-Normal Earth/EARTH 10519-
Tokyo, Japan
It's a nice morning in Japan as we head towards a TV station and inside one room, we see Raki Kiseki, Maika Chouno, Ema Hinata, Yuzu Nikaidou and two more girls gathered inside having a meeting.
The first girl is a tall with a pale complexion and sharp, dual-colored magenta and red eyes. She has curly, silver to pale blue ombre hair styled into four curled ringlets that fall down to her legs, along with a straight cut bang. Pinned into her hair is a dark indigo corsage, adorned by a single purple gemstone and two small black feathers in the center. This is Lily Shirogane.
The second girl has a split-colored hair, with the top half pale blue and the bottom soft violet. She has multiple short bangs with one thick piece curled in the center to resemble the bottom portion of hair, which curls on the end. She has bright sapphire blue eyes with large amount of violet around the bottom. Beneath her right eye is a yellow star, and she often wears pink "ears" on the top of her head with a yellow heart on each one. This is Nina Doujima.
What's this meeting all about?
Well... Ako Saotome, host of an animal program, is about to make her Hollywood debut and cannot attend her program because she's busy, so she decided to leave her program in the hands of Yuzu and Lily. In order to make the show a success, Yuzu and Lily enlist the help of Raki, Maika, Ema and Nina.
Lily then handed each girls a script book, "Here is the script." she presented.
Raki picks it up, "Kyaha!" she cheered.
"Nothing's set on stone yet, so throw out any ideas you come up with." Yuzu beckoned.
Raki then raised a hand, "I've got one!" she proclaimed, "Please let me do a segment on the show too!" she requested.
Nina turns to her, "Raki-chan, want to make it together?" she suggested with a smile.
Raki smiled back, "Kyaha! I'm game if you are, Nina-chan!" she accepted.
Ema then raised a hand up, "Oh! Would it be okay if we invited a special guest too?" she suggested.
Yuzu gave her a thumbs-up, "Approved!" she accepted, "But whom are we gonna invite for the show?" she questioned.
Before anyone could utter a reply, they heard a shout from outside, "DELIVER US FROM ALL!" which surprises everyone in the room. Then the door open and in came Chizuru Tachibana with a parcel in hand and recognized the occupants in the room, "A fine morning ladies." he greeted.
"Chizuru-san, what are you doing here?" Raki asked in surprise.
"As you see, I'm here to deliver these parcel to those two." Chizuru replied while turning to Lily and Yuzu, "Here's the cat ears that you ordered alongside small bottle of diet pills." he presented, "Normally, I would question who ordered the diet pills but I value my life, so I won't." he stated with a blank look.
"Hey! I won't get mad even if you ask!" Yuzu exclaimed only for her to clamp her mouth shut upon realizing her blunder.
"So it belongs to you." Chizuru confirmed.
"Yuzu-chan? Have you gained weight?" Lily questioned.
Yuzu shook her head, "Anyway... thanks for delivering these to us, Tachibana-san." she said in gratitude while changing the subject when an idea came to mind, "Aha!" she exclaimed.
"Aha-what?" Chizuru questioned.
"Are you, Asaba-san and Oohori-san free this weekend?" Yuzu asked.
"Me and Yuuki are free." Chizuru replied, "Oohori, on the hand, is gonna busy building a life-sized replica of Paul Bunyan's statue." he stated.
"Why Paul Bunyan?" Maika questioned in disbelief.
Chizuru shrugged his shoulders, "Beats me." he replied before turning to Yuzu, "So... what about it?" he asked.
Suddenly, Yuzu dramatically pointed a finger at him, "Because the Stage-jack Ninjas are gonna be needed!" she declared with a smile.
"YOU STILL REMEMBER THAT?!" Chizuru exclaimed in disbelief.
-BREAK-
That weekend at the same television station where Ako's slightly tweaked animal program is being taped, we see the staff members getting the set ready while the girls are getting themselves ready in the dressing room.
