It was almost a normal day at practice with the newest µ's member Yazawa Nico, until she realized µ's lacked dance training. Which brought Umi's grand idea of having Eli as their dance trainer and choreographer. Nico already knew how capable and great Eli was, the other girls however were having a hard time training. Eli was ruthless and hard to all of you to the point Hanayo started crying. She knew it was going to be really hard, after all being and idol is not easy stuff but Nico still felt terrible watching Hanayo cry and decide to put her foot down for their well-being.

"I know we asked you to help us... But she can't move anymore, maybe is time for a little break" It felt weird talking directly to her after too long, God knows how scary Eli could and now she's livid, Nico felt the cold harsh glare of the blonde girl, she can take it, being in the end of her glare wasn't new to her, Nico was already used to it.

"Well... If you really want to be an Idol, then you should try at least to make an effort" Eli looks to the rest of the girls. "If you think this is going to save the school, then let me tell you you're wasting your time." The second year trio were speechless with Honoka looking down feeling ashamed.

"You should just enjoy your time here... This Idol thing... is not going to change the fact the school is closing down!." This time she actually shout and the first year trio are fighting the tears, at least Maki. Rin and Hanayo were sobbing and huddled together.

Nico would be lying if she says Eli's word didn't sting, because they did and Eli probably knew it. With heavy steps she planted herself in front of her, her red eyes staring straight at Eli's cold blue ones.

"I know we aren't great yet... But you can't just walk here and tell us to quit. Not everyone can do pirouettes or fouettes on the first try!" Thanks to Umi it was known Eli was a ballet dancer, even if she didn't dance anymore she still was a hell of a dancer. "So gives us a little break!"

Nico knew she was getting angry, her underclass mates were feeling down all thanks to Eli, she knew she was trying to save the school too but it was unfair the way she was treating them. The last thing Nico needed was getting into an argument with the Student Council President.

"...Well then, practice is over."

Eli gave a small glance to the rest of the girls before storming out, leaving the door open only to find Nozomi with a worried look on her face. "...Nicocchi."

"Not now Nozomi..." It breaks her heart to brush off her childhood friend, but Nico wasn't ready to talk... At least not this time, least of it, to Nozomi.

With aching muscles and sweat running all of her body, Nico found the strength to jump next to the panting body on a comfy bed.

"You know I love our working out sessions" The girl next to her roll onto their side looking at Nico. "...and I don't mind if is intense" she takes a little bit of her hair, caressing it. "But we both know it means one thing." she gets on top of her. "So... spill it out Yazawa" she pokes her nose.

Damn it. This girl knows her better than herself.

She sighs because she knows her mask is futile against her "...is almost the same as always" The taller girl gets off Nico and sits next to her offering her hand to Nico to do the same, she does. "µ's thought it was a good idea to have E- Ayase" Not Eli, Ayase "as our choreographer... Which didn't work out so well..." It couldn't work so well "She said some mean stuff and made my underclass mates cry, then w-we had an argument of sorts, She stormed out and Nozomi, oh God Nozomi, was there..." Her sad and worried face comes to Nico's mind.

Tears started to stream down her face as strong arms envelop her to a warm embrace. "And like always she wants to talk, I can feel it... But I'm not ready to face her. Every time I see her I can't help but feel guilty and ashamed" her petite body started to tremble and soothing words were spoken, but Nico herself was lost in despair. "How can I face my longtime friend when I'm a mess..." The taller girl thumbs wipes Nico's tears. "I just want her to be happy! And she is happy, they both are happy... So why can't I be happy as well? I'm tired of avoiding my dear friend. I'm tired of feeling guilty... I'm just tired of everything."

"I know sweetheart, I know" She kisses Nico all over her face making her giggle. "Now that's a sound I love hearing" Nico gives her a little smile before nuzzling her neck. "...We smell terrible" the other girls laughs loudly. "Of course we are! We've been exercising for hours!" She gets up from the bed and goes to the bathroom. "C'mon squirt! Let's have a warm shower, we both need it." After crying for what it felt like hours Nico manages to give her a huge smile.

"A warm shower sounds wonderful..." She wraps her arms around the taller frame. "Also, thanks for today... I feel so much better now."

"Anytime... I'm here for you." 'And I'm blessed for having you by my side'.

Nico knew that tomorrow might be a bad day, but she was feeling better even if it was only for a night.
