your show last night
Looking at the sparkling eyes
In the middle of a fresher crowd.
You keep living like you're a movie star
But tell me who you really are,
When the lights go down.
'He's..Such a good singer..' I was captivated by Ikuto. He was so good on stage, you'd think he was born to do it. He also didn't look to bad..I quickly shook my head at the radical though, and listened to the song. Was it me, or did he just look straight at me? I blushed and turned my head away with a small pout.
Baby your a glitter doll
On the radio
I dissolve
In the stereo
You've got me
You've got me coming back for more
Pop princess hold my hand
Pop princess I'm a fan
Pop princess I need you now
Freak me out, turn me inside out
Pop princess make me smile
Pop princess drive me wild
Pop princess I need you now
So baby turn your love up loud.
You were hiding in a darkened stall
Waiting on your curtain call
Getting your piece of mind
But I was looking past the glossy stare
I knew who was really there
And I'd like to spend some time
{Utau POV}
I was really surprised when Kukai started to sing. He didn't sing as well as Ikuto, but he wasn't bad either. He seemed to be having a lot of fun up there, with that stupid, goofy, cute grin. 'WOAHWOAHWOAH. I DID NOY JUST CALL HIM CUTE. THAT WAS A TRICK OF THE MIND.' As I was battleing myself inside my head, I could've sworn he looked right at me and stared at me with that stupid {Cute} smile. I felt a small blush on my sheeks as I quickly looked away somewhere.
Baby you're a glitter doll
On the radio
I dissolve
In the stereo
You've got me
You've got me coming back for more
Pop princess hold my hand
Pop princess I'm a fan
Pop princess I need you now
Freak me out turn me inside out
Pop princess make me smile
Pop princess drive me wild
Pop princess I need you now
So baby turn your love up loud
Baby girl I think you're radical
But you're a star and I'm fanatical
Can we start something new
Just between me and you
{Rima POV}
'Great…The idiots going to sing..I bet he sucks..' I thought as he started to sing. I was surprised. He didn't sing all that bad. He seems a little cautious at the start, but then he glanced over in my direction, and started singing more confindently. If it was anyone other than him, I would've said he looked at me. I shook the thought away and watched him continue. He's kind of hot up there on stage..
I then proceeded to slap myslef in the face for thinking such a thought. When I was about to do it again, I saw him look over here again. But this time, he stared instead of just glancing. And I was pretty sure..He was staring..At me. I blushed a wee little bit and looked the other way with a little frown as they continued to play.

{Normal POV}
The fans were freaking out as they kept on playing. The guys were finishing up and the girls went back stage to get ready. All the girls had the same thought in their heads. 'did he really look at me? Why?' But forgot everything as they went to set up.
"Alright girls. Lets make them scream louder for us than they did for the guys." I said with a grin. They all grinned back and agreed and went to their positions as the music stared.
[Tell Me Something I Don't Know]
[Amu – Normal. Utau – Bold. Rima – Italics. All Of Them – Underlined.]
Everybody tells me
That it's so hard to make it,
Yet so hard to break it,
And there's no way to fake it,
Everybody tells me that it's wrong what I'm feeling,
I shouldn't believe in,
The dreams that I'm dreaming,
{Ikuto POV}
Amu really is a captivating person. No matter where she sings, she'll always grab your attention. In a good way. Not to mention what she was wearing was really hot. And she looked like she was having so much fun singing. 'So adorable…HOT. I MEANT HOT. I TOTALLY MEAN TO THINK HOT.' I told myself as I watched them play. Then suddenly, Amu looked over at me and..Winked? 'What the hell was that?' I thought silently with a shocked face. She just smiled even more and kept on singing.
I hear it everyday,
I hear it all the time,
I'm never gunna amount to much,
But they're never gunna change my mind.
No
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know.
How many inches in a mile,
What it takes to make you smile.
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby.
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know.
Everybody tells me
I don't know what I'm doing,
This life I'm pursuing,
The odds of me loosing.
Everybody tells me that it's one in a million,
More like one in a billion,
Oh, one in a zillion.
{Nagihiko POV}
I already knew that Amu and Utau was going to sing, I was surprised when Rima started singing. She was pretty good too. She looked very cute in her outfit, and it made me all happy just seeing her happy. 'Wow..I have turned into such a priss..' I thought with a scowl. Then suddenly, she looked over at me and smiled. Now smirked, or grinned, or glared, but smiled. I was shocked beyond all, and that must've shown on my face, because she just smiled even more before going back to the song.
