I do not own Love Live! nor do I own Uta no Prince Sama. Enjoy~
μ's Group Chat:
Honoka: Everyone! Did you guys get a letter in the mail?
Kotori: Yeah!
Hanayo: Yes!
Nozomi: Mhm!
Rin: Why though, nya?
Nico: I CAN REGAIN MY TITLE AS NUMBER ONE IDOL AGAIN
Maki: No
Umi: What should we do about this?
Eli: Well we all have to agree.
Nozomi: That's a given.
Nico: I say we take it.
Umi: We can't be sure what was said was true though. I mean, it could have been a prank or something.
Hanayo: The letters had the seal of Saotome Academy! There's no doubt it's true!
Honoka: Yeah! And attached to my letter was a little card with what seems to be Shining Saotome's email.
Kotori: Only you got it, Honoka-chan?
Eli: I guess it seems natural given she's our leader.
Honoka: So… should I send a confirmation? I'm all in.
Kotori: Me too!
Umi: Me as well.
Maki: I say it's a good idea.
Rin: I'm all in nya!
Hanayo: Of course!
Nico: Let's do it!
Nozomi: The muses have decided their fate fufu…
Eli: We're all in agreement.
Honoka: Ok! I'll send it!
After a confirmation email was sent to Shining Academy, the 9 girls of μ's had to talk to their families and bosses about the situation they were in. Not all of them were let off easy, but all girls managed to get approval for time off to help out at Saotome Academy.
"Alright girls," Eli began. "We have to think of a brand new song and choreography within the month to perform at Saotome Academy."
The nine girls of μ's have reunited and met up at a café near the middle of Tokyo to discuss their future steps. While they have video chatted and texted each other frequently, seeing each other in person brought on nostalgic memories.
"Everyone!" Honoka shouted, running towards the other girls for a hug.
"Honoka-chan!" Kotori exclaimed, returning Honoka's hug.
Umi walked up from behind both girls and joined in.
"You all look so different," Umi said.
"We all do, nya!" Rin shouted, jumping around. "Notice anything different about me, nya?"
Rin puffed out her chest, which looks increasingly larger than normal.
Hanayo ran over to Rin and stared sparkly-eyed at her bust.
"Rin-chan! You grew!"
"I did, nya! C-cups!"
Nico groaned and frowned, looking down slightly at her own small chest.
Nozomi noticed, chuckled, and quickly broke the chatter.
"Alright, girls, we better get seated and order some drinks before we get kicked out."
Sitting down, the girls continued their conversations whilst sipping coffee, tea, and drinks of all sorts.
"You know," Maki began. "It's nice and all to get all close again, but we have a job to do right now. I have to create a new melody, Umi has to write new lyrics, Kotori has to make new costumes, and we all have to form a brand new dance routine as well."
"Look at you, taking action," Nico taunted, sticking her tongue out.
"Why you…"
"Maki-chan is right," Nozomi started. "Any ideas?"
"Well we have to think, this is kind of like a miracle for us," Eli added.
"And miracles happen in…?" Hanayo began.
"… Paradise?" Rin ended.
Umi smiled brightly and nodded her head. "I got it! That's a start!"
"Okay, Umi, you and I can meet up at my place to formulate the lyrics and melody to go along with it. Hanayo? Want to join us?" Maki suggested.
"That sounds perfect." Umi agreed.
"I like the sound of that!" Hanayo added.
"Once you guys are done with the song, send a demo recording to all of us," Kotori began. "Nico-chan, Nozomi-chan, and I will be designing the outfits over at my studio, and it would be great to match the feeling of the song with the look!"
"Of course we still need to buy the materials and the right fabric…" Nico mumbled.
"So you guys take your time. Just make sure the song is amazing," Nozomi winked.
Eli nodded. "Rin, Honoka, and I will meet up once you guys are finished to formulate the dance."
"We'll make it super energetic and flashy, nya!" Rin shouted.
"But not too difficult! I'm pretty sure I gained a lot of weight since I'm not working out everyday anymore!" Honoka added, a little desperate.
"Then I guess we all have stuff to work on," Eli laughed along with the rest of μ's.
"Alright!" Honoka jumped out of her seat. "Let's get started!"
"Paradise… paradise… What can we do with that word?" Umi said, pacing Maki's music room.
"It sounds like it would be a very happy song," Hanayo pitched in from the sofa.
