Disclaimer: I do not own love live! or any of its characters.
"Celebrity heartbreaker strikes again! The ever popular and sought after idol, Nico-nii has broken another fragile heart." closing the magazine, a tired voice signed. "Nico-chi, you can't keep doing this or else you'll end up all alone..."
"Pfft, yeah right. I just don't like any of those other celebrities, I wish the press wouldn't make such a fuss." Nico complained.
Yazawa Nico, aged 22, stage name: Nico-nii, is an extremely popular actress and singer. Her cute looks and heart-stopping smile never fail to amaze a crowd and her excellent acting makes her the perfect lead role. Her current manager is Toujou Nozomi, a long-time aquaintence and close friend. Nico currently has a record deal with WestKino records.
"Nozomi is right, Nico. It couldn't hurt to give them a chance." another voice added.
"Yes, it could! Some of them are so clingy and it'll make it even harder to reject them!" Nico retorted, "Also, I don't want to hear that from you, Miss I'm-so-charming-but-still-single!" Nico yelled, frowning.
"What?! I just haven't found the right person, that's all!" Eri rebutted, shocked at the accusation.
Ayase Eri, aged 22, is a famous dancer and choreographer as well as a singer and actress, in other words, a triple-threat. She debuted as a dancer in a famous movie before rising up to stardom. Her current manager is Toujou Nozomi, her best friend. She currently has a record deal with WestKino records.
"Now, now that's enough you two. You're lucky I don't force you both into relationships." Nozomi said, trying to ease the tension between the two of them.
Toujou Nozomi, aged 22, is a top-class manager who founded many brilliant stars. She posseses a calming aura and is very persuasive. She is currently working for StarManagement co.
Eri chose to turn the other cheek as Nico glared at her, fuming. Why can't everyone understand that even though those other celebrities are pretty and handsome, I just don't feel attracted to them?
They were currently lounging at Nozomi's penthouse living room, having a small break from their hectic lifestyle.
"Hey, I want you guys to take a look at this video here." Nozomi called out to the two celebrities, motioning for them to come over and sit next to her on the sofa.
They both shifted over and once they were seated near her, she pressed play on the video.
On the screen, was a beautiful red-haired girl in a knee length purple dress that was playing the piano and singing. As her fingers danced across the piano keys, her melodious voice followed in harmony.
"Oh, isn't this that new singer? She deubuted with this song." Eri said, eyes still on the video. "Yep, she has a record deal with WestKino records, just like the both of you. So in a way, she's your competition. There's something about her voice that just pulls you in, right?" Nozomi asked, smiling as she heard the music. Eri nodded in response.
Nico had remained silent the entire time, eyes glued to screen as she drank in the beautiful music, watching the girl's movements intently. Indeed, there was something captivating about her that Nico just couldn't catch. Was it her beautiful purple eyes? Her elegant fingers? Her crimson red hair or that dazzling smile she presented to the viewers at the end of the video?
"What's her name?" Nico had questioned without even a second thought, and Nozomi was quite surprised since Nico rarely paid any attention to other stars besides herself.
"Nishikino Maki." she replied, before typing something into her computer.
Instantly, pictures of Maki popped up on the screen along with various news articles and information.
Eri took the computer from Nozomi, to read more about the rising star. Nishikino Maki, eh? Nico thought, she seems interesting.
A/N: And that was the prolouge! Also, I'm gonna need all of your help on deciding some stuff!
