Here is chapter 3. Thanks to deathshark for helping me with some of the songs.

"What are you planning, Eva?" Arlong leaned against his bunk, glaring holes into Eva's forehead.
"What do you mean?" Eva sat on her bed, grinning up at the seemingly made shark dude.
"Free tickets? Front row? Not like you at all."
"The poor girl was tramautized." She shrugged her shoulders. "Plus, Choo really seems to like her."
"He does not." She sighed, Arlong was such a pain in the butt, especially to her. Getting up from her bed, she pushed past him to open the curtain that separated the place where the bunks were and the little living room area.
"Just shut up and look."
"You shut up." Both of them looked at the little scene going on in there. Choo was playing his guitar for Shelly to see; making her squeal in the lowest volume possible. Eva chuckled when she saw the smile on Choo's face, he really did enjoy playing for Caylee.
"Now you see."
"All I see is Choo making a fan happy. He always does that." He left Eva. "I'm going to sleep."
"Jealous much." She taunted at him.
Choo and Caylee weren't the only ones in the 'living room'; Hachi was asleep on the couch, and Kuroobi was reading some kind of magazine about him and the band.
'I feel like some sort of puppy with the way these girls describe me. 'Hot, Sexy, I want to'…they actually let them put that in a magazine?!' Kuroobi looked up from his magazine, giving himself a few seconds to get over what he just read. He noticed how Choo was playing a song for the new girl they just rescued.
"Like?"
"Loved. What is it? A love song?"
"Maybe." Caylee chuckled at the way Choo was acting. She didn't take him to be the whole romantic type, or the flirting type. Of course, there's always a surprise under that wrapping.
"Show off." Kuroobi muttered to himself.
"Hey Kuroobi, can I see that magazine?"
"Why?"
"No reason." Against his better judgement, Kuroobi passed the magazine over to Choo. Right when he got his hands on it, Choo ripped the magazine right down the middle; in front of Kuroobi's face, I might add.
"HEY!"
"You should know by now not to trust me." Caylee laughed even more. She was having the time of her life. It made her forget about the whole attempted kidnapping.
"Mind if I?" She pointed to the guitar Choo was just playing on.
'Good luck girlie. Choo doesn't let anybody play his guitar.' Kuroobi smirked.
"Sure."
'Say WHAT?!' Kuroobi was dumbfounded. Here it was, a random girl they randomly rescued. Who randomly asked Choo to play his guitar. And he just said yes? What's the world coming to.
Caylee placed the guitar on her lap, positioning it perfectly. She took a deep breath before beginning a song.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me
"Wait a minute." Choo interrupted her before she could sing some more. "you sing and play guitar?"
"No. I just played random strings till I heard some pretty and sang some random words. Of course I play guitar." Choo was beyond amazed.
"That sounds more like a song you would sing to a girl." Kuroobi butted in once again. He didn't know why but he really didn't like the girl.
"I know. It's because my cousin, who is a boy, wrote it. I asked him to teach it to me so that I could sing it."
"Does your cousin have a little crush on you? Did he write it especially for you?"
"Why are you picking on me? And no, he wrote it for his girlfriend. And wanted to know what I thought about it."
"Miss Caylee, this is your stop." The bus driver stopped in front of Caylee's house. Eva immediately came out to bide her new 'friend' farewell. Caylee gave Choo back her guitar before giving Eva a big hug.
"Thanks for the tickets. Can't wait." Caylee started to take the steps down the bus, until a sudden realization set in. "OH SHOOT, I FORGOT MY CAR AT THE STORE!" 'Mom's gonna kill me. No, first she'd throw stuff at my face and then make me clean it up. After all that, she'll kill me.'
"Silly girl." Chris had jigged the locks on Caylee's light blue car, giving him the opportunity to steal it. Once inside, he took a look around. Only one word could describe what the inside looked like…CHAOS!
Empty pouches of juice, coiled up foil that had some cheese on it, little wrappers of rice krispies- all of it was everywhere. On the seats, on the floor, and on the dashboard.
"Well, we know she isn't a clean freak." Boris joined him in the car as soon as he sweeped the seat clear of trash.
"She got that from her mother." Chris was trying to figure out how to get the car going without the car keys. While Boris was just exploring the glove conpartment. Inside, there were a few books on the car and little hand held picture book.
"Look Sir." He brought out the book and flipped through it. Inside were countless pictures of the whole family together.
"Ah, Belle-mere." Chris took the book into his hands when a beautiful picture of Belle-mere came up. It was an ultra-rare one, only because it was when Belle-mere had all of her hair on her head. Giving her a very seductive look. The picture was just a head-shot, showing only the top of Belle-mere's neck and up.
"Quite a looker sir."
"Yes she was. Then she went and shaved her head." Chris tore that picture out of the book, folded it, and put it in his coat pocket. "Next, my girls had to go and get their hair colored, they're just like their freakin mother."
"I think they're actually pretty cute." Boris started to droll over a certain picture in the book. Nojiko, Nami, Julia, and Caylee were all dressed in different colored dresses. Their hair done nicely, but still colored. Each of them did a sexy pose for the picture.
Nojiko wrapped her arms around Nami's shoulder; Nami leaned against her, popping out her chest. Julia and Caylee were back to back, making the whole Charlie's Angels gun pose.
"When I'm done experimenting with Caylee, you can have her."
"I would be honored and excited sir. Except when are you ever done experimenting?"
"Oh fine, I'll kidnap one of my other ones for you."
"YOU LOST YOUR CAR?!" Caylee should have known that her mother would freak out like crazy.
