At dawn Taiki and Yaten stood ready to go. Both were in their uniforms and were standing some distance apart from each other. Yaten was playing with her hair and Taiki was pacing slowly in a line.

"What part of dawn does Seiya not understand?" Muttered Yaten irritably.

Taiki stopped pacing and looked squinting towards the castle. "He is coming now and bringing the Princess with him."

Yaten looked in the same direction as his brother, "He isn't even transformed yet!"

"His transforming will not interfere with our departure," Said Taiki reasonably, looking at the small Starlight. "Yaten are you all right?"

"It's early, and you know how I feel about waking up early."

"Yes, I know. But you seem anxious. You don't normally fidget, but you can't seem to sit still this morning."

"You're one to talk! You have been pacing back and forth this entire time! I'm surprised you haven't left a groove in the ground!"

Taiki stopped pacing, "I suppose I am nervous and eager to be received well by the Senshi. I am also concerned for their safety. While I will never love Earth like I care for Kinmoku, I do care about its' guardians." He looked back towards the palace. Seiya and Kakyuu were nearly with them and seemed to be happily communicating.

"Did you ask him?"

"Yes, and he says he doesn't know."

"What will we do if one of our own causes our Princess grief?" Taiki muttered aloud.

"I don't know," replied Yaten.

Seiya and Kakyuu joined them soon with smiles on their faces. Seiya quickly transformed and soon the four of them were standing in a circle holding hands. With a glow they disappeared into the sky as streaks of light in the dawn.

5..6..7..8..

"Step, step, twirl, JUMP!- STOP! Stop, Stop, Stop!" Yelled the Choreographer. "When I say 'Jump' you JUMP! Take a break!"

Minako grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat from her forehead. This day could not get any worse. Tonight was supposed to be her first live concert and yet with the way things were going, it didn't seem like it was going to happen. Two of her main back up dancers were in the hospital: one with a broken leg and the other with an early bout of flu. When she had arrived for rehearsal, she found that half the stage was missing and that if it were to arrive today it wouldn't be here until about an hour before the show, leaving out the ability of a proper rehearsal on it! Then they had to quickly move around all of the dancers places to account for the two missing and to top it off Kohaku, the choreographer, appeared to just be in a bad mood.

Sighing, Mina flopped down into her chair and checked her phone. She was in the middle of taking a drink of water when she saw a cryptic text from Rei that said they needed four more tickets for the show tonight. Mina was about to ask why, but Kohaku was already calling them back to continue the practice, so instead she texted her that she would get them.

Four more tickets? Why does she need four more tickets?

"I can't believe you are here! I know I have been looking at you for over an hour, but it just doesn't seem real!" Squealed Usagi. She looked happily at the Starlights and Kakyuu as she pulled her milkshake toward her.

"Yes, Odango, and we are going to be here for awhile. Maybe even long enough to watch you walk down the aisle with that Prince you were always on about," Said Seiya laughing. Usagi blushed.

They were all crammed into a small circular booth; Ami at one end, beside her Rei, then Usagi, Makoto, Seiya, Kakyuu, Yaten, and Taiki.

"What did Mina-chan say, Rei?" Ami asked

"She texted back that she would get them, but today is going completely off track. I called her this morning and she said that two dancers were out, half the stage was missing, all the choreography had to be reworked and they wouldn't be able to fully rehearse because the rest of the stage won't be there until an hour before the show. It's one hell of a way to start off a concert." Rei said as she put her phone back in her purse. "But, as one of her collaborating song writers, I can get us in to the concert early. If you guys are up for it," she said, now looking at the Starlights and Kakyuu, "we could go early and watch the end of her rehearsal. I'm sure seeing you guys would cheer her up after the day she has had."

Kakyuu smiled, "That sounds delightful! Though first we really should figure out where we are staying." She looked at the Starlights.

"Well you can stay with Minako and I if you like," offered Ami. "Minako and live in a pretty big place-"

"Their place is huge," said Rei with an eye roll.

"-and we have enough spare bedrooms that you could each have your own space." Ami finished as if Rei hadn't interrupted.

"That would be great," said Seiya, looking slyly at his brothers. Taiki had a great poker face, but Yaten had clearly sat up straighter at the news that they would be staying with Ami and Mina.

"Thank you very much, Ami," said Kakyuu. Taiki and Yaten both thanked her as well.

"Now, lets go surprise our big idol," Said Rei. They all stood up and proceeded towards the door.

In next to no time, they were at the concert grounds. It was a large stadium, with many seats. Huge pictures of Mina were everywhere advertising the concert. Smaller stickers had been placed on them saying that the show was sold out.

"She must have really taken off," Murmured Yaten staring at one of the posters.

"Yes, her music is amazing," Said Rei proudly, "Come on, I can see them down there."

They all followed after Rei, who led them almost all the way down to the field. Minako could be seen very clearly leading a group of dancers through a number. She was wearing a loose fitting grey shirt that slipped off of one shoulder, and a pair of orange tights. Her hair was in a long braid that went straight down her back, but a few strands had worked loose, making her sweaty appearance look quite stunning. Unless they had known about the mishap with the choreography, they would never have guessed that they had relearned much of it that afternoon. The group moved flawlessly together, like the cogs of a well-oiled machine. The dance was beautiful and the emotion was conveyed perfectly. They couldn't hear the music very well, but when the song ended they heard a man yelling happily that it hadn't been the worst dance he had ever seen.

Rei went down on the field and waved at Mina to get her attention. In a moment, Mina was jogging over towards her.

"So what did you need four extra tickets for? I can tell you my manager wasn't pleased, but she worked it out."

"You will never guess who showed up on Earth today," Said Rei with a sly smile.

Mina's heart skipped a beat. "Who?"

"The Starlights"
