Bengals middle linebacker Rey Maualuga has been charged with a misdemeanor assault stemming from a bar incident in Cincinnati.
Police charged Maualuga on Friday after investigating allegations by a bar employee that Maualuga punched him in the face early Sunday morning. His arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 17.
This is Maualuga's second violation in two years under the personal conduct policy, which likely will lead to discipline from the NFL.
He pleaded guilty to drunken driving in February 2010 and was placed in the Stage One of the NFL's Alcohol and Substance Abuse program. Maualuga successfully won his appeal of a one-game suspension but he was still fined two game checks that totaled, $46,740. After spending a month in rehab following the DUI arrest, Maualuga said "It was definitely a life-changer for me."
It could be difficult for Maualuga to avoid a suspension this time because this is his second offense.
That wasn't the first time Maualuga has encountered problems with alcohol. During his freshman year at USC in 2005, Malaulga was arrested for misdemeanor battery in an alcohol-related incident. The charges were dismissed when he agreed to participate in an arraignment diversion program that included attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
This is a rough start to the offseason for the Bengals, who have had a history of players getting arrested. Maualuga is the fourth player to get in trouble with the law since last July, joining running back Cedric Benson, cornerback Adam Jones and wide receiver Jerome Simpson.

Yhwach is the monarch of the Vandenreich. He possesses the designation "A".
Yhwach is a tall man, whose long face has a broad chin and pronounced cheekbones. He has long black hair, which reaches to his lower back, and reddish-brown eyes with thin eyebrows. He has well-kept mutton chops which connect with a mustache, but is otherwise clean-shaven. His usual attire consists of a white, double-breasted trench coat, which has the Vandenreich symbol in the middle, with large buttoned cuffs and lapels, white trousers, and trench boots. Over this, he wears a tattered, ankle-length black cloak, which has a red ribbon near the neck and is fastened to the left with a single large button.
Yhwach is a racist, war-loving, and brutal man who relishes battle and scorns concepts such as honor and compassion as things that make people weak. He despises Shinigami, particularly the current Gotei 13, for becoming weak over the millennia. This is particularly notable in his relationship with Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, whom he deeply respected and feared when they were younger, but now believes has grown soft. He also bears a xenophobic (even Nazi-esque) hatred for Arrancar, even ones who have sworn allegiance to him, fully intending to dispose of them once they are of no further use to him.
He seems to treat his Quincy subordinates differently, outwardly referring to them as if they were his children. However, given the fact that he heartlessly robbed "impure" Quincies of their powers to build up his own over the years, it is extremely likely that he views all of his subordinates as tools to be disposed of once they have served their purpose. He rules his underlings with an iron fist, hypocritically saying that he does not allow conflict amongst their ranks.
Yhwach is credited with being the progenitor of the Quincy. He is their king, and his blood flows in every Quincy. About 1,000 years ago, under unknown circumstances, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto failed to kill him. Sometime around or during the course of this event, Yhwach witnessed the capabilities of Yamamoto's Bankai, Zanka no Tachi. After his battle with Yamamoto, Yhwach supposedly lost his powers. Quincy folklore spoke of him as "The Sealed King": after 900 years of being sealed, he would regain his pulse, after another 90, he would regain his intellect, and after 9 more years, he would absorb the power of every "impure" Quincy to make their abilities his own. With Auswählen, he did this to Kanae Katagiri, killing her, and to Masaki Kurosaki, who died during her fight with Grand Fisher due to the loss of her powers, all "impure" Quincy were killed except for Uryu Ishida. It is revealed that this song is called "Kaiser Gesang" (German for The Emperor's Song) and that there is another verse stating that "The Sealed King" would also regain the world after 9 days.

Blame the brain for lack of rhythm
From New Orleans, at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience
At the other end of the musical talent scale from those with perfect pitch are people with dysmusia, a condition marked by difficulty learning to play music or recognizing melodies. It's essentially a musical version of dyslexia, the well-recognized reading disability.
On rare occasions, a person suffering a stroke or other forms of brain trauma will develop dysmusia, says Julie Ayotte of the University of Montreal. As she and her colleague Isabelle Peretz studied a few of these brain-damaged individuals, they began to wonder how frequently dysmusia occurs among healthy people. A search of scientific literature yielded just two reports of people born with dysmusia, notes Ayotte.

Richardson's safety aim
Goal-hero Kieran Richardson is confident Sunderland can climb to Premier League safety.
