Hello lovely readers! How are you? I'm good, thank you. First, if you want to skip all of this yapping of mine go ahead but please do read it after finish reading the chapter. Secondly, I don't know what to say, and I know I have lots of apology to make and I don't know if you'll forgive me or not, it's up to you. So, after a long, long, long of thinking of discontinuing this story or not I decided that I'm not going too, but the thing is since I'm going to be really busy starting two weeks from now, you readers just have to wait for longer and longer updates.
I know you might going to say that it's not fair because I've kept you guys on a cliffy for months and now that I've returned with this chapter I should start updating more frequently, but as I've said before I'm busy with life and trust me when I said I know how all of you feels because I'm a reader too! I know how it feels like to be left on a cliffy for months, or a year in my case as a reader, and when a chapter finally being updated but then you have to wait for a long time again until the next chapter but I know the pressure of being an author too! As all of us authors wants our readers to be happy and satisfied with our stories, but we got problem and other this that we must do besides writing stories, like me being a student I have to concentrate on my studies, so that's why I want to thank all of you for being very, very, patient with me since beginning and asks for you all to be patient with me in the up and coming future too.
I want to sincerely thank you for all of your support, likes and dislikes, reviews, alerts, for reading this bad story, ideas and I've always wanted to apologize to all of you for the late updates, and for making promises that sometimes I just couldn't keep, and for writing then updating short chapters after making you wait for a long time. *doing the dogeza*
Warnings: Lots of occ-ness, and a terribly written chapter ahead

…Hana's POV… (sorry guys no flashbacks because I lost my eleventh chapter's document)
I'm currently sitting inside my private UNIJET (A/N: Universal JETs or UNIJETs in short are planes, jets, or rockets that are used to travel from planet to planet, well in my story that is.) I don't know what planet we will be going to; Ran, Haru, and Mizuru are here too by the way; Jazz? She's my manager and caretaker of course she's here with us.
Why are we travelling to this unknown planet? Because that kusso Jiji accepted a request from his fellow movie producer; that request includes me to play the lead role of the movie that this producer is making and we're making it in another planet! Why are Ran, Haru, and Mizuru coming? Because they 'accidentally' auditioned for the other lead roles and got accepted together, get that? Aghh, lies! This is all the work of that KUSSO JIJI!
"Hahahaha! Hana, your expression is priceless!" Ran suddenly laughed,
"Hana-chan, are you alright? You kept making weird faces," Mizuru said.
"Yeah, it might be a funny sight for Ran but you're creeping me out," Haru added.
"Oh, sorry I was thinking about certain things or maybe a certain someone…" I said added with venom at the 'someone' part.
While somewhere in LA that certain 'someone' sneezed, "Someone must've been talking bad about me,"
"But really, stop making those weird faces. You're seriously creeping me out!" Haru said.
"So, you were thinking! Haha… I forgot that every time Hana goes to thinking mode, she would make weird faces," Ran said then he laughed again.
"Aghh, shut up Ran!" I threw him my cushion pillow but sadly he successfully dodged it
WHACK!
"Ouch! What was that for Jazz?!" Ran asked while rubbing his now sore head. "Ha! Serve you right!"
"Ran, stop adding fuel to the fire, and you Hana stop making more fire out of nothing!" Jazz said; she looked really pissed. Ah, I forgot she was napping. *note to self: Never ever forget to never disturb Jazz while she was napping or it could get ugly.
"Hana-chan, Ran-kun both of you is behaving like kindergartener," Mizuru said while heaving a sigh.
"Guys, we should be resting right now; I mean we still have a long way to go before we arrived to the 'final destination'"
"No we're not Mizuru, and you Haru don't quote 'final destination' that way! It's not that our final destination is the one like in 'Final Destination'" Ran said, imitating Haru when he quoted 'final destination' then he cringed, "This jet isn't going to bring us to Planet Disaster right, right Jazz?!"
"Oh Ran, actually it is… and I'm not Jazz by the way, I'm a Grim Reaper sent to take your soul!" Jazz said evilly, "What?!" Ran panicked while the three of us sweat drop.