"But I'm alive."
"You lost your car."
"But I met The Mermen."
"You Lost your car."
" But I got four free tickets to their show so now you don't have to pay for front row seats."
"Still, you lost your car." Caylee dropped her head in her hands, her mother not easing up on the conversation.
"I never said I lost it. I just said I forgot it."
"Everybody in the damn city knows how to steal a car."
"Really? I don't. Can you teach me?" Belle-mere placed her fingers on her head, feeling a strong headache forming. Caylee took this as her sign to leave the room, and quickly. With lightning speed, she had gotten off the couch and made it halfway doen the hall before she heard her mom explode.
She decided to take the door she was closest to, Nami's room. The door seemed to open right on time, and she took no hesitation in getting in.
"About time you got in here." She turned around to see Julia was the one to open the door for her. Caylee fell down onto her knees and took a much needed relief breath; Julia closed the door and locked it. Knowing that in about 1-2 hours, their mom was going to charge in there.
"Guys, you'll never guess what happened."
"You were walking down the aisles and found out they didn't have the brand of sake mom likes and decided to go into the back to look. While in the back, you saw two employees going at it hard and are now tramautized for the rest of your life?"
"How could you say that all in one breath?" Julia questioned her sister.
"No Nami, I didn't even get a chance to go looking around. Some creep tried to kidnap me."
"SAY WHAT?!"
"Now comes the best part, Guess who saved me."
"No more guessing. Just come out with it." Nami ran up to her sister's face and looked her square in the eyes.
"It was our favorite band, The Mermen." Julia immediately started to scream her head off. Nami, on the other hand, wasn't so convinced.
"You actually expect me to believe that The Mermen saved you. Next you'll be telling me that you got free tickets to their concert."
Caylee reached into the pocket on the side of her jeans, and pulled out the four tickets Eva had given her.
"Those…there…band…see." Nami could only mumble random words that popped into her head. Seeing something almost as beautiful as little plastic papers with admission letters to her favorite band concert was just too exciting and jumbling at the same time.
"Yup, all true."
"That means you met Kuroobi. Tell me what's he like? What's his favorite color? What's his favorite food? I bet it's seafood, isn't it?"
"Who cares about Kuroobi?!" Nami pushed Julia out of the way. "What about Arlong? Is it true that his long nose is real? Does he have a hard six pack?"
"Do you two honestly think that I cared about learning about those two? It's all about Choo, baby. All about the blondie."
"No, it's Arlong!"
"Kuroobi!"
"Choo!" The three of them got into a circle, glaring and growling at each other. Ready to probably get into an actual fist fight.
"Wait wait wait." Caylee put the tickets safely on the dresser next to Nami's bed. Julia was the first one to swing the first fist, missing Nami by a mile. Caylee climbed onto the bed and jumped off it. Landing on Julia's back.
"OW!" Nami did a twist kick, hitting Julia on her right boob. Julia backed up against whatever wall there was, making Caylee hit her back very hard. She also reached up for Nami's hair and pulled it along with her.
"What's going on in there?" A knocking and yelling from the door was all it took to make them stop fighting.
"Nothing." They all answered back casually.
"Then I'm opening the door in 2 seconds."
"No! ok, we were fighting." Belle-mere slammed open the door. Yes, it was still locked. Woman's got some mad strength there. She stood there at the entrance, both of her hands in her pockets and a cigarette hanging out of her mouth.
"And you didn't invite me?!" Belle-mere went to get Nami in a headlock.
" So Choo, what was the little connection I saw there between you and Caylee?"
"What connection?"
"Don't play dumb. I saw you eyeing her when she played the guitar and sang that song." Choo felt himself blush, and it had to be in front of his manager. That's got to be the worse time ever.
"No no no, Eva. I'm a ladies man. No one woman can hold me down for long."
'Not so sure about that.' Eva smirked to herself. One way or another, she's going to make Choo confess his feelings out-loud for the girl.
'Why is she being so pushy about this? Yeah, the girl is cute. But there are others girls just as cute, like…that red head…no wait, it was a blond. No no, she was brunette.' Choo liked the girl so much that it made him forget every 'cute' faces he's ever seen.
'Why is it that I only see Caylee in my head now? All it was for me was guitars and music. And then parties with a bunch of girls that just wanted to get laid. That's all. Now, it's all about that stupid girl.'
The bus stopped at its next destination, the stadium that the Mermen would be performing at: Cocoyashi Stadium. Choo looked out the window at the building, admiring all the details in it.
"Why did they add 'yashi' at the end?"
"When did you get here?" Choo nearly jumped out of his skin when Arlong suddenly sat next to him.
"Ask my parents."
"I didn't mean that, I meant, oh whatever." The bus drove to the underground parking lot for buses, countless cameras were waiting for the first glance of the Mermen.
"Let's go." Eva called out to them. She was the first one to step off of the bus and be attacked by paparazzi.
"Miss Hayes, Miss Hayes, is it true you're shacking up with the members of the band?"
"Tell us, who's your boyfriend?"
"Can we get you and your boyfriend kissing?" She groaned. Those kind of tabloids were always running around. Why did people think she was dating on of them?
The questions for her came to a halt when the mermen came off the bus. All of them were hiding their faces from the cameras with their hands. Hachi was about to get a pair of his hands on Eva to help lead her out.
Once safely inside the actual building, they immediately headed over to meet with the person who owns and runs it, Mr. Genzo.
"Sir, why did we steal your daughter's car?"
"It's all a part of my master plan."
"Which is?" There was a long silence.
"I don't know yet. But I'll work this in there."