Last Updated: 02/01/08 12:16pm
Kieran Richardson is confident Sunderland can climb to Premier League safety.
The classy winger helped the Black Cats leap out of the relegation zone by both scoring and creating a goal in their 3-1 victory over Bolton on Saturday.
It was a triumphant return after months on the injury sidelines for the £5.5million summer signing from Manchester United.
The England international now hopes the Black Cats can push on in the league, starting at Blackburn on Wednesday.
He said: "In the changing room, between ourselves, we have no doubt we can get out of it.
"I am a confident lad and the players are all confident. We know we can do it.
"We weren't getting carried away because we know how tight it is down there.
"The gaffer said everyone is worrying around us, but as long as we are focused and we keep positive between ourselves, we will have no problem.
"We did that on Saturday, we got the three points and now we are seeing a bit of light.
"But we have got to kick on from now and hopefully get some more wins under our belt."
Richardson is well aware that the Black Cats need to pick up points on the road, after managing to collect just two out of 30 available away from the Stadium of Light.
He added: "Obviously our away form isn't as good as our home form but we have got great fans here and we have got great support away from home as well.
Crack on
"We have got to crack on from now. We are not really thinking about home or away.
"We are taking every game one at a time and hopefully we can work hard and get the three points home or away."
While boss Roy Keane is hoping to bring in new faces in the transfer window, Richardson, 23, admits he feels like a new signing himself after his frustrating time on the sidelines with a back fracture.
He said: "I played two games and that was it. I have not shown the fans and everyone here what I can do yet, so it does feel like I am a new signing.
"I am definitely fresh - I need match fitness, but being on the sidelines watching the team out there is so frustrating.
"I am just so glad to be back in the mix and hopefully I can kick on from there."
Richardson should again start against Blackburn, while veteran Dwight Yorke could come into the side after being rested on Saturday.

How to Paint High Walls Inside A Home
Tips for Painting High Walls
Painting high walls inside a home is a challenging paint job most homeowners avoid doing themselves, but if you're the type of person who tackles every home improvement project hands-on, the job can be accomplished without the service of a painter. However, keep in mind that painting high walls is labor intensive and usually requires the use of extension ladders. This article provides some tips on painting high walls.
Choose the Right Equipment
Two story walls in a foyer, or a great room, are usually at least 20 feet high, in which case you'll need a 24 ft. extension ladder to get the job done comfortably and safely. You could also use a 20 ft. ladder if you can find one. The 16 ft. extension ladder is perfect for high walls in most vaulted bedrooms. When in doubt, measure the height, but in most foyers, a 16 ft. ladder usually isn't big enough.
If you don't have an extension ladder for the job, rent one from Home Depot. Buying a new extension ladder costs $200 to $300. Aluminum ladders are best because they're much lighter than fiber glass and a lot easier to move around inside a home.
Are You Painting the Ceiling Too?
Skip this part if you aren't painting the ceiling, but if you are, always paint the ceiling before you paint the walls. This way it won't matter if you drip a little paint on the walls in the process. If you were to paint the walls first, and the ceiling last, you would have to protect the walls with plastic and also brush in the ceiling paint upside down to the wall edges.
Select the Best Paint Finish
There isn't necessarily a right or wrong finish for big walls inside a home, but I don't recommend overly shiny paints. Personally, I would avoid semi-gloss or gloss. I have painted high walls in many homes and either flat (non-shiny) or eggshell (shiny) looks fine. Some people like shiny walls and some people don't, but do consider the current condition of the drywall as one of the determining factors. If you can see the joints in the drywall, nail pops, or uneven areas, shiny paint will highlight those problems even more, especially if the room is well lit.
Choose a flat paint to dull the surface and draw less attention to imperfections on a poor drywall job. The only downside to flat paint is that it doesn't always clean well because it isn't very smooth. The downside to eggshell is that sometimes it shows lap marks from the paint roller, after the paint is dry, but that can be prevented by using a premium interior paint and rolling the paint correctly.
Repair Drywall and Tape Baseboard
Fill nail holes and make any drywall repairs before painting. I like to sand the walls before I paint, using a metal sanding head attached to a painting pole. Sanding the walls files down bumps and removes roller hairs in the existing paint finish. It makes the walls nice and smooth. Tape off the top of the baseboard with blue tape and remove outlet covers.
