"Please continune moving all the way to your right and fill in all available seats." There was a pause. "This means you Masae. Get your ass up and over."
Masae stood up and looked back, searching for the owner of the voice. She found Yuuko standing at the top of the room, megaphone inhand, smirking at her.
The room appartently took its inspiration from that of a band room. The front of the room was ground level and from there it expanded into several different wrap around layers each no more than a step higher than the previous. It was used mostly for large meetings within the project, when rehersal tapes need to be reviewed, but as of late some girls had taken up a liking to doing homework there because it was one of the few disturbance free areas in the massive building. In fact most girls forgot its existance, it was vary rare to find yourself in there more than three or four times every six months. It was furnished with comfortable chairs with optional desktops that rested at one side of the chair until needed.
"Cocconuts! Get your cocconuts!" Mari yelled from the bottom layer, sounding like a peanut vendor at a baseball game.
"Yeah!" Nacchi shouted, her hand raised as she raised her body slightly off her seat. "Over here!"
Mari glanced at the crowd, then spotting Nacchi, she smiled and shook her head, giving a thumbs up sign as she reached for a cocconut out of the backpack.
Mari wound up and tossed.
Whack.
"Ow!" Mai screamed, grabbing at her head.
Nacchi and Mari burst into laughter. After a few seconds of giggling, Nacchi said "Sorry" and reached forward to retrive the cocconut. Mai shot her a glare as she continued rubbing at the side of her head. Nacchi handed her a pile of bills and nodded in Mari's direction. She sat back down and added the cocconut to her growing pile.
"I don't even like cocconuts." Nacchi remarked, her trade mark smile absolutely glowing.
Sayumi looked over at her, not really getting what she ment.
Yuuko had placed Reina at the door to take admission. She felt that no one would take Yui seriously and continuous questions such as "who are you?" would hold up the line. Admision was 600 yen and Mari was inside pedling various cocconut refreshments and snacks for an array of prices. Yuuko was in the middle of a head count when she heard a fight errupt.
"Jesus Christ! You're doing it on purpose. I hate you both!"
It was true. Since the girls had started to file in Nacchi had continually ordered cocconuts and Mari's throws seemed to fall about a meter short each time. Mai, who was now standing up in a fit of rage took the cocconut that had recently made its aquantince with the side of her head and threw it at the pint size culprit two levels below her. She then turned around and flailed her arms at Nacchi who couldn't supress her laughter any longer.
Yuuko smiled. It was a good day. Not only was it entertaining, it was highly profitable.
Almost all of the girls were settled when the woman of honour made her entrance. Well, at least one of them.
Miki strolled into the room and was immeadiately greeted by Yuuko.
"So glad you could join us."
"Yeah well, I had a taping.."
"Yes."
There was an awkward pause as Miki scanned the room.
"Is Aya here?"
"I-"
"Miki!"
"Well I guess that answers your question." Yuuko replied.
The two looked at the soloist who was excitedly making her way through the row and waving rather goofily much to the dismay of the girls who were already seated. Toes were stepped on, bodies were elbowed and at the end of it no one other than Aya looked pleased.
Miki clicked her tounge.
"Hey! Where have you been?!"
"Uh? Me? Around." Miki said crossing her arms at the end of her sentence in a stoic manner.
"Huh? I've been trying to get a hold of you for ever."
"I had things going on."
"What's with you?"
"Me?" Miki said lowering her head and pointing. "Nothing."
"You're acting strange."
"Not at-" Miki cut off her sentence. She stood on tip toe, streching out her neck and looking over Aya "What's that, Asami?" She yelled rather loudly. "I can't quite hear-" She looked back down at Aya and put her hand on her shoulder. "If you'll just excuse me for a moment."
Miki made her way up to the middle section towards a rather confused looking Asami. The look was replaced with extreme over reacting as Asami finally made out the words Miki was mouthing, and the glare she was displaying, as she moved closer.
Aya and Yuuko stared at Miki who continued to shoot glances back at them as she talked to Asami.
"Something's going on..." Yuuko mumnled to herself.
"I was about to say the same thing." Aya agreed.
