Normal POV:
"What do you mean?!" Dan cried out.
"If I recall, you're childhood friend is also named Mitsuki?" Keith asked.
"But if that's true…why didn't she recognize you?"Ren asked.
"Shouldn't she have known you?" Fabia asked, confused.
"Yeah…"Shun muttered.
"So why don't we see her and ask for the truth?" Alice suggested. "She was also my childhood friend after all."
"Wait. What if she has good reason to hide her identity?" Mira asked.
"I have an idea!" Julie said. "Why don't we ask her parents?"
"That's great but we don't even know their phone number." Jake said.
"And we lost contact with them for so long…" Dan said.
"In that case, why don't we ask her to join us here and ask?" Ace suggested.
"You guys are forgetting something." Klaus said.
"We don't even know their phone number. How are we going to contact them? Joe asked.
"That's easy, cuz we could call her manager." Chan said.
"Manager?" The guys asked altogether.
"She's an idol. Of course she has a manager to tell her about her schedule." Fabia said.
Runo whipped out her phone and dialed a number. She put it on speakerphone so everyone could hear.
"Hello? Starry Star Company. Ayumi Fujimoto speaking. May I ask who this is?" A woman's voice said.
"Uh, hello. I'm Runo. Are you Miku's manager?" Runo asked.
"Yes. Is this about business? If so, I'm sorry to say Miku's schedule is booked. And next week is her day off." She apologized.
"Uh, no! I was hoping you could give me Miku's phone number. We would like to speak to her in person."
Ayumi's voice became stern.
"If you are the ones who have been threatening Miku and abusing her, I have no reason to give you her phone number."
"Threatening? Abusing? What do you mean?"
"Who are you?"
"Uh…Well, I met Miku before and her childhood friends would like to speak with her. That's all! We don't mean any harm…"
Ayumi's voice softened.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! You see, Miku has been dealing with a lot of pressure lately. I'm sorry for my rudeness earlier."
"Uh, it's ok. But is Miku okay?"
"Yes. Although she is overworking herself too much. That's why we want her to have at least a day off or she might collapse. I hope her childhood friends could help her somehow. Her phone number is 949-321-654." (Complete random.)
"Thank you!"
"No problem."
Ayumi hanged up the phone.
"What do you think she meant by threatening and abusing?" Marucho asked.
"Who knows. Well, let's call her!" Julie said cheerfully.
"Dan, you do the phone calling this time." Runo said.
"Ok…"
He took out his phone and dialed Miku's number.
It took a few rings until someone answered.
"Hello?"
"Uhh…Isn't this Miku's phone number?"
"Yes, it is. Although she's busy at the moment. Who are you?"
"My name's Dan. I need to speak with Miku."
"Uh, well, she's having a recording test right now so it might be difficult. I'll tell her that you called and she'll call you back immediately."
"Sure! Thanks."
"Bye."
"So what did she say?" Mira asked.
"She's having a recording test right now." Dan said as he put her number in his contacts. "The person who answered her phone said that he'll let her know and she'll call back immediately."
"So we can't find out?" Fabia asked.
"It doesn't seem like we'll be getting answers now." Keith said.
"I wonder if there is any reason that she became an idol?" Gus said.
"Well, on TV, she says that she wanted everyone to be happy and hear her songs." Alice said.
"Then what's this about her being threatened and abused?" Klaus asked.
No one had the answer to his question.
"Hey Dan, why don't you call their parents? Your parents know her, right? Why not ask?" Mira asked.
"Hey! You're right!" Dan said.
He dialed his parents phone number and put it on speakerphone so everyone could hear.
"Dan?" His mother's voice asked through the phone after a few rings.
"Mom? I have a question about Mitsuki."
"Sure. What about her?"
"Well, do you know her parent's phone number? Or have you been in contact with them?" Runo asked.
"Umm, you didn't hear about it?"
"Hear about what?"
"You see…"
