The offer came as such a surprise that Tsunaru seemed to have spaced out in the middle of the director's ramblings on how cute she would look in a lolita outfit or something along those lines. She was violently jolted out of her dremland when she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to face Yamamoto Takeshi's million yen smile. She returned it albeit weakly.

"...I'll let you think about it more, Tsunaru-san." The director concludes, a pleasant smile upon his face as he goes to check in on the footage. Tsunaru and her friends change back into the clothes they had brought along wih them. Gokudera had on a black T-shirt which he wore underneath a red sleeveless hoodie, the hems where the sleeves should be looking rather frayed. Sky blue jeans and red sneakers complete his outfit as he clicks his skull necklaces back in place. Yamamoto was dressed in a casual cyan coloured shirt with two breast pockets on each side of his chest, his shirt remained untucked and he dons black trousers and blue sneakers before slipping on his signature black wristband. Ryohei replaces his costume for his red and white jacket over his white wife-beater, blue shorts and his yellow sports shoes. Hibari changes out of his costume into a casual white button-up shirt underneath a beige cardigan, brown pants and black penny loafers complete his attire.

Tsunaru takes a little longer to change seeing as her stylists insisted that her clothes were too boyish and insisted on her borrowing one of their outfits. Her hair was still slightly wavy and still fell in slight ringlets so it added a nice effect with an orange apple cap that was pulled over her head. A white peasant shirt with the area just below the chest tied with an orange ribbon and the sleeves flaring out complimented Tsunaru's curves quite nicely. A puffy white skirt which stopped short before her knees had two layers underneath, making the girl look more petite than she already is. The orange lace-up sandals ended in bows behind her knees and her school satchel was slung over the embarrassed girl's shoulder.

Giotto was in a white peasant shirt for males and beige pants with white penny loafers, Mochida was dressed in his usual checked shirt over a long-sleeved T-shirt with blue jeans and navy blue sneakers and his kendo equipment slung over his shoulder. Haru was still in her school uniform, seeing as she was not informed of the filming until the last minute, she immediately squeals and coos over how cute Tsunaru is in that outfit. The said girl just blushed cutely under her praise and allowed the girl to coo and flatter her as she took some pictures for the cosplay club.

"For someone as Dame ad as un-cute as you to even be able to step into this place, you must have pulled a lot of strings eh? Dame-Tsunaru." Tsunaru's eyes widen in fear as they landed on someone she had hoped she will never see again, M .M.

"W-What are you doing here, M-M .M-san?" The redhead snorted, taking a few long strides towards the slightly shaking girl, she cups her chin and smirks at Tsunaru's frightened expression. The red head girl was dressed in a white denim jacket underneath a purple shirt accompanied with white jeans and black boots, her clarinet was in it's casing which was slung over her shoulder.

"Did you forget that I belong to a band? No matter, someone as ugly as you would never be able to achieve as much fame as someone fabulous like me." She releases the girls chin, making sure that one of her manicured nails scratched it before sneering at the frightened girl in front of her. She was not-so-pleasantly surprised when two boys, hot ones at that, stepped in front of her. One had the same spiky hairstyle as her victim in her school before the said victim transferred while the other was downright hot with raven black hair and eyes. The only thing which frightened her though was that they were both glaring fiercely at her.

"W-What? Dame-Tsunaru, you've got yourself a couple of gigolos? Are you that desperate for attention?" She stuttered out when both of the glares hardened and tears started pouring out of the brunette's eyes at the insult. Hibari and Gokudera's hand twitched for their weapons while Yamamoto and Ryohei both narrowed their eyes at her sharp and hurtful words.

"T-They're my brothers...!" Tsunaru cried, trying to remedy her tears. Haru pulls the girl into her chest, whispering words of comfort into the slightly sobbing girl's ears. A loud slap was heard and Tsunaru turns her watery eyes to see her adopted sibling slapping her ex-bully so harshly that her head snapped to the side.

"What is wrong with you, you maniacal woman! I should have pulled Tsunaru out of Kokuyo high school earlier if I had known she was suffering under the likes of you!" Mochida growls, his eyes ablaze with fury and barely contained blood lust.

M .M was stunned, not only was this the first time a boy had slapped her but it was also by the infamous kendo-captain of Namimori High and the idol whom she had longed to meet. She was silent for a moment, her bangs shielding her eyes as M .M's head remains to the side before she lifts her head in an arrogant manner. She sneers at the group in front of her, folding her arms as she ignores the stinging pain on her left cheek. "I, M .M, challenge Sawada Tsunaru to a 'Trial'." She announced loudly.

The reaction was immediate, the crew and stylists all gasped as they all stared at the above mentioned girls in shock. A 'Trial' is a simple challenge between two stars, they compete in a competition decided by the director, it could be anything having to do with entertainment like singing, acting, dancing and even some dangerous stunts. The rules are simple, both competitors do as the theme suggests and the one who gets the most votes from the public is the winner. The loser will have to do whatever the winner says for a whole week and no one is to help him or her without getting severe punishment.

Director Akizawa is M. m's most trusted and most favored director as no one knew her strengths and weaknesses like he does, so it was no wonder that the redhead picked him to choose the theme for the trial and set the dates as well. "From what I've heard, M. M attends Kokuyo high and Tsunaru-san attends Namimori high, am I correct?" The director asks, they were all currently seated in the director's neat office, at the table with cups of tea in front of them, each one going cold because no one was interested in the beverage.

He smiles when he receives nods from the stars before he continues his sentence. "And a joint cultural festival is to be held there right? Why not we hold a concert then, and let the two student bodies wote for their favourite performer?" Affirmative nods were met with a pleased director's smile and he dismisses them all from the office.

"What will I do...?" Tsunaru sighs, running a hand through her hair. It was already the next day and school was in session, seeing as Nezu was absent because of a bone fracture caused by unknown reasons. (Cough GUARDIANS cough) Gokudera had to go re-stock his dynamite supply, whatever that meant. Yamamoto had baseball practice and Ryohei was training for a match next week. She was left with her brother, Mochida and her four girl friends.

"Tsunaru-chan, it is allowed for other classes to participate for the concert right?" Haru asks eagerly, Tsunaru blinks out of her trance and nods her head once, nibbling on an onigiri. "Well then, why not get Adelheild and Midori-chan to help you!" Tsunaru turns to face them, her face questioning.

Midori glomps the girl, cooing and rubbing her cheek against the brunette's own. "Of course I'll help! Just tell me what to do, Tsunaru-chan." Adelheild was shocked at first but nods her consent anyway, a soft smile adorning her face. Haru cheers as Lal continues to munch on her sandwich, not really caring about the situation but rather worried for the brunette.

"I-I actually wanted to dance... and sing for the concert..." Tsunaru said shyly, her hand going into her satchel to pull out a neat thin stack of paper. "I even wrote the lyrics and music myself." She smiles proudly, obviously pleased with the end product. Haru and Lal peeks at the lyrics, reading the title aloud.

"Moonfesta?" Tsunaru nods eagerly before she explains the story behind the song.

"It's about a princess who gets to meet her lover every once in a full moon, her people celebrate this lovely reunion with a festival, hence the title moonfesta. The princess and prince dance the night away as a symbol of their love." She ends off the story with a sigh, a slight blush adorning her features. Haru squeals at the cute image and pounces on the soon flustered girl.

"That was so romantic desu~ Don't worry! Haru and Lal will definitely help you win this contest!" Tsunaru smiles gratefully at the aforementioned pair and picks up her silver tambourine, ready for practice. Haru picks up her flute and Lal her violin, all three girl grin at one another before they started playing their instruments.
