「Ghost Boy」PAUSED

Autumn's Cousin

" Where you going? "
Kichiro asked.
" Looking for my friends. Besides, it's getting late... I should head home. "
Emiko responded. Kichiro frowned then disappeared.

Emiko ran out of the house in search of her two friends. She found them both and yelled at them.
" You guys need to toughen up! "
Autumn and Jay looked at each other then at Emiko then nodded.
" we're sorry... "
They both looked down. Emiko couldn't stay mad anymore and forgave them.

" Guys... Let's go somewhere. Let's go two places! Autumn, where's a place you want to go? "
Emiko turned towards Autumn. Autumn pondered a bit and remembered she had got some tickets for the three of them.

Autumn looked at the two girls.
" My cousin... She and her two friends started a band. I got us tickets so we can hear them... She thought it was a good experience... Because of, well.. " she smiled. " Musical reasons. Who knows what she means... "

She pulled out the three tickets from her pocket and gave them to her friends. The other girls nodded and knew where the location was. After following many streets, the girls reached Riji Racket. Riji Racket is a place where new bands preform their songs. Sometimes, record dealers go in and find their new successes at that place.

Once the three girls entered, Autumn's cousin greeted and introduced herself.
" Hello! My name is Aiko. "

Aiko was a very pretty girl. She had short multi-colored hair. Including pink, blue, and purple. She had two clips to hold her bangs back. She had ocean-like eyes.
She pointed behind her as one girl and one boy came to stand next to her.
" I'm Daichi... Nice to meet you, I guess. "
The boy said.

Daichi was an average teenage boy. He had black hair and died a strip of it dark blue. He had green eyes and freckles.

" I'm Tamara. That's all you need to know. You're lucky you even know my name. "
The other girl said.

Tamara had long blond hair with red tips. Her hair on top was into braids and went into her normal hair. She had eyes that looked like two acorns were pasted on her face.

Each of the teenagers had an instrument. Tamara with drums, Daichi with a keyboard, and Aiko with a guitar.

The three girls headed to their seats and sat down. The group began to play and had wonderful music. As the music flowed through the audience's ears, a smile grew across their lips. After the band finished performing, they bowed and walked off stage.

Emiko heard some clapping nosies and turned to her left and no one was there. Then, she turned to her right and Autumn wasn't making any noises. Emiko was puzzled by what she heard. Then a familiar voice said something to Emiko.
" They're really good at making music, huh? Maybe they should add a singer. I've heard your friend sing... She's really good. Maybe you can get her to join the band? "
The voice said.

Kichiro appeared and Emiko jumped a bit. After realizing who it was, Emiko smiled and nodded.
" I could, but it'll be hard. But I'll try! "
Kichiro slightly smiled and looked at Emiko in the eyes.
" You're a good person... "
The boy stated. Emiko started at him for a bit and lost of her train of thought. Once he spoke again, she gave him a puzzled look.
" How do you mean? "
She asked.
" You know... You know... "
Kichiro sighed.
