It's a new day at the Institute of War. Ahri, Grey, and Nidalee came out of their room with Silver on the Abyss Watcher's shoulder.
"So, did you two enjoy your date?" Nidalee asked as they walked through the hallway.
"Oh, it was wonderful," Ahri replied remembering the Blood moon festival. "I finally got a chance to play after watching for so long, and with a lover no less. I've never had so much fun."
The Abyss Watcher smiled seeing Ahri so happy. Her honest smile always managed to brighten up his day.
Grey then turned to Nidalee. "Anyway, how were you yesterday?"
The huntress shrugged. "It was pretty good, boring but good. I showed Neeko around, which was interesting," she replied recalling what she did while Ahri and Grey were on their date.
"Did you sleep well?" Ahri asked suddenly.
Nidalee nodded. "Yes, it was very-" she suddenly stopped and gave them a deadpan look. "You two did it last night, didn't you?" she stated rather than asked.
Both Ahri and Grey looked at each other before the Nine-Tailed Vastayan said, "Well, at least we know the new soundproofing works," before she continued walking.
The Abyss Watcher just sighed and continued walking forward towards the dining hall. However, along the way, he noticed something.
It wasn't that important, but the summoners around seemed to be excited about something. They were chatting with each other excitedly and were moving a little faster than before.
"Is it just me, or do the summoners seem more… excited than normal?" Ahri asked noticing the same thing as Grey.
The huntress shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe there's a new event or something. I heard that Summoners usually have events for special occasions," she informed her roommates who nodded and decided to ignore them for now.
They reached the dining hall, picked up their food, and looked for a table to sit in. They found Aki, Brite, Solas, and Tiara sitting together.
"Morning, everyone," Ahri greeted as she and her roommates sat down in a close table after giving Silver his food.
"Oh, morning, Ahri," Aki was the first to return the greeting.
Tiara immediately looked at her brother. "So, how was the date?" she asked while sparing a glare at Ahri. "Did the fox f*ck it up like I was expecting?"
The Nine-Tailed Vastayan glared at the Outrider Knight, while Grey was resisting the urge to face-palm. "It went great, and having Ahri there was what made it like that."
His sister rolled her eyes and Ahri looked around to see that the summoners are still being excited. "Hey, Aki, what's up with the Summoners?" she asked.
The Shy summoner looked confused for a second before she remembered something. "Oh, right. There are two new group skins coming out today. Their popularity skyrocketed just by announcing them. Apparently, there is this event going to be held by the group skins, so everyone is pumped up about it."
"New group skins?" Solas asked raising an eyebrow. "Who are they for?"
Aki put a hand on her chin, thinking. "Well, I know Ahri is part of one of the groups, but I don't know the rest of the group she's in. As for the other group, it's made up of you four," she said motioning towards Grey, Brite, Solas, and Tiara.
"Us?" Grey asked surprised.
"Well, they wanted something to bring the people from another world together, so they made the group skin," Aki explained shyly.
Tiara groaned. "Oh, that is just racist," she said referring to how they were put together simply because they are from another world.
"Do you even care?" Brite asked knowing that the Dancer never actually cared for racial business.
The Outrider Knight chuckled. "F*ck no, but I'll still use that as an excuse to yell at the summoners."
Her brother groaned and started massaging his forehead. He just knew that he was the one who's going to be cleaning up for his sister's mess.
"Anyway," Ahri started trying to change the subject, seeing Grey's obvious discomfort. "You said that I'll also have a new group skin, what do you know about it?"
Aki scratched her head in slight embarrassment. "I… actually have been a little busy learning spells lately. So, I don't know all the details, but I do know it's related to an old skin of yours."
The Nine-Tailed Vastayan raised a confused eyebrow, but her interest was still peaked. "Well, when is it coming out?" she asked.
"This afternoon, I believe," Aki replied. "You're supposed to get it at the stage."
"There's a stage?" Tiara asked rather surprised.
The Shy summoner nodded. "Yeah, they made a stage for either performances or music concerts. Thankfully, Jhin is forbidden from performing there."
What she said made sense to those who know the Virtuoso. They couldn't imagine people lining up to see what Jhin would call a 'show'.
"Well, I guess now we have something to do today," Grey noted as he finished his breakfast. "What do you guys want to do until the afternoon?" he asked since it was still morning.
"Nidalee!" Neeko yelled out as she came in running.
"Oh, Neeko," the Huntress noted as she looked at the chameleon.
"There you are," Neeko continued as she reached forward. The chameleon then looked at Grey. "Oh, you're the guy that suddenly got angry at the pretty fox."
"Yes, sorry for exploding like that," the Abyss Watcher apologized thinking that he scared her.
But, much to his surprise, Neeko shook her head. "No, it's okay. I can see you really care for her, and I can tell something happened to you that made you this angry," what she said made the others realize that, despite how she acts, Neeko was smarter than she looks. "Anyway, now that your friend is back, can we finally go to the garden?" she asked Nidalee.
Nidalee sighed. Ever since the fight between Grey and Ahri, Neeko wanted to see the garden but Nidalee told her to wait until Grey gets back.
"I guess some fresh air can't hurt," Grey said as he stood up.
Ahri also stood up. "I'll go to, it's been a while since I saw the garden."
"I do need to visit storm again," Solas said, also standing up.
"I guess there's your answer," Nidalee chuckled as Neeko did a cheer of victory. "Alright, let's go."
They all stood up and started making their way out of the dining hall and headed towards the garden. After a few turns and hallways, they passed through the garden's green gates.
They saw the green life that covers the garden. Storm was resting under a tree, covering himself from the heat of the sun.
The Sun's First Born immediately went to see his friend, who raised his head at sensing them. Brite followed after him. While Grey, Ahri Tiara, Nidalee, and Neeko just stood near the entrance.
The chameleon was looking around with something akin to childish wonder. "Wow, this place is amazing!" she cried out as she immediately started running towards the trees.
"Careful, Neeko!" Nidalee called out as she knew Zyra might get angry at her.
"She's quite lively, isn't she," Grey stated rather than asked.
His sister groaned. "A little too loud for my taste, though."
"I agree," Zyra added as she appeared from deep within the garden. "Good to see you're back, Grey."
"You as well, Zyra," The Abyss Watcher returned the greeting.
"Hey, Nidalee, can I ask you something?" Ahri requested as the Huntress replied with a nod. "How do you know Neeko?"
Nidalee smiled crossing her arms. "One day, I noticed that a new cougar of the tribe that adopted me started acting strange, and the next thing I knew, it turned to Neeko who was running away from Noxian hunters. I helped her around the forest and taught her how to survive. But, one day, she wanted to go out and explore the world. She wanted me to join her, but I declined. I haven't seen her since," she explained with a fond smile before it turned to an awkward one. "Also, you should know that Neeko is… well…" She seemed to be struggling with words.
"She's gay, isn't she?" Tiara asked drawing looks around. Ahri and Zyra were looking at her in disbelief, Grey with a 'Are you serious' look, and Nidalee looked a little shocked.
"Yes…" Nidalee admitted but still kept looking at Tiara. "How did you know?"
The Outrider Knight started counting by raising her fingers. "Will, for one thing, she's been staring at my ass the entire way here. Not that I blame her, though. It's a fine ass," she added gaining deadpan looks. "And two, she's also been taking looks at Ahri's revealing outfit. And three, she hasn't as much as even looked at a man unless she was talking to him."
The huntress started scratching her head. "Yeah, there's that," she said but smiled. "But, other than that, she's fun to be around. Honestly taking care of Neeko is like taking care of a child," she said before looking to where her friend has gone. "NEEKO!" she yelled in worry.
