A. Come on and Sweat

One of the good things since he settled in Vista is the gym that's not too far from the abandoned mall he's been staying in for a few days. He still had to figure out how to get a proper place along with a job. On those days when he started to overthink his situation, he would visit the gym. There was nothing better than practicing a few serves to help calm his mind. Today he made a trip to the gym after the quietness of his temporary home made him uneasy. The noise of the gym along with the feel of the volleyball in his hand calmed him. He never thought he would miss the normal noise that used to occupy his life. Well, at least he could still practice volleyball.

Suga set up a few bottles on the other side of the net before he walked over and grabbed one of the volleyballs he took out. He rolled the ball in his hands for a bit, let out a breath, got into position and served the ball. When it didn't knock the bottle down the first time, he tried it again. He grinned when the bottle tipped over and walked over to get another ball. If someone walked in he wouldn't notice them, he had another bottle to knock down.

B. Looking for a bite to eat

Suga knew he couldn't spend all his free time at the time. On another sunny day he decided to walk around the city again. He hummed softly on his way down the street, taking in the surroundings around him. Vista City did look nice, almost as if it could be a normal city, if he didn't know everything he did about it. He became hungry after awhile, he started to look around for a place to eat. He stopped at a place called Brad's Diner. That sounded like a good place to take a break. He walked inside and took a seat in the nearest booth while he decided on what to eat. Maybe he would be able to get some information while he's at it too.

C. Come Rain or Shine

When he walked out this morning it was a sunny and bright day. Since it looked like a good day he decided to visit the mall, one of the places he hadn't gone to yet. He figured it would be a good way to get some information or see if maybe there were some job opening somewhere. However, he didn't expect the sudden shower along the way. Suga placed his jacket over his head as he jogged to the mall. He didn't expect to bump into someone on his way. Suga slipped his jacket off his head, the rain plastering his sliver white hair to his face as he looked up at the person he bumped into.

"I'm sorry about that!"

The mall could wait, though he would like to get out the rain soon.

D. Wildcard!

And who is it he ran into, but the very tall woman that a group of people was clearly gathered around. She was doing a small segment for a TV show, and--how did this guy get past security?

Oh well. She shrugs, doing her best to play off the unexpected interruption.

"Guess one of my fans was a bit too eager to meet me, hm?"

Suga blinked in surprise as he looked up at the very tall woman. He didn't know her name, but he saw her pictures on the walls of the city when he walked around. He looked around at the cameras when he realized he was TV.

Oh boy. He had to think of something and quickly.

He gave a sheepish smile as he straightened up. "Yeah, I got really excited and couldn't wait. I can't believe I can finally meet you in person."

"I see." At this, Garnet motioned to the crowd, who were starting to look at him with...very unpleasant expressions. "But, what do you think I should tell my fans who waited here to meet me? You did, after all, cut in line."

That was what he was doing, wasn't it?

A line? Suga turned to see a crowd that didn't look very happy to see him. He really wasn't paying attention when he was so focused on getting out of the rain. Okay, he could work around this. He had to before that crowd either jumped on him security came by.

"Oh? I did? Sorry! I was actually on my way to the mall to go get something for you to sign when my excitement got the better of me. They can go before me, I'll go in the back of the line again. If that's alright with you?"

If he was able to make it to the back of the line then maybe he could sneak off to the mall before one of her fans tried to get him for cutting.

"Mm." Garnet pointed. "Its over there. Round the corner. Through the mall. Across the street."

The line would take him where he wanted to go. He wished he had something that he could get her to sign, but he could get that when he made it to the mall. Once he had that he would get back in line and learn more about her from her fans. He turned to the woman with an appreciative nod.

"Thank you! I hope that I'll get a chance to get your autograph soon." Suga smiled before he excused himself and walked over to find a gap in the line to make it to the mall. He looked over his shoulder, similar to a fan that wanted to get one last look before he continued on his way. He may not have gotten a lot of information yet, though after bumping into her he had a feeling it would lead to more.

"Right. Of course."

Did she seem disinterested? Tired? Frustrated? Who knew. Of course, if Koushi wanted to get back in line, he'd find it was a good hour wait - at least. However, Garnet is one of the abductees, so was he tempted to check it out more?

Suga found that he couldn't pinpoint how she felt like he normally could. He wondered how she felt and he wanted to know more. He knew the line was long, but he didn't mind. It would lead him to his original goal to learn more about the musicians. He walked inside the mall to look around for something with her face on it. He didn't have to wait long before he saw her on a poster in the window of a music store that had the name Cosmic Indulgence along the bottom of it.

Suga got the poster then walked to the back of the line. He talked with other fans to see about their favorite songs and more about Garnet, if he could.

It was a bit of a long wait - and for those behind Suga, it would be an even longer wait. Garnet was clearly a hot commodity. Once he gets there, however, she's waiting for him. At least its a small comfort.

"I see you waited. Good to see you again."

Suga looked around at the line Garnet was pretty popular, but was she a lead act? The poster had a band, though he only saw her. Maybe they were only focusing on her today for some publicity? Well, he was able to learn more about her popular songs, along with a few upcoming events. He was back in the front of the line before he knew it, this time without anyone ready to jump on him.

It was nice to see that she remembered him.

Suga smiled. "The wait wasn't too long. It's good to see you too and see I got the thing I wanted you to sign." He held up the poster on his way over to her. "Can you make it out to Kyouma? Thank you!"

"Kyouma..." There was little emotion, aside from perhaps exhaustion, in her tone as she took the poster. "Is there any message you'd like on it?"

Others behind him - was the line already filling up to wrap around the corner again? - waited impatiently for his answer.

Suga frowned a bit from the exhaustion in her tone. Was she alright? Did...did she want to be here? He left his mind as he nodded. "Oh, can you write to one of my biggest fans? Thanks." He couldn't stop thinking about if anyone asked Garnet if she was alright. The words came out of his mouth before he could stop it.

"I know you're busy, but would it be alright for me to ask how are you?"

He knew it would keep up the line, with other fans glaring at him, but he didn't care. He wouldn't take that long.

"To my biggest fan..." Garnet looked up at the boy, her eyes blinking in clouded confusion. "I'm never too busy for my fans. Of course I'm all right. Why wouldn't I be?"

Whoa, that answer didn't match the exhaustion he heard from earlier. He saw the clouded confusion in her eyes, not to mention the security guards nearby, he would have to word things a bit carefully. "Sorry! You're just my favorite artist, just wanted to make sure you had a nice day and all."

Suga gave a sheepish smile in return as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"I'm glad to hear that." Garnet nods with a tired smile. "Ah, you don't need to worry about me. But, I do appreciate your concern."

Suga noticed that her tired smile matched the one from earlier. Her eyes weren't cloudy either. A few things he took note of as he nodded with a smile. "It's no problem. I can't wait to see your next show. Can you tell me when's your next show? I know, but I would really love to hear it from you!"

He couldn't help wondering when was the last time she had a rest.

"My next show will be tonight." Garnet nodded. "In about 6 hours. Do you plan on going?"

Suga held the poster close to his chest as he nodded with a big smile. "I wouldn't miss it!"
