Third Person's P.O.V.
••• Somewhere in A-Rise Entertainment •••
"NAANNIII?!" Yuki screamed at the top of her lungs. "You scheduled a freakin' WHAT?!"
"Well, technically, it wasn't me who scheduled it," Lovely, the president of A-Rise, said with a scared expression in her face. This is the first time I've seen her like this. "Right after the broadcast of your debut, Shining Agency called and .. Umm .. Wanted Lunar Fantasia to meet Starish .. Isn't that a great thing ..?"
"Oh hell no. It isn't! I don't ever want to see those jerk's faces or so help me kami-sama I don't know what I'll do to them!" Yuki threatened with her infamous death glare. "And it won't just be a smack from the head!"
"Excuse our friend, Lovely-san." Tenshi shot an apologetic look to Lovely before turning to Seika mouthing the word 'help'.
Seika added, "Onegai, Lovely-san. If you could just give Yu-chan some time to adjust, then everything will be just fine."
"Are you sure? Yuki-chi doesn't look okay with it," Lovely asked but now, worry is plastered on her face.
"Forgive us. Our friend's Zodiac sign is an Aries. I hope that explains her actions," Ichigo said a little robot-like, "Oh. That reminds me, my lucky color for tomorrow is yellow. I better go find my yellow Hatsune Miku outfit. Ja .. Matane!" Instantly Ichigo went off to her dorm.
"Gomen, Lovely-san. We gladly accept the agreement. We will be ready for the meeting tomorrow!" Mitzi butted in, obviously excited about meeting her idols while Yuki just rolled her eyes.
"Okay then," Lovely-san recovered quickly and returned to her unusually happy self again. "I believe tomorrow will be a blast! And will be full of something called ... Ai~" Lovely-san then giggled furiously.
Yuki sighed, "Guess there's no getting out of it, huh?" Defeat finally came to her.
Tenshi tried to lift her up, "C'mon! It certainly won't be that bad."
Seika added, "Heh. Isn't this part of the revenge, Yuki?" Yuki doesn't know anything yet but she sure as hell knows that Seika's getting serious because she said 'Yuki' instead of 'Yu-chan'.
Yuki smirked, "Ha! I guess it is." Both Yuki and Seika shared devious eyes as if plotting something, and just like that Yuki was back to her old self.
"Yay! It's settled, then!" Mitzi exclaimed, getting a little scared of Yuki and Seika exchanging faces. All of them know nothing good will come out of that. "Bye for now, gotta prepare for the big day, ya know?"
"I'll join you, Mitz-chan." Tenshi smiled and they both skipped happily towards their dorms. And Yuki is left alone with Seika.
"I'm guessing you have a plan in mind?" Yuki asked, excitement evident in her tone.
"Hmm. Just follow my lead during the actual day. I'm sure you're smart enough to catch on." Bluntly put by Seika, rather confident of what she planned.
"Fine. Don't tell me." Given the circumstances, Yuki still smirked, she trusts Seika on this one. "Let's head to our dorm. They're probably creating a mess right now." Seika smiled, thinking she is probably right.
The funny thing is they all shared one room. And they love it that way. The room is big enough for all 5 of them, it has everything they need and they always bond. Believe it or not, 5 queen-sized beds were placed in there!
"What the hell is going on here?!" Yuki asked, obviously angry at what she's seeing.
"We're getting ready for tomorrow!" Mitzi said smiling like and idiot and Tenshi agreed, also smiling.
"Duh," Seika rolled her eyes. "But what about those pile of clothes over there?"
"Oh! Those are the rejected ones." Tenshi replied almost immediately. "Those clothes are not worthy for Starish eyes to see." Mitzi nodded in agreement.
"Tch. Clothes are clothes. Why should we dress for them?" Annoyance evident in Yuki's voice.
"Well, I found my yellow Hatsune Miku dress and I'm all set for tomorrow," Ichigo half-smiled and continued. "I suggest Yuki wear an orange, Seika a pink, Tenshi something blue and Mitzi something red. That will be your lucky colors for tomorrow."
"Hai!" Both Tenshi and Mitzi trust Ichigo with her accuracy in fortune-telling.
"Although I don't believe in 'horoscopes'," emphasis on the horoscopes, "I'll do whatever floats your boat, Ichi-chan." Yuki showed a small smile which made everyone smile too, but Yuki returned and ruined the moment.