Cut-in the Ceiling Line
Before you roll any paint onto the walls, complete all of the brush work first, using an extension ladder. This is the most time consuming part, because of the ladder work involved, but after the brush work is completed, you can put the ladder away, because the paint rolling is done from the ground using a pole.
It will probably take two coats with the brush, unless you're painting a color that's similar to the existing paint. Two coats always looks best though. If you don't have a steady hand with the paint brush, you can resort to using blue tape, but it will take a lot longer to insert the tape into the corners and tape doesn't always leave a straight line either.
To keep the floor protected from dripping paint, place drop cloths underneath the ladder. DO NOT set up the ladder with the feet directly on top of a drop cloth, or the ladder could slide across the floor when you're on it. Always keep the ladder feet on the bare floor itself.
Pour a little paint into a clean empty gallon can. Snap a bucket hook onto the handle of the can and use it to hook the can to the top of the ladder after you climb up. The can takes up less space than a big bucket and you can leave it attached to the ladder so you won't have both hands full while painting with the brush.
Set up the ladder at one side of the room and work towards the other side. Use a 3-inch paint brush to cut-in the top of the high walls. A wider 3-inch brush holds more paint and will make the job go a little faster. I like to leave a 3" to 4" strip of paint at the wall top, when cutting-in, so it's easier to reach with the paint roller.
Roll the Paint
Now comes the fun part - rolling the paint onto the walls. The good news is that you won't need the ladder anymore. Head down to the paint store and buy a large painting pole. In some cases, a 4 to 8 foot pole will be long enough to reach the top of high walls if you stand on a stepladder. You can also buy a longer 8 to 12 foot painting pole, but in many cases the 4 to 8 pole is long enough and easier to work with.
Make sure all of the floors are protected with drop cloths and the walls are repaired and sanded. For eggshell (shiny) paint, use a 1/2" nap paint roller, which produces smaller stipple marks on the wall. A thicker roller, such as 3/4" nap, holds more paint, but the roller stipple at the bottom of the walls will be noticeably heavy at eye level if you're using a shiny paint finish. For flat (non-shiny) paint, a 3/4" nap roller is fine.
When rolling paint onto high walls in a foyer, or any other room inside a home, start at the top and work your way down, but only work in sections, don't skip around. Start at one side of the wall and work towards the other side for an even finish. If you're painting two coats on the walls, the first coat doesn't have to be rolled in a perfect manner, as far as direction goes, but the second coat must be rolled evenly, in one direction, to avoid seeing roller marks after it dries.
For egghsell, or satin paint, always roll the paint evenly from the top all the way down to the bottom. Avoid rolling half the wall first and the second half last. If you paint high walls that way, you will see roller marks where the two sections overlap in the middle. It won't be as noticeable with flat paint, but it will stand out a lot with eggshell paint. Always roll from top to bottom and don't stop the roller in the middle of the wall.
Extension Ladder Alternative
Scared of heights? There is one solution, but it takes more time and doesn't always produce the best results. You can use a brush extender to cut-in high walls from the ground. A brush extender is a small metal adapter that screws onto the end of a painting pole. You insert the paint brush handle into the end of it.
If you don't have any experience with a brush extender, it does take some practice, especially if you're already bad at cutting-in straight lines at ceilings. A brush extender is really useful for cutting-in tricky walls in places where it's almost impossible to use an extension ladder. The downside is that if you mess it up and get paint on the ceiling, you will have to fix it or live with it. Although it takes some physical effort, using an extension ladder really is the best way to get the job done right.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Front End Shutters While Turning And Accelerating on 2003 Audi A6 Quattro
I have an Audi A6 Quattro w/105,000 miles. I am getting a strange shutter when I accelerate and turn at the same time. (I should also note, the sound comes when turning either direction). Not really a vibration, so much as a bad sound. I hate the car, but the wife loves it! So any information on potential problems and fixes would be greatly appreciated!...Jeremy
if your feel/noise is a drone/vibration on tight turns under power it may be normal. the differentials (there are 3, front, rear and center) do not have 100% slippage which means under certain conditions the limit of slippage can cause a kind of "lock-up" where the wheels and diff can chatter. gm cars with limited slip diffs used addative to help their diffs that did something similar, but those were "plates" the audi uses a different technology so addative is not a good idea. be sure there are no leaks and the fluid level is good.

