"When you achieve your dream, I'll be your first fan."
Kotone's violet coloured eyes flickered open. The young voice echoed in her head as her eyes adjusted to the dark room. She blinked a couple of times and sat up, pushing the covers to the side as she slid off.
"…Ivy, are you awake?" Kotone stared at the time on her clock; it was only 4am.
Another dream…
"Kotone-chan…? Did you have that dream again?" The Net Navi formed onto the PET screen, showcasing a female Navi. She rubbed her lavender coloured eyes sleepily with her long elbow black gloved hands, yawning as she did so. She pushed her side parting back, but it bounced back to the same spot. She adjusted the purple flower that was situated at her hair parting. Her small side ponytail and loose violet hair went with her body motion as she went side to side like a pendulum.
"…yeah, I did." Kotone tied her long black hair into a ponytail, leaving out her loose bangs that framed the sides of her face. She sighed deeply and went to the curtains, pulling one to the side.
As expected, it was still dark outside. She closed the curtain back up and turned to her PET, "V, can you check what I have for my schedule today?"
"Yes, Kotone-chan!" There was as slight pause, "Today, you have a recording at the studio, then you have a dance rehearsal and a photoshoot. I'll inform you of the times later, but the first one's at 10am."
"Thanks." The violet eyed female sat back on her bed, closing her eyes to relax. "Ivy…can you send a message to him for me?"
"Okay!" Ivy immediately knew who Kotone was talking about.
"Tell him that I'll be debuting soon – and how he's doing over there."
"Alright! Sent! I added my own message for him, too!" Ivy grinned, a slight blush on her cheeks.
Kotone opened her eyes and chuckled, knowing full well of her Navi's cute little crush. "Don't worry, we'll visit them soon."
"That's true! It's been quite a while since we've seen them, hasn't it?" V reminisced. She had a habit of touching the purple flower emblem on her chest when she was remembering something. "It's been…around a couple of years?"
"Yeah…I wonder how he's doing."
"We've been exchanging emails with pictures, I'm sure he still knows you're well." Ivy comforted, knowing what her Operator was feeling.
"I know. But I'm worried," Kotone trailed off, "…I just hope he hasn't forgotten."
"He won't." V grinned, bobbing up and down. She seemed in high spirits even just after she had been woken up at 4am. "He always keeps his promises, remember?"
Kotone smiled in a nostalgic way. She thought it over a little bit more, then laughed at herself for thinking differently. "…yeah. He always keeps his promises."
"Oh! He sent a reply back!" Ivy read out the message, "Where can I hear a sample of it? I'll buy a copy once it's out. I'm doing well. What are you doing up at 4am?" V stopped abruptly and seemed to be reading another part of the message.
Kotone chuckled at the message – he knew her too well. "Ivy, what did his Navi say to you?"
Ivy grinned, cheeks flushed, "It's a secret!"
"…you're not fooling anyone, Ivy."
