"Honoka, are you okay?" asked Kotori as she opened the kitchens door and entered, with the rest of the group behind her

inside the kitchen, lent against the kitchen cupboards, they saw Honoka clutching her head, groaning to herself

"Hey Kotori, yeah I'm alright"replied Honoka, looking up at the group "Why are you all blushing?"

"That's because, well, your clothes"said Maki

"Hmm? What about my clot..."began Honoka, looking down, she saw that her top was now part way down her arms, and also see through due to the water she spilt on herself, slightly blushing herself, Honoka quickly pulled the top back up

"hmm, wait, if my top is to small, does this mean I'm finally back to normal again?" she asked

"looks that way" sighed Eri, handing her a nearby towel

Footsteps could be heard rushing from the store towards the kitchen,

Honoka's mother arrived at the kitchen to see that her daughter was on the floor, drenched, and there was a mess everywhere.

"Hi mum" smiled Honoka

"Go upstairs and get changed, I'll deal with the mess you've made" Her mother replied, helping Honoka off the ground " and no more unsupervised cooking"

"Aww mum" moaned Honoka heading towards the stairs

"Go" her mother said firmly, before turning to the other girls "would you mind waiting a bit longer, I'll try and salvage something for you to eat"

sighs of relief came from Kotori and Umi, as the group made their way back to the front room to wait for Honoka

About 15 minutes later after getting cleaned up and changing into clothes that fit her once again, Honoka made her way back downstairs and into the front room

"Hey, sorry I took so long" Honoka said

"welcome back" replied Nozomi handing her a glass "your mother brought us some drinks"

"ah, thanks" said Honoka, taking the glass "I'm glad that I'm finally back to normal"

"as we all are" said Umi "your problem has put you behind on the practices, I'm going have to work you hard to catch up"

"Awwww but Umi.." groaned Honoka

"no buts, the next round is not that far away, and we still haven't decided on where we are going to perform" said Umi

"About that" said Tsubasa" we have a proposition for you if your interested?"

"hmm, what is it?" asked Honoka

"Why don't you perform on the same stage as us?"answered Tsubasa "we are performing on the roof of our school, and we would have no problem sharing it with you"

there was a moment of silence as all but one of the members of muse where deep in thought

"WE ACCEPT" shouted Honoka quickly

"EHHH" was the response from the rest of muse

"we do?" asked Nico

"Yup, where else is better?, and think about it when are we ever going to get a chance to get front row seats to a A-rise concert, and then perform right after them"explained Honoka, before turning back to A-rise, smiling "so, we gladly accept"

still a bit shocked from the quick decision, Tsubasa quickly shook herself out of it"well then, we would be glad to have you, shall we exchange contact details so we can discuss it in more detail later?" she said, taking out her phone

"Sure" replied Honoka, following suit

after they had exchanged contact details, Honoka's mother and Yukiho walked in holding trays with the food on them

"here you go" Honoka's mother said, while handing plates to the girls "I managed to salvage the curry, it seems it was going well till you cut yourself" she finished saying while handing the plate to Honoka

"so does this mean I can cook again?" asked Honoka

"No" replied her mother

"aww" sighed Honoka "well, Thanks for the food"

"thanks for the food" said the others

after taking a few mouthfuls, Honoka started to eat a little to fast, resulting in her starting to choke, seeing that Honoka was coughing and choking, Nozomi quickly passed her a drink, which Honoka accepted gladly, quickly gulping it down, she panted a little regaining her breath

"hah... hah... that was close" said Honoka

"that will teach you for eating to quickly" said Umi staring at her

"haha..." said Honoka, sheepishly, while rubbing the back of her head

'Hiccup'

everyone stopped and stared at the source of the sound

'Hiccup' came the sound from Honoka 'Hiccup, Hiccup, Hiccup'

"you'd better not change again" said Yukiko "I prefer an older sister

"I'll 'hiccup' try 'hiccup' not 'hiccup' to 'hiccup'" stuttered Honoka

-end-

well thats it, it's been fun, writing your own stuff makes you realise that it isn't as easy as it seems, and you learn alot more too

Though reading reviews from people that liked it makes it worthwhile, and any comments on how to improve as well, because the first step is always the hardest, that and not planning anything much after the first 4 chapters makes things harder on yourself.

well anyway, I hope you had as much fun reading, as I did writing it,

so

see you next time, maybe?
