• Chapter Two - “Party”

    The next few days flew by. Everyone was happy for us. And the entire band was excited for the party. Everyone except Shawn. He was disappointed that we would actually be meeting the guys. And even more disappointed that we were going on tour with them. He still likes Pixi. That much was obvious. And we all knew that he was not going to cheer up anytime soon.

    It was now Wednesday and Pixi and I were, once again, in my room. We had been getting ready since we got home from school and, even if I do say so myself, our outfits were perfect. Even our hair was perfect. I was wearing black skinny jeans, a black and purple tang top with a black half shirt over it. I looked over and smiled at Pixi as I pulled on my black high heel shoes.

    Pixi was wearing a similar outfit. Hers was black and red instead of black and purple. We both had the same tastes in clothes. It wasn’t very often that we wore the exact same thing but we figured we would tonight. After all, it is a special occasion.

    “You ready?” Pixi asked as I stood up.

    “Sure am, lets get going!” I smiled and then we both squealed. This was the most exciting night of our entire lives. We were going to meet Cinema Bizarre in less than a half hour!

    Ten minutes later we were in the limo and on the way to pick up the others. It wasn’t long after that when we showed up at the Bizarre house. Pixi, Nikki and I sighed dreamily and got out of the limo as the driver opened the door. We stared at the house for only a few moments before we walked up the driveway with the guys.

    I nearly fainted when Strify answered the door. For those of you who don’t know, Strify is the lead singer. In the next moment my entire world changed. There, standing behind Strify was the one and only Shin.

    “Hey, you guys are here.“ Strify said as he let us in.
    I nodded, smiling at Shin, “I’m Lena, this is my twin sister Vanessa, but she prefers Pixi. That’s Nikki, Jason and Shawn.” I said pointing to each of them.

    Shin smiled and put out his hand, I shook it shyly, never moving my gaze from his as he never moved his from mine. We stood there for a moment, just staring at each other, when Strify laughed, “Are you guys just going to stand there all night or are you going to come inside?”

    He nudged Shin, who looked at him and smiled. He had the most beautiful smile I had ever seen in my life. We all walked down the hallway and into a large room. There, sitting on couches and the floor, was the rest of Cinema Bizarre.

    I swear Pixi nearly fainted when she saw Kiro. I had to squeeze her shoulder to keep her from running over and hugging him. She whined quietly in her head, You will get your chance to hug him. Don’t worry. I said to her inside my head. We always listened to each others thought while still paying attention to everyone else in the room.

    As we had this little exchange the guys stood up, each coming over one by one and introducing themselves, and shaking our hands. Pixi was doing a happy dance in her head when Kiro took her hand and kissed it gently, Oh my god. Lena! Did you see that? Oh my god!

    I laughed quietly out loud, causing everyone to look at me with questioning looks. I just shook my head and looked at Pixi, Calm down! Your going to blow it! I scolded her. We both looked at the boys and smiled softly.

    “For twins, you guys sure look different. Aside from your clothes that is.” Eve said with a light chuckle.

    “Fraternal twins.” We both said at the same time. Everyone started laughing. It was the perfect way to start the evening. Even Shawn wasn’t all tensed up. Which was a good thing.

    I looked over and saw Shin staring at me. We both smiled and kept eye contact as everyone sat down. “So, is anyone besides me overly excited for this tour?” I asked, taking the seat next to Shin as Pixi took a seat next to Kiro, who as on my right.

    “Now I am.” Shin said with a smile.

    I smiled back as the chatter arose, everyone was off in their own conversations.

    “So why are you excited for it?” I asked Shin.

    “Because… well, tour is always fun. But now that we have a band that is actually really amazing for an opening act, its even more exciting.” He said with a huge smile. I blushed and he continued, “You have an amazing voice, you should sing for everyone. I know the guys want to hear you and your sister do a duet.” He added.

    The moment the words were out of his mouth the entire room went quiet. Pixi’s voice automatically came into my mind, We should do this for them. It mike make good impressions on Kiro and Shin.

    I smiled a little as the others started commenting, “Yeah, you should. Come on, get up. Lets hear it!” They said before they started cheering.

