So... It's pride month. So it's time for the ending of this! (It's not really the ending. There's still the epilogue) Also, I'm gonna fix a typo in the previous chapter. So yeah! Let's go! Habatakou! Chouten no Yume e to!


The next day, Maya and Neru walked into the break room. "Oh, it's Oya-san." Chisato said. "Maya-chan!" Aya said, "Who's this?" "The name's Neru Oya. Nice to meet ya!" Maya looked around, but it seems that Pastel*Palettes was missing one member. "Huh? Where's Eve?" "I don't know." Chisato said, "She's not usually this late." "It's okay." said Neru, "She knows already, so we don't need to tell her." Aya and Hina looked at Neru with confused faces, but Chisato, unbeknownst to Neru, knows what she is talking about. The five heard the door open and Eve came in. Taking one look at Neru, she looked back at her friends. "There you are, Eve!" Aya said, "Now let's start practice." "Actually, there is something I have to tell you first." Eve said. "I have something to tell you guys too!" Neru said. Chisato looked at Neru, before speaking. "Okay, Oya-san. You go first."

"You all know Maya Yamato, right?" "Obviously." Hina said. "What you see before you isn't who "she" really is." Neru explained, with Chisato's response being an eyeroll. "What are you talking about?!" Aya said. "You see, Aya." Neru said, "Maya Yamato is actually a boy named Mako!" Whatever response Neru was expecting, complete silence was not one of them. "Can you… elaborate?" asked Aya. "Allow me to explain." Chisato said, "Maya is a trans girl." "You knew all along?!" Neru said. "That's right." Maya said, "I'm trans. And a lesbian too." "Gosh! I was starting to wonder whether any of us would come out as anything!" Hina said. "Yes! You go, girl!" Aya said. "You're not mad?" Neru said in surprise. "Of course we're not!" said Hina, "My sister is bi after all." "Maya," Aya began, "No matter what parts you may have, you are always our favourite green idol drummer." Maya smiled, before she noticed Eve, still looking depressed.

Maya looked at Neru. "Neru. I may have loved you when we were kids, but that was before I found out my true identity!" Maya said, "I still like you as a friend, but all those feelings I had back then are long gone. Now…" She grabbed Eve by the arm. "I'm in love with Eve Wakamiya!" Eve blushed. "Maya-chan…" At that moment, Maya pulled Eve forward and kissed her on the lips. If Eve wasn't red then, having her first kiss would definitely make her hot red. Aya and Hina cheered, throwing pink and aquamarine petals. "Do you always keep those on you?" Chisato asked. Once the two lovebirds pulled back from their long and passionate kiss, Eve started to crying tears of joy. "Maya-chan. I love you too! I always have!" "So, can we hear what you have to say, Eve?" Hina asked. "Forget it." Eve simply said. After all, she will continue being the keyboardist of Pastel*Palettes. Maya looked around for Neru, but she was nowhere to be seen. "Hey, where did Neru go?" Maya asked. "Don't worry about it. Let's kiss again!"