The reason for her worry is that she found the chameleon laughing and dangling on a tree branch… above a large venus trap plant that was slowly going towards her.
"Zyra! What the hell!" Nidalee yelled as she immediately went to save her friend.
The Carnivore woman immediately raised her hands to show her innocence. "Don't look at me! I didn't even know she was there!"

It was now the afternoon, the time for the new skin to come out. Grey, Ahri, Brite, Solas, and Tiara were being led by Aki towards the stage.
They made it to a pair of doors that were the same design as the garden's doors but colored blue.
Once inside, they took notice of a really large stage that looked like it can be used for both a concert and a play.

"Your skin should be by the backstage," Aki informed them as she led them through the rows and rows of chairs.
After making it to the backstage, they took notice of a few other champions. One being Akali, Sona as well, the other, surprisingly, was Evelynn, and a new champion they haven't met yet.
It was a rather young looking woman. She had black hair that reached her back and purple eyes and markings on her face. She was wearing a purple, flesh looking suit that apparently was fused with her skin.
There were a couple of more summoners there. "Ah, there you are, champions," one of the Summoners noted their arrival.
Aki moved beside the summoners, although hesitantly. Grey, Ahri, Brite, Solas, and Tiara moved beside the other champions.
"Hey, Akali," Ahri greeted. However, the rogue assassin was silently looking at the floor. "Akali, are you okay?" she asked.
Akali broke out of her thoughts and looked at them in surprise. "O-Oh, hey," she greeted, although sounding a little shaking.
"Did something happen?" Grey asked a little concerned about how their friend was acting.
The rogue assassin wanted to say something, but remembering Ama's words, she shook her head. "Nah, just thinking about the new skin and all."
The others were obviously not convinced. However, they decided to drop it for now to not damper the mood.
"Good to see you again, Sona," Grey greeted the Maven. "You have a new skin, too?"
The mute girl smiled and nodded. [You, too, Grey.] she returned the greeting before shaking her head. [And no, I don't. The summoner just asked for my help with something.]
The Abyss Watcher nodded and then looked at the unknown champion. "I don't believe we got your name, Ms…" he trailed off hoping that she would answer.
The unknown champion, who was leaning on a wall crossing her arms, looked at him and answered. "Kai'sa, Daughter of the Void."
The summoners, including Aki, nodded together. "Alright, please be ready, champions," he then motioned to Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, and Kai'sa. "First, you four."
The four girls nodded and stood together beside each other before the summoners all started casting a spell. After a few seconds, they appeared in the new skin.
Ahri now was blonde. One of her fox ears had a Heart-shaped piercing, and her tails looked like they were made of diamonds. She was wearing a black bodysuit that started at her chest and ended at her upper thighs. She was also wearing a short white jacket with the straps falling over her shoulders. And for shoes, she was wearing high heels that reached her above her knees.
Akali's hair was now a dark shade of purple. She was wearing a cap on her head. Her top was white under a baggy jacket. She was wearing skinny jeans with its left leg gone. Her left leg was wearing a thigh-high sock.
Evelynn, well, she actually looked human. Her skin was only slightly pale, unlike the usual blue color. Her hair was now a mixture of red and purple. She was wearing a black skin skirt with golden accessories and a black top with a short fur coat. She had claws made of gold and her lashers were now made of silk with arrow-shaped golden and diamond pieces at the end.
Kai'sa also looked more human. Gone was her purple organic-looking suit. It was replaced by a pair of skinny jeans with a black top that had a golden chest. Her hair was now light purple and over her shoulders were two canons made of gold and diamond.
Ahri looked over herself. "Wow, this is pretty good," she said before she moved her tails and ran her hand through their now crystal look. "Shiny."
Evelynn looked at her nails and lashers. "Not usually my style to shine so much, but it's okay, I guess."
Akali looked over herself and shrugged. "Not bad," she said moving her legs around to test her movement.
Kai'sa looked at herself and looked like she was having mixed feelings. "It's… good I guess," she said looking herself over.
Now Ahri knew what Aki was talking about when she said its related to an old skin. she remembers having something called pop star skin when she last checked on hers.
"This skin is for a new pop star group called K/DA," one of the summoners informed them.
"A group? with them?" Evelynn asked looking almost disgusted. "I'd rather choke myself with my lashers."
"Yeah, I can't imagine her being in any group," Ahri said looking displeased of sharing something with the lust demon.
Meanwhile, Kai'sa looked rather awkward. "Are you sure you have the right person for this?" she asked not thinking it didn't suit her.
"I don't know," Akali said as she took out her kunai and found it to be made of gold. "I kind of like this skin," she said as she started flipping her kunai in the air.
"I assure you that we made sure of who was chosen for this and it is for you four," a summoner replied which made Kai'sa sigh knowing she wasn't getting out of this while Ahri and Evelynn huffed and turned from each other. "Now for you four," the summoner then turned to Grey, Brite, Solas, and Tiara. "Please step forward."
The summoners including Aki all waved their hands to cast a spell again. the four champions from another world took a step forward with the Abyss Watcher giving Silver to Ahri before they were covered in light and they all appeared in their new skins.
Grey was now wearing a black, long-sleeved shirt. His usual blood-red cape was replaced by a bright blue one that seemed to have a shine to it. The armor on his left shoulder was replaced by a new one that was shaped like a wolf's head. His trousers were also black with silver combat boots that had blue straps. His sword was the same shape, but it looked like it was made from a dark blue crystal. the cross-guard had a speaker on each of its front and back. His dagger was replaced by a mike that had a blade at the bottom. Also, unlike Grey's usual skins, this one didn't cover his face but actually left it for anyone to see.
Brite was now wearing a pale white shirt that had long pale silver sleeves under with the crest of the Warriors of Sunlight at the chest. Over the shirt was a short bright green vest. His pants were now black with pale silver boots. On his head was a pale silver fedora with a red feather in it. His glaive was replaced with a rather long bass that seemed to be made of a black crystal.
Tiara was now wearing a black tank top under a long-sleeved jean jacket. She was wearing a skinny skirt that reached her mid-thighs. she was wearing high heeled boots with fishnet stockings. Her shoulder-length hair, which is usually held in a low ponytail, is now flowing freely with a red shade covering the edges. Her two swords were replaced by two drumming sticks, both of them longer than normal, one was made of a blue crystal while the other was made of a red one.
As for Solas, he was now a gold-colored shirt with the sleeves being ripped off. He was also wearing a pair of jeans with scuffed knees along with dark Silver boots. His hair was now out of its usual long and wild look. Instead, it was quite short and spiky. He was now holding a large guitar that was in the shape of his Sword-spear. The guitar was made of a bright golden crystal that seemed to have electricity floating inside it.
"This skin is for a new Rock and Rap music band called the Symphony Souls," the Summoner informed them.
The Abyss Watcher looked over himself. "I have to admit, this is pretty good," he admitted before looking at his sword. "A little overboard with the blade but still good."
"I think it suits you," Ahri said looking him over as Silver barked in agreement. "The wolf head is a nice touch, too," she added looking over his shoulder armor.
Sona was also looking over Grey, but she was too busy gawking to give a compliment. This was pretty much her ideal version of the Abyss Watcher, and she'd be lying if she said she hadn't had fantasies of them doing concerts together before.
The Nine-tailed Vastaya noticed the Maven's look, and she didn't like it. "Hey, that's my boyfriend you're drooling at," she said trying to sound threatening.
However, Sona simply continued doing what she was doing and responded by giving Ahri a single hand sign that anyone can understand. Which is pointing a certain finger at the ceiling. What surprised Ahri more was that no one seemed to notice what Sona did.
