Tokyo University
Shoyo's with his friends at the rooftop thinking about the offer that they received after they won the competition.
"So what are we gonna do?" Shoyo asked.
"Dunno," Rain answered.
"Shin?" Rin asked while looking at him.
"I'm not the leader," Shin simply answered.
"Keiji, since you're basically our manager," Eita said.
"Accept it then," Keiji said without any hesitations.
"I agree with Jii," Hajime agreed.
"Accept and I will be your stylist," Kei added.
"We can help Keiji watch you guys cause sometimes you are so chaotic that he wanted to give up on you," Kiyomi said.
"We're not that chaotic, Kiyo-chan," Shoyo exclaimed.
"I don't believe you, Sho" Kiyomi disagreed.
"Nii-chan?" Sho asked while looking at Keiji.
"Kiyo-san's right," Keiji said, agreeing with what Kiyomi said.
"Love, we aren't right?" Rain asked while looking at Eita.
"Songbird, as much as I want to agree but you and Shoyo are chaotic including Kei, Rintarou and Kenma when you guys have 'tea'," Eita said.
Rain pouted that made Keiji chuckle and added, "You sometimes start the chaos, love"
So Rain pouted more that made her boyfriends smile at her and they kiss her cheek while the others watch them with adoration in their eyes.
"So why am I included?" Kenma suddenly asked so Hajime looked at him with a raise eyebrow that made him nod in understanding.
"Tea is life Eita-san," Kei said answering Eita's statement about them.
Hajime then looked at them and saw that they're still thinking so he sighed.
"Just stop thinking and accept the offer," Hajime exclaimed.
"You have been waiting for this opprtunity so grab it and we will be with you all the way," Kiyomi added.
"Alright," the five answered.
"Then I'll give him a call," Keiji said as he pulled out his phone from his pocket.
Keiji dialed a number and it rang many times until someone answered.
??: 📞Hello?
Keiji: 📞Hello Alex-san
Alex: 📞Akashi, what can I do for you?
Keiji: 📞It's about your offer
Alex: 📞Have you decided? You can still have more time if you want
Keiji: 📞We've decided Alex-san and we accept your offer
Alex: 📞Are you sure?
Keiji: 📞Hai
Alex: 📞Then I'll see you this weekend to discuss everything
Keiji: 📞Hai. See you, Alex-san
Alex: 📞See you
Keiji ended the call then looked at his circle of friends who's kidding around and chasing each other.
"Alright guys, we will meet Alex-san this weekend to discuss everything with him," Keiji informed.
"Just wondering, what about school if we start this?" Shoyo wondered.
"Online Sho," Rain answered.
"I can manage that," Shoyo said.
"Me too," Rin said, agreeing with them.
Eita and Shinsuke just nodded as approval of what Rain said.
"I think it's much better than seeing them around," Hajime said, agreeing with their decision.
The others just hummed in agreement so they enjoyed their lunch and went back to their own classes after they heard the bell rang.
.

Weekend came, the squad went to the company that Alex owns. He welcomed them at the entrance and tour them around till they reach his office. They discussed everything they needed then signed the contract. Alex then told them that they can record their first song so they went to the studio.

"I'm nervous," Shoyo said while looking at them.
"Me too," Rain agreed.
"I think we all are since this is our first official concert," Rin said.
"Guys, you have to breathe and don't ruin your make-up," Keiji said while looking at them fidgeting or walking around.
"They're water proof, love," Rain informed about their make-up.
"Relax you guys cause it's your turn," Alex informed them.
"The others are just in front so you can look at them if you feel nervous," Keiji said.
"Alright," they all said.
"Breathe cause I'm gonna go out there to introduce you, okay?" Alex said.
The group just nodded their head so he went on the stage and the crowd went wild upon seeing him.
"Good evening everyone. I'm here, not to sing, but to introduce the new group that I discovered. So without further ado, let's welcome on stage, Aces and Kings!!!" Alex introduced.
The crowd cheered as they finally showed up and Rain saw how nervous they are so she's the one who greeted the crowd.

