"LATE! LATE! LAAAAAAAAAAAATE!"

Another day, another morning of sleeping in, another screaming all-around in the house as Kyoko attempted to get ready within five minutes.

Halfway through struggling on her jacket while her toothbrush hung from her mouth, her cell phone rang. She blinked, and the toothbrush fell from her mouth into the sink. With only one sleeve of her jacket on, she answered it while yanking on her socks.

"Moshi moshi?"

"Mogami-san?"

Kyoko paused, holding the phone away so that the spitting out of the toothpaste in her mouth would not be heard. She dragged the back of her hand across her mouth, settling the phone between her ear and shoulder while she finished putting on her jacket.

"Tsuruga-san?"

"Yes..."

"Oh, I'm sorry I'm late! Please don't be angry! I'll, I'll bike really fast and I'll get there on time! I promise! Please, please, please don't be angr-"

"Mogami-san," Ren interrupted calmly. "You're not late. The meeting today was canceled."

Kyoko blinked, sitting back on her bed. "... What?"

"That's what I said," he replied, the slightest hint of puzzlement sneaking into his tone. "Ogata-san says there's been a major problem with the script, so until they can figure things out all meetings are canceled."

"But... why didn't Ogata-san-"

"He couldn't find your number, apparently. So he asked me to call you."

"Oh... well... Thank you, Tsuruga-san."

"You're welcome, Mogami-san. If I recall correctly, you have to shoot some of Box R today, don't you?"

Kyoko nodded sullenly, forgetting that he couldn't see her. "Yes."

Ren didn't miss the soberness in her tone and came to the conclusion that she was disappointed that the meetings were temporarily canceled. "Mogami-san, you're still new to the acting world. It's better if you don't try to pile on too much work in the beginning, anyway."

She bit her lip. Was he scolding her for her childish behavior? She couldn't let Tsuruga-san down! "Yes, Tsuruga-san!" she replied, sitting up ruler-straight.

Ren could feel sweat gathering on his forehead. If nothing else, she at least took him seriously. "Until next time, then."

"All right. Thank you for letting me know. Goodbye, Tsuruga-san."

"Goodbye, Mogami-san."

Ren hung up and allowed himself to sigh a little. It was good that she took acting so seriously, and perhaps also that she took him seriously- him being her sempai, and all- but she could loosen up a bit, couldn't she?

Then again, he mused, her enthusiasm was a part of her. And honestly, he wouldn't change a thing.

Sho smirked in self-satisfaction. Shoko had followed through and now the script was going to be changed. In the meantime, all production was halted.

Just the way he liked it; everything revolved around him. They couldn't do anything until he decided the storyline was acceptable.

It was just what he needed, to put that damn Tsuruga in his place.

He looked up at a knock. "Come in."

Shoko stepped in, closing the door behind her. "Sho, I have the list of the actors you'll be working with."

"Let me see it." He took the paper from her and scanned it. It was alphabetical, so Tsuruga was near the end, with the other T-names. He bypassed that without a second glance and trailed down, recognizing a few others. There was the actor whom he was replacing...

Suddenly, a name near the middle caught his eye.

"What the hell is this?!" he exclaimed. Shoko jumped slightly at the noise.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Why didn't you tell me Kyoko was in this movie?!" Sho all but shrieked.

"I didn't know!" she replied defensively.

"What kind of manager are you? Acting with that damn Tsuruga is one thing, but Kyoko?!"

Shoko crossed her arms stubbornly. "Sho, if you want to gather more fans you have to do more than singing. Which means you have to act. And when you're acting, sometimes you have to put up with people you don't want to! That's just how things are."

"They're that way in singing, too," he argued.

"Well then, you should be well-acquainted with the idea. You accepted the job, you threatened to sue unless the script was changed; now you're going to act in this movie!" Shoko growled, towering over him and glaring intimidatingly.

Sho sank back into his chair, slightly terrified of his manager at the moment. When it seemed that she decided she'd gotten her point across and backed down, he slouched even more.

"This sucks," he muttered.

Song: Disturbia, by Rihanna.

I'm trying to keep everyone in character. I haven't had a good dose of Skip Beat! in a while so I think I'll go check Mangafox after this and see if there are any updates.

And I have no idea if you can change the script, cancel shooting sessions, and get lists of your co-actors, but for this fanfiction I honestly don't care. I play the fiction card. Muahahahaha.

I wonder if any of you guys get my scene-breaks today. I think they're funny, but I dunno if anyone else does... If anyone else even gets it... But yeah. Thanks to my friend whose DeviantArt signature gave me the idea! :D

And I'm sorry if it's short.

By the way, in case no one understands how my twisted mind came up with Co-Kyoko (in the chapter title), well, Kyoko's his co-actor. Right?

Eh heh, ^-^".

Okay, so that's it for now. Hope you guys like the update!

Subaki-Chan out.
