Ayaka: My Passionate Idol Activities! Rise! An Aikatsu Birthday is Starting! *blows a party noiser*

(Chiyo's Room)

She instantly opened her eyes. She jumped out of bed and checked the calendar. Her eyes gleamed.

"Yosh! Happy Birthday to Yours Truly!" Chiyo exclaimed.

She set out to the cafeteria to get herself her favorite plain donut. She liked the plain donut out of the others, and some say she was just weird, but she would just say that she liked it and it was no one's business.

After she had breakfast, she would dance in the practice room. As she rested, she thought of something.

[Flashback]

"Chiyo-chan!"

"Tanjoubi omedetou! Here. A present!" A girl said.

"Arigato!"

When I opened it from my birthday 2 years ago, it was half an infinity bracelet, mine had a E with it, and it was similar to her bracelet, except hers had a C in it.

"That way, you can remember me even if we're in other parts of this country." She smiled.

[Flashback End]

"It's my birthday. Can you actually make it here?" Chiyo thought.

She came out to take a stroll,

"It's my B to the I to the R-T-H, D to the A to the Y-Y-Y it's my time of the year, happy birthday to me!" She skipped to herself.

Little did she know, The rest of the girls and I heard her.

"Oh, it's Chiyo's birthday? She doesn't know we heard her, so why don't we throw a surprise birthday party here?" Aisu suggested.

"Great idea! And I know just the persons to help..." Kirei snickered.

After a few minutes, Kirei came back with Kaede [Ichinose]-senpai, Aoi [Kiriya]-senpai and Otome [Arisugawa]-senpai.

"Hi hi!" Kaede greeted cheerfully. "So, what can we do?" Aoi asked. "Well, maybe you can throw Chiyo-chan a party while we investigate more on what she likes?" I suggested.

"We'll get the decorations done first. Good luck!" Otome cheered.

Luckilu, we got help from Haru. So, she, Aisu and I went on investigating. While Kirei was off baking a cake.

We hid in bushes to hear her tell Chiyo's thoughts to herself aloud. It looked like she was carrying a pile of fan letters to her dorm room.

"Easy there, I can make it..." She repeatedly told herself. She did not notice that she had dropped her phone.

When we saw no sign of Chiyo, we grabbed the opportunity to pick up her phone. When we opened it, we saw a picture of two children, one child seemed to be little Chiyo, and another one was a child with auburn hair and gray eyes. It seems as if it had a caption. It read:

"Best friends: Chiyo Edeki and Errissa Zumari. Hope we can see each other everyday, but we're two worlds apart, that can't happen fast like Magic. But like a clover, I'm so lucky you're my friend. As years pass, we'll remember this day and dream of the days to come."

"Oh? This is Chiyo's friend? I'm sure she hasn't seen her for so long." I said. "Yeah. Her name appears to be Errissa Zumari." Aisu said.

"Wait a minute..." I thought. "The background... The place seems to be..."

"The place seems to be Kobe!" Aisu and I said at the same time.

"We said that at the same time! Did you just read my mind?" Aisu said. "I didn't know you thought that as well." I laughed.

"So if this Errissa's from Kobe, then we should ask who's gone to Kobe here at Starlight."

"Who are..."

"Oozora-senpai and Hattori-senpai!" Haru said.

We came to find them at the cafeteria.

"Akari-senpai, Yuu-senpai!" I called.

"Oh, good afternoon girls. What can we do for you?" Yuu said.

"I know it would be a bit embarrassing to ask since I look up to you as well and all, but, as the Travel Idol, you've been to Kobe, and I believe you know anyone, like an idol there?" Haru said with a tint of pink in her cheeks.

"Well, I know someone." Akari said.

"Kokone Kurisu-chan!" She said.

"Then, I guess, Akari-senpai, you can accompany us with Johnny-sensei to Kobe, if you don't mind." Aisu said.

"I don't mind at all! I'm sorry if I had to leave so soon, Yuu-chan." Akari apologized as she stood up from her seat. "N-no! It's okay! I like it hen you help your kouhais." Yuu winked.

So Aisu, Haru, Akari-senpai and I, with transport courtesy of Johnny-sensei, we were off to Etoile Institute, the school Errissa was attending.