I hear it everyday,
I hear it all the time,
I'm never gonna amount to much,
But they're never gonna change my mind.
No
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know.
How many inches in a mile,
What it takes to make you smile.
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby.
Amu, hit the track
Like Rima makes a
wish like Medina
Make 'em say 'I'm ready'
I'm on my way,
I know I'm gonna get there someday.
It doesn't help when you say,
It won't be easy.
{Kukai POV}
I couldn't help but chuckle a bit at the first part of Utaus verses. She was like, rapping. I smiled a bit and kept my eyes on her as she sang. 'Man..She really is hot. What is she doing wearing something like that? Does she want to be attacked?' I shook my head a bit and kept watching her. Then suddenly, she looked right at me. I jumped back a little bit at the sudden eye contact and she started to laugh a bit in between breathes. I just stared as they continued.
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know,
Something I don't know.
How many inches in a mile,
What it takes to make you smile.
Getcha not to treat me like a child, baby.
{Normal POV}
Amu's group finished up, and the crowd was going crazy. Just as crazy as they were when Ikuto's band was playing, if not more. They finished then got off stage and all high fived each other.
{Amu POV}
We got off stage and high fived. "Guys! That was awesome! You all did fantastic!" I said with a big grin.
They all laughed and congradulated each other. Then I thought back to the performance. For some unknown reason, I looked straight at Ikuto at one point. I was surprised to see that he was also looking straight at me. So I messed with him and did a little wink, and was overjoyed with the shocked look on his face before he looked away. The thought made me smirk. I also noticed that the girls had done the same thing with Kukai and Nagi, and were also smirking. We all started laughing at the guy's reaction, when a announcement was made.
"Everyone please quiet down. The judges have reviewed all the performances, and have decided on the winner." Everyone got dead silent as it continued. "We thank everyone for participating, it was a great show and everyone did awesome. Now for the winners."
Everyone looked up at the speakers hopefully.
"The winners of this years talent show is.."
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN. THE END. HA. I'M SUCH A BITCH
Ikuto – HELL NO YOU KEEP WRITING
LOLJAYKAY. SCURRED YA DIDN'T I? OF COURSE I'LL KEEP WRITING.
"The winners are..It's a tie! Between Amu Hinamori's group and Ikuto Tsyukiyomi's group!"
Me and the girls' jaws dropped.
"WHAT?" I yelled at the speaker. 'That is so not fair! It can't be a tie! What the hell!' I thought angerly.
"The winners all get a free ticket to the beach for the upcoming spring break!" The announcement continued. I just scowled at the speakers, not really caring about the beach. The other girls had the same attitude. After the announcement was over, everyone started to leave. Ikuto, Kukai, Nagi, and Tadase walked up to us with a small smile on their faces. "Looks like we both won, huh?" Ikuto said, smile turning to smirk. I just glared at him and walked away.
"Amu! That song was really good!" Ikuto suddenly yelled at me. I turned around fast with a confused expression. He had his hands in his pockets and he was looking down. "The song you wrote. It was pretty good. Think you can add some male lyrics in there next time for me?" He asked with a sheepish grin. I just smiled and nodded my head, and all eight of us left together.
At Amu's House
I laid down on my bed, thinking about the day's events over in my head. Then I slowly started to think about the beach. If she remembered right, it was a week trip for Spring Break. She sighed deeply. 'I can't leave for that long..What about Ami?' I just shrugged. There will be other times, right? I smiled a bit to myself, and fell asleep with the same smile on my face.
BAM. GOOD, NO?
Ikuto – No. Not good at all.
Amu – That's mean!
Ikuto – I WANT TO SEE AMU IN A BATHING SUIT.
NO WORRIES I HAZ A PLAN. HOPE YOU LIKED IT.
Oh, and someone reviewed about Tadase being left out with the romantic interest stuff. I was also thinking about that, and I need some help. I also left out Nadeshko in this part, but I'm not sure if I shoud pair Tadase up with her, or Yaya. If he gets paired with Nadeshko, then I'll probably bring Kairi in the story for Yaya. Your opinions please? I'm not sure what to do. ;-;
