1st TRUE STORY ♫ {VIDEO | ACTION}

[risette_truestory]

{ Once an idol, always an idol. It was Rise's day off and she decided to go to the arcade. The first thing she wanted to do was play the 'Dance Step Mania' Game. While she was in Tokyo back in her world, it had always been her favorite game and often disguised herself just to play it in peace.

The feed starts with Rise's introduction. She was winking and smiling to the camera. Once in a while, even blowing a kiss. She turned the camera and showed a very grouchy Lucemon. It looked like Rise had dragged him there. }

Good Morning, everyone! It's Rise and I am here at the arcade about to play a game called --- say it, Lucy!

Dance Step Mania ...

Say it with more life!

*sighs* DANCE STEP MANIA!!!

...

Close enough ... Now, let Rise amaze you!

{ Rise had Lucemon hold the camera towards her and began her first game. After selecting a song and setting it on basic first, she began to dance. It was an upbeat song and she was scoring very high. There was no sign of panting or hardship. Looks like she really was used to it. For her, this was no different from the dances she did as an idol. }

{ When the song ends she turns to the camera again and gives a deep bow. But she wasn't done. }

I was wondering if someone else out there knows how to play this game. If you do, why don't you come over and try to challenge me?

I warn you, I'm pretty good!

Original? ... so AKB48 and AKB0048 are different?

[sonati]

We're still AKB! But the original members were around years and years ago... when Earth was still around, I think.

[risette_truestory]

W-w-wait! Still around?

[ Did she just hear that right? ]

Did something happen to the Earth?!

[sonati]

Sonata learned from Linda that a long time ago, a war broke out because of space travel being discovered! So everyone left Earth because they couldn't live there anymore.

[risette_truestory]

[ Was that ... their future? If this was going to happen, when will this be? ... And will that time be near?

She shook her head. Rise was thinking too much. ]

That is ... really sad ...

[sonati]

_{[Well, yeah, but it was ages and ages before Sonata was even born.]}

Linda also told Sonata that AKB sang until the end! So now there's AKB0048!

[risette_truestory]

They sound like really brave girls ... I can understand why you admire them, then.

[sonati]

Risette should learn some AKB songs! Sonata can teach you them.

[risette_truestory]

[ Laughs. ]

Risette is not an idol anymore though.

[sonati]

Risette could still learn, though. C'mon, c'mon! _{[She's not even going to wait before she starts on the first few verses of Aruji Naki Sono Koe]}

[risette_truestory]

[ It wouldn't hurt ... Rise did love to sing. So, she listened to a few lines and after she sang the chorus once, she began singing along the second time she reached the chorus, and trying to harmonize. Difficult because this was a song she didn't know. ]

[sonati]

Yeah! You're getting it! [Sonata is SO PROUD.]

♫ A wind that heeds no master now blows
Behold, light shines down through the clouds ♫

[risette_truestory]

[ Trying not to laugh. She sings along with the chorus and tries to be the second voice, though not doing a very good job since she doesn't know the song but she is trying her best. ]

♫People who have lost their way try to listen closely
and make it their strength to continue walking down their path. ♫

[sonati]

[Sonata got Rise to join in at least. With enough practice, she'll get the hang of it. Next step: introduce her to Orine and Makoto.]

♫My dream is still too far away, all I can do is sigh…
I’m giving it my all… but it all feels helpless.♫
