YOSH! I forgot to warn on the last chapter, but this is the last chapter of the second season of Uta No Prince-Sama, aye! Just so you know, the third season is already done with, and I'm currently wraping up the fourth season. I decided to post because even though I didn't have any review on the last one, a few others favorited my story, and that's really great! Love you all!
Thoughts.
Singing = boy
Singing = girl
Singing = both
Enjoy!

"This is amazing!" exclaimed Syo.
"This is it! This feeling!" nodded eagerly Otoya.
"We are definitely winning with this!" I grinned.
"Haru-chan's songs truly are great!" beamed Natsuki.
"Each and every sound is so full of happiness" Cecil remarked, reading the music sheets once more. "You songs shine brighter and brighter!"
"Nanami-san, you did well" Tokiya smiled her way.
"Good work" agreed Ren, smiling too.
"Leave the rest to us" added Masato.
"Okay, I really appreciate it" smiled Haruka.
Two days after the festival, Haruka had come back to us with the song we would perform for the UtaPri Award.
Needless to say, it was amazing.
"Everyone! I see you're all working very hard!"
At Ringo-sensei's voice, we all turned around to see him coming our way with a rack of costumes, along with Tomo-chan.
"We've been working hard too!" announced proudly the red-haired girl.
Curious, we gathered around to get a better look.
Wow, they really did a good job, didn't they?
"A-are those our stage clothes!?"
"Awesome!"
I picked up mine. They were all suits –with pants, thank God they didn't insist on me wearing a skirt- and all had some differences. And, just like for our debut concert, we all had a certain color: Syo stuck with pink, Tokiya with purple, Masato with blue, Ren with orange, Natsuki with yellow, Otoya with red and Cecil with green.
My own was gold, just like the last. The left sleeve went to my wrist while the right one reached the crook of my elbow. I also had some sort of half cape thrown over my right shoulder, and the pants –more like shorts, but well- reached just above my knees. Long boots that stopped right under said knees also came along.
"Just let me know if there's anything about them that bothers you, and I'll fix it" then said Ringo-sensei.
"You did all of this for us…" remarked Masato, apparently at loss at what to say.
"Thank you very much!" Natsuki bowed deeply.
"We wanted to help in some way too" shrugged Tomo-chan with a grin. "Let us know if you need anything else, okay?"
"Tomo-chan, Ringo-sensei…" Haruka said, apparently grateful.
"Yosh! We'll meet those expectations!" exclaimed Syo, fired up.
"Let's give it our best!" Otoya pumped his fist in the air.
"Hell yeah!" I cheered along. "STARISH is going to rock the place!"
They laughed at that, and I looked back at the costume in my hands.
I can't wait to put it on…
Feeling eyes on us, I glanced up, only to see the four members of Quartet Night watching us from the balcony. I waved, and Reiji happily waved back, while Ranmaru just grunted, Ai stayed emotionless and Camus barely nodded.
It's funny. I know they do more work separately, but I can't help but think that they'd make a pretty awesome group if they ever decided to give it a chance.
I pondered over it for a moment.
Maybe I could propose it to the Director… maa, I'll think about that later.
"Let's take it from the top again"
I gulped down some water as the guys tried the choreography once more. It had been created by Eli-sensei, but she couldn't make it today. We still decided to get started anyway. However, since I had more difficulties adapting to the steps, we had agreed that I would take it more slowly so as to retain the choreography more easily. I'd start the real work tomorrow with Eli-sensei.
While it somewhat annoyed me, since it felt like I left them all the work, I never was one to say no to the chance of relaxing.
Meh, I'm lazy. Sue me.
"Ooh, they're at it again!"
"Yo, Reiji" I made a peace sign his way.
The brunet entered, followed closely by Ai and Camus. However, before he could answer to my greeting, all eyes snapped to Cecil.
Damn, not again…
Ever since we had started an hour sooner, the boy had had some difficulties with the dance too. However, it wasn't that he couldn't learn the steps, but more like he wasn't used to dancing this certain way. So, he always ended up spinning around at the most random of times.
"Stop, stop!" exclaimed Syo, wide eyes. "What are you doing?"
"Uh?" blinked Cecil. "What do you mean?"
"Don't give me that!" protested the blond. "You're not following the choreography at all! Try it again"
I couldn't help but smile at that. If, at first, Syo detested Cecil for God-knows-what fault, he was now accepting him more easily. His remarks weren't meant to anger or show his past disdain, but to help him improve.