Description: Sora and Roxas- Coke-head rock star brothers who are on top of the world. Kairi and Naminé- 2 hooker sisters all the way on the bottom Selphie and Yuffie- 2 stalker fan-girls who happen to know everything about Sora and Roxas. T for strong substance abuse and sexual references.
Note: this has heavy reference to drugs, sex, etc. I don't however, do drugs or recommend the use of them. I feel they just make the story more interesting. Also, I don't own anything mentioned besides the storyline. But, that's quite obvious. And, Yes, 2 hookers and an 8-ball is the name of an MSI song, and I did get some inspiration from the book/movie Party Monster and Gerard Way's life and success. Review, and all that jazz.
Adam Lazzara had five minutes since finished prancing across the stage in his flannel shirt and loose black jeans with the accompaniment of his band. Taking Back Sunday roadies took apart the stage as Catatonia Roadies began to set up the elaborate scene drawn by none other than Naminé and their equipment.
Nobody from Catatonia clan had seen the massive amount of people that took up the arena. They were all stuffing their faces in the lounge. Also, they wanted to be surprised. They didn't need to stand on the side of the stage while Taking Back Sunday or the smaller bands before them played. They could hear through the paper-thin walls just fine.
Marluxia came back into the lounge; he was the only one of the whole group who had decided to go watch from the side of the stage. Really, he was just watching the crowd rather than the band. "Oh my god, you guys are going to flip! There is not one empty seat in the upper levels and not one empty spot on that floor."
Sora went pale. "Are-are you serious?"
Marluxia shook his head. "You remember how huge this place is, yeah?"
Sora nodded. He could hear the music that filled the arena from Demyx's iPod. The song was Muse's 'Glorious'. One of the most inspirational pieces of music Sora could say he had ever heard. Somehow it relieved Sora. It wasn't that he had stage fright; if he did there would be no Catatonia. It was just he didn't like the idea of huge crowds in one place. As long as he didn't have to be in the crowd it was okay he supposed. But the thought was enough to nauseate him. The comfort of one of his favourite songs and the smell of popcorn and hotdogs from the seemingly infinite amount of concession stands in the arena distracted him.
Marluxia examined the boys who had changed into their stage costumes during the time they had been apart. "Oh good, you guys changed already. One less thing I have to nag you about. Alright My Catatonia boys, up up up." Marluxia said with his notorious clap. "Everyone run around the room a few times. Sora and Axel, warm up those pipes while doing so. This is a big night for us. We have to be at the top of our game. You all know the set list, yes?"
"Yes, Marluxia we studied it in the cabs." Axel said with a groan. Groans came from the other lazy young men as they set down their plates of the complimentary gourmet buffet food. With one last swig of sprite, Sora rose to his feet and began his major scales. Axel accompanied in his usual melodious back-up harmony.
As Kairi watched the five men circle the small red room she began to grow dizzy. She averted her attention to the commotion in the hallway where some photographers snapped pictures of the bands they were hired by as they casually walked around. They walked past the lounge and down the halls that led to the doors all the VIP's were instructed to use.
"See anything interesting out there?" Naminé asked Kairi.
"Not really, just trying to keep from being dizzy."
"Same here. They must have stomachs made of steel to jump around like that after totally pigging out. Let alone go in circles like that. I could barf just glancing at them."
With a snort Kairi said, "Classy."
"I could say the same for you, my wee little piggy." Naminé pinched Kairi's cheek with a chuckle.
"You and Roxas act very much alike, you know. I'm beginning to see what Sora means by when he says "the old Roxas" is back."
"What do you mean?"
"Sora told me Roxas is starting to act like his old self. More carefree, and kinda silly. Maybe you two are beginning to, I dunno, rub off on each other. I mean with the way you two hang out, I wouldn't doubt it. It's expected for people to become alike whe-"
Naminé cut Kairi off by putting her hand over her mouth. "Okay, I get it motormouth."
Kairi spit and slobbered all over Naminé's hand. When Naminé pulled away in disgust, Kairi could only offer a cheeky smile. It was rewarded with her own spit being wiped onto Kairi's purple tights, which were under a pair of jean shorts.
"Nami! That made a dark spot!" She whined.
"Think twice before you slobber all over me!"
"Think twice before you cover my mouth!"
Before Naminé could argue further, a portly and somewhat balding man with a headset and giant stadium staff shirt came into the lounge. "All members of Catatonia and VIP are needed at the stage, thank you." He quickly said before running off to do the next important thing.
