Hey guys!

Here's the 2nd chappie! Sorry for the late update. Had a hard time getting my hands on the computer because of my sister and brother. I would like to thank my first 3 reviewers! And I just realized that in the last sentence of the last chapter, I changed to 1st person. Sorry!

Chapter 2: il risultato di sei giorni da una parte(Chapter 2: The Result of Six Days part 1)

Mikan Sakura

{Imai Mansion}

"What?" I asked, looking at Natsume as if he was insane.

"Do you want to join our band?" He repeated, lifting his tea cup to his lips.

"No, no, no. I heard you, but why? Didn't I say I was going solo?" I asked, massaging my temples. I had a huge headache from the flight. I needed to sleep.

"Yeah, but it would be better if all of us would just be in one band, Sakura-san." I heard Ruka say. I turned to look at him. I opened my mouth to protest, but before any words could come out, Hotaru butted in.

"Look, if we just keep on trying to convince her, we won't go anywhere, with that stubborn head of hers." Hotaru said, getting another chunk of her crab cake. (A/N: I know right! Crab Cake. That's one cake I'd never eat.)

"So what are we gonna do?" Ruka asked, looking at Hotaru with questioning eyes.

Then a long silence ensued. About 5 minutes have passed until Natsume spoke.

"How about this? Give us 6 days to convince you. We'll bring you to our rehearsals, recordings, and our concert this Saturday. If you like it, you'll join." He said. All of us looked at him. Hotaru and Ruka started nodding before looking at me for my confirmation. I thought about it. Maybe having a band wouldn't be so bad after all. I could finally sing in a concert without those arses.

I turned to them. "Fine. It's a deal. " And with that, the real tea party started, with all of us talking about what happened to our lives when I wasn't here. We laughed, (excluding Natsume and Hotaru, who just smirked at some stories) and ate the cake. Yeah, I can pretty say this was a great homecoming

{Day One, Sakura Mansion}

Bang!

With suprise, I fell down my bed. I hit my head somewhere in the back when I tried to get up. I then heard a chuckle. I turned to face the direction of the chuckle.

There stood my best friend, Hotaru, my ex boyfriend, Ruka, and my rival, Natsume. And I figured he was the one who chuckled.

"Hyuuga, don't you dare laugh at me. I only fell down because you guys decided to suddenly barge into my room early in the morning." I said, glaring at him. Okay, I should tell you guys. When I fell down, I brought the bedsheet with me, so right now it's covering my body. So when I tore it away so I could let them out and change, I suddenly saw Ruka blushing, Hotaru emotionless as ever, and Natsume smirking. I looked down to see why.

I was only wearing my bra and panty.

And the worse part was...

It was covered in polka dots.

And with that, I reddened with anger. I turned to look at them and saw them still standing there. Oh, the nerve!

"Get out! Get out now!" I shouted, pointing my finger to the door. "Get out this instant!"

"Whatever, polka dots." Natsume said with a smirk before leaving. I didn't care to react. Just as long as they were out of my room, I didn't care what they would say, especially that bastard.

From outside, I heard Hotaru's voice trying to tell me something.

"Be ready in 10 minutes. We have to go to rehearsals today."

I sighed. This is going to be a long day.

Time Bomb

By: All Time Low

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

When I got here I knew this was hard to hold
Like a clash the whole thing spun out of control
Oh, on wire, we were dancing
Two kids no consequences
Pull a trigger, without thinking
There's only one way down this road

It was like a time bomb, set it in motion
We were only destined to explode
And if I have to pull you out of the wreckage
You know I'm never gonna let you go
Oh, like a time bomb
Gotta use it, let's defuse it
Ticking like a time bomb
But I need it
Wouldn't have it any other way

Well there's no way out of this
So let's stay in
Have a storm that comes,
I'll soak us to the bone
Oh resistance is useless
Just two kids stupid and fearless
Like a motor, shooting a lesson
There's only one way down this road

It was like a time bomb, set it in motion
We were only destined to explode
And if I have to pull you out of the wreckage
You know I'm never gonna let you go
Oh, like a time bomb
Gotta use it, let's defuse it
Ticking like a time bomb
But I need it
Wouldn't have it any other way

Got your heart in my hands, like a time bomb ticking
It goes off, we start again
If it breaks, we fix it
Got my heart in your hands, like a time bomb ticking
We should know
That I love you, won't let go

It was like a time bomb, set it in motion
We were only destined to explode
And if I have to pull you out of the wreckage
You know I'm never gonna let you go
Like a time bomb
Gotta use it, let's defuse it
Ticking like a time bomb
But I need it
Wouldn't have it any other way

I watched as they practiced their last song for today, and honestly, it was kinda fun. But I'm still not sure. I guess I'll just leave it to the next few days.

