Finished chapter 1 five minutes ago and started writing this right away, cuz why the fuck not? Only reason this is so long is because of the three song lyric segments. You can skip them if you want, or bother finding the songs. Good luck finding Quartet Night. I'd say, if you do bother finding it, listen to the female version.
"I guess the first to go will be QUARTET NIGHT! Let's give them a couple of minutes to decide on a song!" I called.
"That won't be necessary," Camus answered.
"We already know what song we want to sing," Ai continued.
"We kinda guessed you would call us down," Ranmaru kept going.
"So we already picked a song!" Reiji finished.
"Kinda creepy how you said that like that, but, aw screw it. Now, what song did you fools decide on?"
"We decided to go with our first, QUARTET NIGHT!" Reiji said excitedly, purposefully ignoring the playful insults I threw in, getting Camus and Ranmaru to do the same.
"Okay then, STARISH, let's clear the stage and let QUARTET NIGHT do their thing!" I said before walking back to where I was off stage, STARISH following me. I turned off my mic and turned to them, saying "I'll tell you about this later, so don't ask me now. Just listen."
They didn't say a thing, just nodded their heads and watched as the music started and QUARTET NIGHT began singing.
I hope they aren't too mad at me, I thought to myself.

The crowd broke into a large round of applause accompanied by screaming girls. I walked back on stage with STARISH following me.
"Nicely done boys. But I think I can do better." I said teasingly.
"Who are you calling 'boys'? You're younger than us," Ranmaru replied.
"You really think I care?"
"Ran-Ran, you of all people should know he doesn't really care." Reiji said.
"Let's just get back on task. We don't want to take up too much of the dolls' time, right? Now, Who should go next, me or STARISH?"
"Oh, oh, can we go?" Shinomiya-san asked excitedly.
"How about it, dolls?" I asked the crowd, who responded with loud shrieks and screams for them to go.
"Then it's settled. STARISH is going next. Now, what song are you going to sing?"
"Were going back," Jinguji-san started.
"To where this all started," Shinomiya-san continued.
"With our first song," Tokiya went on.
"Composed by him," Masato this time.
"When he was still disguised as Nanami Haruka," Syo continued.
"Maji Love 1000%!" Ittoki-kun finished.
"Okay then, yet again creepy with the finishing each other's sentences, but yet again, screw it! QUARTET NIGHT, let us clear the stage," I said and walked off stage, resisting the strong urge to grab their collars and drag them off stage. Just like with STARISH, I told them not to ask, and that I would explain it later. This time, the smile and replied with their own versions of an enthusiastic 'okay'. The music started and STARISH started singing.

The song ended and QUARTET NIGHT and I filed back on stage as another round of clapping hands and screaming girls rang throughout the concert venue.
"Another song well sung. So, dolls, who is your favorite so far?" I asked and was accompanied by a mixed chorus of screaming STARISH and QUARTET NIGHT.
"Don't get ahead of yourselves and vote right now dolls, I still need to sing my song. It seems we have a theme of singing our debut songs, so I"ll sing my debut song, Strike Back! Now, STARISH, QUARTET NIGHT, shoo! It's my turn!" Both groups grinned at me, Reiji stifling a laugh as I flapped my hand at them in an impatient gesture, and filed off stage. The music started and I began my song.
(STRIKE BACK)

So take my hands!
I finished my song and was surrounded by the normal shrieking and clapping as the other guys filed back on stage. We stood in our respective groups(or for me, on my own) on stage while the lights dimmed and three spotlights were put onto our groups.
"Okay! Now that you've all heard our songs, grab your phones, computers, tablets, anything that can get to the internet and find the online voting system and vote for your favorite! The counters will be displayed on the screens behind us. Only one vote per device, so choose wisely! You have 10 minutes before the winner announced. Remember, worst thing that could happen is Shining getting angry at me for disappearing and coming back in a disguise without telling him and firing me on the spot."
The building was almost silent as everyone was pulling out every electronic device they had that could connect to the internet so they could vote. The entire auditorium was surprisingly quiet for the next few minutes, only being broken by the occasional asking who picked who.
When the ten minutes were up, the polls were closed and the last few votes were tallied up on the screens. After a few, tense, seconds, the numbers stopped moving. The screen changed showing the winner and who came in second and last place. My face broke into a big grin as everyone looked at the results. QUARTET NIGHT came in third, STARISH in second and I came in first, though not by much. We were all within 20 votes of each other.
"Minna-san, arigatou! I'm glad you liked my song the best! And thank you for letting me take up some of your precious time tonight. Bye for now and see you next time!" I said to the crowd.
We all left the stage and returned to STARISH's dressing room. I told them I would talk about this in the morning, as it was almost 1 in the morning and I barely slept the night before. The return to the dorms was silent and extremely uncomfortable, but I didn't really notice, as I fell asleep the minute we got into the limo.
And he is tired. Hope you can sleep in a limo full of these guys, though probably not. Just don't beat the shit out of anybody, alright?(Sneaky foreshadowing since I already wrote chapter 3)