"Not bad," Tiara said as she twirled her drumming sticks between her fingers.
"I don't know what a rock and rap band is, but I like it," Brite said looking over his clothes.
"That crest was my idea," Aki admitted making Brite look at her surprised. "I-I knew you would probably want it, so I had them add it for you."
The Silver Knight smiled and looked down at the crest of the Warriors of Sunlight on his chest. "Thank you, Aki. That's sweet of you," he said in gratitude.
the shy Summoner nodded and looked away with some pink dusting her cheeks. This short conversation was not missed by Ahri, who smiled mischievously and made a mental note to bring this up later.
Solas looked over himself and ran a hand through his now short hair. "While not my usual style, it is pretty good," he said before looking at the summoners. "So, does bringing us here has something to do with the skins we received?" he asked knowing that they couldn't have brought them here just to give them the skin.
One of the Summoners nodded. "Yes, there is, to be allowed to keep the skins, you must do a musical performance. In other words, make a song," he said catching everyone's attention. "Rest assured, the Institute already prepared the lyrics and roles for each of you."
Sona now understood why she was asked to be her. it was to help make the sounds for the music groups. an ability of her Etwahl is that it can make any sound she desires.
All of them nodded, except Grey and Kai'sa. "I guess I'm losing this skin," the Abyss Watcher said implying that he won't be singing. Sona's neck twitched suddenly as if it was just snapped.
"Yeah," Kai'sa seemed to agree with him. But, she seemed more embarrassed than the Abyss Watcher. "I'm telling you, you got the wrong person."
"Oh, come on," Akali suddenly threw her arm over Kai'sa's shoulder. "It could be fun. Plus, I wanted to try out rapping lately."
"But-but I-" Kai'sa didn't get to finish as Akali started dragging her to the stage while following one of the summoners. the Daughter of the Void sighed and just accepted her fate. Evelynn rolled her eyes and followed them deciding to get this over with.
Tiara turned to her brother. "Well, that just happened. And what about you?"
"Sorry, but I ain't doing it," Grey repeated and looked at the other two males of the group. "You two agree with me, right?"
To his surprise, Brite shook his head. "I honestly think it could be fun."
"I believe that it can be a good new experience," Solas agreed with the other two members.
the Dancer smirked at her. "Three against one. the vote is in our favor."
The Abyss Watcher obviously looked uncomfortable, so Ahri stepped forward. "Alright, if he doesn't want to do it, then he doesn't have to," she said much to her lover's relief.
However, Ahri then felt someone tapping her shoulder. She looked and saw Sona holding up a note with <You know Ahri, that skin along with yours looks like a wonderful couple skin together.> written on it.
Ahri stared at the paper for a few seconds before looking back at her lover. "Grey, what are you waiting for? go ahead and sing!" she practically ordered.
"Wait, what?" the Abyss Watcher looked at her confused. "What happened to what I want?" he asked referring to Ahri's earlier statement.
"Who cares about what you want? it's not like you wanted to show up on Runeterra in the first place!" Ahri countered as she started pushing him forward. "So go ahead, and sing!"
"You heard the lady," Tiara said as she started dragging her brother by the arm. "Let's go," she said as she, Brite, and Solas followed another summoner while dragging Grey.
Ahri looked rather proud of herself, that was until Aki spoke. "Ahri, you do realize that Sona has at least three skins that would look like couples with Grey's new skin, right?"
the Nine-tailed Vastaya looked confused for a second until it finally hit her. She immediately started glaring at the Maven, who couldn't look more innocent, but Ahri knew better. "Why you little-"
"Ahri, come on!" Akali called out. Ahri spared one last glare at Sona before going with her designed group.
Time skip: (Brought to you by chibi K/DA Ahri and Chibi Symphony Souls Grey singing together on a stage.)
It was now night time, a few hours after sunset. Grey, Ahri, Brite, Solas, and Tiara were now back to their normal clothes. They were sitting in the dining hall with the rest of their friends. Including Aki, Ezreal, Lux, Garen, Katarina, Nidalee, and Sona.
Akali, Evelynn, and Kai'sa left to do their own thing. "So, they really picked you to make a music band?" Ezreal asked.
The Abyss Watcher nodded with a sigh of annoyance. "Why wasn't I picked for your group?" Lux asked Ahri, sounding rather envious.
Sona would have also asked the same question, but she supposed that she was famous enough already. Add the fact that being mute wouldn't actually help her as an idol.
"Trust me, you're better off without being in their group," Tiara said holding a paper that had Ahri's group's lyrics. "This stuff is ridiculous. 'Wild in my veins', what does that even mean? 'Wish you luck, but you're not bringing us down', why would you wish someone luck and then say they would lose anyway? That's just mean?"
The Nine-Tailed Vastayan rolled her eyes. "It's Pop music, Tiara. It's not supposed to make sense, it's just supposed to sound good," she said.
"Well, congratulations, Runeterra!" Tiara exclaimed throwing the paper away. "Once again, you proved to me that your just a pile of idiocy and runes."
Grey just sighed with a hand on his forehead. "I'm just glad that it's over. And I guess it's a good thing that no one actually listened to the song."
"Oh, I probably should have mentioned that it would be broadcasted soon," Aki said making the Abyss Watcher look at her wide-eyed. "S-Sorry."
Just as Grey was about to complain, the viewing orb appeared in the middle of the dining hall and started playing.
First, it played Pop/Star, by Ahri's group, K/DA. Then, it played the song by Grey's group, Symphony Souls, Fading Light. (Aviators, Fading Light.)
After the song was over, cheers and clapping erupted around the entire dining hall, all of them directed at the two groups.
The Lord of Cinder laid his head on the table. "Being a celebrity is annoying," he groaned.
(A/N: Thank you for reading this.
I'm pretty sure most of you are glad that the K/DA group showed up. Along with Grey's group, the Symphony Souls. While K/DA is meant for Pop music, while the Symphony Souls is more of a rock and rap music.
Sorry that there isn't much action in this chapter, but it'll start in the next one. Hopefully.
Also, I hope you noticed where Brite's costume gained its inspiration from.
Again, thank you for reading this. Please comment, review, and give me your thoughts on my story.)

It's a new day at the Institute of War. Ahri, Grey, and Nidalee came out of their room with Silver on the Abyss Watcher's shoulder.
"So, did you two enjoy your date?" Nidalee asked as they walked through the hallway.
"Oh, it was wonderful," Ahri replied remembering the Blood moon festival. "I finally got a chance to play after watching for so long, and with a lover no less. I've never had so much fun."
The Abyss Watcher smiled seeing Ahri so happy. Her honest smile always managed to brighten up his day.
Grey then turned to Nidalee. "Anyway, how were you yesterday?"
The huntress shrugged. "It was pretty good, boring but good. I showed Neeko around, which was interesting," she replied recalling what she did while Ahri and Grey were on their date.
"Did you sleep well?" Ahri asked suddenly.
Nidalee nodded. "Yes, it was very-" she suddenly stopped and gave them a deadpan look. "You two did it last night, didn't you?" she stated rather than asked.
Both Ahri and Grey looked at each other before the Nine-Tailed Vastayan said, "Well, at least we know the new soundproofing works," before she continued walking.
The Abyss Watcher just sighed and continued walking forward towards the dining hall. However, along the way, he noticed something.
It wasn't that important, but the summoners around seemed to be excited about something. They were chatting with each other excitedly and were moving a little faster than before.
"Is it just me, or do the summoners seem more… excited than normal?" Ahri asked noticing the same thing as Grey.
