Spoilers for episode 1

In Episode 1 Aira was window-shopping in a mall and saw a new store, Prism Stone. She rearranged the mannequins' clothes, which got her scolded by the seller, but she was witnessed by a man later revealed to be Takigawa Jun. While imagining herself as Prism Star, wearing cute clothes, she tried to perform a jump. Meanwhile, a mysterious stranger was in a hurry. The stranger saw Aira daydreaming, and tried jumping to avoid bumping into her.

While Aira landed on her face, the mysterious stranger lost the disguise, and was revealed to be a long-haired girl. She landed on her feet. She helped Aira to stand up and went off.

Jun started talking to Aira, asking her to follow him and dragging her along. He lead her to the backstage of the rink and introduced her to president Asechi Kyoko. He asked Aira to perform instead of Takamine Mion, who refused to come. While Aira was unsure, a girl from before came, introduced herself as Amamiya Rizumu and asked to perform too. Jun agreed and gave them both Prism Stones. Aira was still scared, but Rizumu encouraged her, saying it's her first time on stage too. The girls went to Prism World, changed into costumes and went out on the rink.

Rizumu started dancing, while Aira kept falling. Rizumu tried and failed to perform a Prism Jump, while Aira just stopped trying to stand up. The crowd didn't like small performance, for they were expecting the charismatic model Takamine Mion. Jun shouted at Aira to focus on her clothes, hear the voice of her clothes.

Aira saw her wrinkled clothes and apologized to them, for making them cry. Then she heard the clothes sing, stood up, focused on her clothes' voice, and performed a Prism Jump.

Then she woke up from her trance-state and couldn't stop. She fell down, straight into backstage where Callings were waiting. Sho complimented her and kissed her forehead.

### Helping Rizumu

Spoilers for episode 2

The next day. Rizumu transferred to her class due to the start of new semester. While they more or less got along, there was still tension between them, because Rizumu kept occasionally glaring at Aira.

Rizumu invited Aira to hang out after school. She took her to Harajuku and to Pretty Top dance school. After that, she challenged Aira to a dance battle. Rizumu was amazing, Aira was clumsy.

Turns out, Rizumu was just frustrated by the fact that Aira, an absolute newbie, managed to perform a Prism Jump, while Rizumu trained so much and failed. Her goal is to perform Aurora Rising, the legendary Prism Jump.

Aira and Rizumu were invited to the president's office. Asechi Kyoko told them they'll be working as Mion's stand-ins and will participate in next Prism Show. Rizumu will dance, Aira will Jump.

Rizumu refused to be second-best to Mion. She dropped her hat and ran off. Aira had to return Rizumu the hat and talk to her. She went to Rizumu's home.

After some awkward talk, they started talking about clothes. Rizumu said she likes jerseys because her dad bought her a lot and they're easy to move in. Aira wanted to see all her clothes. She finally did a Pretty Remake to Rizumu, dressing her up in energetic blue outfit.

The two performed a Prism Show. Aira changed into her costume, Rizumu had to use the outfit Aira coordinated for her. Rizumu was supposed to dance, Aira - to Jump. However, Aira was too clumsy and didn't do anything. Rizumu listened to her outfit... and managed to perform a Prism Jump. All thanks to Aira's Pretty Remake.

### Special training

In episode 3, Aira was introduced to her mascot trainer and partner, Mascots. Rabbi-che is a plush toy-looking pink bear. His task was to train Aira to be less clumsy and to get her to learn performing Prism Jumps. Her first trial was going home the long way - Rabbi-che forbidden her from turning right, just for today. Then her task was to practice manzai, making jokes between Prism Jump and Prism Shampoo, much to her family's worry. Then Rabbi-che asked Aira to work in a Chinese restaurant as a waitress. Rizumu and her partner, Bear-chi, experienced similar trials, such as reciting poetry, painting animals. Then she had to work in the same restaurant as chef. One of the customers was Jun. He returned his meal with yet another of his strange riddles - about a "golden seeds that will grow and guide next generation". Mascots explained how something was missing. Aira realized how they forgot to add corn.

Next week, at dance school, they had tests. Rizumu had to accent Aira's outfit. She chose to add a golden jacket, because it reminded her of corn in ramen. She passed the test.

Aira's test was to dance. It turns out, working as a waitress has improved her coordination and balance. Then she had to spin, something she never did before. She didn't know which way to turn, so she remembered Rabbi-che's task not to turn right. By turning left, she managed to do a spin and pass the test.

Next day, after a press conference, Sho came to apologize to Aira and he remade the shirt to her suggestions. While there was still something missing, Sho was really sad.
