*all is well outside the city of Aekea until i hear a bunch of chipmunks scratching a window! what's that horrible racket?!*

selene: in the middle of the night...

*oh, it's just selene. well, she's not the best singer (she's actually the worst in all of Gaia), but she thinks she'll make it into the Famestar 2000 competition despite them turning her away numerous times! give up, will ya?!*

selene: oh piss off, stupid narrator!

*fine! jeez, i didn't think it would be a big deal for her. just then, yukiko walks in with a glass and...*

selene: AAAAHHHHH!!!

*the glass breaks and yukiko is furious*

yukiko: *desperately controlling her rage* what the hell was that?

selene: i'm practicing for the Famestar competition!

yukiko: i thought they wouldn't accept you because you have no ticket and you can't sing.

selene: i can sing!

yukiko: that little interlude just now told me you can't. just give up and stop breaking the glass! *walks away. selene is saddened, but she's not going to give up! oh God...*

selene: *is making a futile attempt to sing post-Grunge music. oh c'mon! that's one of my favorite genres! how dare she defile it!! just then, luna-teichou, lucian-teichou, and hideo come in and when they hear her, their hair becomes spiky and they struggle to keep balance*

luna: what are you doing, selene?

selene: practicing for the Famestar competition!

lucian: i thought they kicked you out.

selene: well that's why i'm practicing! what do you think, hideo?

hideo: *is struggling to form a sentence that will tell her she should give up while not setting her off* um, i think that--

selene: you think i'm the best, don't you?!

hideo: ...

selene: don't you?!

hideo: ... *anytime now* selene, i know you have other talents, but i don't think singing is your forte.

selene: what?

hideo: i think you should think of other things you might be good at. but singing is not your thing. *the three walk away*

selene: *shouts after them* fine! if that's how you feel about it, then when i become famous, i'll make sure that the public thinks you're the worst people in the world!

???: what are you doing?

selene: *turns to see eric* i was practicing but they interrupted me.

eric: i thought they won't let you in.

selene: why does everyone keep saying that?

eric: because it's true. now, let me hear you (i'm going to regret this, aren't i?)

selene: okay! *proceeds to sing Ikimono-Gakari. just a minute into the song...*

eric: stop!!

selene: *stops* you don't like it, either?

eric: don't take this completely wrong, but i think your singing is acutely impaired.

selene: acutely impaired?

eric: you should go hear himeko. i'm sure she'll give you some pointers. *gets up and leaves*

*selene, thinking about what eric said to him, goes to find himeko. she is conveniently located in the ship's recording studio (they have a recording studio?), where Ryd is recording her singing Chasing Pavements and mamoru is watching his love. himeko charms all, including the uber-intelligent supercomputerized AI that is Ryd and selene is desperate to ask her how she's able to sing so well. unfortunately for her, mamoru is able to notice and when himeko finishes, she takes her far away from selene, beginning a Gaia-wide chase for just a few pointers*

*...okay, so it wasn't Gaia-wide, but I needed something extremely dramatic*
