Rise! Aikatsu Start!

Mirror Mirror: Who Really Is this Gothic Girl?

Ayaka: My Passionate Idol Activities! Rise! My Aikatsu Starts Now!

Aisu and I decided to go for a run in the oval track for a while. "It's a good thing we went for a run, Aisu-chan! I really need more energy!" I smiled.

"Huh?" Kirei suddenly stopped. "Why'd you stop?" I asked. "There's a girl sitting on the grass." She said.

It was true. There was a girl wearing a whitesunhat and patiently reading a book. She had wavy black hair and red eyes (like Ichigo).

"I heard of her somewhere. She's Kali Sarade, correct?" I asked Aisu.

"Hai. Not only that, she comes from a rich family as well." Aisu said.

"Actually, I also heard she's a fan of vampires." I said.

"VAMPIRES?!" Kirei shuddered, almost fainting. "Come on, Kirei-chan. Vampires aren't real." I reassured her. "Yeah, but they suck blood..." She started welling up.

"Don't think about it." Aisu reassured her. Kirei took a deep breath. "Okay! Let's go check her out!" Kirei said.

"Ano... Kali..."

"Nani?" She asked. "Etto... We were just wondering why you're reading here?" I asked. "Reading. I decided to read here for fresh air. I don't really like the sun that much." She explained.

"Ah, no wonder you're wearing a hat." Aisu pointed. "To be honest, I'm not supposed to talk to peculiar people. So I'll go take my leave. Stay away now, or else." She crossed her arms and left.

"What a strange girl, Kali..." I said.

"I never want people who just come near me and just obviously make friends with anyone! Pesky people just wasting my time on friends. Let me just see if anyone would treat me well. Because I am strong even without worthless friends!" Kali thought as she walked away.

We came to the practice room to practice our appeals.

"Ai... Katsu!"

"Ai... Katsu!"

"Cute Flash!"

"Yosh! That was awesome. Jumping on that trampoline was worth the extra time." Aisu said. "Yeah. Wha?" I paused, looking at the plank where models walk on.

"It's Kali!" I exclaimed. "Oh? She's actually training to be a model..." Aisu said. "She's a cool-type too. I'm definitely guessing she likes Loli GoThic for a brand." Kirei added.

"In Johnny-sensei's class, he said that Loli GoThic's designer "claims to be a descendant of Count Dracula." I said, twitching two fingers as quotation.

"Kali!" Aisu called as soon as Kali came down from the modeling plank.

"What do you three want this time? Didn't I tell you to go away or else..."

"Or else what?!" I said, out of rage.

Aisu gasped. "Ayaka-chan..."

"What do you have to say? Or else I'll do something terrible to you? If this is what you plan, I have a question, why do you have to do things like this?" I asked.

"Because! Friends are just worthless and seeing you three annoys me!"

"I once had a friend. She was once a Spicy Ageha user, too. We were also roommates. We did almost everything. Then one day, she told me we could stand atop broadway stage together or maybe have more concerts, but then, she had set out to Yokohama and never came back." She explained.

"Can't you see? Maybe she had reasons why! You should have to learn to expect the unexpected, and learn to accept it. So if you don't get it and want to hurt my friends, then maybe you should mind your own business for a change." I said.

Her eyes widened and she then fell to her knees. "So I've misunderstood... G-Gomenasai, Ayaka, Seiza, Kirei..." She said.

"It's alright." I returned to my normal self. "How about you watch my show as an apology?" Kali asked.

"It's a deal!"

Kali came to the fitting room
And inserted these cards for her school coord.

Green Parade Top
Blue Parade Bottoms
Black Parade Boots

The fitting room opened and she came inside. The coord pieces stuck to her one by one and she finished by swishing her black hair to the side using her hand and smiling fiercely.

She sang "Tarte Tatin."

(Un) Uranatte yo watashi no koi o
(Deux) Kare no koto wo mada shiranai no
(Trois) Amai yokan kasanete shimau

Ippai no ringo
Tarte・Tatin

As we were watching, I was intently observing Kali. "Black Roses and skulls... This is her aura..." I thought.

Ijiwaru suneta yokogao
Yomitorenai mangekyō

Itazura tsumi na tarot
Oshiete nakayoku shitai no

Aisu and I then witnessed her Special appeal. Cool Flash. She glided to form a diamond then went to the center and did a kawaii pose.

Gomen'nasai ne
Shinjite iru no
Omowaseburi wa ki ni natteru kara
Kare wa watashi o suki ni naru

Itsuka wa kitto...

"You were amazing out there, Kali-chan!" Aisu said. "A-Arigato... But, we'll be rivals, too as we grow and grow more to be top idols!" She said determinatively.

"Un!" We all replied.
