[Danny's house, Monday, 7:00 A.M.]
*An alarm beeps as Danny sits up from his sleep and rubs his eyes after a long nights rest. He sluggishly rises from his bed and drags himself to the bathroom. An advertisement poster of an electric guitar is pinned to the wall of his bedroom. On it, circled in bright red marker, is the price of the guitar surrounded by a few question marks. His room is littered with music memorabilia including a few CDs, posters of guitars and bands, and vinyls. Inside the bathroom, he proceeds to brush his teeth and get dressed. Danny fumbles his way through the hallway into the kitchen, where he finds his mother frying some eggs.*
Danny's Mother: Good morning, my little superstar!
Danny: *While grabbing a piece of toast from the toaster.* Morning, and stop calling me little, I'm in high school now!
Danny's Mother: Whatever kid, you'll always be my little star-Hey! Sit down when you eat!
Danny: *With a mouth full of buttered toast, he grabs his backpack.* Sorry mom, gotta go.
*Danny's mother has her hands on her hips, watching Danny dash out the door. She sees Takumi and Joey waiting for him just outside.*
Danny's Mother: Those three truly are something.
*Danny walks out to see Joey with Takumi in a headlock.*
Takumi: Let go of me!
Danny: What's going on?
Joey: You took too long so I challenged Takumi to a wrestling match.
Takumi:*In visible pain* I DID NOT AGREE TO THIS!
*Danny watches in amusement as Joey finally drops Takumi to the ground, who then proceeds to dust himself off.*
Danny: Let's go, the bus will be at the stop soon.
*The three walk off from Danny's house.*
[Minami High School, Monday, 3:05 P.M.]
*A school bell rings as students begin flooding the halls from their classrooms. Among the wave of students, Danny pulls his phone out to check his emails. Just as he does, he gets an email alert that reads "Your shipment has arrived". Below is an already opened email titled "Electric guitar sales! Become the man you want to be!"*
Danny: Finally!
*Joey comes out of nowhere and almost tackles Danny.*
Joey: What ya got there? Secret admirer or somethin'?
Danny: Get off me! And no, just some package that finally shipped. I ordered it ages ago, it's finally here. I'm gonna pick it up after class.
Joey: You're not taking the bus back with us?
Danny: Nah, I'm gonna head to the studio a little earlier today.
Joey: Laaame. Well, I'll see you tomorrow then, later!
*Joey quickly turns a corner and heads towards a group of girls. Danny passes through two intersecting hallways before making it out of the main building of Minami High. Danny leaves campus in hopes of getting to his studio earlier than usual.*
[Music Studio, Monday, 3:30 P.M.]
Studio Owner: Hey there, Danny! You're here early today, couldn't wait could you?
Danny: No way! Where is it!?
*The man lifts up a large guitar case onto the counter.*
Studio Owner: She's all yours.
