Something fishy was happening within Four Star Academy's most elite members' households.

S4 of the female division of the academy and M4 of the male division of the academy.

Unlike all the other generations of these top stars, this class had something that none of the others had.

~0~

Asahi firmly placed the light pink baseball cap over his blond hair. He glanced around the corner. He frowned as he spotted all three of the members in his group, lounging on the couches, each doing their own thing.

He grumbled, but this was the only way out. With a quick pulse of determination, he stepped out and quietly paced forward.

"Where are you going, Asahi?"

Asahi froze and frowned. He was half way through the room. He spun around, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "Nowhere!" He laughed off the question from Nozomu.

"Oh?" Subaru asked this time. "Then why are you dressed up?"

"Dressed up?" Asahi repeated. "I'm not dressed up!" He played off.

"By 'dressed up', I believe he means, why are you in disguise?" Kanata quipped.

Asahi let out an exaggerated groan. He moved forward and fell back onto a spot on the couch. Once Kanata was onto him, it was over. "Fine!" He cried, catching sight of Kanata's pleased smirk. "The truth is," Asahi said sitting up straighter, "I'm meeting up with Yozora."

Subaru rolled his eyes. "That's not a big deal."

"There's more to this." Kanata stated simply.

Asahi grinned, pointing a finger at him. "Yup! It's my little sister Mahiru's birthday today!"

"A birthday, huh?" Nozomu said.

Asahi nodded, then gasped. "Hey! Why don't you guys join me?"

"Huh?" Subaru asked. "Where are you going?"

"Yozora and I are going to go order a cake for her!" Asahi answered. "Then we need to find some things to do…"

"You guys have no plan other than cake?" Subaru interrogated.

Asahi laughed nervously.

"Honestly," Subaru sighed, "Yozora seems almost as bad as you."

Asahi frowned.

Subaru stood up before he could reply. "So, I guess we have no other choice, but to help."

Asahi brightened. "Alright!"

Kanata and Nozomu followed Subaru.

"Hurry up and change, I'll let Yozora know!" Asahi called as they walked away to get ready.

While the boys changed, Asahi texted his sister about the addition to their plans… their only plan.

Meanwhile, in the early hours of the day, a long red haired beauty stepped down the hallway of a large dormitory.

Stopping in front of a door, the young lady knocked. A few moments later, the door opened, to reveal a disheveled blonde girl.

"Yozora?" Yume asked, running her eyes. "What's going on?"

Yozora smiled. "I need your help, Yume."

Yume's eyes widened, but then she nodded eagerly. "Yea, of course!"

Yozora smiled. "Today is Mahiru's birthday!"

Yume gasped.

"And, as her big sister, Asahi and I decided to give her a small surprise." Yozora explained. "Would you help?"

Yume nodded happily. "Of course!"

"Thank you," Yozora said. "Will you call Laura and Ako for me? And then meet with me outside in front of school?"

Yume nodded. "Yes ma'am!" She saluted. "I'll be quick!"

Yozora smiled happily. "Thank you. I have some things I need to do before, so I'll see you."

"You can count on us, Yozora!" Yume proclaimed, then shut the door as Yozora walked away.

Yume quickly threw on some garb and ran to get Laura and Ako.

Yozora, on the other hand, was intent on meeting with Headmaster Morohoshi about a spot to have a small get together.

~0~

Yume, Laura, and Ako were out in front of the school, awaiting the arrival of Yozora. It was still dark at seven in the morning, but the sun would be rising soon.

"Honestly," Ako said. "I can't believe that girl. She didn't even tell us!"

Laura shrugged. "I'm surprised too."

Ako huffed. "I could have made a wonderful gift, yet now I'll be scrambling to figure something out."

Yume laughed nervously, then spotted a figure out in the distance. "Ah, it's Yozora!"

It was, and she approached them.

"Thank you for gathering," Yozora said.

"No problem!" Yume replied.

"It's for Mahiru, after all." Laura added.

Yozora smiled. "We have to wait for Asahi. He's coming soon." She informed. "Sorry to have you girls waiting."

The girls nodded.

"It's okay." Yume said.

They elapsed into silence until they noticed a few figures down the path, approaching them.

"Is that… M4?" Laura wondered.

Yume glanced at Yozora. "I though only Asahi was coming?"

Yozora smiled. "He managed to get us some more help."

Ako jumped in surprise. She would make sure she could spend time with Subaru!

Asahi waved as he came closer. "Big sis! Hey!"

"Hello, Asahi!" Yozora returned. "Hello everyone."