"This is it boys! How does it feel to play your first real show in about 4 months?"
They all responded with a deep breath. Sora's hand made its way to Kairi's through all the hustle. "C'mon."
They filed into the narrow cream coloured hallway with Sora in the lead passing a random band member or two along the way. They would all pat Sora on the back and give a good luck to the rest of the band.
Sora dragged Kairi along somewhat behind him, and somewhat next to him. Followed by Marluxia with his nose in the air, and then were Roxas and Naminé with Roxas' arm slinked around Naminé's tiny shoulders. Demyx Riku and Axel fidgeted amongst themselves in the back.
All the roadies had cleared the stage and now paraded towards the band in the direction of the free food in the staff lounge, which naturally was less exquisite than the bands lounge. Only a few of the men stayed, that of which were the tech staff. They stood at the dark end of the hallway which was also the entrance to the immediate backstage area with guitars, drumsticks, and microphones in hand and ready for action.
The backstage area was dark, and deceiving in size. It was really quite bigger than it seemed. There were about 5 stairs up to the stage, but the backstage area they stood in shielded them from the crowd. Also, it shielded the sound equipment that was stationed there from any rain that could fall into the stadium. The wall made the crowd almost impossible to see. Yet, they had a pretty good view of the stage.
The crowd yelled "Catatonia" in unison which gave them all a rough idea of just how many people were crowded into the stadium. They really had no idea.
"Naminé! It looks amazing!" Roxas praised in a just barely audible yell over the crowd.
"Holy shit, she was useful for once." Sora remarked. "Nice going, ditz."
Before Naminé could hurt him, Marluxia grabbed her shoulder. "It looks really, just, amazing. Look at me, I can barely speak." He said with a chuckle.
She received a few more 'nice job's before the guys had to start getting ready with the help of the techies. Marluxia took both girls to the side before handing the boys their setlists to study one last time. "Now, we're going to be right on this side of the stage. You can't really see it from here, but where we'll be standing; we'll have to go left, sort of further back on the stage. But not behind the big banner Naminé designed. Then we won't see anything. Don't worry; we aren't out in the middle of the stage. All the places we'll be going too are pretty much just like this. Got all that?"
Confused, the girls looked at each other and then back to Marluxia simply giving an unsure nod. Marluxia rolled his eyes and went over to tend to the boys. Demyx and Roxas mainly, who were already tangled up in some wire.
Sora approached Kairi one more time before the show and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Enjoy the show, okay?"
"Of course. Break a leg." He began to turn to grab his microphone when she turned him back for a passionate kiss. "It's for good luck, now get."
With his trademark sexy bad-boy grin he turned back towards the techie, who while wearing the shirt that read 'head of tech staff' strapped some minor equipment on the young stars slender body.
The same tech-man then asked, once he was done with Sora, if everyone was ready. With a nod from everyone, he went over to the man at the backstage sound and lights board and told him to cut Demyx's ipod, turn down the lights, and get the walk-on song on.
Simultaneously the song Kingdom by Dave Gahan stopped streaming from Demyx's ipod and into the arena, as did the lights; and the crowd knew it was time. If it was at all possible, their roaring became even louder. Their walk on song "Oh Fortuna" by Carl Orff began to blare even louder than the crowd. They had at least 2 minutes before they actually had to run onstage.
Kairi and Naminé grabbed the earplugs out of Marluxias offering hand and stuffed them into their ears. It was a weird thing about earplugs, because they enhanced the live music experience by drowning out the crowd and filtering the music through, somehow. The two minutes into the song they had flew past, Marluxia pushed them out onstage yelling "Go, go go!" As if he was a military general.
They seemed to light the stage with their presence. They ran into position, Sora being the last one to come out with his arms raised in the air and his mouth open wide in pure shock. The crowd could not be described as just massive; it was so far beyond describing just how many people had showed up. It sent shivers down his spine. In his left and dominant hand, he held his wireless microphone. Taking front and center stage, he put a foot put on the center pedal-board and waved his hands as if to beckon the crowd to come closer. To the two girls in front and center, he was a silhouette due to the bright lights that shone behind him, they screamed like their heads were about to pop off nevertheless. Actually, if the crowd surged against them any harder their heads just may have. To Kairi and Naminé, the crowd screamed as loud as they did prior to putting in the earplugs. To hear it without would be painful.
