Synopsis
In hopes of cheering them up, Mion decides to throw a special surprise party after the girls discover Aira and Rizumu share the same birth-date. She takes the time to learn more about the girls and relies on Callings for help to see to it that it goes well.
Summary
The girls walk along the street one evening. Mion tags along from behind, thinking about their emotional embrace earlier on when they suddenly stop to try to look for something in the sky. Rizumu comments that around this time of the year, the Skater Constellation is visible, and she explains that it is there to protect the Prism Stars. But as they try to look, they are unable to see anything. After Rizumu explains how her father saw it on the day she was born, Aira points out that her birthday must be coming up, causing Rizumu to reveal it is that upcoming Saturday. Suddenly Aira embraces Rizumu and congratulates her, confusing them until she reveals she has the same birth-date. The girls are delighted to find this out, while Mion believes it may have been destiny.
The following day, Kyoko angrily chews out the girls for losing the Summer Queen Cup. She complains regarding the money the company had to lose as a result while they look over the article related to it. To cheer up Aira and Rizumu, Mion shows them another article about them, commenting that while they are inexperienced runners-up, they had exemplary teamwork. While this does seem to work, Mion tells them that they have to train a lot harder now to avoid letting everyone down. She storms out of the room while Aira and Rizumu give chase, leaving Kyoko and Jun in her office. He is happy to see the girls out of their slump, but Kyoko insists that he pays for the cancellation fees.
The girls decided to train but find themselves worn out pretty quickly. Neko-chi criticizes them while commenting that they should learn from Mion, who is busily training until Rabi-chi shuts off the music. Neko-chi demands to know why she did this and she explains that the girls have worked hard since the Summer Queen Cup, so they deserve a break. She also points out that they need to watch over the girls health, also.
It's then the girls get the idea to have a party to celebrate all of their hard work. Aira is convinced that it could motivate them and increase their mood again, but before Mion can answer they are joined by Jun, who thinks it's a nice idea. Mion agrees and Aira thinks it may be nice to hold it on Saturday. Mion points out that this is their birthday though, causing Jun to remark upon it by bringing up the Skater Constellation again. It has been said that the legendary skater, Sonata Kanzaki was born when it was visible, and since then it became her destiny to perform the Aurora Rising. He then asks Mion when she was born and she claims it to have been Dolls Day. So Aira tells Mion that they should celebrate her birthday with the celebration party too, which she hesitantly agrees to.
That night, while practicing with her batopon Mion speaks with Neko-chi. She is surprised to find Mion so interested in this party and asks her if she really plans on going to it. Mion mentions that she hasn't been to a birthday party before though, and because they seem sad she wants to make them feel better. But then one problem still remains, she has no idea what to do for them or what to get them.
The next morning, Rizumu's dad is working on his car when Mion, dressed up in a disguise finds him. She approaches to ask him about Rizumu, such as what she likes. He comments that she's always been the hungry type and thinks back to when she once ate one-hundred chocolates she got when she was little. He also points out how cute she is when she asks for more meat, and mentions that lately he hasn't been able to make enough rice for her to eat. With that, a confused Mion takes off back for home and finds out she is completely out of rice.
She then heads over to the Harune Household to speak to Aira's family about the same things. Hiro answers that Aira really likes cakes and dresses, and Prism Stones too. Before she goes, Omi pulls her aside to secretly tell Mion that Aira also has a crush on someone from Callings. With that Mion takes off, asking them not to tell anyone that she stopped by.
She asks for the Callings to meet with her and explains to them her plans. They agree to help her out and take off, but to her surprise she finds that Wataru is still there. He happens to realize that something is wrong and asks about it, but she claims to be fine. But when he continues to try to get her to tell him, she reveals that she isn't sure if they would want to celebrate their birthday party with her since they are close friends and she isn't. He tells Mion that he is sure they are friends, though she doesn't necessarily think so. But he manages to get her to think a little more over it by claiming that they will be happy, like he would be if she was to do something nice like that for him. Mion starts to leave the room and casually thanks Wataru for his words, but she claims she doesn't intend on saying it again.
Come Saturday the girls are asked by Mion to meet with them at the Planetarium. They are pretty confused to be there but as the lights begin to go out they spot the images of the constellations, including the skater. It's then the Callings reveal themselves to the girls to wish them happy birthday. They reveal that they will be performing a song just for them, which surprises the girls. As they are singing, Wataru runs off to grab Mion to reveal that she set this all up. She claims he didn't need to tell them, but the girls are beyond happy about this. She finds herself flustered as they start to cry and while the guys are finishing their song, the girls thank her before Aira requests that she dances for them. Mion is surprised by this, but they convince her to go on stage to perform for them. It's then Mion perks right up, telling the girls that because of them she has been able to get out of her slump, finding something to excite her again.
Mion goes off to change and comes back, where she starts to perform for them. She jumps into the girl to perform Do-Re-Mi-Fa Slider and continues to perform while Jun, Kyoko, and their little mascots watch. Jun and Kyoko discuss that while Mion may not have been born on the same day as Aira and Rizumu, the Skater Constellation was out during her birth too. All three of them have been blessed and Jun is sure that they will have a wonderful future before them. Mion then goes on to perform Golden Star magic as the performance ends.
Aira and Rizumu compliment the wonderful performance. But when Aira begins to rave over the performance, Mion interrupts to tell her that she doesn't need to be so formal with her anymore. Aira tests this out, then begins to call her "Mion-chan" before Rizumu decides to get Mion some barbecue sometime as thanks. It's then Jun and Kyoko grab the cake made for the girls earlier and brings it out, but Mion is confused since it isn't her birthday. They claim that this is an anniversary for the day they began to work together, which confuses her until they reveal their plans of making the girls a famous debuting group known as MARs.

Before Anime
Today the girls are preparing to practice. They look over the Pure White Wedding Dress and comment on the dancing of the girls. Mia mentions that they still have some time to go though, causing the Mascots to comment that they seem depressed. Reina is able to snap them out of it by suggesting they practice dancing to the first half of "We Will Win". As they are dancing, some tips are pointed out for those who dance to keep in mind, such as how important smiling can be, and using the batopon to reflect ones feelings. They finish and the Mascots reveal that the girls are going to take part in a Talent Contest to show what they have learned. With that they begin the anime.
After Anime
The girls announce their plans to practice a new song called Step! Step! Step! After they comment on it, they start their dancing to the song, but only do a little part of it. The mascots then go on to check to see if the girls have leveled up and after, the girls say farewell until next week.