    Pixi and I stood up and looked around at the people. Shin reached behind the couch and pulled out an acoustic guitar and handed it to Pixi. She took it gratefully and started playing one of our new songs we had just finished called The Climb. We both smiled as we sang, getting right into it. I observed many things as we did so. For one, Kiro never kept his eyes off of Pixi for more than two seconds. Two, Shin never moved his gaze off of me, at all. Which made me extremely happy. And three, Nikki and Yukito were hitting it off.

    When the song was over I took the guitar from Pixi and handed it back to Shin as the guys applauded. It was nice to be able to perform in front of the guys and not in front of our parents.

    Within the next ten minutes everyone had gone off on their own, in sets of two or more. Shin and I were in the back yard, laying in the grass and watching the stars.

    “You know Lena, I couldn’t have asked for a better night.” Shin said, looking over at me. We had gotten to know each other really well during the past hour and in my opinion we had been flirting.

    Hells yeah you have! Pixi said in my mind. Her and Kiro had gone off on their own and had been flirting as well. It looked like everything was going perfectly.

    “Really? Why is that?” I asked, looking into his eyes. I had completely ignored Pixi’s comment. Not that she minded.

    Shin didn’t answer me. Instead he just leaned in and kissed me lightly on the lips. His lips felt so soft and my eyes immediately closed. When I opened them again he was looking at me. Judging my reaction I guessed. So I smiled and moved my hand up to gently caress his cheek. He smiled back and covered my hand with his, kissing my palm gently.

    “You’re the reason this night is going so perfect.” He whispered, “You are an amazing girl Lena, and I’m surprised that you’re single. A beautiful, talented, amazing girl like you must have all the guys after her.”

    I blushed and laughed lightly, “Not really. I guess they think I’m intimidating. No one wants to get in my way. Or get involved in my life. They think that its too much to handle.” I said quietly, looking down.

    He let go of my hand and slipped his under my chin, making me look at him, “Well in my opinion, they are all idiots who don’t deserve a girl as amazing as you. Any guy in the world would be lucky to have you.”

    I stared at him for a moment, thinking over what he had just said, “You are the sweetest most perfect guy I have ever met.” I said before leaning in and kissing him.

    We both jumped when we heard someone clearing their throat behind us. We looked back to see Strify, a huge smile on his face, and a video camera in his hand, standing there. He had the camera pointed towards us.

    “How long have you been standing there?” Shin asked, a blank expression on his face. His cheeks were red with embarrassment, as were mine.

    “Well, does ‘You’re the reason this night is so perfect.’ sound familiar to you?” He asked with a light chuckle.

    “Please tell me you did not just videotape all of that!” I said, standing up. Shin stood up too and wrapped an arm around my waist. I could hear Pixi laughing in my head.

    “I did, and I’m going to go hook this up to the television and get everyone into the room so that they can watch it.” He teased.

    I blushed and then sighed, “Fine, but only if its okay with Shin.” I said, looking at him with a smile. He smiled back and then nodded.

    “As long as you agree to be my girl.” He whispered in my ear, making Strify very curious. It was clear in his eyes, and he still had the camera on us.

    “Of course.” I whispered back with a smile.

    The three of us headed inside. Shin and I sat hand in hand as Strify went and gathered the others. Everyone came back in with a confused look. All except Pixi and Strify that is.

    It took Strify only a minute to hook up the camera to the television. He had rewound the tape and as soon as it was hooked up he pressed play.

    The tape started with the meeting at the door, then went to me and Pixi singing, then it skipped straight to my conversation with Shin. I blushed and hid my face in Shins chest as it played, He wrapped his arms around me, smiling and blushing the entire time.

    Everyone was speechless until they all looked over at us. That’s when all the ‘awe’s’ started.

    Pixi smiled and then laughed lightly, “Well, looks like two hook ups happened tonight.” She said. I hadn’t been paying attention to her and Kiro while I was with Shin so her next words surprised me, “Right Kiro?”

    Kiro smiled and wrapped his arms securely around her, “You got that right.” He said before kissing her cheek. She smiled and blushed, looking at him with so much love in her eyes. As he looked at her the same way.

    I smiled and cuddled into Shin as I observed the scene in front of me. Everyone was happy. Even Shawn. It was looking like Nikki and Yukito were hitting it off. What a perfect night. Nothing could be better than this. Nothing at all.
