Aikatsu Start!

Season 2 episode 8

Rotasu: A new year and a new future! Rotasu Awadatsu is entering the stage again!

---

The episode begins with Rotasu and her friends gathered in a cozy corner of the Saku Academy courtyard. The autumn leaves are starting to fall, creating a picturesque scene. The girls are talking excitedly about the upcoming plans for their day off when they suddenly remember their old friend from the other world.

Rotasu: (excitedly) Hey, everyone! It's been a while since we visited Momoki in the other world. What do you say we go check in on her?

Flora: (nodding) That sounds like a great idea. I wonder if she’s discovered anything new about the box.

Nini: (grinning) Plus, it’s always fun to see what’s going on in the other world. Who knows what kind of surprises are waiting for us!

Kabe: (thoughtfully) I’ve been curious too. Maybe there are some new friends we haven’t met yet.

Aika: (clapping her hands) Then it’s settled! Let’s head over there after class.

Cut to the girls standing in front of the magic box in a secret room of the academy, a faint glow emanating from its lid. They hold hands, taking a deep breath, and step through the portal together. The scenery changes, and they find themselves in the familiar mystical landscape of the other world, greeted by the Gatemistress Momoki.

Gatemistress Momoki: (beaming) Welcome back, everyone! It’s so good to see you all again.

Rotasu: (smiling) We’ve missed you, Momoki! How have things been here?

Gatemistress Momoki: (laughs lightly) Oh, you know, the usual. Keeping things in balance, watching over the gates... But, actually, there’s something new I’ve been meaning to tell you.

Suddenly, a shy figure peeks out from behind Momoki. It’s Musette, a young gatemistress with long, flowing hair in twintails and bright, curious eyes. She appears a bit nervous but steps forward with determination.

Gatemistress Momoki: (gesturing to Musette) This is Musette. She’s another gatemistress from this world, and she’s been quite eager to meet you.

Gatemistress Musette: (shyly, but with enthusiasm) H-Hello! I’m Miss Musette!

Rotasu: (chuckling) It’s nice to meet you, Musette! So, what brings you here?

Gatemistress Musette: (nervously fiddling with her hands) Well, I’ve always admired idols and how you perform on stage. The way you all sing and dance is so beautiful. I… I want to become an idol too, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. All I can do is… make bubble-type shows.

Flora: (encouragingly) That sounds wonderful! Every idol has to start somewhere, and it’s okay to begin with what you’re comfortable with.

Gatemistress Musette: (eyes sparkling) You really think so? But I’ve never seen anything like your performances. It’s all so… different from what I’m used to.

Aika: (smiling warmly) It’s okay to be different, Musette. What matters most is expressing yourself and bringing joy to others.

The girls encourage Musette, sharing stories about their own journeys and the challenges they've faced. Slowly, Musette’s nerves begin to ease, and she smiles at the thought of trying something new.

Gatemistress Musette: (inspired) Thank you, everyone. I feel a little braver now. Maybe I can start small and work my way up.

Momoki: (placing a hand on Musette’s shoulder) You’ve got this, Musette. And you know I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Back in the Saku Academy world, the girls decide to help Musette with her first step into the idol world by arranging a small, informal showcase in the academy's garden. It’s a sunny afternoon, and a few students and staff gather around, curious about the new face.

Rotasu: (whispering to Musette) Just remember, you’re here to have fun and share a piece of your world with us.

Gatemistress Musette: (nodding, taking a deep breath) Right… Miss Musette’s going!

The showcase begins. Musette starts by conjuring beautiful, iridescent bubbles that float around her, reflecting the sunlight and creating a magical, dreamy atmosphere. Then, she begins to sing a soft, melodious tune that complements the gentle movements of the bubbles. The audience is captivated by the unique performance, mesmerized by the blend of magic and music.

As she continues, Musette grows more confident, moving gracefully among the bubbles, her voice growing stronger. The audience cheers, and she finishes her performance with a radiant smile.

Flora: (clapping enthusiastically) That was amazing, Musette! You have a talent for creating such a magical atmosphere.

Kabe: (nodding) Your performance was so unique. I’ve never seen anything like it!

Gatemistress Musette: (blushing, happy tears in her eyes) Thank you! I didn’t think I could do it, but… I’m glad I tried.

The episode ends with Musette feeling proud of herself for taking the first step towards becoming an idol, and the girls excited to see how she will grow. As they all stand together in the garden, watching the last of the bubbles drift away in the breeze, they reflect on the power of support and believing in oneself.

Rotasu: (thoughtfully) You know, I think this is just the beginning for Musette… and for all of us. There’s still so much we can learn and so many dreams to chase.

Gatemistress Musette: (smiling brightly) I can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thank you all for giving me this chance.

The scene fades out as the girls laugh and chat, the camera panning up to the clear, blue sky filled with shimmering bubbles, a symbol of new beginnings and endless possibilities.