"Of course not! What are you, an idiot? We're going to a planet -that's not certainly a planet of disaster- to shoot a movie for Mr. Rollan Shaw a fellow movie producer of the Director. Didn't he told you that himself?"
"He did? Oh, yeah he did," Ran said relieved. "How much off an idiot have you become Ran? We haven't seen each other for a year and you became an idiot at the highest level; did that Jiji really didn't give you any break, even for your studies?" I asked.
"Shut up! I forgot okay, and I don't have to worry about my studies because I've already graduated high school. Oh wait, in fact all of us, including you glutton, already graduated high school. Heh, and since when did idiots had their own level?" Ran scoffed, "Why you?!"
"Hai, that's enough!" Jazz said, "What Haru said was right, we should be resting now instead of arguing on whatever the both of you was arguing just now. Do any of you want to get jet lags? Well actually a serious case of jet lags since we're not traveling to another country, instead to another planet in another galaxy," Jazz said while rubbing her temple.
"Sorry," the four of us said.
"Good, now I've wanted to ask this question ever since your graduation; does the four of you plan to go to college?" Jazz asked, "Huh, what's with you suddenly asking if any of us wanted to go to college?" Haru asked.
"Nothing actually, I just want know what are your plans for the future; I mean, I know that all of are busy with your jobs but you guys are still young, well you're not even supposed to graduate yet seeing that all of you're still sixteen. It surprised me to know that the four of you actually skipped grades and graduated early,"
"Well that's the gift of being a genius!" Ran said proudly, "Actually, what surprises me the most is that this glutton right here," He gestured to me, "Actually managed to graduate with us," He said, disbelievingly.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" I asked, getting up from my seat glaring daggers at Ran. He stuck his tongue out at me, "Nothing, I was just stating the truth. You used to have lots of bad grades, even English and don't ask me about Math you have the worst of the worst grade at that subject."
Because what he said was true and I didn't have anything to shot back at him with, I 'humphed'.
"Ah… Hana-chan calm down!" Mizuru said, "Seriously, can the both of you just enjoy the ride with normal conversations without any arguments?" Haru asked, sighing.
"It's them we're talking about, it'll be a miracle if that actually happen," Jazz added.
"Oi!" Ran and I shouted.
"How long will it take for us to get to this planet?" Mizuru asked ignoring our protest, "I don't know, we've been in the jet for two days," Haru replied.
"We'll arrive in two days, I think," Jazz said, after that we had a silent agreement to rest. We still have a long ways to go before we arrive to this unknown planet. 'I hope it's not planet disaster though, any planet's fine except the Planet of Disaster,' Just as the name says it's a planet full of disasters!
I decided to go back to my seat, I didn't even realize that I was at the other side of the jet, and sat back down. We're going to an unknown planet that took us about four days to arrive to shoot a movie but why do I have a bad feeling about this?
When I arrived at my seat I sat and pressed my back to the cushion getting comfortable and looked outside the window. It was a very beautiful sight to see; there are stars everywhere with bright and colorful color, I could see some asteroid -smaller ones that is- passing the jet. The stars glows really bright; red and blue mixed together creating a purple glow in between.
As I continued to stare outside the window, I remembered the conversation we had with that kuso Jiji two days ago,
…Flashback…
(A/N : They'll be speaking English in this flashback because this conversation happened in LA before they went to the mysterious planet. That's why I'll be using bold italic )
"Lady Hana, please remember your manners while talking with the Director as you are not the only one who will be present at the meeting,"
"I know, I know!" I replied casually, "Lady Hana…" she said sternly.
"Fine," I said annoyed, "Lady Hana, please! You are next in line to be the head of this company; you need to have the proper manner as to not appear rude in front of the others as well! " she demanded
A sigh escaped my lips, "I understand, thank you for the reminder Linda." She nodded with a smile forming on her lips, "No need Young Lady, it's my job to help you in Jazz's stead. Since she can't be here with you, she asked me to keep an eye on you," I nodded.
"Do you know where Jazz is? I haven't seen her since this morning," I asked.
"Oh, yes! She said that she had to meet up with the Director first thing in the morning and that you might see her at the meeting too," She replied.
"Will you be attending the meeting?"
