What?! As in the United States of America...?!

Yes, I've already mentioned this to Mom, but we'll be going there to visit Riley Dream Park.

Of course, to see what their shows are like.

Wow, I'm so jealous...!

You're talking about THE Riley Dream Park, right? The huge theme park that's always on TV and stuff.

I know you're gonna be busy learning about how they do things over there, but do you think you could get something for me?

Absolutely! We're supposed to have time to go around the park, so finding a few souvenirs shouldn't be an issue!

Yay! Thanks, Tsukasa!

Also, Saki, I'll only be gone a few days, so try not to feel too lonely.

And be sure to do whatever Mom says, alright? Don't forget to brush your teeth, try not to stay up too late and...

I'm in high school now, Tsukasa!
I'm not a little kid anymore!

Honestly, I could be saying the same for you. Be careful while you're over there, okay?

You're gonna be jet lagged on top of having to deal with a language barrier.

Hah hah hah hah!
Those are non-issues for a future star such as myself!

Are you sure...?

Still, you keep saying “future star”, but that future could be just around the corner...

I mean, you guys were chosen to become ambassadors for Phoenix Wonderland.

I still remember when you went off to that interview to become a cast member like it was yesterday.

Audition, not interview!

Haha! Yeah, that!

But you guys really are amazing.

Your troupe was doing tons of shows every day while I was still just thinking that it'd be fun to be in a band.

Sure, we've decided to try and go pro together, and even started doing shows at a live house... But we still don't really know how to draw a crowd.

Chalk it up to growing pains.

We didn't start off on the right foot either. Our first show was a disaster and had to work very hard just to get back to square one.

We were scrambling just to do five shows in one day while trying to make as many people as we could smile.

You guys went through that too...?

Does that mean our band's gonna be able to do what you guys can do if we work hard enough?

Of course!

You girls have been working diligently every day and even have a set goal in mind! To become professional musicians!

I'm sure your efforts will be rewarded.
Or rather... It's up to all of you to make it happen!

It's up to us...?

Yeah, you're right!
It's our dream after all!

Exactly! So listen up, Saki.
“You have to make your own luck, and working hard will help you do that.”

Those are the words of a star that I admire and I've taken that to heart!

You yourself will have to make your own luck and create your own opportunities because fate is not so kind or generous!

Haha. Fate might be pushing it a bit too far.

But thanks, Tsukasa!

I promise to keep doing my best, so go learn as much as you can, okay?

I will!
