Summary: It's been 10 years since Yuto has seen his childhood friend/ first love. Everyday, he would go to their favorite place in hopes of her return. One day he sees a familiar looking girl. After a closer look, she is in fact his friend he's been longing to see. But she doesn't know who he is at all. Is she really his childhood friend? Or did she just forget?

“MIMI~!” she heard after school. Mai approached her, “I'm soooo tired. Classes were so boring today.” She nodded as they headed out of the school, “I know. I think I failed that quiz we took... I totally blanked out.” Mai pouted, “Yea, but... you at least know Japanese.... think about how hard it is for me! I'm barely understanding it!”

“haha, don't worry. You'll get the hang of it eventually.” she stated. “Oh. I need to pick some stuff up before I head over to the club. Are you gonna head home already?”

“I've got nothing else to do...” she stated. “Do you need some help?” She nodded and handed Mai some cash, “I need to head over to the club because we've got a lot to discuss before the JUMP concert this weekend. We'll be having a long meeting so I wanted to get some snack we could munch on during the meeting. Would you mind getting some and bringing it over?”

“No problem.” she beamed. “You can count on me.”

“Thanks.” Misa said. “I'll see you there then.”

“Wow... this is one big building...” Chiaki said as she stared at the club building. Keito, Chinen, and Hikaru nodded as they entered the building. They saw a women at the front desk as she soon spotted them, “Wow... more JUMP members?! This is the most celebrities I've ever seen here. I'm Yuina. Can I help you all with something?”

“Yea, we wanted to visit the fan club!” Hikaru smiled.

“I'll take you there now.” she told them as got up and left her desk. Chiaki asked, “Actually we also wanted to take to … Misaki.. the vice president.”

“Oh, you're here for her? Haha so she did bring more JUMP members. The girl has quite the skills if she can bring celebrities to the club she's running.” she stated. “Misa's not here yet. She should be on her way though. You wouldn't mind waiting a few minutes would you?”

“That's no problem.” Keito said. She opened up a room as she looked inside, “I guess none of the girls are here yet... I'll make sure none come in until after you've talked with Misa alright?” They nodded as Chinen said, “Thanks Yuina.” She nodded, “Anytime--”

“Yuina!” they soon heard as she smiled, “Good timing. Here comes Misa now.” They all looked out the door as the girl suddenly stopped running. She beamed, “3 more members?! Wow~ Our club is getting really popular with you guys!” She then say Chiaki as smiled, “Hi, I'm Natsume Misaki. Misa for short. I'm the HSJ fanclub's vice presdient. Are you a new member of our club?”

“Ah, no...” she replied. “I'm with the guys. I'm Yuto's best friend.”

“Really? That must be fun. Haha, fooling around with these guys all the time and going to concerts.” Misa giggled. She shrugged, “Every now and then its fun... but these guys can get annoying. You know boys...”

“Haha, yea.” she smiled. “So are you all just visiting?”

“Yea! We wanted to see the fan club and meet some fans!” Chinen smiled.

“Well you're welcome to come by anytime. All the girls would be glad to see you. They should be arriving shortly.” she stated as she looked at her watch. “Um, well since your here, you wouldn't being interview would you? The girls love talking to you guys.”

“No problem.” Keito smiled.

“Although... can we ask a favor in return?” Chiaki asked.

“Sure, what is it?”

“Would you come with us afterwards to the JUMP rehearsal? Yuto's been wanting to talk to you lately, but you haven't been answering his calls.” she explained as Misa responded, “Oh. My phone's dead and I lost my charger... I need to get a new one... But sure I'll go. I don't think I can stay long, but I wouldn't mind going.”

“Great. We're all set then.” Hikaru smiled. “Now bring on the fangirls~!”

“Yum... Misa had better hope that I don't eat all these..” Mai smiled as she looked into the grocery bags filled with juices, cupcakes, and cookies. As she stared happily at them, she didn't take notice of where she was walking... or who she was walking into.

“Ah, sorry...” she said as she bumped into someone, knocking each other down Worried, she got up and helped the other person up as he said, “Ah! It's you! Don't you touch me!” He backed away as she stared and lit up, “Ah! You're the girl from before!” He glared, “I AM NOT A GIRL! You're so stupid if you can't see I'm a guy!! And watch where you're going!”

“Me?! Why don't you?!” she responded angrily.

“I'm not the one with my head in a grocery bag!” he shouted at her. “Look at where you're going and you won't bump into people.”

“Really, then why did you bump into me?” she raised an eyebrow. “Obviously you aren't watching where you're going...” He thought, “I- Well... You-”

“See... not a good explanation.” she smiled in victory as he glared, “Whatever... I don't have time for annoying brats like you.” She screamed back, “Annoying brat?! Have you looked in a mirror?! You're the only annoying one here!” He headed off ignoring her as she screamed mad, “Urgh! That 'cool' guy routine pisses me off even more! You annoying idiot!!!” She stormed off angrily towards the club.

“Hey, so how often do you go to England?” one of the Keito fans asked him. He smiled, “Every couple years, but we don't stay for very long.” Kimiko asked, “What kind of exercises do you do before a concert?”

