Hope: Yeah but you never made the cut as a pillow either!
(Minutes later )
Jean: You know I always try to come early ...
Hope: But I woke up stressed because of the cup and my alarm clock was turned off for some strange reason...
(A British soda is poured into the tea cup)
Hope: Mrs. Winters. Umm, BluJean.. Senpai..

Hope: Thanks for.. Whatever this is...
(She takes a sip)
(The P.A. System comes on )
Dr. Kindle: Attention Autumn Regional High School students and staff! Our 9th graders will need help setting up in the gym for the annual 9th grade science fair, all students willing to help our freshmen please report to the gym, all classes have been canceled, so if you aren't helping, stay with a teacher until your parent arrives or come to the gym and help.
(The P.A.System cracks a little and switches off)
Hope: Well then, I guess I'll be getting a headstart on my idol activities today, Dream Port ---
(Jean conks Hope on the head with a shepherd's crook with a ribbon tied upon it)
Jean: Hope Fujiwara. You should know that getting there early only means Michelle will follow us. Since she's more like a malevolent shepherdess.... She's certain to set up traps in your dressing room as well as the other participants. Unless you're going to help the 9th graders, I insist that you stay with me.
Hope: Y-you didn't have to whack me with that thing..
(We transition to later that day)
(Hope walks over to the laptop)
Jean: Going somewhere, shepherdess?

Yuki: (from behind) No.. You made it just in time!
(Hope looks from behind, and finds Yuki, now wearing her new college-set casual outfit, the Smart Girls' University Coord, along with Berry, Louise and Iris. )
Hope: Everyone! You came to cheer me on!
Berry: I'm afraid that's faux, ma Américaine amie!
Yuki: We're all participating!
Hope: But what about school? Yuki, you have --
Yuki: A cherry blossom snowstorm kind of snowed in my college, so I got an extension on spring vacation, I wanted to surprise you anyway.
Louise: My mother participated in the cup when she was my age, and Berry and I are on printemps vacances as well.
Iris: My university canceled lessons for the sophmore exams.
Hope: My classes were canceled too, and BluJean-senpai came with me. So we have nothing to worry about.
Jean: What's with this senpai at the end of my name?
Yuki: Well then, let's go, we have a cup to participate in !
All: Yeah!
(They all enter the venue)
(Hope walks into the venue, but looks back to see an omnious figure watching her which quickly disappears )
Hope: Something..
(Minutes later, with a screaming crowd )
Woman: Welcome! To the Dream Idol Cup! This is the first Dream Idol Cup in twenty years, and we're in the need of a revival! I'm Takamina Yumesaki, your tour guide for the Dream Idol Cup.

(Later)
(In Nova's dressing room)
(A door opens)
Nova: Hey! Who gave you permission to come in here?
Hope: I'll be the one asking the questions. Who are you? Where are you from? Why did you runaway from me earlier? How --
Jean: That's enough questions, shepherdess.
(Jean enters the room with Yuki, Berry, Louise and Iris)
Nova: Senpai!
Hope: Senpai? Mrs. Winters, you know this girl?
Jean: Yes. I used to go home to England all the time in summer.
Hope: Is this true?
Nova: Yes. Grab a chair and I'll explain everything.
(Minutes later)
Nova: Okay. My name is Nova Bassett. I'm a young idol and I live on a big farm in the countryside in Bournemouth. When I was a little girl, I dreamed of becoming an idol, but since the nearest idol schools were in Manchester and London, I've lived a normal life. Then when I was 13, after starting high school, I met Jeanette, BluJean. She helped me become an idol, and then during the summer holidays, I traveled to America, where I met OpalMichi, every summer we did training, but then one summer three years ago, she stopped due to some kind of reasons in America. I stopped being an idol for a while, until I found out that Michelle, OpalMichi, had intentions to sabotage the cup and take over the Dream World. I had to become an idol again so I could compete in the cup. So I could stop her.
Louise: So OpalMichi is Michelle Oyazaki? That's the woman who shoved me down and stole my song?
Nova: Afraid so. I'm surprised that she changed to such a cold hearted person. I'm sorry that happened.. Um, what's your name?
Louise: My name is Louise Michel!
Iris: I'm Iris Faucher.
Berry: I'm Berne Colbert, but everyone calls me Berry!
Yuki: Yuki Minami.
Hope: And my name's Hope Fujiwara.
(She steps over to Nova)
Hope: Nova, you aren't alone. Even for an American like myself, we all know how evil Michelle is, and I want to win the cup at all costs in order to prove to her you can't win by cheating. And with you on team InterGirls we will expose Michelle for who she really is, a cheater and a liar!
Nova: T-thank you, Fujiwara-senpai!
Hope: (laughs) What's with all of this senpai stuff? Call me Hope, alright?
Nova: Yes!
