Chapter 15

The next day after the interview STARISH and Quartet-Night were watching the Interview with Ai and Syo on television when they walked into the room. Syo on T.V "W-we're not in that stage of intimacy!" Ai, "You're watching the interview?" Ranmaru had a bloody nose, "You two sure know how to draw in the cute factor." Natsuki, "That was so cute!" Reiji, "You were so honest in the interview." Syo, "Why not be tell the truth." Ranmaru, "Well the little love couple has to be separated for a few days we have the new song to write remember." Syo, "I know, good luck Ai, and to the rest of you. And good luck composing the song Haruka." Quartet-Night and Haruka nodded and Ai gave Syo a hug before leaving.

It was now late afternoon and they were sitting in a mansion a little off from the dorms. Ranmaru and Camus sitting next to each other, Ai and Haruka sitting in the middle and across from each other and Reiji sitting across form Ranmaru and Camus. Ai, "You're not usually so quiet, Reiji." Ranmaru, "Hey, Reiji." Camus, "Are you listening?" Reiji looked up and smiled, "When I realized this day had finally come, I was just so happy!" Ranmaru, "You're overexcited." Ai, "He's right. We haven't done anything yet." Camus, "Let's get started." Reiji, "Roger that!" Ai looked at Haruka, "So what are we going to do? We're approaching the song differently this time, right?" Haruka, "Um... what does that mean?" Reiji, "Normally, we don't get involved in songwriting." Haruka, "What?" Ai, "We just sing the songs submitted by the composer." Camus, "Yeah. After all, I can sing anything." Ranmaru, "You're not the only one." Ai, "We're professionals. It's part of the job." Haruka, "But I talked to all of you when I wrote your solo songs." Reiji, "That's right. That's why we're here." Ai, "Since it went so well, we thought we'd try it again." Ranmaru, "yeah." Reiji, "You're right." Haruka, "Let's do our best together!" Ranmaru, "Well, considering the screening format, we should do a powerful and passionate song." Camus, "You're as simplistic as ever." Ranmaru, "Huh? What's that mean?" Camus, "If you want to make an impact, we should do a grand and magnificent song." Ranmaru, "Nothing's more powerful than rock." Camus, "Nonsense. This is why we don't get along." Ranmaru, "What did you say?" Ai, "The screening is a concert. If we want to generate excitement, we should do a faster song with at least 120 BPM. An up-tempo dance song." Reiji, "You're right. But it's difficult to balance. " Ai, "Of course. But the same is true of magnificent and rock songs." Reiji, "Then I think we should do a song that makes listeners happy." Ranmaru, "Happy?" Ai, "That's too abstract, we don't know how your defining happiness." Reiji, "Happiness… It exists inside the hearts of those who listen to our song." Ranmaru, "What?" Reiji, "Huh? What do you think, kiddo?" The conversation turned from between Quartet-Night members to Haruka. Haruka, "What? The president told me to write a number one song that would make you shine." Ai, "A number one song…" Ranmaru, "…that makes us…" Camus, "…shine?" Reiji, "Let's take a break." Ranmaru got up. Reiji, "Huh, where are you going?" Ranmaru, "I'm hungry. I'm going to eat." Ranmaru walked into the kitchen and started cooking dinner. Reiji, "You're so good with your hands." Ranmaru, "You're in the way." Reiji, "Boo Ai says the same thing." One Ranmaru was finished, "Its so good!" Ai, "You're right." Ranmaru, "Yeah." Haruka, "It's delicious!" Reiji, "We have two amazing cooks in the band!" Ai and Ranmaru turned to Reiji and told him to shut up and eat.

After dinner Ai, "Camus You're in a good mood today." Reiji, "Seriously. That was finger-licking good." Ai, "Finger-licking good? I've learned that term, but I've never heard anyone use it before." Ranmaru, "That's because no one says that anymore." Camus, "Yeah." Reiji jumped in shock, "What? That's not true! All the young people are saying it! Sheesh. Your guys are missing out!" Reiji continued to argue with the group and Haruka walked out onto the balcony to work on the composition.

Ai, "There you are." Haruka, "What? Mikaze-Senpai." Ai had her hand on the table and was looking at Haruka's composition. Ai, "Are you done with the song?" Haruka, "No, but I'm almost finished. Since you're all singing this song, I wanted to combine all your personalities." Ai, "Combine all of us?" Haruka, "Yes." Ai, "But we're nothing alike. We've always been this way." Ai thought of saying especially me but she didn't say it. Haruka, "Are you sure?" Haruka, "Since the day you met, you've been creating beautiful harmonies. You and Syo are opposite and yet you've already created so many beautiful memories together." Ai, "Really?" Haruka, "Yes. So let's write something that embodies all of you." Ai, "That's the value of being with someone." Haruka, "Yes." Ai looked up at the night Sky. "It doesn't look like rain tonight." Ai promised that she would look up at the Stars and Syo would do the same thing knowing they were looking up at the same sky made it seem like they weren't far away from each other anymore. Haruka, "Ai you miss Syo already don't you?" Ai, "How could you tell?" Haruka, "Well you've always been together for months now and since you started dating you two haven't really been apart from each other long." Ai, "Huh, I guess I really miss him." Haruka noticed something in Ai's eyes as he was looking up. Haruka, "Ai is there something you're not telling everyone?" Ai, "Yeah, but its nothing." Haruka, "What is it?" Ai, "When I was younger I almost drowned because of my brother, he committed suicide I was only 7 years old, and I hadn't learned how to swim yet. After that I've always been afraid of water. Even though we've done videos and pictures by water, Reiji has always had to help me. But the other day, when Syo took me swimming and taught me to float and backstroke, for the first time I wasn't as afraid of water as I had been. Does that make since?" Haruka smiled, "Mikaze-senpai I'm so sorry to hear that, but the reason you weren't scared with Syo was probably because you trust him." Ai, "Trust?" Haruka, "I've noticed you haven't trusted people much except for Syo-kun and Reiji-senpai." Ai, "I guess your right. Thanks for listening to me talk Haruka." Haruka, "No problem Mikaze-senpai, if you ever need to talk about stuff I'll listen if Syo's not around." Ai smiled and walked away leaving Haruka alone on the balcony.

