Chapter 4- First Live!

Furea woke up. She climbed off her bunk and joined Tsubasa. "Good morning Mama, Tsubasa-san, Mii-chan." Furea greeted. "Good morning Furea-chi!" Mikako exclaimed. "Good morning."Tsubasa smiled. "Okay everyone! Today we're going to but on the best concert and earn our very own kiraras!" Mikako exclaimed. "Right!" Tsubasa and Furea agreed. "Let's practice hard." Tsubasa smiled. "Right! Let's burn their eyes with our performance!!" Furea exclaimed. "Cute!" Mikako exclaimed. "She's really somethin' special." Tsubasa smiled helplessly. "Thank you." Furea thanked shyly. They got ready and headed for the door. "Give me a second. I've gotta do something." Tsubasa said. "Tsubasa-san?" Furea asked confused. She took a letter out. "I was able to write a decent letter to my mom." Tsubasa said embarrassed. "Tsubasa!" Furea exclaimed hugging her. "Furea-chi has mail from, Daichi Okazaki." Mikako said. "Daichi-kun!" Furea said with her eyes pleading. "A love letter eh?" Mikako winked. "Well......" Furea said with her face a bright colored red. "I'm going ahead!" she exclaimed. "Furea is in love?" Tsubasa said confused. "Let's attack later. For now we need to think about the live show!" Mikako exclaimed. "Right." Tsubasa said with her face firm. Furea didn't survive the last week without Daichi. She wanted to see him and she had been waiting for his letter for a long time. She really missed home. "Furea. Earth to Furea." Tsubasa shook her. "What is it!" Furea rushed. "We're here. " Tsubasa said. They changed into their practices  outfits. "Good morning girls." Ushiyama said with his eyes as hard and strict as usual."Good moring." the girks said."As you all know today is your first concert. As your dance teacher don't let me down." he said. "Right!" they said. Oogoe diamond blasted. "Okay Tsubasa, this is Furea's song so let's not let her down." Mikako winked. Tsubasa nodded. "Furea, you in the center. Mikako you on the left side and Tsubasa you on the right." Ushiyama instructed. "Right!" they said. They started to dance.

Furea's heart was beating with passion. This was the time she would get to see the crowd. It was worth it. All the memories at home, new memories here. That's right. She was going to put all her energy into this first concert. Even if her cancer got worse. Even if she lost her life. Akb0048 was her life.. Her dream. Even death wouldn't stop her. She danced intensly while the other girls stared at her in awe. "Furea-chi!" Mikako exclaimed. Sweat ran down her face. "Furea." Tsubasa said. They all danced in sync understanding eachothers feelings. Furea smiled to herself. She knew that this team of understudies would surpass the whole group of akb. "Good job. You may practice amongst yourselves. Well, I have to go to the successors practice. Good work today. " Ushiyama smiled. "Thank you!" they exclaimed. "What was your name? Furea?" Ushiyama wondered. "Yes." she said in a low voice. "You were born to be in the center." Ushiyama smiled. Her face lit up. "Thank you very much!" she said politely. "That's amazing. Ushiyama-sensei only compliments the successors! Furea you're a real star." Tsubasa said with her eyes full of excitement. "I bet she got all charged up because of that letter from......what's his name? Daichi!" Mikako teased. Furea's face was beet red. "That's not it!" Furea denied. Mikako laughed. "Really!" Furea exclaimed. Her cheeks were burning. "You're blushing!" Mikako exclaimed. "Mii-chan, we should just leave her alone." Tsubasa said. "I know you want to know who that guy is too." Mikako said. Tsubasa looked embarrassed. She really wanted to know."So who is he?" Mikako asked slyly. "He's..........a really good friend of mine........ um......." Furea said blushing intensely. "I see so youre in a relationship." Mikako said. "Yes." Furea said in a low voice. "Let's get moving guys. Ushiyama-sensei said for us to practice some more." Tsubasa said. "Aww. Your no fun!" Mikako complained. Shonichi blasted. "Furea! You should move more in sync with us. Let's try this again. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight." Tsubasa instructed. They started the song again. This time their sweat ran everywhere and they looked great. Kibou ni Tsuite blasted. The girls worked extra hard.  Tsubasa's movements were more advanced and cool. Furea was putting her heart into the dance and she looked lovely. Mikako was working up all her energy and looked glamorous. The three of them worked well together. They were a good team. "Amazing!" Sashiko exclaimed. "Sashiko-senpai." Furea said in a low voice. "Everyone, good work! I'm glad your putting in so much effort! Make this show your best!" Sashiko exclaimed. "Right!" they all said. Sashiko waved and joined Yuihan. "I'm all fired up!" Furea exclaimed. "So cute!" Mikako exclaimed. "Well, I guess practice is over. We have to return to view the set list." Tsubasa said. They changed and headed on the train. "My blood is boiling! Where will our first concert be?" Mikako exclaimed. "Calm down Mii-chan. We'll still have