"What're you saying?" The actress who played as the main character of the tv series asked Ai, the idol who was playing a supporting role.

Ai played her part as she raised her hand slightly and explained what she meant, "Want me to ask Touma-kun for you?" Her eyes glanced towards the main actress as she held a smile up her face.

"Chotto! Don't even think about it!" The main actress exclaimed. As a reaction to this, Ai laughed and grinned with closed eyes as her hair swished gently. "But aren't you two always together?" Ai asked, continuing her dialogue as the supporting role to the TV series.

The Director, Gotanda Taishi, stood there with his arms crossed on his chest with Sapphire and Aqua by his side. Then, he commented, "Her acting is average... but she really attracts your attention." Gotanda leaned against the wall as he listened to what Aqua and Sapphire were about to say.

"Right?" Sapphire started as Aqua continued the rest of the sentence. "She was talking about that earlier."

[Earlier]

Ai, Miyako and the triplets arrived to their destination as they made their way up to the right floor where the shooting will be. As Ai walked through the hall outside of Class 2-B, she told them, "Up on stage, I need to look kawaii for everyone no matter what angle they view me from," Referring to the shooting she was going to do, Ai formed her index finger and thumb from both hands to form into a rectangular frame. Then, she continued. "But here it's only a single person... I just need the camera to think I'm kawaii. If the same tricks I use for music videos will work, it's right in my wheelhouse."

Gotanda listened to the explanation Aqua and Sapphire gave him before he sighed and came to a small realization, "She thinks of it like a music video... Sign of the times, huh?" From that sentence, Aqua and Sapphire also came to a small realization.

"What?! They're super well-made, so you should really give them a look!" As the no. 1 fans of Ai, they couldn't let this slip. "We'll even lend you the DVDs!" They were about give a full blown explanation and lecture about Ai, however since Gotanda was busy and not that interested, he decided to just stop them. 

"Keep it down, will ya?" Gotanda calmly asked with a lazy tone as he continued to watch the scene in front of him.

[Later]

Time ticked away quicker than Sapphire could think and it was already 9 o'clock. Soon enough, she was back home and truthfully, she felt relieved and glad. She didn't want to be out for too long. As soon as she arrived home, she went to the bathroom to shower immediately, followed by Aqua and Ruby who was showered by Ai.

She wore her outfit; a black hoodie with a small light purple fox on the left corner of the hoodie as her top and baggy black sweatpants as her bottom. Her outfit was unsurprisingly similar to the outfit her siblings wore since Ai chose them as matching outfits. After everyone was cleaned up, they gathered in the living room where the TV sat and soon, they turned the TV on.

Ruby, as usual, sat in the lap of Ai while Aqua and Sapphire sat on either side of her, making sure to give Ai some personal space despite being biological descendants. Cheerfully, Ruby chirped as her legs swung back and forth, "I can't wait to see your performance, Mama!"

With the usual closed eye smile, Ai replied, "Well, they did film me quite a bit." Aqua sat with the both of his hands on top of his knees as his attention was solely focused on the TV screen, waiting for the scene where Ai appeared and play her role . 'Here it comes.' Aqua thought as he and Sapphire leaned forward in anticipation.
