Three years ago...
"Mama! Mama! Look!" A little girl calls out to her mother excitedly as she pointed to a big screen showing the famous idol unit Saints performing their song on live television. As she pointed, the chorus of the song came up and the little girl danced to it, with the biggest smile on her face.
"Make it! Doki doki suru toki muteki desho!~"
"Make up! Kira kira mirai de kimari desho!~"
Her mother smiled to her happy child and said to her,"I too, was an idol before, Aoi."The word 'idol', attracted her daughter and the girl named Aoi stopped to listen to her mother. The mother chuckled to see her daughters's actions, she just had to tell the little one about it. "i was 13 when I first got my PriTicket. At first, I was very confused. It was because I didn't know what a PriTicket was!" Aoi and her mother laughed together. "So, because I was curious, I went to my friend and because she was knowledgable about every single thing in the world!... Well, mostly." she continued. "She said that it was a PriTicket, meaningt he ticket that I could enter the world of Prism Paradise with!"
"Prism Paradise? What's that, mama?" Aoi asked with such curiousity. Her mother's story is getting interesting!
"Prism Paradise is a short term for PriPara, Aoi-chan. When that time comes for a girl/boy, a PriTicket would appear!The world of PriPara is the world of dancing, singing and fashion. It's a dream any girl would want to have! After my friend said that, I, of course, began to be interested and went for it! I started out as a Student Class. It was kinda hard because I had no coach nor teammate, but it's a good thing I found this very pretty girl with the name Nagisa and her coachman,Lion-kun , who helped me out!"
"Nagisa? Huh? That name sounds like..." Aoi paused to think as she slowly turned to...
"Yup! It was your papa, Aoi!" Her father surprised her. Aoi was shocked.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH?! PAPA WAS AN IDOL?!"Aoi shouted. Yes, it was cool that your mom was an idol, but your dad?! What?!
Her father laughed. "Yes, Aoi-chan. I was an idol too. I actually didn't expect myself to have a PriTicket, but when I did, I just went for it!I had the name of a girl, so nobody suspected a thing!" Her father explained proudly. "Your papa was also a Top Idol, too you know?" He added.
Aoi showed a judgamental face. "Eh...? Nobody suspected...? Are you sure...? Then how did you meet mama?"
Her mother decided to answer. "Well, after your father and me teamed up, we formed an idol unit called Plus+XMinus-! Your father was the positive one, and I was the negative one!" Her mother chuckled which made Aoi weirded out. "Anywho, even though we became best friends, we never got to know each other in real life!"
"That's because papa was scared that your mama would be weirded out if she knew that a BOY was interested in idol activity!" Her father stated. Aoi sighed.
"And so, we never did meet in real life." Her mother stated sadly. Aoi tilted her head in confusion.
"Wait, didn't you get married?" Aoi asked in curiousity.
Her parents both smiled at each other and at Aoi.
At some point, they met each other in real life by accidentally bumping into each on the way back home and both their PriTickets fell. Her mother's PriTicket fell out from her pocket and her father's PriTicket fell out from his school bag. The both of them saw the tickets and recognised the idols on those tickets.
"Nagisa-chan?!"
"Haruka-chan?!"
Despite that, Haruka, Aoi's mother, fell in love with Nagisa and Nagisa also fell in love with Haruka; both in first sight.
"Oh... the classic bump-into-each-other?" Aoi thought. Aoi was kinda happy that her parents both met each other. Aoi wanted to become an idol too, not only to find her true love, but also to become the best idol in PriPara! Which reminds her... "Mama, did you and Papa both became the best idols in PriPara?" Aoi asked them.
Her parents both smiled sadly, and said. "Aoi-chan, even though we became Top Idols, we couldn't become Divine Idols..."
"Divine Idols?" Aoi was curious again.
"Divine Idols are PriPara's number one rank. To become a Divine Idol, you must become the best in every way; dancing, singing and fashion! Your father and I couldn't become idols because our studies kind of got in the way... So we had to stop our idol activity."
Aoi was shocked again."Eh!? Mama and papa only stopped being idols only to continue your studies?! That's boring!"