As this is going on, we see Chizuru and Yuuki Asaba having a conversation somewhere in the set.
Both of them are currently reading a comment thread on their respective phones, "Wow... I have no idea that our Stage Jack Ninja-personas would become so popular." Yuuki commented in awe.
"Those Stage Jack Ninjas are a funny bunch, I hope to see them again one day." Chizuru read out loud at one comment, "What's wrong with these people?" he questioned in disbelief.
Yuuki then puts away his phone, "At least no recognizes that it's us outside from the idols, so I guess there's no harm of doing it again." he stated, "But can we pull it off without Oohori?" he asked.
Chizuru smirked, "Don't worry." he reassured, "I brought someone to take his place." he stated, "And he's perfect for a show like these." he added.
An hour later, taping finally started with Yuzu, Lily and Raki appearing on the colorful stage, all three girls are wearing cat-ears.
"Good nyaning!" Yuzu greeted, "I'm Yuzu Meowkaidou!" she introduced herself.
"And I'm Lily Shirogane." Lily followed, "Thank you for tuning in." she said in gratitude.
"We want to start the show right, so today's a very special episode!" Yuzu exclaimed in excitement, "Yuzu 'nyan Lily are your host today!" she declared.
"With extra guests and extra fun, we hope you'll have an enjoyable time." Lily beckoned with a smile.
"Everyone smile!" Yuzu beckoned.
"We love animals!" Yuzu and Lily declared at the same time, "Yuzu 'n Lily Nyan!" they cheered alongside Raki while doing cat-like hand movements.
"We have a performance for you right out of the gate!" Yuzu announced.
"The first song will be brought to you by Honey Cat." Lily followed.
Yuzu and Lily then struck a cat-like pose, "Enjoy!" they advised.
And with that, Maika and Ema appears on set and started their performance.

After that performance, Maika and Ema waves their hands in gratitude on set while Yuzu, Lily and Raki sat down on a stump-like seat.
"Good nyaning!" Maika and Ema greeted at the same time.
Maika then spoke, "For our next segment, it's me, Maika Chouno...'' she introduced herself.
"... and me, Ema Hinata, with the petting zoo corner!" Ema followed.
Maika then turns her attention towards the door on a tree-like set with stairs, "Joining us here today is this very special guest." she presented.
The door then opens and enters Mikuru Natsuki with a ferret in arms, "Hello! Mikuru Natsuki here!" she greeted, "And this little guy is named Ferry." she introduced.
"Wow, he's so cute!" Maika complimented, "And he's a ferret?" she asked.
"Yeah." Mikuru confirmed, "And he's such a good boy." she said.
"H-He sure is adorable." Ema commented rather nervously.
Everyone then turns to see Ema hiding behind Raki, Yuzu and Lily while shivering at the same time, "I forgot that Ema is scared of small animals." Maika admitted.
Mikuru turns to her pet, "Let's show everyone Mikuru and Ferry's Miracle!" she announced before placing the ferret on the floor, "Here we go, Ferry." she beckoned, "Sit." she ordered which the ferret complied, "Shake." she complied while offering a hand and the ferret responded by placing it's paws on her hand.
"Amazing!" Maika exclaimed in awe.
As this is going on, Ema watches them nervously, "Is Ferry, uh, technically a small animal? Hamster are so tiny they're scary but I'm fine with baby kittens! Judging by size, would that make Ferry the same as a cat? I don't what to think anymore!" she ranted in her thought. Suddenly, Ferry appears before her with an eager expression, "HIIIIIIIII!" Ema shrieked in shock upon seeing Ferry on top of Yuzu's head.
"Don't worry, he's very well behaved." Mikuru reassured, "It looks like he wants you to pet him." she stated.
"O-Okay..." Ema complied nervously before reaching a hand towards the ferret and not a second later, Ema finds herself petting and cuddling Mikuru's pet, much to everyone's awe and relief.