Whatever Syo says, he really is a Tsundere. Gosh, we got a lot of those, don't we?
Haruka started playing the piano again, restarting the choreography. And, just as I feared, Cecil started his weird spinning a few seconds later.
"That! That, right here!"
The Prince stopped his dancing, surprised, as Syo's eye twitched.
"What's that weird spinning dance you're doing!?"
"How rude! This is a traditional sacred dance of Agnapolis" answered Cecil. "It's a dance for the Muses, the Agnadance"
My necklace vibrated softly, as if to confirm his words.
"But… why are you doing that dance now?" sweatdropped Otoya.
"I'm sorry" the boy looked down. "It's not on purpose. It's just out of habit…"
"What?"
"Out of habit?" repeated the rest.
"Did you perform this dance all the time, back in your country?" I asked, curious.
"Yes" nodded my friend. "The Prince of Agnapolis sings more than he speaks. He begins dancing as soon as he is of age. Everything is for the Muses. So, for me, there is no dance but the Agnadance"
"What, seriously?" Reiji seemed a little taken aback by the idea.
"Habits established at a young age can be difficult to break" sighed softly Masato.
"So, the Agnadance has been carved deeply into Ceci's mind and body…" Ren thought for a moment.
"Our song is amazing now with the addition of Cecil" remarked Otoya. "I never thought we'd have trouble with the dancing"
"Why are you all acting so defeated, all of sudden?" I raised an eyebrow, jumping on my feet. "Masato's right: those habits are hard to break. However, it's not impossible either. Cecil could join with me and Eli-sensei tomorrow. She's got loads of experience with these sorts of things before, I'm sure she'd be able to help. And, if we all put our mind to it, then I'm sure we can break Cecil's habit without too much of a hassle"
"It could be a good idea" nodded Tokiya. "But right now…"
"I'll teach you!"
I blinked at Syo's sudden proposition as the blond went to stand next to the Prince.
"First of all, forget about moving your hands with just the movements of your feet" he instructed.
"Syo… thank you"
My friend winked at him, before falling in the beginning stance of the choreography.
"Okay, let's start from the count"
"Hai!"
"Left foot first"
Cecil imitated him, and Syo started the count down. Cecil got flustered somewhat at missing the steps, but the blond simply told him to forget about being embarrassed. I smiled, going to stand with the rest as Syo instructed him.
"To think they didn't get along at all when they first met" I snickered quietly.
"Surprisingly, those people sometimes end up understanding one another better than others" replied Masato.
"Come on, we should practice as well" proposed Tokiya.
They went back to the dance floor and, after a second of hesitation, I followed.
"Ary-chan?" blinked Natsuki.
"I can't let you do everything, you know" I huffed, stretching a little. "I may e ba clueless dancer, but I won't learn anything just by standing aside and wait for things to go my way"
He smiled at that, ruffling my hair a little.
"Alright! Five, four, three, two one!"
The next day, I was heading for the training room when my eyes fell on a poster of Quartet Night. It was an old one, still hung to the wall despite all, and I stared for a moment, thinking back to what I had thought a day sooner.
"What are you dawdling in the halls for? Don't you have dancing lessons?" grunted an oh-so-missed voice behind me.
I tilted my head Ranmaru's way.
"If you really want to know" I drawled. "I was thinking that Quartet Night being an official group would be nice. I'm sure the four of you would be awesome"
He seemed surprised at my remark for a second, before his eyes narrowed.
"I don't plan on working with anyone" he practically seethed.
I raised an eyebrow, unimpressed.
"You're clinging to the past too much"
"How do you even know about that?" he almost snarled my way.
"Oh, I don't know, I did passed my whole life in a fricking talent agency" I deadpanned.
That seemed to calm him down a little, but the scowl was still on his face. I turned back to the poster.
"You know, not everyone is like them" I couldn't help but had. "Second chances exists too"
A moment later, without another word, he shoved his hands in his pockets and headed away without another glance behind.
"Oi, want to beat something up later?" I called after him. "I'm free at three!"
"Tche" he turned a corner and disappeared.
I'll take that as a yes.
I entered the training room, only to stop in my tracks when I caught sight of a certain cyan-haired Idol.
"Uh, Ai?" I saw the boy sitting in one of the chairs. "Finished with work already?"
"… Aa"
That made me frown, and I bent to his level.
"Are you okay? You look a little down…"
He shifted away a little, an expressionless mask falling once more on his face.
