Ichigo's pov

I can't control my excitement, wanna know why,Because we're going to the Ruby Cup!!!.

Shirashi-san chose Me,Saki,Nagisa, Hiromi,Grace and Mimina as contestants .

She announced this to us,since we are doing so good with our Prism Shows and Prism Jumps.

I can't wait to do this!,Especially I want to win the Premium Divine Tiara!.

I heard it's really beautiful along with the other two.

Yosh!,I'm getting fired up!. We arrived at the stadium where the Ruby Cup is held.

I looked around and saw many contestants around me ,heading to the stadium .

"I can't believe it... we are really participating in the Ruby Cup!"I said ,very excited.

"Don't get your hopes up,I  know you'll definitely fall on stage"Hiromi said to me,crossing her arms.

"Don't bully her!" Saki became very angry.

Grace just grinned,holding her laugh.

Nagisa calmed Saki down and Saki looked at me with a determined look on her face.

"Ichigo,even we are childhood friends,you know I won't go easy on you".

I blinked my eyes before nodding with a determined smile on my face.

"Of course,We'll all do our best as friends and rivals".

"Win or Lose,no hard feelings right?" Nagisa put both of her hands on our shoulders.

Both me and Saki nodded and the three of us gave each other a high five.

"Yosh!,everything is  going to be Kira☆ Hapi!"I dashed to the stadium.

"Oi!.Ichigo,Wait up!"I heard Saki saying something but I wasn't listening cuz i was to excited for the tournament.

At the waiting room,Shirashi-san told us the 3 rounds of The Ruby Cup,it's very similar as the Tiara Cup.

The first round is test out fashion skills

Second round is to perform a Prism Jump

And third round is must to perform a full Prism Show for the audience and judges ,and will be scored for our fashion sense,dance skills and quality/appeal of the jumps. The contestant with the highest score wins the tournament.

"You girls know what to do,right?"
Shirashi-san asked us.

"Hai!"We all said,determination in our voice.

I held Cindi,my teddy bear plushie, a bit closer to me. Even though I was determined to win the tournament,I felt  nervousness inside of me.

"Ano...,Shirashi-san?"I spoke.

"Yes,Ichigo?"Shirashi-san looked at me.

"Can I get some fresh air?,it's not I'm sick or anything but can I go outside?"I asked.

"Of course,but do not stay outside too long"Shirashi-san said.

I nodded and left the waiting room.

Outside was a bit airy but not too airy and its warm too.

"Ne.. Cindi,do you think that I would win the Ruby Cup?"I asked Cindi.

Nothing but silence ,I know that teddy bears can't speak.

"Hehehe even though you can't speak to me but... I feel that you're cheering for me and always keep me happy"I smiled and hugged Cindi.
