Hi, it's me again. I accidentally deleted everything when I was almost done… so I've got to redo everything! The State Exams are looming… But this time, I've outdone myself! I typed up 5,729 words!

The Day of The Concert

"Okay, the concert is tonight. So go and enjoy yourselves." I told the Guardians, Utau, and Ikuto. They nodded and dispersed. I was currently in my Rima Chara Change. A green accessory scarf wound itself around my neck and my necklace's Sakura charm turned into a green teardrop-shaped one. I put my hands behind my head (A/N~ Naruto Style!) and began walking around an empty Central Town.

"Nee-chan!" came tow voices. I felt two tugs on my skirt and I looked down. It was Youichi and Aoi, whom both were panting. I dropped down to their level. "What's wrong?" I asked "Bullies are after us…" Youichi panted. I looked behind them, and sure enough, there was a gang of about five high schoolers behind them. I growled. No one picks on my little brother and Aoi. "Move aside." The 'leader' said. "No." I growled back. "We'll be forced to hurt you." He warned. "So? You're just a bunch of wanna-be gangsters." I shot back. "You asked for it." He said, cracking his knuckles.

"Well?" I asked. What was wrong with him? We've been standing here for five minutes and he still hasn't made a move. "I'm trying!" he burst out. Just then, I noticed that there was a rather pleasant tingling sensation around my arm, but I had unconsciously Nullified it. Hmmm… Pain Alice. I had no need to copy his Alice, since I had already gotten it from Hotaru's brother, Subaru. I snapped my fingers and his shorts burst into flames.

His eyes widened and he stuttered "Y-y-you have the Fire Alice!" I nodded. He turned and ran for his life, with his minions racing to catch up, Aoi looked up at me. "Arigatou Mikan-nee." I was surprised. "Mikan-nee? Who told you about that?" She looked over to Youichi. "Youichi told me."

I glared him, but Youichi just shrugged. "Mikan-nee, Natsume-nii says he misses you. So why do you hide yourself from him. I felt extremely guilty. "I'm not ready for that yet, Aoi. Call me Diamond-nee." "Okay." She nodded. "This isn't your true form. You're in your Chara Change." My eyes widened. This little girl was seriously smart. "How did you know?" I asked. "She told me." Aoi answered, pointing above my head. I looked up, and saw an unfamiliar Chara.

"This is your Chara Aoi?" I asked, and she nodded. Her Chara floated down to my level. "Hello, my name is Haruhi. I am Aoi's desire to become braver." She introduced. I deactivated my Chara Change, and my scarf disappeared, and my Charas came out. "I'm Megumi! I'm Mikan-chan's desire to become more playful and energetic! I excel at sports. Megumi introduced. "I'm Hikari, Mikan's desire to become more flirty and devious. I excel at acting. I'm usually in Chara Change with Mikan, since I am the old her's opposite. The quiet one next to me is Rima. She is Mikan's desire to be more calm and collected. She is also incredibly blunt." Said Hikari. "Thank you Hikari." Said Rima, and she went back to reading her book. "So, now that we've been introduced, how about we walk around the campus?" suggested Megumi. "Okay then, Chara Change Megumi. The rest of you, go back into the bag." I instructed. They obeyed, and we were well on our way.

Four Hours Later

"Whew." Sighed Aoi as she and Youichi plopped down on the bench. I giggled. Truth was, I had activated my Stamina Alice somewhere around the two hour mark, and I was still in Megumi's Chara Change. "Okay Megumi, swap with Hikari again." I whispered into my bag. My scarf disappeared and the red tinted sunglasses reappeared. My necklace's green teardrop charm also turned into a crimson flame. "Now that you've had a short break, how about finding your Natsume-nii?" I asked Aoi. She nodded and we began walking around aimlessly.

Soon enough, we found him. He and Ruka were sitting on a bench in from of the Somatic Ability's indoor stage, not the one we were going to use tonight. Natsume had his head in between his head. He groaned. "I can't believe I lost Aoi and Youichi…" he groaned. Ruka was trying to comfort him by saying "Come on, they can't be far… we lost them only about four and a half hours ago…"

I burst out laughing, and they both looked at me. Their eyes widened as they realized who I was an who I was with. "Aoi! Youichi!" Natsume said. "Natsume-nii? Can we please go see the Special Ability's concert tonight? Diamond-nee is going to perform? Pretty please?" she begged. Natsume took one look at her puppy-dog face and caved in. "Sure, fine." He said. "Yay! Diamond-nee, I'll be there!" she told me as I began walking away.

Concert Time!

Amu, Utau, Ikuto, Nagihiko, and I were on stage. The sky was completely dark, adding effects to our performance.

Amu was wearing a red tank top and a pink plaid skirt with red punk style chains as belts. She let her hair down, only to be clipped back with a heart-shaped hairclip. Of course, she was wearing the necklace, which was a heart charm. She was also wearing a bracelet with a heart charm. She was in her Ran Chara Change. She was playing the bass.