"What are you talking about?" he replied blankly. "More importantly, you don't have much time before your performance. Come on, practice"
I shot a look at the others, who just shrugged.
Weird…
When night came, I sneaked out of my room and headed for the one occupied by Camus and Cecil. Slowly opening the door, I then went to my friend's bed without a sound and slapped an hand over his mouth. His eyes instantly snapped open as he struggled, but he soon calmed down when he realized it was me.
He wasn't sleeping, then.
He sat on his bed, and I noticed his training clothes still on.
As I thought.
"Want to go practice?" I whispered with a grin.
He immediately grinned back and got out of bed silently. Then, the both of us sneaked out. However, as I was closing the door, I caught Camus' eyes. Apparently, he wasn't sleeping either.
I placed a finger over my lips, before closing the door.
"Okay, I'll give the count" announced Arya.
Cecil nodded. The both of them were determined not to drag the others down, hence why they had decided to work even harder.
For the past two weeks, they had been sneaking out at night to go practice. The girl knew what had happened last time, but she was going to be careful, now. Collapsing again was a big no-no, hence why they never worked more than two hours.
They started the choreography. They were better than the first night. When they began, if Arya didn't forget a step, it was Cecil who started spinning. However, the both of them made a good team nonetheless. As of now, while the Prince told her the steps with a near perfect memory, she kept him from falling back into habit.
After around thirty minutes, unnoticed by the two of them, Syo popped his head out of a bush outside the window.
"We didn't need to worry about them" he smiled softly.
"That's great"
"N-Natsuki!" Syo spun around, surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"The same as you" laughed the taller blond. "I was worried about Cecil-kun and Ary-chan, so I came to check up on them"
"I see…"
More voices suddenly echoed from farther away.
"If we all got together, we'll draw too much attention"
"Who cares?"
"Eh!?"
The two roommates turned around, only to see the rest of STARISH along with Haruka coming their way. The group stopped, surprised to see the two blonds too.
"Syo?"
"Shinomiya-san?"
"Guys…"
"Why are you here?" asked Syo.
"We were worried about Cecil-san" admitted Haruka. "And I noticed Ary sneaking out when she thought I was sleeping, so…"
"Just so you know, we did not arrange to come together" Masato seemed somewhat irritated.
"We just happened to run into each other on the way here" precised Ren.
"When I tried to leave, Tokiya followed me" grinned Otoya.
"What are you talking about? I planned to come all along" refuted the black-haired boy, crossing his arms over his chest.
"What? You changed in a hurry…"
"For us to gather in the middle of the night like that…" Ren glanced at the window, through which they could all see Cecil and Arya still practicing.
Natsuki laughed, apparently happy.
"That must mean we're all great friends, right?"
They all fell silent at that, and Masato coughed quietly in his fist. None of them really ever thought about it before. They all knew how they felt about Haruka and Arya, but what was between the rest of them never had been cleared up before.
Otoya looked too through the window, and laughed quietly when he saw Arya trip and fell on her butt. She seemed to whine, before getting back on her feet and swatting Cecil behind the head as he laughed at her.
"They're both working really hard" he remarked.
"It's finally tomorrow" added Tokiya. "Let's hope their hard work will pay off"
"We have done our best and must now leave the rest to providence" cited Masato.
"Still…" Natsuki mused, tapping his chin. "For Ary-chan to be able to work like that with her medicine, she's…"
He stopped in his tracks, all of them realizing the same thing as one. They all grunted while Haruka giggled softly.
"We're going to have a serious word about that after the show" huffed Syo.
They all nodded in agreement. While they knew they couldn't stop her from working that way, she ought to be more careful, less she could fall victim to her insomnia again.
But of course, Ary never thinks about these sort of things, sighed mentally the hot-tempered blond. You can be such an handful, sometimes…
But of course, none of them would have it any other way.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the day has finally come. The rare title granted when a brilliant Idol appears, the Uta Prince Brand New Award! It's finally starting!"
I was running down an hallway. I had needed some last minute readjustments on my costume from Tomo-chan, so I didn't come with the rest of the guys and Haruka, but now here I was.
And I'm going to be so fucking late!
I took a sharp turn to the left before stopping at the stairs. Better be careful than sorry, I'd rather not break a leg just before the show.
As I climbed the stairs, though, another group of three way-too-familiar guys went down. Deciding to just ignore them for now, I kept my eyes ahead. Iwas about to pass by them without a hassle when, as if on cue, they moved just in front of me.
