"Wow. Ichijoji-Kun is amazing. All the demonstrations were beautiful. I'm so glad I got into Hoshinomori." Kohana kept blabbing on to Juri and y/n.

"Well, that makes one of us. Remember, I won't be doing a demonstration of my magic art." Y/n was poking Kohana's forehead with each word that came out.

"Aigasaki Kohana and Aigasaki Y/n. You both are next week."

"Eehhhhhh. That's too soon."

"Is it possible for me to take a zero on the demonstration?" Y/n asked and it shocked the students around her.

"Sure, but that means you'll be suspended from the Art session of the festival," Masana-sensei stated while closing his book.

"That's fi-" y/n was cut off by Kohana covering her mouth. "She's just joking, she'll be doing the demonstration as well." Y/n licked Kohana's hand off of her mouth and started she still wouldn't do the demonstration.

Kohana was chosen as the vice-chairman and y/n was chosen as the treasury. Both the girls were excused from their committee responsibilities to practice for their demonstration.

Kohana's POV

Everyone's so talented and they expect so much from me. I can't let them down, I can't let mom and y/n down. Especially y/n, she can't feel like I'm a burden. I have to show that I belong here, I have to follow in my mom's footsteps.

Next-Day (Third Person POV)

Kohana was setting up for her demonstration while y/n watched over her. Juri wished good luck to both the girls and headed to watch the other demonstrations that were being held. "You should also get ready, n/n."

"Why? I'm not doing a demonstration, and besides, I'm watching you do yours." chewing on a strawberry pocky from her pouch.

"Well, I need to get the final touch so, watch over my stuff."

Your POV

I could see that Kohana was excepting too much from herself. As all the other students were disappointed in the demonstration, Kohana just stood there.

"Hey, let's go Hana-Chan. You did good, it was exactly how mom made it." I patted her shoulder seeing how she was about to cry.

"I don't understand what I did what. I-I did everything right. W-why didn't it work? And, why didn't you demonstrate? I already told teacher you would." She whimpers out.

"Hana-chan, there is no one here so go ahead and cry. You can cry on my shoulder just keep your snot in. Besides, I'm only here for you so I don't need to prove I belong here."

"Thanks, n/n. I j-just wish I was a-as talented as y-you. I me-mean you always know what t-to say and have it all together."

"I got a song for you, sis."

Third-person POV

As y/n was singing, stars sparkles were flying everywhere. Y/n didn't even know it but she started dancing (Y/n hates dancing because of her family). Students who were trying to get where they needed to stop to admire the singer/dancer. Even Masana-sensei was able to watch y/n.

Y/n finished and looked up to see her sparkles. She smiled as the sparkles were still visible and flew higher to meet the real stars. A tear escaped y/n's beautiful (e/c) eyes. I missed this feeling of performing.

"See mom's watching from above so we have to show her what we're made of." Y/n walked over to Kohana who was crying tears of joy. Y/n put her hands on Kohana's face, "Don't change yourself just to get someone to appreciate you. Being you is the greatest achievement you can have. Now, I'll clean up and you go ask for a redo on your demonstration."

With Kohana gone and y/n was almost done, Suminomiya approached you. "That was lovely singing, y/n-san. You looked so happy dancing, I was mesmerized."

"Thanks but I retired from all those things. The only reason I did it was to cheer up Hana-Chan. I'm not like you guys, I don't do it because I want to be recognized or I like it. I do it because it was my only sense of survival. Anyways, see you around." I used to love it but I don't know anymore.

Y/n walked away with regret thinking Suminomiya thought she was too blunt or rude.

Suminomiya wanted y/n to depend on him, even if they haven't known each other for that long. He wanted to bring back the smile he saw when she was dancing earlier.

Time skip

"Juri said that you haven't come back so I thought you'd be here. Are you still figuring out what you're missing?"

"I figured it out n/n, with Teika-Kun and Aio-Kun's help of course. I want to make a flower arrangement with my heart. Can you do the flower arrangement with me?" Hana-Chan giving you the puppy eyes and you knew you couldn't say no.

"Fine, but only because I'm already here." You guys started putting the arrangements together.

I want everyone to feel the way I feel when I see their sparkles. Kohana thought to herself as she was almost done and waiting for y/n. They were going to enter the final piece to the arrangements at the same time.

I want to feel like I, myself, matters more than what I can do. I don't want to be treated a like a second option. Y/n thought with her eyes closed and opened to tell Kohana she is ready. They put in their final piece for the arrangements and a tree stump came out.

Everyone was able to see that a Sakura tree was formed. Y/n thinks it was all Kohana's ability because y/n's magic level wasn't that strong. Y/n was happy though because Kohana would've finally found a place that she belonged in. Unknown to the girls Masana-sensei watched it all. From when y/n was cheering Kohana up to the final piece being inserted.

You have two amazing daughters, Aigasaki Sakura. Masana-sensei closed the door on the two hugging girls. And began to walk to his office. I wonder what the future has a plan for them.
