A new idol sensation!

[9tailedtemptress]

It had only occurred recently, but almost overnight the streets rumored of a new pop idol. Describing someone who would fit in under the meta-humans that attended the school, some were a bit wary and yet still curious. Soon enough however, you'd be able to see who exactly they were talking about in small clubs or cafes. The woman had a very alluring energy about her and her personality was befitting of the cheery and popular music sensations. Fox features could easily be seen and the nine tails swaying behind her only added to the fun environment that seemed to permeate around her. Playful, friendly and a total tease, it seemed like she was very well liked whether young or old.

After her performance she ventured back unto the streets, now in her more natural colors instead of the bright pinks, it didn't seem like she minded all the attention that followed.

The funny thing about Pop Idols was how quickly fans of one could become either great fans of another or bitter haters, angered at the spotlight being shifted from their teenie-bopper pop star du jour.

Sonny was almost NEVER in the second camp.

He was a true Beiver Believer, of course. Justin was his favorite artist of All Time. All time. But still, Ahri was a definite talent and he loved her songs!

As she walked past one café, she might have heard some familiar chords being strummed on a Ukulele. Sonny was sitting outside, trying to practice her most recent hit. Not terribly, either - he was getting way better at playing by ear. It wasn't like he had sheet music for her songs or anything!

So, if she'd be interested in chatting with a fan who was trying to play one of her best songs while eating way too much cake? Here's her opportunity.

[9tailedtemptress]

One of her songs being played, and not by radio, did indeed catch her attention as she passed by. First her ears flicked and stood attention as they picked up the tune and it caused her to pause. A smile rose on her face and she made her way to the cafe as she looked for the source and once finding it, she sauntered over with a cheery disposition.

"Hey there~!" She greeted.

[punchtheflute]

"Hello!" Sonny replied. He didn't recognize her at first, because she wasn't wearing her stage getup or anything. No bright pinks or blonde locks. She was super pretty, though! And she had all those tails - maybe she was a Ninetales?

"I hope my playing wasn't bothering you?"

He didn't think so, but if she was trying to have some quiet time, he could just concentrate on all his cake.

[9tailedtemptress]

"Of course not," Ahri began as she took a seat on the nearby table. "By all means, continue. It was nice~" she mused.

Had he not figured it out? These kinds of things always excited her and she smiled. She'd give him some 'backup' singing if he continued. See how he reacted.

[punchtheflute]

"Oh! Thank you!" he replied, a little surprised that she liked it that much. "I'm still learning it on the Ukulele, but I've been listening to it non-stop for probably a week, haha!"

It was true. Just ask his roomie.

He started to strum again, taking it from the top. He put a little more effort into it, being as he apparently had an audience now. It wasn't perfect - he was still comparatively new to the instrument as a whole. But he was doing his best anyway!

[9tailedtemptress]

We all had to start somewhere right?!

Ahri didn't mind it at all and would sing as best as she could to match his pace. It was pretty pleasant regardless.

[punchtheflute]

Strum strum strum and... wait...

He kept playing. But his jaw grew a little slack as he heard her - really heard her - singing along. That voice and those tails and that pretty face and...

"...ohmigosh it's YOU!?" he said. Though, he finished the song first because freakin' professionalism, man.

[9tailedtemptress]

Ahri was amused by his outburst and it was precisely what she was hoping for. Of course she finished alongside him because it would be good to please a fan. Once they finished, she offered a light clap and a smile before nodding.

"Mhm, it's me. Nice to meet you," she giggled.

[punchtheflute]

"I can't believe I just played a song with you!" he admitted, sounding pretty excited. Hey, he'd helped save Justin Beiver's life this one time. But they'd never done a piece of music together.

"....do you think maybe I can get a picture with you?" he asked, poking at his phone and suddenly sounding pretty shy. He was usually pretty boisterous, but he also wasn't used to asking things from people who weren't family. And maybe he was pushing his luck by asking the super mega giant celebrity who had just deigned to sing a song with an inexperienced ukulele player for a favor? But if he didn't at least try, he'd be kicking himself later.

Amumu had been to one of the small clubs to see her performance but the experience hadn't quite worked out like he hoped. It was crowded and loud, which was expected, but what he didn't realize was that he'd be too short to see the show! It wouldn't have been a problem if he'd been able to wiggle his way to the front, but someone stepped on one of the wrappings on his foot during the show and he had to decide whether he wanted to become unraveled and spend an inordinate amount of time wrapping himself again, or simply stay put on the dirty floor until the crowd dispersed. The choice was easy.

