I didn't mind changing into the clothes we bought, but… Isn't this a dance hall? And it's full of girls in dresses. What's going on?

They're holding an audition for the ball here today! A girl I met in town told me about it the other day.

An audition?!

The princess loves dancing, so she wants lots of people to attend, but it's simply impossible to invite everyone. That's why she's holding an audition, I hear.

Just make it through this and you'll be able to see Chika!

So that's it, huh! Let's pass the audition together and go to the ball!

Okay! I'll try my very b—

Ah, you there! Wait a second! The ribbon on your back's about to come undone!

Huh? Me? …Ack! You're right.

Just hold still and I'll tie it for you. Nozomi, could you hold that there for me?

Sure!

I'll tie it nice and tight so that it won't come undone… There, all done!

Xiè xie! Thanks, both of you!

You're welcome. I've fixed the ribbon with a pin, so you can dance your heart out and not worry about it.

Squee! Thanks! By the way, what's your name? Since you're wearing a dress, you must be here for the audition, right?

That's right! I'm Emma.

I'm Nozomi. Nice to meet you.

It's a pleasure to meet you two. My name's Lanzhu! Did you both come to the ball to be the number one dancer?

No, I promised to meet a friend at the ball.

And I wanted to meet that friend too, so I came to the audition with her.

Squee! I see. Going to the ball to meet a friend, huh? How wonderful!

The audition for the ball will now begin. We judges will move around the room to observe your performances. Please feel free to dance however you'd like.

Wait, I feel like I've seen that person somewhere before…

Well, here we go! The judging has begun, so I've gotta take center stage and show my stuff!

I wanna make friends with the girl you two were talking about too! Let's all pass the audition and head to the ball!

All right then, let's have some fun dancing!

Those three look like they're having such a fun time dancing! Everyone's eyes are glued to them… *Giggle* I've already picked the first winners!

[Fade in/out.]

Yesss! We all passed!

Good job, Emma. Now you can go see Chika!

Yeah! I'm so happy!
