Inbetween the Maybes
This is what really happened. This is what the concert DVD didn’t catch, and what will never be released. Then again, if it was released, then that would only mean someone should sue the place for putting cameras in the ladies room. In short, this is the behind the scenes that no one, will ever see."Maybe, just maybe … if she noticed me, every thing would be fine; I would know that I have one small chance. But there has to be a way. Is it crazy to want to be locked up in a room with you? Maybe then the insanity of it all would disappear and you’d take a look around you." Miki thought to herself as she walked through the halls leading to the restroom.
Peeing was one thing she couldn't do on stage when the lights dimmed down. Then again, it's not like it wasn’t thought of before. She
has wanted
one of them to slip on stage just for pure laughter…
"Hey Miki, what's up? Going to the restroom? It's sorta creepy in there, so watch out. It’s just this big white and empty room filled with stalls you can't see under. I think it's best if you go in there with someone. I'd recommend Erika since she always has to go, but I just saw her walk towards the food court." Yui chimed in as she rudely interrupted Miki's thoughts.
Of course, Miki, never turning down a chance to look tougher than she already seems to be, boldly walks into the restroom. But it didn’t take long for her to realize what the big breasted girl was talking about a few moments ago. Not only did it look like a set from one of those foreign horror movies, but it was cold as hell and she was in her mini skirt. To top that, she was wearing a top that barley covered her goodies.
"Ok….. All I need to do is just rid myself of bodily fluid, wash my hands quickly, and hall ass."
Not soon after she finished doing her business, she rushed out of her stall. It didn’t matter to her that she didn’t wipe. For all she knew, Mimiko* could be right behind her!
"Oh, good. I'm not here alone. ("HOLY FU- oh… Hey.") Haha, Sorry if I startled you, it's just that I think custodians assumed we'd be gone by now, so they locked us in. I was sitting here the whole time when you walked in. I guess I fell asleep since I didn’t notice." She rubbed her eyes and fixed her hair as she was talking to Miki. No matter whom it was she was speaking with, she never missed a moment to look so good.
And there it was. Like someone just granted her wishes. Just like the girl she is, she doesn't take time to count her blessings, thank whoever just to thank someone, or question the odds of this. Miki thought of only one thing : move fast, act smooth.
"So I guess it only opens from the outside. Greaaaat~ all we need now is for someone else to use the bathroom. How often does Erika use the bathroom?" Act smooth,
SMOOTH! Not STUPID! She quickly thought after saying her last statement.
"Huh?" There was a look of confusion on her face that would only be mistaken by a complete idiot.
"Never mind. I don’t have my mobile, and I'm guessing you don’t either since you would have called."
Moments passed - all that was completed was Miki slightly blushing from stupidity and nothingness. So, Miki did nothing but beat herself up for not thinking of something smarter to change the atmosphere. Now's her chance! Where the hell was all her pimp talk!?
"It’s sort of cold in here; I always wondered why they turned up the A/C to igloo temperatures in restrooms." She said, almost as if looking up at the ceiling. Which to Miki; implied only one thing…
Miki left no hesitation to the indirect invite that was left to sit together and keep warm. Not only that, but she did it like a pro.
When Miki noticed that her friend was slowly dozing off as what seemed like eternity passed, Miki jumped to her feet on impulse. There was no chance in hell she was about to let this moment go to waste.
Miki stood up in front of her one member-ed audience and stood there like a flamingo. Monkeys are so overrated.
"Wait, this isn't funny without sound effects! What the hell do flamingos sound like?!" She internally yelled at herself.
Either way, Miki still stood there on one leg, with her head high and her hands bent like wings.
She seemed to get a good response upon hearing some small giggles. Maybe acting like a nut really was funny! This thought only made Miki fuel for more. And with that, she quickly tried to shift from a tall flamingo on one leg, to a small and short hen trying to cluck. Looks like multi tasking was deprived from the result of all this. It wasn’t much longer until she fell. . .
"Ah!" Miki yelped as she fell on top of her. They were so close together, she didn’t even have to lean in; she just looked into her eyes. Miki couldn’t help but feel her cheeks redden. Or keep her heart from trying to make a hole through her chest. Little beads or sweat built up on the side of her head, slowly adding up to the sweat she felt on her hair line. Nothing could be more nerve racking than this.
To what would seem like an intimate moment to most, it felt like absolutely nothing happened. No one acted on impulse; no one kissed each other in guilt, - this was definitely not a good movie. All that happened was empty staring from
the girl.
Miki was lost in thought.
She had her cornered and they stared at each other in the eyes. The only difference was the way
she gazed in. Miki was searching for an answer, anything, awkwardness, shyness, or a plea to keep going.
But all she got was emptiness waiting for the next bold move, which seemed like the end to her.
Finally, the silence was broken. Miki did nothing else but scoff back at the moment, realizing it was no use.
Under her breath, the only thing that comes out is "Did she really hate me that much? You really don’t notice…" It was barely audible, but she said it. Of course,
she wasn’t paying attention because there was no change in reaction.
There was no time for a more awkward moment after that. Erika opened the bathroom door looking like she was searching for something, or
someone.
"Ah Rika! … Or not…" Erika quickly followed after feeling the atmosphere.
Miki jumped of instantaneously and walked pass Erika in a quick manner before the intruder could say anything else.
"There, I said it. I admitted it." Miki said to herself as she walked down the halls back to the backstage. Cameras followed her but this time she didn't even make an effort to smile back and put up a 'Victory' sign.
Before she could let a tear flow out and after she felt her nose tingle and get redder, a familiar voice chimes in her actions. Miki felt so relieved to hear a friend.
"Ah, Mikitty!" Yoshizawa said upon seeing her friend. "why were you in the restroom for so long? You weren't crying were you? Awww, you know we'll both miss her!" She couldn't help but plant a small smirk on her face after seeing the defeat in a friend who rarely cries.
"Shuddup,Iwaslockedintherestroom you doofus." Miki seemed to not have realized she said this after getting closer to her new leader. She made no attempt to show that Yossui was wrong about her crying for Rika's leave.
"All we have is each other now." Yoshizawa said in a soothing voice, which somehow seemed to reassure Miki a little be more. Her mannor of speaking seemed to change, she realized there wasn't room for mesing around now. Even thought she didn't see the real reason why Miki looked so down, she felt a need to have to let her know that things will be alright.
"I know, I know." Miki replied as she was now held in Hitomi's arms in a long and warm embrace. She noticed the diffrence. Yoshizawa's affects of becoming the new leader, the new mom, and the new best friend were taking place. At least she had her to hold on to.

PHEW! I did it! This didn’t stay the original I wanted it to. In fact, it’s almost twice as long as I had imagined it to be. I guess time does give me more ideas. I was planning to post this up yesterday because of the surprising amounts of responses in less than 24 hours! <3 After editing before even finishing, I realized that I became satisfied with it. Honestly, I almost trashed it!
Another reason why I didn’t get to post it right away was I'm on deep watch because I got in trouble the night I made my first chapter. It was messy, and yeah, I'm in trouble
but this is normal, and this situation has happened quite a few times before.
I woke up early as hell to read to get some inspiration and write this, and it worked! Because I was in trouble I had to err... sleep early =_= so I woke up early =_=
~Please look forward to the next chapter. It will be the start of the whole story, sorta. I'm drained, so I don’t know how to describe this next one.
~Currently listening to : FRUITY KILLER TOONS
Thank you's will be made in the next post. I hear my parents looking for me to eat some of the food I cooked
>.>
