Everyone was still busy tidying up the girls' room, which was so cluttered that it would take them until dinner time to get cleaned up. Tomochika sighed and sat on the flower. "Guys!" she whined, wiping her forehead dramatically. "How about a break? I'm tired! And the air conditioning's broken!"

"I agree with Tomo-chan," Haruka said with a sigh of her own.

"Why don't we buy something to eat from the cafeteria?" Tomo-chan suggested with a smile.

"Sure! Then let's just make everything the same! Let's eat curry!" Otoya said with joy.

"Curry…?" a couple of others repeated uncertainly.

"I think Otoya's right," Cecil said. "Why don't we buy curry so we wouldn't be confused about what to order."

"I'm fine with curry," Mary with a small shrug, "as long as you make mine spicy!"

"Can't we have something else to go with that curry?" Akari asked.

"Uh, yeah, sure."

"I'd like something sweet, like chocolate ice cream… or something like that," Akari said.

"We'll get it for you, don't worry," Haruka assured as she gave her hand to Tomochika and hoisted her up.

"We'll be back in a few!" Tomochika said as she and Haruka left the room, leaving the boys and the three new girls alone.

"Since we're on a break," Otoya said, stretching his arms, "why don't we all introduce ourselves?"

"I think it's a great idea! I want to know about Kira-chan and all of you more!" Natsuki said with a happy smile.

"I agree. I'd like to learn more about a certain someone more," Ren said with a wink at Mari. The girl's cheeks flared with irritation, but luckily, Kirara and Akari were able to calm her down quickly.

Syo pointed at Akari. "Why don't we start from you?"

"Alright! Kusurika Akari, but you can call me Akari. I'm 16 years old, born on the 19th of September." She paused, thinking of something else to say. "I play the trumpet and I like making sweets." She looked pointedly at Kirara.

"Aida Kirara! 16 years old, born March 2. I am a guitarist and I absolutely love shopping." She smiled as she patted Mari's shoulder.

"Kurosaki Mari. 17," Mari said with a clipped tone. Everyone raised their brows at her, expecting more.

"Likes? Instruments? Hobbies?" Akari prompted.

"Well –"

"What you want for a gift? Your type of boy? You in a relationship?" Ren continued with a coy smile. Mari hissed and almost grabbed the boy's shirt.

"Shut up. I'll talk. "I was born just before New Year's eve. I play the violin, and I draw. There."

"I think Mari-chi's drawings are the best!" Kirara said happily.

"Is that so? Then can I look at it sometimes, princess?"

Mari aimed a pillow at his face. "They'll be a good friend someday," Akari said with a small laugh.

Ren grabbed the pillow and tossed it back to Mari. "You should all have nicknames. Kira, Aka-chi, and Mari-chan."

"I love it!" Akari giggled.

"I think it's cute."

"No, thanks."

"What?! Why?!" Kirara and Akari shouted at Mari in unison.

"I don't like the –chan honorific, okay!?" She glared at Ren, almost losing her patience.

"Kuro-kun," Tokiya suggested quietly. Everyone looked at him, faintly surprised. "What?"

"I like it. Thanks, Tokiya." Otoya shrugged. "It's just that you don't always suggest stuff like that."

"I'll take Ichinose suggestion," Mari said finally.

"Then, Kuro it is!" Natsuki said brightly. "So, since you told us lots about yourselves, is there anything you want to know about us?"

"Well aren't you all idols or something? What's with coming back here when you all have careers and busy schedules and stuff?"

"Saotome-san orders," Tokiya answered shortly.

"And the party," Syo added.

"So you guys are on break or what?"

"Do you still attend classes?"

"We're on break, but since there's nothing much to do, we have classes." Cecil answered.

"We can't always go wherever we want, anyways," Masato commented. The girls nodded understandingly. Suddenly, the door opened, and the smell of food settled in the room.

"We're back!" Tomochika proclaimed, holding their food in the air.

"I hope we didn't take too long," Haruka said, food in her arms, too.

"Why don't we cut the talk and eat? I'm starving!" Syo said, pushing himself off the floor and holding his arms out for the food.

"Food!" everyone shouted excitedly, light in their eyes. Moments later, everyone felt so full and so sleepy that they fell asleep on whatever surface they could find – carpets, shoulders, laps, beds, the whole lot.

Looks like this is a start of a whole new set of friendships.
