1-3: My First Fan

## Level Summary

Nina tells Thia about the 'Ari-Selection Audition,' where people get to compete in order to meet Meryl.

## Story

### Start

**Nina:** Let me explain. The Ari-Selection Audition is held regularly. It's organized by Kate, a member of Meryl's Unit.

**Toni:** It's a weird name...Oh, It's like 'Aries' and 'Selection,' right?

**Nina:** Right. So many people wanted to get close to Meryl, they came up with this to make things easier.

**Thia:** So if you pass the audition, you get to meet Meryl, is the how it works?

**Nina:** You don't just get to meet her, you get a chance to challenge her Princess outfit too. It's not something to rush into if you don't have faith in your abilities.

**Thia:** Princess outfit...? That sounds cool!

**Toni:** Don't get ahead of yourself - you don't even have any **fans** yet. Concentrate on that first.

**Thia:** Aw, now I want to know about it more than ever. So what should I do to get **fans**?

**Toni**: First of all, get more people to check out your outfits and impress them with your skills. **Tokimeki** is created from genuine human sentiment. You can't get it any other way.

**Nina:** Ever since the meteor shower, all the planets are suffering from a lack of **Tokimeki**. Here on Aries it isn't too bad, but there are places out there that have taken serious damage. We all rely on **Tokimeki** for so much, I don't know what we'd do if we lost it completely.

**Thia:** I see... No wonder it's so important for CocoDolls to create more.

**Nina:** By the way, the bubbles you see floating around here are something similar to **Tokimeki**. But they're not pure enough or something, so they can't be used as an energy source.

**Toni:** It's the same for the edge of Cocoroa or a big planet like Aries. They all need **Tokimeki** to support them. Do you see now how important your job is?

**Nina:** Why do you always have to be so serious, Toni?

**Toni:** I-I'm simply trying to encourage Thia to have a little common sense.

**Nina:** Don't get so hung up on it. Meryl's motto is 'follow the rules but ignore common sense!'

**Toni:** But that makes no sense...

**Nina:** Heehee. Say, Thia. If you like I can check your outfit for you again. Every little bit helps to give you more experience, right?

**Thia:** That's a great idea! Toni, what kind of outfit do you think should I use here?

**Toni:** Rather than trying to be special, it's better to think about what the other person wants.

**Nina:** Well, I'm from Aries, and most of us here love **beauty** and anything that's pretty.

**Thia:** Oh, right - it's the planet of freedom! Maybe I'll go with the **unisex** look I tried before.

### End

**Nina:** Nice! You're definitely improving.

**Thia:** Wow, really? I'm glad you think so!

**Toni:** Not bad. You've done a good job of working in what you learned from watching Meryl.

**Thia:** Yay, a real compliment!

**Toni:** A-All I'm saying is that it's a little better than before.

**Nina:** Aw, come on. Just 'a little better' wouldn't have been enough to make me a **fan**.

**Thia:** Wait, what? Nina, did you mean that...?!

**Nina:** Would I lie to you? I'd love to see more of your outfits. Consider me your first **fan**!

**Thia:** Wow, thank you! Toni, I have a **fan**!

**Toni:** Yes, yes, I know, I'm right here. Congratulations, you did a good job.

**Thia:** Yay! Thanks, Toni!

**Nina:** You two make a great team. You kind of balance each other out.

**Toni:** I-I don't know what you mean...!

**Nina:** Sure, sure. Want to head on over to the **Stage**, Thia?

**Thia:** Yeah, of course!

**Nina:** Okay. Give it your best shot - I'll be rooting for you!

**Thia:** My first **stage**... I'll do my best!
