Ayaka: My Passionate Idol Activities! Rise! My Aikatsu Starts Now!

Before everything, we were all asked to head to the multi-purpose hall for an announcement from the Headmistress.

"Now, you do remember the unit, Skips, right? Well, we are bringing back the tournament that discovered the units like them..."

"The Unit Cup!"

Our eyes gleamed. "The Unit Cup! Uwaah! I'm so excited!" Haru said. "Right?" I added.

"But pair will be required to join. Elaine Saotendo?" The headmistress called.

"M-me?" Elaine stuttered.

"Besides upcoming projects, I have selected Elaine to a partner for the Unit Cup."

"Heidi Okami!"

"HEIDI??!!"

After the rest of the ceremony, Elaine was asked to the Headmistress's office.

"So, Elaine. As to what I have said earlier. I think that from your standards, you and Heidi will have a very nice chemistry. Now, where is Heidi?" The headmistress wondered.

"Elaine Saotendo! We may be partners for show business, but I will stoll not lose to you, no matter when! It's a rumble in the jungle!"

"Grrrr..." Elaine huffed.

"The leopard pounces, and eats all the prey it can find all over the jungle where the wild is in peace..."

"Wh-what?" Elaine said, holding her temper.

"I see, you two are good rivals as well?" The headmistress asked.

"Uhm..."

"Yes!" Heidi interrupted. "I've found a strong aura in her that I can't stand! I wanna be better than her, and nothing can stop me!" She said.

"Girls, girls. Now, where were we? Oh yes, have you thought of a unit name?" The headmistress asked.

"Not yet. But we have yet to. We have to work together for that." Elaine said.

"Oh, fine." Heidi said.

The two went to dance practice. "So, we're going to need unit dresses. Your call." Heidi said.

"Fine, I think we'd go for yours, just to give you a chance. But in exchange, I'll think of the name." Elaine said.

"Nuh uh. Headmistress Orihime saod that we need to think about it together." Heidi said. "Huh?! Why would I agree with you? Or how? We have so many differences!" Elaine said. "Well, yeah, I don't want to deal with this with you either!" Heidi crossed her arms.

I then came through the door, with Aisu.

"Hey! What's all this?!" I asked, utterly surprised. "We clearly have many differences, but this girl here wants to work this out." Heidi said. "Hey! You started it first!" Elaine countered.

"STOP!"

"The headmistress required you both to a unit, so why don't you two work together for once, discuss your opinions, and find ways." Aisu said. "Yeah. A unit needs to work together." I added.

"We're sorry, Ayaka-chan, Seiza-chan..." Both apologized.

So we left them to discuss. They decided to get their unit coords from Dolly Devil, Heidi's favorite brand.

So they went to Harajuku to find Lucy Kisaragi, Dolly Devil's top designer.

When they were on their way, Elaine accuidentaly got distracted from all the sights of Harajuku, and let go of Heidi's hand.

"Heidi!" Elaine called.

After much more walking, she saw Heidi with a bunch of people by a park.

"Finally! Now, let's get to Lucy-san!"

They got to Dolly Devil HQ. "So, you two have major differences but are assigned to a unit. Well, here are the perfect coords for you." She uncloaked the two glass cases.

"The Pink Leopard Coord for Elaine, and the Dolly Leopard Coord for Heidi." Lucy explained.

When they got their cards and returned to school, something suddenly popped in Elaine's mind.

"Rhapsody..."

"I like Bohemian Sky. And Dolly Devil is also on Animals, a jungle is wild and noisy most of the time, so it makes a Rhapsody."

"Rhapsody!" The two said at the same time.

The day of the audition came.

"No matter how different we are, we still managed to keep it together." Elaine said.

"So here's to today, Rhapsody!" Both said at the same time.

They put in their coords.

Elaine's Coord:

Pink Leopard Tio
Pink Leopard Bottom
Pink Leopard Boots

Heidi's Coord:

Dolly Leopard Coord
Dolly Leopard Skirt
Dolly Leopard Shoes

They wore their clothes one by one, and posed.

Backstage, the two sat quietly in their dressing room. "Hey, great work out there." Elaine said. "Same. But, even if we're in a unit, we'll still be rivals." Heidi looked at her sternly.

They joined hands.

"We are wild, pouncing through for our rival predators, fighting for the Spot in the Unit Cup. Welcome to the Jungle!"

"Rhapsody!"
