Chapter 3: Small Beginnings

Ayase Eli stared at the window, pondering how to save her school from closing down. Aside from the fact that Honoka and company plan to be school idols.

"Worried about the girls?" Nozomi asked

Eli looked at Nozomi "Nozomi!"

"I think I'll go home." Nozomi said sarcastically

Nozomi walked out of the Student Council Room.

An announcement sounded through out the campus:

"The first live concert of the school idol group U's will be starting in just a bit!

If you want to catch their performance, then hurry on over! "

Honoka, Kotori and Umi stood on stage, the red curtains blocking their vision of the auditorium.

"It's finally time" Honoka said

"Yeah." Kotori nodded her head

Umi started to shake from her nervousness but Honoka held her hand.

"Don't be nervous, We're here with you" Honoka looked at Umi.

"Honoka." Umi felt slightly relieved

"What's a good thing to say at a time like this?" Kotori asked

Both Umi and Honoka turned their heads to Kotori.

Instinctively Honoka raised both Umi's and Kotori's hands in the air "Go, U's, go!"

"That make us sound like a sports team." Umi said

"True.." Honoka chuckled

"Oh, I know. We should each say a number" Honoka said

"Good idea." Kotori agreed

"Okay, ready then..." Honoka said

Each one of them said a number out loud confidently

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

They looked at each other and laughed for a moment. Honoka tightened her grip on both hands.

"Let's make the first U's live concert the best one ever!"

"Yeah!" Kotori agreed

"Of course!" Umi agreed

The buzzer sounded and the red curtains began to move away, slowly but surely they could see the auditorium.

Empty...

They stood in front of an empty crowd, nobody seemed to bother to watch at all. Their spirits were crushed, feeling bad that it was all for nothing. They just wanted to save their school and that was the response of the school body.

"Sorry, I tried but..." One of their batchmates said to them

Kotori looked at Honoka "Honoka-chan..."

Umi looked at Honoka "Honoka..."

Honoka stared at the empty seats, however for some reason she started to reminisce about the work she had done to get here. Running up the stairs, practicing dance moves, singing and getting support from others. Honoka didn't want it to go to waste, yet...

"I should've seen this coming. Things never go that well easily." Honoka said trying to lift her spirits up.

Honoka could feel the tears swell up in her eyes.

Hanayo panted from running all the way to the auditorium.

Honoka immediately looked at the door. "Hanayo-chan."

Confused, Hanayo looked around the auditorium

"Huh?! Am I too late? What happened..." Hanayo wondered

Honoka felt better seeing Hanayo, she stepped forward and said with conviction

"Let's do this. Let's sing our hearts out!"

"Honoka." Umi said

"We haven't been practicing this hard for nothing!" Honoka continued

Both Umi and Kotori's eye's widened

"Let's sing!" Honoka said

"Honoka-chan, Umi-chan" Kotori said

"Okay." Umi said

They stood in their formation awaiting for the song to be played. The lights darkened and spotlight on the stage focused on the three girls, Honoka, Kotori and Umi. Piano sounds echoed throughout the auditorium. It was accompanied by an electric guitar and the drums.

Other girls felt that they needed to watch their performance. Rin, Nico, Maki, and Eli. Something drew these girls curiosity to watch their performance. Nozomi stood outside the auditorium, leaning on the wall, listening to the arrangement of Ayato; as well as Honoka, Kotori and Umi's performance.

"You outdid yourself, Ayato." Nozomi thought

Maki started to walk to the auditorium, she could hear the song but not in the arrangement she did.

"Why are there other instruments?" Maki thought

She neared closer the doors, but she saw Nozomi open her eyes as she arrived. Maki hid immediately behind a wall. However out of curiousity she went to Nozomi.

"Did you change it?" Maki asked

"Who knows?" Nozomi said

Play the song "START:DASH!" here either in your head or through the net ( watch?v=JGT6nw6nCLI)

Romanji Lyrics

I say
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH

Ubuge no kotoritachi mo
Itsuka sora ni habataku
Ookina tsuyoi tsubasa de tobu

Akiramecha dame nanda

Mabushii hikari ni terasarete kaware

Kanashimi ni tozasarete
Naku dake no kimi janai
Atsui mune kitto mirai wo kirihiraku hazu sa
Kanashimi ni tozasarete
Naku dake ja tsumaranai

Hey, hey, hey start dash
Hey, hey, hey start dash

English Lyrics

I say
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH

Even newborn baby birds
Will soar through the sky someday
They'll fly with great, strong wings

Don't ever give up
The day will definitely come
You can feel them too, can't you?
The beats of the beginning

O Tomorrow, change!
Transform into hope!
Transform, illuminated by that brilliant light
START!

