MISATO KAWAMOTO:


AI: "Hey, Prez, do you have plans after practice today?"


AKI: "Not really. What's up? Oh, if you're thinking of doing some extra practice, I'm happy to join you."



AI: "Yeah, that'd be awesome! I can't seem to get into the zone without you."


AKI: "If only Kanata shared your sense of enthusiasm. But I guess your extra practice can make up for what she's missing."



AI: "Wait, that's not what I wanted to say at all!"


AKI: "Oh come on!"



AI: "Listen, there's this girl in the neighbourhood I've been friends with since I was little, and she was asking if she could meet you."


AKI: "Huh? Meet me?"



AI: "Remember when you  came to the restaurant on Sunday? I was telling her about it and she got sad about missing you.
I'm always telling her about our club and our super-cool president, so I guess she wants to see you for herself."


AKI: "Me? Seriously?!"



AI: "Come on, pretty please?"


AKI: "I doubt she'll have much fun meeting me. You sure I won't disappoint her?"



AI: "It'll be fine! I mean, you're you, and lots of good stuff has happened to me since we met!"


AKI: "Okay, we'll go see her after you put in a good, hard practice session today. Deal?"



AI: "Aye aye! I, Ai, will do my best!"


AKI: *Laugh* "Oh, Ai."


AI: "That reminds me, after we visit my big sis, Rinari wanted me to meet her. She wants to discuss her selfie posts."


AKI: "Sure, I've got time. If it will help Rina, I'm all for it."


...



MISATO: "We meet at last! I'm Misato Kawamoto. We may not be related, but Ai's like my little sister.
So, you're the famous 'Prez' I've heard about! Ai tells me you're a great friend."


AKI: "H-Hello! U-Umm, I heard you're an old, dear friend of Ai's! It's a pleasure to meet you!"



AI: *Laugh* "Why are you two being so formal? This is hysterical!"


MISATO: "Please, Ai. I can tell when you're trying to hide your bashfulness."


AI: "Who, me? A-As if!"



MISATO: "Ai's always liked talking about her friends, but lately, she only seems to talk about you. Not a day goes by that I don't get an update on your latest amazing feat."


AI: "Cut it out, Misato!"



MISATO: "She says you know her so well you can put together customized practice routines just for her, and that you're always helping her plan for live shows, plus..."


AI: "Hey, hey, hey! That's top-secret info! How dare you!"


AKI: *Laugh* "Thanks, Ai. I'm so happy to hear that's how you talk about me."



AI: *Groan* "Oh, whoops, I forgot your snacks! Be right back!"



MISATO: "Aww, she ran away. Maybe we teased her a little too much?"


AKI: "I've never seen Ai so flustered before. She's usually so cool and confident. Is she always like that around you?"



MISATO: *Chuckle* "She sure is. I've gotta say, Ai seems to be enjoying life even more since she became a school idol. I really love seeing this new side of her.
I've been wanting to meet the person who's helping her blossom, and my wish finally came true. Whatever you're doing, it's working, so keep it up, okay?"


AKI: "O-Of course! I'll do anything I can to support her!"


MISATO: *Chuckle* "That's good to hear. I hope we can be friends, too. I want to be able to help Ai just like you do. Can I get your number?"


AKI: "Huh? Oh, umm, sure, if you want! You can give me yours, too!"