Her father chuckled. "Well yeah, it was. But if we didn't continued our studies, we can't have a real job or make a family. And we also can't have you and Diane!" Her father said.
Aoi pouted. Then an idea popped out of her head. "I've got it!" She faced the television screen showing the Saints still performing and pointed at them and said, "I'll become an idol when I get my PriTicket! And someday, I'll become a Divine Idol when I get the PriTicket! I'll become the best for mama and papa!" Aoi vowed. Her parents chuckled at the sight of their daughter. "Oh! And I'll also make new friends!
~Pripara~
And that was how Aoi's vow to become an idol began. But...
Three years now...
It was a splendid, and wonderful day.
A girl with short, bob cut blue hair walked towards the Paprika Private Academy building wearing large contact glasses. Wearing a yellow v-neck sweater with pink stripes on the sleeves with a white dress shirt under, a pink tie too and a blue checkered skirt, along with white socks and brown loafers. Her blue, dull eyes faced towards the building as she walked towards the building with an expressionless face.
"Aoi!~ Good morning!" A cheerful voice called out to the said name. Aoi turned around with no surprise to see a girl with brown hair, tied into two buns and wearing the same school uniform as her. "Aoi-chan! Aoi-chan! You won't believe what happened to me yesterday!" The girl said happily to her best friend, Aoi.
"...what is it, Suno?" Aoi, said boredly, as they both started to walk together towards the school building.
"Did you know? Did you know?!IwasjustwakinguptomyregularSundaymorningandwasabouttogoforawalkattheparkwithmydogRonaldoandthenIdidsowhenIwenttotheparkIbroughtmydogandlethimrestandplayforawhileasIwasreadingabookandthensuddenlyIsawsomethingsparkleinmybagandatfirstIthought'IsitjustthereflectionofmyeyesBUTNOOOOOItwasaPriTicket!" Suno said excitedly and squealed.
She took out her PriTicket and showed it to Aoi with excitement. "See! See! SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!? AREN'T YOU HAPPY FOR ME?!" Suno aked her with excitement.
Aoi nodded and continued to walk to school. Suno was confused. And then something struck her. 'Oh, no. OH NO. Oh nononononononono!What have I done?!' Suno thought to herself as she gulped. Aoi doesn't like PriPara-related stuff!
Let me explain. After the three years ago vow, Aoi has been really worked up on getting a PriTicket, causing her to wait everyday. But almost everyday seemed like nothing, because she has not retrieved her PriTicket yet until to this day. Aoi's now 13 and she has given up on PriPara. Despite being told to be patient, Aoi just gave up and never had any interests about PriPara ever again.
When they reached the school gate, another voice called out to them. "Aoi-san! Good morning!" A male voice. The two girls both turned to where it came from and it was from Rei Sonozaki, a male middle school student of Paprika Private Academy. He had brushed-back blonde hair and green eyes and was also wearing his male school uniform. He waved to them with a charming smile.
Aoi began to blush and turn away as it would be embarassing if anyone saw her, an expressionless girl, to be blushing only because she saw her crush waving to her.
As Rei walked over to the two girls, he was blocked by a group of fangirls of his. "Rei-sama! Rei-sama! Good morning!" "Rei-sama! Here's my love letter for you!~" "Rei-sama you still look handsome today!~" And many more compliments coming from his fans and in the end, he was dragged into the school building first by the group.
"Oh, my, that's quite sad to see your crush about to go say hi to you and then leaving with his fangirls. *sighs* If only you'd been more emotional, he could realise your romantic, lovey dovey feelings towa-GWAAAH!?" Suno was cut off mid-sentence by Aoi's punches of embarassment.
"S-Shut up!" Aoi immediately walked towards the school building and again, was stopped when she heard the sound of another group cheering and squealing some one else's name.