"No, Young Lady I will not. This meeting is only for those who are close to the Director and the invited as well. I'm just a mere replacement because your guardian can't be here with you but will meet you at the meeting instead," Linda replied.
"…" I've been having this bad feeling lately and as the big double doors of my father's office came to view, the bad feeling I had only got stronger.
"We've arrived Young Lady," Linda informed and I nodded muttering a quick thank you before opening one of the doors and stepped into the office.
I haven't been here for a long time, about a year and a half maybe? Why, because my father has been busy over the year; directing Ran's movie aiming to make it as successful as his other movies as well, he had always aimed for perfection.
When I stepped inside, I was greeted by the sight of two big sofas facing each other with a rectangular living room table in between and over to the wall on the right side of the room was a fireplace and on the left and right side of the fireplace was where two large bookshelves, there was a medium sized flat –screen TV on top of the fireplace; on the other wall there was a large painting inside an equally large frame hanged on the wall and there was a black desk with three little drawers and two big drawers underneath the painting. On the center in the farthest back of the room and in front of a large window with equally large double curtains was my father's desk. Oh yeah let's not forget the large crystal chandelier that was hung in the middle of the room. Overall, it's still the same as the last time I saw this room.
I was surprised to see Ran, Mizuru and Haru seated on the sofa; ran was texting away on his iPhone, Mizuru was sipping her teawith her eyes closed, while Haru was focused on reading the book he was holding. I looked straight across the room and saw my father, seated on his chair, discussing something with… Jazz?
I cleared my throat to catch their attention, "Sorry I'm late father, I was a little bit behind schedule because my manager wasn't there to help me," I said. Honestly, I resist the urge to glare at the man I just called father sitting across the room and just shout, 'What do you want from me, you kusso jiji?!' but I remembered my promise with Linda and knowing her, if she knew I broke it she'd give me an earful l later, and I don't want that!
"It's alright daughter, I understand,"He replied, seems like he's catching up. I noticed everyone, excluding my father and I, stared at the two of us shocked after hearing what we called the other with.
"What is it that you wanted to discus with me, and I thought that you wanted to talk to me alone, what are they," I gestured to Ran, Haru, Mizuru and even Jazz, "Doing here, father?" again I pressed my voice at the 'father' part.
"It's nothing to worry about, and they took parts in our discussion too daughter~," He replied, using the same tone I did at the 'daughter' part only this time he said it slowly to provoke me.
"Can we just get straight to the point?" I asked, getting a little bit impatient.
"Alright, the reason I had called you here's because I want to inform you about something," He said, "You see, my fellow producer, Mr. Rollan Shaw, had asked my permission to let you play the lead role in his new movie. I agreed of course!"
"So, you summoned me here all the way from Japan just to inform me about you agreeing letting me play a lead role in one of your colleague's movie?!" I asked disbelievingly, "Yes," he answered.
"How could you just agreed to his request like that, and without telling me first?!" I yelled, "You do know that I was busy right, that I had to cancel all of my appointment in Japan and I had to postpone and rescheduled all of my shows!" He was about to say something but I cut him off, "You summoned me here, told me about all this and expect me to just say yes? Of course not! I still have a lot to be done; I'm in the middle of making my new album, and I had only just begun planning for my next tour! What do you expect me to do? I can't just throw off my entire schedule up till now and plan a new one, what about my shows?"
"And you still haven't told me why are they," I gestured to Mizuru, Ran, and Haru, "here?" I panted a little, I didn't even know that I was talking fast that I even forgot to breathe.
"Are you done?" He asked after my little outburst, "Yes," I replied. "Have you calmed down?" I nodded.
"Are you sure you're finished, and you don't have any more to say to this?" He asked again.
"…yes,"
"Can I continue?" I only nodded in response. "Good, now where was I… Oh yes, as I was saying I had agreed to let you play the lead role in his movie, and you don't have to worry about your entire schedule because you're not changing schedule at all," He suddenly turned serious, "But I have to apologize because I couldn't do anything about your canceled show, so we just had to plan another show for you on the set, not exactly on set well you know what I mean and we'll do couple of changes on your schedule as well,"
"Alright, I'll be okay with this. What about them?" I gestured to Ran, Mizuru, and Haru.
