            Life with the Gazette was always quite the adventure.

            It was a constant ride, and amazing escapade; one that was always exciting, almost too exciting, and definitely too fantastic to be real.

            And yet, interspersed among the endless stream of action-packed adventure, there were some days here and there that were so far beyond achingly dull that they caused physical pain to endure. It was nearly impossible for anyone to reconcile to two completely disparate sides of the lifestyle.

            On the days the PSC management team working with the GazettE had to go about their annual contract renegotiations and extensions, Kitty had nothing at all to do. Since she wasn’t actually a member of the GazettE, and her contract negotiations were settled separately, she wasn’t even allowed to sit in on the proceedings.

            It wasn’t that she actually wanted anything to do with the GazettE’s contract, or even that she wanted to sit in on the most boring event known to mankind; it was that if she had anything to do, no matter how dry and dull, it would have been an improvement to wallowing in this vague box of unsubstantiated potential. While the GazettE was tied up in their meetings, Kitty had nothing to do.

            And to make matters worse, the meeting days always happened to fall on the most unfortunate days. Typically, Meisa has a music show performance and Maki was slated to log a string of hours on the set of whatever drama she happened to be filming. Leslie and Nana usually had school, but fortunately for Kitty, Nana skipped a lot. Only when she had testing to take care of did Nana attend her university with any discernible regularity and testing only rarely coincided with meeting days.

            Having Nana around wasn’t terribly exciting, Nana was pretty low-key, after all. Still, it was nice for Kitty to have someone to talk to, even if they just spent the day watching television or discussing fanfiction, it was still better than wallowing in loneliness. Kitty was an exceptionally social creature. She needed to have her friends around her to make any day worth the time it took to happen. And, if nothing else, Nana always had something interesting up her sleeve to spark a worthwhile conversation.

            Today for instance, the two girls were discussing Nana’s latest fanfiction challenge. It consisted of creating plausible scenarios for love triangles that bridged the divides between PSC bands to result in crossover stories. Yaoi crossovers among PSC fanfiction writings were pretty common and there were easily a half dozen fanon pairings to choose from, but Nana’s challenge was trickier than that. She, as one of the best het writers in the PSC fanfiction forums had been tasked with finding het-pairings plausible enough to be shipped. It was important that the pairing were het set-ups.

            “Especially for me, you know? It would be so boring to write yaoi fanfiction about PSC’s idiots, even in crossovers . . . There’s almost no fiction in it! If I just wrote a bulleted list of all the ways they interact with each other . . . I’d be the most famous fanfiction writer on the net!”

            Kitty agreed. “The way these guys act with each other sometimes . . . I’m honestly surprised half the time that I’m not fighting Ruki for Reita’s love!”

            “They are quite the over-affectionate little puppies with each other, aren’t they?” Nana laughed.

            “Hell, I could write fanfiction about them!”

            “I’ve written that.”

            “Huh?”

            Grinning ear to ear, Nana clarified, “You writing a Reituki fic, I’ve written that.”

            “I haven’t read that one.” Kity pouted. “Why haven’t I read that one?”

            With an offhanded shrug, Nana explained, “I didn’t like it enough to show anyone.”

            Kitty’s pout morphed into petulance. “I still wanna read it.”

            “I’ll probably let you read it eventually.” Nana sighed after a pause. “Right now, I need to focus on thinking up a trio that the fans will love and that no one in PSC will hate me for shipping.”

            “What about Nao-san, of Alice Nine?” Kitty suggested after a moment. “With you and Kai?”

            Nana shrugged slowly. “I suppose . . . Nao-san is really sweet. But I can’t see it coming off as plausible.”

            “Okay, well what about Hiroto-san? He’s pretty good friends with Aoi at this point and Chisa-chan adores everyone in Gaze, but Aoi especially.”

            Nana shrugged again. This suggestion was much better, but it still didn’t sit right with the writer. “Meisa would eat her alive, though, Chisa-chan would never be able to compete with her.”

            Kitty shrugged. “I dunno. You could say that Aoi and Meisa had a fight or something.”

            “They do have their spats, I guess, but they really don’t fight, not like . . .”

            “Me and Reita,” Kitty agreed. “Hm, what about me and Reita? And Saga-san?”

            “Saga-san?”

            “Yeah, he’s a sweet heart. Remember when he used to follow Reita around like an obsessed fangirl? When Reita and I fought and Saga saw it, he would take me out for ice cream and try to make me dish all of Reita’s secrets,” Kitty mentioned.

            Nana was intrigued. “Did you tell him anything?”

            “Of course not.”

            Ideas were still swirling about in Nana’s head. “He is pretty cute though.”

            Nodding, Kitty said, “He’s dating that actress now, right? Yuuki-chan? I think I could take her in a catfight. Or you could just set the story before they met.”

            “Yuuki-chan wouldn’t mind it.”

            “She wouldn’t,” Kitty agreed.

            “And you and Reita do fight an awful lot.”

            “We do.”

            By now, Kitty was grinning. She could tell that her idea had caught in Nana’s mind. “I will get to read this one, just so you know,” she mentioned preemptively.

            Nana barely heard her. She was too caught up in thinking of the possibilities falling into place for her story. “Reita, Kitty, Saga . . . I could ship that.”
