Elcall: umm... sorry, not really planning to do the theater/beauty part... since it's not directly related to the main theme...

Sparkles flew as Yume and Laura appeared on the stage. Yume wore her special Grade-up Glitter Lovely Rainbow Dream Coord, and Laura wore her, also personal, Aqua Starry Rock Coord.

(Haha, did anyone else notice Yume's coord name is a pun? Her last name is Nijino, which has Niji, Japanese for rainbow in it. And her first name is Yume, which means dream. So it kinda sounds like the Lovely Nijino Yume Coord.)

The music to Episode Solo began to play.

"Outro ga owaru to..." Laura started, her cool blue and purple diamond aura shining.

"Intro ga nagarete kuru..." Yume sang along, as her cute pink ribbon aura starting to show.

"Tsugi no kyoku e!
Junbi wa ī? Shinkokyū
Chotto dake yubi ga furueteru

Susunde iku butai ni wa kimi hitori
Shunkan sekai ga kawaru no."

"Kodoku wo osorenai on'nanoko ga iru," Laura sang.
"On'naji yūki wo motteru nakama ga iru," Yume smiled.
"episode Solo
Atsumattara good collaboration
Saikyō no LIVE!"

Yume and Laura posed, smiling outside, but exhausted inside.

Yume wiped the sweat off her forehead. Laura was really good, she thought. It'll be hard to beat her.

Laura took a sip from her water bottle. Yume is... she panted. ...surprisingly good. It'll be hard to win.

Nevertheless... they thought together. I will be victorious!

"All right!" Anna-sensed announced. "The votes have been tallied, and... the score is dead even!"

Yume's jaw dropped.

Laura's eyes widened to the point that it was barely humanly possible.

"A tie?!" they yelled together.

"So who gets into S4?" Yuzu grinned, performing a flip and landing next to Anna-sensei on the stage.

"According the the guidebook," Headmaster Moroboshi said, walking through the door with one of his signature blue roses," we will continue to have rounds until one or the other wins."

"That's nice," Yume said. "But Headmaster... where did you come from...?"

"The door," he said.

They all fell over anime-style.

"Honestly, how dense," Yume said, shaking her head.

The thoughts of Laura, Mahiru, Ako, and Koharu: Yume's saying that?

Laura smirked. "Then next time, I will win."

Yume glared back. "Bring it on!"

Sparks flew as the two prepared to face off once again...

"Hey, hey, Yume, Laura!" Mahiru yelled. "Settle it in the next round!"

The rivals ignored her as she continued to scold them.

"But doesn't this seem too competitive even for rivals?" Koharu asked.

"Where did this even start from?" Ako asked herself.

"..." The two friends stood in silence.

"Lily-senpai's collapse..." Ako realized. "Then the free pass..."

"I'm sorry to have caused trouble," Lily said, somehow right between them.

Koharu and Ako's eyes widened, and they jumped back.

"L-Lily-senpai!" Koharu stuttered.

"Lily-senpai, how...?!" Ako said.

"What are you doing, Lilienne?" Yuzu's voice yelled.

Ako looked around, and couldn't find her. Suddenly, Yuzu fell from who knows where and landed right in front of her.

"Heya!" Yuzu shouted, winking.

"Yuzu... senpai..." Ako said slowly.

"Yeah?"

"You were on the stage just now, right?"

"Yep!"

"The stage is ten feet off the ground..."

"So?"

Anna-sensei looked at all the chaos - Yume and Laura glaring daggers at each other; Mahiru yelling; Ako, Koharu, Lily, and Yuzu having some half in awe/half weirded out conversation.

"This is bad," Headmaster Moroboshi said.

"This is your fault, Heamaster," Anna-sensei smirked.

"I know..."

I included a lot of comedy in the ending! Like it? Oh yeah, this is irrelevant, but Episode 47 was awesome! SPOILER ALERT: Ako and Kanata both do calculations! My ship is sailing! Not really, but kinda. And I love the scene where the headmaster and Asahi cry. So funny!