"We haven't even been apart of the idol world for 2 years now, almost 3," Maki began. "I think we should add something that deals with that kind of vibe, like, I dunno…"
"We said farewell… but now we have to introduce ourselves again…" Hanayo mumbled.
"I-I… I think I have something…" Umi scribbled down some words. "Farewell, farewell, but we'll surely meet again soon…"
"Did we really say we would see them again though?" Maki questioned.
"I guess we can't really say that if we weren't intending on coming back," Hanayo added.
"No, we can keep it…" Umi was thinking hard. "We just have to add something…"
The blue-haired woman scribbled down a few more notes.
"Promise me that you'll wait for me until then," Umi began. "We can repeat the previous line again and maybe change the words a little bit later… And then we could have… Oh baby, I'm goin' now!"
Maki and Hanayo laughed in unison.
Umi looked up confused, concerned, and a little curious. "W-What?"
"Sorry, you're just so focused on the lyrics it's amazing to watch," Maki complimented.
"But the lyrics were wonderful!" Hanayo exclaimed. "Now we have something to work on!"
"Yep…" Maki said turning around to face the piano in front of her. "Now we just need to get a melody started…"
"Did you guys hear the song Maki-chan sent to all of us?" Nico asked Kotori and Nozomi.
"Yes!" Kotori exclaimed. "It's such a beautiful song!"
"Mhm," Nozomi started. "Only the 3 of them were singing it but it already sounded like a masterpiece."
"Now we just need to get our designs together and make something cute and girly!" Nico screamed with excitement.
Nozomi and Kotori both laughed, but joined Nico at the round table in Kotori's studio.
"Now, the song is very upbeat, and Shining Saotome did notify us that we will be performing on a stage at the beach, so we will need something that can cover us decently from the hot sun as well as show off a sporty and paradise-y vibe," Kotori mentioned, looking closely at the beta designs in front of her.
"Ah! We could use these!" Nozomi pointed at designs of long yet thin stockings and thin gloves. "These cover the skin, but are thin enough for the outfit to look sporty."
"Yes, that's a good idea, Nozomi-chan," Nico nodded. "But please get your hands off my boobs."
Nozomi frowned.
"I think tube tops and a skirt would look good with the outfit," Nico began. "But I'm not so sure heels would work."
"Then we won't use heels!" Kotori said as she excitedly scribbles designs. "We could wear simple sneakers… with this… and that… and there!"
The three girls as looked at the designs Kotori quickly drew. They looked at each other and smiled.
"Perfect!"
"Alright, girls," Eli began, finishing her stretching. "Let's begin."
"If I looked correctly…" Honoka mumbled. "Umi-chan, Maki-chan, and Hanayo-chan wrote the song to have me, Rin-chan, and Nico-chan as the centers?"
"Yep, nya!" Rin shouted, jumping up as she also concluded her stretches.
"They thought it would be best to have our most energetic dancers in the front for this performance, just to make sure we catch the attention of everyone at the beach," Eli informed.
"That's really smart of them!" Honoka said with gleaming eyes.
"It is," Eli smiled. "Now, let's get started on the dance. The song is very energetic, so we should have dance moves that are bouncy and bubbly… like…"
Eli waved her arms in the air, coordinating her feet to move along with them. Her body wasn't symmetrical in movements, but it was very effective and simple to do.
"Ooooh, that's really good, nya!" Rin exclaimed.
"I think we should allow our dance moves to focus on every member of μ's," Honoka began. "So I think we could have Umi-chan start off in the center for the intro, and then when the first verse starts, Maki-chan and Eli-chan make their way up to the front."
"That's a great idea," Eli complimented. "We could then have Kotori, Hanayo, and Nozomi switch out with us during the middle when they start to sing."
"Mhm!" Honoka smiled. "But what should we do with me, Rin-chan, and Nico-chan? Our part is very difficult to sync and the drums make it hard for us to skip in the center all at once."
"I know, nya!" Rin shouted. "Since Nico-chan sings first in our part we can form a line, so she's in the center when she sings! Then, when I sing, I move to the center and Nico-chan goes in kind of a circle, nya. And when Honoka-chan sings, she'll move to the very center and we'll have a little triangle, nya!"
"Oh! That's an awesome idea, Rin-chan!" Honoka said with joy. "And then during the pre-chorus we can form a line in the front while the other girls form one in the back!"
Eli smiled. "Yeah, that could work. Come on, now we just need to come up with dance moves."
"Are we ready to go?" Umi asked the rest of μ's.
"Yeah," Maki began. "Anyone else find it difficult to say goodbye to your families?"
