It's finally the day of the Twin Seed Festival, the rides, attractions, and other places are officially open, and the talent show for the Dream Games is going to be starting tonight. Back in Claris' house, she and Hope are all ready to go and are waiting for Elliot and the others. However, there is one little problem. After Claris is off the phone with Helen, she explains to Hope what happened.

"What? Helen lost her voice?" Hope asks, surprised.

Claris nods her head, "Yes. Helen just had a bit of a cold and lost her voice. She will be fine by tonight so she is able to use her violin, but she isn't able to sing."

"I see. I hope she'll feel better soon," Hope says.

"Me too. She won't be able to join us for the Twin Seed Festival, but she'll be able to perform with us tonight," Claris says.

"That's good to hear. Maybe we can visit her, and maybe get her a little something from the festival," Hope says.

"Great idea," Claris says with a smile.

Hope asks, "Claris, you don't mind if we play the song a little before we go. The one you wrote in your music class, and I can play with my flute."

"Sure. I actually also wrote a little more to the song, but we can sing the first few verses," Claris says.

"I like to hear that. Let's get to practicing," Hope says.

Claris giggles as Hope brings out her flute and she holds it in her hand so she can play. Claris takes a deep breath and begins to sing and Hope begins to play her flute to make lovely music.

Claris:

Omoi

(Our feelings)

Negai

(Our wishes)

Yozora wo kakeru

(They're flying in the sky)

Kimochi todoki

(May our feelings reach...)

Kokoro wa hitotsu

(And our hearts become one)

Hope then plays a small tune on her flute. She is sitting on the hair with her leg sitting on the other Claris becomes curious about Hope's appearance like she has seen her somewhere before, but isn't sure what. Claris then decides to continue singing as Hope continues to play the flute.

Claris:

Hoshi wa hikari

(The stars are shining...)

Min'na wo terasu

(And light is everyone...)

Claris and Hope turn to each other and smile at each other.

Later on, Claris and Hope are at the festival and joined by Elliot and Will. They are able to have fun at the festival. They ride on fantastic rides like roller coasters, bumper cars, and other fun rides that go fast, slow, zig-zags and more. They also play a few games and win some prizes. Hope also wins a stuffed dolphin.

After going on the fun rides, they head to the food court and have a bite to eat.

"That was fun, but I wish Helen could have joined us," Will says.

"Me too, but Helen has a little cold and she is staying in the hotel. So we're going to visit her," Hope says.

"Sounds like a good idea," Will says.
