Sonic was walking in the city by himself as he sees a blonde girl with a school uniform talking to students.
Sonic: Hmm?
Kokoro: What to do, what to do. What do I do today? Ah! You there! What do you think I should do?
Student 1: E-excuse me...?
Kokoro: Not excused! I need ideas for fun stuff to do! I mean what else am I gonna do with my time?
Student 1: Wh-what... I don't...
Student 2: Don't worry, Tsurumaki-san's always like this. Quizzing people looking for "fun stuff to do."
Sonic: I'm guessing she's bored.
Kokoro: Hey, you!
Sonic: Huh? Me?
Kokoro: Yeah!
Sonic: Uhh...
Kokoro: What do you think I should do?
Sonic: Uhh, I don't know... play with your friends.
Kokoro grabs Sonic and runs off.
Sonic: What the heck!

At the station entrance:
Kokoro: La, lalala, lalalala.
Sonic: Hey, what's your name?
Kokoro: Name's Kokoro. Kokoro Tsurumaki. Yours?
Sonic: Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog. (What am I doing here?)
Passerby: Is that girl just singing to herself?
Kokoro: La. Hmm. This isn't fun. Something's missing. I'm not putting smiles on people's faces yet.
Sonic: Putting smiles on people's faces?
Passerby 2: Hey, isn't that the guy that did the Girls Jam with Afterglow?
Passerby: Yeah, it is.
Sonic: Where are you taking me?
Kokoro: Somewhere.
Sonic was confused as he bumps into a high school girl.
Kanon: Ahhh.
Sonic: Oh, sorry. Are you okay?
Sonic reaches his hand out as he picks up the girl.
Kanon: I-I'm sorry... I think I'm lost... I-I heard there's a music store near here...
Sonic: Oh, it's over- Uh... Kokoro...?
Kokoro: Fufufu... You are just what I've been looking for!
Kanon: Wh-what?! I... Ah... That uniform... Hanasakigawa...?
Kokoro: Hanasakigawa Girls Academy 1st year, Kokoro Tsurumaki! How about you? Is that an instrument you're carrying? You're looking for the music store, right?
Kanon: 1st year... Ah... I-I'm Kanon Matsubara..: Th-this is a musical instrument, yes... Oh, and you are?
Sonic: I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog. Sorry for bumping into you.
Kanon: No,no... it's fine...
Kokoro: I knew it! Nice to meet you, Kanon! I'm out here singing today, y'know. Come join us for a jam!
Sonic: Huh? I never said I was joining.
Kokoro grabs Kanon's hand.
Kanon: Me...? Ah... P-please, let go... I'm actually... on my way to sell this snare...
Kokoro: Sell it? Why? If you sell it, you won't be able to jame with us, will you?
Sonic: I never said I was joining. (Man, this girl sure is weird.)
Kanon: Th-that's not... I wasn't... I-I have to go, now...
Kokoro: Aww, come on! You wanna put smiles on everyone's faces too, don't you?
Kanon: I-I don't even understand what you mean.
Sonic: Me neither.

With Misaki:
Misaki: Strange, I'm sure this is the right time. The job listing did look pretty suspicious... Maybe I should just call it off...?
Misaki gets a call.
Misaki: Huh. It's the manager calling. Hello, Misaki Okusawa speaking.
Manager: "Hey, you're one of the applicants, right? Look, I'm really sorry, but I'm running a little late. Do you think you could wait another 5 minutes?"
Misaki: Sure, but... Do you think you could tell me more about this job? There weren't any details at all on the site.
Manager: Oh, sure! So, it'll be really warm in winter, but you'll probably melt a little in summer. Ah, don't worry, there's nothing suspicious about the job! Honest!
Misaki: I'll melt...? What...?

With Kaoru:

Crazed fan 1: Kya! Kaoru-sama! Please, shake my hand!
Kaoru: Fufu. Of course, little kitten. I just worry I might harm your beautiful, delicate skin with even my slender touch... Be careful, okay?
Crazed fan 2: Ahh...
The fan fainted.
Crazed fan 3: Uh oh, we have another fainter.
Kaoru: Oh! Curse this wicked beauty of mine! As the great bars himself did ponder, should this be the fate of man? Is our very humanity a blessing, or is it in fact a curse...?
Sonic and the others see something as he sees a large crowd.
Sonic: Hmm?
Sonic runs ahead.
Kokoro: Hey!
Kanon: He's gone...
Sonic stops as he sees another girl with a uniform.
Sonic: What's going on?
Misaki: I don't know? Huh?
Sonic: Hmm?
Misaki: W-what are you?
Sonic: Oh, I'm a hedgehog. Name's Sonic. Yours?
Misaki: Misaki. Misaki Okusawa.
Sonic: Misaki, huh. Nice to meet you.
Misaki: Likewise.
Kokoro: La lalala. Come on, Ka! Go wild on the drums, let's make this a real show!
Kanon: Ahh, I cant do this any more...
Misaki: Ah... Kokoro Tsurumaki...
Sonic: Oh, you know her, too?
Misaki: Yeah. The famed free spirit of Hanasakigawa. We've been classmates for some time now, but it's still blows my mind that she does this kind of thing in public...
Sonic: Wow.
Misaki: Yeah, she's like that a lot. There must be something in the air today...
Sonic: Hmm?

With Kokoro and Kanon:

Kokoro: What's the matter Kanon? Are you nervous? We're putting a show out here!
Kanon: O-Of course I'm... I'm nervous... I can't even play that well at home... L-let alone in front of... a-all these people...!
Kokoro: What...? First of all, of course you can't play that well by yourself. You're not the one who decides if you're any good. You've gotta let others hear you! They're the ones who'll decide!
Kanon: B-but... Th-that's actually... I-I don't have the courage to...
Kokoro: Courage? I've got plenty! Take some of mine!
Kanon: ...!
Kokoro: I'm having so much fun singing out here! But I bet it'll be a million times more fun with your drum performance backing me up! And maybe, just maybe, you'll enjoy yourself too! And when you're smiling bright like me, you won't even if you're playing well or not.
Kanon: If... if I just smile...
Kokoro: Exactly! There's no point if it's not fun! And that's why I need you, Kanon! Come on, come on!
Sonic: Hmm? Who's that?
Misaki: That's the manager.
Sonic: The manager?
Manager: Hi there, Okusawa-san? Are you here for the job posting?
Misaki: Oh, yes, that's me. Nice to meet you.
Sonic: Huh?
Kanon: Th-this is still... really very embarrassing...
Kokoro: Okay! Sounds like you need more of my courage! Go on courage! Fly on over to Kanon!
Misaki: (Wh-what is that girl doing?)
Sonic: Hmm?
