//Hontou ni taisetsu na mono igai subete sutete

Ai o kureru mono no tame dekiru koto
Ah! Deatta ano koro wa
Subete ga bu kiyou de
Toomawari shita yo ne

Ah! Itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made
Dou ka sono egao ga
Taema naku aru you ni
Ah! Deatta ano koro wa
Subete ga bukiyou de
Toomawari shita yo ne
Tadoritsuitan da ne//
"Now I know why Rukawa, Sendo, Fujima, Kiyota and Hanagata fell in love with Veniz!" Ryota replied. Ayako stared at him and asked, "Really?"
Ryota nod his head and said, "She's perfect that's why!" Ayako just have to agree with that. Veniz and Hanamici joined them after that presentation.
"Nee Sakuragi! Never thought you're some hell of a singer!" Mitsui teased. Hanamichi frowned and exclaimed, "Shut up Mitchy!"
Veniz approached Kaede who was very silent through out the program. "Hey Kaede-kun!" she greeted. Kaede smiled at her and said, "You sang beautifully back there." Veniz blushed and said, "Arigato! Are you going to watch the cheer dance competition?"
Kaede nod his head and said, "Yeah. of course I would, I love watching you." Veniz blushed deeper and wasn't able to say anything. Then Niki tugged her away saying, "Common, time to change for the cheer dance competition!"
Veniz just smiled back at him. Kaede waved back.
Hanamichi sighed and said, "She hasn't said it. geez!"
Our gang headed for the plaza for the cheer dance competition. They saw many Shohoku fans, Shoyo fans, Ryonan fans, Takezono fans and Kainan fans.
The Takezono cheering squad went first dancing and cheering to the tune of "I Can't" by Okui Masami. The next squad was from Shoyo dancing and cheering to the tune of "Future Girls" by Smile.dk . After Shoyo was the Kainan cheering squad, dancing and cheering to the tune of "Change My Style" by KOTOKO. Ryonan squad danced and cheered in the tune of "Sakura Saku" by Hayashibara Megumi.
The last was Shohoku cheering squad. The speakers blasted the tune of "Traveling" by Utada Hikaru. Shohoku fans were cheering wildly. The cheerleaders of Shohoku were dressed in short red skirts and sleeveless red shirt with black line across it. All of them were carrying long sticks that looked like batons but aren't.
As they danced and cheered, everyone joined them. The choreography of the dance was simply amazing and danceable. The execution was perfect. Everyone was awed by it.
"Look at that!" Jin replied in awe. "I had to admit, they'll going to win this!" he continued looking at Maki. "Niki Haruka and Veniz Sakuragi are amazing cheerleading heads! They made the cheering squad of Shohoku professional cheerers!"
Sakuragi cried, "GO VENIZ! GO HARUKO!" Mitsui was crying, "GO NIKI!"
As the cheer dance ended and the winner was Shohoku High! "YEAH!!" Niki and Veniz cried. Shohoku fans swarmed the plaza. Niki scrambled to get out from the crowd. Mitsui found her arm and pulled her away from it.
Mitsui hugged Niki saying, "Omedetu Niki-chan!" Niki kissed softly on the lips and said, "Arigato Mitch-chan!"
"Itai!" Haruko exclaimed as she fell from the floor. Someone bumped into her and down she fell hard on the concrete floor.
Someone offered a hand and asked, "Daijoubu ka Haruko-chan?" Haruko looked up and saw Hanamichi grinning at her. Haruko took his hand and said, "Hai Sakuragi-kun! Arigato!"
Hanamichi laughed and said, "Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha! Anytime Haruko-chan!" Meanwhile Ayako was calling out, "Kogure-sempai! Akagi-sempai! Where the hell are they?"
She gazed at the mobbing crowd and said to herself, "Shit! I lost them all!" she turned around and bumped into someone. She looked at that someone and saw Ryota blushing and smiling at her.
"Miyagi! You idiot! Why didn't you tell me that you're just standing behind me?" Ayako demanded blushing. Ryota scratched his head and said, "Gomenasai Ayako-chan! I didn't notice that it was you! I was looking for Hanamichi or Mitsui but I lost them!"
Ayako sighed and said, "What a crazy festival! I also lost my companions!" Ryota held out his hand and asked, "Can I be your companion tonight?" Ayako looked at him and smiled and said, "Miyagi, you're too sweet!" with that she took his hand.
Veniz felt someone wrapping his arms around her. She knew those arms and said, "Kaede-kun!" Kaede smelled the fragrance of her hair and said, "Congratulations!"
She turned around and said, "I have something to tell you."
