Mikka and I went nervously past the ticket seller.

We didn’t expect tricking him like that. I think it’s fated. I mean, what are the chances of there being a band named Wadyamacalits?

She even gave us instructions where to go, since according to her we were a new band.

"Mikka, are we dreaming?"

I asked, because I really can’t believe what's happening. I can’t believe we had access to the backstage dressing room

with the guitar at my back, I felt like I was really a musician, and walked with my head held high.

But I quickly snapped out of it when I heard Mikka giggling at how stupid I must have looked.

We continued walking until we met door.

"This must be it"

Me and Mikka faced each other, nodded, then slowly opened the door.

A bright light greeted us as we entered, forcing me to squint.

When they adjusted, I saw that there was no one in the room.

"Wha...?"

Even Mikka was surprised to find that we are the only ones in the room.

We looked around, wondering where everybody went.

The room we were in was about the size of my classroom, not too big nor too small, probably enough for one band of 5 to fit in one at a time.

I start to doubt if this was even the right room

But, I think I’m wrong

There was a large mirror on one side, a clothes hanger, a sofa set, and a guitar rack- everything i'd expect to find in the backstage room

There was even a small TV with a live feed of the stage hanging up on the wall. The stage was empty, which meant none of the bands are playing yet.

Just where are they?

We both decided to look around. Mikka headed over to the make-up table, while i checked out the clothes rack

It was a closet styled clothes rack, with familiar costumes hanged on a metal rod. I pulled one out, and recognized it, as it reminded me of what Yui had been wearing earlier

"Renee-chan?"

Just then, a somewhat familiar girl voice called out, causing me to nervously flinch

I didn’t respond at first, thinking I might have mistaken it for me

but, it called out again

"Renee-chan? Is that you there, carrying the guitar case"

I wanted to ignore it again, but whoever it was, it was clearly calling me

I slowly turned around, and my eyes met a set of hazel brown eyes

It took my brain a few moments to remember who it was.

"Tatsumi...chan?"

The girl’s face suddenly livened up

"Hah, Renee-chan , you remembered me! I'm so happy"

(Renee-chan = Ren + Onee-chan)

Yes, that’s right, I remember that smile anywhere.