"Well done!" Mikuru complimented.
"Ema, you persevered!" Maika cheered.
Ema sighed in relief, "I'm getting emotional." she confessed.
Before anyone could say anything when suddenly, two figures wearing ninja attires appears on set, much to everyone's surprise (albeit fake). Behind the ninja attires are none other than Chizuru and Yuuki.
"Woah! It's you guys!" Yuzu exclaimed.
The duo made a pose, "Hiyah! The Stage-Jack Ninjas are back! We're hijack shows for our own amusement!" Chizuru introduced themselves with a declaration, "If you want us to leave the stage, you have to perform for us to satisfy our ninja-amusement!" he demanded.
"But there's only two of you!" Raki pointed out.
Chizuru smirked behind his mask, "Kuh-kuh!" he chuckled, "That's where you're wrong!" he pointed out when suddenly, Curtis Pawpower jumps in front of everyone while wearing the same ninja attire at the two, "Behold! The Stage-Jack Ninja Hamstah!" he introduced with Curtis striking a pose.
"EEEEKKK!" Ema shrieked before hiding behind Raki, Yuzu and Lily.
"The Stage-Jack Ninja Hamstah?" Maika muttered, "A fitting name." she complimented.
"And very cute, too." Mikuru added.
"Now then! If you want us off the set then you better give us a performance!" Chizuru demanded.
"If it's a performance you want, then it's a performance you'll get!" a voice replied.
"That voice!" Yuzu exclaimed.
Everyone the turns around to see Nina coming out from the door with an eager look on her face.
"It's Nina Doujima!" Maika introduced.
Nina winks at everyone, "Leave this to me!" she said, "I'll give these guys are performance so great that they'll beg for more!" she declared.
"One performance is enough." Yuuki reminded.
And with that, Nina started her performance.

After that performance, everyone on set gave Nina an applause, much to her gratitude.
The ninjas clapped their hands in awe, "Splendid performance!" Chizuru complimented, "We'll keep up our words! We shall leave the set!" he declared with a finger pointed upwards, "But before that...'' he trailed before snapping a finger, then Curtis then hops over Raki's hand, "Please look aftah the little guy for the rest of the show." he advised.
Raki smiled, "Hai! Leave it to me!" she declared.
And after the ninjas left the stage, the animal program went on without a hitch.
Raki and Nina later did a comedy sketch alongside an owl and Curtis, and after that, Raki, Nina, Maika, Ema and Mikuru were later joined by Haruka Ruka for an animal quiz contest where Raki & Nina managed to win.
Nina then spoke, "It's time for the grand finale!" she announced, "Yuzu 'n Lily's performance is now, ya know!" she cheered.
And with that, Yuzu and Lily appears on set and started their performance.

After that performance, everyone on set gave Yuzu and Lily an applause, much to their gratitude.
"We hope we were able to bring you all lots of joy and lots of smiles!" Yuzu exclaimed in excitement.
"Good fortune comes to those who laugh, ya know!" Nina reminded.
"And good fortune means you'll be lucky!" Raki added.
"That's right, pow!" Nina said in agreement while pulling the springed buns on both sides of her head.
Lily smiled, "See you next week." she beckoned.
"Be sure to tune in!" Yuzu added.
"Bye-bye!" everyone cheered while waving their hands with the ninjas popping out from the background for a minutes, giving the audience a thumbs-up before disappearing.
And after the show went off-air, we see everyone gathered around outside the set with Mikuru, Maika, Ema and Haruka playing with Ferry while Raki had a conversation with Nina.
"Kyaha!" Raki cheered.
"Raki-chan, you've got a crazy good smile right now!" Nina pointed out in awe.
"Just watching them perform made me really excited, and I had so much fun too!" Raki explained in excitement, "It's like they were feeding me with happiness." she described.
Mikuru then walks towards them, "That's exactly right." she said in agreement, "Aikatsu is about giving smiles and making happiness." she pointed out.