Just great. But, in a way, if they're currently walking as if they had all the time in the world, then it must means I've still got some time and- Wait… there's still two hours left before the performance! Damn it, Tomo-chan! Why did you scare me like that?
"Meeting you must be fate" called Eiichi, stopping in front of me. "Good"
Ew, no, no, no… That reminds me a lot of the first time I met Ren, though.
"I wouldn't call it fate, more like a misfortune" I grunted through my teeth.
He laughed, apparently having heard me, and leaned uncomfortably closed to my face. I instantly pushed him back with a scowl.
"Bubble, mate"
"How does it feel to wait for the dissolution of STARISH?" he asked, ignoring my warning.
"After all, we're going to win!" exclaimed Nagi. "Right, Kira?"
"Aa"
"And you'll happily become the new member of HEAVENS. Isn't that great?" grinned wickedly the purple-eyed boy.
"We're not going to loose" I retorted hotly. "Now excuse me, I gotta go. Places to be, people to see, you to avoid…"
I tried to sidestep him, but Nagi appeared before me, stopping my retreat.
"Now, don't be like that!" he beamed at me. "Come with us, and we'll even let you watch us rehearse!"
"You do realize I'm with STARISH, right?" I raised an eyebrow. "I could try to sabotage you"
"You're too… what was it? Yes, honest, to do that" smirked Eiichi.
I felt him get too close again, and I was forced to go a step down.
"I said to back off!" I glared. "Are you deaf or just plain stupid?"
I would say both, if the hand now tightly gripping my shoulder was anything to go by. This time around, I didn't hold back the cat-like hiss I had such a hard time to get rid of.
Stupid fucking habit… it's worst than the Agnadance, seriously.
"Come with us" his breath ghosted over my face. "We'll show you a fantastic dre-"
"How about 'no'!?" I snapped, trying to get rid of his grasp. "I swear, if you don't let me go this instant, I will break your arm and blame self-defense!"
"Oi! Quit acting so disgracefully"
I jumped at the voice, before gaping as Ranmaru appeared up the stairs, air aloof but eyes narrowed.
"Ranmaru!"
Using the momentum, I managed to free myself and pushed through the three members of HEAVENS to go to him.
Never thought I'd get my ass saved by him of all people, but I'll take what I can get for now
"Kurosaki Ranmaru" recognized Nagi.
"Settle your matters through song" he barked as I reached him.
"Things have already been settled" chuckled darkly Eiichi.
"Well, see you later, Ary-chan!" Nagi waved my way. "Come on, let's get this rehearsal done"
We both stared as they left, and it's only when they disappeared that I allowed free a breath I hadn't realized I was holding.
"What a bunch of freaks" I muttered. "Would have castrated him if we didn't have the damn show weighing on us… stupid rules…"
"You should go"
I blinked at Ranmaru, before nodding.
"Thanks for the help" with that, I walked away.
I barely made it three steps far before he called on me.
"Wait"
Turning to him, I raised an eyebrow, curious. He looked away, suddenly uncomfortable for some reason.
"Are you… what… are friends, to you?"
Of all the things to ask… never thought I'd hear that from him.
"Easy" I replied, knowing better than to mock him when he finally oppened up somewhat. "They're everything. They're people who'll share your laughs and your tears, and who you'll love with everything you got despite differences. They're feel each other's passion up close, and a day without them is dull, empty. And true friends… will never leave you behind"
He stiffened at my words, sending me a sideway, wondering glance. I smiled at him.
"Though… you already knew that, didn't you?"
He didn't answer, simply staying in place for a second before nodding my way and walking away, apparently satisfied with my words.
Feeling giddy for some reason, I then headed for the room where the rest of the guys were waiting for my arrival.
I bit my lower lip as, on the screen procured in the waiting room, HEAVENS started their performance.
They're good, awfully so.
I pulled on my collar a little, starting to feel a little sick. There were even more people than for our debut concert, and with the level of performance our opponents had just put on…
"Yes call HEAVENS! Yes call HEAVENS!"
I could hear the crowd cheering, and it wasn't through the screen.
My heart missed a beat.
We can't do this.
My breath caught in my throat.
I can't do this. There's too many people. I'm not ready. I need more practice, more time, more-
"Ary?"
I snapped my head so quickly my spine cracked a little. My eyes met with Cecil's, who smiled warmly at me and placed his hand upon mine. It's only then that I realized I was clutching to my necklace, which I hadn't been able to put away despite the fact that it greatly clashed with my stage clothes.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"She gets stage fright" answered Syo, crouching next to me to. "Hey, Ary, these guys were amazing and all, but we're even better, got it?"