"Ah, that's right! They accidentally auditioned for the other lead roles, and got selected to play the roles," He said with a hearty laugh, "No worries, no worries; it was just a mere coincidence!"
I looked at the said three with a face that totally said 'are-you-serious?!' They only shrugged while their eyes looked anywhere but mine. I sighed, all this information finally sinking in. So, I'll be shooting another movie huh? Well, it's been a while, I wonder if I'm still up for it; the last time I played a role in a movie was two years ago, after that my acting carrier was put on hiatus and I was able to focus on other things.
"Great! Really happy that my co-stars are someone I've known my whole life!" I said, "Was that sarcasm, Hana-chan?" Mizuru narrowed her eyes at me.
"No, no! Don't mind what I just said," I chuckled nervously. I've forgotten how much Mizuru despise sarcasm. Better put that on my mental note then!
"Hana, I know you're worried about your entire schedule and you still got an album to finish, but you don't have too. We've got it covered; you won't have to change your schedule because you're not going to drop this one," Jazz spoke for the first time since our discussion had started. "Look, you'll continue with finishing your album while you're shooting the movie, it'll be like killing two birds in one go!" that'll be adding more to my workload, I guess that's what to be expected since I've agreed to do this in the first place.
"What about my tour?" I asked, "You don't have to worry about that either! It's really fortunate that you've only started to plan your tour so we won't be having trouble with that. You will do your tour after the movie filming and your album are finished, so when the tour finally start not only will it be a promo to your album but to the movie as well and it won't only be a world tour, it'll be a Universal Tour! You'll surely be dead famous when it happens!" Jazz answered, excitedly.
However, my jaw dropped comically after I heard her last sentence, "NO, I'LL BE DEAD, DEAD WHEN THAT HAPPENS!" practically, everyone's jaw,-except my father and Jazz-, dropped comically.
"What are you saying Hana? Of course you won't die!" Jazz said, "we won't let you do this alone, I'll be there to help you, the Director might be there to help,-if he's not busy-, and they'll be there for you too!" she reassured.
"So you agree with this?" I looked at my father, he nodded.
"Is 'she' okay with this?" he already knows who I'm talking about when I said that. "She's excited for you!" He smiled.
"Who's the one that managed to convince her?" I asked
"Me of course," Jazz replied. 'Of course it's Jazz, why am I not surprised?' I asked myself.
I sigh, crossing my arms then I pinched the bride of my nose, "You won't let me say no to this are you?" They nodded, "alright, give me the contract I'll sign it," and they cheered.
"You guys are okay with this, are you all sure you won't say anything? I mean you'll be stuck with me before and after filming until the end of tour," they nodded.
"It's alright Hana-chan! I thought we won't be able to see each other for a while because of our busy schedule but when I got that call from Jazz and the Director telling me I get to play the other lead role beside you, I was so happy!" Mizuru said.
"Yeah, Hana it's fine! I'm really excited too; it's been a long time since I get to act again and we'll have more time to hang out with each other," Haru said.
"Believe it or not, I'm happy that I got to be a part of this; since it's been a long time since we get to hang out with each other again… even though I'll be stuck with you till who knows how long," Ran mumbled the last part, "I heard that!" I said.
"So, where will we be shooting our movie?" Haru asked.
"Is it Germany?" Mizuru asked.
"No," Jazz replied,
"UK?"
"No it's-," But she was interrupted by Mizuru,
"I know will it be Japan?"
"Again, no becau-,"
"Ah, is it Brazil?"
"No, you'll be-," she was interrupted by Mizuru's gasp, "Its France isn't it?!" Mizuru asked excitedly.
"No, as I was saying-,"
"Don't tell me that the set will be in the middle of the desert in Africa!" She said with the look of horror on her face.
"What, no! Where did you get the idea of shooting a movie in the middle of the desert anyway?" Jazz asked disbelieve. "Meh... wild guess," Mizuru shrugged.
"It's not going to be in any of the countries that you just said, nor is it going to be the ones that you're thinking about right now," father said.
"Then, I'm calling of that country," Haru said
"Yup, totally canceling China out," Ran said
"Russia is out of the question either," I followed. "The A-,"
"If you're suggesting the Amazon forest Mizuru, it's a no," father said, and the said girl pouted.
