Door of Dreams

Chapter 9

The girls had just finished their day of work, and were chatting in the locker room.

Mahiru smiled at Koharu, "Oh Koharu, is that the shirt you got the other day?"

Koharu nodded, "Yea, I thought I would wear it."

Laura grinned in approval at her, "Well I think it suits you."

"Right?" Yume agreed. She sighed happily, "Ah, that was so much fun! We should go again!"

"Yume," Koharu began, "we spent a lot of money, we shouldn't spend more."

Yume moaned, "I know, my wallet is way lighter."

Ako scoffed, "This is what happens when you go overboard."

"Well I only did that because we found some great deals and clothes!" Yume defended. "Also because Mahiru has a great sense of style."

Mahiru grinned, "Thank you. I enjoyed our time together as well. We should do it again."

Yume opened her mouth to agree, but Mahiru cut her off.

"Not now, I want to wear some of my new things before I get more," Mahiru said.

"Oh right," Yume giggled, "That makes sense."

Laura rolled her eyes, "Geez."

Suddenly, the door to the locker room opened, and peeked in an older girl with long blonde hair. She smiled, "Oh good, you're all dressed!" She fully entered.

"Hime!" Yume greeted happily.

"Good work today," Hime praised them. "As reward for your hard work with us," she said while pulling out an envelope, "M4 has provided tickets for you all to attend their concert this weekend."

The girl's eyes widened, but Ako was the first to leap forward, "We accept!" She shouted.

Hime laughed, handing the envelope to Ako. She then turned, waving over her shoulder, "See you girls later."

Ako swooned as she pulled out the tickets hugging them close.

Yume stared at her, "Ako sure likes M4..."

Mahiru, Laura, and Koharu deadpanned at Yume.

"S-So," Laura stuttered, changing the conversation, "are we going to go together?"

Koharu smiled, "That sounds like a good idea."

Mahiru nodded, "We can get ready at my house."

Yume glanced at her, "Are you sure?"

Mahiru nodded, "Yea. Since Asahi will be out all day with concert preparations, it won't be a worry."

Koharu clapped her hands together, "That does sound like fun!"

Yume nodded, "Definitely!"

"Okay then," Laura confirmed, "When is the concert? We should go over to Mahiru's place a few hours early."

Mahiru nodded, turning to Ako, who was in her own little world, "Ako?"

Ako jumped, spinning towards them, "What!"

Yume raised an eyebrow, "Are you okay? We were asking when the concert is happening."

Ako cleared her throat, "Oh yes. Saturday at six pm." She read.

Mahiru nodded, "So how does two pm sound?"

"That should be enough time," Laura agreed.

Mahiru pulled her bag over her shoulder, heading for the exit, "Great. I'll text you all the address later."
