It was the next two days when Hikaru finally had gotten the go ahead from her agents and producers that they would be able to fit Alex into a date for when they finally get to meet her... "Do they know about..." Hana whispered as Hikaru nodded, "They do, they didn't seem to pleased with the idea at first but I convinced them to meet her and hear her sing first." Yua shrugged her shoulder while She looked over towards Alex who was on the phone. "Yes... Right... can I have a day before I have to... yes? Oh thank you so much. I'll come by tomorrow." Alex hung up her phone and sighed as Hikaru looked at her curiously.

"Sorry that was the apartment I'm living in, they wanted to ask if I was able to pay for the living expense." Yua looked concerned but Alex waved her off, "It's not that much, I have a little bit of yen left over to pay." Hikaru gave Yua a side glance, there thoughts roughly the same before Hana shouted in surprise. "Oh my god." Sakura looked over her shoulder to see what was the fuss as Hana showed her the phone. "Oh no.." Hikaru walked forward and asked the question on the three's mind. "What is it?" She turned over the phone and a video started to play... it was the group and Alex at the Karaoke bar, the title being, 'Yume's new member!?' They paled at that as they continued the video, it was attached to a news interview.

"Here we have Sora Sasaki, the Karaoke Bar owner with us who submitted the video in excitement, Tell us, do you really beleive that this might be a new member?" The mic was transfered over to the man, "That woman's voice was so beautiful and powerful, The video doesn't do it justice as i was shaking so much from excitement!" The man in questioned said as Alex blushed brightly at the praise from the video. "It would only make sense for her to be a new member!" He practically stated while Sakura started to scroll through the comments of the video.

"New member Leak!?" "Didn't they say they had something special planned?" "Maybe this is the special announcement!" Alex looked at the comments herself and when she got a little farther down she saw some hate comments... "She kinda looks ugly." "Uhh my ears, an Adele song?" "She looks so constricted." Hikaru who saw those comments scrolled back up to the nicer comments for Alex. "Rule number one girls." Hikaru stated as the other three stated, "No looking at hate comments." they chorused all together while Alex looked down at her phone again, staring at the lovely comments that were top rated... "Okay... but is this an issue? They think i'm joining you guys... well for a song is correct but would they get upset to know otherwise?" 

Hikaru shrugged, "Surprisngly this happens alot in the music industry, but we've never had a collaboration leak so quickly... so of course they'd expect that, especially since we were caught in a karaoke bar of all places." She pointed towards Alex in the video, "I dont think they expected another in the video so close to us." Sakura gave a grin as she joined the conversation. "Who knows maybe you could join us." Alex went flabbergasted at the idea. "Hold your horses there Sakura." Yua grabbed her collar from the shirt and pulled her away. "She hasn't even recorded the song we planned to do, don't throw her another thing to think about."

Alex gave a thankful look towards Yua, but the seed was planted and all she could do was think about it... She stared at the rapidly growing number of views as she kept thinking of what to do. Hikaru's phone buzzed as a text chorused out. "Ah, It's time to go, Come on girls." Alex felt a little lost before Ryuji's hand on her shoulder snapped her out of the internal conflict she was having, looking behind her she smiled at him and nodded, following after the group she walked into a large studio, Two producers sat at the helm of the large and expensive piece of equipment that was in front of them, Alex looked at it all while Hikaru started to push her in front of themselves. "Alex, these are our producers, Kim and Kaito. Kim, Kaito, this is Alex. Now where is our Managers?" 

Hikaru questioned while Kim pointed to the other room where there was a glass pannel, "We are in here Hikaru-chan. We are here to see This... Alex's performance." Hikaru looked at them as if they were crazy while Alex looked between the group and producers. "I-i'm sorry?" As if asking the question Kim stated, "They want to see how well you sing before they give you a answer." Hikaru sighed as she looked back towards Alex. "It's okay, I believe you'll do great." She smiled towards her while Alex felt the anxeity build more and more, gulping she slowly walked towards the door while Ryuji opened the door for her... a small pause happened as Alex looked up towards him, he nodded at her in approval giving a soft smile. "You can do it." 

Her shaking stopped as she nodded her head, walking forward she looked up at the two glass panes in front of her, one where the producer and band is, and the other where the managers are... looking at the space around, she noticed alot of different instruments as she slowly traced her hand onto a piano, distant memories of her mothers voice and soft piano notes... "Do you need us to play you something?" Alex looked up and shook her head as she grabbed a microphone and placed it into the stand right above the Piano and sat down, slowly she placed her hands and did a few notes to get the feel of it against her hands and nodded to her self.

