| Ayumu walked into the cafe with his guitar case in hand. He inhaled deeply the scent of coffee and listened intently to the sounds of quiet laughter and relaxed chit-chat. He walked to the stage and began setting up. The cafe got quiet as he tuned his guitar. He played a little practice before singing one of his original songs... "Hey everyone..." he spoke into the microphone. The cafe responded with it's gentle silence, so he continued. "Ima gonna play a little original tonight..Behind the Mask." The cafe went quiet as he began... | |

| Natsumi so happened to dance in when she heard an angels voice. She froze for a moment and just listened. His voice was as sweet as honey in her ears. She felt like she wanted to jump on the stage and sing with him. Instead, she simply danced to the table like a drunken zombie and sat down. She looked up at him and smiled sweetly as he sang to her- well the crowed. In her mind he was singing to her. | |

| Although Ayumu had started out singing with his eyes closed, his head bobbing gently with the tune whe was playing, he sensed that someone was watching him more closely than the others. He opened one eye and saw what appeared to be a little gypsy sitting at one of the tables closest to him. She had a relaxed look on her face and was swaying and moving a little. He smiled and nodded to her, motioning with a jerk of the head for her to come join him. | |

| Natsumi's eyes widened in supprise and she stood up. She stood still for a moment and then slowly danced onto the stage, looking at him. She smiled at him in daze and felt herself starting to move with the rhythm. She was blushing like a mad woman, so she turned so he couldn't see her face to well. | |

| Ayumu continued to play as he watched the girl dance. When the song was over and the clapping subsided and then cleared is throat. "Anybody have any requests?" Nobody answered so he looked at the little dancer. "What about you?" he smiled warmly and played a little riff from another one of his original songs to keep his fingers busy. | |

| Natsumi blushed more and nodded her head. "How about "Dont Stop Believin" by Journey?" She said in a low shy voice. "I love that song a lot." She walked over to him and looked at his guitar. It was so beautiful and unique. Not like him though. He is very unique and well...hot. She looked out at the crowed and some of the ladies out there were glaring at her like they wanted to jump on the stage and kill her slowly and painfully. | |

| Ayumu began right away playing the song. He winked at the girl and looked out over the crowd before taking a deep breath...
"Just a small town girl Livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train Goin' anywhere Just a city boy Born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train Goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room A smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching In the night Streetlights, people Livin' just to find emotion Hidin', somewhere in the night
Workin' hard to get my fill Everybody wants a thrill Payin' anything to roll the dice Just one more time Some will win Some will lose Some were born to sing the blues Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching In the night Streetlights, people Livin' just to find emotion Hidin', somewhere in the night
[Instrumental Interlude]
Don't stop believin' Hold on to the feelin' Streetlights, people Don't stop believin' Hold on Streetlights, people" | |

| By the end of the song, Natsumi felt like she was going to faint from all the dancing and his voice. "You are really good." She whispered to him and only him. She jumped down from the stage and walked over to the counter and bought two bottles of water. She walked back over to the stage and handed a bottle up to him, while she took a sip of her own. | |

| When the song was finally finished, he was sweaty and kind of disheveled, so when the little dancer handed him a bottle of water, he thanked her and accepted it right away. "Thanks little D." he said the words in a whoosh of breath as he leaned back and guzzled bout a quarter of the bottle. When he looked back up, the crowd had returned to their usual chat which meant that his performance was over. He was secretly quite happy that it was. He stood and put his guitar away. "Well, little dancer, you're quite a sight when your twirling around like that!" he said with a smile. | |

| Warm, her cheeks were so warm. She wanted to lean over and kiss him but she knew that wasn't the best thing to do. "Thank you..." Was all she said to save herself from embarasment. She took another sip of water and then closed the tid up tight. "You are really good with your guitar and your voice...god-like." She said with a smile and blushed more. | |

| Ayumu found himself blushing a little at the girls words, so he took another swig of water to try and hide it. "God-like? Me?" he laughed a little. "Thanks, but I'm no god. Just plain old Ayumu, Song of the Sun." he smiled. He reached out a hand. "So do you have a name too? Or are you a magical mystery girl?" he chuckled a little at his own joke. | |

| She blushed so much that she knew he could see it. "My names Natsumi." She said in a normal voice and smiled at him. "A lot of people call me little dancer because im a dancer...and i dance teacher. My mom own a studio...my dad owns a music studio where he does music lessons... So i know a bit about singing." She looked down so he couldn't see her blushing face. | |