I laughed a little at that, and they both pulled me up as I felt myself relaxing a little.
"Yeah, got it" I let out somewhat shaky breath.
"STARISH, you're up!" called one of the staff members.
Instantly, we huddled all together, holding each other's hands. Myself was between Cecil and Otoya, and I gripped as tightly as I could. Well, more or less. I didn't want to break their hands or anything either.
"May everyone be connected and may this happiness reach them" prayed Cecil. "May the Muses watch over us"
The… Muses!
My eyes widened a little, and I then decided to just go for it. Grabbing the stone, I closed my eyes.
Please, I beg of you: grant me the strength to pass along this happiness.
After a few seconds, I was about to let go, since nothing was happening, before feeling myself relax completely. Surprised, I looked down at my hands: they weren't shaking anymore. Thinking about the crowd, I was shocked when I didn't even felt a twinge of anxiety rising.
Thank you.
Cecil smiled knowingly at me, and Syo cheered.
"Yosh! Let's do this!"
We all ran out of the room, ready to give our best performance. Haruka was waiting for us, smiling brightly our way. We all clapped hands with her, and I gave a quick hug before running after the guys.
It's 2000% (Hey!), this amazing LOVE! (Get you!)
Let's start (Jump!), yes!
This happy live (syun syun!)
Thanks for waiting!
In the star-filled sky, (We are STARISH!)

Starlight revolution
We seriously love you (Yes we love you!)
Forever…
With all our might, 2000%
We love you!
Ba, bang! Ja, Jan! Love you!
The music had flown by before any of us could truly realize what was happening. One second, we were jumping on stage. The next, we were finished.
Something had happened, though. The sort of… happy-wave, had been stronger than ever as we all sang together, loosing ourselves to the music. Did everyone here felt it too? Did they felt this happiness as much as we did?
My heart's beating so hard it hurts…
Panting a little, I glanced to the boys surrounding me. They were all harboring the same tired, but happy grins.
But…
I knew I was sporting the same.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
"STARISH!"
Suddenly, I realized that we were surrounded by thousand of people as they all started cheering and whistling so loudly it made my head spin. Next to me, the boys grins had slipped, and we all stood next to each other, stunned.
"I-It's a miracle" Cecil breathed out.
"Are you sure you didn't start spinning in the middle?" replied Syo.
"W-what? No, I'm sure I didn't…"
"It was such a comfortable and dream-lie feeling…" remarked Tokiya, eyes a little unfocused.
"I felt like I saw the edge of the universe" added Otoya, much in the same state.
"Everyone joined together as one, and they were filled with a warm feeling" Natsuki was staring in the void.
"I've never felt anything like this before" admitted Ren, taken aback.
"Is it because we sang our hearts out?" proposed Masato.
"Whatever it was, we were fricking awesome" I breathed out.
They chuckled in agreement, and our eyes then landed on Haruka, who was standing behind the curtains on the side. We beamed her way, and what seemed to be happy tears ran down her cheeks as she smiled back.
"What was that just now!? Were we really here in this concert hall!? I've never heard a song like this before! Is everyone alright?"
Did we really do this? my heart was slowly calming down.
Then, lights blinded us as intense music blasted around.
"It's time to move on to the results!"
I hold my breath, gripping Ren and Tokiya's hands tightly.
This is it.
"For the first time in the history of the UtaPri Award, two groups have been nominated. We have experienced an unbelievable and dream-like world of song at the hands of these two young groups"
Did we win?
"On whose head will the crown of victory sparkle? Will it be HEAVENS, or will it be STARISH?"
Did we loose?
"Which is it!?"
We all raised our heads to the screens as numbers defiled at impossible speed under the respective names of our two groups.
Did we-
"Wait!"
We all turned around to see none other than Raging walking towards us on stage. Silence followed his intervention.
What is he up to? And why does he looks so… defeated?
"There is no need for the judges' results!" he then claimed. "This battle has already been decided!"
"B-but we haven't seen the scores yet!" protested Nagi as HEAVENS came on stage too.
"Don't you understand!?" snapped his director his way. "The desire to make others happy with their music… their music is several levels higher"
At the same time, the numbers stopped elevating, and we all could only stared, mouths agape, as confetti ran down on our heads, the word 'WINNER' bright and grand under STARISH's name.
We… win…
I gasped.
WE WIN!
