Yo! I know I haven't posted in a while, and I'm sorry. So why don't we just fast forward through the intro and get to the chapter before you kill me.

Disclaimer: I own a pencil! But it's not an Utapri pencil...Do they make those?

The group was tense for days, anticipating the arrival of Starless Night. None of the STARISH members were quite sure how they would come. If you had asked, Syo probably would have said they'd be skydiving out of a helicopter, leaving a trail of sparkles. Tokiya might mention that they would appear in the yard, performing for the Utapri council. Cecil would point out that they might roll out of a limo and come up kneeling, like spies. Haruka felt that they might come all the way to the academy doing backflips and cartwheels with their own personal marching band. Natsuki expected they would come skipping in bear suits. But when they actually came...


"DOKI DOKI de kowaresou 1000% LOVE HEY!"

Syo paused. He had been bringing some lyrics he had thought up to Haruka's dorm when he had heard singing drifting through the door to another dorm room. It was rare to hear an idol-in-training singing another upcoming idol's song. Who was singing?

Unable to ignore his curiosity, Syo tried the door. It was unlocked. He peaked inside.

A girl about his age, maybe a bit younger, was jumping around on her bed and singing Maji Love 1000% into her hairbrush. Her brown hair, which had pink-dyed ends, was loose and whipping at her face as she bounced. Her long lashed eyes were squeezed shut. She wore a low necked white tank and black shorts. Both her fingernails and toenails were painted alternating with black and pink. She seemed completely oblivious to Syo's presence as she sang into her brush and bounced, moving in a way that was extremely similar to the STARISH dance for that song.

Syo just couldn't pass up the opportunity. Leaning against the doorway, he smirked. "So, you're a big STARISH fan?"

The girl gasped, so surprised that she dropped her brush. She stared at him with wide, hazel eyes. "Syo Kurusu..." she breathed.

Syo wondered how she knew his name. He didn't know her; at least, he didn't think he did. She looked kind of familiar, though, as if he had seen her in a picture or something.

She crossed her arms and hopped to the ground. Her expression was now wary and guarded, although she couldn't hide the blush of embarrassment from being caught. Finally, she spoke, answering his question. "No. I'll have you know that I hate STARISH." Syo's eyes narrowed. she certainly hadn't sounded like she hated STARISH a moment ago. She began to close the door. "And it's very rude to barge into someone's room uninvited. Now, if you'll excuse me."

"Wait!" Syo insisted, holding the door open. "Who are you?"

The girl stared at Syo with an expression that made it obvious that she thought she was better than him. Right before she said it, he realized where he had seen her before. "I'm Yume Himura, from Starless Night." She slammed the door shut.


"1,2,3,4! 1,2,3,4! 1,2,3,4! 1,2,3, oof!" Masato paused outside the dance studio, wondering who was practicing. He hadn't expected anyone else to be there. He had been hoping to have the place to himself. He stepped inside.

There was a girl getting off the ground. Her long blue hair was pulled away from her face in a high ponytail, though a few strands had escaped and were floating around her green eyes. She wore a green midriff and loose tie-dye shorts with bare feet.

As she stood, she caught sight of Masato in the mirrored wall and gasped. She turned to face him. She was breathing heavily and had a pink flush on her cheeks, although he couldn't quite tell if it was from exertion or embarrassment.

"How long have you been there?" she questioned shakily. Her blush deepened slightly.

"Not long." Masato answered honestly. "Are you...having trouble with a dance?"

The girl looked at Masato with questioning eyes for a moment before sighing, as if in defeat. "Yes." she admitted miserably. "My group just decided on the choreography for our new song, but I can't seem to figure it out..."

After a moment of silence, Masato spoke. "Would you like some help?"

The girls eyes lit up. "Would you do that? Really? Thank you so much!"

Masato spent the next hour helping her to learn her dance. By the time they were done, both were sweating like crazy, but she had perfected it.

After thanking him once more, the girl gathered her belongings and moved to leave. However, she paused at the door, turning back to Masato.

"Who are you?" she questioned.

Masato blinked, surprised. "Oh. Forgive me for not introducing myself earlier. My name is Masato Hijirikawa. Member of STARISH."

The girl stared at him with a frown for a moment. "STARISH? Oh dear, I thought you looked familiar. Eri Kawaguchi, Starless Night."


"Sorry, sorry! I'll buy you another!"

Ittoki had been jogging through the park when he had bumped into a girl who was crossing his path, knocking an ice-cream cone right out of her hand. Now he was paying for another one as the girl stared at him with wide open eyes. She had chocolaty brown eyes and wavy orange hair that stopped about mid-chest. Her tan arms could be seen under her loose red shirt that said 'next happy girl' in silver with a big heart next to it, which she wore with jeans and silver sandals.

"You're Ittoki Otoya. From STARISH." she finally spoke as Ittoki handed her the ice-cream.

"Yeah." Ittoki smiled. "Are you a fan? It's always nice to meet fans."

The girl nodded furiously. "Yes. I'm Hazuki Maka. I'm actually trying to become an idol too. The group that I'm in is joining Shining agency and starting at Satome academy today. I hope we can work together." She bowed politely.

"Ah! That's amazing! Congratulations! I'm sure you'll do well. What's the name of your group?"

"Oh, I'm sure you've heard of us somewhere. We're called Starless Night."

Alright, that's all for this chapter! I'll try to update more frequently, so keep an eye out! Review for a faster update!