"C'mon Polka. Let's go." Natsume said, grabbing my hand and leading me to the parking lot. When we were finally there, he stopped and let go off me. I turned to look at him.

"What was that for? Ruka and Hotaru were still in there."

"Exactly. Ruka's desperate to have her."

"Woah. And I thought it was only Hotaru who was desperate. She kept telling me in her e-mails about him, so yeah, I figured."

"Hn. Now let's go home. They need some privacy." He said, turning away and walking towards his car.

"Fine."

The same thing happened for 4 days. Can you believe it? They just repeat everything for 4 days? But I was prepared. Instead of just wearing my underwear when I sleep, I wear my red night gown. So, yeah. That incident never, ever, happen again.

{Day 5}

Knock knock

See, at least this time, they didn't just barge in. I got up to open the door, and there they stood.

"Morning, baka." I heard Hotaru say. I greeted them good morning, and told them to wait downstairs. They all went, and I, on the other hand, went inside the restroom.

{Downstairs, Sakura Mansion, a few minutes later}

I met them downstairs, where they were all seated in the dining table, eating the cupcakes I made late last night. No body looked up to acknowledge my presence until I sat myself down beside Hotaru. In front of me was Natsume, and in front of Hotaru was Ruka. No body spoke for a good 3 minutes, so I decided to break it.

"So?"

"So?" They all echoed, except for the person in front of me.

"Is it good?"

They all looked at each other and at the cupcake.

"Yeah." Ruka said.

"Too sweet." Hotaru said.

"Hn." We all know who said that.

"Great! So, when are we going to leave?" I asked, finishing my cupcake.

"Now." Natsune said, and with that, he grabbed my arm, dragging me out, with Ruka and Hotaru following us.

We got into our cars, and drove away.

Convict... Music. and You know we up front.

Baby stick on me, I'm gonna stick on you

I see you winding, grinding, up on that pole

I know you see me looking at you and you, already know

I wanna love you (love you),

You already know, I wanna love you (love you)

You already know...

Mobbin' in the club and I'm pressin'

I'm sitting back in the smoker's section

Bird's eye, I've got a clear view.

(You can't see me, but I can see you

It's cool, we jet, the mood is set)

Your lips are wet

You're rubbing your back, and touching your neck

Your body's moving!

I see you winding, grinding, up on that pole

I know you see me looking at you and you, already know

I wanna love you (love you),

You already know, I wanna love you (love you)

And you know my pedigree,

Used to move 'phetamines

And I'm loving the way you shake your ass!

In those jeans...

Big-O! Tropicanic!

Young-P! Yo it's my town

J-Dubb! Diesel, I'm out

I aint goin' back to jail!

"That's the last song. The concert's tomorrow already. We'll be great." Ruka said, and with that, we decided to eat out. We ate in my favorite restaurant, La Bella Luna. I ordered my favorite Spaghetti alla Carbonara, Natsume ordered Salsa Marina, Ruka ordered Pasta alla Gricia, and Hotaru ordered Linguine al Blue Crab Salsa. When the waiter who gave us the food was out of earshot, we started a conversation.

"So, how was your experience these past 5 days, Sakura-san?" Ruka asked, getting his spoon and fork.

"Great, though I'm still not sure." I replied, forking my pasta.

"Then the decision lies on tomorrow's concert." Hotaru said, turning her fork and putting it in her mouth.

"I'm sure you'll join us. Our concerts are the best. Right, Natsume?" Ruka turned to look at Natsume, who was forking his pasta and putting it in his mouth. "Hn."

When he swallowed his pasta, he continued. "Be prepared, polka. The concert tomorrow will be way more than you expected it to be."

"Yeah, yeah." I said, waving my clean fork in his direction."Give me your best shot."

And with that, we ate in silence. After we were through with our meals, I treated everyone with a drink. I ordered a dry martini, Ruka ordered a chocolate martini,Hotaru ordered a bloody mary, and Natsume ordered a cosmopolitan. We drank our drinks and headed home.

I took a bath, dressed up, and lay down on my bed. And when I say I tried to sleep, I really do mean it. I tossed and turned, but I just really can't. So I gave up, and jumped out of my bed. I sat on the chair near my dresser and thought about what my decison would be. If I join, that means I can finally be with my friends in concerts, tours, and all of that. If I don't, I won't have to argue for what I want, unlike how I did when I was still in the band with Luna and her goons. I pondered about it, until I reached a decision.

I will choose after the concert.

So I tried to sleep again, since my mind was already sort out. But I still couldn't, and I found myself humming a pleasant tune. And that's when I got the idea. I got my spiral notebook, a pen, and began writing. When I finished my song, I went to my piano and began to make the notes. When I finished it, it was already 2:00 in the morning, and I was sleepy like hell. I went to my bed and slept with a smile on my face.

