## Start

Alice fortunately made it backstage in time to catch her breath, until she finally fully put together what just happened at that brand's booth. *What a strange fellow*. She looked at the cards that were given to her, only to raise an eyebrow. "I don't really remember them being... this desaturated? But it is still cute... I do like sepia!"

It's not like she could suddenly switch from this new coord either; she still only had her Vesper coord - which she needed to do something about that later - and didn't want to repeat outfits so soon. "I guess all I can do is hope for the best and make the most out of it..." she started her way to Heaven's Gate, now that Lucia had finished up and Noel's video was almost done.

"There's nothing left to it so... **let's party!**"

## Performance

*Compared to what most believe the pop "style" was, this stage was actually quite reserved. It appeared as a worn out library, but... there seem to be some oddities hidden about the stage. Nonetheless, the show must go on- as the song began, the stage lighten up a bit, both literally and metaphorically alongside Alice's face. Continuing tradition from her entry exam, the song started with a small bit of scat; while small, it was much more confident this time around.*

I counted down to it on my fingers, and meet it with open arms -- today,

Right now I can even see the days we met, just hazily.

Layers piling up vividly

for all the scenes we saw together--

our sweet days, breaking into colour

*Compared to her first performance, Alice sounded more vibrant, even if it was only a month since she's been here. Some color also began to leak into the stage, via her weak creamish aura with little specks.*

Even the days when I stained the canvas

with a depressing violet

*Alice made a sad face; she might not be an actor, but her improv has improved slightly too. Soon after, though, she brightened back up with a wide, genuine smile.*

I simply believed in my 88 crayons, and drew on!

*"Even if no one sees it now... it's truly is fun being an idol!"*

*Soon, the stage couldn't even hold it's excitement anymore; sections of the stage turned much more vibrant than before, like spotlights revealing the stage's true nature. Alice's aura also evolved; the specks warped into small bolts of static, with a few becoming small gold retro-styled watches.*

Miracle showtime! Stepping one step at a time

through this shoddy story of ours, that I had always dreamt of.

There were times when I tripped and I cried

But through all of them, I could hear the sound of your heart.

*A small dance and scat break was after the chorus, though most of it was just Alice letting go and having fun, tapping about to the rhythm. Some of the stage's trinkets also hopped about in rhythm.*

Miracle showtime! Stepping one step at a time

through this shoddy story of ours, I had always dreamt of.

Progressing on and on, now try looking back--

What can kind of scenery can you see?

*"This almost feels... so right!*"

*Without even thinking, in contrast to her last performance, Alice finally performs her first appeal, Pop Brume, in full. She, however, did seem to realize it in the moment and kept going on as normal.*

Miracle showtime! What dreams shall we draw

next on this still unseen canvas?

I’ll always be never forgetting, so it’ll all be ok.

A never-ever fading

*A small pause in her singing as she simply dance for a couple of seconds, before holding her hands out the audience."*

“I love you!”

*After a final bit of dance and scat, the stage comes to a close with a final splash of color illuminating the area around Alice and her final pose.*

## End

While the audience wasn't anything as loud as other's performances (or even Kotone's, as she had additional exposure), she still received a good applause from the audience, with some commenting the performance was "fun".

"Everyone, **thank you** for your support!" Alice gave her thanks in her own way after bowing.

*Huh, this brand's pretty fun! Maybe I'll drop by that guy's booth again later!*
