Qiuru: Whew~ What a long day~

It took awhile for us to get back, and when we did, everyone was off doing their own things. Me and Pris went up to our rooms to shower and change,. Pris looked half dead, although I was just as tired, I didn't want to spoil the mood, so I guess I looked pretty fine. But you couldn't imagine trying to stay awake and shower at the same time.

When I was done, I met Pris in the kitchen. She kept dozing off while waiting to leave. So, I brewed her a cup of strong coffee. I handed her the cup of coffee and asked if she were okie. She said she was. And I went back to the counter to make smoothies for everyone including the crew. and everyone involved today.
"Everyone!! Quick grab a quick snack before we leave for the concert!!", I shouted from the entrance of the kitchen. Everyone came in and had a glass of smoothie each.

"Hey, this is good stuff!", the cameraman exclaimed.
"Thanks.. ", I said, and handed one to Pris.

"Here, have some, it'll keep you full for awhile till we get a chance to eat again.", I told her. The guys helped themselves to a glass each. While we waited to leave, we chatted about today's events, and how I was the infamous NG queen. Soon, it as time to set off back to school. We boarded the bus and it was noisy for awhile till everyone fell asleep on the way. Pris was the first to knock off the 'Dreamland'.

Almost at the school, I woke up, only to find someone resting on my shoulder. It was Kunda. 'Oh well..', I thought. I turned and saw Pris just getting up from Ady's shoulder. My guess that she didn't even know she was resting on his shoulder the whole time. I gently shook Kunda's arm.

"Hey.. Wakey wakey..", I whispered to him.
"Huh? Oh, sorry..", he said.
"Its okie, we almost there.", I said as I took out my comb to comb my hair. I stood up and reached in front to wake Shuwei and Niunai up before we turned into the school car park behind the Auditorium.

As we reached there, there were many people waiting for Energy. It was crowded to the max! Were there not only fans, but also the press. Cameras were flashing everywhere. Whew~! And the fans were banging on the windows of the bus. So irritating.. Guards had to form a human barrier so that we could go into the auditorium. Shuwei was out first, then Pris, Ady, me, Kunda and finally Niunai, who got abit held back cause one of the fans caught hold of him arm. Scary..

Inside the Auditorium, Pris sat down on the first row, that was sealed off for us. VIP seats ah~ Haha~ Pris felt faint from walking through the crowd. I explained to the guys that Pris was crowd-phobic. I told the guys to go ahead and prepare for the concert while I looked after Pris. I sat down beside her, dug into my bag and pulled out a medium sized flask.

"Here..", I said, and poured out the contents from the flask into the cap.
"What's that?", Pris said, and sat up properly to receive the cup.
"What do you think it is?", I asked. She smelled the contents and said, "Milo?".
"Doh.. I knew this was coming, so I prepared some in case you felt faint or something. A hot drink helps alot, and I noticed that you seem to drink Milo or tea alot whenever this happens. So, I thought, just bring in case, cause it would be difficult to get out to get a cup with all those people out there.", I explained.

As Pris slowly sipped her drink, I got a call on my cell. I picked it up, it was Hui Shi.
"Qiuru, when can we meet Energy?", she asked excitedly.
"Oh my god! I totally forgot. What about tonight for dinner?, I told her, as I got up from my seat to go somewhere quiet to answer the call. I signalled to Pris I was going off for awhile, she nodded her head, and slouched back onto the seat.

"REALLY???!!!!!!", I pulled the phone away from my ear.
"Yeah, you can bring your friend along. But, BUT!!! Listen to me! I'll bring you there to meet them but you must promise and make sure you don't tell anybody about this. Or else, next time if they come again, I won't let you meet up with them personally. Your friend must also keep her mouth shut. This is very important!!", I explained to her.
"I understand.. Thanks a million Qiuru.", she said.
"Hey, I'm doing this because you're my friend okie? Now quickly go get good seats before they're all taken up. Oh ya, meet me at the gates of my place. You should know where I stay.", I told her, She thanked me again and hung up.
When I got back to the seats, Pris was getting an eye-shut. I sat down beside her for awhile, then her cell rang. I picked it up. It was Av, her friend whom she has promised to let her meet Energy. I settled it for Pris, as I didn't want to disturb her rest. She looked up and mouthed thanks. I just shook my head, and motioned for her to get some rest. I told her friend the same thing as I did for my friend. As I hung up and was making my way back to the seats, I saw Ady kiss Pris on her forehead.

