The next day came by alot slowly then Alex anticipated, maybe the fact her date from last night stayed over and it was hard to sleep when the only thought running through her mind was to look at him... it could be viewed as sweet... IF IT WASN'T SO CREEPY. Her eye bags were massive when she and Ryuji walked into the company's studio. Yua was the first to arrive who gave Alex's eyes a thorough look and asking the big question. "What happened to you?" Yua's concerned was placed but she knew deeply that it messed with their scheduled practice. "I am so sorry Yua-sensei, pleae be gentle." The blobfish that was on the ground like a puddle groveled to Yua's feet.

"I'm sorry Yua-san, that was my fault..." Ryuji said innocently.. but it was not viewed innocently as Yua stared at the two of them before she brought Alex up and hugged her. "I'm so proud, they grow up so quickly." It took a few seconds to process what was just said before Alex errupted. "IT WASN'T LIKE THAT! HE JUST STAYED OVER!" Ryuji, being none the wiser kept his apperance as the perfect bodyguad while Alex tried to deny all of Yua's suspicions.

one by one more of Yume's member walked into the door, watching Yua and Alex as they were shaking each other hysterically while Hikaru could only smile at the two. "So- how was your day yesterday~?" She teased the American while she gave a whine. "You too Hikaru?" She could only giggle at the distress but patted her head. "Were you good to her Ryuji?" Blushing brightly Alex tried to go in between the groupmates and cover Hikaru's mouth. "Hikaru please, I told you all that in confidence!" She cried out while Ryuji flushed and muttered a "Yeah of course I was..." Hana and Sakura looked at each other curiously before Yua whispered. 

"Apparently Ryuji and Alex-" "ARE RIGHT HERE AND HEARING THIS ENTIRE CONVERSATION!" Alex shouted while Hikaru and Yua giggled away. "Can we just go?" Alex muttered as Hikaru grabbed her arm and started to pull them towards the room they were meant to go through. "So how exactly is this going to work?" Alex asked as Sakura who was still giggling away answered. "Well we are going to watch the spoiler when it goes live, apparently the editors had a lot of fun with it." Sakura stated while Yua nodded her head. "So, we get to watch the live feed of the comments, filtered out of course, we don't deal with hate comments." She added.

Alex sat in front of the screen as the group huddled around her, "Because it's your debut, you get the middle." Hikaru stated seating her right in front. "We also have plans to record you greeting the world, and if you are shy we can be there with you and help you answer some questions." She brushed away some unnoticable dust off of Alex's shoulders before she smiled. "That's at a later date though so don't worry to much right now." Nodding her head she relaxed in her chair as the screen started flashing a mouse, she guessed that someone in the back was setting up the live feed for them while she looked towards the other girls with a big smile, looking towards Ryuji she saw the subtle thumbs up.

"Alright it's starting, it's starting!" Hana whispered, the video being released to the public and the video playing on screen for them. Flashing lights which made Alex shutter, knowing that there would be alot of that... then the soft melody and drum with flashes of Hikaru, Hana, Yua and Sakura. And in the pause there was a soft melodical hum in the video, as the video slowly brightened to reveal Alex's face as they slowly opened their eyes and looked directly into the camera. The name of the song appearing in front of the video feed.

It was a short clip but Alex couldn't help the excitement that rose up at the implications of the video, looking down at the rising number of views, Sakura started to read out some comments. "ITS THE GIRL FROM THE KARAOKE! IT WAS REAL!" Sakura shouted in a deeper voice while Alex giggled at the voice. "Hype hype hype! Blond enters the chat!" Yua read one out with a short laughter. "There collecting hair colors!" Hana couldn't help but shake her head at the implications. "Is this a collab or a new addition?" Alex read out while she looked towards the others. "Honestly I would love for you to join." Yua admitted while Alex felt her lip quiver. "That's really for the managers to decide but I am one hundred percent for it." Hana added while Sakura nodded.

Hikaru smiled and nodded her head, "We wouldn't have to hire a lyrical translator for english words as well." She added with a little quip while Alex gave her a playful shove. "I would love that... You guys mean the world to me." She wrapped her arms around the girls in a group hug who happily hugged her back, "Even if they do say no, we will always be here for you." Sakura added, pulling away. "Yeah you can never get rid of us!" Hana rubbed her back as she also pulled away seeing the tears run down her face.

"Oh god your gonna get me to cry now!" Hana whined as she hugged her again. Alex gave a genuine laugh as she sniffled away the tears. "Alright let's continue reading some comments, lets see how they react to ya Alex." Hikaru said as she pulled away scrolling through the comments, they were all so wonderful and excited that it made her heart swell.

The comments went as excited as always, twitter posts were insued with connecting the original karaoke video to the announcement. Meanwhile the group sat back watched them all while some had interesting comments about her ethinicity, while some commented on her 'piercing sapphire eyes.' the comments were all nice, but some questioned who she was and where she came from. Although from  the sidelines where Ryuji had been watching all of the girls interacting with each other and watching through the comments he couldn't help the small lingering smile as he heard the girls laugh.

"Someone's fallen head over heals I see.~" Ito commented with a wink while Ryuji shook his head. "I have not." He denied while Ito gave a cheeky chuckle behind his hand before staring off towards the girls. "Nah I get it... those girls have that effect I guess." He looked towards the girls who started to bicker who would get to be next to Alex in the frame of the picture, while Alex felt all the color drain from her face as they started to hash at it, staring mostly at Yua as he did. "Talk about the pot calling the kettle black." Ryuji muttered while Ito gave a blush. "Well, admitting is the first thing to note when you have a problem. Do you have a problem there Ryuji~" He sang while the black haired guy looked back at Alex with the tiniest of smiles. "Yeah... I do."

Ito flung his arm over his shoulder and gave a hearty laugh. "Here's to our problems~" in that moment Alex turned towards him and gave another one of her soft smiles, her eyes closing as he whispered. "My problem."
