Chapter Text
“Okay! Let's all introduce ourselves! My name is Emu Ootori, Emu means smile! You next, uhhh… green girl!”
“My name is Nene Kusanagi.”
“I'm Rui Kamishiro, I'm friends with Nene. I'm sorry, she isn't the type to talk much.”
“Well, my first name is written with the character for ruling, and second with the character for pegasus. I am Tsukasa Tenma, the soaring pegasus born for success!”
“Hehe, now that we all know each other, let's go look around!~☆”
One day, Emu finds herself roaming alone in the streets. She isn't sure of what she's doing, but she knows she needs to find someone. After walking, walking, walking some more and a bit of questioning, Emu finds herself in front of a hospital. She has already went to many places, a hospital is just another one~
“You can't get what you want until you kill the Wicked Witch of the West!”
It was with this single line that Emu knew something: I need him. She decided to stay by the door until the play ended. No security worker would make her leave!
She watched that play like it was the most important thing in her life right now. Every movement that nameless boy did, she would watch. She watched everything until the last second, focusing on the way the kids would react and how the actors played their role. It was the Wizard of Oz, a story she was more than familiar with.
By the end of the play, she knew everything she needed. The boy's name was Tsukasa. He was an actor volunteering at the hospital his little sister was staying at. She needed to talk to him– but toning down her excitement in a hospital was hard.
“You're Tsukasa, yes? I want you to work with me!!”
“Ah! A fan, I see. But what is that about ‘work’?”
“Hehehe, well… I want to make everyone smile, and you'll help me!☆ I heard you're here to make your sister happier. What if you could make many, many, people happy?”
“I guess my performance really left you speechless, huh? Guess I'll have to accept this deal.”
“Wonderhoy!!!☆ I'll explain you everything you want later~”
Emu managed to successfully recruit that guy! She decided to talk to him for a while, and here's everything she found out about him:
- He's in his first year of high school (a year older than her!!!)
- His sister is the same age as Emu. They're technically in the same school, but she doesn't go to school
- He's helping at the hospital so he can have a bigger chance of becoming a big shot
- He's very self-centered and loves his sister a lot (he didn't say, but Emu noticed it)
He's perfect! Emu finally found the perfect guy to begin her plan: Make the whole world smile.
Emu has been trying to get this dream of hers to work since her grandpa took her to a play in her family's theme park. She needs to keep that stage going, but she doesn't want to begin it half assed. It will be perfect. Amazing even. The Niccori Survey Team! That's the first step of her plan. She'll get a group of people with the same passion for shows as her and look all around the world for what people like. Kids and adults. Chinese and Brazilian. It doesn't matter who or what, everyone will be happy!
And that boy, Tsukasa Tenma was the first one to accept her idea. Maybe Emu could ask his sister what she likes. She was sure that someone who grew up with a dramatic theatre kid (in a positive way) has a vast vocabulary of plays, movies and ideas.
“I'll need your help, Tsukasa. Let's make the whole world smile! Wonderhoy!~☆”
“Eh?!- Won- Wonderhoy?”
“Eh? You said it! My heart feels badum-badum and sparkly! I'll show you around the park!”
Her plan was going to be a success. She was sure of it. It was everything she loves– talking to others and her grandpa's stage. Only a few more people and her team would be complete~☆