He went off, and walked past me. I just grinned at him, and he quickly walked off. I went back to Pris's side, and I began to tease her.
"I saw that..", I gave her an evil look.
"Cut it out.." she said, just as the people started to come in. I told her that everything had been arranged. So, we sat back and waited for the people to settle in, and for the concert to start.

Some of the students tried to get past to sit in the first row, but was stopped by the usherers. Some even commented about us taking up the whole row for ourselves. When this girl said it out loud that how come we had the row to ourselves, being myself, I turned and told her off. She shut up when her friend explained that it was because of us that they were having this concert.

Soon, the concert started. The guys started out with Hey Come On, and moved on to other songs. Shuwei's dance was great, just like he practiced. It was a great concert, there were games also, some fans were lucky enough to go up and play the games with Energy. Towards the end of the concert. Both me and Pris got a surprise.
First was that, when the host asked about the guys having girlfriends, they declined and Ady said that there were people that they wanted to hold on to and the guys looked at us. They indirectly dedicated Chuan Yue Yi Guang Nain to both of us. After they finished performing the song, the host asked them about something more sensitive.

"This is something that many fans want to know. Where is Toro?", the host asked. The guys were stumped.
"Toro is back in Taiwan, and he is doing fine. Things have been very complicated for all of us, and especially for Toro. We wish him the best in what he does and what he will be doing. Someone special told us, that we can't think about ourselves, and complain that we're hurting. That someone special also reminded us that we must also remember that Toro was a part of us and he is hurting too. Things will work out eventually, and Energy will always have that special place for Toro. Her conclusion is that Energy will always be the five of us. So, Energy will always be me, Ady, Niunai and Kunda and Toro. Toro will always be in our hearts no matter what happens.", Shuwei said, and looked at me and smiled.

Sobbing could be heard from behind me and Pris. I looked up at the stage, Niunai and Ady were crying. Kunda was comforting them.
"The next song is for Toro, and it was written by him. And the song after that is for all you fans out there. Don't say goodbye now, we promise that we'll be back in Singapore in the future. Zhi You Wo and Yong Yuan Bu Shou Zai Jian.", Ady said.

They performed the song with alot of emotions, and after the last song, the concert was over. The fans were still crying and sobbing. then, Energy's manager ushered me and Pris back to the bus. While we waited for the guys to board the bus.

"So, that someone special must be you lah Qiu?", Pris said, grinning.
"Well, you were in London when it happened.", I told her. She just smiled.
"You're not that all childish and hyper after all.", she said.
"What man?!!", I exclaimed and we both laughed.

When we heard all the screaming from outside, we knew the guys were out. The boarded the bus within minutes, they waved at the crowd outside and the bus pulled out and we were on our way home. Ady sat beside Pris and Kunda slumped down beside me.
"Tired people?", I asked. The all nodded their heads. I dug into my bag and pulled out the same flask that was for Pris and another flask.
"Qiu, your bag like as if Doraemon's pocket.", Pris exclaimed. The guys laughed.
"Very funny..", I said sarcastically, and handed the flask of Milo to Pris who was seated behind me. I climbed up on my seat and turned to face Ady and Pris.
"Wah.. So loving!", I said, cause Pris was pouring some Milo for Ady. I quickly turned to sit down. I giggled and handed the other flask to Shuwei who was on the opposite side from Kunda. I felt someone push me head forward.
"Wah. So loving also..", Pris teased. I looked up.
"Ya.. To Shuwei that is.. Haha~ Not like you, I pour for you, you pour for me, I feed you, you feed me.", I said. The other guys laughed, and Pris blushed.

We chatted all the way home and when we reached home, there were three people waiting at the gates. The day just got longer.. Another surprise awaited at dinner.