(Airplanes pt. 2 by B.O.B ft. Eminem and Hayley Williams)
Rain: 🎵Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now
Sho: 🎵Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now
Rain: 🎵Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Rin: 🎵Yeah, yo...let's pretend like it's '98
Like I'm eatin' lunch off of Styrofoam trays
Trying to be the next rapper coming out the A (A-Town)
Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain
Yeah, now let's pretend like I'm on the stage
And when my beat drops everybody goes insane
Okay, and everybody know my name (Spade)
And everywhere I go people want to hear me sang
"I didn't know he could rap," Hajime whispered.
"You'll be more surprised when the others sing," Kenma whispered back.
They then heard the crowd screamed Rin's stage name.
"Spade-sama!!!"
"And they like him," Kiyomi said.
Ei: 🎵Oh yeah, and I just dropped my new album
On the first week I did 500 thousand
Gold in the spring, and diamond in the fall
And then a world tour just to top it all off
And let's pretend like they call me the greatest
Selling out arenas with big ass stages
And everybody loved me and no one ever hated
Let's try to use imagination
Crowd: Shiro-sama!!!!
Sho: 🎵Can we pretend that airplanes in the nighy sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now
Rain: 🎵Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now
Shin: 🎵Okay, let's pretend like this never happened
Like I never had dreams of being a rapper
Like I didn't write raps up in all of my classes
Like I never used to run away into the blackness
Now, let's pretend like it was all good
Like I didn't live staring in the notebook
Like I did the things that I probably knew I should
But I ain't have neighbours, that's why they call it hood
Crowd: Suke-sama!!! We love you!!!
"And Shin-san's the crowd favorite," Kei said making the others smile.
Rin: 🎵Yo, now let's pretend like I ain't got a name
Before they ever called me Spade or aka Sunarin
I'm talking back before the mixtapes
Before the videos and the deals and the fame
Before they ever once compared me to Andre (3000)
Before I ever got on Myspace
Before they ever noticed my face
So let's just pretend, and make wishes out of airplanes
Ei and Shin: 🎵Can we pretend like airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now (repeat)
Sho: 🎵And it seems like yesterday, it was just a dream
But those days are gone, they're just memories
And it seems like yesterday, it was just a dream
But those days are gone
Rain: 🎵Let's pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen
Let's pretend things would've been no different
Pretend he procastinated, had no motivation
Pretend he just made excuses that were do paper thin
They could blow away with the wind
"Marshall you're never gonna make it
Makes no sense to play the game
There ain't no way that you'll win"
Pretend he just stayed outside all day
And played with his friends
Pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend
And it wasn't time to move
And schools weren't changin' again
He wasn't socially awkward and just strange as a kid
He had a father and jis mother wasn't crazy as sh**
And he never dreamed he could rip stadiums
And just lazy as sh**
F*** a talent show in the gymnasium, b****
"You won't amount to s***, quit daydreamin', kid!
You need to get your cranium checked
You're thinking like an alien, it just ain't realistic"
Now pretend they ain't just make him angry with this s***
And there was no one he could even aim when he pissed at
And his alarm went off to wake him
But he didn't make it to the Rap Olympics
Slept through hisnplane and he missed it
He's gon' have a hard time explaining to Hailie and Lainey
These food stamps and this WIC s***
"Cause he never risked s*** he hoped and he wished it
But it didn't fall in his lap
So he ain't even here, he pretends that....
The crowd fell silent as they're shocked until they screamed Rain's name, "Waaah!! Clover-sama, marry me!!"
Kenma chuckled that made the others look at him.
"Don't laugh Kenma," Kiyomi said.
"Even us are surprised that she can rap," Hajime added.
"Damn," Kei said while he still can't believe that Rain can rap.
And Rintarou have a proud smile on his face while looking at Rain.
Aces and Kings: 🎵Airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars...
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now
Crowd: More!!!
Rain: Since the night is still young, we will sing more!!
Crowd: Yes!!!
Aces and Kings sang 3 more songs then Shinsuke looked backstage and Alex signed to sing one more song to end the night. So he tapped Rain's shoulder and put a finger up indicating silently telling her that they need to sing one more song so she nodded.
"Alright everyone, this next song will our last so hope you'll like it," Rain informed.