"Sophie-sama!~"
Oh, it was Houjou Sophie, a middle school student of Aoi's school and an amazing idol. She's really famous for her 'cool' personality. "Uwah... Sophie-sama is still so cool!" Suno commented. She took out her PriTicket and sighed dreamily. "Now that I have my own PriTicket, maybe I can meet with Sophie not only at school, but at PriPara!~ Wah!~ I'm so lucky!" Suno said so excitedly but immediately stopped when she remembered that Aoi, her best friend, doesn't like idols. It also means that Aoi is the only one not mesmerized by Sophie's charm. "A-Aoi! I-I'm so sorry for saying like that infront of you!" Suno apologized.
Aoi was silent for a while and just showed a sad smile to Suno. "It's alright. It's not like I'll get my own PriTicket. I don't even care, even if I do get my own PriTicket. It'll just disturb my studies." Aoi stated and continued to walk to class.
Suno sighed as she rubbed her punched nose. 'Man... I hope she doesn't regret that...' She thought as she walked into her class too.
~Classtime~
lol no She's the same class as Mirei Minami
~Recess~
lol no
~After School~
Aoi began to walk herself back home, just as usual. There was just nothing different. School, homework, studies, nothing. She had no interest in PriPara too because of that. She stopped her footsteps and saw the sunset in front of her. 'Speaking of it, papa and mama didn't reach their dream to become Divine Idols because of their studies...' She stared into the distance and thought for a while.
'Why am I studying so hard? Isn't studying why mama and papa stopped becoming idols? Why am I focusing on the thing that stopped my parents' dreams?' Those thoughts kept messing her head with no answers. Without her noticing, she accidentally stepped on something. She looked down and saw what she didn't think it was.
Two PriTickets.
But surely, it wasn't hers. She crouched down and took one of it for investigation and it was definitely not hers. It belonged to an idol whose name was Reina - a Pop Idol. The girl on the cards had blonde, wavy long hair and iridescent green eyes. Reina was also wearing a very stylish outfit. Why should she be surprised by this? Well, whatever it is, she wasn't at all surprised and knew it was like that. She continued her walking. But Aoi couldn't just leave the PriTickets on the ground. Aoi sighed, and took it, as she walked to the one location she never wanted to step into.
PriPara.
As she walked into the place called Prism Stone,the entrance of PriPara, a certain brunette with red glasses greeted her.
"Welcome to Prism Stone!" Meganee greeted happily to Aoi.
Aoi's expressionless face stiffens when she sees all the clothes in Prism Stone. ' Wait... I have to have a PriTicket to go through here... but I don't have one... what if Iask this lady to hand these over to the owner...?' Aoi thought. "Um... I'm here to bring these PriTickets back to the owner, but I don't have a PriTicket, so can you give this to her?" Aoi asked.
"Oh, really?" Meganee took the PriTicket to see whose it was and said after giving it back to Aoi, "Ooh, Reina's PriTickets? Well I saw her enter through the gate a while ago... And I heard you say that if I can help pass it to her? I'm sorry, but I can't seem to help you by that. Only the other staff are able, but they're not here. So, it looks like you have to go to Pripara instead!" Meganee dragged Aoi by the hand and lead her to the PriPara entrance.
"W-Wait, I told you already! I don't have a PriTicket!" Aoi said.
Meganee stopped and turned to Aoi with a smile. She took one of the PriTickets and stated, "Did you know that you can also use one of someone else's PriTickets to enter PriPara?" Meganee said as she closed one eye and placed her finger on her lips. "Ssh... It's a secret..." Meganee said. "You'll only be borrowing, and so another PriTicket will arrive for the owner's 'borrowed' PriTicket. Fair, right?"
Aoi sweat dropped. 'Huh... Looks like PriPara has it's secrets... oh well, I do want to give back this PriTicket back to its owner...' Aoi thought. As she held the PriTicket she 'borrowed', it slowly transformed into a PriTicket Aoi would have. She was impressed. "Wow..." She couldn't believe it, her very own PriTicket!... Well, she didn't own it but... oh well.
"Come and follow me, miss!" Meganee invited.
"E-Eh? W-Wait!"
Meganee then went to her counter and typed a few things in her computer. "Hm... You are..." Meganee said as she scanned for Aoi's brand type with her red glasses. "Ooh! I recommend you a pop and cool type of brand! I think the brand that would go great with you is Hyper DreamZ!" Meganee stated. "That will be your stage brand from now on, Aoi-chan!"
