backstage can be heared voices, talking about if they would be the very first trainees to arrive

and they're totally right with their assumption

WANG LIAN | YUHEUA: ella unnie, we're all alone here-

ELLA HWANG | YUEHUA: i know, but there will come in more trainees, lian

WANG LIAN | YUEHUA: i hope so, hopefully there will be some more chinese trainees as well

EUN CHANI | YUEHUA: lian acting like a baby again

ELLA HWANG | YUEHUA: chani please, our coaches at yuehua would scold you tho-

EUN CHANI | YUEHUA: alright i got it, i'll be quiet now

the girls from yuehua are sitting down together and quietly continue to talk, until they hear new voices

YOO SUNHEE | STARSHIP: unnie, do you think there will be trainees from the big 4?

HONG JIYOO | STARSHIP: i don't think so sunhee, i heared that here will only participate trainees from smaller companies

KIM YASHI | STARSHIP: do y'all think the members of wjsn, monsta x or cravity will watch all of our performances?

YANG JENA | STARSHIP: honestly i hope they won't do so, or else they will watch each of my mistakes-

IM SOYEON | STARSHIP: c'mon y'all, they will watch our performances to support all of us

soon after the statship girls sat down, the next girls were entering

MOON YEJIN | BBC: this feels like mixnine, back when heejin and hyunjin sunbaenim were competing with other trainees

HWANG HEEYOUNG | BBC: i remember you were binge watching all of the episodes for almost 2 weeks straight

ERINA NAKAMURA | BBC: maybe loona sunbaenmin will do the same to see how we're doing-

WAKABAYASHI MASAE | BBC: this would be somehow embarassing, to be honest

the girls from blockberry creative chose to sit next to the starship trainees and started to talk to them, just in time as the next trainees came in

CHEN YIFAN | TOP MEDIA: do you think they know our company actually has female trainees?

SOPHIA YOO | TOP MEDIA: i would be glad if they know our company does exist. and if they do, they might know they iconic flying kicks of our sunbaes, teen top

CHEN YIFAN | TOP MEDIA: please don't scare them, or else they might think the teen top members apparently teached us their flying kick

SOPHIA YOO | TOP MEDIA: they most likely know up10tion and mcnd, as teen top is an older group soooo

both girls started to laugh and just sit down alone, as the next trainees were about to come in

IM YURI | HAPPYFACE: well, i think we should act all cool and calm

APSARA SUPRIJA | HAPPYFACE: we are, yuri. you're the one being nervous

VIVIAN LEE | HAPPYFACE: knowing that this angels called dreamcatcher makes me feel really relaxed, i think they will watch over us once we're sleeping

KIM JIEUN | HAPPYFACE: oh please, vivian- let them girls rest for once

apsara and yuri started to laugh about vivian's and jieun's joke while sitting down next to the top media girls and watching the next trainees coming in

HARLOW JUNG | JELLYFISH: well, there are already quite some trainees

HA JIHO | JELLYFISH: but i'm glad we're not the last ones to arrive

LEE DINAH | JELLYFISH: at least we're getting good seats, especially sitting together is the most important thing

the other two girls agreed to dinah's statement and sat down together, as at the same time the next trainees were entering

MICHIYO SAKURA | PLEDIS: y'all know there's a seventeen member as mentor

KIM SOHYUN | PLEDIS: yep, we better not mess up our performance

YANG YEIN | PLEDIS: we won't mess up, i'm here and y'all know we're most likely safe

JUNG NARI | PLEDIS: well, you haven't debuted until now unnie-

TAKAHASHI REINA | PLEDIS: nari you should know that yein unnie's debut got screwed-

the pledis girls became quiet really fast and just sat down awkwardly, as the last trainees were about to come in

BAE HYUNJOO | BNM: oh, we're the last ones to arrive-

DO CHAERIN | BNM: that's nothing new to me, i often get late into class

SONG NAHEE | BNM: do chaerin-

nahee shushes the girls while dragging them with her to the remaining seats

while the lights are turning off for a moment, two figures are entering the stage

KANG MINA | HOST: dear trainees, hello and welcome to pandora's box

MARK LEE | HOST: now that all of You have finally arrived, let's call the mentors in stage

KANG MINA | HOST: here is your dance mentor, cien of seventeen

cien waves at the trainees while smiling and sat down at her seat

MARK LEE | HOST: and here is your rap mentor, howl of aries

howl slightly smiled at the trainees Not knowing he will be really lucky and sat down two seats away from cien

KANG MINA | HOST: next one is your vocal mentor, haseul of meliora

haseul slightly bowed as the trainees cheered for her and sat dowm in the middle

MARK LEE | HOST: last but not least, here comes your allrounded mentor luan from meliora

luan got happily on stage and made puppy eyes once she saw howl and quickly took the seat next to him

HASEUL | V.MENTOR: as you can notice, there is a remaining seat next to me. dear trainees, please welcome our second vocal mentor, hwan

hwan slightly laughed once he heared the cheers of the trainees and took the seat between cien and luan

LUAN | MENTOR: howl did you see that? hwan winked at haseul for sure, i also think he might be her type

HOWL | R.MENTOR: oh dear- a you seeing things luan...are you okay or should i get you a doctor?

HASEUL | V.MENTOR: luan, you spoiled kid- you will be sleeping on the balcony, there's no way out miss

the mentors, the hosts and the trainees started to laugh at the scene while haseul calmed down and luan hides behind howl