our concert." Tsubasa said. "Yeah. We get to meet all of our fans and show them our best show ever." Furea smiled. She was thinking about Daichi. She missed him dearly. She would wake up in the middle of the night and cry. She wanted him to come. She wanted her dad to come. They got off the train and headed towards their headquarters. Kaori was standing there waiting for them. She led them to the auditorium  and gave them each a copy of the set list. " Okay everyone is here now. I'll tell you the set list. The successors will be the opening act for the new understudies. Mikako Minamino, Tsubasa Kokoro, and Furea Hoshina, you will be the stars of the show. Work hard to steal the excitement from the successors. Moving on, the successors will sing three songs, Aitakatta, River, and Beginner. The Understudies will then introduce themselves to the crowd. After that the understudies will sing three songs Oogoe Diamond, Shonichi, and Kibou Ni Tsuite. After the songs there is an encore by the understudies with the akb0048 catchphrase. That is the set list. Any questions?" Kaori askedquestion. Furea raised her hand. "Yes Hoshina?" Kaori asked. "Sorry to interrupt but...... where is the concert going to be?" Furea asked. "Oh! Thanks for the reminder. The first understudy concert will be in Sagittastar. It's very dangerous though. We have the successors on combat. If anything gets serious you'll go into your special formations. Any more questions?" Kaori said. No one answered. "Okay then you are all dismissed. Well you guys have a nice afternoon." Kaori said. She walked away with her high heels making a click clack sound. Everyone got up and went to the cafeteria. "I wonder what yummy food we'll eat today!" Mikako exclaimed. "Today's lunch is a seaweed bento for all you special idols." Chef Papa said. "Your food is really yummy." Furea complimented.   "Well what can I say,I love my job. It's great to cook for such talented idols. Don't let me down with your show today." he winked. "Okay." all three girls said in unison. They laughed then sat down. Furea chomped down on her food. Sagittastar. Her home. She was excited. Daichi was going to be there. What she was worried about was her father. If he didn't come she would feel neglected. If he did come she wanted to show him her dream.The dream that she'd risk her life for. "Everyone, I would like to take you somewhere when we get to Sagittastar." Furea said. "Okay! You're just so damn cute!"Mikako exclaimed. Everyone stared at the three of them. Furea got scared and hid behind Tsubasa. "Sorry, I got a little carried away." Mikako apologized. Everyone giggled then looked away.  "I'm getting excited! I hope my mom comes." Tsubasa said. "She will definetely come!" Furea promised her. Tsubasa smiled. "Thank you." Tsubasa said. "I'll show all those girls my beautiful face! They'll all be shocked!" Mikako exclaimed. "Let's have fun before the concert. Where do you want to go?" Furea suggested. "We only have two hours left before take off so we should go to an amusement park first." Tsubasa said. "That sounds fun!" Mikako said. They finished eating and got ready to go. They got on the train. Furea was excited. She wanted to know what would happen next. She made the best friends she could ever ask for. She was ready to take the next step towards her dream. When they got off the train Tsubasa payed for the tickets while Mikako and Furea waited. "Okay everyone gets a ticket." Tsubasa handed them their tickets. They went inside to a world of fun. "We have one hour and thirty minutes left. Let's have some fun." Tsubasa smiled. Furea pointed a crazy rollercoaster and suggested they went on it. Tsubasa denied but she soon got talked into going by Furea's pleading eyes. They fastened their seat belts. The roller coaster started. The roller coaster spinned. There were loops and heights. Tsubasa and Mikako screamed for their lives. Furea was enjoying herself. When the ride was over Tsubasa and Mikako's faces were blue. "Let's go again!" Furea exclaimed. "No way!" Tsubasa exclaimed. "I know you're cute but do you want to die on that thing!?!" Mikako exclaimed "Huh? You guys didn't like it. It was a childrens ride." Furea said. "C-Children go on that thing!" Tsubasa exclaimed. Furea nodded. Furea dragged them on so many horrific rides. She btought them to the haunted house. Tsubasa could barely handle herself. They ate cotton candy and took pictures. They had a lot of fun. Well, Furea did. They got on the train. "I will never go to an amusement park again." Tsubasa said. "I didn't have much fun but I'm glad you had fun Furea. Furea?" Mikako looked at Furea. She was sound asleep. "I guess she really had a lot of fun. She's lucky. I'll never get enough sleep after the haunted house." Tsubasa smiled. "Wake Up! Furea-chi! We're here!" Mikako exclaimed. "Huh?" Furea said opening her eyes. "Thank goodness she woke up." Tsubasa said. Furea saw Akibastar. "Is it time already?" Furea asked. Tsubasa nodded. They got off the train and packet their things. They were ready for take off.