The huntress shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe there's a new event or something. I heard that Summoners usually have events for special occasions," she informed her roommates who nodded and decided to ignore them for now.
They reached the dining hall, picked up their food, and looked for a table to sit in. They found Aki, Brite, Solas, and Tiara sitting together.
"Morning, everyone," Ahri greeted as she and her roommates sat down in a close table after giving Silver his food.
"Oh, morning, Ahri," Aki was the first to return the greeting.
Tiara immediately looked at her brother. "So, how was the date?" she asked while sparing a glare at Ahri. "Did the fox f*ck it up like I was expecting?"
The Nine-Tailed Vastayan glared at the Outrider Knight, while Grey was resisting the urge to face-palm. "It went great, and having Ahri there was what made it like that."
His sister rolled her eyes and Ahri looked around to see that the summoners are still being excited. "Hey, Aki, what's up with the Summoners?" she asked.
The Shy summoner looked confused for a second before she remembered something. "Oh, right. There are two new group skins coming out today. Their popularity skyrocketed just by announcing them. Apparently, there is this event going to be held by the group skins, so everyone is pumped up about it."
"New group skins?" Solas asked raising an eyebrow. "Who are they for?"
Aki put a hand on her chin, thinking. "Well, I know Ahri is part of one of the groups, but I don't know the rest of the group she's in. As for the other group, it's made up of you four," she said motioning towards Grey, Brite, Solas, and Tiara.
"Us?" Grey asked surprised.
"Well, they wanted something to bring the people from another world together, so they made the group skin," Aki explained shyly.
Tiara groaned. "Oh, that is just racist," she said referring to how they were put together simply because they are from another world.
"Do you even care?" Brite asked knowing that the Dancer never actually cared for racial business.
The Outrider Knight chuckled. "F*ck no, but I'll still use that as an excuse to yell at the summoners."
Her brother groaned and started massaging his forehead. He just knew that he was the one who's going to be cleaning up for his sister's mess.
"Anyway," Ahri started trying to change the subject, seeing Grey's obvious discomfort. "You said that I'll also have a new group skin, what do you know about it?"
Aki scratched her head in slight embarrassment. "I… actually have been a little busy learning spells lately. So, I don't know all the details, but I do know it's related to an old skin of yours."
The Nine-Tailed Vastayan raised a confused eyebrow, but her interest was still peaked. "Well, when is it coming out?" she asked.
"This afternoon, I believe," Aki replied. "You're supposed to get it at the stage."
"There's a stage?" Tiara asked rather surprised.
The Shy summoner nodded. "Yeah, they made a stage for either performances or music concerts. Thankfully, Jhin is forbidden from performing there."
What she said made sense to those who know the Virtuoso. They couldn't imagine people lining up to see what Jhin would call a 'show'.
"Well, I guess now we have something to do today," Grey noted as he finished his breakfast. "What do you guys want to do until the afternoon?" he asked since it was still morning.
"Nidalee!" Neeko yelled out as she came in running.
"Oh, Neeko," the Huntress noted as she looked at the chameleon.
"There you are," Neeko continued as she reached forward. The chameleon then looked at Grey. "Oh, you're the guy that suddenly got angry at the pretty fox."
"Yes, sorry for exploding like that," the Abyss Watcher apologized thinking that he scared her.
But, much to his surprise, Neeko shook her head. "No, it's okay. I can see you really care for her, and I can tell something happened to you that made you this angry," what she said made the others realize that, despite how she acts, Neeko was smarter than she looks. "Anyway, now that your friend is back, can we finally go to the garden?" she asked Nidalee.
Nidalee sighed. Ever since the fight between Grey and Ahri, Neeko wanted to see the garden but Nidalee told her to wait until Grey gets back.
"I guess some fresh air can't hurt," Grey said as he stood up.
Ahri also stood up. "I'll go to, it's been a while since I saw the garden."
"I do need to visit storm again," Solas said, also standing up.
"I guess there's your answer," Nidalee chuckled as Neeko did a cheer of victory. "Alright, let's go."
They all stood up and started making their way out of the dining hall and headed towards the garden. After a few turns and hallways, they passed through the garden's green gates.
They saw the green life that covers the garden. Storm was resting under a tree, covering himself from the heat of the sun.
The Sun's First Born immediately went to see his friend, who raised his head at sensing them. Brite followed after him. While Grey, Ahri Tiara, Nidalee, and Neeko just stood near the entrance.
The chameleon was looking around with something akin to childish wonder. "Wow, this place is amazing!" she cried out as she immediately started running towards the trees.
"Careful, Neeko!" Nidalee called out as she knew Zyra might get angry at her.
"She's quite lively, isn't she," Grey stated rather than asked.
His sister groaned. "A little too loud for my taste, though."
"I agree," Zyra added as she appeared from deep within the garden. "Good to see you're back, Grey."
"You as well, Zyra," The Abyss Watcher returned the greeting.
"Hey, Nidalee, can I ask you something?" Ahri requested as the Huntress replied with a nod. "How do you know Neeko?"
Nidalee smiled crossing her arms. "One day, I noticed that a new cougar of the tribe that adopted me started acting strange, and the next thing I knew, it turned to Neeko who was running away from Noxian hunters. I helped her around the forest and taught her how to survive. But, one day, she wanted to go out and explore the world. She wanted me to join her, but I declined. I haven't seen her since," she explained with a fond smile before it turned to an awkward one. "Also, you should know that Neeko is… well…" She seemed to be struggling with words.
"She's gay, isn't she?" Tiara asked drawing looks around. Ahri and Zyra were looking at her in disbelief, Grey with a 'Are you serious' look, and Nidalee looked a little shocked.
"Yes…" Nidalee admitted but still kept looking at Tiara. "How did you know?"
The Outrider Knight started counting by raising her fingers. "Will, for one thing, she's been staring at my ass the entire way here. Not that I blame her, though. It's a fine ass," she added gaining deadpan looks. "And two, she's also been taking looks at Ahri's revealing outfit. And three, she hasn't as much as even looked at a man unless she was talking to him."
The huntress started scratching her head. "Yeah, there's that," she said but smiled. "But, other than that, she's fun to be around. Honestly taking care of Neeko is like taking care of a child," she said before looking to where her friend has gone. "NEEKO!" she yelled in worry.
The reason for her worry is that she found the chameleon laughing and dangling on a tree branch… above a large venus trap plant that was slowly going towards her.
"Zyra! What the hell!" Nidalee yelled as she immediately went to save her friend.
The Carnivore woman immediately raised her hands to show her innocence. "Don't look at me! I didn't even know she was there!"

It was now the afternoon, the time for the new skin to come out. Grey, Ahri, Brite, Solas, and Tiara were being led by Aki towards the stage.
They made it to a pair of doors that were the same design as the garden's doors but colored blue.
Once inside, they took notice of a really large stage that looked like it can be used for both a concert and a play.

"Your skin should be by the backstage," Aki informed them as she led them through the rows and rows of chairs.
After making it to the backstage, they took notice of a few other champions. One being Akali, Sona as well, the other, surprisingly, was Evelynn, and a new champion they haven't met yet.
It was a rather young looking woman. She had black hair that reached her back and purple eyes and markings on her face. She was wearing a purple, flesh looking suit that apparently was fused with her skin.
There were a couple of more summoners there. "Ah, there you are, champions," one of the Summoners noted their arrival.
Aki moved beside the summoners, although hesitantly. Grey, Ahri, Brite, Solas, and Tiara moved beside the other champions.
"Hey, Akali," Ahri greeted. However, the rogue assassin was silently looking at the floor. "Akali, are you okay?" she asked.
