Chapter 12: Celebrity Friends

It was day two of rehearsal and Lavanya ran towards the theater while Kevin chased her.

"Leave me alone, Kevin! Someone stop him!" Lavanya shouted then when she got in Sour Cream blocked a very angry Kevin.
"Don't think you're safe, Lala! I'm still staying at your place! Once you let your guard down I'm gonna get you..."

"Not while I'm here you're not!" Sour Cream said then Kevin pushed him a bit and scoffed. As he walked away Lavanya stuck her tongue at Kevin then turned to face Sour Cream.
"Thanks..."

"No problem. But, what did you do to get him all mad like that?"

"Uh, let's say a little cutie made a toot on a place Kevin wasn't too happy about." Lavanya said then she whispered in Sour Cream's ear making the platinum blond gasped and chuckled.
"Nice job, Momo." He said as he held his fist then Momo softly tapped his paw against the fist and squeaked.

"Okay everyone gather please?" Steven called then as everyone gathered the small curly hair boy cleared his throat.
"Welcome to day two of rehearsal. Now Lavanya texted me this morning that someone dear to her is coming to take your measurements for the costumes."

"Really? Wow, Lavan who'd you find in such a short notice?" Jenny asked looking at Lavanya.

"That would be me." Someone said then everyone looked at the entrance and saw a girl with golden blond hair, a boy with dark hair wearing sunglasses, and another boy with silver hair and hazel eyes.

"Ah! They're here! Kuro!" Lavanya called happily then the back of Kevin's head spiked up as his face turned completely pale.

"What's with him?" Steven asked.

"Steven, do you even know who those two are?" Jenny asked then Steven looked at the group then shook his head.
"Nope. I do not." He answered then Jenny giggled.
"Those two are Kuro and Kira Yukimura. Kuro happens to be one of the youngest fashion designers and her younger brother Kira happens to be a very popular singer on the Internet."

"Really? How come I've never heard of him?"

"It's because most of his songs are Japanese." Sour Cream answered as he watched Lavanya talking to Kuro and Kira.

"It's been ages, Kuro. Hello Mihael."

"Hey, there Lala. How've you been?" Mihael asked then while Lavanya was about to tell her story, the silver hair boy noticed Kevin trying to escape.
"Hold the phone... Oh. M. Double G. Is that Kevin?!" He questioned with a gasped then Kevin froze and slowly turned to face the group.

"Lala, you still dating this fool?" Kuro asked in a sassy tone glaring at Kevin.

"Uh, actually..."

"Yes! We're still dating!" Kevin interrupted Lavanya then the blond hair girl licked his hand and he groaned in disgust.

"No we are not dating! I broke up with you ages ago!"

"You don't have proof, Lala." Kevin said grinning confidentially.

"He's right. You don't. But I do." Mihael said with a grin as he played a video on his phone.

"What the?! How did you get that?!"

"Oh, let's just say I stumbled upon you two and had a feeling something was gonna get messy."

"You little- -! Delete that!" Kevin said then while he was chasing after Mihael, Kuro started taking measurements. When it was Buck, Jenny, and Sour Cream's turn Lavanya smiled.
"Kuro, these are my friends Buck Dewey, Jenny Pizza, and Sour Cream."

"So you're Lala's new friends?" Kuro asked while she took their measurements and the three nodded. Kuro smiled sweetly at them.
"That's good to know she made friends that can be there for her." She said as she turned to look at Lavanya who was laughing as Mihael was teasing Kevin.

"Uh, Miss Kuro...? Do you know... About Lavanya's...?"

"Disorder? Yes. I did. Because she told me about it when we became friends." Kuro answered then she sighed softly.
"It worried me that we couldn't be there for her... But it puts my mind at ease to know that she has friends that can look out for her and also treat her like an actual person." She said as she stood up then she shook the three teenagers' hands.

"Please continue to be friends with Lavanya. I'll do the same as well." Kuro said then she walked towards Lavanya.

"Oh, are you done already?"

"Yeah. I'll get these done in about four days."

"You never cease to amaze me, Kuro. Thank you so much for doing this."

"It's no trouble." Kuro said then she hugged Lavanya and pat her head.
"You made such wonderful friends, Lala... I just wish I was there when you were in need of help." Kuro whispered then Lavanya hugged back and smiled.
"What are you talking about? You're helping me now, and that there is enough to make me happy." The blond hair girl said then Kuro giggled.
"By the way... Sour Cream looks pretty charming. I'd say you better snag him before I do." She said flirtatiously then Lavanya blushed brightly.

"Babe, you trying to cheat on me?" Mihael asked putting his hand on his hip then Kuro smiled and smacked her boyfriend with her notebook.
"Maybe if you'd stop flirting with girls I won't even have the thought of wanting to break up with you and find an even better boyfriend that's ten times better than you."

"I'd say dump him to save the trouble..." Kira suggested then Mihael whined hugging Kuro.
"I'll be a good boy! Please don't leave me!" Mihael cried then Kuro chuckled.

"You know you're always welcome to come back to Empire City, Lala." Kuro suggested then Lavanya smiled.
"I know. But my home is here. And besides, if I go back that's probably what Kevin wants."

"If you want him gone I'll sucker punch him." Kuro offered as she cracked her wrists.

"Th-There's no need for that, thank you! This is my fight... And I'm not gonna run away."
