Aikatsu! The Idol of My Dreams

Fear - The Way It Stops Us

"So ... what do you think" I asked Sena before going back to school one day. He looked at the coord I designed.

"It needs a few improvements,"

"Oh ..."

"But it's very good," I beam

"Y-you like it?" I asked

"Well like I said it needs a few improvements, but you're getting there. You'll design a coord in no time,"

"Really?" I asked

"Just ... take your time,"

"Oh, okay. See you tomorrow then?" I said

"Hold on. Akari wanted to give you another one of her old coords,"

"Really?"

"Yep. She really likes you, you know," Sena told me as he handed me old Aikatsu cards. "Here,"

"The Thumbelina Bouquet Coord!" I beamed at the cards. "The design is so beautiful. It really looks like it jumped out of a story book,"

"Thank you," Sena replied

"One day, I'll create a coord. A beautiful coord. And I'm going to perform with it on stage,"

"Having dreams is good," Sena told me "The best part is seeing how far you've gone after all your work,"

"Really? Not making them come true?" I asked

"Just wait until that day," Sena told me.

I skipped down the halls of DreAca as I looked at my new coord. It's so beautiful, and Akari was so nice to give them to me. "Kalani!!!" cried a familiar voice.

"Daiji!?!" I cry "What's -"

"I have bad news and good news!" she says

"Okay, and what are they?" I ask

"Well ... the good news is my debut performance is this weekend," I smile at the small girl.

"Really?? Daiji that's awesome! So what's the bad news?"

"I'm scared,"

"Aw, you're scared?" I wrapped my arms around her, making me feel motherly in some way. "You know, I was scared during my debut performance too,"

"You were?" Daiji asked

"Yep. Terrified, but then I concurred my fear once I saw everyone smiling, seeing how happy I made them,"

"So ... do you think it will work for me?" Daiji asked

"I think so, just give it a shot!" I smile at her, she smiles back

"But ... I'm still scared,"

"Don't worry, you're friends will be out there. You're not alone,"

"Thank you, Kalani,"

"Anything for a friend,"

"But could you practice with me? Y-you know, help me prepare?"

"Of course I will!"

For the rest of the week, I helped Daiji practice for her debut, the finally, the day had come. I sat with Kibo, Hana, and Hikari to watch. "It's taking forever!" said Hikari "Hikari wants to see Daiji perform, now, now, NOW!!"

"Patience Hikari," said Hana

"Yeah! DreAca wasn't built in a day!" said Kibo

I about to add something else before my phone vibrates. I'm getting a phone call. "Hello?" I say
