Afterglow/Band Story/Chapter 6

What can I do?
*The girls meet to discuss Girl Jam, but Tsugumi is staring to doubt her abilities...*

 After Practice
 Studio Lobby
**Tomoe**I know we're all excited, and practice is very important, but we should probably work out the details of our set, too.**Moca**Sounds boring~. I'll leave you kids to it~.**Himari**No you won't! This is something we all need to discuss together.**Tomoe**... Looking at this lineup, there are gonna some fairly well-known bands performing with us.**Tomoe**Like these guys here. There are rumors they're about to start their major debut soon.**Tsugumi**That is amazing... I bet they're all really talented performers, too... I wonder if I'll be okay...**Moca**Tsugu~, you're worrying too much~.**Ran**The event may change, the location may be new, but we'll always be performing the same as always.**Tomoe**Exactly. ... Now, about our set list for the show...**Tsugumi**(Wow... Everyone's talking through all the details already... I have to try not to get left behind...)**Tsugumi**(But I'm just not as good a performer as the others... I can't even bring everyone together like Himari-chan does... What exactly can I do...?)**Tsugumi**......**Himari**Tsugu? Hello~? Tsugu~?**Tsugumi**... Ah?! I-I'm sorry! Was I daydreaming?**Moca**Yup. You were even more out of it than me~.**Ran**You must be tired, Tsugumi. We don't have to do this today. We can pick it up again-**Tsugumi**I-I'm fine! I'm really fine, honestly! Hehe, I'm sorry. I was just thinking to myself, that's all. Come on, let's go through the set list!**Ran**... If you're sure. So, for the second and third songs, I was thinking...**Tomoe**... All right, we've decided on the set list, then. Next rehearsal, we'll go through all the songs and see how it all comes together.**Ran**Okay. Himari, don't forget to bring the details for our contact at Girl Jam.**Himari**Ah... I had completely forgotten...**Moca**What a great leader you are, Hii-chan~.**Tomoe**... Moca.**Moca**Sorry~.**Tomoe**Don't get so down, Himari. We still have plenty of time to send back our reply. Just let us know if we can help, okay?**Himari**Uuu, thank you...**Moca**Hey, I heard that big record companies send people to Girl Jam, y'know~. Some bands even get scouted right then and there~.**Tomoe**Now that you mention it, I think I saw some industry types around last time I was there.**Himari**Fufu~, so you're saying we might get scouted too? "You kids, you've got just the sound we're looking for. Wanna sign up?", that kinda thing?!**Tomoe**Y-you sure bounced back quick, Himari...**Himari**And then, and then! We make our major debut and start our new super rich and famous future~!**Ran**Our future...**Tomoe**Haha. That's probably going a little far, Himari. I doubt that'll all happen from one show.**Himari**Really~? You never know, though! This event might be the start of something huge. We might look back on it from our giant mansions one day!**Tomoe**One day... I've never really thought about where we'll end up with all of this.**Ran**......**Tomoe**I guess a big break isn't out of the question. Haha.**Ran**... I want us to be like this. The five of us, in our band. I'm not interested in making it big.**Tomoe**Ran...**Moca**......**Tomoe**I think I agree. As long the five of us are together, I want us to stay just the way we are.**Himari**Fufu. I agree too, you know! I mean, it would be nice to be super famous, but the most important thing is being here with you guys!**Tsugumi**I think so too!**Ran**... I just want to focus on what's next. The event. No talk of debuts, or the future...**Moca**Yup. I just wanna focus on literally right now. We're having fun, and that's fine by me, hehe~. Isn't that right, Ran?**Ran**Not what I said.**Moca**Hehehe~.**Tomoe**(Moca really is good at handling Ran. ... It was stupid of me to talk about the future like that.)**Tomoe**(... Even so, Ran. All this talk of futures and the problems you have at home... How much longer are you gonna keep it to yourself?)**Tomoe**(You have all these great friends around you, bonds 10 years strong, and still...)
