It was all over the news. BIGBANG was becoming more prominent in America, so it was even on E! News.

Last night's concert was a huge hit. It was sold out, and fans had been really well.

It was so much fun, too. I was really nervous at first, but as soon as I hit that stage, it had been like I turned into another person. Every dance with TOP had been a blast. We danced really well together, and it was almost like he danced better because of me. The GD&TOP performances had gotten everyone pumped up. Seungri's solo between us hadn't been awkward. In fact, it was our best performance yet. Fans had gone crazy with screams. Their screams weren't as loud as they were when I danced with Taeyang, though. The My Girl performance was so hot, my face was even bright red by the end of it.

2NE1's performances had been phenomenal, too. I was in a few of those dances, and so had Vinny. He was awesome at performing, too, especially during Minzy's solo. It was like Vinny had transformed into some suave, confident guy onstage.

The encore had been four songs: Fire, I am the Best, Last Farewell, and My Heaven. All the dancesr got to be onstage for the encore, and we all danced around and had fun. Vinny and I stuck together for the most part as we jumped around the stage, and we danced with the Kwon Twins, too. During My Heaven, I had been close enough to TOP that we did the whole chorus dance together because he had pulled me over to him by my arm. Vinny had been having  a blast, too, and at My Heaven, he had enough courage to pull Minzy over and dance with her.

Today we didn't have a concert. That would be tomorrow, our second concert in LA before we would take off for other states. Today, we would be at YG to practice a couple more times.

I was sitting on the hardwood floors at YG LA as we watched Minzy do her solo with Vinny, the Kwon Twins, and another dancer.

TOP sat next to me, and I hid my smile. These past couple of days had been like Heaven. We were getting along so well, and things were really good.

He nudged me. "So what do you want to do tonight?"

I looked at him. "We're doing something tonight?"

He nodded. "Date number two. I'll let you choose."

I groaned softly "I don't want to choose.... I'm simple. We don't even need to go anywhere."

"Well, then what do you want to do?"

I thought for a moment and shrugged. "Let's just watch a movie or something in one of our rooms."

"Really? That's what you want to do?" TOP chuckled and looked at me.

I nodded. "I'm not an extravagent girl, dude. I like simple."

The secretary of YG LA walked into the dance studio. Her eyes landed on me and TOP. "YG wants to speak to you both."

I looked at TOP, and he looked at me. What?

TOP and I both stood and headed out of the dance studio. In the elevator, I looked at TOP. "Why does he want to talk to us both, out of all people?"

TOP shrugged. "I guess we're going to find out."

We got up to YG's level, and knocked on the door before walking in.

YG was sitting at his large wrap-around couch, expecting us. He nodded to us, and sine TOP bowed, I did, too.

"Sit." YG nodded to the seats next to him. "I have to discuss something with you both."

My heart was pounding and I felt sick. Being called into YG's office was never a good thing.

We sat down.

YG turned to look at us. "Is there something either of you want to tell me?"

Oh, God. He knew.

We both stayed silent and didn't make eye contact with anyone. I kept my eyes on my lap.

YG sighed loudly. "I was fine with the pictures on Twitter. It gave fans a greater insight into YG Entertainment. But, please, answer me honestly Did you or did you not both go out on a date two nights ago, our first night in LA?"

I gulped. We could cover this. We could-

"Yes."

I looked at TOP, shocked he told YG that we did, in fact, go out on a date.

YG took a breath again. "That's what I thought. There has been something going on between you both." He looked at both of us. "And? Are you planning to go out again?"

I let TOP answer again. "Yes. Well, tonight we were just going to stay in and watch a movie. You could call it a date."

YG thought for a moment. "I haven't really had to deal with an idol dating someone since Se7en and Han Byul. What are you two trying to get out of this?"

I looked at TOP. He smiled softly and looked at our boss. "We're seeing where things go. And so far, they're going really well."

YG chuckled and shook his head. He looked at me. "I should have put you on a dating ban, but you aren't officially one of my trainees." He sighed and nodded to the both of us. "Now, news sites were asking us with why you both were out that night. They are asking us to confirm or deny the rumors that you two are dating." He nodded to me. "So we said you both are spending time together to work on your chemistry. We said that you two were collaborating on a song."