{Day 6, 7:00 P.M.}

I was sitting on the couch inside Hotaru's dressing room. She asked me to tell her which dress would be the best. This practically might be the 20th dress she tried on, and I was bored as hell. I hope this dress would be the last.

When she stepped out of the restroom inside her dressing room, she was wearing a purple tanktop under a black jacket that was unbuttoned. She also wore a pair of black skinny purple Christian Louboutin heels. I sat up. This was it.

"Turn." I said, spinning my finger to signal her to turn. She did as she was told. I smiled. "That's it."

She sighed. I'm pretty sure she was tired. She grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the dressing room. Turns out she was almost late.

"I'm here. Let's go." And with that, she released me and followed Ruka and Natsume who were already walking up the stage. I just stared.

"Good evening, Japan!" Ruka shouted, winking at the crowd after he took his place behind the drums.

The crowd shouted louder. It was obvious they loved him.

"Careful, Ruka. You're princess there is getting jealous." Natsume said. Behind him, Ruka was blushing and Hotaru was glaring at crowd shouted louder than it already was. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Shut up, Hyuuga." Hotaru said, rolling her eyes.

"Anyway," Ruka interrupted, sensing a bad vibe from both ravens. "This is our first song entitled 'Time Bomb!'" And with that, they all played.

"And now, here's our next song." Hotaru said, flatly.

"We'll hurry this up, since we have a little surprise for you all." Natsume said, which earned a questioning look from Ruka.

"What?"

"Just watch, Nogi." Hotaru said. She faced the crowd. "This is our next song entitled 'I Wanna Love You.'" Then they started to play.

"Now, the next song." Natsume said, and they started to play again. They must really be in a hurry. They're not even talking.

" And now, our last song…." Natsume said.

"It will be followed by the surprise." Hotaru said, and they started playing.

That Girl

By: All Time Low

You know I don't frequent the LBC
'Cause I'm a bit too pale to run that scene.
The SoCal sun has grown on me,
And that girl, that girl.

Started with a bottle of cheap champagne,
Now she's got me hooked on her like the cocaine.
She's so numb this novacaine,
That girl, that girl.

So no kid, not tonight,
You're not that good,
And I'm not that type.
She's beautiful but she's cold as ice,
And that keeps me hanging on.

So what am I supposed to do oh oh?
When she's so damn cold like 20 below?
That girl, that girl, she's such a bitch,
I tell myself I can handle it.

Where am I supposed to go oh oh?
When she throws me out, and it's 20 below?
That girl, that girl she's such a trick,
But I can't lie, I'm in love with it.

That girl (oh oh oh oh).
That girl (oh oh oh oh).
That girl (oh oh oh oh).
That girl, that girl.

Now she won't buy my sex appeal.
Just an east coast kid with a record deal.
I play her song, she plays the field.
That girl, that girl.

Left me on the street in the middle of winter.
My frostbite heart says try to forget her.
Miss that kiss, but I'll always remember,
That girl, that girl.

So no kid, not tonight,
You're not that cool,
Nor you're not my type.
She's beautiful but she's cold as ice,
And I'm still hangin' on.

So what am I supposed to do oh oh?
When she's so damn cold like 20 below?
That girl, that girl, she's such a bitch,
I tell myself I can handle it.

Where am I supposed to go oh oh?
When she throws me out, and it's 20 below?
That girl, that girl she's such a trick,
But I can't lie, I'm in love with it.

That girl (oh oh oh oh).
That girl (oh oh oh oh).
That girl (oh oh oh oh).
That girl, that girl.

Sit around waiting for the spark to fade,
You can add another face to your pity parade.
I can't believe it, I've never felt so cheated.
Knock me down, it was all pretend,
Set me back up just to do it again (do it again).
You say I was overrated,
I say it's complicated.

So what am I supposed to do oh oh?
When she's so damn cold like 20 below?
That girl, that girl, she's such a bitch,
I tell myself I can handle it.

Where am I supposed to go oh oh?
When she throws me out, and it's 20 below?
That girl, that girl she's such a trick,
But I can't lie, I'm in love with it.

That girl (oh oh oh oh).
(That girl).
That girl (That girl).
That girl (oh oh oh oh).
(That girl)
That girl, (that girl) that girl.
That girl (that girl) that girl.

"Well, we're done!" Ruka said. He then looked at Hotaru. "So, what's the surprise?"

"This." Hotaru said, and with that, Cardiology, Mikan's former band, entered the stage.

"Hello, people!" Luna said, and with that, my jaw dropped.

Hell to The No.

Sorry for Typos!
