EN: some random crap we thought up in 5 seconds and here is the result. updating.

To stop the destruction of Earth and the extinction of mankind...to use the power of song and dance to unite the universe…

That was the purpose of the World Idol Project, and the reason that 9 young, talented girls were sent on their millennia long campaign through the countless galaxies teeming with sentient life in the "Otonokizaka", Earth's most advanced explorer of the stars.

The quiet but enthusiastic Hanayo Koizumi, the tsun but dere Maki Nishikino, the hesitant but energetic Rin Hoshizora, the indecisive but caring Kotori Minami, the timid but strong-willed Umi Sonoda, the air-headed but determined Honoka Kousaka, the devilish but charming Nico Yazawa, the mischievous but wise Nozomi Toujou, and last but not least their strict but dependable captain, Eli Ayase. They all came together to form Earth's greatest deterrent against war: µ, the World Idols!

'I'm sorry for being such a useless daughter!' Her voice cracking, her face wet with tears, Honoka exclaims every word passionately as if it were her last, her arms tightly wrapped around her mother. 'I'm sorry I never helped around the house! I sorry I always skipped my chores! I'm sorry for eating that pudding that one time! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!'

Her mother chuckles softly, tears slowly dripping from her eyes. 'Don't say that, Honoka. You don't have anything to apologise for. You were the best daughter ever.' She rubs her back, comforting her.

'Hey!' A firm slap to the back of her mother's head, Yukiho, Honoka's sister, pulls them apart, a slight pout tangibly expressing her annoyance. 'Best daughter my ass!'

Her mother pompously laughs behind her hand, waving the other teasingly.

'But seriously, sis…' She turns to Honoka, embracing her tightly. 'You really are the best sister ever.'

'Yukiho…' Honoka's tears fall onto Yukiho's shoulder, and she giggles. 'How can I be the best...when you already are, Yukiho?'

'Oh, shut up.' Yukiho hesitates slightly, but lets go of Honoka, smiling through her tears. 'Now get outta here and start uniting the universe. You're already late!'

Wiping her face with her hand, Honoka smiles her 100% smile and spins around to face the Otonokizaka. At the bottom of the saucer, portside, at the end of the ramp, there at the entrance of the ship are 8 figures.

'Honoka!' She hears a yell as she runs up the ramp to join them. 'Hurry up! We need to get to the bridge!' Umi grabs her arm, pulling her into the ship, the entrance ramp beginning to contract, the large door closing.

'To think you'd even be late today…' Eli brings her left hand to her forehead, cradling her left elbow with her right hand, her eyes closed, her brows furrowed.

'Sorry, sorry…' Honoka looks around to the other teary, wet, flushed faces of her fellow idols. Maki is hiding her face on top of Nico's head, her arms wrapped tightly around her, her shoulders shaking, Nico herself no less breaking down. Rin and Hanayo are both kneeling on the floor in each other's arms, legs splayed out from the knee down behind them, softly sobbing together tears that were no doubt streaming just before now. Kotori is grasping Umi's other hand tightly, her face downcast, tears visibly dripping down to the floor. Nozomi smiles kindly at the group, her own tears betraying her somewhat well-kept composure. 'I just didn't want to leave…' Honoka smiles at Eli, feeling her own tears resurfacing.

'...I know, I know…' Eli brings her left arm down to cross with her right, opening her eyes to reveal redness and clear signs of crying, and smiles at Honoka. 'After all, none of us did. No matter how ready we thought we were last year, last month, last week, or even yesterday… None of us are prepared to leave.' Perhaps it's her own words that cause a sudden realisation, but Eli, despite her best efforts to remain composed, begins to cry once more, the aqueduct from her heart opening up again, her smile wavering. She claps her hands together loudly, turning away from the entrance. 'Alright everybody!' Her voice shakes for a moment, but her ever-reliable tone remains. 'Let's hurry to the bridge. We need to be ready for lift off.'

No matter how they felt in this moment, they all stood up straight, they all wiped their tears, they all faced the same way as Eli, and they all stepped towards their destinies.