Akali broke out of her thoughts and looked at them in surprise. "O-Oh, hey," she greeted, although sounding a little shaking.
"Did something happen?" Grey asked a little concerned about how their friend was acting.
The rogue assassin wanted to say something, but remembering Ama's words, she shook her head. "Nah, just thinking about the new skin and all."
The others were obviously not convinced. However, they decided to drop it for now to not damper the mood.
"Good to see you again, Sona," Grey greeted the Maven. "You have a new skin, too?"
The mute girl smiled and nodded. [You, too, Grey.] she returned the greeting before shaking her head. [And no, I don't. The summoner just asked for my help with something.]
The Abyss Watcher nodded and then looked at the unknown champion. "I don't believe we got your name, Ms…" he trailed off hoping that she would answer.
The unknown champion, who was leaning on a wall crossing her arms, looked at him and answered. "Kai'sa, Daughter of the Void."
The summoners, including Aki, nodded together. "Alright, please be ready, champions," he then motioned to Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, and Kai'sa. "First, you four."
The four girls nodded and stood together beside each other before the summoners all started casting a spell. After a few seconds, they appeared in the new skin.
Ahri now was blonde. One of her fox ears had a Heart-shaped piercing, and her tails looked like they were made of diamonds. She was wearing a black bodysuit that started at her chest and ended at her upper thighs. She was also wearing a short white jacket with the straps falling over her shoulders. And for shoes, she was wearing high heels that reached her above her knees.
Akali's hair was now a dark shade of purple. She was wearing a cap on her head. Her top was white under a baggy jacket. She was wearing skinny jeans with its left leg gone. Her left leg was wearing a thigh-high sock.
Evelynn, well, she actually looked human. Her skin was only slightly pale, unlike the usual blue color. Her hair was now a mixture of red and purple. She was wearing a black skin skirt with golden accessories and a black top with a short fur coat. She had claws made of gold and her lashers were now made of silk with arrow-shaped golden and diamond pieces at the end.
Kai'sa also looked more human. Gone was her purple organic-looking suit. It was replaced by a pair of skinny jeans with a black top that had a golden chest. Her hair was now light purple and over her shoulders were two canons made of gold and diamond.
Ahri looked over herself. "Wow, this is pretty good," she said before she moved her tails and ran her hand through their now crystal look. "Shiny."
Evelynn looked at her nails and lashers. "Not usually my style to shine so much, but it's okay, I guess."
Akali looked over herself and shrugged. "Not bad," she said moving her legs around to test her movement.
Kai'sa looked at herself and looked like she was having mixed feelings. "It's… good I guess," she said looking herself over.
Now Ahri knew what Aki was talking about when she said its related to an old skin. she remembers having something called pop star skin when she last checked on hers.
"This skin is for a new pop star group called K/DA," one of the summoners informed them.
"A group? with them?" Evelynn asked looking almost disgusted. "I'd rather choke myself with my lashers."
"Yeah, I can't imagine her being in any group," Ahri said looking displeased of sharing something with the lust demon.
Meanwhile, Kai'sa looked rather awkward. "Are you sure you have the right person for this?" she asked not thinking it didn't suit her.
"I don't know," Akali said as she took out her kunai and found it to be made of gold. "I kind of like this skin," she said as she started flipping her kunai in the air.
"I assure you that we made sure of who was chosen for this and it is for you four," a summoner replied which made Kai'sa sigh knowing she wasn't getting out of this while Ahri and Evelynn huffed and turned from each other. "Now for you four," the summoner then turned to Grey, Brite, Solas, and Tiara. "Please step forward."
The summoners including Aki all waved their hands to cast a spell again. the four champions from another world took a step forward with the Abyss Watcher giving Silver to Ahri before they were covered in light and they all appeared in their new skins.
Grey was now wearing a black, long-sleeved shirt. His usual blood-red cape was replaced by a bright blue one that seemed to have a shine to it. The armor on his left shoulder was replaced by a new one that was shaped like a wolf's head. His trousers were also black with silver combat boots that had blue straps. His sword was the same shape, but it looked like it was made from a dark blue crystal. the cross-guard had a speaker on each of its front and back. His dagger was replaced by a mike that had a blade at the bottom. Also, unlike Grey's usual skins, this one didn't cover his face but actually left it for anyone to see.
Brite was now wearing a pale white shirt that had long pale silver sleeves under with the crest of the Warriors of Sunlight at the chest. Over the shirt was a short bright green vest. His pants were now black with pale silver boots. On his head was a pale silver fedora with a red feather in it. His glaive was replaced with a rather long bass that seemed to be made of a black crystal.
Tiara was now wearing a black tank top under a long-sleeved jean jacket. She was wearing a skinny skirt that reached her mid-thighs. she was wearing high heeled boots with fishnet stockings. Her shoulder-length hair, which is usually held in a low ponytail, is now flowing freely with a red shade covering the edges. Her two swords were replaced by two drumming sticks, both of them longer than normal, one was made of a blue crystal while the other was made of a red one.
As for Solas, he was now a gold-colored shirt with the sleeves being ripped off. He was also wearing a pair of jeans with scuffed knees along with dark Silver boots. His hair was now out of its usual long and wild look. Instead, it was quite short and spiky. He was now holding a large guitar that was in the shape of his Sword-spear. The guitar was made of a bright golden crystal that seemed to have electricity floating inside it.
"This skin is for a new Rock and Rap music band called the Symphony Souls," the Summoner informed them.
The Abyss Watcher looked over himself. "I have to admit, this is pretty good," he admitted before looking at his sword. "A little overboard with the blade but still good."
"I think it suits you," Ahri said looking him over as Silver barked in agreement. "The wolf head is a nice touch, too," she added looking over his shoulder armor.
Sona was also looking over Grey, but she was too busy gawking to give a compliment. This was pretty much her ideal version of the Abyss Watcher, and she'd be lying if she said she hadn't had fantasies of them doing concerts together before.
The Nine-tailed Vastaya noticed the Maven's look, and she didn't like it. "Hey, that's my boyfriend you're drooling at," she said trying to sound threatening.
However, Sona simply continued doing what she was doing and responded by giving Ahri a single hand sign that anyone can understand. Which is pointing a certain finger at the ceiling. What surprised Ahri more was that no one seemed to notice what Sona did.
"Not bad," Tiara said as she twirled her drumming sticks between her fingers.
"I don't know what a rock and rap band is, but I like it," Brite said looking over his clothes.
"That crest was my idea," Aki admitted making Brite look at her surprised. "I-I knew you would probably want it, so I had them add it for you."
The Silver Knight smiled and looked down at the crest of the Warriors of Sunlight on his chest. "Thank you, Aki. That's sweet of you," he said in gratitude.
the shy Summoner nodded and looked away with some pink dusting her cheeks. This short conversation was not missed by Ahri, who smiled mischievously and made a mental note to bring this up later.
Solas looked over himself and ran a hand through his now short hair. "While not my usual style, it is pretty good," he said before looking at the summoners. "So, does bringing us here has something to do with the skins we received?" he asked knowing that they couldn't have brought them here just to give them the skin.
One of the Summoners nodded. "Yes, there is, to be allowed to keep the skins, you must do a musical performance. In other words, make a song," he said catching everyone's attention. "Rest assured, the Institute already prepared the lyrics and roles for each of you."
Sona now understood why she was asked to be her. it was to help make the sounds for the music groups. an ability of her Etwahl is that it can make any sound she desires.
All of them nodded, except Grey and Kai'sa. "I guess I'm losing this skin," the Abyss Watcher said implying that he won't be singing. Sona's neck twitched suddenly as if it was just snapped.
