Airi was sitting at her desk, scribbling away in her notebook, she then noticed Mai and Maimi coming towards her.

"Hey!" She said happily as they stood beside her.

"Heya!" Mai said smiling.

"Hi" Maimi said "How are you?"

"I'm good, just tired, that's all" Airi replied. Mai then started drumming on the table as she smiled at her.

"But, one thing" Maimi then said "I'm really worried about Nacky" She looked concerned.

"Ah, me too" Airi replied with "She says she is fine, but she's not, we know"

"maybe we should talk to those people!" Mai said "They wouldn't want to mess with Maimi!"

"Ah, stop talking if I'm so great!" Maimi said before chuckling. "But seriously though, We need to help her"

"Ah I'm so sorry!" Saki said in a worried tone.

"Look where you are going! nerd! You ran right into me!" A girl said angrily.

"I didn't mean to-" Saki started but was interrupted by the girl pushing her against the wall, causing all the books she was holding to fall on the floor, paper flying everywhere, including the paper with their dance club name 'C-ute' on it.

"Cute?" The Girl then said picking up the piece of paper "That is such a stupid name, and is far from what you are!" Saki fell to the floor, looking as tears were going to emerge, but she held them girl then walked away laughing as she ripped up the piece of paper.

"Serves you right!" She said. Saki then quickly started to pick up her stuff.

"I'll show you, I will show you that I can dance and that I can do something" Saki muttered in a saddened tone. She started wiping her eyes as she got up. Around the corner of the corridor, Chisato was standing there, her hand in a shaky fist, she was filled with rage, all she wanted to do was run in and deal with them.

"I will teach them" She said. "I won't let them do this any longer" Punching the wall, she then went to class also.

Saki walked into class slightly teary eyed, awkwardly holding all of her books as she held a bunch of tissues in her hand, her presence filled the class room as Airi and Mai ran up to her as Maimi stared, her face worry-filled.

"Nacky!" Mai said quickly before hugging her.

"Are you okay" Airi said quietly to her, as Saki continued to sniff.

"Yea...I'm fine..." Saki said slowly before placing her mess of books, onto the table, the damaged piece of paper with 'C-ute' on it then flew out. At that moment Maimi stood up and walked up to Saki.

"We all know you're not okay" Maimi then said slowly "You don't look okay at all" At that moment the teacher walked in and told the class to sit down, Maimi sat and looked at Saki, who was organising her stuff and pulled more tissues out of her pocket. Chisato then walked in, her face still red with anger.

"Sorry I'm late" She said in a slightly aggressive tone.

"Okai!" the Teacher said "why! Umm, just sit down!" Chisato then sat down as Airi and Mai noticed her anger, Mai looked at her as she sat down and chisato then did her best to make a cheesy smile for Mai as she did. After the lesson then ended, Maimi put her hand up before saying

"Sensei! we have an announcement to make!" She said, smiling. She then nodded to Airi who then said.

"Yea! we do!" she then stood up at the same time as Maimi as they then pulled a confused Saki out of her seat.

"um, guys?" she said, confused as Chisato and Mai followed.

"Right!" Maimi said "we would like to announce that we have started our own dance club!"

"The idea came from the wonderful Saki over here!" Airi then said, jumping up and down happily. Saki then looked around before saying.

"Yes! so if anyone wants to join, come to the dance studio!" she then had a genuine smile on her face.

"No one's here" Airi said in a defeated tone as she sat slumped against the wall in the dance studio. The others were also there, in silence, Saki was sat in the corner, she looked on the verge of tears, as she played with a piece of paper. Maimi then got up and said.

"It's not all that bad, maybe C-ute could be our own thing, we could become amazing and blow the other students away!" she then sat next to Saki "okay?"

"I guess..." Saki replied with, looking at the ground, sorrow filled her stomach as she sighed, she just felt like giving up.

"I have an idea!" Mai then said "I brought a giant sheet" she said as she pulled a sheet out of her bag. "Which we could use to paint on a giant C-ute logo! And we can make it look all amazing and stuff!"

"Yea! that'll be good!" Maimi said, looking at Saki, who then nodded before slightly smiling.

"I brought paint!" Chisato said, as she pulled out paints from her bag.

"Oh wow, it's like you guys actually planned this" Airi said, before grinning. They then layed out the sheet over the floor and started to paint the word 'C-ute' onto it in big, bold letters. Mai painted on the big 'C'

"Hey, Mai your C seems like it's a little wonky" Chisato said, before laughing.

"Hey!" Mai then replied with "It's better than your silly looking t!" She then slightly pushed her and they both started laughing. Saki then started laughing as well. Airi then painted a silly face on Maimi's face.

"Hey Airi!" She exclaimed, before she started laughing "Hey Nacky!" Maimi said to her, before placing a spot of paint on Saki's nose.

"Hey!" she then said, before bursting out into laughter, joy filled her face before she, moved on with painting the u "I'll do this part!" she said happily. Airi then started to paint little silly faces next to the name. After a while they were done, the sheet had 'C-ute' right in the middle, painted in a mix of pink and blue, there was other little drawings and painting around it also, like Airi's little faces, a little dog from Chisato, Mai tried to draw little versions of all the members and Saki painted on all the members names. she looked at it and smiled "It looks wonderful!" she said happily.

"It sure does!" Airi added, with a large smile. They then pinned it up against the wall of the of the dance studio.

"It looks so cool there!" Chisato said.

"Yea, it gives the place a type of personality" Maimi said, looking around the room. Saki had joy in her eyes, her friends had cheered her up, brought her up when she was down, and for that, she was truly grateful.

"Hey!" Airi said, as she sat on the floor of Maimi's bedroom, leaning against the wall "this place is kind of a mess isn't it?" she then looked around the messy room, covered in clothes.

"Well I told you not to come over because of it" Maimi said, laying on her bed while scrolling down her phone. "But you just insisted, I don't even invite you any more, you just show up!" Airi just sat there with a large smile before saying.

"Well I can do that, can't I?" she then started swaying back and forth happily.

"It doesn't help that my Mum just lets you in when I'm not here!" Maimi then added.

"Well your Mum is awesome!" Airi said quickly, making a thumbs up gesture. "And stop, complaining, you know you love having me over" She then stood up and sat on Maimi who was still laying down."Don't you?" she added.

"Airi! get off!" she exclaimed before laughing.

"Don't you?" Airi then repeated.

"Yes! of course!" Maimi said loudly before pushing Airi off her and onto the floor. They then both started laughing as Maimi slowly said "Are you okay?" through the laughter and Airi just nodded.

The next day all the girls where sat at their desks and Saki was stood up in front of them, holding a poster in her hand. "So, guys, you know there is going to be a talent show towards christmas time?" she said to them, they all nodded in response. "Well I'm planning to enter it!"

"That's great!" Maimi said happily.

"Yea! You're going to be amazing!" Chisato added, she was happy to see Saki so confident.

"I will do my best to win!" Saki then exclaimed, looking determined.
