The next morning, Yozora was the first to wake up. She then proceeded to get ready and then called the others up.

"Are we going on another morning jog?" Mahiru asked while getting up.

Yozora nodded in confirmation.

The girls got ready and they stepped out. They went downstairs to the lobby to go outside, but were met with a familiar group.

"Oh!" Subaru spoke. "You girls are going on a morning run again?"

Yozora nodded. "Yes."

"Alright. Let's do our best." Subaru replied. He nodded to the other boys and they started their run.

Yozora turned to the girls. "Okay, let's start too."

The girls nodded and they were off.

After they all jogged, the group had another show at the same venue. They finished that performance and were on the road again for the second stop. They were given lunch before the show and were left to wait.

Ako sat back on one of the couches available and pulled out her Aikatsu Mobile. Everyone else was discussing with others or to themselves. Bored with her waiting, Ako opened an app and started watching videos of cats, her favorite.

Her eyes glistened and she couldn't help but coo and laugh at the cats.

"Are those cats?"

Ako shrieked and slammed her mobile down. She snapped her head to look over.

Nozomu gave an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you."

Ako sighed. "No, it's okay. I thought…" She thought it was Kanata. Her eyes wandered over to him, where she spotted him with Asahi in a discussion. Ako shook her head and looked at Nozomu.

He had followed her gaze and was looking at Kanata, too. "I see." He said.

Ako jumped. "No! No! It's nothing!" She face started to burn.

Nozomu laughed. "Alright then." He glanced at her phone. "What were you watching?"

Ako covered her face with a hand. "Cat videos…" She replied.

"Oh," he answered. "Well that's interesting. To be honest, I think it suits you."

Ako's eyes widened and she turned her gaze up at him. "W-what?"

Nozomu smiled sweetly. "You and cats. You're cute like one."

Ako blushed deeply and turned her face away. "Th-thank you…" She muttered.

Nozomu laughed. "You shouldn't get embarrassed. I'm sure you get complimented all the time."

Ako's hand found a lock of hair and she started tugging it. She continued to blush. "Thank you." She said again, unsure of what else to say.

"No need to thank me, Ako."

Ako looked up at him. She wanted to return the compliment to him. "Um, Nozomu-"

"M4! You're up in ten minutes!" A stage hand suddenly burst into the room and called.

The boys looked up.

"Okay!" Subaru answered back.

Nozomu stood up neatly and looked down at Ako. "We should go. I'll speak to you another time, Ako."

Ako stared up at him. "Yea. Okay. Good luck!"

Nozomu smiled. "Thank you."

He joined the others as they were leaving the room.

Nozomu smiled as he caught Kanata's eye. "Yes?" He asked.

Kanata watched Nozomu silently and answered, "Nothing."

Nozomu smiled. "That's good. I don't think I could handle another rival, like you."

Kanata stopped and stared as Nozomu continued walking. "What?" He asked in a low voice. He shook his head and soon followed after them.

The group had a successful show and then had another in the evening in the same place.

They were staying at another hotel again that night, and they were all settling into their room.

Yume jumped onto the sofa in the room. "Hey!" She called to get everyone's attention. "Let's do something."

Laura sighed and joined her on the sofa. "Yea. I'm tired."

"Well, tomorrow is our last show." Mahiru said.

"Tomorrow!" Ako squawked. "It's Saturday?"

Yozora giggled. "Yes, it is."

Yume gasped. "I can't believe it! It feels like we just started!"

Yozora smiled. "That's how it feels."

"So our last performance is tomorrow?" Laura restated.

"Yea," Mahiru answered.

They elapsed into silence.

"You know," Yozora began, "I saw a bath downstairs. Maybe we could all go?"

The girls perked up.

"Yea!" Yume jumped up. "That sounds perfect!"

Laura, Mahiru, and Ako agreed. So the girls gathered their things and started going downstairs.

They found the bath, and gazed at it in awe. It was large and luxurious.

Yume cheered with joy. "Oh wow! This is amazing!" She grabbed the closest person beside her, who was Ako. "Come on Ako! Let's go!"

Ako yelped as Yume yanked her away towards the water.

Laura and Mahiru giggled, but soon rushed over with them. Yozora smiled and followed after them.

The sound of the knocking of wood filled the hallway for the third time.

"Why aren't they opening the door?" Subaru groaned. "Nozomu, is this the right room?"

Nozomu nodded. "It is."

"Maybe they're not in?" Asahi asked, tilting his head.

"Obviously." Kanata retorted.

Asahi pouted.

Subaru let out a breath and put his hands on his hips. "Where could they be?"

Nozomu smiled. "Perhaps they went to get a meal downstairs?"

Subaru nodded and hummed, closing his eyes. "You might be right."

The boys stared at him, waiting.

"Okay! Let's go!" Subaru said finally, opening his eyes.

He led them down the hall towards the elevator, when its doors opened.

The girls stepped out.

"Oh," Yozora said, surprised, "hello." She smiled. "Were you looking for us?"

The boys took in the appearance of the girls. They were holding bags and towels, and their hair were wet.

"Yea…" Subaru commented. "Where did you go?"

"To the bath!" Yume shouted in response.

"Oh! Sorry then." Subaru said, feeling his face get hot. "We'll let you go." He waved his over his shoulder, signaling to the other guys that they would go.

Yozora stopped him. "Actually, we were going to go downstairs to check out the entertainment that's happening. Why don't you join us?"

Subaru hummed. "Sure, that's sounds like a good idea."

Yozora smiled. "Okay! We'll meet you downstairs after we drop our things off."

Subaru nodded and the group parted ways. The boys went to the elevator to go downstairs and the girls stopped at their room to leave their bags and towels.

When the girls went downstairs again, they met the boys waiting at a table.

Yozora grabbed Asahi and Mahiru and the three of them took a seat at their own table. The rest of the girls sat at their own table and the boys sat at another beside them.

They had a short play, a few singers, and a magic show, all while serving food.

After the show, everyone agreed to head back to their rooms for the night.
