Hey Mom I'm Famous!

Finally, it was almost Ashton's turn. He had been waiting in the line for a little while now and had slowly made his way to the front of the pack. During this time the elevator had somehow started working again allowing more and more people to make their way to the meet and greet floor where Ashton learned just how lucky he was to have made it as early as he had. At this point even if he wanted to leave the line he felt it would be harder to go the way he came than to just fully go through the line and then out through the exit-only elevator just past the meet and greet table.

Despite having to wait a little while Ashton made the most of his time in line by editing some of the footage he had gotten from the concert on his phone while also taking some pictures of some of the meet and greet moments he was watching. It was interesting to listen and see how some of the members interacted with the fans.

Mai the cutest of the group seemed to be dealing with a lot of the more "interesting fans" who seemed a little too into her cuteness and petite looks. At some points, the guards had to usher a few of them to the exit after they stayed a little too long and asked a few too many questions. However, Ashton gained a new respect for Mai since she held a smile the whole time still delivering that cute and happy look and tone she always had.

Suko had the more normal fans to meet with from what Ashton had seen so far. This surprised him since she arguably had the most different looks of the group with all her piercings and short dyed hair. The people that went up to her were your average Joe's who were just there for a good time.

Then there was Nanako who was also getting some strange men who all wanted her to step on them for the most part. At first, this question got a chuckle out of her and even garnered some slight interest in her eyes but she just laughed it off and talked with them for a few moments. However, after around 50 people it seemed to get old quickly and those who asked got a slightly cold response from her.

Burning Roses were still a growing band so Ashton just assumed that a lot of these people were here just because of the member's appearance and nothing else but he hoped that at least a few of them were becoming fans.

The only member that wasn't partaking in the meet and greet was the leader Miko who was missing from the table much to the disappointment of Ashton but he still thought it was cool to meet the others.

It was finally his turn in line. When Ashton stepped up as the next person in line he had the option of meeting one member of his choosing this time which was written on the sign at the entrance to the table and members.

It put Ashton in a dilemma since the leader Miko his favorite of the group wasn't present he didn't have any reason to choose one over the other. So he did what any sane person would do and did an eenie meenie miny moe to choose which person. As he began choosing in his mind he suddenly realized that the three members of the group were no longer looking at the current fan in front of them but instead stealing a side glancing and staring directly at him.

It was strange, to say the least. This entire time he felt like he had gotten glances from the group whether that be during the concert or even beforehand. He thought he had been just going crazy to even think like that but maybe he wasn't imagining it after all which begged the question of why they were looking at him.

"Which member were you wanting to meet sir?" One of the guards that was blocking off the line to the table asked Ashton bringing him out of his head.

"Um, I think I would like to meet Mai." Ashton answered finally deciding on who to meet. When Ashton said this there was clear joy painted on Mai's expression for some reason while Nanako and Suko had a hint of displeasure that quickly disappeared before they focused on who they were talking to once more.

The guard nodded his head in understanding not realizing the events happening behind him before bringing Ashton over to Mai who stood waiting with a smile on her face, "Hi there I'm Mai it's nice to finally meet you!" Mai introduced herself with a cute bow.

Ashton like a few of the other people in the room caught how she said it was nice to 'finally' meet him which left him a little confused, "I'm Ashton it's nice to meet you too. I've been going to your concerts since the first time you guys debuted here." Ashton said with a smile choosing to ignore the peculiar choice of words that Mai had chosen.

"Oh believe me I know! All the work you have done since we started has been very appreciated between you and me. It was hilarious the first time I saw you accidentally flip your camera to show your face!" Mai said chuckling to herself while seemingly making sure that she wasn't loud enough for those nearby to hear their conversation.

This news was embarrassing, shocking, and confusing on many levels for Ashton as he had no idea that there was even a chance for Burning Roses to know of his existence. He had never even considered the idea and was very intrigued, "You know about that?! I'm so embarrassed." Ashton admitted as he put his hands to his face not knowing how to react especially since he flipped the camera the wrong way and she knew about it.

"Haha, no reason to get all blushy on me now. It's completely fine I appreciate what you've done and I'm not the on-"

"Hey, that's quite enough." A voice suddenly jutted in as Mai was midway through her sentence.
