The Intern

I open my eyes and look around my room, I yawn as  I stretch my arms. I go over to the window and pull away the curtains. It's such a lovely morning. But why do I feel like I'm forgetting something?

 I look at my phone, a reminder had went off about an hour. It was for -

"MY INTERSHIP! Good grief I slept in!" I quickly change into my uniform and try brushing my unruly hair with a toothbrush. "Ugh, gross! Now I have toothpaste in my hair," I go to the shower and try to rinse it out but I forgot I'm still wearing my uniform! "Ugh! No, no, no!" I look thru my closet and put on the Hot Holidays Coord then run outside.

Dashing thru the halls

With no time to delay

And my hair's a mess

I'm screaming all the way

I have less then five minutes

To head over to the lake

And if I do not make it,

my dreams will be at stake

OH! I am late! I am late!

Sena will be mad

All hopes and dreams are gone

And that is very bad!

I am late! I am late!

There's no time to waste

I hope he's not angry

that I am very late!


I huff and puff as I reach Dreamy Lake. My lungs are about to blow up and I think I'm close to a heart attack. I sit down ... actually, lye down is better way to describe it. Anyway, so I lye down on a bench and stare into the sky. I sun is burning my skin, I can't take it. Then suddenly, an unfamiliar face is looking down on me.

"Are you Kalani Polu?" he asks. I nod, unable to speak. "Come with me," MORE MOVING!?!

I get up and follow him into the cabin, he opens the door and suddenly an icy breeze is keeping my skin cold. Thank God! Cool air!

I sit down on a chair. "Are you Sena Tsubasa?" I ask

"Yes," he replies plainly

"Am ... How late am I?" Sena looked at the clock.

"One hour, twelve minutes, and forty three seconds," I groan

"I'm sorry," I say "Will you cancel the internship?" He chuckles

"No," Few! "But you will have to earn back my trust,"

"What?" I say confused

"Well Akari told me about how amazing you were,"

"She did?"

"Yep. And then, you show up late," I mess around with my fingers. I suddenly feel very guilty for showing up late. "What do you have planned as an idol,"

"As an idol? Well ... there's the Pon-Pon Crepe Girl Audition," I tell him

"When?"

"Today, actually,"

"Okay then. I'll watch your audition and see what I think about you after that,"

"WHAT!?!"

"Good day. And here, take this," Sena hands me a water bottle "Have a nice day,"


"So now he'll watch my audition and 'see what he thinks' after that!" I tell Kibo later. "I don't know what I'm going to do!"

"It's it obvious?" she says "Just do the audition!"

"Yeah but ... I wasn't expecting my future carrier as a designer to be at stake,"

"Neither was I, but we'll get thru it together, you'll see. Everything will turn out okay in the end!" I smile

"Thanks,"


It's time for the Pon-Pon Crepe Girl Audition.  I have the Girly Chronos Coord with me, and my hair isn't a mess anymore, why should I be worried "May my cuteness shine thru!"


Kimi ni sumairu ashita ni yume

Aikatsu shiyou Ready Go!!

(1! 2! 3! GO!)

Hiroi sora no shita ja, chiisna watashi dakeredo

Yume wa ookiku susumu baki a-i-do-ru


As I dance, I feel the same excitement I felt during my debut performance. The feeling like I want to do this forever.


Mukai kaze ya arashi ni makenai

Zettai ni se-no de dasshu (It's alright!)


I spin in the air, the sparkles surrounding me. Then I pose in front of those stars and the moon. I did it again! My special appeal!


"Now it's time for the results for the Pon-Pon Crepe Girl Audition!" says the annouser person "And the winner is ..." Please, please, please, please. "Kalani Polu!" Please, please - Wait. He said my name. That's my name!


"YES! I did it!" I cry "I'm the Pon-Pon Crepe Girl!"


After a few minutes, I go backstage and hug Kibo. "Thank you so much!"


"It's wasn't me," she says "It was you,"

"Not all me, you get a lot of the thanks too,"

"That wasn't half bad,"

"Sena!" I cry "Does this mean I can still do the internship?"

"You were always 'still doing the internship'. But now you've gotten my trust back," I smile, he smiles too.

"That was awesome!" says a boy with light brown hair. "You were great out there, Kalani," It takes me a while to proses this - strangely familiar - face.

"Yujin?" I say

"Yeah. You didn't recognize me without the glasses and hat right?"

"No I couldn't,"

"I think you mean couldn't recognize you with the hat and glasses on!" Kibo gasps "How did I not know sooner!?!"

"Know what?" I ask

"This is the great rising star: Besuto Yujin!" she cries "He became super popular after his music video went viral!"

"Rising star? So you're an idol?" I ask him

"Yes!" he says, laughing "It was so great to meet you as a friend instead of a fan," I grin

"You too I guess," I never saw his video. But I'm too embarrassed to tell him.
