Let's do a time skip all the way to the Prism Queen Series… Mary and Takato went back to America because their manager told them to for they needed to continue being a Prism Star after all.

'You guys are going?' Mion asked the two.

'Yeah. We are Prism Stars after all.' Mary replied.

'So that means…' Aira looked at Leo.

'Oh don't worry, I'm not going.' Leo said as he noticed Aira's look. 'I'm not a Prism Star remember?'

'The manager told Kyoko that Leo would be staying in Pretty Top… forever… Or whenever the manager calls him back.' Takato explained.

Leo coughed. 'Forever.' He echoed. 'Gods, that's a long time.'


Back to the present…

"Here guys, I brought you souvenirs." Mion said as she showed the boxes of Australian Manjus and many more.

"Where did you go?" Rizumu asked.

"That's a lot." Hotaru said as he took one.

"So true." Leo said as he grabbed one.

"I went scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef." Mion said with pride. "But wait, what happened to you two?"

"What?" The two asked.

"You really pigged out on New Year's day, didn't you?" Mion asked.

"Ehhh?" The two girls looked at each other. "It's true!"

"I told you that you should've laid back with the eating a bit Rizumu." Hotaru said while shaking his head.

"I pleaded you to not eat too much Aira." Leo said.

"From now on you'll be training for the Prism Queen Cup." Kyoko said.

"Prism Queen Cup?" Aira asked.

"As the name implies, the Prism Queen Cup is the highest honor to be given to a Prism Star. It is the most prestigious tournament in Japan." Jun explained. "To compete you must get outstanding scores in the Prism Queen Series. The winner will be crowned the ultimate Prism Star like President Asechi and Sonata Kanzaki."

"Amazing." Hotaru said.

"You don't know anything about Prism Shows, do you?" Leo asked Hotaru with a sweat drop.

"You could say that." Hotaru replied.

"And to think your sister is a Prism Star." Leo said.

"Wait, the President was a Prism Queen?" Aira asked in surprise. The others were surprised she didn't know about this.

"You didn't know?" Mion asked.

"No." Aira said.

"She may not look like it now but she was incredible back in her younger days." Mion explained almost angrily.

Leo chuckled. "Younger days." He muttered. Next thing he knew, a solid metal thing hit him in the head. "Ow." He rubbed the side of his head.

Kyoko went back to her original stand.

"To win the Prism Queen Cup, you will need to perform the Aurora Rising." Kyoko explained.

"The Aurora Rising?" The girls gasped.

"Without the Aurora Rising, one cannot be a Prism Queen." Kyoko continued.

"And to think you told Rizumu to NOT jump that devastating jump, you tell them this." Aira said.

"Before, the Aurora Rising wasn't a terrifying jump. You need the talent of a Prism Star, as well as the correct training and knowledge." Kyoko explained. "Theoretically, a good costume can make it possible. You'll be fine. You have the talent. To perform it, you have to prepare wedding dresses."

"By winning your past contests, you've obtained some rare stones." Jun said.

"Wait, there must be something better than the Aurora Rising." Mion said. "I admit that's a great jump but there must be something better and I will perform that. I won't let you boss me around."

Kyoko remembered her past. She was like that before, wanting to find something better than the Aurora Rising,

"I knew you'd say that." Kyoko said with a smile. "It will take an extraordinary effort to surpass the Aurora Rising."

"I'll do whatever it takes." Mion said.

"I bet she can do that." Hotaru said.

"We should really stop interrupting them like this." Leo said.

"True." Hotaru agreed.

"I admire your dedication but you are not ready for it." Jun said. "First you must win the Prism Queen Series. You should start off with the New Year's Cup."

"I'm more than ready. I'll win." Mion said.

"Fine. Do as you please." Kyoko said. "Aira, you'll enter the Pure Premium Wedding Cup. Rizumu, I've entered you on the second Winter Cup."

"Only the best in Japan can enter the Pure Premium Wedding Cup." Jun explained. "It is another prestigious competition."

"Wait so Aira is one of the best in Japan." Hotaru whispered to Leo.

"Apparently so." Leo whispered back as if unsure.

"Aira, Rizumu. You'll be working on the special training program that I have personally organized for you." Kyoko said.

"Yes ma'am." Aira said.

"Just wait a minute." Rizumu said. All inside the room looked at her direction. "I want to perform the Aurora Rising that my mom, Sonata Kanzaki, did."

"Rizumu." Mion and Aira said.

"Don't worry, she knows." Rizumu reassured them. "I know how many times you tried to master the Aurora Rising but you could never do it. Not even once."

Flashbacks of Kyoko's failed attempts of jumping the Aurora Rising flashed through her mind.

"I beg of you President. Please tell me where Coach Kei is." Rizumu said.

Kyoko gasped in surprise. Leo's eyes widened and he coughed as if he choked on his own saliva, he hoped that was the reason. Hotaru patted his back.

"I did some research. Kei was the one who taught my mom to do the Aurora Rising. I want for her to teach me it too. You know where she is, don't you?"

"I don't know." Kyoko said as she averted her gaze downward.

"I see. Then I'll find her myself." Rizumu said as she ran outside.

Aira and Mion went after her.

"Is it true? That Sonata Kanzaki is Rizumu's mother?" Jun asked.

"It is very true." Hotaru said. "Sonata is our mother, through and through."

"Sonata Kanzaki has returned to Japan." Kyoko said.

"What?" The three boys inside exclaimed.

"I dare say she coached Chris Kaname in the Crystal High Heel Cup." Kyoko said. "Kaname tried to perform the Aurora Rising.

"Unbelievable." Leo said.

