I'm sorry to post twice in one day, but time's breathing down my neck, and I wanted to get LiveJournal caught up. So here's part 19 and 20, and tomorrow I will be posting part 21 on here AND on House of Pullip, *at the same time!* How amazing is that? haha.
__________PART 19__________
*days later*
*Trillion and Salem have entered the Sushi Bar, carrying almost everything they own.*
Rain: Wow, guys, you moving in?
Salem: Don’t joke, Rain. We might have to…
Trillion: The landlord found out Salem’s been squatting up on the 6th floor these last few months… they kicked us out.
*The girls sit at the bar*
Rain: Oh no! Salem, where will you two go now?
*There is an overall silence.*
*Salem starts to cry but tries to hide it.*
Trillion: *Comforting* Hey now, it’ll be okay… you’ll get a few more gigs and I’ll… work… an extra few nights. We can find a good place.
Rain: Here, Salem, I’ll get you a drink.
Salem: *sob*
*Salem eagerly takes the drink, and tries to stop crying, when the door opens.*
*Noriko enters the bar at a run, very happy with something*
Noriko: Hey Rain! Oh - Salem! - Trillion! GUESS WHAT!
Noriko: I just got a letter from my brother, and -- *she looks around the bar at Salem, Trillion, and all their belongings* … and -- ….
Noriko: Hey… what’s with all your stuff, Salem?
__________TO BE CONTINUED__________
__________PART 20__________
Salem: *having just finished explaining to Noriko about her living situation* So now Trill and I have no where to go…
Noriko: But, wait a minute. *looking down at the letter she brought into the bar* We can all just live together!
Salem: What are you talking about?
Noriko: My brother! He’s just written to say he’s coming to live with me, we can all look for a place together! The four of us!
Trillion: Oh, that sounds wonderful!
Salem: Are you sure we wouldn’t be imposing?
Noriko: Not at all!
Rain: *to herself* Nori’s… brother?
Rain: Oh… Oh no…
Noriko: Alright, it’s settled. I’m going to go write him back. Oh, I’m so excited!
Noriko: We’ll start apartment hunting tomorrow.
Salem: Thanks Nori-chan! Thank you so much!
Trillion: That’s great news! And now you’ll have another band member, too, Salem.
Salem: I feel much better now…
Rain: Oh dear…
Rain: I’m going to… um… I’m gonna go home. You guys can crash here tonight.
Salem: Thanks, Rain…. You okay?
Rain: *leaving* Oh, um… yes. I’m fine.
Trillion: *gets up* See, I told you things would work out.
Trillion: *sits on the bar, giggling and posing* So is Nori’s brother cute?
Salem: Not cute enough to steal you away from me.
Trillion: No one could steal me away from you.
Salem: *grabs Trillion’s hands* Not even Noriko’s mysterious musician brother?
Trillion: I already have a mysterious musician.
Salem: *blushes*
