“MG WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!” Sarah yelled as she jumped on the bed.
“What?!?!” MG whined as she threw a pillow at Sarah. Sarah caught it and hit her with it as she said, “It’s time to get ready for the Guren Mirror concert!!!! I wann”a make it in time to be in the first 5 rows!!!!” She continued to hit MG with the pillow.
“Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok I’m up, geez!!!” MG said as she rolled out of bed and into the bathroom to take a shower.
The girls ate lunch and headed out the door for the concert.

At the show behind stage, Akira couldn’t stop peeking out into the crowd coming in.
“What are you doing Akira,” Kin asked.
“What huh?” Akira turned around quickly, “Nothing.”
“You’ve been looking out there every 2 minutes, are you waiting for.. someone?” Kin asked, confused.
“Oh no,” Akira chuckled, “Just a little nervous.”
“That’s weird. You’re never nervous!” Kin responds.
“Yeah well…I don’t know,” Akira tried to laugh it off.
“It’s probably just because we haven’t played the U.S. in a while, you’ll be fine Akira they love us here,” Raidon replied after over hearing the conversation, “Just don’t think about it too much man,” Raidon said smiling and patted Akira on the back.
Akira looked out one last time and saw them, they got the third row. He smiled and said, “Thanks guys, you’re right, lets rock!”
“That’s more like it!!!!” Raidon replied as they gave each other a hard high five and locked hands.

“I cant believe we got the third row!!!” Sarah yelled at MG excitedly as Guren Mirror walked onto the stage and started simple with Sarah’s favorite song, Cassis.
Akira closely watched Sarah as she moved beautifully to the music he played. Hoping that yesterday wasn’t just all in their head Sarah is sure to keep locking her eyes with Akira’s, almost positive he’s doing the same with her.
At the end of the show the band did a signing. The girls thought this was the luckiest week of their lives as they are the last people allowed to get a signing from the band.
MG walked over to Raidon while Sarah focused only on Akira. She walked over and handed him a poster. They both were blushing extremely bad.
‘I have an idea,’ Akira thought to himself as he went to sign her poster. He signed it and grabbed her hand the same way Kio grabbed MG’s, their hands slowly slippedapart as Sarah is forced to leave.

Outside on the way to the car, Sarah looked at the poster and stoppeddead in the middle of the parking lot. MG took a few steps ahead before she realized that Sarah was no longer next to her. She stopped, turned around and walked back to Sarah saying, “What is it?”
“I TOLD YOU OMG I TOLD YOU!!!!” Sarah yells as she jumps up and down and presses the poster to her chest. “TOLD ME WHAT?!?!” MG yells and Sarah hands her the poster.
MG sees Akira’s signature and a small note under that reads ‘What’s your biggest fantasy?’ with a little heart. MG’s eyes widen but all she could say was, “Oh my god,” before they grabbed each others arms and screamed in happiness. They got into the car and drove home.

“Omg, omg, omg can you believe this?!?! MG CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!” Sarah said, excited as ever.
MG said nothing, she just kept biting her lip and kept her eyes on the road.
“MG AREN’T YOU EXCITED?!?!?” Sarah loudly said toward MG.
MG looked over at her just as they hit a stop light.
“I’m just…I cant…,” MG sighed and stared down at her steering wheel.
You just can’t believe it?” Sarah asked
“Yeah,” MG said, but then suddenly thought, ‘forget this!’ and said, “You know what no, this is amazing we aren’t going home, we are going to celebrate! “MG smiled and floored it when the light turned green.
She cranked up the music and started tapping her fingers on the steering wheel and singing along. Sarah happily joined in and the two drove around and blasted their favorite Guren Mirror and Grey Sadie’s songs.
They decided to go through a drive through and get some shakes and danced and laughed and yelled the whole time. The workers just laughed.
Finally they decided to go home because they still hadn’t packed yet and only had a couple days left to do so before they left for japan.
The girls got home and decide to go straight to bed, they are too tired for anything else.

