ahahahaha.. It's been a long time since I posted here....been really busy...
Okay I have a guess on who "Toma-chan" is but I'm keeping my mouth shut for now. Is she someone Reina know?
Yes..
so for you guys..here's the next update...
Chapter 4Reina walked towards the elevator. It’s been almost a week since that ‘weird’ encounter but it didn’t occurred again though she’s using the same elevator more than five times a day. Reina was afraid of horror houses and ghosts but she’s definitely looking forward to be in the non-existing 13th floor again. She’s about to push the button when.
“BOO!”
“AHHHH!!!” Reina turned back and saw her ‘rival’ laughing at her prank.
“So, did I scare you?”
“Goto-san! Geez…. And for your information, you didn’t scare me.. you surprised me. That’s different.”
“The effects are the same for me. That was really funny.” Reina shook her head. She’s really happy that she made it into Morning Musume even if she needed to audition twice.
“Hey, I really like your latest single. The story line’s great.”
“Hahaha. Well, I still think it’s somewhat cheesy… and familiar. How many songs with a ‘I don’t want to be a friend but a lover’ genre have been on the airwaves before?” Maki answered while tilting her head a little to the left and crossing her arms across her chest at the same time. Reina blinked at her.
“Uhhh… well… ok, there are many songs with that theme…but if it came from you, it should be good.” Reina muttered the last sentence while turning back towards the elevator.
“What are you mumbling there?”
“Nothing, we’ll just be late if we don’t go in there now.” It’s almost been a year since she joined Morning Musume and still, she ‘idolizes’ the girl beside her. The two went inside the elevator. Maki pushed the 16th floor while Reina, the 14th floor. The little yankii suddenly remembered the ‘out-of-this-world’ floor incident.
“Hey, do you believe that some ‘weird’ things can happen… inside the elevator?” Reina saw Maki thought deeply before smiling at her.
“Yeah… weird like last Saturday night… the day before our Sports Festival. My manager called me for a meeting.” Reina looked at the older girl, that was the day that she was trapped in that 13th floor.
“And then when that elevator door opened, I saw Nakazawa-san and Kei-san kissing. Weird right? I thought it’s more of Yagu-chan and Kei-san.” Reina’s wonky eyes grew wider. That was not the thing that she’s expecting to hear. Reina noticed the other girl was waving her hands in front of her. “Hey, are you alright? I guess, that’s too much information for your innocent mind.”
“Ahh, NO!!! No.. really.. No… I’m fine with it.. It’s just I thought you were going to say something else.”
“And what is it?” Maki asked but before Reina opened her mouth to answer, the elevator door opened on her floor.
“Ahh, it’s nothing. Just… just… ahhh… nothing..ahahaha. Well, gotta go! Have a nice day!” Reina quickly moved out of the elevator and ran towards the studio. She looked back and waved at Maki before the door fully closed.
“What was I thinking?! She’ll probably think that I’m just hallucinating things… or worse… She might think that I’m a lunatic! Was I just dreaming?” Reina slowed down as she thought of the incident. Given that she was already asleep when her manager called her for that meeting, if she was dreaming, then all that happened that night; from going out of her house and then coming back home to sleep, was not real. Reina suddenly realized something, if it’s just a dream, then why did she have the Aqua Stars uniform where ‘Nakazawa’ was the one who gave it to her in her so-called dream. She thought of another ‘theory’. She was really sleepy and she fell asleep inside the elevator… for an hour! Her second theory was even more impossible to happen. For an hour, she was inside the elevator and no one else came inside and woke her up. If it’s not working, then someone would say it to her; that she was trapped in the elevator. But that didn’t happen. It was like she was taken to another dimension. Reina was taken aback when a hand was waving in front of her face.
“Hey, do you know that you are spacing just right now.” Reina blinked at the ‘turtle’ in front of her that somehow appeared out of nowhere in the midst of her spacing out.
“Ha? Am I? Ahahaha, Well, I’m just thinking about something. You don’t have to worry about me Eri.”
“Well, that must be really deep because you didn’t notice that someone mailed you.” Eri pointed at Reina’s bag. Reina opened it and quickly searched for her phone. She flipped it open and smiled when she read the sender’s name.
“Care to join me at lunch today? I’ll be waiting at the cafeteria.” Reina typed her reply and pressed the send button, her grin was still showing at her face. She started walking while linking her hand on Eri’s.
“Who was that? You seemed really happy that you’re even trembling a bit.”
“I just can’t wait for lunch today!” Reina then faced her friend. “I’m going to eat lunch with my idol!”
“Who’s your idol?” The two rokkies were somehow startled at the voice. They looked back and saw the ‘bunny’ hopping towards their direction.
“You know… her rival.” Eri stressed the last word to give a hint. The three of them were really close, being in the same generation and after all, it’s an open secret that she idolizes the former 3rd generation member. Sayu just smirked as she changed the subject on how cute her newly bought pants were.
Ever since Reina replied to that simple mail by joining her to lunch, Maki and her became closer. There was not a single day that there’s no simple mail from Maki to her or vice versa. It was like mailing her has become a habit for almost two months, an important routine of Reina’s daily life. So one night, after a dance practice when Yoshizawa asked the group to eat dinner at a restaurant and Reina forgot her phone at the meeting room, she just HAD to go back and get it.
“Geez, of all the things that I could have forgotten… She’s gonna worry about me.. It’s already late.” Reina grumbled to herself as she pushed the button of the elevator many times; the elevator incident totally forgotten. As soon as the door opened she walked inside and quickly pushed the 7th floor button where their meeting room was located. She glared at the panel while tapping her right foot on the floor as a sign of irritation at the ‘seemingly’ slow machine. She moved closer to the door as her floor approaches but it didn’t stop. Her eyes grew wide with shock and then quickly changed back to her ‘glaring’ eyes at the panel.
“Oi you elevator! Stop now!!! Or you don’t want me to kill the person who pushed the button before me!” She was about to punch the door when the elevator stopped moving and realized that she’s on the mysterious floor again.