"Is this microphone working?" Alex asked as the producers nodded while Hikaru sat in front of the group, Sakura whispered. "Do you know which song she will sing?" She only shook her head, "No... she didn't tell me." Ryuji watched on as Alex slowly started to play the piano... Her eyes closed at the slow notes were played. "You shout it out... But I can't hear a word you say..." Looking up at the window towards the managers. "You're talking loud... not saying much... I'm critizied but all your bullets richochet..." Slowly the tempo increased as she looked over towards Yume with a smile. "You shoot me down, but I get~ up~..." Her eyes closed, taking a deep breath...

"I'm bullet proof... nothing to lose~ fire away, fire away... Richochet, you take your aim~ fire away, fire away..." She breaths deep, "You shoot me down~ but I Won't FALL~ I am titanium~." playing the piano louder and more faster. "I am titanium~..." Taking a pause she looked down at the piano. "Stone hard... machine gun... firing at the ones who run... Stone hard. Like bullet proof Gla~a~a~ass~" The note sustained before she slowed down. "You shoot me down... but I won't fall... I am titanium..." IT was as if it was a whisper before she brought it up again. "You shoot me~ down~ But I won't faalll~~" It was just at the height of her range and she hit it before she stopped playing entirely... silently she breathed out, and closed the piano and looked up towards the managers.

"is that all?" As she said that, The door opened and Sakura came barreling in. "You also know Sia?" Alex smiled slightly as she caught the girl who was excitedly jumping up and down. "Yeah, I love her voice." Hana and Yua came in after while Hikaru was talking with the producers. "You did great!" Hana praised whle Yua asked. "You know Piano too? Is there any other instruments you can play?" Alex scratched her head sheepishly. "A little bit of trumpet? but not really" She chuckled while she looked up and Saw Ryuji at the door giving a thumbs up. She smiled warmly at him while Sakura and Hana saw this and went "Ooo, when did you too become so close?" They teased while Yua looked at Ryuji who had the decency to look sheepish while Alex blushed brightly.

"W-What do you mean? We just talked some. As friends." She practically fumbled out while the three girls looked at each other. "Surre." Yua added in a whisper. "The hot ones, am i right?" Alex's face practically exploded in crimson as she fell to the ground when Ryuji walked up to them. "What are you guys talking about?" Sakura could only fake interest as she looked down at Alex who was pracitcally foaming at the mouth, "Yeah Alex, what were we talking about." She could only cry out. "You guys are mean." Hana and Yua giggled while Ryuji could only look on in confusion.

After a few moments, Hikaru walked in and gave all of them a big smile. "Come on Alex, lets go hear the news." in font of them was the manager of the company that ran yume stood in front of them. This was Hataki Otui, He was a prevelant name in the music industry but also notoriously strict... "I'll be frank with you, you are talented, and we would be honored to have you as a debut." Alex couldn't help the smile before the dreaded, "but there is a chance the public may view you negatively."

Alexandria smiled grimly as she looked up at the manager. "Thats what im prepared for..." looking towards Yua and Ryuji for a moment. "If i don't show people it's okay to be yourself, then why are we here?" Well and behold Hataki smiled. "you are one interesting individual, Alexandria. Well then, I suppose it's time for us to get to work. Kim, Kaito? Where do you think she could fit?" Kaito answered fairly quickly. "One of the lead singers for the song or at least backup vocal harmonies." 

As they kept talking, Aex felt the reality of the situation... did she pass their expectations for a debut?? She pondered for a moment before Hikaru and Hana Hugged her from the sides, she finally relaxed, their warmth was the only thing as she started to tear up. "S-So this is a y-yes?" Alex couldn't help but ask the question as Hataki looked over and gave a nod. "It is a yes." She pratically turned around and hugged all four of the group members in a group hug. "Oh come on now, don't you guys start crying or I will start crying." Kim said emotionally as Kaito was nice enough to hand a tissue.

Hataki smiled at the girls before turning back around towards Kaito. "Make her feel welcomed, I gotta go deal with the paperwork side of things." The manager left at that while the producers watched the group interact while Alex pulled away from the group and gave a shaky thumbs up towards the guard who smiled warmly at her. "Well done, Alex." Yua who pulled Alex back into the studio in a fit of small giggles while Hikaru gave Ryuji a knowing look.

"You and Alex seem close." She practically spelled it out for the man in the suit who shrugged. "Well we have alot in common... thats what you wanted right? For us to get along like the others?" He asked while Hikaru smiled at him, seeing right through him. "and yet theres something different between you and Alex." She left him with the look that spoke a thousand words. Ryuji could only look away, a soft red hue adorning his face... looking back towards the girls who started to put on different headsets, Alex in the middle, looking a little frazzled as the producers talked through the microphone. 

"Alright! let's get this started Alex!"