"Yeah," Kai'sa seemed to agree with him. But, she seemed more embarrassed than the Abyss Watcher. "I'm telling you, you got the wrong person."
"Oh, come on," Akali suddenly threw her arm over Kai'sa's shoulder. "It could be fun. Plus, I wanted to try out rapping lately."
"But-but I-" Kai'sa didn't get to finish as Akali started dragging her to the stage while following one of the summoners. the Daughter of the Void sighed and just accepted her fate. Evelynn rolled her eyes and followed them deciding to get this over with.
Tiara turned to her brother. "Well, that just happened. And what about you?"
"Sorry, but I ain't doing it," Grey repeated and looked at the other two males of the group. "You two agree with me, right?"
To his surprise, Brite shook his head. "I honestly think it could be fun."
"I believe that it can be a good new experience," Solas agreed with the other two members.
the Dancer smirked at her. "Three against one. the vote is in our favor."
The Abyss Watcher obviously looked uncomfortable, so Ahri stepped forward. "Alright, if he doesn't want to do it, then he doesn't have to," she said much to her lover's relief.
However, Ahri then felt someone tapping her shoulder. She looked and saw Sona holding up a note with <You know Ahri, that skin along with yours looks like a wonderful couple skin together.> written on it.
Ahri stared at the paper for a few seconds before looking back at her lover. "Grey, what are you waiting for? go ahead and sing!" she practically ordered.
"Wait, what?" the Abyss Watcher looked at her confused. "What happened to what I want?" he asked referring to Ahri's earlier statement.
"Who cares about what you want? it's not like you wanted to show up on Runeterra in the first place!" Ahri countered as she started pushing him forward. "So go ahead, and sing!"
"You heard the lady," Tiara said as she started dragging her brother by the arm. "Let's go," she said as she, Brite, and Solas followed another summoner while dragging Grey.
Ahri looked rather proud of herself, that was until Aki spoke. "Ahri, you do realize that Sona has at least three skins that would look like couples with Grey's new skin, right?"
the Nine-tailed Vastaya looked confused for a second until it finally hit her. She immediately started glaring at the Maven, who couldn't look more innocent, but Ahri knew better. "Why you little-"
"Ahri, come on!" Akali called out. Ahri spared one last glare at Sona before going with her designed group.
Time skip: (Brought to you by chibi K/DA Ahri and Chibi Symphony Souls Grey singing together on a stage.)
It was now night time, a few hours after sunset. Grey, Ahri, Brite, Solas, and Tiara were now back to their normal clothes. They were sitting in the dining hall with the rest of their friends. Including Aki, Ezreal, Lux, Garen, Katarina, Nidalee, and Sona.
Akali, Evelynn, and Kai'sa left to do their own thing. "So, they really picked you to make a music band?" Ezreal asked.
The Abyss Watcher nodded with a sigh of annoyance. "Why wasn't I picked for your group?" Lux asked Ahri, sounding rather envious.
Sona would have also asked the same question, but she supposed that she was famous enough already. Add the fact that being mute wouldn't actually help her as an idol.
"Trust me, you're better off without being in their group," Tiara said holding a paper that had Ahri's group's lyrics. "This stuff is ridiculous. 'Wild in my veins', what does that even mean? 'Wish you luck, but you're not bringing us down', why would you wish someone luck and then say they would lose anyway? That's just mean?"
The Nine-Tailed Vastayan rolled her eyes. "It's Pop music, Tiara. It's not supposed to make sense, it's just supposed to sound good," she said.
"Well, congratulations, Runeterra!" Tiara exclaimed throwing the paper away. "Once again, you proved to me that your just a pile of idiocy and runes."
Grey just sighed with a hand on his forehead. "I'm just glad that it's over. And I guess it's a good thing that no one actually listened to the song."
"Oh, I probably should have mentioned that it would be broadcasted soon," Aki said making the Abyss Watcher look at her wide-eyed. "S-Sorry."
Just as Grey was about to complain, the viewing orb appeared in the middle of the dining hall and started playing.
First, it played Pop/Star, by Ahri's group, K/DA. Then, it played the song by Grey's group, Symphony Souls, Fading Light. (Aviators, Fading Light.)
After the song was over, cheers and clapping erupted around the entire dining hall, all of them directed at the two groups.
The Lord of Cinder laid his head on the table. "Being a celebrity is annoying," he groaned.
(A/N: Thank you for reading this.
I'm pretty sure most of you are glad that the K/DA group showed up. Along with Grey's group, the Symphony Souls. While K/DA is meant for Pop music, while the Symphony Souls is more of a rock and rap music.
Sorry that there isn't much action in this chapter, but it'll start in the next one. Hopefully.
Also, I hope you noticed where Brite's costume gained its inspiration from.
Again, thank you for reading this. Please comment, review, and give me your thoughts on my story.)
It's a new day at the Institute of War. Ahri, Grey, and Nidalee came out of their room with Silver on the Abyss Watcher's shoulder."So, did you two enjoy your date?" Nidalee asked as they walked through the hallway."Oh, it was wonderful," Ahri replied remembering the Blood moon festival. "I finally got a chance to play after watching for so long, and with a lover no less. I've never had so much fun."The Abyss Watcher smiled seeing Ahri so happy. Her honest smile always managed to brighten up his day.Grey then turned to Nidalee. "Anyway, how were you yesterday?"The huntress shrugged. "It was pretty good, boring but good. I showed Neeko around, which was interesting," she replied recalling what she did while Ahri and Grey were on their date."Did you sleep well?" Ahri asked suddenly.Nidalee nodded. "Yes, it was very-" she suddenly stopped and gave them a deadpan look. "You two did it last night, didn't you?" she stated rather than asked.Both Ahri and Grey looked at each other before the Nine-Tailed Vastayan said, "Well, at least we know the new soundproofing works," before she continued walking.The Abyss Watcher just sighed and continued walking forward towards the dining hall. However, along the way, he noticed something.It wasn't that important, but the summoners around seemed to be excited about something. They were chatting with each other excitedly and were moving a little faster than before."Is it just me, or do the summoners seem more excited than normal?" Ahri asked noticing the same thing as Grey.The huntress shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe there's a new event or something. I heard that Summoners usually have events for special occasions," she informed her roommates who nodded and decided to ignore them for now.They reached the dining hall, picked up their food, and looked for a table to sit in. They found Aki, Brite, Solas, and Tiara sitting together."Morning, everyone," Ahri greeted as she and her roommates sat down in a close table after giving Silver his food."Oh, morning, Ahri," Aki was the first to return the greeting.Tiara immediately looked at her brother. "So, how was the date?" she asked while sparing a glare at Ahri. "Did the fox f*ck it up like I was expecting?"The Nine-Tailed Vastayan glared at the Outrider Knight, while Grey was resisting the urge to face-palm. "It went great, and having Ahri there was what made it like that."His sister rolled her eyes and Ahri looked around to see that the summoners are still being excited. "Hey, Aki, what's up with the Summoners?" she asked.The Shy summoner looked confused for a second before she remembered something. "Oh, right. There are two new group skins coming out today. Their popularity skyrocketed just by announcing them. Apparently, there is this event going to be held by the group skins, so everyone is pumped up about it.""New group skins?" Solas asked raising an eyebrow. "Who are they for?"Aki put a hand on her chin, thinking. "Well, I know Ahri is part of one of the groups, but I don't know the rest of the group she's in. As for the other group, it's made up of you four," she said motioning towards Grey, Brite, Solas, and Tiara."Us?" Grey asked surprised."Well, they wanted