Sora jumped up and down, still without any words to the thousands of people as Riku began to bang the drums to start the beginning of 'Out Here All Night', Marluxia signaled to the girls that it was time to file into the VIP side-stage area. It wasn't until they were in their standing area that they could appreciate the amount of people. Their expressions were very similar to that of Sora's. Pure shock.
The stage illuminated the five young men who were far beyond driven, headbanging and just having a good time doing what they loved. Sora returned to his starting position with his one foot on the pedal-board. He tapped his leg along with the beat and shook his head as he sang with all he had in him.
Kairi and Naminé watched the young men they had grown to love in the course of a few months with such adoration and support. They observed the thousands of fangirls who longed to be one of the five young men's girls. Yet, there stood the most unlikely love interests of the two most desired members of what possibly was the biggest band since the Beatles.
The song ended on the unanimous stroke of a single sharp note followed by Sora's address to the crowd. "How are we feeling New York City? I tell you, I am so happy to be here and share with you, this wonderful night." The crowd replied in an overly-enthusiastic cheer. He chuckled into the mic sheepishly at the flattering remarks he could make out in the midst of the screams. He looked out into the dark crowd, for the lights were only on the stage. "God there is a fuckin' lot of ya. Someone get the house lights on."
As if he were controlling the lights himself, the whole stadium turned into vast a sea of heads with an orangey hue. "I tell ya. This is what makes it all worthwhile. You guys are something else." There were more screams and shrieks. "So I tell you what, this one is for you. You might know this song. This song is called…." He looked around, darting his eyes from the left to the right of the arena. The sparkle in his blue eyes could be seen by all, as here were about 3 different screens he was projected on. "Miracle." Was the word that rolled of his tongue. It was also the word that made the crowd go nuts. It rained crowdsurfers on the poor people in the front all throughout the popular song.
After a few more songs of chaotic crowdsurfers and mosh-pits, Roxas took over Sora's mic as Sora took a swig of water. "Hey, who out there thinks this stage looks absolutely bitchin?"
Meanwhile, a few meters to the side of the stage the lively colour in Naminé's face drained. "He wouldn't."
When the crowd stopped their cheering, he continued. "You lucky little fuckers get to see it before the rest of the country does. Well, I have a little something to tell you. A very amazing girl I know designed the whole thing by herself. And you see our sexy little get-ups? Well she designed those too."
"He couldn't."
"And what I'd like to do now is introduce her to you." Using a monotonous voice he made pretend he was calling her over an intercom in a bland office building. "Ms. Naminé to the front and center stage please. Ms. Naminé, to the front and center stage please."
Kairi turned to Naminé who was violently shaking her head back and forth. "No, no, no. Do you see how many people are out there?"
"Yes, and that's why you're coming with me." She grabbed Naminé's arm and pulled her a decent distance. "Don't try to fight it. I may be your little sister, but I know I'm a lot stronger than you are."
"Kairi, No!" She screamed. But it was too late. She was already tugged out onto the left of the stage. Roxas rushed over to aid Kairi in the pulling. Once had Naminé in the center with Roxas, she gave a small salute. "I'll be going now."
"I think not." Said a voice over the speakers as arms wrapped around her waist simultaneously. "This is someone else I'd like everyone to meet. I understand how unprofessional this is, but we'll make it up to you by extending the time. This is our show so we call the shots. Ladies and Gents, this is Kairi incase you were wondering. And she is the most amazing thing to ever happen to me. Everyone say hello Kairi!"
There were a few boos from some of the hardcore Sora fangirls, but from the real fans came the unanimous chant of a "Hi Kairi" Showing that New York City really could have some real fans that were just truly happy for him.
"And this here would e the designer of the stage." Chimed Roxas' voice from another microphone. "Didn't she do an awesome job?" Naminé's face became a pinkish colour as Roxas gave her a hug and kiss on the cheek. Sora turned his microphone off and whispered an "I love you" into her ear before placing a kiss on her lips in front of thousands of people. This naturally, caused a few more fans to boo than last time. But negativity doesn't reach cloud nine, so it went unheard.
To be continued.
I figured I'd make this a joint chapter. I didn't want to make the performance one chapter. I want it to be big and epic and all that stuff. Hope you enjoyed. Hopefully I can get another update up in less than 2 weeks. (That would be nice, right?) Off to go watch Americas Next Top Model. GO HEATHER! XD Hope you enjoyed. Review and stuff. BTW GREAT Job with the 10 reviews. I NEVER had such expectations for this story.