Haruka was playing the piano after she finished composing the song. Even though everyone was in their rooms they could hear it and it immediately caught their attention. Reiji, Camus, Ranmaru and Ai gathered in the courtyard. Reiji, "That song was amazing." Ai, "Yeah. Just form listening, I knew who would sing which parts." Ranmaru, "That's not all." Camus, "Yeah. That song is us." Reiji, "We're Quartet-Night. We didn't give it much thought when Shining-san had us join. But now we want to work together, right?" Ranmaru, "What do we do now?" Camus, "Write the lyrics." Ai, "Since we're performing at a concert, we should decide how we're singing it." Reiji, "Good idea. Then why don't we start with the chorus?" Ai, "The chorus?" Reiji, "Yeah. Instead of singing separately, we'll all start singing together." Camus, "Should we try an acapella?" Ranmaru, "How about adding voices to a solo?" Ai, "Then the choreography should start with a strong first step." Camus, "In that case…" Reiji, "Then…" Ai, "Yeah." Ranmaru, "It'll work."

They walked into the room where Haruka was playing the piano. Ranmaru, "This song's concept is a passion we can share." Ai, "A song we play because we're together." Camus, "With utmost sincerity, we'll show you an endless panorama from great heights." Reiji, "The five of us should write it together. My girl Quartet-Night couldn't exist without you."

Haruka sat at the piano as they sang the intro before the music began to play.

All: May our voices resonate with the wind

Reach even greater heights

Turning this promised dream into a song

Let's achieve a miracle

Reiji: I met my true self

Ai: Thank you for being by my side

All: Though we can hardly call each other friends

Something passionately binds us together

We don't need words. We just need music

May our dreams come true

A starting legend and shining history

Hear it roar

Everyone, "We can do even better." Ranmaru, "Ai, you reached a really high pitch." Ai, "I did didn't I?" Reiji, "That was surprising Ai." Camus, "you were dedicated into your music so much that you were able to achieve higher notes." Ai, "I didn't even notice." Ranmaru, "Those notes are impressive Ai." Reiji, "lets try re-arranging the song to be able to accommodate to Ai's ability to reach higher notes and so we can show more passion and dedication to it." Everyone agreed.

Everyone got in position again and got ready to practice.

All: May our voices resonating with the wind

Reach even grater heights

Turning this promised dream into a song

Let's achieve a miracle

[Evolution forever, evolution forever Quartet-Night]

Only one resonating charisma

Ranmaru & Camus: Make sparks fly

All: Our Pride

Ai: A revolution isn't enough

Reiji: The ones chasing after us show no mercy

All: The impulse never ends

Answer is the "Evolution"

All: If we look up at dreams alone

We can't become stronger

This price I paid is earnest for you

Surpass Revolution

All: These bonds that turn the world into song

This is an evolution

[Evolution forever Quartet-Night]

Reiji, "That was awesome!" Ranmaru, "I think we found our new number one hit" Camus, "I agree." Ai nodded her head. Haruka got up and went over to Ai. Haruka, "Ai can you open your mouth for a second." Ai, "Sure?" She opened her mouth wide for Haruka. Haruka, "Your not straining your voice to reach those high notes are you, they don't look red." Ai, "I don't know, this has never happened before." Camus, "Well there are girls that can hit base notes, so Ai's special, he can hit soprano or Alto in girls!" Ai, "I'd rather not talk about that." Ranmaru, "It's because he's in love that's why." Ai, "Shut up!" Camus, "Your probably missing Syo right now aren't you?" Ai pouted, "Maybe." Reiji, "Awe!" Ai did miss Syo a lot, she wished he was there to see the song they just came up with. Ai went to her room and sent Syo a text, "I miss you, see you tomorrow." Syo responded, "Miss you to Ai, I'll be the first person you see when you get back to the dorms. Get some rest, goodnight Ai." Ai sent back "Goodnight. Syo." Before she climbed into bed and went to sleep dreaming of Syo.

Well that's the end of this chapter; Syo and Ai were separated because they had to right a song, based of Season 2 episode 10 and 11. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. The next one Ai and Syo will be together again! Until the next chapter, Farewell!