"It's kinda boring in here. Let's liven this place up!" And Yuki turned to Seika, who is closest to the remote.
Seika got the hint and turned the Wide Flat Screen TV they had in the middle of the room. The second it turned on, it showed the update on the UtaPri award and who are the nominees.
First nominee was the new idol group in Raging Agency, Heavens. Their genre was a cross with rock and pop. Yuki will surely like their new song, Heaven's Gate.
On the screen flashed a picture of 3 boys named, Nagi smiling brightly at the left side, Kira remained motionless at the right side, and Ootori at the middle of the stage like he owned the place, smirking more than a jerk face should.

"Now that's what I call music!" Yuki jammed out to the song, happiness written all over her face.
Though they want Yuki to always be happy, they just couldn't understand her choice of music.
The others looked at Yuki with a disgusted face and some with a meh expression.
Finally, Seika spoke up, "Would you turn that racket down!"
"Hold your horses, Granny!" Yuki mocked insult to Seika, "Can't you see it's almost over? Sheesh. Loosen up sometimes."
Heavens finished and Yuki is converted back to her usual self.
The next nominee is Starish. Immediately, Yuki scrunched up her nose and snorted out of anger and disgust. Seika didn't want to see it, so she pretended to be busy at the other side of the room mix matching clothes for tomorrow. Ichigo let out a black aura but her face is no different. On the other hand, Mitzi is claiming 'I'm their number one fan!' and Tenshi is ecstatic to see her two bestfriends performing, both jumping up and down while holding hands.
Honestly, they looked like morons.
Baka Tenshi! Baka Mitzi! How could you like them?!
Anyway, the screen showed a picture of 7 idiots flashing their 'million-dollar' smiles .. Not!
They sung their new song, Maji Love 2000%. It was a pop love song that Tenshi and Mitzi were abnormally happy to sing along to. Wait, let me correct that. They weren't singing, they were freakin' screaming the lyrics! Yeah, that's more like it.
''Tch. I can't believe we'll see those morons tomorrow!'' Yuki said still hates the idea about meeting them.

When the song stopped, Yuki let out an exaggerated sigh, "Ugghh. Finally, horrible singing over! I was starting to think my ears will start to bleed!" For the record, she was referring to Starish.
"Don't forget your eyes popping out! I can't even believe they won!" Seika joined the complaining of Yuki and the criticism towards Starish.
Suddenly, a knock on the door was heard. "Girls! It's time to go to bed!" It was only Sanjo-san. Followed by Lovely-san's sing-song voice, "Wouldn't want you to be late for the big day tomorrow! .. Oyasumi. Ordering to sleep early is one kind of my... Ai~" Of course she'll add that at the end. Typical.
The girls chorused, "Konbanwa-desu!"
"I'm kinda tired from all that singing." Mitzi yawned while falling backwards to her bed, snoring faintly, but happily, away. How careless can you get?
"Yes. It is absolutely correct to sleep at 9 pm, right now, seeing as we need to be ready by 10 in the morning. Good night, everyone," Ichigo said matter-of-factly, not sounding sleepy at all.
"Yeah. I agree. Sleeping late is bad for your skin, you know?" Tenshi being an ojou-sama, was taught all the things a lady should and shouldn't do.
Yuki hit realization, "Hey! I still don't have any clothes for tomorrow!" She added, "Not like I care but-" but she mumbled that last part making her voice inaudible.
"Don't be such a drama queen," Seika rolled her eyes, receiving a glare from Yuki, " I already got your clothes picked out. And might I add, it's just the way you like it."
Yuki smiled and thanked Seika in a whisper making sure that nobody gets waken up. Seika liked picking out clothes, she's a fashionista and she knows how to make a girl glamorous depending on the looks and personality.
••• The next day (9 am) •••
'Riiiiinnnggg!'
That wasn't a real alarm of a clock. That was Tenshi whispering in our ears. As expected of a lady, they wake up way before the schedule just to get ready, due to the internal clocks magically implanted in their bodies right after they were born.