"A-ah... yeah..." Aoi was still confused.
"Why don't you enter the world of PriPara now that you have your own PriTicket and brand cleared?" Meganee said as she brought Aoi to the entrance of PriPara.
Aoi just followed her. 'Ugh... how did I get into this kind of trouble...?' Aoi thought as she sighed. Her expressionless face is getting bored as Meganee told her how to enter the world of PriPara.
"Just put your PriTicket into the scanner. This will handle your registration to the world of PriPara." Meganee instrusted.
Because Aoi had to give back the PriTicket back to this Reina girl, she had to do it. She scanned her PriTicket as she was included into a transformation.
After her transformation, Aoi looked into the mirror and was surprised to see a different person. Her short blue bob cut hair became long and wavy and was as long until her elbow. Her glasses disappeared and turned into a small blue, gothic hat as she wore a whit shirt under her dark blue stylish jacket that has a blue bow tied to it and blue shorts and black belt to match it up. She also wore dark blue gothic boots as her foot wear.
"What the... I'm... Is it... me..?" Aoi asked as she looked at herself in the mirror. She realized her glasses were gone and she was able to see everything clearly. "Wow! This is so cool!" Aoi squealed happily and her expressionless face disappeared immediately. 'So this is how PriPara is, right? Wah... Am I... Am I able to perform on stage now?!' Aoi thought as she looked at her self. Aoi immediately remembered her vow that she made with her parents.
I'll become an idol when I get my PriTicket! And someday, I'll become a Divine Idol when I get the PriTicket! I'll become the best for mama and papa!"
But then Aoi also remembered her main purpose into entering PriPara. That kind of made her lose her energy. "Well, if that's all, I'll be going to find her." Aoi said to the outside Meganee as she walked into PriPara.
"Sure! Have fun!"
~Pripara~
"AAAHH!" A scream of a girl could be heard in PriPara. "Why isn't my Spring Deluxe Pearl Coord PriTicket here-kii?! Why does this always happen to me-kii?!" A girl with blonde, wavy long hair and iridescent green eyes cried out. She was panicking as she searched into her PriTicket bag.
"Reina! Aren't you done picking your PriTicket Coord yet?!" A monkey mascot immediately scolded the said girl's name. "Misaki and I are waiting you know! Saru!" Saru, the monkey mascot coach said angrily.
Reina turned to Saru with teary eyes and said, "But! But! My PriTicket-kii! I can't do anything right-kii!" Reina cried and ran out from the dressing room.
"REINAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Reina ran out from the building and ran into PriPara. "Waah-kii! I'm such an idiot-kii! Why would I accidentally drop my newest PriTicket-kii?! And now I have to go find it- KYAA-KII!" Reina stopped as she accidentally bumped into someone.
"Ouch... "
"Ow-kii..."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you. I wasn't actually looking."Aoi said apologetically to Reina. Aoi was focused on finding the owner of the PriTicket that she didn't focus in front of her. Aoi then saw the girl in front of her, Reina, and she looked exactly like the one in the PriTicket. "Wait a minute... are you Reina?" Aoi asked her.
"Eh-kii? Yes-kii! What's wron- KIIIIIIIIIII!~" Reina squealed in delight when she saw a PriTicket being held by Aoi. "My PriTicket-kii!" Reina squealed happily as took the PriTicket from Aoi's hands. "Where did you find it-kii?" Reina asked Aoi.
"E-eh?Um... when I was walking myself back from school and then I found two PriTi-" Aoi paused then facepalmed. Something reminded Aoi. Aoi is inside PriPara right now because she used one of the Pri Tickets!
"What's wrong-kii?" Reina asked again.
Aoi started to sweat nervously. She has to explain that she used one of Reina's PriTickets to enter the world of PriPara, but without getting yelled at. Because Aoi has never been yelled at before, she's confused whether to tell her or not. But because she has the good student self who always screams at her on the inside, she just had to tell her. "A-actually, I used one of your PriTickets so that it can become mine, so that I can enter PriPara." Aoi bowed apologetically. "I'm really sorry, Reina..."
