It is just after sunset in Gardenia and the waning light of the sun has made way for the twilight of night. The city light's beam high into the dark heavens, drowning the glow generated by the stars whilst the moon shines bright in the darkness. Over on a beach, a sign "Frutti Music Bar" lights up the gloom with warm colours of orange, red, pink and coral, a space where anyone can enjoy themselves by the beachside. It adorns a tropical-themed beachhouse-style building. The front entrance possesses a big, square-shaped carpet with poles on each side, holding lanterns, complete with a half oval entrance-esque structure with purple curtains tied off on either side. Above it, a triangular rooftop greetings guests.

Around the outside of the area, palm trees and sand complete the outer exterior of the place. To the left and right sides, there are two ships retrofitted as outdoor areas where people can enjoy themselves. The larger one, to the right, has an outdoor patio, complete with tables and chairs. The smaller one has the same thing, only a bit more limited. Behind the smaller ship, an outdoor stage is present where all can enjoy music shows performed by local bands. The waves lap gently onshore and the wind is nonexistent, giving the area a nice tranquil look to it all.

Little do those are at the Frutti Music Bar will know how much of a place this will have for a larger conflict that extends far beyond Earth, to the greater Magic Universe and to what is called "The Branch Dimension."

*first music track ends*

Musa is sweating, but is ready to give the performance one last shot. Three boys are playing the instruments behind her. Her long dark hair sways back and forth like a mane carried forward by its beauty and power. Her hand on the microphone is feeling sweatier by the minute, but she presses onward. She wears a black leather jacket with pink jeans and red t-shirt. She is wearing a Victorian style choker on her neck and on her left arm, she wears coral-colored bracelets, two big and one medium sized.

A black haired young man is handling the guitar, another with the drums, another with the bass. At last, Musa belts out the last line of the song. The lights from the stage flicker and dance as if the song itself is an enchanting spell. The audience cheers loudly as the song finishes.

At the front of the line, five other girls are cheering particularly loud for Musa. At the center, a beautiful orange-hair girl with blue eyes, slightly tanned fair skinned wearing a blue shirt and yellow pants is seen cheering. On her right shoulder, a name tag is attached: BLOOM.

To Bloom's left, a girl with long blonde hair and a beautiful magente dress with blue highlights and high heels is seen dancing to the tune with a big smile on her face. Her eyes are golden-amber in colour and her complexion is, well, like that of a princess. She also has name tag: STELLA.

Past Stella, we see a young lady also dancing her heart out with a smile. She has tanned skinned and lightish brown hair with two side bands extending down to her cheeks. Each bang has a light sandy tan tone to them and she has beautiful forest green eyes. She is wearing a summer dress with yellowish flower designs on them. On her left arm, there is an elbowband with a Hawaiian style flower adorning it. She is wearing elegant sandals with leaf-inspired patterns and designs. Her name tag reads "FLORA."

Finally we see the two last girls. One has short pink hair with a sunhat on her head, is wearing jeans with sandals and a croptop to boot. She has dark blue eyes and is wearing a bracelet on her right hand wrist. Her name tags reads "TECNA."

Beside her is a beautiful young lady with dark skin, medium-brown complexion with long, curly hair coloured mahogany brown and with cerulean eyes and full lips painted with pink lipstick. She is wearing a pinkish crop-top and jean skirt with a blue headband. Her name tag reads "AISHA."