I looked at YG, frozen. "But... we aren't colaborating. I'm not even a singer."

"I know. But now we need to go through to make our lie the truth." YG stood. "Tonight at five p.m, you and your brother will be auditioning to be the first duo of YG America. What Seungri had said about you two singing never left my thoughts. Now you have to prove yourselves. If it does go well, you are going to collaborate on  a song with TOP."

Now I defiintely couldn't breathe. YG wanted us to audition?

YG noticed my expression and kept going. "You are to prepare two songs each for me. I have already seen you dance. Like I said, five o'clock. I expect you both to be prepared."

------

"I don't know!" I groaned and flopped back onto my bed on my back. I covered my face. "He said to be prepared but I don't even know what to wear...."

"You do realize you have me to help, right?" TOP chuckled next to me. I felt him scoot closer to me, and then he lifted my head so I was using his lap as a pillow. "Look at me."

I took my hands away from my face and looked up at TOP, who was looking down at me. He smiled. "I'll help you get through this, okay? You're going to be great." He put his hands on my cheeks. "Okay?" He leaned down and kissed me despite us being upside-down from each other.

"Am I really going to have to see this now?" Vinny groaned.

TOP and I sat up, and Vinny looked at us. "You aren't the only one panicking, Nat."

"You're right." I sighed. "Sorry."

"Aww, do you need a little loving, too, Vincent?" TOP joked and held out his arms.

Vinny let out a disgusted sound as he tossed outfit options onto his bed, and I laughed and shook my head. "The only person he wants some loving from is 2NE1's Minzy."

TOP looked at Vinny, raising his eyebrows. "Minzy-ah? Chincha? Why don't you talk to her?"

I saw Vinny's face go red as he looked down at his outfits, readjusting them to busy himself. "She just... she's intimidating."

TOP laughed, and Vinny looked at him. "It's not funny, dude! You try being around a girl that makes you turn to mush every day."

TOP glanced at me, then back at my brother. "I am."

My own face matched my brother's. TOP looked back at the both of us. "You both haven't decided on what to wear, have you?"

"Of course not." I winced and stood. I looked at all of my clothes scattered on my bed.

TOP stood, too, and thought for a moment. "It'd be nice if you two matched, too. YG wants to make you both a group."

He stepped over to Vinny's clothes, and thought for a moment before picking up a black t-shirt and white skinny jeans. "There. That's for you. It's basic but it's good."

"Thanks, dude." Vinny sighed and hurried to the bathroom.

TOP walked back over to me and looked through my clothes. He finally picked up a black and white patterned bodycon skirt and crop top. "This. You and Vinny both match now."

I sighed and took my outfit from him. I was so nervous and didn't know how I was going to do this.

"Do you already have your songs picked out?" TOP asked me.

I nodded. "We each have a solo and then we have a duo."

TOP surprised me by wrapping his arms around me. "Stop panicking!" He exclaimed and squeezed me for emphasis. "You're going to be great!"

I couldn't help but pout, pushing out my bottom lip. "Easy for you to say! You're already in YG!" If he hadn't been holding me so tightly, I would've crossed my arms.

"I didn't look like you when I auditioned, though. You're going ot do great. So relax."

"Why are you doing this?" I couldn't help but ask, looking at his arms around me.

"To get you to relax. Is it working?"

I shook my head and yelped when we both fell onto my bed. TOP lifted himself up so that his hands were on the bed on either side of my head. "I'm not going to let you go until you calm down."

"Well now how am I supposed to be calm?" I shrieked, my heart pounding against my chest. We were so close, and it didn't help that we were on a bed.

"Is this taking your mind off of auditioning?" TOP cocked his head to the side and watched me.

"Of course not." I shook my head and crossed my arms in front of my chest.

"Well what about this?" TOP bent his elbows and closed the spaced between us, Our lips touched, but barely. "Did that help?"

I still shook my head, but my heart was fluttering.

TOP chuckled and shook his head. "Let's fix that."

Just when he was about to kiss me again, I heard Vinny scoff. "God, just leave it broken. Don't fix it." TOP rolled off of me and we both looked at my brother. Vinny winced. "Seriously, is this what I'm going to deal with between you two?"

"Most likely." TOP shrugged.

I looked at him. Was he being serious?