something to bring the people from another world together, so they made the group skin," Aki explained shyly.Tiara groaned. "Oh, that is just racist," she said referring to how they were put together simply because they are from another world."Do you even care?" Brite asked knowing that the Dancer never actually cared for racial business.The Outrider Knight chuckled. "F*ck no, but I'll still use that as an excuse to yell at the summoners."Her brother groaned and started massaging his forehead. He just knew that he was the one who's going to be cleaning up for his sister's mess."Anyway," Ahri started trying to change the subject, seeing Grey's obvious discomfort. "You said that I'll also have a new group skin, what do you know about it?"Aki scratched her head in slight embarrassment. "I actually have been a little busy learning spells lately. So, I don't know all the details, but I do know it's related to an old skin of yours."The Nine-Tailed Vastayan raised a confused eyebrow, but her interest was still peaked. "Well, when is it coming out?" she asked."This afternoon, I believe," Aki replied. "You're supposed to get it at the stage.""There's a stage?" Tiara asked rather surprised.The Shy summoner nodded. "Yeah, they made a stage for either performances or music concerts. Thankfully, Jhin is forbidden from performing there."What she said made sense to those who know the Virtuoso. They couldn't imagine people lining up to see what Jhin would call a 'show'."Well, I guess now we have something to do today," Grey noted as he finished his breakfast. "What do you guys want to do until the afternoon?" he asked since it was still morning."Nidalee!" Neeko yelled out as she came in running."Oh, Neeko," the Huntress noted as she looked at the chameleon."There you are," Neeko continued as she reached forward. The chameleon then looked at Grey. "Oh, you're the guy that suddenly got angry at the pretty fox.""Yes, sorry for exploding like that," the Abyss Watcher apologized thinking that he scared her.But, much to his surprise, Neeko shook her head. "No, it's okay. I can see you really care for her, and I can tell something happened to you that made you this angry," what she said made the others realize that, despite how she acts, Neeko was smarter than she looks. "Anyway, now that your friend is back, can we finally go to the garden?" she asked Nidalee.Nidalee sighed. Ever since the fight between Grey and Ahri, Neeko wanted to see the garden but Nidalee told her to wait until Grey gets back."I guess some fresh air can't hurt," Grey said as he stood up.Ahri also stood up. "I'll go to, it's been a while since I saw the garden.""I do need to visit storm again," Solas said, also standing up."I guess there's your answer," Nidalee chuckled as Neeko did a cheer of victory. "Alright, let's go."They all stood up and started making their way out of the dining hall and headed towards the garden. After a few turns and hallways, they passed through the garden's green gates.They saw the green life that covers the garden. Storm was resting under a tree, covering himself from the heat of the sun.The Sun's First Born immediately went to see his friend, who raised his head at sensing them. Brite followed after him. While Grey, Ahri Tiara, Nidalee, and Neeko just stood near the entrance.The chameleon was looking around with something akin to childish wonder. "Wow, this place is amazing!" she cried out as she immediately started running towards the trees."Careful, Neeko!" Nidalee called out as she knew Zyra might get angry at her."She's quite lively, isn't she," Grey stated rather than asked.His sister groaned. "A little too loud for my taste, though.""I agree," Zyra added as she appeared from deep within the garden. "Good to see you're back, Grey.""You as well, Zyra," The Abyss Watcher returned the greeting."Hey, Nidalee, can I ask you something?" Ahri requested as the Huntress replied with a nod. "How do you know Neeko?"Nidalee smiled crossing her arms. "One day, I noticed that a new cougar of the tribe that adopted me started acting strange, and the next thing I knew, it turned to Neeko who was running away from Noxian hunters. I helped her around the forest and taught her how to survive. But, one day, she wanted to go out and explore the world. She wanted me to join her, but I declined. I haven't seen her since," she explained with a fond smile before it turned to an awkward one. "Also, you should know that Neeko is well" She seemed to be struggling with words."She's gay, isn't she?" Tiara asked drawing looks around. Ahri and Zyra were looking at her in disbelief, Grey with a 'Are you serious' look, and Nidalee looked a little shocked."Yes" Nidalee admitted but still kept looking at Tiara. "How did you know?"The Outrider Knight started counting by raising her fingers. "Will, for one thing, she's been staring at my ass the entire way here. Not that I blame her, though. It's a fine ass," she added gaining deadpan looks. "And two, she's also been taking looks at Ahri's revealing outfit. And three, she hasn't as much as even looked at a man unless she was talking to him."The huntress started scratching her head. "Yeah, there's that," she said but smiled. "But, other than that, she's fun to be around. Honestly taking care of Neeko is like taking care of a child," she said before looking to where her friend has gone. "NEEKO!" she yelled in worry.The reason for her worry is that she found the chameleon laughing and dangling on a tree branch above a large venus trap plant that was slowly going towards her."Zyra! What the hell!" Nidalee yelled as she immediately went to save her friend.The Carnivore woman immediately raised her hands to show her innocence. "Don't look at me! I didn't even know she was there!"Time skip: brought to you by chibi Ahri hugging chibi Grey. Only for him to turn into chibi Neeko.It was now the afternoon, the time for the new skin to come out.

You, too, Grey. she returned the greeting before shaking her head. And no, I don't. The summoner just asked for my help with something.The Abyss Watcher nodded and then looked at the unknown champion. "I don't believe we got your name, Ms" he trailed off hoping that she would answer.The unknown champion, who was leaning on a wall crossing her arms, looked at him and answered. "Kai'sa, Daughter of the Void."The summoners, including Aki, nodded together. "Alright, please be ready, champions," he then motioned to Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, and Kai'sa. "First, you four."The four girls nodded and stood together beside each other before the summoners all started casting a spell. After a few seconds, they appeared in the new skin.Ahri now was blonde.

It was replaced by a pair of skinny jeans with a black top that had a golden chest. Her hair was now light purple and over her shoulders were two canons made of gold and diamond.Ahri looked over herself. "Wow, this is pretty good," she said before she moved her tails and ran her hand through their now crystal look. "Shiny."Evelynn looked at her nails and lashers. "Not usually my style to shine so much, but it's okay, I guess."Akali looked over herself and shrugged. "Not bad," she said moving her legs around to test her movement.Kai'sa looked at herself and looked like she was having mixed feelings. "It's good I guess," she said looking herself over.Now Ahri knew what Aki was talking about when she said its related to an old skin. she remembers having something called pop star skin when she last checked on hers."This skin is for a new pop star group called K/DA," one of the summoners informed them."A group? with them?"

"Please step forward."The summoners including Aki all waved their hands to cast a spell again. the four champions from another world took a step forward with the Abyss Watcher giving Silver to Ahri before they were covered in light and they all appeared in their new skins.Grey was now wearing a black, long-sleeved shirt. His usual blood-red cape was replaced by a bright blue one that seemed to have a shine to it. The armor on his left shoulder was replaced by a new one that was shaped like a wolf's head. His trousers were also black with silver combat boots that had blue straps. His sword was the same shape, but it looked like it was made from a dark blue crystal. the cross-guard had a speaker on each of its front and back.

