Red group was already at the next bar when they got a call from Pink group. Takahashi reached for the cell phone.
"hello?"
"Hey, it's Tsuji. We're at that seven-eleven on the way there with White, Green, and Yellow. We had a bit of an accident so we are going to be a few more minutes."
"Ah! Is everyone okay?" Takahashi looked seriously concered, and the other girls of Red looked back at her with much the same look.
"Well. It's just Rika."
"Rika?" When in shock, Takahashi repeated the obvious.
"She kinda hit the van"
"Oh my God! She got hit by a van!?"
Takahashi looked back and forth at the girls in shock. She failed to notice the smile on Sayumi's face.
"No! No, no, she hit the van."
"How do you hit a van?"
"The same way a van hits you. The roles are just switched."
"So she's alright?"
"Yeah she's okay."
"Oh thank God!"
Takahashi covered the cellphones reciver and yelled
"Rika! She's fine, she's fine!"
The girls seemed genuinly relieved. All except for Sayumi. Sayumi seemed...disapointed. She gave a loud over excited yell of 'great!' clearly followed by a 'bitch' , crossed her arms, and threw her head to the side. Of course, this display was somewhat lost on Takahashi.
"It is great isn't it?!"
Ai paused for a moment. Nah. Couldn't be. Why would Sayumi want Rika, the cutest memeber ever, to be hurt? I just must be imaging things Ai thought. Yeah, thats it.
When Ai put the phone back up to her ear she heard a lot of yelling in the background.
"ok, I really need to go" Tsuji said.
Of course to Ai, that was barely audible. All she could hear was
'On you marks, get set,'
click. The phone cut off.
