6 Chapter 6
Mirai's POV
I have nothing to say, the bearded guy wants my signature. but obviously, I said yes, he's the first person who asked for my signature!
"Of course!" I said.
"Wait, can you please put my name too? I'm Danky,"
"Sure," I said and signed it.
"Thank you! The lift arrived," he said to me.
We went in. I saw the numbers on the lift.
"Danky? How many floors does this building have?" I asked.
"159 floors," he answered.
"Wow, that's a lot," I gushed.
"Yup, we arrived Mirai. Once again, I'm really grateful for your signature. I became your fan just a few days ago. Your scene with Nijino Yume was absolutely fabulous. I don't want to mention this but you're acting is even better then Nijino Yume's, please don't tell her this," he gushed.
"Danky? Of course, I won't! You're the first person who've ever asked me for my signature, and you're my friend! Please call me if you ever have something you want to ask!" I said handing him a note with my phone number on.
"Of course," he said. "Let's go out the lift now, we are kind of late," he said.
I looked at my watch it was 4:05.
"Let's go," I said.
Danky led me to a door with the name Lumine Higa bolded with gold on a frame.
"Knock the door, please. I'll take my leave now," Danky told me.
"Thanks for everything," I said.
I knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Yelled Lumine.
I opened the door.
"Mirai! You're 6 minutes late," he yelled, his expression very different from yesterday.
"I'm so sorry, I have been chatting to one of your guards, but it's my fault. I should have told you earlier," I said.
"It's okay, it's your first time, everything makes mistakes!" He said cheerfully, the old Lumine came back.
"So, Mirai, today you're here to take an audition," he said.
"An audition?" I asked.
"All the staff here will asses you. There is dancing, singing and acting. You will have to pass all of it to become an idol, it will not be easy,"
"Ok, I will try my best," I said.
"Good, follow me," he said.
He typed something on his laptop and his bookshelf became a door. He got out a key and opened it. I followed him inside and saw 10 staffs sitting on a blue diamond chair with notes on the table in front of them. The room looked like a conference room but much bigger.
"Mirai, please stand in the middle," he said and walked into a deep dark blue rolling chair in the middle of the 10 staffs.
"Ok," I said.
"These people will assess you, and me of course," he said.
"So would you please dance this song called Major minor magic?" A man next to Lumine asked.
"We will show you a video of it and try to remember it in 2hrs. We will watch you practice," a man with long hair said.
They showed me a video of a Nijini Yume dancing. She really was awesome. Her dance was good, but I see some mistakes, obviously I didn't tell them, still, she was awesome. Her movements came into my mind. I thought u didn't, but I blurted it out.
"She has some mistakes. Her pitch is too low at the point where she sings 'miracle life' and at the end, she almost tripped," I said.
"I knew it, you can see her mistakes. Now you can repeat this video for as much as you can and try to dance the same way as Yume. if you can sing too.
"Umm, can I start?" I asked.
"Excuse me, did you just say you wanted to start?" Another man asked.
"Yes," I said.
"How is that possible! You just watched it for 1 time and now you're saying you can sing and dance it?" the long hair man screamed. Everyone else also started yelling except Lumine.
"Guys, calm down, let's just see how she does," Lumine said.
"Can you blast the music for me?" I asked.
"Of course," a man said.
I remembered what Yume did and I copied her. Her steps and her pitch.
I was breathing heavily, in the end.
I looked at Lumine and the others.
"Was I good?" I asked.
Clap clap clap.
"Fascinating, a girl who can perform everything just the same with just watching the video once," the long hair man said.
"I don't think this audition needs to keep on going," Lumine said. "Mirai, you pass. Guys, you may leave,"
"Yes boss," they said.
"Mirai, come here," he said.
"Yes?" I asked.
"We actually recorded what you did live to the world. I'm sorry, I wanted to show the world how awesome you are. The auction was not necessary, but I just wanted to promote you," he said.
"Thank you, that means a lot," I said.
"You are awesome Mirai, let's start with a meeting with your manager. Let's get out of this room first. We went back to his office. There standing was 1 man in black suits.
"They will be your managers, when I'm not free, I will also be your manage," Lumine said.
"I'm Troye, nice to meet you Mirai. I heard a lot about you," Troye said.
"Nice to meet you too," I said.
"Well, you got a lot of offers, people created fan groups for you. Your acting was fabulous in Yume's show, people became your fan right away," Lumine said.
"Yes, I know that," I said.
"So as the manager we believe that you should compose a song," Troye and Lumine said.
"Wow! Of course! It will be my pleasure too!" I said.
"Let's go to your private lesson room I prepared," Troye said.
"We are at the lesson room now," Lumine said.
"Its gigantic," I gushed.
"Yes, you're going to be famous in the future, we have to let you practice as much as possible, so what theme do you want your song to be?" Troye asked.
"I want it to be a song that shows that I want to be a idol," I said.
"That's a good idea!" Lumine said.
"Can I try singing it?" I asked.
"What? You already thought of it?" Troye asked.
"Yes," I replied easily.
"When?" He asked.
"Just now," I said.
"WHAT?!" He said.
"Let me explain to him later, can you sing?" Lumine said. Troye looked very confused.
I breathed in and out.

"Unbelievable, you sang a song and dance you just though of. Good thing I recorded it live on Youtube," Lumine said.
"Good thing I recorded as an MP3. I'm changing it to my ringtone!" Troye said.
"Thanks! So is this going to be my debut song?" I asked.
"Yes, we can already make CD! What is it called?" Troye asked.
"How about the Start Line? Its the start of my idol career, so," I said.
"That's a perfect name!" exclaimed Lumine.
"It's just 8:12 AM let's go to the recording studio!"