Yuzu then appears next to Raki, "And just by making others happy, you'll feel crazy happiness yourself." she added with Lily appearing next to her.
"Kyaha! Today I learned something crazy good!" Raki admitted.
"Indeed, crazy in the best way." Lily said in agreement.
"I want to give people smiles and happiness too!" Raki proclaimed.
"Yeah, go for it." Mikuru beckoned.
"Raki-chan, I'll be cheering on your Aikatsu!" Nina declared.
"Thanks." Raki said in gratitude.
Chizuru and Yuuki then approaches the girls, "Hey, girls." the former greeted, "Sweet show! Ya girls did a great job." he complimented.
Yuzu turns to them, "Ah! Tachibana-san, Asaba-san, good work." she complimented, "And thank you for contributing yourselves for the show." she said in gratitude.
"The fans must be delighted to see the Stage-Jack Ninjas again." Raki said with a smile.
Chizuru is checking his phone, "I think they already are." he pointed out, "Awesome! The Stage-Jack Ninjas are back and the Stage-Jack Ninja Hamstah is very cute." he read one comment out loud, "Seriously... what's wrong with these people?" he questioned in disbelief, causing everyone to burst out in laughter.
Raki then presented Curtis back to Chizuru, "Chizuru-san, here's your cute little hamster." she said with Curtis jumping on the blonde's right shoulder, "And thanks for lending him to me." she said in gratitude.
"No pleasure." Chizuru reassured, "Curtis, himself, had fun being in the show." he said with the hamster nodding in agreement.
"And Ferry gets along well with him, too." Mikuru added with a smile.
"Since the return of the Stage-Jack Ninjas were well-received, you wouldn't mind appearing again for next week's show?" Yuzu suggested.
"Kuh-Kuh..." Chizuru chuckled before facefaulting, "No." he replied flatly, causing everyone to burst out in laughter.
-BREAK-
Hollywood, California
Meanwhile in a studio somewhere in Hollywood, California, we see Ako Saotome watching Yuzu & Lily's version of her animal program on her phone.
Ako is seen shaking in jealousy, "You all..." she muttered, "It's no fair to leave me out of all the fun!" she cried out, "I'm going to show what I can really do next time!" she declared while the staff members watches in bewilderment and amongs the staff member is Nagisa Shirai.
"What's up with her?" Nagisa questioned in confusion.
And that's that and I hope you all enjoy this new chapter! The songs featured in this chapter are titled, You × I, Miel Miere and Animal Carnival.
These are the characters debuted in this chapter:
Nina Doujima from Aikatsu!
Lily Shirogane from Aikatsu Stars!
In the next chapter, Raki, Chizuru, Yuuki and Oohori will be working on a fan event hosted by Powapowa-Puririn and FuwaFuwa Dreamer in an amusement park, so please look forward for it.
Until then paalam!
"Uhhhh..."
Chizuru, Yuuki, Raki, Maika, Ema, Mikuru, Yuzu, Lily, Haruka and Nina stares at a life-sized replica of Paul Bunyan's statue in front of them with Cesaro Oohori doing Big Daddy Fat's moonwalk dance.
"What do you think everyone?" Oohori asked in glee, "I made a life-sized replica of Paul Bunyan's statue all by myself!" he boasted.
"S-Sugoi..." Raki muttered in awe.
"So big." Yuzu commented.
"I can't believe that he actually built a life-sized replica of Paul Bunyan's statue." Ema muttered in disbelief.
"And he did in weeks time." Yuuki pointed out.
"Mio is right." Maika said, "You guys are so full of surprises." she stated.
"Tell us something that we don't know." Chizuru replied.
Chizuru, Yuuki, Raki, Maika, Ema, Mikuru, Yuzu, Lily, Haruka and Nina can't help but stare at the life-sized replica of Paul Bunyan's statue in front of them while Oohori does a Macarena dance.
