(The Next Morning...)

"Milady! Are you all ready to go?" Miriam asked. "Hai! I'm coming down!" I replied from upstairs. I came down the spiral staircase with my stroller bag.

"Now, we're all ready. Before I goI just wanted to say goodbye to..."

"Onee-chan! You're so cute!"

Eden suddenly came rushing for a hug.

"Eden! You surprised me just now." I giggled. "Well, I just wanted to see you before you leave." She grinned. Miriam started sniffling. "Eh? Why is Miriam-chan crying?" Eden asked.

"It's just that I'll be letting go of Ayaka-sama. She's grown, indeed." She smiled in between tears. "Don't worry. When it's off time I'll visit. I gave a closed-eyed smile.

It was a silent ride to Starlight. Until...

"Waah! It's Starlight! I never expected it to be so big!" I said to myself. I slowly walked to the entrance gate, took a deep breath and said, "I can feel the flowers of beginning bloom!"

I was just in time for opening ceremony. After that, I went straight to the Headmistress' office.

I found it and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

I did as she told me. When I went inside, my eyes widened. "Hime from Masquerade?!" I blurted out. She laughed. I get the same reactions from first-years."

"Anyway, I just wanted to say congratulations on your admission here. So I wanted to give you these." She paused as she brought out a small tray.

"Uwaah~!"

"The cards you used for your audition, a Starlight Identification Pass and an Aikatsu Phone Look." Headmistress Orihime said.

"Oh and by the way, I was surprised when I saw you do a Special Appeal. Especially with the Good Coord you've selected." She added. "I was pretty surprised as well." I blushed.

"Now you should now head out to your room to meet your new roommate." She smiled. "Okay. Thanks again." I said and left quietly.

Soon I found my room. "Room 227. I'm coming in!" I said. When I came inside, I saw a white-haired girl with blue eyes.

"Oh, you must be my new roommate! K-Konichiwa! I'm S-Seiza Kagayaku. B-but you can c-call me Aisu..." She said softly.

"My name's Ayaka Miyoko. Nice to m-meet you. Eh?" I got startled once Aisu was staring at me with curiosity. "Wow. You seem nice. I guess the reason why the Headmistress chose you 'cause you look like you have potential. Especially your burgundy hair and olive eyes. They'll notice you easily with them." She smiled.

"Arigato. Anyway, let's get to class?" I asked. "Sure. Let's go!" Aisu said.

"Ohayo. I'll be your homeroom teacher, Naoto Suzukawa. I hope we get along." He greeted the class in a normal way.

"Eh?! It's Naoto Suzukawa! From More Than True!" Aisu whispered quietly.

"Now, I have your first task. You will have to do your best. Because you will pick a partner and whoever wins will be in the cover of the Starlight Academy Directory." He announced.

"Aisu, l-let's be partners!" I said. "Sure! We'll train after class!" Aisu smiled.

After class, we went to change into our track suits. "Uwaah! You're a cute-type too? I never knew my roommate will be the same type as me!" Aisu exclaimed. 

Then we went to the practice room. "Woah. This place is cool." I said. "So this is like an introduction and practice. We get to know each other better if we show off how we perform." Aisu said. "Good idea." I gave a thumbs up."Ayaka-chan, you go first!" She said.

"Eh? Alright." I said.

Aisu took care of the beat and countings.

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8!  8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1!"

"Nice dancing style! Now, let's get to business!"

We practiced for quite some time then finally we got to take a break. "Ne, Aisu-chan. Let's do our best in the show tomorrow!" I winked. "That's what I was gonna say! Did you just read my mind?" She laughed. Then both of us ended up laughing.

(The Next Day)

"Aisu-chan, can I take a look at your coord?" I asked. "Sure. Here." She handed i out for me to look at it.

"This is..."

"Brown Parade Top, Hot Pink Parade Bottom, and blue shoes? So you chose a Good Coord for your entrance audition, too!" I said. "I see. You have a Lime Parade Top, Apricot Parade Bottom and Gray boots. Suteki! Now, let's do our best!"

"Here's to our first live together!"

We came to the fitting room, and put the cards in their proper places. Then the fitting room lit up and as we entered, the coord was put on one by one. We did our idol poses.

We sang "Let's Aikatsu!"

(Aisu-Bold Ayaka-Italics None-Both)

  Kimi ni smile ashita ni yume
Aikatsu shiyo Ready Go!!

(1・2・3 Go!)

Hiroi sora no shita ja chīsana watashi dakeredo
Yume wa ōkiku susumu beki idol
Zenryoku de hashiru yo egao wo todoketai kara
Kimi ga sekai no sumi ni ita toshitatte


Don'na chikamichi yori mo
Shinjiteru dekoboko no jibun no michi wo yukou
Mukaikaze ya arashi ni makenai zettai ni!
Se-no de dash
(It's All Right☆)

Light filled up the stage and both of us did the Cute Flash special appeal.


Uta wo (todoketai) Egao (todoku made)
Heart no chime narashite (Tewatasu yo)
Kimi ni smile ashita ni yume
Aikatsu shiyo Ready Go!!  

"It's now time to announce the winners of this School Directory Live! And the winner!"





"Ayaka Miyoko and Seiza Kagayaku!"

"Yatta!" We exclaimed. I would definitely remember this day. When I first met Aisu and how we did an amazing first live together.


~Up Next Time~

Aisu: Uwaah~! Pop'n Popcorn Auditions are up!

Ayaka: Hontoni?! Look, Aisu-chan! That girl's very cute!

Aisu: Yeah. Pink hair. Teal eyes. I guess she has a cheerful personality!

Ayaka: Eh? I heard she's not that easy to talk to... She has quite a temper.

Girl: Springtime... At least this is the time for me to forget all those thoughts...

Ayaka: Wait! What do you mean?!
