The next day, the VOEZ band gathered in the cafe, way before Chelsea woke up. Lance had just reported the previous day events to Yuko, who was currently pondering why Chelsea would sing such a song.
"I mean, why would Yuko sing such a song? She's perfectly happy, and she's definitely not in love!" Yuko yelled.
Lance cringed. "Why am I the one getting yelled at?" he asked. "I don't know much, I just reported all I knew to you!"
Nan chirped, sensing the dangerous mood. The little bird was eating breakfast, which just so happened to be Lance's muffin. Lance sighed, and gave up on keeping his muffin. He fed the little bird pieces of the muffin one by one.
Suddenly, Jessy said,"Guys, you might want to check Qian Qian's theories…"
Everyone facepalmed. It was just like Qian Qian to do something like this. In such a situation, Qian Qian would pull out her notebook, and start writing 5 billon ideas down as to why something was happening.
Yuko sighed. "Qian Qian, let me see your theories. Maybe they'll come of help."
Qian Qian looked up with a mysterious glint in her eyes as she handed over her notebook. "So, I'm going to guess, Chelsea's previous love came back, and she's pondering what to do! Or maybe she's longing or missing for someone!" she explained
Everyone facepalmed and groaned again. Lance sighed, and deciding they could ask Chelsea themselves, poked Nan to go wake up Chelsea. 5 seconds later, after Nan had flew up the stairs, everyone heard a loud yell, proof that Chelsea was awake.
Ocean looked shocked. "Isn't that a cruel way to wake Chelsea up?" he asked.
Lance put his hands up innocently. "The sleepyhead can't even wake up to alarms! I consulted Nan, and came up with this brilliant idea."
Ocean sighed. "That's really cruel…." he said.
Jessy asked,"What about the phone call? What are we going to do with that mysterious caller?"
Yuko replied,"I had a cell phone company track the call, but the SIM card on the other end was destroyed. The culprits are pretty clever."
"Hmm…. Did they completely delete the data or did they trash it?" If they erased the data and the SIM card is still intact, there's a small chance I can recover it." Qian Qian said.
"Guys?" a sleepy voice from upstairs drifted down. "What's going on?" Chelsea asked, still in her pjs.
"Good timing, Chelsea, get down here!" Yuko smiled. Behind that smile, a sinister Yuko was hiding.
Chelsea happily bounced downstairs, and grabbed a freshly baked muffin. With a muffled voice, she asked,"What's going on?"
Yuko said,"We need to discuss the mysterious phone call, and why you were at ChuChu lighthouse yesterday."
Chelsea gulped. "I-I was chasing Nan! T-That's all! Anyway, what's all this about a mysterious call?" she stuttered
Yuko sighed. "You're obviously lying. Don't change the topic, we'll get to that later. Now, tell me. Why were you crying?" she asked.
"I-I wasn't crying! I was just practicing singing! I wanted to win a competition, but I failed auditions! Satisfied?" Chelsea lied.
Everyone stared at her. When had she taken a audition? What sort of competition would deny her singing talent?
Qian Qian hugged Chelsea. "It's ok… the people who eliminated you didn't see your real talent." she said.
Chelsea thought to herself, "Thank god they believed that lie. I can't even begin to explain what happened!"
Yuko sighed. "Guys, we really need to do something about the caller. I mean, they threatened us. Threatened us." she said.
Ocean laughed nervously. "Ok girl, calm down. We get it, let's see if Ocean can track the data. Lance, go explain to your oblivious sister what happened with the call." he ordered.
Lance sighed. 'It's like I'm the errand boy around here…" he groaned.
The VOEZ team split up into 3 smaller groups. Lance took Chelsea to the back of the cafe and explained what happened with the caller. Jessy took Ocean to his store to track the SIM card. Yuko and Qian Qian researched who Deemo and Cytus were. An hour later, the group met up together at the cafe.
Jessy reported,'We got a faint signal from the SIM card. It keeps on blinking on and off near a certain area that Cytus and Deemo work in. They could be working together to get rid of us."
"According to Wiki, Deemo is a pair of siblings that rule the classical world, and have pulled off heartbreaking and beautiful songs. Cytus is a rock band, and plays, um, how should I say it? Louder songs than us." Yuko reported.
"Why is Mr. Caller threatening us?" Chelsea asked.
Everyone facepalmed again. Chelsea was always too innocent and oblivious. She could never pick up on the mood or what was going on. Thankfully, her brother or the groups would always be around to fully explain what had happened.
Yuko asked,"Lance, did you not explain to this child what happened? Or has she just gotten dumber?"
Lance protested,"I did! I mean, I told her about the call, I just figured she would be able to figure out that we were being threatened!"
Ocean sighed. "Guys, we need to focus. Stop arguing, and give us more details on Cytus and Deemo, Yuko." he said. Being the oldest, Ocean always had to stop the multiple arguments going on.
"Let's see... " Yuko said. "Cytus had a former member that quit. According to the wiki, the former member was very mysterious, and quit around the time we formed our band. The person's stage name wasLittle ChuChu.
-X-
Let's see….. What happened to Chelsea? Who's Little Chu Chu? I think this is a bit longer to make up for the time I haven't updated anything. I'm going to go back to writing oneshots for SAO for a while, so VOEZ might not get updated.