“Great job tonight guys,” Riku said to the rest of the band as they all got ready for bed.
But before Akira could lay to go to bed his phone started buzzing. He took it off the nightstand and looked at who was calling. It was Kio.
He snuck into the hallway of the hotel and answered it.
“Hello Kio.”
“Hey man, did you see our girls tonight?”
“Yeah they showed up, oh man.. she looked so beautiful, her eyes kept locking with mine.. ahhh I wish I could go back in time,” Akira finished.
“You better be talking about the tall one,” Kio said in jealousy.
“Yes, yes of course.”
“So how did my girl look?”
“She looked beautiful, I think her mind was somewhere else though.” Akira said.
Kio didn’t reply, and it was silent for a minute.
“You still there Kio?”
“What? yeah.”
“You got quiet,” Akira said
“I know…I just…haha…as silly as it sounds, I miss her.”
“You haven’t…” Akira stopped himself, he couldn’t say it was silly because he hasn’t officially met her yet because he missed Sarah as well.
“Yeah you can’t say anything because you feel the same, even though you got to see her tonight,” Kio replied. Akira was going to say something in anger toward Kio but decided to go with “Yup, and you’re jealous,” to tease him instead
“Well…you…”
“I what?” Akira said grinning on his side of the phone.
“Oh shut up,” Kio replied.

Just then Riku came out, “Who are you talking to so late?”
“Oh it’s Kio, he uh.. wanted to know how the show went,” Akira said quickly.
“Good thinking!” Kio said to make Akira nervous, and just then Riku grabbed Akira’s phone from him and said, “Oh hey Kio yeah it went great!”
“Haha so Akira said! Any cute fangirls in the crowd?” Kio said jokingly at Riku.
“Actually….,” Riku began, “There were these 2 specific girls that really caught my eye.”
Akira turned his head and stared at Riku. Luckily Kio was nowhere near because all color had drained from his face. He knew what was coming next.
“One of them was shorter like you and me,” Riku chuckled, “And the other was taller closer to Akira’s height I’m guessing and she had blond hair. She seemed to really enjoy the show.”
“Well that’s good.” Kio said trying to sound excited for Riku.
“Yeah…,” Riku continued, “The shorter dark haired girl looked like she enjoyed it but kinda seemed like her thoughts were somewhere else.”
“Oh?” said Kio getting a little angered.
“Yeah I kinda…I know this sounds silly, but I kinda just wanted to pull her out of the crowd onto the stage to make her smile more…or hold her in my arms…I don’t know. Silly I know,” Riku finished.
“Aww well that’s sweet Riku. I didn’t think you had it in you,” Kio teased to hide his anger.
“Jees Riku talk his ear off why don’t you,” Akira interrupted.
“Oh right…sorry man…here’s Akira back,” Riku said.
“Have a good flight back Riku,” Kio said.
“See you soon.”
“Hey man sorry about that, holy shit,” Akira said.
“Yeah I’m…yeah…shit…I’m gonna go though. The guys are gonna be here soon,” Kio said.
“Alright man, I’ll see you soon. Bye.”
“Bye.”

The next day the girls woke up just as excited as ever. They would be leaving for Japan in just a couple days! They would be there for 3 months! And if everything went as planned maybe even longer. MG was studying Japanese and dreamed of living there one day. She figured if she could tie down a job she could support herself and Sarah until Sarah found a job or if Sarah wanted to go to school instead.

“What should we have for breakfast?!” MG said, wide awake as she drank her coffee.
“Mmm how about your famous omelette’s?” Sarah replied with a wink.
“Sounds perfect! coming right up!”
MG grabbed the eggs, butter, sausage, cheese, onion and a few other secret ingredients and began work on her omelette’s.
Sarah grabbed a cup of coffee and said, “I’m going to go get the paper. I’ll be right back.”
“Okaaay!” MG said in high spirits.

What the girls didn’t know is earlier that morning Akira got a wake up call from Kio with instructions to put another note on their doorstep.
Sarah screamed with excitement, “Omg, omg!!!!” 
MG came running out with a spatula in one hand and a stick of butter in the other.
“What is it?!”
“We got another one!!” Sarah said excitedly.
“Well what does it say?!” MG demanded.
Sarah opened the letter, cleared her throat and took a deep breath.
“It says…,” but she stopped.
“What?! It says what?” MG said smiling, about ready to burst from excitement.
Then MG saw 2 tickets fall out of the letter into Sarah’s hand.
“What.. what are they for?”
Both girls looked puzzled.
“They are concert tickets for a…,” now Sarah started to smile again, “For a Grey Sadies and Guren Mirror show in Tokyo, Japan 2 weeks from now!!!!” she said, her voice getting louder and they both screamed and started jumping around like little girls.
“Wait, wait,” Sarah said seriously and stopped jumping around.
“What? ”
“There IS a small note.”
“Oh, well what does it say, what does it say?!” MG demanded.
“‘You both looked beautiful last night, we’ll see you soon,’” Sarah read and the same heart was at the bottom. “We’ll see you soon,” MG repeated.
“We’ll see you soon!!!!” they both said in unison
“Ahhhhh.”
They were now acting like little girls again and ran inside to finish breakfast and start packing.
The flight to Japan could not come soon enough.

