Of course! Thanks! I may think about opening a new thread, drawing several other characters in that style.
Okay, on to bwees-ness. Earlier, I recalled Liza's comment regarding relationships between the ZetaPro idols. So I wrote a small fanfic telling the story of how Momoko and Hikari became fast friends. I prefer to write my fanfics in this particular style, so here goes.
Momoko & Hikari, the Light of Love
It was a warm, clear night in the outskirts of Tokyo. It was near closing time at the ZetaProductions building. President Yashiro Ryuuzaki was just about to finish his paperwork for the day when suddenly…
(Nozomi enters the President’s office holding two idol application sheets)
Nozomi: President?
President: Yes? What is it, Nozomi-kun?
Nozomi: Two more applicants have arrived and are waiting to audition. (hands the application sheets to the President) Here are their sheets.
President: (sigh) Three auditions already today and now we get two more this late in the evening? (chuckles) It seems as though a president’s work is never done. Nozomi-kun, if you would get my camcorder ready in the practice room, please?
Nozomi: Understood sir.
President: And while you are at it, do me a favor and let me speak to the girl with the pink hair. Aida Momoko is her name.
Nozomi: Very well.
(she leaves the office and notices two girls waiting in the lobby—Momoko and Hikari; she walks up to them)
Nozomi: Aida Momoko?
Momoko: Yes?
Nozomi: The president wishes to speak with you now. His office is straight ahead on the left side.
Momoko: (giggles) Thank you!
(she happily skips to the President’s office)
Nozomi: (in her mind) She has spunk, I’ll give her that…but what I really wonder is if she has the talents to match her cute looks.
(Nozomi heads to the practice room to set up the President’s camcorder)
(meanwhile, back in the President’s office)
President: So…(reads Momoko's application)…you are Aida Momoko, age 14, a second-year junior high student from Akihabara. It says here you once worked at a maid café. Is that true?
Momoko: M-hm. That’s right, the prettiest maid in the café! (giggles) Everyone I served loved me because I’m so cute!
President: I…see. Being a café maid, I take it you have a bit of experience performing in front of decent-sized crowds?
Momoko: Yup! I’ve done quite a bit of karaoke and dance covers! Everyone loved me—my fellow maids and my audience—because no one’s as pretty as me! (giggles)
President: And what made you decide to become an idol?
Momoko: I want to be super-cute and super-popular like my idol Hoshii Miki! And I want to show everyone just how pretty I am!
President: (chuckles) I can see you have quite a bit of enthusiasm and self-confidence too. Those are two very good aspects for an aspiring idol. (he gets off his chair) Okay then, now we move on to the audition segment of the interview. Follow me to the practice room, if you will please.
Momoko: Yeah!
(Momoko gets off her chair and follows the President into the practice room, where Nozomi awaits with a camcorder all set up)
President: You have prepared a song and dance routine for your audition, yes?
Momoko: I have! Here’s the CD. (she hands the President a CD case) It’s track number 1.
President: Thank you.
Nozomi: Pardon me, President, but we are running a little short on time. We have to close up in five munites. And we have another girl waiting in the wings.
President: Hmm…that does pose a problem.
Momoko: Huh? Hello? (waves at the President and Nozomi) What about the audition?
President: Pardon me for a minute, Aida-kun…hmm…yes. (to Nozomi) Go ahead and bring her into the practice room. We’ll have them audition together. Here’s her application.
(he hands Nozomi Hikari’s application sheet)
Nozomi: I see. Very well then. (she opens the door) Kasugano Hikari?
Hikari: (immediately stands up from her chair) Yes? That’s me.
Momoko: (her voice can be heard from the practice room) What?! What do you mean we’re going to audition together?!
(Nozomi looks back at Momoko, a bit annoyed)
Nozomi: Pay no attention to that. Would you please come in here? The President wishes to see you.
Hikari: Oh? I’m gonna audition?! Sweet!
(she immediately dashes for the practice room door and enters the room)
Hikari: (waves) Hi! (notices Momoko) Huh? (in her mind) Oh, you think you can show me up, huh? Well, sorry to tell you, sister, but I must get that idol spot no matter what it takes.
Momoko: (in her mind) Why is she so confident? Does she really think she can beat me? I’m much prettier than she ever will be! That idol spot is going to be mine.
(the girls glare at each other)
President: Um…Kasugano Hikari.
Hikari: (surprised a bit) Yes sir!
