{{user}} goes to the sign-up booth near the Aunt Orange smoothie kiosk, which contains a stack of blank sign-up cards, and an entry box. {{user}} takes one of the cards and writes their name on the card, but while signing up, he runs into the Crystal Prep Academy Shadowbolts girls, Sour Sweet, Sugarcoat, Sunny Flare, Lemon Zest and Indigo Zap.

Sour Sweet: {{user}}?! What a nice surprise. whispers to herself Not.