"What's up?" Subaru asked.

Yozora clasped her hands. "Well, today is Mahiru's birthday. Asahi and I wanted to have a small get together with all of us."

Laura nodded. "So what's the plan?"

"Well first, we are going to go to the bakery to order the cake! After that, we'll split into groups to get different things!" Yozora explained.

Everyone nodded.

Ako smiled happily. She had a chance to go with Subaru! This would be perfect!

"Okay," Yozora continued. "Now, let's go to the Rainbow Confectionery."

Yume gasped. "My parent's bakery?"

Asahi grinned. "Yup! Mahiru will love one of their cakes!"

Yozora smiled sweetly. "Plus, this will give us a chance to get something as well."

Yume cheered. "Alright! I'll lead the way, everyone!"

~0~

After about 45 minutes of traveling, the group of teens arrived in front of a small shop. A large colorful sign stood above the doorway with the message 'Rainbow Confectionery'.

Yume smiled brightly, and check the time on her watch. It was 7:53 in the morning. She hummed, a slight frown on her face.

"What's wrong?" Laura asked, noticing.

Yume shook her head. "We don't open until eight. But it's okay, mama and papa should be downstairs!"

She stepped forward, rapping her knuckles on the wooden door.

Taking a step back for space, the door soon opened.

"Hello?" A sweet voice called out.

"Mama!" Yume called, jumping forward.

The woman, who was about as tall as Yume with short honey blonde hair and bright blue eyes dressed in a beret and chef's shirt, was tackled by Yume in a hug.

"Yume dear!" She cried. "What are you doing here?"

Yume smiled at her. "We need a cake!"

"Well then, come on in." The woman let the whole group inside. "My, my, Yume. You certainly brought a large group today." She saw Laura and Ako. "Hello girls, it's nice to see you again."

Laura and Ako bowed. "Thank you ma'am. It's nice to see you, too."

Before the others greet themselves, a man with a tall hat entered the lobby of the bakery. "What's going on?"

"Papa!" Yume cried happily.

"Yume?" Her dad asked surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"It's my friend's birthday, and we wanted to get a cake!" Yume explained.

Masaru grinned and patted Yume's head. "Well you came to the right place!"

Yume laughed.

Yozora stepped forward. "Hello Mister and Missus Nijino. I am Yozora Kasumi of S4." She bowed.

Masaru and Kyoko smiled. "It's nice to meet you, young lady."

Asahi spoke next. "My name is Asahi Kasumi. These are my unit mates of M4," he directed to the boys. "Nozomu Igarashi, Kanata Kira, and Subaru Yuki."

Masaru smiled. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, everyone."

Kyoko nodded. "So who needs the cake?"

Yozora and Asahi stepped up. "We do."

Kyoko smiled. "Okay, let's get an order sheet out." She motioned for them to follow her to the end of the counter where they could plan out the dessert."

Nozomu smiled at Masaru. "You have a lovely bakery, sir."

"Thank you, young man." Masaru responded. "I have to go get prepared for the day, but why don't you all take a seat?"

Yume jumped up. "Let me help, papa!"

He glanced at her seriously, then broke out into a grin. "Alright, come on!"

Yume cheered, and quickly rushed to the back.

Laura and Ako smiled. "May we give a hand as well?" Laura asked.

Masaru nodded. "Sure! Thank you!"

The two girls followed after Yume to the inside of the bakery.

Subaru lifted a hand and was about to call out; he wanted to help too.

"Okay guys," Yozora suddenly spoke from behind. "We have to plan some things out."

Subaru turned around with the others, slightly disappointed. "Okay." He muttered.

Kyoko looked at the group. "I'll bring you all some treats to snack on."

Yozora bowed. "Thank you very much."

Kyoko smiled and went into the back of the bakery.

Yozora moved to sit down at a table, M4 slowly following her. She looked at them. "We need a few things for this. First of all, we are celebrating in the gazebo on the school grounds." They nodded, understandingly. "So, we will need to divide to get decorations, food, and gifts." She continued. "Asahi and I will get her a gift." Yozora smiled. "And the rest I'll say when the girls get back."

M4 nodded and sat back to look around the bakery, while they waited the rest of the team to arrive.

Has anyone played Aikatsu Photo on Stage? I got it recently... and it's so awesome! Ahhh! I really want the Stars girls, but I'm still a beginner... I got a bunch of the side characters from the show, though, and I love them hehe. I honestly don't like many of the original Aikatsu girls... -_-

Hope you liked it! Leave a review, thanks!