Reina tilted her head in confusion. "Huh? My PriTickets? But... I just lost one of my PriTickets only... I didn't lose two...?" Reina stated to Aoi.
"Eh?" Aoi's head popped up. Wait... if Reina said she only lost two... Does that mean...? Before Aoi wanted to ask, Reina cut her off mid-sentence.
"Oh! Maybe you want to tell me that you want to join my idol team unit? Well why didn't you say so?~ My team does need a third member!" Reina suddenly said and took Aoi's hand while she dragged her back to her dressing room. Without realizing anything, Aoi finally realized that she was invited to join an idol group after finishing what she came here for.
Reina and Aoi arrived back at Reina's dressing room with an angry mascot monkey and a frowning pink haired girl. "REINA! How dare you leave the room just like that-saru?! And who is that girl beside you-saru?!" The monkey-like mascot named Saru angrily scolded Reina.
Reina whimpered and smiled nervously as she showed her PriTicket. "Look-kii! I have my PriTicket again-kii! And this girl found it for me-kii! Say hello to her, cause' she'll be our new member-kii!" Reina said happily as she hugged Aoi. Aoi blushed in embarassment because of that.
"So? Does that mean she's your excuse that your late, Reina? *sighs* You're really hard to handle." The pink haired girl beside Saru stated. She has been silent for a while and had to speak up. She walked towards Aoi and narrowed her eyes as she scanned Aoi. "Heh, a rookie, huh." She turned to Reina. "You could've gotten a better one, Reina. Man, Student Class idols are useless, should've gotten a Debut Class."
The girl had pink hair which was tied up into a puffy ponytail and had dark pink eyes. She was also wearing a pink, puffy dress which was a long as her mid thighs with ribbons all over the dress and a few pink large beads. Maybe she was a Lovely Type of Idol.
Aoi's veins popped up. She's getting really angry because of what that girl said. 'This girl... She's really getting on my nerves!' Aoi thought . Because she couldn't stand it, Aoi defended herself. "Oh really?! I didn't even came here to become an idol! And you know what?! I HATE PRIPARA! Good day!" Aoi shouted angrily as she walked out of the dressing room and slammed the door.
The three of them in the room were silent from shock until Reina broke the silence with a complaint. "Misaki-chan-kii! Why did you do that-kii?! We almost had a third member you know-kii?!" Reina yelled out as she went outside to chase Aoi. Misaki showed a face of boredom.
Aoi ran away and stopped as she ran out of breath. She went to a nearby seat and rested there for a while. 'What's her problem? Like hell I want to join an idol unit! I have to study, and I also have to do my homework too! I just came here only to give Reina her PriTicket.' Aoi stood up and started walking out towards the exit. 'That's right!I just came here to give back what was dropped. Now I should just be on my way.' Aoi thought as kept walking.
"Mirei-san! Mirei-san! You've dropped your PriTicket bag! Mirei-san!" A sudden loud voice was heard by Aoi. She turned around to see a girl with two long ponytails with the colour purple, and was wearing a lovely type of outfit. It was Laala. But Aoi didn't know who she was.
'Ugh... her voice is too loud...What if I go and help her find that Mirei-person so she can just shut up?' Aoi immediately stopped her walking and turned towards Laala. She walked towards her and Laala immediately realized.
"Ah, can you help me please? I need to find this idol named Mirei, because she dropped her PriTicket bag..." Laala said. She was really hoping some help from someone because almost everyone avoided Laala.
Aoi sighed. "Sure, just what does this Mirei person look like?" Aoi asked Laala. Laala showed her the PriTicket of the idol Mirei and Aoi nodded. "Why don't you follow me, I think I've seen her somewhere." She was lying. She's never seen an idol named Mirei. Speaking of Mirei, Mirei's name is exactly the Head Disciplinarian's name; Mirei Minami (which is her).
"Really?! Thanks! This is actually my first time to be in PriPara, so it's kinda hard..." Laala said as she sweat dropped. "I'm Laala Manaka! What's your name?"