“They are so cute Kio,” Akira said dreamily as he watched the girls finally run back inside.
“Yeah, yeah rub it in asshole,” Kio said.
“Alright I gotta go. I have a flight to catch. I’ll see you soon,” Akira said, “Bye.”

When Akira arrived back at the hotel, Riku was awake. All Akira could think was, ‘Shit, what am I going to tell him.’
Riku asked, “Where were you?”
Akira replied, “I was just out for a walk taking in the last breaths of the U.S. is all.”
“Ahh I see,” Riku said, still disbelieving.
“Well we better wake the others and get going,” Riku finally said.
Akira went over and started to wake everyone up. In the car on the way to the plane, all Riku did was talk about the ‘two girls from the show.’ It took all Akira had in him not to say anything. Especially after Raidon went in on it.
“Yeah I remember seeing them! The short black haired girl was so cute I couldn’t stop looking at her.”
“I know! I just wanted to dive into the crowd, lift her up and take her away.” Riku chuckled.
“Hey she came to me first,” Raidon said playfully.
“What?” Akira asked confused.
“At the signing she came immediately over to me,” Raidon smiled with a semi-blush.
“Oh,” Akira said.
Riku continued, “Yeah but she was most flushed talking to me.”
“Only because you TOLD her she was cute! Cheater!” said Raidon.
And everyone started laughing. Everyone except Akira. All Akira could think was, ’shit what will Kio say about all this?’
Kin interrupted Akira’s thoughts with, “Yeah but the blonde was so tall and beautiful,” he said dreamily.
“Oh I agree,” said Yuu.
“I think she has it out for Akira though she was blushing so bad when he grabbed her hand,” Yuu continued. “Yeah but only because he grabbed her hand. What fangirl wouldn’t blush?” said Kin and Akira thanked him in his head, that would have been a tough one to explain.
The band gushed over the girls the whole car ride and most of the plane ride until they all fell asleep again. Akira didn’t say anything but luckily the other guys were too busy gushing over the girls to notice.

When the guys arrived at the airport they noticed their buddies Grey Sadies waiting for them. They all hugged and said their hellos before they left the airport.
Of course AGAIN Riku had to start in on the ‘two beautiful girls from the show.’
Kio and Akira so desperately wanted to say something but bit their tongues and just tried to ignore him. Kano got interested at “tall and blond” and began gushing himself without even having seen her. When they arrived at their destination Kio pulled Akira aside and asked what the hell was going on.
“I don’t know,” said Akira, “The whole flight he’s been doing nothing but talk about them.”
“Did you do what I told you, exactly?” Kio asked.
“Yes,” Akira said, annoyed, “But what if…” But then Riku walked over.
“Hey man,” Kio said.
“Hey, let’s go get some drinks and relax at my place eh?” said Riku.
“Yeah, that sounds good,” they both agreed.
And both bands went to Riku’s to relax with a couple drinks. Of course Kio wasn’t much of a drinker so he just drank soda and water the whole night. But it was nice none the less.

Back to the girls, who were so excited they could hardly see straight. MG was taking a shower when Sarah came barging in and screamed.
“WHAT! WHAT?!” MG said, sticking her soapy head out of the shower curtain.
“These tickets!!!!” Sarah replied.
“Yeah I know…what about them?” MG asked
“They are…they are!!! Aah!! ”
“Spit it out!!!” MG said annoyed.
“THEY ARE BACKSTAGE PASSES!!!”
“Ahhh WHA…,” but MG had slipped. Luckily she caught the curtain and didn’t hurt herself too bad.
“Owwww,” MG said laughing.
“Are you okay?!?!” asked Sarah who was trying not to laugh.
Still laughing MG said, “My asss, my ass!”
Both girls started laughing.
“Okay I’ll be waiting in the bedroom,” Sarah said still laughing.
“Alright, me and my hurt ass will be there in a minute.”
Sarah laughed still and left the bathroom.

Some minutes later MG entered the bedroom to Sarah crying.
“Aww sweetie, what’s wrong?”
MG sat on the bed next to Sarah and put her arm around her. Sarah turned to the side with one leg up on the bed.
“It’s just…this is so incredible and happening so fast it’s so hard to believe, yet all the evidence is soooo clear it’s just alot to…you know?”
“Yeah…I know,” MG said and smiled at her, “Would you like to see the massive bruise you gave my ass?” MG said to Sarah with both eyebrows raised.
Sarah smiled, grabbed a pillow and hit her with it.
“What is with you and beating me with soft feathery objects?!?!” MG demanded and grabbed the pillow and hit her back.
