Despite not having her memories Honoka was able to get the steps to the dances perfectly. She was enjoying her practice time with everyone. She was having so much fun singing and dancing with her friends. She was hoping that this would last forever. Even though she didn't know them very well she was having fun with them. Honoka was starting to feel strange. For some reason it felt like she had done this before but she can't remember when. Every time she tried to remember her head started to hurt and it felt like her head was going to split open every time she had these headaches. She decided to let go of the past and focus on the present for now. Honoka remembered that she was the leader of the idol group but she was in no condition to lead right now. Nico tried to take over as the leader but was instantly rejected and the position was given to Eli.
"Everyone I think we should do a love live show here at the school" Eli said
"Are you sure we're ready to go back on stage?" Kotori asked
"We haven't done one in so long so I thought that now is the perfect time to get back on the stage" Eli said
"Excuse me" Honoka asked
"What is it Honoka?" Eli asked
"What's a love live show?" Honoka asked
"It's a live show where we sing and dance in front on a stage in front of a live audience" Eli answered
Honoka froze when she heard that they would be performing in front of a large number of people. She was starting to feel nervous.
"O-oh I-I s-see" Honoka stuttered
"Honoka are you ok?" Umi asked
"I'm fine" Honoka said
"Are you sure? You can always tell us if something's wrong" Nozomi said
"Don't worry I'm fine" Honoka said
The girls decided to leave Honoka alone. They told the school they would be performing a show at the school. They were excited to hear that Muse would be on stage again. The girls continued to practice their steps on their singing and dancing. Everyone was looking forward to the show. Everyone except for Honoka. Honoka was starting to feel nervous about performing in front of so many people that she didn't know. Honoka wasn't sure if she was ready to on stage and be in front so many people. She was starting to feel the pressure. She was afraid of messing up and ruining their chance of being back on stage.
The other girls noticed that Honoka was started to look nervous. Eli decided to take action and ask her what's wrong.
"Honoka are you okay?" Eli said
"Yes don't worry I'm fine" Honoka said
"Stop lying, just tell us the truth" Umi said
Honoka looked at everyone and saw that everyone was waiting for her to tell them what was making her feel so uneasy.
"I'm nervous about performing in front of so many people that I don't know. I'm afraid that'll I mess up and do something that'll embarrass us" Honoka said
The girls weren't really surprised to hear about Honoka being nervous. She was nervous around all of them since her accident. Since she had amnesia she was shy around them. Kotori tried to reassure her that everything would be fine.
"Don't worry Honoka everything will be just fine, just do your best and have fun" Kotori said
"Just be yourself and everything will be fine, don't worry everything will work out" Umi said
All the girls tried to give her some courage and Honoka was started to feel better about herself.
"Thanks everyone I'll do my best" Honoka said
The girls smiled at her and continued to practice their performance. The day of the live love show came and everyone was in their costumes and were ready to go out on stage to perform in front of their school. Honoka looked out to see the people that were there. She saw thousands of students in front of the stage waiting for them to perform. Honoka froze after seeing the amount people that'll be watching them. The only problem was that she was feeling nervous again. The girls reassured her that everything would be fine but she was started to feel the pressure coming back again. Honoka was even stating to shake. Kotori noticed that Honoka was shaking. She saw that Honoka was starting to feel nervous. She went up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. Honoka jumped and let out a surprised yelp. She lost her balance and fell down. She landed on her butt. Kotori looked down at Honoka with a look of concern.
"Honoka, are you okay?" Kotori asked
"Y-y-yes! I'm fine!" Honoka said
"Honoka, you need to relax" Kotori said
"I can't, there's so many people" Honoka said
"Just don't think about it, just pretend that there's no one there" Kotori said
"I'll try" Honoka said
"That's the spirit" Kotori said
All the girls were on stage and were ready to perform. H
All the girls were on stage and were ready to perform. Honoka was trying to ease her worries but she wasn't very successful. She kept looking at the crowd and saw that they were cheering them. They were expecting them to put on a great show and that put even more pressure on her.
The music started and the girls started to dance. Honoka was the only one who didn't start to dance right away.
"Honoka" Kotori whispered
Honoka heard Kotori's voice and saw that everyone started to dance. Honoka started to dance as well. About half way through the song Honoka was starting to feel more relaxed through the performance. When it was time for the sub units to perform. Kotori took over as the leader of the sub unit that had Kotori, Honoka and Hanayo as a unit. When it was time for them to step forward and perform on the stage. Honoka was feeling nervous again. Honoka was so focused on the crowd in front of her that she didn't realize that she missed a step on her performance. This caused her to fall down. Honoka looked up and saw that the crowd was looking at her with multiple expressions on their faces. Some of them expressed shock while some of them expressed anger or disappointment. Honoka got back up and tried to continue the dance. The crowd shouted at them to get it together. This made Honoka upset. The shouting distracted her and caused her to fall down again.
Honoka performed a step that made her ankle scream in pain. Honoka fell down once again. She tried to get back up as quickly possibly but the pain in her ankle prevented her from doing that. Honoka was able to get back up and started to dance and sing again but her vision started to blur which made her fall again. Honoka started to feel dizzy and hot.
The crowd was starting to get annoyed from the poor performance that Muse was displaying. The song was over and they received mixed results. Some liked and some hated it. Muse felt disappointed that their performance didn't go as well as they thought. They found themselves back in their club room mourning over their poor performance. All of them got distracted from Honoka falling down. They were concerned about their friend. It was obvious that Honoka was still very nervous during the performance. Honoka's sprained ankle caused her to fall over during the performance. Honoka was still recovering from her accident. They thought that she was all better aside from the amnesia. That assumption was big mistake.
"That could've have gone better" Nozomi said
"It was our first live show after a while so we were pressured but don't worry we'll get down next time" Eli said
The other girls nodded their heads in agreement. All the girls heard sniffling, they turned and saw that Honoka was crying. Kotori went over towards Honoka and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Honoka, what's wrong?" Kotori asked
"It's all my fault that our performance didn't go well" Honoka said
The other members tried to tell her that it wasn't her fault at all. Eli stepped forward and reassured her that it was her fault.
"Honoka, it's not your fault at all. It's my fault. I rushed a concert on all of us when we weren't ready to come back on stage yet. You weren't feeling well and yet I pushed you to perform with us. If it's anyone's fault it's mine. I'm sorry Honoka" Eli said
Honoka was still crying. Kotori was hugging her right now. Honoka stopped crying after a while and collapsed on Kotori.
"Honoka? Honoka, are you okay?" Kotori asked
The other girls were starting to get worried so they all came over to check on. They all heard some heavy breathing. Maki kneeled down and put her hand on Honoka's forehead to check her temperature. Her eyes went wide when she felt how hot she felt.
"She burning up and her fever pretty high too" Maki said
The other girl's eyes went wide when they heard that Honoka had fallen ill.
"We need a towel soaked in cold water" Nico said
"I'll get the towel" Hanayo said
The other girls went to the closest house which was Kotori's house. They put Honoka on Kotori's bed. They gathered everything that Honoka needed to get better, all the girls decided to spend the night over at Kotori's house so they could help take care of a sick Honoka.
