Regarding the last game: I will be honest right now that I hadn't listened to Rin's Kokoro at the time I was writing Eternal, so I picked on the song I had listened to before starting to write the story. I have sent a message to the first person who got it right, and the request one-shot should be released soon.
As Eternal drew to a close, I wondered what would happen if the girls did meet again. So I decided to write this story, which has no title as of yet, much like Eternal when it was first introduced. Their last names are not mentioned, as they have not descended the same way as the original anime girls. Additionally, I have changed their families around a bit, basing it off of what happened by the end of Eternal. My plan so far would be to follow the plot of the anime, with the quirks that resulted of reincarnating from Eternal. If you have any other ideas for what the girls could do, or if you don't like this idea at all, please leave a review with your comment.

The nine teenaged girls gathered backstage for one final get-together before they headed on stage for their greatest-and last-performance. Even though they had rehearsed and prepared for this one moment their lives, they were still nervous. Something in them told them that it could all either end up badly, or be the best thing they would ever accomplish. One of the teens took a deep breath and made a victory sign with her right hand before lowering it into the center of the huddle. One by one, the other teens followed suit until they made a nine pointed star with their fingers.
"Everyone, ready?! One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Four!"
"Five!"
"Six!"
"Seven!"
"Eight!"
"Nine!"
"Muse…Second Live…Start!"
As the end of the class bell rang, Honoka swiftly packed her bag with the things she would need for her homework later.
"I'm surprised you didn't fall asleep today, Honoka." Her friend commented from the next seat over, also packing up her things.
"Well, I find learning about robotics very interesting, Umi-chan." Honoka said, matter-of-factly. "After all, the person who invented the first android was the person I was named for."
"You do seem to excel in this class alone…" Umi said, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. Honoka frowned at her and Umi smiled. "I was just testing you!"
"Hey, Honoka-chan, Umi-chan! Let's go to the club room!" Their third friend came over excitedly.
"Sure, Kotori." Umi grabbed her bag and hefted it over her shoulder. "Let's go, Honoka." Honoka nodded and did the same, following Umi and Kotori to their club room. Honoka sometimes wondered how come she was so good at their robotics classes when her grades were barely average in the other classes. But she often couldn't give it much thought, especially when all of her friends were waiting for her to give them something fun to do.
"Wait, Kotori-chan, don't you have archery practice today?" Honoka asked. Even if she wanted to have fun, Kotori should be allowed to participate in a club that was actually active.
"Nah, today's an off-day!~" Kotori said cheerfully. "Now c'mon! Let's go!" She took a hold of Honoka's hand and pulled.
"What about Umi-chan? Does your mom want you to do something?" Sometimes, Umi's mother, the chairwoman of the school they attended, would require assistance from her daughter. Umi shook her head.
"She's fine. Hey, Honoka, what about you?" Honoka thought about it. Her parents did own a ramen and rice shop that had been in their family for almost a century now, but she didn't think they would need help. They usually called her if they needed any sort of assistance.
"I think I'm fine." Honoka responded.
"Then there's no worries. Let's go before they start having fun without us!" Her two friends started running down the hall to the club room and Honoka had no choice but to follow. The 'no running' sign on the wall was nearly torn off from the passing of all three girls.
The sign above the door read 'Idol Research Club' but they, the nine members of the club, rarely did anything that actually involved researching idols. Or rather, they rarely did anything close what idols did. Honoka had been the one to take over the club when her older sister, Yukiho, was preparing to graduate. The presidency had been handed over to one of her other friends, so she was free to lead them in daily 'missions' that had more to do with fun than anything else. Once in a while, they would practice their routines, but for the most part they were all excellent in dancing and singing, despite the fact that none of them had ever taken a dance class before.
"So what's our mission today, nya!?" Rin, one of the most energetic members in the club, enjoyed going on missions more than any of the others. She was bouncing up and down excitedly behind Hanayo, her best friend. They were as close as childhood friends, despite having met each other only a few years ago.
"I haven't decided yet." Honoka responded, setting her bag down on the table. "Any suggestions?"
"I want to go to a restaurant!" Maki immediately shouted, standing up and raising her hand above her head. Honoka stifled a giggle. Maki had been one of her first friends and they'd known each other since childhood. Honoka did understand why Maki wanted to go to a restaurant. Her family was the poorest of the nine, so she couldn't be picky about what she ate, which was mostly instant ramen or the like.
"I'll take you to my place later. You can have dinner there, if you want." Honoka offered.
"R-Really?!" As always when she was offered free food, Maki had trouble believing that the food would be for her alone. "But-"
"And I'll make enough so you can take it home for your parents too." Honoka said quickly, already knowing how Maki's mind worked. The red-head was in no way selfish, and she never accepted food unless there was enough to be taken home for her hard-working parents. Maki nodded and sat back down, satisfied. "In fact, why don't we just go hang out at the park or something today, and then you can all come to my place to eat later?" Honoka asked.
"I'll have to call my parents first." Nozomi said immediately. She pulled out her phone and motioned to the hallway. Honoka nodded and the purple-haired third year left the room, dialing her parent's number. Honoka knew that Nozomi's parents were over-protective of their daughter. They had to meet each of her friends and their parents before she was allowed to even play with them. Even now, Nozomi still needed to call her parents for things as small as eating out with her friends. The only one they truly trusted was Eri, only because her parents were well respected doctors and she was the Student Council President, so their sleepovers were often held at Eri's house.
Honoka had met Eri through their older sisters, Arisa and Yukiho, both of whom were in their first-year of college. They had both been lonely and wanting friends when their siblings started school, so the parents arranged a play date. Along with Maki, the three of them had been inseparable, even until now. The president of the Idol Research Club, Niko, was also pretty well off, though not as rich as Eri was. She was also the youngest of four. Her older three siblings were already working at jobs, so her mother had already retired. Niko looked forward to joining her siblings in their clothing line business, one that started a little after the restaurant that Honoka's family ran opened.
"They say I can go as long as Eri-chi is coming!" Nozomi came bouncing back into the room.
"Then let's go! Mission for today: Have as much fun as you can!" Honoka shouted, pumping her fist into the air. Eight other hands rose to join her in a collective cheer.
She would continue to watch over those nine. They wouldn't know she was there, but as long as they were happy, she was content. After all, she owed it to them, the people who created her. Even though she no longer had a name nor body, she would watch over them for eternity. It was the only thing an artificial life like her could give them. For now, they seemed happy with their lot. She would watch and make sure that which happened before would never happen again.
If you can recognize the parts that are brought from Eternal, awesome! Also, if you can tell who the person speaking above is, you get an internet cookie! (because I still have a request I need to write so no one-shot reward this time. Sorry guys.) So, yeah. If you think this idea should continue, please leave a review. I would also appreciate it if you could volunteer names for this fanfiction, should it continue.