"Of course," Honoka said. "They've supported us so much during our school idol years. It's hard to part with them again."
"Mhm," Nico agreed. "It's like when we went to America all over again."
"Except this time it's going to be for 5 whole months!" Hanayo squeaked.
"But we're adults now," Nozomi said, calmly. "We make our own choices and explore the world as we please."
"It really is an amazing thing," Umi sighed.
The 9 girls of μ's went silent as they thought about their new lives, and what they have in store ahead of them… until a little bird broke the silence.
"Oh no!" Kotori shrieked.
"W-What's wrong?" Umi asked, worried.
Kotori leaned her suitcase down, zipped it open, and rummaged through the clothes. "No! Oh no!"
"Kotori! What's wrong?" Eli asked, desperate to know what crisis is going on.
Without answering, Kotori stood up and ran out of the airport.
"We're gonna be late, nya," Rin confessed.
Maki sighed. "We have a little bit of extra time, so we shouldn't be worried. But hopefully Kotori makes it back in time."
"That girl," Nico groaned, leaning against a wall.
Hanayo, out of the blue, suddenly smiled and began to laugh.
"Hanayo-chan?" Honoka asked, confused.
Hanayo looked up and saw all of μ's looking straight at her. The petite girl squeaked and blushed.
"A-Ah! It's just that…" Hanayo calmed down and smiled again. "This all seems very familiar…"
The rest of the girls were perplexed for a second before realizing what their teammate meant.
"Oh yeah…" Honoka said, laughing.
"It's all so nostalgic," Eli confessed, wiping a tear from her eye.
"Well, the airport is fairly empty given it's an unpopular time for travelling," Nozomi began.
"W-What?" Maki blurted out.
- (A very much slowed down version)-
Nozomi: Dan Dan kokoro Dan Dan atsuku
Yume ippai kanaete miseru
The remaining μ's members looked at Nozomi, unaware of why she began to sing.
Nozomi: Dan Dan susumu Dan Dan hajikeru
Rin: Mirai wo shikkari mite!
Nozomi and Rin smiled at each other, bringing back memories of the past as well as preparing themselves for the future. Everyone finally understood.
Honoka: Daiji na koto wa nandakke
Umi: nandakke…
Eli: Chiisana doryoku ga asu wo tsukurun da
Hanayo: Ima wo aishite butsukarou!
Nozomi & Rin: Sonna ikioi de zutto
Hanayo, Nozomi, & Rin: isshoukenmei nanda yotte
Maki: Motto chikaku de katariaitai na
Nico: Unazuita kimi to doko made
Honoka: Hashirou ka…
Rin: Hate made…
Nico: Hashireba ii sa…
All: Korekara no Wonderful Rush
Minna shiawase ni naru tame
Atarashii sekai sagashi ni ikou yo
Mayottara Wonderful Rush
Boku wa kagayaki wo shinjite
Haruka touku no niji dakedo… sou, kitto tsukande
Umi, Honoka, & Eli: Dan Dan kokoro Dan Dan atsuku
Hanayo, Nozomi, & Rin: Yume ippai kanaete miseru
Maki & Nico: Dan Dan susumu Dan Dan hajikeru
Kotori: Mirai wo shikkari mite!
"Kotori!" Umi exclaimed. "You're back!"
"Sorry I'm late, girls!" Kotori apologized. "But you all sang without me! That's no fair!"
"That's what you get for forgetting your pillow again, baka," Honoka teased, flicking Kotori's forehead.
"Well the airport is empty right now," Maki started. "Honestly we were reckless. It's a good thing no one saw us singing together."
"Why is that, nya?" Rin asked.
"Because if someone saw us they most likely would've recorded us singing," Eli finished. "We haven't sang together in 2 years, people would ask questions, and it would ruin the big surprise in a few days."
"I-I guess you're right," Hanayo admitted. "It would be sad if we ruined the surprise."
"Anyways, we should all get going to our plane," Nico changed the subject. "Our flight should be boarding soon."
"Right, Nico-chan," Nozomi agreed. The purple-haired idol put her hands on the backs of Rin and Honoka. "Now, everyone, get on!"
Another chapter complete! Next chapter will feature STARISH so stay tuned! The song featured was Wonderful Rush, but I meant it to be a much slowed down version to create a more nostalgic vibe. I hope you're enjoying this fanfiction! I love reviews, so please give me feedback on anything I could fix! See you soon!
P.S. What song do you think they'll be performing?
