I want to shine!

Our ticket into the future!

"Talia, get this: I designed some totally cute outfits for us last night! Check them out!" Wesley said.

She pulled out her sticker laden sketchbook and opened it up to a colorful page. There were 3 alternate designs, although they were all equally cute and frilly. All 3 of them had one theme in common: one was blue, the other was yellowish-orange.

"So cute, zuraaa! They look so sparkly, did you really design these yourself?" Talia asked, as her sparkling eyes gazed at the artwork.

"Mhm! With help from Winston and my moms of course. You could say they guided me in the right direction, but we all know who the real genius is here." Wesley proclaimed while pointing to herself.

That was wrong. Winston had figuratively ripped her designs to shreds, and changed them completely. His mother was less blunt, but still helped in the multiple redesigns. Wesley had never felt more disgraced in her entire life. 

"Let's see...we have outfits down, now all we need is a group name, songs, music, choreography, and...more members. Once we get Yuriko to join us, we'll be a perfect trio! Honoka-senpai would be so proud of me..." Wesley said, dreamily.

The bell that signified class was beginning rang, and Wesley hurriedly put away her sketchbook. She saw Yuriko walk into the classroom, with her luscious light brown hair tied up into a high ponytail. She daintily took her seat at her desk. Wesley stared at her longingly, her hands resting on her cheeks. Wesley counted the seconds and minutes until class ended, she couldn't wait to have Yuriko alone, so she could formally ask her to join their school idol club. In her head, she imagined it going quite smoothly. They would become a power trio, name their group, and seito kaichou would approve of their club! Right...?

                                                                                              ~

"I-I told you already, I have no interest of being a school idol! I...I don't know anything about idols, I will never be one!" Yuriko protested.

"But you're so cute, you have to be an idol! Just give it a try, pleeease?" Wesley pleaded to Yuriko.

"I don't even know your name!" 

"It's Wesley! Now that we've been properly acquainted, will you become a school idol with us?"

"Can you please get off of my back first?! You tackled me and pinned me to the ground!"

Wesley fulfilled her request. "Sorry! I was afraid you would run away, and we really want you to join! Back me up Talia!"

Talia wailed. "S-stop putting me in the middle of this! But...it's true, Wesley really wants you to join...oh, and so do I, zura!" she proceeded to bow.

Yuriko got up, dusted off her uniform, and made a mad dash for it, frantically running across the school's courtyard.

Before beginning the chase, Wesley had an epiphany. 

"Her speed...her stamina...only an idol has that much endurance! We have to catch her, and find out her secret! Onwards, Talia!" Wesley ordered.

"Aye aye, zura!" 

The two began chasing after their target, who had gotten quite the head start.

Panting, Yuriko slumped down behind the main building. "Whew...I don't think they'll find me here-"

"We've got you!" her tormentor exclaimed.