"Aoi Tsubasa. But you can call me Aoi." Aoi said with a small smile."This is also my first time in PriPara too, you know?"
"Eh...? Really? You already look like an idol already to me!" Laala looked at Aoi's outit and said, "You look cool, but at the same time cute!" Laala complimeted happily.
Aoi began to blush. "S-Shut up..." And tried to hide her embarassed face. "You yourself look like an idol too."
"Really? N-No way! I-I wouldn't become an idol... I just came here only to give Mirei-san back her PriTicket bag. I-I mean... I only talk really loud, but whenever it's singing, I just become shy and quiet about it." Laala blushed.
"Heh... that's quite ironic. Usually people who have loud voices and shy personalities become great people if they come out of their shell." Aoi looked to her front. "And even if you do become an idol, maybe you'll become the best one."
"...Y-You really think so?" Laala asked.
"I know so." They both smiled. "Come on, we have to focus on finding that Mirei person." Aoi scanned through the area until she was bumped into another mascot.
"Watch where you're going-kuma!" He yelled.
Aoi glared at Kuma as she said, "Well it's not my fault you're small."
"Grrr! What did you say-kuma?!" Kuma shouted in anger.
Laala went in between their argument. "Now, now..." as she laughed nervously.
Suddenly, a girl with the similar hairstyle as the PriTicket Laala was holding suddenly came. " What's wrong-pri?" It was Mirei.
"Ah! Mirei-san!" Laala said loudly as she looked at the PriTicket she was holding. "Um... this! I came here to give you back your PriTicket bag!" Laala handed the bag towards Mirei.
"Thanks-pri! I couldn't do anything without it-pri!" Mirei took the bag and gave the cutest smile she could give.
"Well, if that's all, Laala and I are leaving now." Aoi said suddenly as she turned around with her hands in her pockets and expressionless face as she walked towards the exit .
"But-pri! I can't enter the audition without a partner-pri. Please-pri!" Mirei grabbed both Laala's and Aoi's hand as she pleaded with the cutest eyes. "Please-pri! I've been practicing my whole entire life for this-pri! And if I can't participate-pri... I'll... I'll..." Mirei started to tear up as she showed her cute eyes. Laala seemed to have taken effect.
"Ueh... Ah... Caspisce!" Laala said happily as she showed her stance.
"Thank goodness-pri!" Mirei turned to Aoi. "Will you join too-pri?" Mirei asked Aoi.
Aoi sighed but before she could say anything she was pulled by someone from behind who shouted at Mirei, "No way-kii! She's taken-kii!" It was Reina. Looks like Reina had found Aoi. "She's already in my team-kii!" Reina stuck her tongue out towards Mirei.
"Oi, Reina. You don't even know her name. How can she join us if she doesn't tell us her name?" Misaki suddenly said as she walked over to them with her hands on her hips and Saru flying beside her. "And you too, acting all childish by running away from that dressing room. I was just testing you if you could become a member of our team." Misaki said to Aoi as Misaki rubbed the back of her head.
Aoi pouted and turned away.
"Oh-pri? You have your own team-pri? Wow-pri! You can go to Shining Future Idol Grand Prix already with three members-pri!" Mirei said happily.
"Come on-kii! Let's go and register for the Fresh Idol Live-kii!" Reina said as she dashed towards the PriPara building with Aoi.
"Ah! You're right-pri! Let's go-pri!" Mirei said as she dragged Laala and Kuma to the building too.
Saru follows them and then realizes that Misaki is still standing there. "Misaki-saru? Why aren't coming-saru?" Saru asked.
Misaki clicked her tongue. 'That girl... I'll make her regret ever coming to PriPara!' Misaki thought. Misaki turned to Saru and smiled, "Nothing's wrong!~ I just don't feel like singing, that's all." Misaki stated as she followed the other girls. "I'll just go and check on them. Furthermore, the Fresh Idol Live is only for newbies like that girl and Reina. I'm already a Debut Class, so I don't need to join it."
"Is that so-saru?"
~Pripara~
The announcement for registration for the Fresh Idol Live will be closing soon so the girls try to hurry up and get there before they head into another room. Another announcement reveals that entry number six, Pretty App will be performing, so the girls stand before a bunch of screens and watch.
