Miyukin spots Megu!

Miyuki slumped back into her seat, yawning. Another long shift at her lemonade stand was over, and with the amount of money she had saved up, she should be able to pay off her mother’s hospital fees completely. Smiling, she looked up at the sky, which was always clear thanks to Akibastar’s weather-control system. Almost there. In a few days, I’ll know…I’ll know whether I made it or not. 

In her reverie, she almost missed an extremely familiar person walk by. Snapping to attention, her eyes widened. “Megu? You’re Megu, right? I’d know you anywhere! You’re part of the 76th generation kenkyuusei!” Miyuki leapt up and over her stand, scrambled around in her pockets for pen and paper to get an autograph, and then stopped as she realised how rude she was being. “A-ah. I’m sorry, I haven’t even introduced myself yet. I’m Takahashi Miyuki, and I auditioned for the 78th generation.” She extended her hand, grinning widely. “Nice to meet you! Hope we get to be fellow members!”