Being closed in by sorrow
And just crying - That isn't you
With your blazing heart, you definitely can clear the way to the future
Being closed in by sorrow
And just crying is boring
I'm sure (I'm sure)
Your (dream's) power (right now)
Can set things in motion
I believe in you, so START!

Hey, hey, hey START:DASH!
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH!

The mood after the rain
Amidst growing expectations
Even the times when we stumbled
Let them become memories

Tomorrow will blossom!
Hope will blossom!
A humming fun melody blossomed
DASH!

Grasp the happiness and
Let's form a connection between us
We've finally broken through and found our way
Grasp the happiness and
You and I will push on forward
Those are (those are) a distant (dream's)
Fragments (but they're) precious fragments
Towards beyond the border... I'll DASH!

And again, a dream is born

Being closed in by sorrow
And just crying - That isn't you
With your blazing heart, you definitely can clear the way to the future

Those who watched such an amazing performance applauded. It may not have been a full house, but every clap meant something. Honoak, Kotori and Umi panted from delivering a great performance. However the claps were short lived as Ayase Eli walked down to the stage.

"Student Council President..." Honoka said

"What are you going to do now?" Eli asked

There was a slight pause of silence.

"We'll continue performing." Honoka replied

"Honoka" Umi said

"Why?

I doubt continuing will make a difference" Eli persisted

"We'll continue because we want to! I want keep singing and dancing.

I'm sure Umi-chan and Kotori-chan feel the same way.

I've never felt like this before. I'm truly glad we went though all this!

I want to believe in this feeling.

No one's probably going to come to watch us perform,

and No one's probably going to cheer for us either,

but I still want to try my best. I just want us to try our best so'll reach to them,

so that they know we're here. I want these feelings to reach them!

Someday...someday will fill every seat here in this auditorium!" Honoka declared

Eli and Honoka looked each other in the eye.

Nozomi pushed off the wall "Starting from the ground up, huh?"

A few days after, Student Council Room, After classes

"The Idol Reasearch Club?" Honoka wondered

"Yes, we already have a club about idols called the 'Idol Research Club' " Eli said

"It only has one member, though" Nozomi added

"Huh? But you said we need at least five people to form a club." Honoka restated

"You need at least five people to form one. There's no rule on how many members you need after the club has been formed," Nozomi replied

"The number of students is limited, so we're trying to stop people from forming pointless clubs.

As long as the Idol Research Club exists, we can't authorize the formation of your club." Eli said

"No way!" Honoka said

"End of discussion." Eli said

"If you don't want to give up, you should go have a chat with the Idol Research Club." Nozomi said

"Nozomi!" Eli said

"There shouldn't be any problems with the two clubs merging, right?

You should stop by the club room." Nozomi replied

"Okay!" Honoka, Kotori and Umi left the Student Council Room.

"What was that for?" Eli asked

"Who knows?" Nozomi teased

"Nozomi!" Eli said

"Hehe." Nozomi chuckled

Eli decided to forsake whatever Nozomi was thinking about and focused on her work.

"How do I save the school?" Eli thought

"You're leaving?" A boy asked

"Yeah." The girl replied

"Will I see you again?" He asked

"Maybe." She said quietly

They stood in front of each other awaiting for the train to arrive. It was quiet. Neither of them could utter a single word that was on their minds. The wind breezed all throughout the train station.

"Hey." The girl called him

"Yeah?" He replied

"Want to use the red string?" She asked

The boy nodded and they wrapped their fingers with a thread of a red string.

Ayato opened his eyes. He could only see the ceiling of his room.

"A Dream" Ayato thought

Ayato got out of his bed and stretched from side to side. He went to the washroom to wash his face. After splashing water onto his face, he glanced at the mirror.

A small boy was holding a trophy, close to his chest.

Ayato shook his head and wiped his face and proceeded to change into his school uniform.

"That's all over." Ayato thought

Ayato walked downstairs and grabbed a piece of bread as his breakfast.

"I going!" Ayato announced as he closed the door of his house.

Ayato took a few steps forward but stumbled upon a newspaper on the floor.

"The Child Prodigy gone missing" - Headline of the newspaper
