"I'll gladly explain." Leo said as he patted Aira on the head causing Shou to have another mind outbreak.

"We were in the same neighborhood. Actually, our houses were right next to each other. My family always buys from their family's bakery." Leo started. The others looked at him attentively surprisingly even Shou was interested in this childhood story. "We became quick friends, Aira and I. We always played with each other. Mr. Harune was alright with this. Before, Aira wore frilly dresses and such."

"My dad forced me to wear those." Aira said as she flushed red with embarrassment.

Leo laughed at her comment and continued. "We were together since the first days of elementary school. I was always at the top but then one day, a school at America offered me a full scholarship. That happened at the last days of elementary school." Leo sighed. "My mom told me it's a good opportunity since I always wanted to become a scientist. After I finished middle school, I bid farewell to the Harune family and also to my family as well. I always sent letters to them. I already am at college."

"But how? Your age is the same as ours, right?" Shou asked very surprised at the last sentence.

"I told you. I was very smart. I skipped grades. I entered a university at the age of 13. They accepted me but my classes were not that of a regular's. I always had special classes but I still had many friends." Leo replied while rubbing his head.

"Wow. Aira why haven't you mentioned him before?" Mion asked very interested on Aira's response.

"Well, I-I never t-thought that you would be interested." Aira replied while fidgeting. Mion became very suspicious with Aira's state. 'She must be hiding something.' Mion thought. Mion examined Leo very closely but she came on one conclusion. Leo and Aira were going out but Leo doesn't want to disclose this information.

"Hey, you two aren't going out, are you?" Mion asked which surprised the two. Actually, everyone was surprised that Mion asked them so bluntly.

"W-what no." Leo said shaking his head furiously.

"N-n-no. Why would w-we?" Aira replied fidgeting more.

Everyone became suspicious of their behavior. "Well anyway, how did you guys get acquainted?" Leo asked hoping for a change of subject.

"Well because we're all prism stars and we're from the same school." Rizumu replied. Leo sighed with relief because he succeeded to change the topic.

"Oh really. I thought that your dad didn't want you to become one." Leo said as he looked at Aira.

"After some certain events, Aira's dad finally agreed for Aira to become one." Rizumu said.

"Oh, I'm suddenly interested on what happened." Leo said while smiling mischievously.

Rizumu told Leo about what happened. Leo asked questions on how they met Callings and how they became the famous girl group MARs. All six took turns on telling Leo of what happened to them.

After some hours of chatting, they finally finished telling Leo everything that happened.

"Wow. That's a mighty good story if ever this became an anime or something like that." Leo said. "So unbelievable."

"Well, it's getting late. I will take my leave now." Leo said as he stood up.

"Oh hey you're right." Wataru said as he stood up.

"How about we all go visit the Prism Stone Shop first." Shou suggested.

"Sure." Aira said. Everyone nodded.

"Will you be coming Leo?" Hibiki asked.

"I'd love to but I got business to take care of. See you." Leo said as he walked out the shop.
