Synopsis
Rimi is heading off to her classroom one day wondering about making a debut until she falls and injures her knee. A young boy with pink hair finds her and manages to take her to the nurse's office. Rimi thanks the young boy and when she returns home, she couldn't stop thinking about him. The next day, Rimi noticed the same boy and thinks that he is cute, but what she saw was that another boy was bullying him. This causes Rimi to burst out of anger and tells the bully that if he doesn't quit it, she will tell the Headmistress about it. The bully runs away and Rimi notices what happened to her; when she is about to run, the boy was quick enough to catch her. He thanks her for defending him and it turns out, he is Reona West from Dressing Pafé. Rimi tells Reona her fear of messing up at a debut and he decides to take her to PriPara. Meanwhile, when they arrive, Vanilla stops by and gives her a jar of pickled plums (aka. Red Flash) to Sophy. Rimi agrees and when she gives Sophy the plum, she receives her autograph in return. Reona also kisses Rimi's cheek, which makes Rimi realize that she might feel more confident to make a debut. Sophy and Reona were invited to watch Rimi's solo and when she finished, she felt proud of herself as Miki and Ruby congratulate her. Vanilla suggests that they form a team, but when Ruby is about to give a full PriTicket to Miki, she accidentally snaps the ticket and Ruby collapses.
