Author's Notes: I don't own Super Gals! And the song is sung and owned by Utada Hikaru.
When Saturday came Aya was busy packing her things. On Sunday she was with her friends as they went to the Mall. Of course Rei was also there. Monday had arrived as they we're in the airport. "This is goodbye?" Ran asked, teary-eyed.
"We'll be back Ran don't worry", Yuuya replied. Aya hugged Miyu and Aya.
"Take care Aya", Miyu said. Ran didn't say anything coz' she was crying.
"Take care too", Aya replied as she released from the hug. She looked at Rei. "So long Rei".
"So long…"she turned her back as she carried her luggage together with Yuuya. "…Aya", he said in a whisper. Aya looked at Rei one last time when she stepped into the escalator. She couldn't believe it…she was crying
……..
Five years had passed. And in those five years somehow Aya was a little well. She seldom coughed and she was getting stronger. She became a singer because some professionals watched her performance in school and listened to her composed songs. And now she and Yuuya will go back to Japan to have a concert. 'So this is what my dream means. The crowd cheers for me because I'm famous. And I end up crying coz' Rei and I aren't friends yet', Aya thought as she was riding on the airplane.
"Aya are you okay?" Yuuya asked, interrupting her thoughts.
"Huh? O-Oh yeah everything's fine. So have you called up Ran?" Aya asked back, changing the topic.
"Yeah and she said she'll call Miyu and Rei. And she'll invite her brother over", Yuuya replied. She nodded.
"That's good. The more the merrier. Can't wait to see them again", was all she can say and acting like she is happy.
"Hope you'll be friends with Rei, Aya", Yuuya reminded. Aya sighed and looked outside coz' she was sitting near the window.
"I hope".
……..
He woke up when his cellphone rings and that irritates him. As he looked at his watch it was still nine in the morning. Since his cellphone won't shut up and he thought it was only a missed call, he answered his phone. "Hello? Ohayou?" he said in a sleepy and lazy voice.
"Ohayou Rei!" Ran exclaimed on the other line. Somehow he smiled. "You better hurry up coz' we're going somewhere!"
"Where?" Rei asked and the meantime fixing up his bed.
"To the Mall! We're going with Miyu and my Oniichan! Aya and Yuuya will be there! Isn't that great?" somehow he wanted to drop his phone. "Rei?"
"A-Aya and Y-Yuuya will be here?" he repeated, dumbfounded. He forgot Aya was a singer. "Aya will have a concert?"
"That's right! Hurry up coz' it'll start an hour!" Ran said, hurriedly. "Oh and Rei?"
"Hai?"
"Forgive and forget okay?" Rei sighed hearing that again over a thousand times. But he's happy that his love one also value friendship.
"Sure…and I'll say it to her today. Later Ran". With that he hung-up with a smile on his face.
……..
Aya and Yuuya we're on the backstage as Aya peeped into the curtains. "Are they coming?" Aya asked to Yuuya as she was looking to the crowd. "So many people out there".
"You're that famous. I've called Ran a while ago and she said-"before Yuuya could continue his cellphone rings. "Hello? Ran! You're here already? Where?" he also peeped into the crowd and saw a gal waving at him. "Got it I see you!"
"Give the phone to Aya for a while", Ran added. Yuuya gave his phone to Aya, who has a confused face. "Aya, Rei wants to talk to you". Aya's heart wanted to stop beating at that moment.
"Hello Aya?"
"Hello R-Rei?" It's been a long time since they heard each other's voice.
"Ei ganbatte on your performance. And congratulations…you're a famous singer best", Rei replied.
"Arigatou best. I-I'm sorry", Aya confessed. So far her heart felt light.
"Same here…sorry", he also said. "Talk to you later you still have a concert you know?" she gave a slight laugh.
"Right. Later Rei". With that they hung-up as she returned his phone.
"You're friends with Rei?" Yuuya asked. She just smiled. "I guess that's a yes".
"Ladies and gentlemen. Let's welcome the new singer sensation of the year…Aya Hoshino!" the emcee announced. Aya tapped Yuuya's back as a sign of 'Later' as she went to the stage as she grabbed the microphone. Her dream was right…crowd cheers and yells for her.
"Arigatou minna-san for your support. It's been five years since I never get to visit Japan. It's good to be back. Here's a song dedicated for you guys and to my friends. Especially to my best friend. Here it goes", Aya announced as the cheers and applause grew louder.
Only sixteen kon'ya
Mujun darake no jiyuu ni
Oware nagara hashiridasu
Nan ni mo shibaretaku nai tte
Sake bi-nagarra
Kizuna motomete'ru hey
Mamorareru dake ja naku
Dare ka wo mamoritai
Give me a reason to show you
Riyuu mo naku kokoemu tabi ni
Won't you tell me why I should try to
Ashita wo mitsumeyou to shinaide
Give me a reason to love you
Subete no housoku uragitte miseru
Tatoe sore ga unmei demo
Give me a reason to show you
Furikaeri-nagara kita michi
Won't you tell me why I should try to
Mou tachidomaru koto wo osorenai yo
Give me a reason to love you
Honto wa wake nante iranai
Kodomo-mitai ni koe wo agete
Hashirou
Aya waved at Rei as Rei waved back at her, with a smile on their faces. No words need to express that they're sorry…coz' they regretted it on the first place…and as Aya continues her song.
End.
