How did you guys know? I'm really surprised that you knew before I wrote anything else, but it is IshiYoshi. I apologize in advance for the beginning, the shock over what has happened has been too much for me
Chapter 1: April 2000
Tsunku had the four girls in her office. They had been picked for the Fourth Generation of Morning Musume. He looked them over before giving out their first assignments to the girls. "First of all," he said, "I would like to congratualte you on passing the auditions and welcome you into Morning Musume. You will be in their new upcoming single, 'Happy Summer Wedding'. This will also be the last single for Yuko Nakazawa."
"Yes," the four nodded.
"Also, for you Rika and Kago," Tsunku added, "you will be placed in Tanpopo."
"Thank you," the two girls replied.
"That is all for today. We start recording for the song tomorrow."
The four girls left the office as Tsuji and Kago began to chat away with each other. Rika began to walk away before someone call out to her. "Rika-chan!" someone shouted.
"Huh?" Rika asked.
"You doing anything right now?" the girl asked.

"Wanna hang out?"
"I don't know who you are."
"Name's Hitomi Yoshizawa, you can call me Yossie."
"All right, Yossie. What do you want to do?"
"Just hang out, what do you like to do?"
"I don't know...guess we'll think of something, won't we?"
"Congratulations on being included in Tanpop. Tsunku must have really like you enough to be in another group."
"You think so?"
"Of course. I believe in you."
"You do?"
"Of course." Yossie took Rika's hand into hers as she saw Rika blush. "Come on," she said, "let's go out for the day."
Little did Rika know, that she would be entwined to her new friend Yossie for years to come...
