PriPara: Breakthrough

Lush and Shimmering in the Dawn

"So that's what you meant when you said I was kind of incomplete the first time you saw me perform." I told Kazue.

He nodded. "And I meant to praise you." He whispered.

Meanwhile, a girl was walking through the campus.

"Hm, Iris, been a while. Have to talk to her later somehow..."

(Organization of Year-End School Fest)

"Listen up!"

"We only have until next week to prepare. Each of you have to negotiate with every club president assigned to you."

"And Kazue, almost forgot, you have to go for the Journalism and Broadcasting Group of Clubs."

He dashed to me and whispered in my ear, "Isn't Louisa in the Broadcasting Club? How am I gonna handle that?" He said.

"Don't worry. Plus, someone's gonna back you up, and you'll get to know her." I winked.

"Huh? Back me up?"

"Yes, back you up. Besides, Louisa's on the good side now. You should accept that fact by now." I said.

"Okay, whatever you say." He nodded.

(Meanwhile)

"Alright, people of Paprika, we have to get moving if we're gonna make this a success. Amamiya already informed us that we have a week left, so we gotta move!" Maiko said to the other members of the Dance Club that was in her group. She was the leader, after all.

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8!"

(Kazue's Side)

"Huh, Iris said someone was gonna back me up in here. Seems to me that there's no one who's come to me. She must be lying---"

"Hey, Kazue."

"Oh, it's YOU, Loulou. Better not make a fuss in your own niché, because I might have some fuel to fight back." Kazue crossed his arms.

"Woah, woah, wait. You think I'm gonna ruin your reputation Big Time? I've changed, and I'm sure Iris told you." She said.

"Huh, what kind of 'secret potion' did she make you drink, it's seriously unlike you." He said.

"Aw, come on. Believe me. This is Louisa 2.0 you're talking to here!" She laughed a bit.

"Meh. Anyway, is the club ready with their Festival Activity preps yet?" Kazue asked.

"Oh, yeah. We're basically taking requests of songs on the radio. I'm the Music/Talk Head DJ. And for the Journalism Part of this club, they prepared the Dedication Booth, where they can let students write notes to dedicate to someone and during the Talk Segment of Paprika FM, I can read them out for everyone to hear." Louisa said.

Kazue finished taking all those down. "Alright. Sounds like a fine plan. I'll be going." He walked away, but shot a last glare at Louisa. "See ya around, 'Louisa 2.0' Hmph." He closed the door behind him.

(Meanwhile...)

"Ahhh! I'm late! The boy must've left! I wouldn't really want Louisa to tell the Journalism Club's Plan before me!" The girl made a run for it.

She ran faster, hoping that she still wouldn't be late, but when she got there...

"Aw snap! He left!"

"Have you all done the tasks assigned to you?" I asked the crew.

"Yes, Ms. Hitomi!" They replied altogether.

"Good! Let's wrap it up for the day. You're all dismissed."