Afterwards, he'd found himself shuffling down the street, a gloom hanging over him. There were no tears--not yet, and he was trying fairly hard to contain them. Just as he sighed and resigned himself to seeing Ahri in concert next time, he spotted the overnight sensation just walking the street like regular people. Now was his chance!

"Ahri!" he called out to the fox-woman, waving a hand as he did. "Hey Ahri!"

[9tailedtemptress]

Ahri was in mid-stride when she heard her name being called. Not necessarily a reason to stop but the voice in question however was familiar and it prompted her to look over. The sight did bring a smile to her face and she waved.

"Amumu, hey~"

[willbegforhugs]

In his haste to close the distance, he failed to extend his leg far enough and found himself tripping over his own foot. He took a tumble and roll, landing face-down onto the pavement. His form was motionless for an uncomfortable, few moments until he finally rose to his feet, willing the tear that threatened to spill from his right eye, away.

"I heard your show," Amumu said, once he was standing in front of her. "I liked it a lot."

[9tailedtemptress]

Poor thing, though those wrappings could sometimes make it hard to run around she guessed. Not that she underestimated him... He was really adept at what he did when he needed to. Just... not off the field.

His words brought a smile to her face. "I'm glad you did! Was it all satisfactory?"

[willbegforhugs]

"Well, I can't be really sure. I couldn't see anything because I'm short," he pouted, slumping his shoulders with the action. "And I wanted to move to the front, but some fans stepped on my linens," he continued, raising one foot and wriggling it. "So I got trapped. I was trying to pull it out but it wouldn't budge and then it started coming undone if I moved too far, but I didn't want to hurt anyone, so I decided to stay put."

He sniffled as he recalled the night's events, but still managed to hold it together. "It sounded real nice, though."

[9tailedtemptress]

"Aww, next time let me know! I'll reserve a special seat, just for you." she smiled, patting him on the head.

"Guessing you're getting accustomed to this place? It's actually pretty nice. How about the school?"

[willbegforhugs]

"Just for me?!" he gasped in awe, hands clasped together. "I'll be to your next show, so save that seat for me! I promise!" Amumu wrapped his arms around his body and hugged himself, feeling giddy. This was going to be great--not only would he see her play again, he was going to have a front-row seat so he could see everything. This was the best day!

"I'm getting used to things...um...I think? It helps that I like the roughhousing part, it means I get to tackle lots of cuddly things during fights!" Though he adored whatever the 'pokemon' creatures were, he wasn't so sure they liked him much. Such was unlife.

[9tailedtemptress]

"Of course! And anytime you'd like to come to the show, I'll have your very own special place." she added with a thumbs up.

"Oh, sounds like you're fitting it perfectly! That's good. Let me know next time you have a match and I'll come over to watch. It's been a while since I've seen you go at it." And boy did she enjoy the amusement of the little one coming out of nowhere and just immobilizing an entire group. It was simply great.

[rivalthunderbolts]

Jolt sniffed her butt.

Jolt's nose knew. And he could tell another fox-dog-something-thing anywhere. Of course, he decided to keep his distance at first, following in Pokemon form to observe for now.

[9tailedtemptress]

It was pretty hard to sneak up on a Champion of the Rift, let alone one of the craftiest! But that didn't mean she'd let spiky dog-fox-thing know! She went about her business as she continued her relaxing stroll through the area.

[rivalthunderbolts]

He tried to keep stealthy, but eventually realized she had noticed. He was a good tracker too, and could tell these things. But that was fine.

It just meant now he hopped out in public, to walk next to her in Jolteon form like the adorable sparklepup he was.

[9tailedtemptress]

"Finally deem me worthy of your presence?" she teased, smiling down at the sparkypup. "Seemed kind of lonely back there, maybe you finally sought out warmth." she added with a light laugh.

"But, I do appreciate the pleasant escort."

[rivalthunderbolts]

"Just wanted to see what the big deal was about," Jolt barked. Perhaps she could understand him even in this form?

[9tailedtemptress]

"Big deal? I didn't even know there was one to begin with." she giggled as she continued on her way. And yes spark pup, she can understand you. Comes with being a mythical creature and all.

"Been here long or?"

[rivalthunderbolts]

"Well, you've got people staring at you everywhere you go," Jolt pointed out, pleased that she understood him in this form. "And it's not just because you're gorgeous, huh?"

[9tailedtemptress]

Ahri covered a light chuckle as she continued on. "Could be~ Really nice of you to point that out but it is more than likely because I just played a short gig over at that nearby cafe." she nodded over.