President: (reads Hikari's application) age 14, second year junior high school student from Nagoya. According to this, it looks like you have a bit of performance history under your belt…you’ve been in a dance team and a rhythmic gymnastics club in your school?
Hikari: Yeah. I’ve been dancing for a while now.
President: Have you ever competed against clubs from rival schools?
Hikari: (hesitates a little) …yeah! That’s the best part of the season!
President: And what made you decide to become an idol?
Hikari: Easy. I love to dance. Plus, I love the thrill of the competition. I know just how competitive the idol world is. I want to be able to perform and find new rivals!
(she starts looking a little unsure of herself, as if there’s something more to her story)
President: I admire your energy. You seem ready for this audition.
Momoko: (looks slyly at Hikari) Ooh, what’s the matter? Scared of my overwhelming cuteness?
Hikari: (looks away from Hikari and crosses her arms, looking a little pouty) I-I’m not scared! I was just…thinking too much, that’s all!
President: Because we are pretty crunched for time, you two will have to audition together. Do you both have a routine you can agree on?
Momoko: (in her mind) Hopefully she knows my song…if she does, I’ve already got the upper hand. (out loud) Hey Hikari-chan, do you know “relations,” the Hoshii Miki song?
Hikari: I am familiar with it actually! A couple of members of my dance team play it quite a bit. (in her mind) Little does she know I watched and studied the dance too. I’ll show her just how skilled I really am.
Momoko: Okay, so we're going to perform “relations.” It’s on the CD I just gave you.
Nozomi: (walking over to the stereo) Track 1, right?
Momoko: That’s right.
President: Okay. Now before we begin, your performance will be recorded for staff purposes only. Is that okay with you?
Momoko and Hikari: Okay.
President: Thank you. Okay, we’re rolling.
(he pushes the record button on his camcorder and gives a high sign to Nozomi; she presses the play button on the stereo)
One duet performance of “relations” later…
(Nozomi presses the stop button on the stereo, stopping the CD; the president presses the record button on the camcorder, stopping the recording)
President: Thank you. We will inform both of you later this week if anything else happens.
Momoko and Hikari: Thank you very much!
(they both exit the practice room, gather their belongings, and exit the office)
One week later…
(outside the office, Momoko happily runs to the office from the north side of the sidewalk)
Momoko: Just wait, Miki-san! I’m going to become as popular as you one day!
(meanwhile, Hikari happily runs to the office from the south side of the sidewalk)
Hikari: Just wait, you guys! I’ll show you I can be just as useful as you are one day!
(as they are running, they suddenly crash into each other and fall to the ground)
Momoko: (rubs the back of her head) Owowow…hey, you’re that girl from the audition!
Hikari: Huh? No way! (gets back up) What are you doing here?
Momoko: (gets back up) I’m heading for the ZetaPro office to see the President.
Hikari: You too? Wait a minute. Don’t tell me you passed your idol audition too!
Momoko: What? You mean we both passed?
Hikari: Looks that way. (chuckles) And here I was thinking I was competing against you for the job and won.
Momoko: Wow, you’re not going to believe this but I thought the same thing!
(they both laugh)
Momoko: Anyway, let’s head to the President’s office. Oh, by the way, I’m Aida Momoko, the prettiest girl in all Japan.
Hikari: And I’m Kasugano Hikari, Nagoya’s princess of dance. Nice to meet you.
(they shake hands)
Hikari: (laughs) Sounds like we’ve already got something in common…our confidence!
Momoko: (laughs) Yeah!
(the girls continue to laugh enter the ZetaPro building, where they meet the President)
President: Ah, good morning you two. I take it you both have received my emails.
Hikari: I did!
Momoko: Me too! I can’t believe we’re both gonna be idols!
President: Yes, you displayed a great amount of potential in your audition, not just in your talents but in your teamwork. You worked so well together despite having just met each other. As idols, building up unity between a unit’s members is equally as important, if not even more so, than training your abilities. That was what made your audition so special.
Momoko and Hikari: Thank you so much, President!
President: You are very welcome. However, just because you passed your audition, you are not technically idols yet. Right now you are just candidates. We will need to find you a producer to manage your careers before you can make your national debut.
Hikari: I knew there had to be a catch to it…
President: Don’t worry, Hikari-kun. I’m pretty sure we will find a good one soon. However, our candidates still have to arrive on Saturdays in order to learn the basics of being an idol and continue to hone their skills so that they’re in tip-top form once they debut.