(Love The Way You Lie pt. 2 by Rihanna)
Rain: 🎵On the first page of our story
The future seems so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
I don't know why I'm still surprised
Sho: 🎵Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you'll always be my hero
Even though you've lost your mind
Aces and Kings: 🎵Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well, that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well, that's alright because I love the way you lie
Rain: 🎵I love the way you lie, oh
I love the way you lie
Shin: 🎵Now, there's gravel in our voices
Glass is shattered from the fight
In this tug of war, you'll always win
Even when I'm right
Ei: 🎵'Cause you feed me fables fromy our hand
With violent words and an empty threats
And it's sick that all these battles
Are what keeps me satisfied
Aces and Kings: 🎵Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well, that's alright because I love the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well, that's alright because I love the way you lie
Sho: 🎵I love the way you lie, oh-oh
I love the way you lie, oh-oh
Rain: 🎵So maybe I'm a masochist
I try to run, but I don't wanna ever leave
'Til the walls are goin' up
In smoke with all our memories
Ei: 🎵It's mornin', you wake, a sun ray hits your face
Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction (ssh)
Hush baby, speak softly, tell me you're awfully sorry
That you pushed me into the coffee table last night, so I could push you off me
Rain: 🎵Try and touch me, so I can scream at you not to touch me
Run out the room, and I'll follow you like a lost puppy
Baby, without you, I'm nothing, I'm so lost hig me
Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me
Rin: 🎵Then after that, shove me, in the aftermathnof the
Destructive path that we're on, two psychopaths but we
Know that no matter how many knives we out in each other's backs
That we'll have each other's backs, 'cause we're that lucky
Shin: 🎵Together we move mountains, let's not make mountains out of molehills
You hit me twice, yeah, but who's countin'?
I may have hit you three times, I'm startin' to lose count
But together, we'll live forever, we found the youth fountain
Sho: 🎵Our love is crazy, we're nuts, but I refuse counsellin'
This house is too huge, if you move out, I'll burn all two thousand
Square feet of it to the ground, ain't - you can do about it
'Cause with you, I'm in my - mind, without you, I'm out it
Aces and Kings: 🎵Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well, that's alright because I like the way it hurt
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well, that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
The crowd asked for an encore after their song but Rain said, "I'm sorry everyone but we have to call it a night."
"Good night everyone!!" Aces and Kings said.
"Have a safe trip home," Rain added.
They all bowed then left the stage and met Alex backstage who smiled at them. Then their friends suddenly showed up and hugged them.
Hajime have a proud smile on his face while Kei gave them their water so they started to drink.
"Sis" Rintarou suddenly called so his sister looked at him questioningly.
"What you did out there was awesome," Rintarou said.
Rain hugged him then said "Thank you, nii-chan."
"I'm proud of you all," Alex told them with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Alex-san" they said.
"Rain, you're also nervous but you did great to start the show," Keiji said with a proud smile.
"Yea, I was surprised when you talked earlier," Shoyo said.
"Shoyo should be the first one to sing but when you started, we just followed," Eita added.
"I didn't even know the song had started until I heard Rain sing, " Shoyo said again.
"I almost didn't rap but thanks to her holding my hand that I manage to rap," Rin informed.
"I was nervous about my part but Rain lightly touched my back," Shin added.
"We're all nervous but with her light touches on us, made us confident that we pulled off the show," Eita said with a proud smile on his face while looking at Rain.
"Indeed," Shin agreed with Eita.
"That's why I'm thankful that she's here," Rin said.
"And I'll always be here," Rain told them.
"Btw, Alex-san, I streamed their performance live, is that alright?" Kenma suddenly asked.
"Yes sure. It's fine." Alex said.
"How many views?" Hajime asked Kenma.
"Too many and the shares and likes are still rising," Kenma answered.
"Well then, let's call it a night. I'll see you next week," Alex said.
"See you, Alex-san" the squad said as they started to leave the stadium.
They went to their coaster so they could go home. Upon reaching their house, Keiji carried Rain cause she fell asleep and he knew that Eita's tired as he follow them to their room and Rintarou also carried Shoyo after saying goodnight to the others.
