Kokoro: That's right! You're gonna be our DJ, Michelle! I think it's cool when bands have their own DJ. Mmm, this is getting exciting! Kanon: Wh-What do you think, Misaki-chan? Sonic: Yeah, it's not a bad idea. Michelle: Well... I mean, if I'm just playing CDs... It sounds fun enough. Kokoro: Then it's decided! Let's head to the studio and get rehearsing! Kaoru, Hagumi: Yeah! Sonic: Just letting you know, I'm doing this once. Michelle: (Thus is all getting weirder and weirder... Although I am the one who went and booked us a gig, so... I guess I could give it a try.)
One week later in the studio lounge: They all had their outfits as they wear them. Sonic: Do I really have to wear this? Kokoro: Of course! It's perfect! Sonic: I-I guess... (Good thing I told Afterglow that I'm doing something with another band.) Kokoro; It's been a week already! Let's all show just how far we've come in our practice, shall we? Michelle! Music, please! Michelle: Erm... How's this? Michelle puts a disk on as the others were impressed. Michelle: Huh. That's... actually... Kokoro: Yay! Hagumi: Hey! Hiya! Kaoru: My words fly up, my thoughts remain below... So fleeting... Sonic: Not bad, Misaki. Kanon: (I... I have to try harder...!) Michelle: (It's hard to believe, but... We actually do sound like a band right now... I guess all that hard work paid off after all. It's clear Hagumi has really been practicing a lot. She really was serious about her dedication... Kaoru... She can still be a little wild sometimes, but she's definitely playing the part. Sonic is really great at playing the guitar. He's someone that I can really talk to or hang out with. But most of all... Kanon is playing so, so well.) Kokoro: Wahoo! Are you feeling pumped, Michelle? Let's go! Yay! Michelle: (Yeah. Kokoro's just same as always. Backflipping around the studio.)
Few minutes later: Kokoro: This is perfect! We're ready for the show already! Hagumi: Amazing! This band is just the best! Kaoru: I never knew music could be so beautiful. A grand new world has opened before me...! Michelle: I mean, this is still just our first song. Kokoro: If we've done one already, we can do thousands more! Michelle: You really are positive, huh. Sonic: She's always is. But great job, everyone. I think we did good. Michelle: I think so too, to be fair. Kanon: Do you really think to, Sonic-chan, Misaki-chan? W-Was I playing okay...? Sonic: Of course you were! Michelle: You should really have more confidence, Kanon. Everyone was playing really well. I mean, as far as I can tell. I'm no pro, so... It's a good thing you didn't quit the drums, huh. Sonic: Misaki's right. Good job, Kanon. Kanon starts to blush. Kanon: Ah...?! Y-Yeah... Hagumi: Alright! This band's gonna take its energy all the way to that love house and put on a great show! Wait, "this band..." Kokoro: This band...? What is it, Hagumi? Hagumi: Kokoron. What is this band called, anyway? Did we ever actually choose a name? Sonic: Hmm? Kanon: I-I don't think we did... Michelle: Whew. So hot... I'm burning up inside this costume here. Ah. So you finally realized, huh. Don't worry, I made sure to put in our application to perform with band name "to be confirmed,"so... Kokoro: Oh, but we have a band name. Sonic: There is? Michelle: Why didn't you tell us already?! Kokoro: We are... Hello, Happy World! Because we'll put smiles on everyone's faces! Sonic, Michelle, Hagumi: Hello... Kanon, Kaoru: Happy World... Kokoro: If you wanna make someone smile, you've got to approach them with a smile yourself. Like, "hello!" See? Kaoru, Hagumi: It works...! Kanon: It's very you, Kokoro-chan... I think I like it... Sonic: I guess it's not bad. It could work. Michelle: I mean, it's very literal, if nothing else. Ahh... I can't take this heat anymore. I need some coffee... Let me just get this off... Misaki takes off the head as the others were shocked except Sonic and Kanon.

Misaki: Hmm? Kokoro, Kaoru, Hagumi: Ah... Waaahhh! Hagumi: M-Michelle's head turned into a girl's head! Did she always have the head of a human and the body of a bear?! Kokoro: No, no! There's a girl inside of her! She's been switched out! Kaoru: So then, where is the real Michelle? What kind of magic is this?! Sonic: Welp... Kokoro: This is terrible! We have to find the real Michelle, or... Hmm? Misaki: Ah. I think she's finally noticed... Kokoro: Wait a minute... Do I know you? I feel like I've seen you before, but... I can't quite remember. Misaki: We had that strategy meeting just the other day. More importantly, I see you literally everyday in class! Sonic: Kokoro, it's quite obvious who this is. Kanon: Sonic-chan's right. Michelle is Misaki-chan...! Misaki: Sonic, Kanon, don't even bother... Kokoro: We can't let anything happen to the real Michelle! We have to go out and find her, quick! Kaoru, Hagumi: Okay! Let's go save Michelle! Sonic: Huh...? Misaki: There's just no getting through to those three dummies. Sonic: (This is just weird...)