Hikari: Oh. Okay.
Momoko: I hope my producer will be a handsome young prince who will whisk me away… (she starts to blush)
President: (chuckles) Maybe, but you’ll never know until you meet him. Or her for that matter. Now, practice is going to start soon. Go meet Nozomi-kun over in the practice room. You’ve seen her in the audition, so I’m pretty sure you’re already familiar with her. Good luck.
Momoko and Hikari: Yes! Thank you!
(as the President heads for the office they quickly and excitedly turn to each other)
Momoko: Did you hear that?! We’re gonna be idols!!
Hikari: I know! I’m so happy! (they both hug each other) I think we’re going to become great friends.
Momoko: Hey, let’s exchange phone numbers and emails! This way we can keep in touch! I also got a Facebook account if you have one.
Hikari: Yeah! I’ll friend you once I get the chance! (gets out a pen and paper) Okay, what’s your number?
(as Hikari takes down Momoko’s information, Momoko adds Hikari’s information on her smart phone)
Momoko and Hikari would go on to become the best of friends. While they did live in different parts of Japan, they constantly chat with each other online and on the phone, mainly about school life and practices. Together they eagerly await the arrival of their producer.
It's been a while since I done one of these, but I hope it was detailed enough to know what's going on. Let me know what you think. Feedback and criticism always helps.

I like Momoko's and Hikari's story but I think it would be much better using paragraphs.

Thanks. Glad you like it. When I was setting up relationships between ZetaPro's idols, I wanted to do something a bit different for a couple of them. I've seen people who know each other before becoming pro (i.e. Sakura and Asuka). I've seen people who have become closer as they get to know each other from their days as idol candidates. But for Momoko and Hikari, I wanted it all to start right from the audition line, then have a situation where both of them had to audition together as a kind of test to their teamwork (despite never even knowing each other before--plus, seeing how Momoko wants the spotlight and attention and Hikari is secretly trying to conquer an inferiority complex, it starts off as a bit of a conflict, thinking they have to compete for the idol spot). Glad to see this little tale went over well.
I'll be honest, though, I'm kind of used to writing fanfictions this way (script style), somewhat inspired by another group of artists who use this particular fanfic style. I do see your point, though. I do write paragraphs while doing a story runthrough (i.e. Story Mode routes). This is how I usually write rough copies. Thank you for your opinion. It's just that I'm a bit more comfortable with drawing actual fanfictions like I just did.

I wish I could expire my poll, but I can't for some reason. I only got two votes, but since the vote for Yoshino was cast first, I will run through her Story Mode route next. Now for our loli-meganekko!
Igarashi Yoshino’s Route
Kenji first meets Yoshino at a nearby park. She’s playing around, swinging on the swings, singing to herself, and having herself a fun time. Kenji is quite surprised at her demeanor. From what he can tell, she’s far from the stereotypical meganekko. Rather than being the serious, hard-working type or the soft-spoken, introverted type, Yoshino is very childish, innocent, playful, and all-around happy. As she excitedly runs towards her next destination, she trips over the exposed root of a nearby tree and falls flat on her face, dropping her glasses in the process. Unable to see clearly at all without her glasses, she begins helplessly feeling along the ground to find them. Wanting to lend a hand, Kenji finds Yoshino’s glasses and helps her back up. Luckily, the glasses are just fine aside from a little dirt. Yoshino thinks she brought along her glass cleaner, but it turns out she forgot to bring it along, so she wipes them off with her shirt. Kenji suspects there is still a bit of a typical meganekko aura in her after witnessing her clumsy moments. It seems as though she has both loli and meganekko traits. Yoshino thanks Kenji for helping her. Once Kenji tells her that he is her producer and her debut has been decided, her excitement peaks and begins jumping for joy. As she runs happily along with Kenji back to the office, she runs right smack into the trunk of the tree she tripped over not too long ago. She’s a little shaken up, but still has a ton of energy to burn.
Kenji wonders if Yoshino will switch to contact lenses when performing. Yoshino never even considered wearing contacts, mainly because they feel very uncomfortable. Besides, the dance routines are just fine for regular glasses—nothing too all-out. Kenji is also worried that her clumsy nature might make dancing a bit of a problem for her. Luckily, Yoshino is an avid studier and learns routines rather quickly.
(to be continued)