'W...Why am I here?! I was about to leave, and now I'm going to perform on stage?! The heck?!' Aoi began to panic. She doesn't know how to sing, or dance! Oh no!
Reina turned to Aoi and was about to say something when she saw Aoi getting panicked. "Ara-kii? Is this your first time-kii?" Reina asked Aoi.
Aoi's veins popped out. "OF COURSE IT IS! WHY WOULD I BE HERE IF I KNOW THAT I'M NEW?!" Aoi shouted to Reina in anger.
Reina whimpered in fear. "I'm sowwy-kii..."
Laala heard their conversation. Laala went to Aoi and said, "Aoi-san, don't that harsh..."
Aoi sighed. "I just... Can't believe that I've finally become an idol..." Aoi watched one of the screens and said, "When I was a kid, I've always wanted to become an idol, so that I can reached my parents's dream to become a Divine Idol." Aoi smiled.
"Your parents-pri? Don't you mean your mother's-pri?" Mirei suddenly asked.
Aoi sweatdropped, "Oh, yeah... I haven't told you yet..." Aoi began to tell. "My father was also an idol." Aoi said with a small smile
Silence... The whole room heard what Aoi said.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHH?! Your father was also and idol?" The whole room screamed as they imagined a grown man wearing a girls dress and showing a cute (but manly) pose. They shivered at the thought.
Aoi nodded. "Yup, even I was shocked. But, no matter what gender you are, you can become an idol!" Aoi said. She realized people were staring at her in shock, and Aoi said angrily, "W-What are you looking at?!" with an embarassed face.
Reina smiled at Aoi. Reina hugged Aoi with a big smile on her face. "And this is why she's my teammate-kii!~"
Aoi's face flushed in red again. "W-What are you doing?! L-Let go of me!"
"Laala! It's time-pri!" Mirei said as she dragged Laala.
Aoi saw Laala and said, "Good luck!"
They gain their microphones and appear. At first Laala is very shocked by this, but she decides to give it her all and sings with Mirei. Everyone is quickly captivated by Laala and her singing and they use Making Drama before using their Cyalume Change.
Aoi was amazed with Laala's voice. 'N-No way... I can't go up to that!' Aoi thought. Reina realized that and held her hand.
"It's going to be okay. You know the dance and song to one of Saints' songs, right?" Reina asked. Aoi nodded and with that said, it was Reina's and Aoi's turn to perform on stage.
They gain their microphones and appear on stage. The music starts and Reina starts to dance while Aoi still is frozen with her negative thoughts. 'W-What if I... can't sing...? What if I can't dance? What if... I fail...?' Aoi didn't know what to do. And then she remembered her vow.
"I'll become an idol when I get my PriTicket! And someday, I'll become a Divine Idol when I get the PriTicket! I'll become the best for mama and papa!"
Aoi breathed in and out. And she sang.
Oshare na ano ko mane suru yori~
jibunrashisa ga ichiban desho~
Haato no kagayaki kanjita nara
risou sagashi ni dekakeyou
'I...I'm singing and dancing! It feels great!'
Almost everyone in the audience stood frozen again to hear Aoi's voice. They never heard a voice so melodious!
Fueteku omoide zenbu
paki to hanbunko de
tomodachi konpurito shiyou
Misaki in the audience was strucked by Aoi's voice. 'This girl... could it be...?!'
'Another Prism Voice user?!'
Make it! doki doki suru toki muteki desho
Make up! kira kira mirai de kimari desho
yume wa mou yume janai
dare datte kanaerareru
Puripara puriparadise!
After the song ended, the two girls returned from their stage and went outside where they both went to get new PriTickets. "Aoi, everytime we do a performance, we'll get new PriTickets, you know-kii!" Reina said happily. "You've now officially become a Shining Student-kii!" Reina stated.
"You also have your own PriTicket bag and the PriPara pass-saru! You can use it just like a cell phone-saru!" Saru suddenly appeared next to Reina with the said items. "Here-saru!" Saru gave the items to Aoi.