“Just some stretching and a few vocal warm-ups.” he answered. Meanwhile, Chinen was playing around with the girls and showing them some tricks he could do. And Hikaru... well...

“Ne~ How does it feel to be the most beautiful girls in the world?” he flirted with the girls as they giggled. Mia, who was watching all them from afar, rolled her eyes, “Boys...” She sat alone by the door as she sighed, “Yumi... when are you gonna show up again... leaving me with all these boring losers... Its so dull without you...” She turned to the back to see Misa talking to JUMP's friend, Chiaki.

“So how long have you been in Japan, Misa?” Chiaki asked as all the girls were questioning the three JUMP members in separate groups. She answered, “Well I was born here, but transferred to America when I was about 6. My dad got a job there. And I recently came back almost three months ago.”

“Wow, so its been quite some time since you been here. Everything here is probably different huh?” she wondered as Misa nodded. Chiaki thought, “Hey, maybe we can hang out some time and I could show you all the fun new places you've been missing.”

“That sounds like fun. I'd love to join.” she beamed. Chiaki took out her phone, “Let me have your number. I'll call you up some time for us to hang out. After you get your new charger of course.” Misa nodded and gave it to her.

“MIMI!” she soon heard as someone ran in.

“Mai, what's wrong?” she said as her best friend groaned, “Urgh... there was this annoying idiot I ran into! He pissed me off...” She sighed, “Girls, why don't you give the boys a break? Mai brought some sweets for all of us. You boys can have some too.” They all went for the sweets as Misa turned to Chiaki, “I'll be back in a little while.” Chiaki nodded

“Mia... mind watching over them?” she asked as she and Mai headed towards the door.

“Not much to watch... but whatever.” she said and headed over to get a snack.

“So what happened?” Misa asked as they stood outside the door.

“This annoying idiot starts yelling at me because he bumped into me and said it was my fault! He wasn't watching where he was going!” she said annoyed. Misa thought, “So did he purposely bump you and then blame you?”

“Well... no. we were both dazing out I guess...” she thought. “But he was still blaming me for it and he called me stupid! He's such a jerk!”

“Why would he call you stupid?! He doesn't know you, what gives him the right to say that!” Misa wondered surprised.

“... Well I thought he was a girl when I first met him... so that kinda got him angry...” Mai thought as she sighed, “Mai... did you even apologize to him?” She thought, “Um... no... but he really did look like a girl! I couldn't help but compliment him, but he got mad.”

“Well you would get mad if someone called you a guy right?” Misa raised an eyebrow.

“Of course! I look nothing like a guy!” she responded. “But he had long hair. Very girl like.” Misa rolled her eyes, “Well, just forget about him for now... I'm sure the sweets will get your mind of that jerk. Besides what are the chances of meeting him again?”

“I dunno, Mimi... but this was like the second time I ran into him...” she thought.

“Well, maybe if you apologize for the mistake you made, he won't be a jerk to you.” she suggested.

“No way! I'm not apologizing to him! He's a jerk! He has to apologize for calling me stupid first. Then maybe I'll apologize.” she pouted. Misa sighed, “Alright... let's just hope that you two won't run into each other anymore.”

“That sounds like a good plan.” she said. “Now come on. I want some sweets~!”

“Haha, alright.” Misa giggled. “Oh, and by the way. I'm gonna go with the JUMP members after the club... I guess one of them wants to talk to me.”

“Oh~ Is it that Kei guy who keeps flirting with you?” Mai teased her. “He seems really into you. You two would make a cute couple~!” She blushed a bit, “No we wouldn't... stop playing around...”

“I'm not! Seriously! You would be cute together! He seems really into you... and don't you like him to?” she asked. Misa thought, “I'm a fan of him... but I just met him a month ago... I'm still not sure how I feel about him. He's a great friend, but... that's all right now... I'm still getting to know him, so my feelings aren't for sure yet.”

“Really? I think he's really sweet...” Mai smiled. “Did I mention he came by the house yesterday?”

“He did?!” she said shocked. “Why was he there?! When yesterday?!”

“Haha, while you were at the store. They were there when Haruka ran out.” she tried to remember. “Not sure why they were there though... I was kinda focused on where Haruka was going.”

“They?” she questioned as Mai nodded, “He was there with another guy. Not sure who he was though...” Misa thought, “I'll ask him about it later.”

“Mind if I come along?” Mai asked.

“Yea, come. Just don't tease me about Kei.” she smiled as Mai giggled and they headed back into the room.

“Alright, girls. That's all the time we have for today.” Misa said as she looked at the time. The girls groaned sadly, “Awww....” When Hikaru said, “Don't worry girls~! We'll definitely visit again.” They cheered happily as Kimiko said, “Misa, I have no idea how you do it~ But keep working your magic! You'll definitely get all of JUMP to be here one day right?”

“I'll try my best too.” she smiled. The girls slowly left while waving goodbye to the JUMP members as Chiaki said, “So, ready to go?” Misa grabbed her stuff and nodded, “Yup. What about you Mai?”

“Ready~!” she smiled happily as they left with her and the boys.
