Ichika's POV:

Me and my friends grew up on the alien planet where the aliens were taking care of us since we were kids. After the planet was destroyed we were the only ones who stayed alive. They took us here, on their planet, and took care of us since...
Many years have passed since the day they took us here. I'm now 20 and this is the first day of some kind of singing competition that aliens want us to compete in. I'm the first one competing against someone from the others. I don't know who though.
,,Ichi-chan!" I turned around and I saw my best friend Saki.
,,Saki..." I said with a smile.
,,How do you feel, Ichi-chan?" Saki asked. ,,Are you nervous?" I just nodded. I was extremely nervous because I knew that if I would lose that aliens wouldn't leave it normal. They for sure have some plans for what to do to those who lose...
,,Don't worry, Ichi-chan, you can do this!" Saki said. ,,I believe in you!"
,,Thank you, Saki." I smiled.

Minori's POV:

I was scared of this place in the beginning but after that I got used to it and it wasn't that bad. I grew here since I was a kid with the others. Now here I am. 20 years old, forced to compete in singing competition against other of my friends. I'm scared but excited at the same time to be honest...
,,Minori?" I heard. ,,You're alright?"
,,Ah! Uhm, yeah!" I answered my friend Haruka. ,,I was just thinking about the competition..."
,,Don't worry...everything will be just fine...I promise..." Haruka said. ,,You'll win, don't worry."
,,What? I'm not worried! I'm excited!" I said. ,,Singing in front of too many people...it's gonna be so exciting!"
,,I'm happy that you believe in yourself." Haruka smiled. ,,Promise me, you'll be alright..."
,,I promise!" I said. I mean what could possibly happen to me if I would lose? It's just a competition, it's not important to win but to take a chance...right...?

Ichika's POV:

The time has come. It's my turn in the competition. I looked around. There were too many aliens and I could see Saki and the others in the other room, watching me through the window.
,,Saki...Honami...Shiho..." I said quietly. ,,I wanna see y'all again...and that's why...I'll win here...!"

Minori's POV:

Now's the time to go compete! I trained hard and now's my chance to prove it to whoever I'm competing against! When I came on the stage I saw Haruka, Airi and Shizuku behind the window in the other room. I waved to them happily, but they looked worried. I wasn't worried at all, because I knew that it could be fun!
,,I'll win and I'll prove that I'm not weak!" I said quietly. Then I was finally able to see who I'm competing against...

Ichika's POV:

When the other person came on the stage I could clearly see that it was Minori. I was shocked. I'm supposed to be competing against her? How? I can't compete against her! She's too nice to lose!

Minori's POV:

Ichika? I'm supposed to compete against Ichika?! I started to get worried a little but I was still confident! I can win this! I'll show her that I'm not weak!

Ichika's POV:

When we were both ready, the competition started. We both started to sing one song called From Tokyo. I practiced this song so I knew how to sing it. I was confident, but at the same time I was scared of what was going to happen to the one of us who'll lose...

Minori's POV:

As we were ready, we started to sing a song called From Tokyo. I practiced everything even this song so I was ready! I can do it! I can win...!

Ichika's POV:

As the song was slowly coming to the end, I saw that behind us there was a giant board with my and Minori's icon and we were getting points. We had the same points right now but there were still a few seconds till the end...

Minori's POV:

I noticed that Ichika turned around and her eyes widened. So I turned around as well and I saw a board with us and our points. We had the same points... But as the song slowly ended, one of us got one more point. I had 60 points and Ichika had 61. I lost. As I was about to come to Ichika to say congratulations, but...

Ichika's POV:

I had 61 points and Minori had 60. I saw her look at me with a smile, but after that I heard a gun shot and little did I know, Minori was bleeding. She got shot. I knew that aliens wouldn't let the loser go! I knew they were planning something! As Minori slowly fell down dead my eyes filled with tears and my eyes widened. I knew they were planning something but I didn't know that they planned this! After that, the board said: Ichika wins.
I was speechless. When the round ended I quickly rushed to the other room where the others were waiting.
,,Ichika!!!" They yelled as I rushed into the room. They all hugged me tightly.
,,You did it...!" Shiho said. ,,You won...!"
,,Yeah...I did..." I said.
,,So that's...that's what's gonna happen to those that...that loses?" Honami asked.
,,Yeah..." I said.
,,But just one point..." Shiho said. ,,You got lucky but...Minori didn't..."
,,I'm scared...what if now's my turn?" Saki asked.
,,I guess that everyone is scared now..." I said. ,,Good luck, you girls..."