"Then where will it be?" Ran and Haru asked in unison
"You guys are going to another planet," Jazz said. We are going, to another planet, we are going to another planet… we are going to another… planet? Then the whole information sank in our brains.
"WHAT?!" The four of us shouted.
…Flashback End…
Well, that explains how and why we are here on the way to this unknown planet. Just when we thought that that was the only shocking new that we received another one came, we were told about it before we took off, it consisted of me and Ran having to be a 'couple' a freakin' couple as in boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.
That happens because, there's these stupid paparazzi who managed to snap pictures of me and Ran falling to the sand because of me jumping to hug him and well you all know what happened at the beach before the photosoot right? Then the photo spread like wildfire because of the stupid magazines, and all kinds of rumor about me dating Ran started. What does it have to do with me having to pretend dating Ran? It does a whole lot of it!
Since Mr. Rollan had always thought that Ran and I would make such a great couple, when these rumors about me and Ran being in a relationship reached his ears, he decides to call my father to confirm if all the rumors are true. My father, being a good father he is or at least tried too, was going to deny all of and tried telling him the truth, sadly though before all that could happen Mr. Rollan told him that if he denies and tell him that it was just a false rumors, he's going to cut all support to my father, cancel this movie because apparently he hates liars -duh, it's your own decision to believe those rumors!
My father, realizing that he's about to lose a great deal of money and a strong business partner, decides to cancel out his original plan to deny any of those rumor and agreed –what happened to 'never, ever lie to other people because the truth is always the best' thing he told me over and over?!
'So it all came down to business huh?' I sighed at the thought
The two of us are still in denials, so that's how we're able to act normally act like we've never received the news in the first place. The only people who found it interesting, amusing, and funny was Haru, Mizuru, and the one who gave the news, Jazz.
I know that all of you readers might found it interesting, amusing, and funny as well, since the author actually laughed while writing this part of the story, but let me enjoy my denial before my life as Ran's 'girlfriend' starts shall we?
Akira's author box/corner:
Akira: Yahoo, finally done! After months and months of thinking while writing a single chapter, I am finally done! *threw my hands in the air*
Hana: WHERE WERE YOU AKIRA-CHAN?!
Jazz: YES, WHERE WERE YOU EXACTLY FOR THIS PAST 7 MONTHS?!
Akira: Ugyaaa! Both of you don't startle me like that! *looks directly at Jazz and Hana* WOAH, what happened to you two? You guys looked really pale and thin, and why are you both wearing a hospital gown?
Hana: Why you ask? Because you put us in a coma for seven whole months!
Akira: Huh... what do you mean?
Jazz: So you really don't know?
Akira: What?
Hana: *sigh* Would you please tell her Jazz, I'm gonna make us some *looks over to the clock* dinner. Well would you look at that, it's 7:30 pm
Jazz: Alright, just fry some canned corned beef or something
Hana; Kay, and Akira have Raya cooked the rice?
Akira: Yeah, why?
Hana: I'm going to make fried rice mixed with the corned beef, do you want some?
Akira: Sure, I haven't eat dinner anyways. Thanks Hana, careful when turning on the stove!
Jazz: Now where were we? Ah yes, you've put us in coma for seven months, why? because you haven't update any chapter for seven months
Akira: I still don't get it
Jazz: Look many authors don't know this but every characters in the story that they're making will be put to sleep when the author are in the middle of writing a chapter and they'll wake up when the author update a chapter, get it? Thing is, we'll only be asleep for three weeks then after that if the author haven't update a single chapter we'll be in a state of coma. Do you understand now?
Akira: *speechless and eyes going wide as a plate*
Jazz: Yup, now she's out of it. Anyways, thanks for stopping by readers! Since our author here is still in state of shock, I'll be taking her place for a little bit. Don't forget to R&R, likes, or alerts? Also, keep the comments, critics and ideas coming, oh and the author would like to apologize for the short chapter, again. Bye-bye! See you in the next chapter!
Akira: *finally snaps out of it* Hey, I was supposed to tell the readers that!
And cut!