Utau was wearing a short red mini-skirt with a single vertical black stripe on each side. Her shirt was red with red with a black ribbon trim. The shirt was sleeveless, and the ribbons trailed down. Her hair was in her traditional two long pigtails. She was also wearing the Chara Necklace we bought her. The charm was a violet music note. She was in her normal state, no Chara Changes. She was also playing the guitar.

Ikuto was wearing a midnight blue t-shirt with a large soft yellow paw-print in the middle. He was wearing midnight blue jeans with a soft yellow belt. He was in his regular state, like Utau, since they were both used to performances. He was playing the violin (A/N~ Not sure where that fits in… but whatever).

Nagihiko was wearing an outfit similar to hid Rhythm Nari, except that the vest was gone. The outfit was also various shades of purple, matching his hair and eyes. He was in Rhythm Chara Change. He was playing the drums.

I was also wearing a skirt. My skirt was soft green and almost went up to my knees. My shirt was elbow-sleeved with darker green ribbons around it. It was also V-necked and the same shade of green as my skirt. My thin belt was dark green with ribbons trailing behind me. My hair wavy. I was playing the bass. I was in my Megumi Chara Change.

Narumi poked his head over the edge of the stage and thumbed-up. That was the signal. The curtains began rising. A single ray of spotlight shone down on me, since I was the leader, something the others had agreed on. I gulped and got started.

"Good evening minna! Have you had a good week?" I shouted into the microphone. They all cheered for me, and I smiled. "I'm Diamond Starlight from the Special Ability Class!" The students who knew me looked shocked, but who could blame them? I don't usually act like this. Natsume, Ruka, and Hotaru (A/N~ Who were with Aoi and Youichi) looked especially shocked. They had suspicions, and I had acted the total opposite of my usual self, like the old Mikan. I winked at them, catching them off guard.

"The one here on my left is Amu Hinamori, also of the Special Ability!" Another ray if light shone down on Amu, and she waved. I looked at Tadase. He was staring at Amu with the same dazed look. I grinned. I am so going to laugh at him after the concert.

"The ones who I am about to introduce do not attend Alice Academy. The girl on my right is Utau Hoshina!" and yet another spotlight turned on.

"The navy haired dude is Ikuto Tsukiyomi and the one at the drums is Nagihiko Fujisaki!" Two more spotlights turned on. Once the audience got full view of all of us, they began to swoon. "The first song we will be singing is The One That Got Away!"

The One That Got Away By Katy Perry

Summer after high school when we first met
We made out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday
We got matching tattoos

Used to steal your parents' liquor
And climb to the roof
Talk about our future
Like we had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you

In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away

I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on (Whoa)

Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the Blues
It's time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse

But in another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one

[x3]
The one that got away

[Bridge:]
All this money can't buy me a time machine (Nooooo)
Can't replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)
I should've told you what you meant to me (Whoa)
'Cause now I pay the price

In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one

[x3]

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away

"The next song is Just a Dream!"

Just A Dream By Nelly

I was thinking bout her, thinkin bout me
Thinkin bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only Just A Dream
So I travelled back, down that road
Will she come back, no one knows
I realize yeah, it was only Just A Dream

I was at the top and now its like I'm in the basement
Number one spot and now she find her a replacement
I swear now I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby
And now you ain't around baby I can't think
I should've put it down, should've got the ring
Cause I can still feel it in the air
See her pretty face run my fingers through her hair
My lover, my life, my shawty, my wife
She left me, I'm tied
Cause I knew that it just ain't right

When I be ridin' man I swear I see her face at every turn
Tryna get my Usher on but I can't let it Burn
And I just hopes she know that she the only one I yearn for
More and more I miss her, when will I learn
Didn't give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby
Hey, she was so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
I'm going through it everytime that I'm alone
And now I'm missing, wishing she'd pick up the phone
But she made the decision that she wanted to move on
Cause I was wrong

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
And now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
Said if you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
Now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything

[x2]
I was thinking bout her, thinkin bout me
Thinkin bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only Just A Dream
So I travelled back, down that road
Will she come back, no one knows
I realize yeah, it was only Just A Dream

I ended my turn to see the audience awed. "Next up is Amu Hinamori with Stereo Hearts!" then, me and Amu swapped place, with me at the lead.

