Rising Stars! Rise to the Top!

"What?" said Micheal as she patted her body and could see that this wasn't a dream. She lay in the bed for a long time trying to figure out what she should do. Eventually she digs around for clothes and then got into an elevator. She knew that if any answers were going to be given then it be from Eric.

*Rick awakens groggily to find himself still a girl.* "Great...might as well find some clothes and go downstairs to eat." Rick said doing all of the necessary things to get ready, and after deciding on some loose fitting green shorts and a matching green top and shoes, and then goes downstairs to hopefully meet with the president of the company.

By some miraculous stroke of luck, all four girls managed to get into the elevator before the doors closed. A short wait later, and they were at ground floor of the hotel, where they were almost instantly guided by two men in shades and business suits to what must have been the hotel's restaurant. There, an enormous breakfast buffet filled with all kinds of delicious foods awaited them, along with a man they had waited an entire night to meet... President Eric Taylor!

"Ah, welcome, welcome! I know you probably all have questions for me to answer, but please, get some food before you start asking. You don't want it to get cold, do you?" The young man said warmly, a big smile on his face.

[Maiden Miki]

"How about you first answer our question? Like why the heck do I have these?" asked Micheal as she pointed to her chest.

[Harri-chan]

Katherine didn't recognise the three girls in the elevator, but found herself folding her arms across her chest, as if she could hide how inferior her curves were to these older females. Only when one stepped out and confronted Eric over the apparent surprise addition of boobs did things click into place. Her eyes widened as she looked around at the trio, and then down at herself. "What have you done to us?!", she asked, her voice full of panic now that she realised this had all been planned by him.

*Jasper looks around at the others, also reaching the conclusion that these must be the other winners from yesterday.* Y-yeah! How'd this happen?

[Hira Kanaki]

"I have a feeling it has something to do with those pens." Rick said.

[Mystic Mina]

"Like I said, you're all part of the greatest, most influential experiment of the century! You see, we created technology that allows us to... Well... 'Shape' people into whatever we please, and we needed a way to test just how effective it could be. I was the first to try it out. I was an overweight, balding old bag before, but look at me now! I'm young, I'm strong, and I'm pretty darn handsome if I do say so myself!" Taylor, the smile on his face growing even wider, proudly thumped a fist against his chest. "But we needed more testing, and that's where you all come in. If you win this music battle with the perfect bodies we've given you, then we'll know that our technology is a success!"

[Harri-chan]

Katherine's expression suggested she didn't agree with him about her body being perfection. "Then why did you do THIS to me?", she demanded, putting her hands on her small hips, and looked down over her slim figure. "How is this going to help?". She was blushing brightly, looking over her new bandmates bodies jealously.

B-but, why make us women?

[Maiden Miki]

"Yeah. You could have made us some sort of mix gender band or something. All boy band with handsome looks," said Micheal as she pouted.

[Hira Kanaki]

"Wait could this mean that it was an all girls band battle thing?" Rick said.

[Mystic Mina]

"No, it's not an all girls battle, but we've done some studies into the science behind pop music. From what we figured out, audiences today actually prefer all girl bands over all boy bands or mixed gender bands. ALSO, if any of you have watched those talent shows on TV recently, you'd know that people absolutely love it when young people go up on stage, which is why our darling Katherine here is younger then the rest of you." Taylor let out a sigh after finishing his explanation. "Now, are there more questions, or can we eat? I don't know about you four, but I'm starving!"

A-are we gonna be stuck like this?

[Harri-chan]

Katherine gave him a scrutinizing look as he offered his explanation, her head tilting slightly to one side when he went over the reason for her being younger than the boys-turned-girls. "Hmph... ", she muttered, and moved towards the buffet tables, picking up a plate before she started to fill it with food. "That's true... but... why me? I'll never pass as a believable teenager... I'm nearly thirty... ".
