#acchan13

Mariko stretched her arms above her head, feeling the muscles tighten and sighed happily. Practice was over and it was the weekend! Sure, there was a photo shoot tomorrow and something the day after, but it was relatively relaxed compared to other weekends. Heading back to her room, she dumped her stuff and changed her shirt.

Yuko nervously glanced up at the screen, sweat beads forming on her head. She was nervous for good reason - right now, she was sitting in the biggest concert hall on Akibastar, with millions of fans surrounding her, all of them eager to see who would take first...In the General Election. This was Yuko's first one as a successor. She hoped and prayed that she would at least be ranked this time round...So she could come one step closer to catching her ultimate goal.

That goal who was sitting right next to her, seemingly calm as ever. Acchan the 13th. She wasn't only Yuko's senpai, but the one that Yuko most wanted to beat. The Centre Nova position. Yuko was determined that one day, she would take it off Acchan.

As Hoshina got ready and was combing her hair in the bathroom, Acchan appeared in the mirror. 

"Um...Is now an OK time senpai?"

Acchan knew this was breaking the number one rule as a center nova. But sometimes even Acchan got lost on her path and needed to visit her mentor. The one who was Acchan even before her.

When she had gone to the river, expecting to be able to sit quietly by herself, but found that wasn't to be. 

The evening before the Retrostar concert Acchan appeared in a nightmare to Chieri. ..

Akibastar was in despair again. DES had come back and it seemed as though no matter how loud Chieri sang no one heard her message.

There are no members left but you. So, Center Nova...what will you do?
