Alright, just for the records, this one-shot is basically an experiment.
I wanted to see how you guys would react to a screenplay-styled fic. (Blame the inner director, ha.) I would like to hear your reactions and responses to this, please. If you find it hard to read because of the format, please tell me!
And another note, not everything in here will be in a screenplay format.
=================================================================
INT. HOTEL LOBBY - DAY TIMEMORNING MUSUME enters their hotel in Los Angeles, all of them looking rather tired from the flight. After a few minutes of waiting, they are handed key cards.
MANAGER
Alright, Takahashi-san, Tanaka-san, here is your key. You two will be in room 217. Your stuff should be dropped off there already.
AI
Thank you.
AI smiles polietly and takes the key, walking towards the elevator, while REINA gives a confused look to the MANAGER.
REINA
Eh? I thought Eri and I were sharing rooms.
MANAGER
Apparently there has been a little switching going on, Niigaki-san and Kamei-san are sharing a room instead
.
REINA
(still slightly confused)
Okay then...
REINA notices that AI has walked off.
REINA
OI! Wait up!
REINA dashes towards AI, who is already in the elevator. REINA makes it in before it closes, and AI hits the button for the second floor. The door closes.
An awkward silence fills the air. REINA shifts uncomfortably while AI just leans against the elevator walls.
REINA
(trying to break the silence)
I wonder why they switched rooms so suddenly...
AI
Gaki-san was telling me how she was thinking of requesting a room with Eri because of something they had planned.
REINA
Oh...Cool.
An awkward silence fills the air again.
REINA
(thinking voiceover)
Is it going to be this quiet all night? I've never actually shared a room with Ai-chan before...
Awkward silence continues... REINA clears her throat just to make noise.
INT. SECOND FLOOR - DAY TIMEAfter what seems like forever, the elevator door opens. REINA practically runs out of it, while AI just strolls out of it casually.
AI
Now...Room 217 is..
.
AI glances around.
AI
This way.
AI turns left, and REINA follows quickly.
REINA
(thinking voiceover)
It can't really be that bad, I mean...Aichan and I get along fine. Sleeping in the same room wont make a difference. It's not like we're sleeping in the same bed or anything.
AI suddenly stops, and REINA almost runs right into her but stops herself in time. AI pulls out the card key and opens the door, holding it open for REINA.
REINA
Thanks.
REINA enters the room, shortly followed by AI.
INT. Room 217 - Day timeAs REINA and AI walk into the hotel room, they find that their luggage is already there. REINA looks around and notices there is only one bed.
REINA
Eh?
AI apparently had noticed as well, for she raised her eyebrows at Reina.
AI
What? Weren't you listening earlier? They told us that there was a mix up in the booking process, so we all got rooms with queen beds instead of two twins.
REINA
Why would I care enough to listen to something like that?
AI
(grinning)
Because you care enough now? What's wrong, Reina? You don't want to share a bed with me?
AI looks to have a glint of evil in her eyes. REINA blushes and responds quickly in her defense.
REINA
It's not like that! I just didn't know!
AI laughs and grabs her luggage bag, pulling out various things and neatly putting them on the side table. REINA sits down on the bed, trying to make herself busy with unpacking.
REINA
(thinking voiceover)
Sharing a bed!? What the hell? Am I the only one that finds this a little...weird?!
REINA glances over at AI, who had pulled out a bunch of shower supplies. AI stands up and starts heading for the bathroom.
AI
I'm going to take a quick bath.
REINA
Uh, okay.
AI grins at REINA.
AI
Now be a good girl and don't cause any trouble, ne?
AI walks into the bathroom and closes the door.
REINA
Eh? Does she mean...? Wait, what?
REINA shakes her head to try and clear her mind.
REINA
(thinking voiceover)
Aichan isn't like that...is she? She would never...Is that why Gaki changed rooms?
REINA tries to remain calm, but it is still obvious that she is freaking out. She grabs her phone out of her pocket and dials RISA's number.
The phone rings.
RISA
Hello, this is Niigaki Risa speaking.
REINA
Why did you switch rooms with me?!
RISA
Tanakacchi?
REINA
Answer the damn question!
RISA
Umm...because Kame and I have some stuff we're planning.
REINA
Don't bullshit me, I know you got out of rooming with Aichan for some reason, now what is it?
RISA
(laughs)
Really, I didn't switch to get out of rooming with Aichan. Why would I? She's one of my best friends.
REINA
...Really?
RISA
Really, now I gotta go. Just try to relax, okay?
REINA
(mumbling)
Fine...
RISA
Bye bye now~.
RISA hangs up and REINA let's out a sigh, plopping on the bed.
INT. GAKIKAMEI'S HOTEL ROOM - DAY TIMEERI looks at RISA as she hangs up her phone.
ERI
Is she really freaking out?
RISA
Yeah, she made it sound like Aichan was going to kill her or something...
ERI laughs and dumps the rest of her clothes on the bed.
ERI
Think she'll figure it out?
RISA
Yeah, she will soon enough.
INT. ROOM 217 - NIGHT TIMEAbout four hours have past since REINA had talked to RISA. REINA is watching random American drama's on the television.
REINA
I thought this stuff was supposed to be internetesting...
REINA looked at the clock and sighed. She crawled off the bed and walked over to the bathroom door, knocking on it loudly.
REINA
Are you done yet!?
AI
(yelling from inside bathroom)
Just one more level!! I'm almost there!
REINA's wonky eye twitches.
REINA
You said that an hour ago!
REINA grits her teeth, walks back to the bed, and sits down, crossing her arms in frustration.
REINA
(mumbling to herself)
Now I get why Gaki switched rooms...
FADE TO BLACK
=======================================
Yes, I am well aware that this takes up a crapload of space
; And I'm sorry if that makes things annoying.
