Synopsis
While looking around the foyer of the school after class, Chou finds an audition to model for the famous girl's fashion magazine, Smile Lemon Pop. She then encounters Madeline a while later, who says that the audition may lead to a change in destiny?

Summary
While Momo is busy at work with her new job, Chou decides to take a look around the audition hallway, just to fantasize about what she'd be doing if she had the potential to become a real idol. She then comes across the audition board for the Smile Lemon Pop magazine audition, reminiscing about how she used to love the stylish coords from the magazine.

Madeline then notices her, telling her that if she loves the magazine that much, then she should consider taking the audition. She then denies the compliments, telling Madeline that she would never have the courage too, and that she's nothing like a real idol.

Madeline then reassures her that she must be a real idol, because, if she wasn't she wouldn't be going to school at the academy. As a sign of encouragement, Madeline then gives Chou a purple hair ribbon to wear to the audition, telling her that she has to believe in herself to unlock her potential as an idol, before walking off.

Chou then decides to sign up for the audition, but soon after regrets it, with her knees immediately feeling weak, and her feeling dizzy. She decides to keep her feelings bottled up, and puts her new hair ribbon in her hair, feeling like it will give her the confidence she needs to move forward.

She begins to practice, and a montage of her practicing is seen, with 1•2•3 Shine! playing in the background.

As the day of her audition comes closer, she starts having more and more confidence, and, on the day of the audition, she says she feels 100% percent ready to take the audition, even letting her hair loose and wearing the new accessory for the audition.

Unfortunately, due to some previously unnoticed complications, the audition has to be postponed until further notice. Chou gets a little bit down, but then she realizes that the error gives her more time to train and become a real idol again.
