The nine girls from Aqours finished being idols and have gone to work on their future.

The first years had much more creative futures, if Riko was to describe it. Yoshiko was always an avid gamer, which everyone thought was nice to do but thought that Yoshiko should have a real main job. However, Yoshiko's competitiveness paid off and she was now sponsored by a big eSports team for her fighting game skills, especially with Street Fighter. She was also balancing this with college.

Ruby's path was in tandem with Hanamaru's. The latter was surprisingly a full-fledged idol. Who knew that the least outgoing person would be able to continue being an idol? It made sense since Hanamaru was in the choir club, so she had the most experience. But, it was surprising nonetheless. The young red-headed girl was along for the ride. Ruby thought that she would have to help Dia with the duties of the house, but was surprised when her parents told her that she could do anything she wanted. So, Ruby was drawn to be a seamstress. She was now alongside her best friend and making her costumes. And only the group and their families knew that Ruby and Hanamaru were dating, and they were both extremely happy.

Dia and Mari were finished with business school, and were both preparing for the future of the Kurosawa and Ohara family. The two girls were dating, and were afraid of telling their parents. However, the families were in full support of the relationship. They were happy that the girls were able to be happy, but they explained that they were also supportive of this relationship because the two families being bonded would help financially. They were reluctant at first, but the families assured them that they wouldn't pressure them. They did care about the family business, but what came first was their daughters' happiness.

Kanan's was much simpler. She had to take care of her father's shop, which was gaining a lot more business because of Kanan's Aqours fame. So, she went to the same business school as Dia and Mari to learn the ins and outs of being a shop owner. It would put less strain on her parents, and she found it a bit fun, especially as she was with her best friends. She didn't mind being the third wheel; she was happy that her two best friends were so happy.

You was a natural athletic girl, and she had many sports scholarships for her superb swimming. She was also good academically, so she was offered many different scholarships for many different schools. She took the one that was closest to her home, as she didn't want to be too far away from the sea she loves.

Chika didn't go to college immediately. She didn't have too much drive to head straight to college. So, she was helping around the inn. Like Kanan's dive shop, the inn has gotten a lot of publicity thanks to Chika's involvement in Aqours. So, having an extra hand helped the entire family. She soon found something that she wanted to do; be a school teacher. More specifically, a kindergarten teacher. She wasn't the brightest girl, even she knew that. But, if she put her mind to it, she felt like she could be a great teacher. She also liked dealing with kids, as she felt like her mind could help her understand the children. So, after a year of working at the inn, she went and started to go to teacher's college.

Riko was going to a college that focused more on arts. She had many different hobbies like cooking or drawing. She was excited for her drawing major. She liked to draw, and she had some ideas for a manga with how occupied she was with her fan fiction books. However, her love of the piano never died. So, she focused mostly on that. It was very enjoyable, as she was able to focus on music, something that never left her mind ever since Aqours was formed. She was also able to help Hanamaru compose songs for her idol career, and was getting paid a hefty amount. She liked the money, but she also enjoyed spending time with Hanamaru and Ruby. She was also able to go to many piano recitals, as the school she went to had many auditions for representatives of her school. She was luckily able to go to many, as her skills have improved significantly thanks to her schooling.

It was one of these recitals that Riko would have her life changed.

A/N: Another fic! This time, multi-chaptered instead of a one-shot! I'm working hard on the following chapters, as I have a good idea as to where I want this story to go.

Please follow and favourite if you like it, and leave short or (preferably) lengthy reviews with praises or criticisms. I want to keep learning about writing and how I can improve, so don't be afraid to be brutal. Just no blatant hatred. I want positivity, not some troll.

Thanks for Reading!