---------------

"Okay, let's do this." I sighed nervously when we got down into the dance studio. Vinny stood next to TOP and I. I could tell he was shaking. His guitar case was rattling in his hand.

"You guys are going to be fine" TOP sighed. He looked at me and smiled. "Really. You can do this. Come on."

TOP took my hand and laced our fingers together. Naturally, I stepped closer to him, and it did actually calm me down a little bit.

We walked into the dance studio, where Shaun, Teddy, Sean of Jinusean, BIGBANG, 2NE1, Choice 37, Kush, and YG were waiting. YG nodded at us. "Thank you for coming. Let's get started."

TOP let go of my hand and walked over to the rest of BIGBANG.

I had no idea we were going to be performing in front of all these people.

YG cleared his throat. "Natalia, we'll have you go first. Your solo."

I nodded once and handed Seungri my CD that had the instrumental song on it. He smiled at me encouragingly and patted my shoulder. "You can do this."

I hope this song choice was good and caught YG's attention. It was by my favorite American artist, and I'll be honest, he had Jiyong running for his money with his fabulosity.

Daesung handed me a microphone, and I walked to the middle of the room.

Seungri pressed play, and it started.

I listened for the right part on Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment.

And, it started.

Song:

Vin:Oh my girl
I cry cry
You're my all
Say goodbye bye
Nat:Oh my love
Don't lie lie
You're my heart
Say goodbye

It got quiet, and then everyone burst into applause (except YG, of course).

"Yeah, yeobo and Vincent!" Daesung cheered.

My heart was pounding so loudly, and by the look on Vinny's face, his was, too

We stood from our stools and stood in front of YG, our hands behind out backs.

YG cleared his throat and stood straight, his arms crossed in front of him. He shut his eyes (the usual YG-ism) and spoke. "Now... after listening to the auditions, I can pick up there are things you both need to work on. Vincent, you need to learn to control your breathing. Natalia, you need to work on your pitch. These are just a couple of the things I noticed you two need to improve on."

Oh no. We . We just embarrassed ourselves in front of YG.

"But," YG continued and opened his eyes. He looked at us. "Those can be fixed with some training. I'll have our management staff bring up a contract for you both, which you are both to sign tomorrow. I will also start looking for a manager for you both. Tonight, you both will be recording a duet with a member of BIGBANG and a member of 2NE1, which I want you to perform at our third LA concert. It will be your first challenge as trainees. Now, we don't have any time for celebration. Teddy, Choice, and Kush will take you up to the recording rooms to work on the new songs. Now, since we already told the media that Seunghyun will be collaborating on a song with Natalia, we will be true to our word. But now we have to decide for Vincent's partner." He looked at BIGBANG and 2NE1. "Who do you all think?"

"Minzy." Jiyong blurted.

"Yep." CL nodded in agreement.

YG nodded once. "Okay. Vincent, Minzy, Natalia, and Top, follow the writers up to the recording studios. I hope to hear a rough version by one a.m tonight." He looked at me and Vincent again. He smiled a little. "Congratulations, Natalia and Vincent. It seems like I have found my first American debut."

He left with the S(hau)eans, and left the rest of us in the studio.

I looked at Vinny, and he looked at me.

We both exploded at the same time.

"Yes!" Vinny exlaimed loudly, picking me up and hugging me as we both hugged. "Yes!"

"Oh my God!" I managed to say when he set me down. "It's happening. It's realy happening."

We were overwhelmed with BIGBANG and 2NE1 congratulating us with hugs and pats on the back.

TOP finally got to me and hugged me tightly like Vinny had, and even spun me around, too. His strength really surprised me.

"I told you you could do it." He teased. He hugged me again and kept me close.

Instead of freaking out like I had when TOP hugged me after Vinny and I became dancers, I hugged him back tightly, hooking my arms under his so my hands landed on his shoulders.

TOP took one arm from around me and tilted my chin up so I could look at him. Without even saying anything, He kissed me, his lips firm on mine.

Oh my God. He was kissing me in front of YG Family members.

It took me a moment to finally hear the sounds of joking disgust and howls from those Family members.

TOP was the one to take his lips away from mine, and i was the one to let go of him.

Teddy was the first to chuckle. "Alright, YG said no time for celebrating. Let's go, guys."
