June 24, XXXX

It was a rainy day, the sky was dark filled with clouds; raining pouring out and of course... A boy standing by with his umbrella. His name is Tsukasa Tenma, a Second Year. He has blonde hair with peach tips at the end. He has a nice body feature and pretty face... But unfortunately, he's not smiling at all; he looked depressed.

"What does life have to offer?" Tsukasa whispered to himself. The rain continues to drop on his clear, transparent umbrella; he remembers everything clearly. What happened to his supposedly part time job, his sister, his "friend."

One month ago...;

There was a park; it has stage! But to go there; you had to go through all the green bushes and trees. You'll see a short girl with pink hair and pink eyes, she's a bundle of energy. "Tsukasa!! Will this help for the show?" says the pink haired girl, her name is Emu.

"Well..." Tsukasa frowned but tried to brighten the mood but someone spoke up before he could; "Unfortunately no." Said a boy with purple hair and some strands of cyan hair. He was rather tall compared to Tsukasa; his name is Rui - the Director of Wonderlands x Showtime. Along there was a girl with long, green hair... She was rather the quiet type. Her name is Nene.

The four were a group of friends who wanted to form fantastic shows but well; they weren't really lucky lately. They had to do their best to make the show a success or else the stage would be gone.

Emu's family were the owners of the park, in which she had a deal if she got people to like the old stage, the stage would stay. If they failed within the week... The stage will be gone and replaced with a new ride. - Emu didn't want that so she and her friends tried their very best to have a successful show and make everyone enjoy it at it's finest.

While Emu and Nene were getting ready for the stage and props; Tsukasa decided to walk backstage to see Rui - he was getting ready and checking the script before starting. "Will this finally work well?" Rui whispered to himself, in which Tsukasa heard and answered "I hope it will this time!"

Rui gasped and chuckled a little, seeing the blonde boy "Fufu... If it is the World Future Star~ did you need something, Tsukasa-kun?" Rui said, wanting to light up the mood. Tsukasa smiled warmly as he gave Rui a hug... The two boys hugged each other before the two girls call them.

"Rui... Whatever happens, I'll always be your friend." Tsukasa said, continuing to hug Rui.

"Tsukasa-kun... I.." Rui got interrupted by Emu shouting 'WONDERHOY!' meaning, they got to get back up the stage. The two stopped hugging as they went up to perform.

During the performance;

The four performed with all they could, but unfortunately... The audience weren't focused at all! Some where already talking to one another, some even found the show boring. Rui added up some energy on narating as everyone else did what they could. But no one pay attention...

Emu's brothers arrive a few hours later and talked to Emu. Unfortunate news; the stage is now out of order. Everyone in the group were disappointed and realized that they failed to reach their goal on making the best show they ever could. Emu tried cheering everyone up by saying they can still try again, but Tsukasa spoke up "How can we try again?! The stage is gone!"

Emu, Nene and Rui went complete shock seeing their 'star' shouted. "Tsukasa-kun...?" Rui silently said to himself.

"We can't try to make another show anymore, did you see the audience?! THEY WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION AT ALL!" Tsukasa continue to yell as Rui tried to calm him down, unfortunately it didn't work well. Nene wanted to help but she already knew it would be useless so she stayed silent and comforted Emu.

"Calm down, Tsukasa-kun! You don't have to yell at Emu!" Rui yelled back. The two boys fought each other as the two girls just silently watched. "How can I calm down?! The stage is gone! We can't perform any more shows... You can't direct anymore!" Rain started pouring out of the clouds as Tsukasa realized his words hurt everyone, especially Rui - "Rui I..." Tsukasa tried to speak things out as Rui walked out. "Rui!" Everyone shouted but failed, Rui left.

Everyone packed their things and took their umbrellas. Emu walked with her bodyguard and ride her car home. Nene and Tsukasa decided to walk out of the park together. "Nene, please check Rui for me... You two are neighbors after all.." Tsukasa asked Nene as she nods meaning she understood.

Tsukasa walks home, tired - his parents greeted him 'welcome back' and of course Tsukasa politely thank them. "So Mom, Dad... How is Saki?" Tsukasa asked. But unfortunately, his parents stayed silent and tried to change the topic. In which made Tsukasa even worried than earlier.

"... How is Saki? How is everyone? How is Rui?..." The blonde boy kept thinking to himself, worried all night and waiting for answers.

Timecheck, 2:00AM

Chat Setting (💬)

Tsukasa was lying down his bed, looking at his phone's screen and waited for updates about the group. He felt exhausted but he wanted to stay alert and know how's his friends are... especially that special someone.

A notification popped up, it was from the groupchat "Wonderhoy!!" Tsukasa immediately pressed the notification and read.

Emu 💬: Hello everyone, I'm sorry about earlier... We weren't able to do the best show today but hey!!
Emu 💬: We can still dream big!

Nene 💬: Emu...
Nene 💬: Thanks for brightening up the mood..

Emu 💬: Awwww, Nene is happy now!!!

Nene 💬: Yeah... Thank you.

Tsukasa chuckled a little and decided to chat.

Tsukasa 💬: Hey everyone! Are you all doing alright?

Nene 💬: I'm okay now. Sorry for failing...

Tsukasa 💬: It's okay, Nene! I should be apologizing for yelling earlier..
Tsukasa 💬: Emu's right! We can still dream big.

Emu 💬: Everyone... Thank you for still helping me despite failing. We can still dream big!

Tsukasa 💬: By the way...
Tsukasa 💬: How's Rui?

Nene 💬: ...

Tsukasa 💬: Nene?

Emu: Maybe he's already asleep??

Nene 💬: Yeah, maybe...

Tsukasa 💬: Speaking of sleep, you two should get some sleep! You still have a big day tomorrow.

Emu: But I still want to chat!!! 😭

Nene 💬: Oh well, goodnight everyone.

Emu 💬: Aww fine, goodnight!! 🥰

Tsukasa 💬: Goodnight!

Tsukasa turned off the screen of his phone and stared at the ceiling, he's still worried about for both his sister and Rui. "Why aren't my parents telling me how's Saki? Why didn't Nene answer me about Rui?" He thought as he tried to fall asleep.

The next day...

Tsukasa wakes up and gets up from his bed, he looked at his phone and saw a notification from Nene - he quickly opened it.

Nene 💬: About Rui...
Nene 💬: Meet me at school, after class..

Tsukasa 💬: Why not tell me now?
Tsukasa 💬: Nene??

Tsukasa turned off his phone and sighed, worried about what's going to happen for the day. He looked at the mirror and tried cheering himself up. "Don't worry, Tsukasa Tenma! Everything is going to be alright! ...right?"

A few minutes later... As Tsukasa gets dressed, he goes downstairs and sees his Mom crying; looking at a photograph of Saki when she was young. Tsukasa immediately run to his Mom and asked "Mom?! What's wrong?! DID SOMETHING HAPPEN TO SAKI?" Tsukasa yelled as his Mom burst into tears. "Saki... didn't make it."

"Saki... What?"