Standing in front of Yuki, Seika and Ichigo, who had problems in waking up early, is Tenshi and Mitzi all dolled up as if they were going to a party. Tenshi is wearing a blue floral sleeveless sundress, a beige purse, and dark blue pumps. Her hair was on a one-sided ponytail, as usual, held by a sky blue ribbon.
Mitzi, on the other hand, decided not to braid her hair this day. Her highlights are now a combination of different shades of orange and she's also wearing a grey bonnet. She wears a white T-Shirt with a design of sort-of paint splashes and a red varsity jacket with a letter 'M' on the left-side, right below where the collar should be. She's wearing denim shorts and sneakers with black and white laces. Her grey socks are ankle-high.
"Wake up, sleepyheads!" Mitzi practically shouted and then, threw into fits of giggles.
Tenshi added, "Go get ready and we'll meet the three of you at the dining hall, okay?" And with that, they left us with half-opened eyes staring at the door they just disappeared to.
"Let's get to it, then." Seika exclaimed heading towards her side of the big bathroom. Yuki and Ichigo soon reached their own shares of the bathroom.
After cleaning up, they went straight to their very spacious walk-in closet.
Ichigo reached for a hanger that held her yellow Hatsune Miku costume and got dressed. She tied her hair into two ponytails and puffed her brown curly hair. But before going out, she snuck a piyo-chan plushie in her pocket, "Matane .. I'll head out first."
That leaves Seika and Yuki alone in their closet. Yuki broke the silence, "So what do you have in store for me, today?"
Instantly, Seika reached for a hanger and revealing her clothes.
It was a long-sleeved orange shirt with a huge black skull poison-sign printed on it. It has a black vest on the shirt. She also has black shorts, its fabric somehow that of leggings, knee-high black and orange socks, and black shoes.
After Yuki was dressed, and put on her red headband, it was Seika's turn to go dress into her own.
It was a pink polka-dotted long sleeve shirt (the dots were pink) with peek-a-boo sleeves and a puffy black skirt. She put on black stockings and converse with different-colored laces, one pink, and one black. She put her hair into a high ponytail and wore a baseball hat. Hats just never disappear from her outfit.
Glancing at both Yuki and herself, Seika felt proud of her creation. The clothes complemented Yuki's skin, eyes and hair color, as well as the clothes of Seika to herself. Both of them looked beautiful.
And so, they went to the dining hall where everyone gathered to grab some light breakfast. 3 meters away, they can already hear voices conversing and laughing. It was always so lively.
"Ohayo gozaimas, minna." Seika said while sitting down. "Ohayo," Yuki followed, just for manners, obviously she still hates the stupid meeting today.
"Ohayo!" Mitzi and Tenshi greeted rather excited.
"Girls, are you ready for today?" Sanjo-san asked, worry written all over her face.
Lovely-san slapped the back of Sanjo-san, "Don't worry about it! This day will definitely be full of Ai~"
Then, eyed the girls one by one, "Hayate is not going," Lovely-san said with a serious tone.
"What!? But I want him to go!" Seika whined. "He's part of the plan," she added in her mind.
"It's his decision. You girls should respect it," Sanjo-san said, firmly.
Yuki protested, "Hey! No fair! It's also my decision not to go! How come-" but Lovely cut her short.
"That's what you call... Ai~"
"He should just be a man and suck it up. I'm sure he's secretly itching to see her," Seika commented again, still irritated by the fact.
Mitzi disagreed while Tenshi nodded, "I actually think Hayate wants to meet her."
"On the contrary," Ichigo interrupted, "They are both Aquarius and Aquarius' are very emotional. It's just up to them wether they'll show it or not."
What they didn't know, Hayate was listening to their conversation from the back of the door through a slit. It seems that Yuki forgot to fully close it.
"I can speak for myself, thank you very much," Hayate said sarcastically while walking towards his seat, his hands inside his pockets.
"How long have you been there?" Sanjo-san questioned.
"Oh, him? He's been there the whole time. I'm pretty sure he heard everything," Tenshi casually said as if it was the most obvious thing ever.
"Why didn't you say anything?!" Sanjo-san asked a bit irritated.
"Well, excuse me for being polite. You know, it's rude to interrupt in serious conversations like you had a minute ago," Tenshi answered defending herself from being scolded.
"It is already past 10 o'clock," Ichigo informed us, checking on the clock. Everyone haven't notice the time at all except for Ichigo.
