Chapter Text
The ginger opened her eyes. She was in a black room. It was tiny. It could only fit around four people inside.
That’s funny, I thought I was sleeping at home…
Honoka felt around her body. It was still there, but the clothes she wore to bed weren’t on her. Instead, she was wearing this full body jumpsuit. It was white, and there were orange lines running around her body. The lines looked like there was some kind of energy flowing through them.
“Man, this is boring…” the girl grumbled. Honoka wanted to go back to sleep. There was nothing to do in this boring room. Also, it had this strange smell. Ozone, probably. It was a little chilly inside.
The room suddenly started to change. It increased in size and began to change color and shape. Before Honoka knew what was going on, she was on the stage where the School Idol Festival took place. The sky was beautifully clear, just like on that day.
God, that was years ago… My heart is still beating from all of the adrenaline!
Nobody was there but herself, and one other girl who was standing in front of the stage.
The girl was also ginger, much like Honoka. But unlike Honoka, she was a little shorter, her eyes were crimson instead of blue, and wore some hairclips. The strand of hair on top of her head bobbed around as the girl tried to see where she was. Oddly enough, she also was wearing a bodysuit with orange stripes on it.
Red eyes met blue ones and the stranger looked stunned.
“If this is a dream I don’t want to wake up,” she said to herself.
Honoka walked towards her and hopped off the stage.
“K-Kousaka Honoka?!”
Honoka was happy. A fan in her dreams. The legacy of µ’s still lived on, even though they disbanded so long ago. Their success was so huge, a great amount of school idol groups became more prominent, which ended up allowing more Love Lives to be held.
Something about this girl was familiar though.
“Hiya!” Honoka greeted.
The stranger blushed furiously.
“It’s so nice to meet you, Kousaka-san!”
The girl bowed.
“Woah, no need for formality. Just call me Honoka!”
“My name is Takami Chika!” the girl said.
Honoka smiled. The both of them walked down the street as casually as possible.
“Hey, Honoka?” Chika asked after strolling for a while.
“Wha?”
“Why are both of us wearing the same outfit?”
The gears in Honoka’s head started to turn.
“Now that you mention it, everything here seems to be a lot like a dream.”
Chika put her finger on her chin.
“I know that I went to sleep tonight,” she stated.
“So did I.”
Chika’s cheeks flushed.
“Wait, so are you saying you’re having the same dream as I am?”
Honoka paused.
That could be possible. No, wait, what am I thinking?!
“Okay, before either of us wake up,” Chika rambled. “I need to tell you my cell so that you can contact me later.”
“Are you sure that will work? This is a dream.” Honoka asked with a doubtful expression on her face.
The stripes on their clothing looked like they were dimming.
“Why are our clothing becoming darker?” Chika asked.
“I don’t think that’s good.” Honoka said.
Chika shouted her phone number as fast as possible.
And of course, because of Honoka’s dumb luck, she woke up. Honoka looked around her room. The same room that has housed her as a child. She stayed home to help out at the family bakery after µ’s disbanded. Honoka stared at her phone.
Chika’s number was practically burned into her head for some reason.
So it was a dream.
She sent a quick text to Chika’s phone number.
Honoka: hello?
Chika: who dis
Honoka: honoka
Chika: oh god it worked
