All right, turn your TVs on!
All right!
Got nothin' better to do...
Once you flip your TV on, the members of the Kawaii Lounge are seen on the screen. The room is the simple talk-show style - you know, like Oprah's or Maury's - with a couch and a couple of love seats forming a kind of circular shape around a coffee table. An audience can be seen before the "stage"; currently the members of this audience look kinda dead. Suddenly, upbeat music plays, and the audience wakes up.
Chairo, the host, jumps up to announce, "Hello, everyone! We're back with the Kawaii Lounge, and we've made lots of changes!! We even have a new host with us!! Please welcome Roiben!!!"
Crickets chirp for a moment, and Chairo blinks impatiently with a smile still plastered to her face. Finally, Roiben walks in through a door at the back of the stage, and the audience goes wild as psychotic fan girls express their delight with his presence.
"I'm not new, you fucking moron," Roiben says dryly, hitting Chairo on the head so that she sits back down.
"Anyway," Tala speaks up, "On with the show...Chairo, you start."
Chairo jumps up again and says enthusiastically, "Yes! Well, first off, I've been receiving lots of questions as to what the question I asked Kadaj in the last Kawaii lounge was...." She fidgets a little and laughs sheepishly before continuing, "The question was just if I could do his hair in a pony tail with the flippy thing, so everyone can rest assured it wasn't...perverted or something..."
"You liar! That was not the question!" Tala exclaims, jumping from her own seat.
"Y-yes it was! Hehe, so, anyway, we have a show to run!! On with it, Roiben!"
Flashing a dazzling smile, Roiben stays seated as he announces, "Today our guests are from the great Yaoi show, Gravitation!! Please welcome Bad Luck Stars Shuichi Shindou and Hiroshi Nakano, Nittle Graspers Ryuichi Sakuma, and the popular romance novelist Eiri Yuki!!
Fan boys and girls alike scream and cheer from the audience. Chairo, who appears to be having an emotional melt-down, exclaims in wonder, "Oh my gawd!!! RYUICHI SAKUMA!?! SHUICHI SHINDOU!?!?! EIRI YUKI!??!?!???!" She passes out and falls swiftly to the floor, causing the audience to fall into a stunned silence.
Someone in the audience calls incredulously, "You did know who your guests were before hand, didn't you?!"
"Of course she did...!" Roiben answers cheerfully before scooping the girl up and flinging her into a chair.
After heaving an exasperated sigh, Tala says, "Okay...Our first question is for Shuichi! Shuichi, why don't you love Ryuichi instead of Eiri? Or even Hiro?"
An awkward silence rests over the group for a moment before Hiro says, "Shouldn't you be asking questions about our careers...? That's what the letter said..."
Chairo sits up, having recovered from her episode, and answers, "Haha, that's a good one Hiro!! Haven't you ever seen this show!? We're all about entertainment! We ask questions that matter!!"
Hiro doesn't know what to say to this, especially upon seeing the weirdly determined expression on her face, so he says simply, "O...kay..."
All eyes return to Shuichi, who begins to answer the question that was, after all, directed at him. "Well..." Suddenly his expression changes, and becomes unbelievably soft and childlike with tears sparkling in his eyes. "I love Eiri, more than the sky above my head! He's mine!"
Chairo grins at him, totally loving his response. Tala, however, is unsatisfied. "That's not really an answer, is it...?"
"Of course it is!" Shuichi replies, "Tatsuha told me that it's not because of who he is, that it just happened!!! Besides, Hiro and I have been friends for a long time, and-"
Chairo holds up a hand abruptly, and looks away from the pink-haired diva in disgust. It seems that she can't handle the corny direction his answer is going in. "All right, that's enough for that question..." she says.
Tala smiles sheepishly and says, "This next question is for..." - she pauses to look at a cue card in her hand - "Ryuichi Sakuma. Ryu, do you mind who calls you Ryu-chan?"
Ryuichi is sparkling brightly as he replies, "Of course not! Tohma calls me that, and Noriko, too! So does Mr. Bear!!"
"Ooh! Is Kuma-chan here?!" Chairo bursts out, referring to the pink bunny.
"Yeah!" Ryuichi answers, "And I brought his clones for you guys, too!" He pulls identical pink bunnies out of nowhere and throws one at each member of the Kawaii Lounge.
"Thank you!!" chime the three members in unison, while hugging their plushies.
Tala spoke up again, saying "Now I'll turn the floor over to Chairo, since she's been talking nonstop anyway...Here, Chairo you can ask this question." She holds out her note cards, which Chairo rushes over to take.
Chairo gives the note card a quick once over before grinning at the audience and then at Shuichi. "This one is for Shuichi! Shu-chan, you're so damn hyper! Do you have ADD?"
"Yes!" Shuichi admits easily, returning Chairo's idiotic grin.
"Yay!" Chairo, Ryuichi, and Shuichi all cry joyously.
The others exchange glances, and Tala breaks the growing silence, "O...kay...I think I'll go back to asking the questions." She looks at Chairo oddly.
"Mm'kay!" Chairo replies, handing the note cards to Tala.
"The next question is another one for Ryu," Tala says, "Ryuichi, how did you come up with the awesome power of the Kumagoro Miracle Beam?"
Ryuichi, looking proud of himself, answers, "It was just a spur of the moment! Great, huh?"
"Uh, yeah..." Tala said uncertainly, "Now, this question is for Eiri. How the hell do you put up with Shuichi?!"
"A lot of Prozac..." Eiri says dryly, and the audience laughs good-naturedly.
The audience's laughter apparently upsets Chairo, because she suddenly stands to face them. "YOURE JUST DOING THAT BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO SINCE HES HOTT, YOU BASTARDS!!!" she hollers at them, seething with anger.
"Oh, god..." Roiben mutters, covering his face with his hands before gently rubbing his temples with his fingers.
"Dammit, Chairo, sit down! You're gonna get us canceled, you moron!" Tala yelled, grabbing Chairo's arm and trying to force her into a sitting position.
Chairo finally calms down and glares at everyone before sitting down to sulk.
Tala sighs once again and says to the audience, "Well, that's all we have for tonight. See ya next time!"
"Sorry the show sucked - we couldn't get rid of Chairo!" Roiben called, waving a hand to the audience.
Chairo chooses to ignore Roiben's comment and waves Kumagoro's paw at the audience before the screen goes blank.

The Kawaii Lounge 2: Gravitation Edition
The Kawaii Lounge is an unpopular television show where the hosts Chairo, Roiben, and Tala interview a few characters from chosen anime. The name "The Kawaii Lounge" came from Chairo's name for her group of friends, "the Circle of Cuteness" or Maru No Kawaii. I decided to type this normally instead of in interview format, since it's easier to read. Thanks for wasting your time. ^-^ Note: In order to understand this, it helps if you know what Gravitation is. Duh. Roiben is a character from the book TitheDid you like this story?