Stereo Hearts By Gym Class Heroes

My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

If I was just another dusty record on the shelf
Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else?
If I asked you to scratch my back, could you manage that?
Like yea fucked up, check it Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
It's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
I used to, used to, used to, now I'm over that
'Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts

If I could only find a note to make you understand
I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand
Just keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you

[Chorus:]
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh so sing along to my stereo

Let's go!
If I was an old-school fifty pound boombox (remember them?)
Would you hold me on your shoulder wherever you walk
Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops (turn it up)
And crank it higher everytime they told you to stop
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me
When you have to purchase mad D batteries
Appreciate every mixtape your friends make
You never know we come and go like on the interstate

I think I finally found a note to make you understand
If you can hit it, sing along and take me by the hand
Just keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
You know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you

[Chorus:]
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh so sing along to my stereo

[Bridge:]
I only pray you'll never leave me behind (never leave me)
Because good music can be so hard to find (so hard to find)
I take your head and hold it closer to mine (yeah)
Thought love was dead, but now you're changing (yeah) my mind (come on whoa)

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to my stereo (it's your boy Travie)
Oh oh oh oh (Gym Class Heroes baby!) so sing along to my stereo

Yeah

"The next song is Mine." Amu said into the mike.

Mine By Taylor Swift

You were in college working part time waitin' tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin'
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts

I say "Can you believe it?
As we're lying on the couch?"
The moment I can see it.
Yes, yes, I can see it now.

Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time.
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter.
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.

Flash forward and we're taking on the world together,
And there's a drawer of my things at your place.
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded,
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes.

But we got bills to pay,
We got nothing figured out,
When it was hard to take,
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about.

Do you remember, we were sitting there, by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.

Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.

Oh, oh, oh

And I remember that fight
Two-thirty AM
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the "Goodbye"
'cause that's all I've ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said, "I'll never leave you alone."

You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine."

Hold on, make it last
Hold on, never turn back

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
(Hold on) Do you believe it?
(Hold on) Gonna make it now.
(Hold on) I can see it,
(Yes, yes) I can see it now.

The audience thundered its applause while Amu switched places with Utau. "Good evening, I'm Utau Hoshina, and the song I'm singing is You Make Me Feel!"

You Make Me Feel Like By Cobra Starships

[Verse 1]
Girl I've been all over the world
Looking for you
I'm known for taking what I think I deserve
And you're overdue

And if you listen you can hear me through the radio
In that bright white noise
What I been missing in my life
What I been dreaming of
You'll be that girl
You'll be that girl
You'll be

[Sabi]
Everything you want so let me get up there
I'm the baddest baby in the atmosphere
Tell me what you want so we can do just what you like

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Get a little closer to me girl
And you'll understand
'Cause if you want a guy that knows what you need
Well, then I'm your man

And if I listen I can hear you through my radio
In that bright white noise
What I been missing in my life
What I been dreaming of
You'll be that girl
You'll be that girl
You'll be

[Sabi]
Everything you want so let me get up there
I'm the baddest baby in the atmosphere
Tell me what you want so we can do just what you like

Ooh
Everything you know I'm flipping upside down
Take you 'round the world
You know I like it loud
Tell me what you want 'cause we can do just what you like

[Chorus]

"The next and last song we will be singing today will be It Girl!" said Utau.

It Girl By Jason Derulo

I've been looking under rocks and breaking locks
Just tryna find ya
I've been like a maniac insomniac,
5 steps behind ya
Tell them other girls, they can hit the exit
Check please...
Cause I finally found the girl of... my dreams
Much more than a Grammy award,
That's how much you mean to me

[Chorus:]
You could be my it girl
Baby you're the shit girl
Lovin' you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl,
This is it girl
Give me 25 to life
I just wanna rock all night long,
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You're my biggest hit girl

Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like...
Oh oh oh oh

[x2]
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like...
Oh oh oh oh [x2]
Let me play it loud

You can't help but turn them heads
Knockin' them dead
Dropping like flies around you
If I get your body close not letting go
Hoping you're about to
Tell them other guys they can lose your number
You're done!
They don't get another shot cause you're... love drunk!
Like a TV show playing reruns
Every chance I get,
I'm a turn you on

[Chorus:]
You could be my it girl
Baby you're the shit girl
Lovin' you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl
This is it girl
Give me 25 to life
I just wanna rock all-night-long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You're my biggest hit girl

Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like...
Oh oh oh oh

[x2]
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like...
Oh oh oh oh [x2]
Let me play it loud

[Bridge:]
Can't seem to stop you from... running, running
Through my, through my mind, mind
Just keep it coming, coming
Til' I make you mine, mine
You've got that something, something
I wanna be with girl
You're my greatest hit girl
Just say this is it girl...
Hey baby...
Don't you know you're my it girl

[Chorus:]
You could be my it girl
Baby you're the shit girl
Lovin' you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl
This is it girl,
Give me 25 to life
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You're my biggest hit girl

Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like...
Oh oh oh oh

[x2]
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like...
Oh oh oh oh [x2]
Let me play it loud

Let me hear you singing like...
Oh oh oh oh

[x2]
Everybody in the crowd
Let me hear you singing like
This is it girl.

By the time Utau finished, the crowd was wild. We switched up again, me at the lead. "How did you like it?" I asked the audience. The audience shouted assent. "Good night, we hope to see you again!" I shouted as the curtains closed. We all sighed as we walked backstage. I'm going to have a big break when we get back to the dorms.

Bye! See you next Chapter!