"Coach Kei, huh?" Leo said. "If it matters to you, I would like to accompany her there. I have some… catching up to do with that Coach."

"If I am going to agree with that." Kyoko said.

"Right." Leo said almost sarcastically.


"The New Year Cup is finally starting." The announcer said. "Mion Takamine will make a solo appearance and will be competing against Karina Togashi. Can you feel the excitement in the air?"

"It's finally starting." Leo said as he stood in the backstage waiting for the others to come.

"It's finally Karina Togashi's performance!" The announcer announced as Karina started her performance. "She's wearing the Pure Fresh Wedding Dress."

"Mion, you don't have to watch this." Jun told the blonde beside him.

"Watch closely." Kyoko said. "See what a Prism Queen can do."

"Learn what you can Mion by watching this." Leo said.

Karina glided through the ice and danced so gracefully. She had such a strong aura widely known for being superior from all others. Everyone was watching so intently, amazed by the performance she was giving.

"I expected no less from the Prism Queen! What a wonderful performance!" The announcer said. Her score was shown above her. "And her score 7560. Needless to say, she is currently on the spot of the 1st placer!"

"How amazing." Leo said. "I swear I have to train someone to be as good as her."

"It's time Mion." Kyoko said. Neko-chi jumped on to Jun's shoulder.

"Good luck, Mion." Neko-chi said.

"Mion!" Someone called. Wataru was running towards them.

"Wataru?" Mion asked in surprise.

"Don't you have a live show?" Kyoko asked.

"I snuck out." Wataru explained as he ran towards her. "Are you okay Mion? She's a worthy adversary. Don't push yourself. Just relax."

"Huh? You came here just to say that." Mion said, a hint of pink visible on her face. "You have too much time on your hands."

"There you go again." Wataru said as he pinched Mion's cheeks and stretched it. "You'll be fine. You're not alone. You have Aira, Rizumu and all of us from Callings."

"What? We're not included?" Hotaru asked as he arrived.

"Leo and Hotaru too." Wataru added. He grasped her shoulders. "We'll always be with you. Never forget that." Wataru let go off her. "You'll be fine. Just do what you always do."

"Who do you think you are?" Mion asked angrily. "I won't lose." She grabbed Wataru's hat and pulled it down. "Try again in a hundred billion years." Mion stood up.

"Mion." Wataru said.

"Can it!" Mion stomped away angrily. "Get back to work now!"

"That's my Mion." Wataru mumbled.

"Wataru." Jun started. Wataru looked at him. "Good job." Wataru stuck his tongue out playfully.

"Wataru, Shou and Hibiki want you back. You still have a show to shoot." Leo said as he put his cellphone down.

"Oh, right. Gotta go!" Wataru said as he sped down the hall.

"It's time for Mion Takamine's performance!" The announcer said.

Mion took her place. She started dancing. Her aura was as strong as Karina's, maybe even more. She danced and jumped gracefully.

"She's done it! Mion Takamine's performance was incredible!" The announcer said. "She scored 8260! She's in 1st place!"

Mion went back to be greeted by Karina. "Congratulations." Karina said as she extender her hand. "That was splendid."

"Thank you very much." Mion said as she reached for Karina's hand.

"I should be thanking you." Karina said. "Now I can retire without any regrets."

"Huh?" Mion gasped.

"It's time for you youngsters to shine." Karina said.

"But…" Mion started.

"Please take these." Karina said as she handed Prism Stones.

"What are these?" Mion asked.

"They are Pure Fresh Wedding Dresses." Karina said. "Let's say Asechi gave them to me."

"Are you sure?" Mion asked.

"Of course." Karina said. "In exchange, you had better become a Prism Queen."

"I will." Mion said. Karina began to walk away.

"Asechi, I'm going to get married." She said as she showed a ring on her finger. "Looks like I'm going to wear a real wedding dress before you."

Jun and Leo held back their laughter. Kyoko stomped on Jun's foot and threw a solid, metal thing at Leo.

"Ah, wait Ms. Togashi!" Leo yelled as he recovered.

"Huh?" Karina looked back.

"Congratulations on getting married." Leo said with a smile. "Oh and can you I have your autograph?" Leo asked as he gave her a pen and paper.

"Sure." Karina signed it. "But why?"

"I plan on keeping this as a collection of autographs of the best Prism Stars I've ever seen in my life." Leo said. "Currently, there's about 12 in here from all around the world."

"I hope you can complete that." Karina said.

"I don't think so." Leo said as Karina walked away. "'Cause I think Prism Shows will live forever and there will always be the best."

"Good point." Karina mumbled as she walked away completely.


Mion was now on her flight. Her phone rang.

"Hello?" Mion said.

'Hey Mion, suddenly disappearing like that is not cool.' Leo said on the other side.

"I left a note." Mion replied.

'Yeah. Rizumu and Aira is being told about it now.' Leo pointed out.

"Then how did you know earlier?" Mion asked.

'There must be minimal information that doesn't get past me if it involves MAR's affairs, or Pretty Top at that.' Leo said as if it was natural. 'Hotaru's here too.'

'Hey Mion, do your best out there.' Hotaru said.

"Thanks Hotaru." Mion said.

'Yeah, I expect to see you at the Prism Queen Cup, alright?' Leo said.

"Of course. And I'll win it." Mion said with absolute confidence.

'Good luck and see you soon.' Leo said.

"Thanks, coach." Mion said as she hung up.


"Coach?" Leo smiled. "Never thought I'd hear that from her."

"Totally unexpected." Hotaru said.

Leo nodded. "This is going to be the best Prism Queen Cup ever."