"Oh, by the way, I contacted your other friends to get their coords from their prefferred brands for the party. I figured it'd be a good idea." Akari said.

"Thanks! I'm so excited!" I said.

(A couple hours later...)

"We're here!" Akari said. "Wow! This seems like the fresh air's seeping into us already, especially now that it's almost Christmas." Haru said.

We walked to the school. "Etoile Institute... Woah..." I said, my eyes getting bigger.

"We're coming in!"

We walked to the hallway until we saw a familiar face.

"The world is centered around... Kokone!"

"You said it!"

"Kokone-chan!" Akari grabbed her into a hug. "Hajimemashite." I started off.

"Hajimemashite, Kokone Kurisu desu!" She greeted in a cheerful manner.

"I'm Ayaka Miyoko, along with me a-are my f-friends:"

"Seiza Kagayaku;"

"And Haru Akanase."

"I'd like to ask if there were anyone here you knew by the name of Errissa Zumari?" I asked.

"Hai! We're classmates." Kokone replied. "Because we have a friend who's friends with her as well. Today's her birthday and we want to surprise her, along with our other friends." Aisu explained.

"Oh? So then, I'll take you to her!" Kokone smiled.

"Arigato Guzaimasu!" The three of us bowed.

We were then taking to altheir practice room, where we saw a girl with auburn hair and gray eyes.

"Ano... You must be Errissa Zumari-san?" I asked. "Hai." She replied.

"We would like to ask a favor. Can you come with us to Starlight Academy? It's Chiyo's birthday, and we want to give a surprise party with you in it, since you haven't seen each other in a long time." I requested.

"Chiyo? As in, Chiyo Edeki? Oh my gosh! Of course!" She nodded in excitement.

So we rode back to Starlight. And all of us (including Kirei, Kali and Elaine) gathered in mine and Aisu's dorm.

And on the table, there were sets of Aikatsu Cards.

"Uwaah!" We all exclaimed. "Those are the colrds you'll be using for the Birthday Live." Akari winked.

There was a set for Dreamy Crown, Angely Sugar, Loli GoThic and Swing Rock.

"How about yours, Elaine's and Errissa's?" Kali wondered.

"We've already got ours. We already told Akari-senpai beforehand." I winked.

"Ta da!" We showed our cards.

"I remember Elaine-chan's coord. It was the one she almost used for the Reality Show Audition!" Aisu said.

"And Ayaka-chan's coord is from the time we had the Pop'n Popcorn Audition!" Kirei recalled.

"And Errissa?" Akari asked.

"Well, I've got the Hansel Clover Coord from Retro Clover."

Just then, Hinaki-senpai came through the door.

I've also got your accesspry cards that should come in handy!" She handed out the accessory cards.

Mine was shaped like a castle [Aurora Fantasy]
Aisu's was like a School Emblem [Dreamy Crown]
Kirei's was a pink headband [Angely Sugar]
Kali's was Devil Horns [Loli GoThic]
Elaine's were purple feathers [Spicy Ageha]
And Errissa's was a candy headband [Happy Rainbow]

We sang, "Lovely Party Collection." We only started when Chiyo was unblindfolded.

"Now, Chiyo-chan, we now welcome our guest of honor!" Elaine said.

"Guest of honor? Wh-what do you mean?" Chiyo asked.

"Please welcome! Errissa Zumari of Etoile Institute!"

Chiyo's eyes widened.

"Chiyo-chan!"

"Errissa-chan!"

They both hugged. "Errissa! Hisashiburi!" Chiyo exclaimed. "Yeah, like, a very long time no see." Errissa laughed.

"Say, since it's your birthday, why don't the two of us perform together? Here,"

"I found these cards in your room. They're perfect for the occassion." She handed her the cards that made up the Retro Orange Coord.

"Thanks for coming, after all these years." Chiyo patted Errissa's shoulder. "You should thank your friends and Akari-san, they put this up for you. Happy Birthday." Errissa pulled her to a hug.

Chiyo came to us. "Thank you, thank you all. I won't ever forget today. Especially you, Ayaka-chan. If I hadn't met you and your friends, I won't ever be what I am now." She hugged me.

"You're welcome. I'm just happy to do something for a friend." I said, mussing her orange hair.
