A few days later, Souta is inside a classroom with Jiro and Takara, while the three watch a pop star on television. The sign that says "EIKO" in flashing lights is switched on, and a young girl walks by with a big smile on her face.

Eiko: "Thank you all so much for listening to today's song everybody! More will be coming soon, and don't forget to check out my latest album, The Blueberry Idol! See you soon!" *she blows a kiss and the show ends*

Souta: That music video was nice, no?

Takara: I really enjoyed it! She's really fantastic!

Jiro: Eh, not too bad for a start.

Takara: Are you kidding? She's been a pop star since she was 10 years old! She's experienced!

Jiro: How old is she now...?

Souta: I think she's 12. She would have been in my class.

*the kids find a teacher walk in*

Teacher: Oh, there you are. I want to inform you three that all students from grades 5 to 8 are about to go on a class trip sometime soon this week. I want your parents to sign this form if you plan on going.

Takara: A school trip? I wanted one of those!

Souta: Thank you so much!

Instructor: No problem. Let me know if you have any questions. *he exits*

Jiro: Does it involve chocolate? *he sees the two stare at him* Oh, sorry. I mean... I could probably try to take a break right now.

Souta: Haha, it's okay. No hard feelings. *A dodge ball hits his head* Ow!

???: Oops! Sorry!

Souta: Ah, it's okay.

???: *A girl runs in the classroom trying to get the ball* Hey, I know you! Amami Souta from our chemistry class!

Souta: Oh yeah! Suzukawa Emiko.

Emiko: Indeed I am! What are you doing here?

Souta: I was just talking to my two new friends, Kirameki Takara and Takase Jiro.

Jiro: Nice to meet you.

Takara: OH MY GOSH!! You look exactly like Eiko the Blueberry Idol! I see the resemblance!

Emiko: Well, isn't that a coincidence? I am Eiko, which is even more shocking.

Takara: AHHHHHH I KNEW IT!! Can I have your autograph? Please?? *she does cute puppy dog eyes*

Emiko: Of course! *she signs one of her notebooks and hands it back to her*

Souta: Hold up? That was you??

Emiko: Well, yes. *winks* It's surprising how one person recognized me because I usually wear a wig.

Jiro: Probably the resemblance of your face says otherwise.

Emiko: It's possible.

Souta: You'll have to be careful around my new friends though. They can be pretty competitive, but in the end they are so nice!

Takara: Huh?! *her face turns red* Who said anything about being nice! Hmph!

Emiko: TsunTsun Takara? *smirks*

Takara: Don't you dare call me that! *stomps her foot angrily*

Emiko: You're definitely one though, and it's so cute for an 11 year-old!

Takara: How about I give you a challenge!

Emiko: A challenge?

Jiro: Oh for crying out loud...