| "Well, I could see you being a dance teacher for sure. You've got very nice moves, very fluid and soft. And you know singing too? That's quite a bit of talent!" He motioned for her to follow him. "I'm going to head into the back room and tune my guitar a little. I think I knocked it out of tune. But that would be the place for someone," he paused and cleared his throat. "to sing to me if they wanted to." He grinned and walked through the tables to the back room. | |

| She followed close behind him. "Sing? I...I dont know..." Fear started to overtake her. What if he thought she was bad? "What do you want me to sing...?" She asked in a low voice. She walked into the back room and stood in the door way, just looking at him in wonder. He seems like a nice guy. He wouldn't hurt her feelings and he would tell her the truth about her preformance. | |

| Ayumu sensed how nervous Natsumi was, and smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna bite your head off, I bet you're a wonderful singer. What do you feel comfortable singing?" he asked, sitting down to tune his guitar a little bit. "I'll even provide the music if it's a song I know." he offered. | |

| Natsumi sat down next to him but still giving him some space. She thought for a moment and then she opened her mouth to speak but she was afraid to. She got her courage back in a second or two. "How about the song..."hell" by Tegan and Sara?" She asked in a shy voice, still blushing. | |

| " 'Hell'? That was the first song I learned. Brings back good memories!" He chuckled. Then he looked over at Natsumi. "I'll start playing now, so warm up your vocals." He began moving his fingers effortlessly over the frets and plucking each string with real meaning. When it got time for Natsumi to sing, he glanced over at her and nodded. | |

| Natsumi looked back over to him and nodded back. She took in a deep breath and let her instincts take over from there. She felt like she wanted to dance so she stood up and moved with the music.
No I’m not ready for big bad step in the direction No I’m not ready for downtown trash before collection
For blocks run and hide Don’t walk around at night City scape city change before they die For blocks such a mention in a song If I want to get along to change who doesn’t want to change this I know you feel it too These words get overused When we get up and over it and over them Up and over it and over them I know you feel it too It all seems so untrue When you get up and over it and over them No we’re not ready for fair distribution Just determine the solution for No we’re not ready for hell hell no for hell hell no For days wide awake wide slide along and say Goes afraid go to change just move away For days that I mention in a song move along Get ahead get a hand to bring home with you I know you feel it too These words get overused When we get up and over it and over them Up and over it and over them I know you feel it too It all seems so untrue When you get up and over it and over them For ways to remove all the bad that we do From the heart and the soul of the city side and cold For ways to collect what we say and what we save To discard and discover a brand new way I know you feel it too These words get overused
When we get up and over it and over them Up and over it and over them I know you feel it too It all seems so untrue
And you get up and over it and over them up and over it and over them I know you feel it too These words get overused
When we get up and over it and over them Up and over it and over them I know you feel it too It all seems so untrue
And you get up and over it and over them | |

| Ayumu finished up the last chord and put down his guitar. He looked at Natsumi with wide eyes. "That. Was. Awesome!" he extended a hand towards Natsumi. "I'd like to see you get somewhere with those vocals and moves. Keep on truckin' Little Dancer!" and with that he began packing up his guitar. If she chose to follow him that was great, if she chose to stay, that would be okay too. | |

| "It was really nice meeting you... I really hope you get somewhere big with your music." She smiled at him and then took out a piece of paper and a pen and scribbled something down neatly. "Here is my number and address. I live in the island of Ayaka. The city of Wakana. So...if your ever around you could stop by and say hello." She said in a shy but disappointed voice because he was leaving. | |

| Ayumu looked up and accepted the piece of paper. "Thank you, and I'll be sure to drop in sometime." He smiled, picked up his guitar case and began to walk out. He stopped in the doorway and turned around. "And if you ever want to stop by the cafe and dance, I work here everyday at different times. So just stop by every once in a while. If you want." He added with a smile. He walked away feeling a sense of worry that the girl would not be there the next day... | |

| "I sure will come by some time. Thanks for making my day so wonderful." She said as she talked out and embraced him in a hug. She stood there hugging him for a few moments and then she let go. She blushed deep red and looked down. "I am sorry. I couldn't help myself." She said as she walked in front of him and started for the exit. | |

| Ayumu caught her on her way out and gave her a hug back. "Please, don't be sorry. I haven't been hugged in a long time. It's good to be hugged." He released her and looked straight into her eyes before smiling and grabbing his guitar. He walked out into the street, feeling a little sad that he had left. | |

| Natsumi frowned as she watched him go. She felt a little unsteady on her feet. She stood there for a moment and then she walked out of the cafe and toward the boat that will take her home to Wakana to go home and get ready for the next day.~ | |
