Wonder Stage
Emu
And then that all happened...
Nene
A partnership to change the park's theme into one that revolves around these characters, huh...?
Nene
It has happened with other parks too, but to just scrap every ride or attraction that's gonna feel out of place...
Rui
And they're about to finalize their agreement. I didn't realize it was already this far along...
Emu
I'm sorry for not telling you all sooner...
Emu
I didn't want this to get in the way of trying to win the Show Contest...
Emu
I would've felt awful if it made everyone sad and... I couldn't bear doing that to you...
Nene
Emu, you dummy. You know that never would've happened...!
Tsukasa
Exactly!! It's going to take more than that to wipe the smile off my face!!
Nene
How loud was that, Robo-Nene?
Robo-Nene
95 dB. About the same as a dog barking...
Tsukasa
Since when can you measure something like that?!
Nene
Anyways, he feels the same way, so you don't have to worry about us.
Nene
Honestly, we want to help you and would really rather have you just tell us.
Rui
Indeed. If it weren't for you, Emu, none of us would be here today.
Rui
Let us return the favor in what way we can.
Tsukasa
Precisely!! Now, let us begin planning how to overcome this issue!
Tsukasa
Hmm... Partnering with another company...
Nene
Just what exactly can we do at this point? We could start a petition and collect signatures from people who really love PXL... Maybe?
Rui
But these aren't political entities we're dealing with here. They have no obligation to recognize any such protests.
Rui
This park may very well be struggling financially, but it would be all for naught if the park ended up folding by operating the way it has been...
Tsukasa
So we need a way to make sure Phoenix Wonderland can stay afloat while maintaining its current image...?
Rui
Unfortunately, the plan Emu's brothers have been working on is a good, practical solution.
Rui
Licensing fees aside, the name recognition of the characters alone would let them break even and help distinguish itself from other parks.
Rui
If we're to foil such a big plan, we'll need something to match it...
Emu
It just seems so hard...
Tsukasa
No! There's nothing hard about this whatsoever!
Tsukasa
Regardless of operations and visitor totals, everyone that comes here wants to smile!
Tsukasa
Which means there has to be a way for us to reach thousands of people all at once and make them smile!!
Emu
Tsukasa...
Nene
Hehe. I know you're just running your mouth off, but I figured you'd say something like that.
Rui
But as long as we're together...
Rui
It may not actually be that difficult.
Nene
Huh?
Emu
Really?!
Rui
Yes. It may be a simple matter.
Rui
We just need to put on a show unlike any we've ever done.
Emu
Unlike any we've ever done...?
Rui
Hehe. It's still in its infancy, but I believe it's a good plan.
Tsukasa
You always speak in riddles at times like this...
Rui
All but it's all part of the act and attracting more visitors.
Tsukasa
Fine, so be it. Whenever you get that look on your face, we end up putting on a good show so...
Rui
Oh, have you finally learned to put some stock into my ideas?
Tsukasa & Rui
<Hah hah hah.>
<Heh heh heh.>
<Heh heh heh.>
Nene
*Sigh*... They came up with another stupid plan. I'm sure of it...
Nene
But they do usually get things done when it matters.
Emu
Yup...!
Emu
(Everyone's being so awesome...!)
Emu
(I couldn't do or come up with anything on my own...)
Emu
(But it feels like we can do anything when we're all together.)
Emu
Hehehe...
Nene
What's up?
Emu
Nothing... I just feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
Nene
Warm and fuzzy?
Emu
Yeah! Before I talked to you, my heart felt like it was sinking so much, but now I feel all warm and fuzzy...!
Emu
I can't really explain it but...!
Nene
Hehe. I definitely understood that...
Emu
Really?
Nene
Yes. Really.
Tsukasa
Now! Let's all get up on the stage!
Nene
Huh? Why?
Tsukasa
To get ourselves motivated!
Tsukasa
We're gonna need to move as a cohesive unit! We'll start by shouting our battle cry!
Emu
A battle cry?
Rui
So something along the lines of wonderhoy?
Emu
Oh! I wanna try!
Alright, I'll start...!
Alright, I'll start...!
Tsukasa
Huh? Emu, wait! The troupe leader should be...!
Emu
One, two...!
Emu
Everyone, wonderhoy!
Nene & Rui
<Wonderhoy!>
Robo-Nene
Wonderhoy!
Tsukasa
W-Wonderhoy!
Tsukasa
Why did you take the lead...?!
Nene
Who cares as long as it works in the end?
Rui
Right. And it does feel like it worked in some way.
Tsukasa
What do you mean in some way?!
Robo-Nene
102 dB. The sound of a train on an overpass.
Tsukasa
Stop measuring me!!
Rui
Ah, good. It's working just fine.
Nene
So, Rui. What's this plan of yours anyways?
Rui
Oh, but it's far too soon to tell. It wouldn't be very interesting if I just told everyone now.
Rui
But I suppose a hint may be in order... How about Everything is a show?
Rui
We'll have to put everything we can into our next show, and I'll be counting on all of the help you can give me.
Tsukasa
I see. So our next show is going to be a spectacle like no other...
Tsukasa
Then let us get started on our preparations!
Tsukasa
Wonderlands×Showtime will unite as one to overcome this massive hurdle!!
Emu
Yeah!!