The crowd went wild at that as I finally let go of Tokiya and Ren's hands, smiling somewhat apologetically to them when they rubbed them. They just shook their heads, smiling softly.
"It's STARISH! The favorite, HEAVENS, has been defeated! It's the birth of a new star!"
I let out a shaky breath, relief washing over me in a dizzying wave.
"I announce the dissolution of HEAVENS here and now!"
At Raging's sudden exclamation, silence befall the concert hall once more. My own happiness instantly disapeared. Then, said silence was soon broken by the all the fangirls of the group, who were pleading the director to rethink his decision and whatnot.
What a fucking dunce.
"Wait a fricking second!" I called, walking to him as the room quieted down at my outburst. "Disband them? There's no need to go to such lengths!"
"Please, don't disband them!" added Otoya.
"We do not consider ourselves victors" added Masato.
"There isn't winning or loosing in music, is there?" remarked Ren.
"We don't need your pity!" retorted Nagi.
"It's not pity, you blind fool" I snapped. "It's not for us or even for you that we're asking this. Look at them! Listen to them! They've been loyal to you until the end, and still are! Are you really going to betray them now!?"
They looked back at the crowd, who was still calling out to them.
"Angels…" whispered Eiichi.
They're such idiots. Blinded by their fame, they forgot who allowed them to keep their place on top since the beginning. Without fans, we are nothing.
"Please, don't disband their group" pleaded Natsuki.
"W-what is this!? STARISH demanding mercy on their fallen opponent?"
"You fools. Do you really think I could do that?" Raging gritted his teeth.
But then, of course Saotome had to come in and steal the spotlight. I rubbed my temples as his cackle echoed, drawing the attention. Lights fall upon him as he stood in some sort of cabin just above our heads.
"I see, I see!" he exclaimed. "Mr. Raging, are you familiar with the other prizes awarded at this concert hall?"
At that, something seemed to click in the man's mind.
"I-I will do anything the victor requires!"
"Yes, any wish can be granted!" confirmed our Director.
He jumped down, and somehow managed to land safely on the stage, before us.
"In other words, HEAVENS does not need to be disbanded!" he announced, spinning on himself. "If that is your wish, no one will oppose your desire!"
The fangirls of HEAVENS went mad with relief as the rest of us relaxed at the announcement. While I personally didn't like HEAVENS' members that much, I knew that asking them to disband was a cruel and unnecessary thing. They were arrogant, but this loss would hopefully teach them a thing or two.
They were blind, but now we've lightened their paths. Next time we share the stage, though, I hope it'll be in friendlier terms. This one was waaay too much pressure for me.
"HEAVENS has escaped dissolution! Unbelievable!"
"Saotome, I accept your proposal" then agreed Raging.
With that, he turned around to leave.
"One more thing, Raging" I however stopped him. "Don't forget our bet. I win, remember?"
He shot me a look, before nodding stiffly and disappearing backstage. Grinning, I then turned to the others and offered a peace sign. They simply laughed.
"I can't believe there's something I cannot have" remarked Eiichi, farther behind.
He didn't seem angered by it, though, merely… pleasantly surprised, or something like that?
Weirdo.
"Don't think this is over!" then warned Nagi, apparently a sore looser.
"Over?" repeated Ren with a smirk. "Impossible"
"It's just getting started" nodded Masato.
I exchanged a knowing glance with the rest as Natsuki went to face our public.
"We have one last request!" he announced.
"Could we have a little more of your time?" asked Tokiya.
"We want to sing more!" exclaimed Syo.
"If we sing our song…" said Masato.
"With everyone here…" pursued Ren.
"If we sing together, surely…" Otoya smiled.
"You will all be filled with happiness!" assured Cecil.
"So, care to listen to us once more?" I grinned.
Well, now we've done it. Winning the UtaPri Award… I can't wait to see what'll come next!
YATAAAAA! LAST CHAPTER! So this is a wrap, people! I'm really glad you stuck with me so far, and I hope you'll keep up with my and Arya's antics some more, because much more trouble is to come, of course ;-)
I thank everyone who reviewed so far, and who favorited too!
QUESTIONS FOR ARYA!
Ne, ne, has any of you guessed who she'll end up with? Who do you think it'll be? Remember, no member of STARISH! I can also assure you that it isn't Ai or Nagi -they're like, 15 and 13, so really not her style-. Who will it be, then?
LOADS OF LOVE FOR YOU PEOPLE PLEASE REVIEW!