Aoi took them with a smile. "T-thanks!"
Misaki walked towards them and said, "Congratulations, Reina! That performance was cool!" Misaki took out her PriTicket and said, "Let's trade, Reina!"
"Sure-kii!" Reina took out her PriTicket and snapped it as she traded it with Misaki.
Suddenly a group of girls came towards them. "Aoi-san! Your performance was amazing!" A girl said to them.
Aoi blushed. "T-Thanks..." And she remembered what Misaki and Reina did with their PriTickets. She took out her PriTicket and asked her, "Do you want to trade PriTickets?"
The girl smiled widely, "Sure!" And she took out her PriTicket as she snapped it and traded it with Aoi. "My name's Yurika! I'm now a big fan of yours, Aoi!" Yurika smiled.
"Yurika? That's a pretty name for a cute girl!" Aoi complimented. Yurika smiled again.
Saru looked at Aoi's personality and thought, 'Uwaah-saru! Aoi has a great personality and the Prism Voice too-saru! Maybe, with Aoi, this team unit might be able to reach the number one, rank, Divine Idols-saru!' Saru went to Aoi and asked, "Aoi, would you like to join this idol team unit-saru? With you around, we might be able to become PriPara's top unit, and become Divine Idols-saru! What do you say-saru?"
Aoi's face brighten up like never before. 'Divine Idols?! I can reach mama and papa's dream! I'll do it!' Aoi thought. "I'll do it! Thanks for making me join your idol unit!"

After doing the PriPara unit ceremony, the idol team unit name had to be changed. They were all in the dressing room thinking of a new name. Which gave a lot of trouble for Misaki. Misaki sighed. "Do we really need to change our team name? What about the name ^Orange^? It has the 'O' from Aoi, 'A' from the three of us, and 'R, E,N' from Reina, and 'G' is for girls! See? We don't have to change it!" Misaki said angrily to Saru.
"You're right-saru. But the team name ^Orange^ also came from your colour types. The colour orange needs to be made with red/pink and yellow! Aoi's colour type is blue, and blue is the opposite of orange-saru!" Saru corrected. Misaki sighed.
"I know-kii! Why don't we use letters from names-kii? 'A' from Aoi, 'R' from Reina and 'M' for Misaki-kii! We'll become ARM-kii!" Reina suggested.
"ARM? Maybe you're right, Reina! We should become a team name ARM, because arms are useful for everyone!" Misaki cheered Reina.
"I know right-kii?"
Aoi sweat dropped. Naming a team after an arm? ABSOLUTELY WEIRD! HOW ON EARTH WAS SHE EVER GOING TO FIX THIS? ...wait... Earth...? Suddenly Aoi began to think while the two girls where talking about how fun the name of the team was.
"Oh oh oh! But we can also name is RAM! Ram is zodiac animal, and it's my zodiac; Aries!" Misaki suggested too. Reina also supported for the name while Saru began sweat dropping of how stupid the two of them were.
Suddenly, Aoi slammed her hands on the table which made everyone shocked. "I know! How about... MARs? M is for Misaki, A is for Aoi, R is for Reina. And the 's' is the plural for us girls!" Aoi suggested lastly.
Misaki showed a judgamental face. "And why should we be named after the planet Mars?" Misaki was getting on her nerves because of this Aoi girl stealing not only the spotlight today, but also stealing Reina's interests.
"The planet Mars is next to Earth, which also means that it might be the next Earth because of its possibilities. Mars is also a very special planet too!" Aoi explained. Thanks to her intelligent head, she's able to give good reasons too!
Before Misaki was about to protest but Reina cut her off mid sentence. "Sure-kii! That sounds cool-kii! I like space-related stuff too-kii! And maybe we can do something with that name as our Making Drama-kii!" Reina agreed.
"If that's all, then our team name, will be MARs-Saru!" Saru said and officially, their team name was announced.

NOTE: no, the name MARs was unintentional, I accidentally typed it in cause the original won't make any sense. Thanks for reading! Update RARELY! Maybe... monthly...? Or... annually...? I have school, mkay?!