"We should get going, then," Lovely-san shot up and soon every body is heading to the door.
"There is no way to get out of this, is there?" Yuki complained about the fact that she'll see Starish again.
"Nope." Hayate said, popping the 'p', "And trust me, I've tried." Simultaneously, they both sighed out of frustration. "Good Luck, Kami-sama," Hayate joked with a wink trying to lighten up the conversation.
"Haha. Very funny. Hmm, well, matane Haya-kun." Yuki replied with a small smile and waved a little before joining her friends.
Yuki and Hayate are very close friends while Seika feels close to Hayate. Take note: feels. Only Hayate gets the honor to address Yuki as Kami-chan or 'Kami-sama' and be addressed by Yuki with '-kun'.
"Sayonara, Haya-chan!" Seika yelled and Hayate just sweat-dropped and waved back in return. "H-hai. S-sayonara, Sei."
"Sei-chan! You idiot!"
"S-Sei...-chan."
••• In Shining Agency •••
The ticking of the clock was heard inside the room where Saotome-san decided to gather everyone for an 'important meeting'. In the room was long conference table with 10 chairs on each side, 2 couches opposite to each other, a projector behind the couch at the front and 2 holographic projectors evenly placed at the center of the table.
"Who are we supposed to meet anyways? I still have a game to win. I already have the perfect technique to beat devil Jin!" Syo grumbled. "The chance of you winning is 25% with the plan you have in mind," Ai commented.
Syo just gaped at him. "How did you?"
"They're late," Camus grumbled.
"Shining-san, what's the meeting for?" Haruka asked.
"Just wait," Saotome replied.
Suddenly, the doors flew open. Everyone almost fell off their seats while Saotome smiled even more widely, if that's even possible, as if he expected it.
"Oh, gosh! We're terribly sorry, we're late. We just lost track of time," Lovely-san exaggerated sincerity with a pout on her face.
"It's O K ! Misssss Looovelyyy," Saotome replied emphasizing every word as always.
Beside Lovely is Sanjo-san and behind her are 5 girls same ages as Starish or also known as Lunar Fantasia.
Lovely was looking at the members of Shining Agency one by one, and Sanjo-san was obviously nervous about the current situation, Yuki and Seika were glaring at everyone, Mitzi and Tenshi looked like they've won the lottery, Ichigo still wearing an emotionless mask over her face and everyone at the Shining Agency looked ... well ... confused.
Ren was the first to notice the girls, "And who are these beautiful maidens at the back?" He was about to go over them when the glares of Yuki and Seika stopped him and decided to sit back down.
"Please, sit down," Ringo-chan offered to the invited guests.
Here is the seat plan. On the couch is Saotome with Ryuuya and Ringo-chan, seated at the chairs on the left side are Nanami, Natsuki, Otoya, Cecil, Masato, Ren, Syo, Tokiya, Ai, Reiji respectively, on the right side are Seika, Yuki, Ichigo, Tenshi, Mitzi, Ranmaru, Camus, Tomochika, Empty chair (?), Sanjo-san; with Seika on the first and so on. Last but not the least, Lovely on the couch at the opposite side of the room.
"Everyone, I'd love to propose a collaboration," Saotome said and everyone is shocked and gasped at the word 'collaboration'. "The collaboration of Starish," then made a gesture to the boys "and Lunar Fantasia." and made a motion towards the girls.
Yuki is cursing under her breath and seems to laugh a little to herself about something, Seika began chanting to Lovely-san 'Don't do it. Don't say yes.' over and over in her mind, Ichigo began a battle in her mind wether choosing Oto-niichan or her pride, Tenshi and Mitzi are waiting for her to say yes even crossing their fingers and closing their eyes for prayer.
Starish looked surprised, but there are no signs of other kind of expression, they honestly looked... a little happy? Well, except for Syo, his jaw hit the floor.
Quartet Night just remained emotionless.
Seika's lip began twitching upward. She finds the different expressions of her friends funny. 'I think I know why Yuki's laughing by herself,' she thought. If you were there too, I'd bet you'd be ROFLing.
Saotome stared at Lovely, expectantly, waiting for an answer. Lovely stood up and smiled. Eventually, Saotome smiled too.
"No."
Lovely replied, her smile turned into a frown.