Also, unlike Grey's usual skins, this one didn't cover his face but actually left it for anyone to see.Brite was now wearing a pale white shirt that had long pale silver sleeves under with the crest of the Warriors of Sunlight at the chest. Over the shirt was a short bright green vest. His pants were now black with pale silver boots. On his head was a pale silver fedora with a red feather in it. His glaive was replaced with a rather long bass that seemed to be made of a black crystal.Tiara was now wearing a black tank top under a long-sleeved jean jacket. She was wearing a skinny skirt that reached her mid-thighs. she was wearing high heeled boots with fishnet stockings. Her shoulder-length hair, which is usually held in a low ponytail, is now flowing freely with a red shade covering the edges. Her two swords were replaced by two drumming sticks, both of them longer than normal, one was made of a blue crystal while the other was made of a red one.As for Solas, he was now a gold-colored shirt with the sleeves being ripped off. He was also wearing a pair of jeans with scuffed knees along with dark Silver boots. His hair was now out of its usual long and wild look. Instead, it was quite short and spiky. He was now holding a large guitar that was in the shape of his Sword-spear. The guitar was made of a bright golden crystal that seemed to have electricity floating inside it."This skin is for a new Rock and Rap music band called the Symphony Souls," the Summoner informed them.The Abyss Watcher looked over himself. "I have to admit, this is pretty good," he admitted before looking at his sword. "A little overboard with the blade but still good.""I think it suits you," Ahri said looking him over as Silver barked in agreement. "The wolf head is a nice touch, too," she added looking over his shoulder armor.Sona was also looking over Grey, but she was too busy gawking to give a compliment. This was pretty much her ideal version of the Abyss Watcher, and she'd be lying if she said she hadn't had fantasies of them doing concerts together before.The Nine-tailed Vastaya noticed the Maven's look, and she didn't like it. "Hey, that's my boyfriend you're drooling at," she said trying to sound threatening.However, Sona simply continued doing what she was doing and responded by giving Ahri a single hand sign that anyone can understand. Which is pointing a certain finger at the ceiling. What surprised Ahri more was that no one seemed to notice what Sona did."Not bad," Tiara said as she twirled her drumming sticks between her fingers."I don't know what a rock and rap band is, but I like it," Brite said looking over his clothes."That crest was my idea," Aki admitted making Brite look at her surprised. "I-I knew you would probably want it, so I had them add it for you."The Silver Knight smiled and looked down at the crest of the Warriors of Sunlight on his chest. "Thank you, Aki. That's sweet of you," he said in gratitude.the shy Summoner nodded and looked away with some pink dusting her cheeks. This short conversation was not missed by Ahri, who smiled mischievously and made a mental note to bring this up later.Solas looked over himself and ran a hand through his now short hair. "While not my usual style, it is pretty good," he said before looking at the summoners. "So, does bringing us here has something to do with the skins we received?" he asked knowing that they couldn't have brought them here just to give them the skin.One of the Summoners nodded. "Yes, there is, to be allowed to keep the skins, you must do a musical performance. In other words, make a song," he said catching everyone's attention. "Rest assured, the Institute already prepared the lyrics and roles for each of you."Sona now understood why she was asked to be her. it was to help make the sounds for the music groups. an ability of her Etwahl is that it can make any sound she desires.All of them nodded, except Grey and Kai'sa. "I guess I'm losing this skin," the Abyss Watcher said implying that he won't be singing. Sona's neck twitched suddenly as if it was just snapped."Yeah," Kai'sa seemed to agree with him. But, she seemed more embarrassed than the Abyss Watcher. "I'm telling you, you got the wrong person.""Oh, come on," Akali suddenly threw her arm over Kai'sa's shoulder. "It could be fun. Plus, I wanted to try out rapping lately.""But-but I-" Kai'sa didn't get to finish as Akali started dragging her to the stage while following one of the summoners. the Daughter of the Void sighed and just accepted her fate. Evelynn rolled her eyes and followed them deciding to get this over with.Tiara turned to her brother. "Well, that just happened. And what about you?""Sorry, but I ain't doing it," Grey repeated and looked at the other two males of the group. "You two agree with me, right?"To his surprise, Brite shook his head. "I honestly think it could be fun.""I believe that it can be a good new experience," Solas agreed with the other two members.the Dancer smirked at her. "Three against one. the vote is in our favor."The Abyss Watcher obviously looked uncomfortable, so Ahri stepped forward. "Alright, if he doesn't want to do it, then he doesn't have to," she said much to her lover's relief.However, Ahri then felt someone tapping her shoulder. She looked and saw Sona holding up a note with You know Ahri, that skin along with yours looks like a wonderful couple skin together. written on it.Ahri stared at the paper for a few seconds before looking back at her lover. "Grey, what are you waiting for? go ahead and sing!" she practically ordered."Wait, what?" the Abyss Watcher looked at her confused. "What happened to what I want?" he asked referring to Ahri's earlier statement."Who cares about what you want? it's not like you wanted to show up on Runeterra in the first place!" Ahri countered as she started pushing him forward. "So go ahead, and sing!""You heard the lady," Tiara said as she started dragging her brother by the arm. "Let's go," she said as she, Brite, and Solas followed another summoner while dragging Grey.Ahri looked rather proud of herself, that was until Aki spoke. "Ahri, you do realize that Sona has at least three skins that would look like couples with Grey's new skin, right?"the Nine-tailed Vastaya looked confused for a second until it finally hit her. She immediately started glaring at the Maven, who couldn't look more innocent, but Ahri knew better. "Why you little-""Ahri, come on!" Akali called out. Ahri spared one last glare at Sona before going with her designed group.Time skip: Brought to you by chibi K/DA Ahri and Chibi Symphony Souls Grey singing together on a stage.It was now night time, a few hours after sunset. Grey, Ahri, Brite, Solas, and Tiara were now back to their normal clothes. They were sitting in the dining hall with the rest of their friends. Including Aki, Ezreal, Lux, Garen, Katarina, Nidalee, and Sona.Akali, Evelynn, and Kai'sa left to do their own thing. "So, they really picked you to make a music band?" Ezreal asked.The Abyss Watcher nodded with a sigh of annoyance. "Why wasn't I picked for your group?" Lux asked Ahri, sounding rather envious.Sona would have also asked the same question, but she supposed that she was famous enough already. Add the fact that being mute wouldn't actually help her as an idol."Trust me, you're better off without being in their group," Tiara said holding a paper that had Ahri's group's lyrics. "This stuff is ridiculous. 'Wild in my veins', what does that even mean? 'Wish you luck, but you're not bringing us down', why would you wish someone luck and then say they would lose anyway? That's just mean?"The Nine-Tailed Vastayan rolled her eyes. "It's Pop music, Tiara. It's not supposed to make sense, it's just supposed to sound good," she said."Well, congratulations, Runeterra!" Tiara exclaimed throwing the paper away. "Once again, you proved to me that your just a pile of idiocy and runes."Grey just sighed with a hand on his forehead. "I'm just glad that it's over. And I guess it's a good thing that no one actually listened to the song.""Oh, I probably should have mentioned that it would be broadcasted soon," Aki said making the Abyss Watcher look at her wide-eyed. "S-Sorry."Just as Grey was about to complain, the viewing orb appeared in the middle of the dining hall and started playing.First, it played Pop/Star, by Ahri's group, K/DA. Then, it played the song by Grey's group, Symphony Souls, Fading Light. Aviators, Fading Light.After the song was over, cheers and clapping erupted around the entire dining hall, all of them directed at the two groups.The Lord of Cinder laid his head on the table. "Being a celebrity is annoying," he groaned.A/N: Thank you for reading this.I'm pretty sure most of you are glad that the K/DA group showed up. Along with Grey's group, the Symphony Souls. While K/DA is meant for Pop music, while the Symphony Souls is more of a rock and rap music.Sorry that there isn't much action in this chapter, but it'll start in the next one. Hopefully.Also, I hope you noticed where Brite's costume gained its inspiration from.Again, thank you for reading this. Please comment, review, and give me your thoughts on my story.
