Dreams Come True Ch. 5
By Ryu Dragon

On the next day, in the afternoon.

*Hmm… what should I wear ?* thought Ryu while he's trying to decide what to wear for going to the concert. He smiles *Look at me… I'm look like a fresh teenager going for the first date* he chuckles, at last he settled with white T-shirt, black jeans and black jacket *simple but nice* he thought. Suddenly Sean came in "Going for another date, boss ?"

"You can say that. Actually, I'm invited to ECC concert tonight." - Ryu.

"O wow, cool, can I come with you too ?" - Sean.

"Well, I don't mind, we can try to get in using my pass. But I thought you got a date with Miss Ling ?" - Ryu.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. Hmmm… which one should I go ?" - Sean.

"Up to you, c'mon decide quickly, I don't wanna be late to the concert." - Ryu.

"Oww…alright, I'll call Miss Ling first to cancel our date." - Sean, he picks up the phone.

"And I thought you like her ?" - Ryu teasing Sean.

"Aww, c'mon boss, don't… Oh hello, operator ? can you get me room 211 please… miss Ling… yup, thank you…" silent a moment "Hi Ling Ling, umm… listen, about the date tonight… err… something came up, my boss asked me to go with him for some business…" get a light punch by Ryu " so… alright, you understand, thanks a lot… hmmm how about tomorrow night ? okay, great, it's a date. Bye."

Ryu shook his head looking at Sean "Someday you're gonna be sorry for being a playboy like that. By the way, you owe me one for using me as your excuse."

"Hehehe, sorry boss, that's the only excuse I can think of at the moment." - Sean.

"Alright, come on. We have to go now." - Ryu.

"Okay." - Sean.

In the stadium backstage…

Chun Li looks very nervous, she kept walking while doing her hair, causing her hair stylist furious "Chun Li, can you just stop walking for a minute ? I can't do your hair if you keep walking like this." Finally she stops walking and sit down. Eliza looks at her, smiles and tap her shoulder "Don't worry Chun Li, he'll come, you know."

"Huh, who do you mean ? I'm just a bit nervous before the concert." - Chun Li tries to hides her feeling unsuccessfully.

"You know what I meant. In fact he's coming now." - Eliza, pointing at the door.

"Ryuuu !!!" - Chun Li, as she gets up and run to Ryu, causing her hair stylist freak up.

"Hi Chun Li, how are you ?" - Ryu.

"I'm fine, thanks, so you come eh. ?" - Chun Li.

"What do you mean by that ? Of course I come. A man must keep his own words." - Ryu, smiles.

"Hehehe, really ? Anyway, who is he ?" - Chun Li, looking at Sean.

"Ohh, Chun Li, meet my secretary and my best karate student, Sean. Sean, this is Chun Li." - Ryu.

"Hi, how are you Miss Li ?" - Sean.

"Hi too Sean, nice to meet you. So you're Ryu's student. Ryu tell me a lot about you." - Chun Li.

"Really? I hope its the good ones. And he also told me a lot about you Miss Li." - Sean.

"Please, call me Chun Li. Well, lets see, he told me that you're a very good person and diligent too, but also a playboy." - Chun Li, winks at Ryu.

"I prefer a charming guy." - Sean, smiles "And I can't call you by your name Miss Li, it'll be not polite, you're older than me."

"Aww, that's alright, or… just call me Li Cie Cie (Sister Li), is that okay ?" - Chun Li.

"Alright." - Sean.

"Are you ready for the concert Chun Li ?" - Ryu.

"Oh, just after my hairdo done. Jade, what are you doing ? You're suppose to do my hair, not sit there like nothing to do." - Chun Li to her hair stylist. Cammy and Eliza just smiles looking at Jade shakes her head and can't say a word.

Ryu also introduce Sean to the other two ECC members "Sean, this is Eliza, the main singer, and that is Cammy White."

"Hi Miss Eliza, Miss Cammy, how are you ?" - Sean, nod at the two girls.

"My, my. Ryu, you do have a good secretary and student." - Cammy.

"Just be careful, he's a playboy." - Ryu, grins.

"Ohh, are you, Sean ?" - Cammy, teasing Sean.

"I prefer the phrase charming guy." - Sean, grins.

"Hehe, cute. And I suppose a 'charming guy' like you don't have a girlfriend yet ?" - Cammy.

"No Miss Cammy, I don't have a girlfriend, no time for that if you work with boss Ryu." - Sean, look around, hoping that Ryu won't punch him for what he said, but Ryu already gone chatting with Chun Li and Eliza.

"Poor you, but I don't believe it. A cute guy like you must have dating lots of girls." - Cammy.

"Well, I didn't say I don't have tome for dating girls, hehehe, I just said that I don't have time to have a girlfriend." - Sean.

"Smartmouth. I wonder how Ryu keeps up with you." - Cammy smiles.

Just then, Rose came, and asked them to get ready, because the opening group has finished their performance. The ECC girls quickly get up and ready to roll. Just before they get out, Chun Li gives Ryu a kiss on the cheek.

"Good luck Chun Li, make them roll." - Ryu.

"Oo, don't you dare to think that I won't, hehehe." - Chun Li.

They then get on to the stage, as they get on, the crowd cheer and cheer like mad, like their cheers are going to torn down the stadium. They start with their first hit 'I'm Yours Forever' (Ed: heck, don't ask me how to sing it, this is just an imaginary song ok.), then continue with some of their hits. The crowd is like being hypnotized by their song, they really dance when the ECC sang dance songs, and quiet when they sang slow songs. And that's not only happen on the front line, but also what happened at the back rows. Eventually they sing Ryu's favorite song 'Where Are You My Love?'

We used to have fun together
Going out together
Like no care of the day
Just the two of us

We used to be happy together
Play together in the sunshine
Kissing in the moonlight
Just the two of us

Chorus: But now you're gone
Gone forever like yesterday
Where are you my love ?
Why you torture me like this ?
Is it me who's changing ?
Please come back to me my love

We used to love each other
You love me, I love you
The world is ours
Just the two of us

Chorus 2x

After the song finished, Ryu just realize that he cries, only a bit, but he was so touched by the song and the way Chun Li sang the song (Ed: the main reason why this song is his favorite is because Chun Li is the main singer in this song.). After the song, they sing another three songs then the concert is finished. And the cheer from the crowd is madder than before.

After the concert they (ECC girls, Ryu and Sean) went back to ECC's hotel, they chat, joke and play together until almost midnight, then Ryu and Sean, have to force themselves to go back to their hotel. Ryu and Sean promise the girls to see them on the airport tomorrow.

The next day at the airport…

The girls are waiting for their flight, and for the boys who're apparently late. So they talk about the boys. "So, what do you think Chun Li ?" - Cammy.

"Huh ? what do you mean ?" - Chun Li.

"You know what I meant, about your relation with Ryu. Are you going to continue ?" - Cammy.

"I… I don't know, I mean, I want to, but what about him ? I mean the fact that we're not in the same country." - Chun Li.

"That can be arranged Chun Li, you can go to Japan or maybe he can lives in Hong Kong." - Eliza.

"Well, that's true, but I have to see what's his plan first, I mean I can't force him to continue our relation, right ?" - Chun Li.

"That's true, we'll see. Ah, here they come now." - Eliza as she saw Ryu and Sean running toward them.

*Puff, puff* "Sorry we're late, traffic jam." - Ryu.

"That's okay, at least you guys come." - Chun Li.

Ryu is about to say something but before he say it, suddenly there is a call for ECC's flight.

"Oh, there's our flight." - Chun Li.

"Umm… Chun Li, can I talk with you just a minute ?" - Ryu.

"Okay." - Chun Li. As they moved a bit away.

After moved far enough, Ryu holds Chun Li's hands "Well, I guess this is it." - Ryu.

"Yeah." - Chun Li, smiles sadly. *I guess I was hoping too much.*

Ryu then put something on Chun Li's hand, a blue silk hair ribbon. "This is for you, so you won't forget me."

Tears welled up in Chun Li's eyes "Oh Ryu, thank you. I won't forget you. You made me really happy in these few days." She then take out something from her pocket, and put it on Ryu's hand, a gold dragon pin. "And this is for you, Ryu."

Ryu feels his eyes wet, but didn't want Chun Li to see his sadness, so he hug Chun Li, and closes his eyes. Chun Li cannot hold her tears any longer and she cries on Ryu's chest.

After a while, the last call for boarding is announced. Ryu and Chun Li then release their hug. "I have to go, that's the last call." - Chun Li.

"Yeah, good bye Chun Li. I'm gonna miss you." - Ryu.

"I will too, Ryu. Good bye." - Chun Li.

Ryu then say good bye to the other ECC members and also Rose. After the ECC went through the gate and can't be seen any longer. Ryu whispered to himself "I will come for you Chun Li, wait for me."
