Hmm… What am I gonna do for the solo event? You got any ideas?

We should do something that's really Ai-ish, right? When I think of you, I think of someone who surprises people and then puts a big grin on their faces.

*Laugh* Seriously? That's the impression I give you?

It is. I mean, remember when we went to karaoke a while ago? We were all shocked at how many people came from other schools, but then even Kanata and Kasumi had a blast.

Oh, was that a thing?

Uh, yeah! It might be normal for you, but I think it's amazing how you can just make friends with anyone.

Oh, now there's an idea! I wanna make a ton of friends at my solo event!

Wait, huh? What do you mean?!

Anyone who comes to see me is good in my books! They're all “Friends of Ai”!

I wanna be friends with everyone who comes to cheer me on, and I wanna put a smile on each and every one of their faces!

That's perfect! And how about we come up with some kind of token of friendship for them?

Oh my gosh, that is such a good idea! It's like, anyone who carries it is a Friend of Ai!

But what's a good way to do it? It's gotta be something you can walk around with.

Oh, I totally agree! It's gotta be something you just get a glimpse of and immediately tell that they're a Friend of Ai.

Oh, what about a button badge? You could put it on your shirt, or your bag, or anywhere you want!

That's perfect! I'll start working on them!

Wait, you mean by hand?! You're not gonna make one for everyone who shows up, are you?

Sure am! I'm great with my hands. Besides, I'll do anything if it's for them!

*Giggle* Now I'm really pumped for this! But a regular ol' badge would be kinda boring, so I'm gonna put some super-special artwork on each and every one of them!

Ai, that's perfect! I know everyone will love it! If there's anything I can help with, just let me know.

You got it! And you bet I'm gonna take you up on that offer. Now let's get drawing!

[Fade in/out.]

Phew! I think that'll be enough for everyone. I'm glad we worked so hard every day.

Same. I couldn't have done it without you. I sure hope these love-filled badges will make all those new friends of mine happy badgers, if you get what I'm saying!

I'm sure more people will want to join in if they know they're gonna get a badge filled with love.

There's something I wanna do if I get more fans, though.

And that is?

I wanna go camping with everyone! We'll wear our badges, make dinner together, put up a tent, hang out, build a campfire, and I can sing for everyone too.

Geez, now I can't stop thinking about it! I wanna practice some camp songs! You wanna hear?
