Story
''It's officially announced that Ichigo and Seira will be facing off against WM on the ultimate stage in the ultimate competition, the Twinkle Star Cup. But before they can do that they must come up with an inspiring Unit name that will emphasize their indivisuality and suits their ideal unit image. ''

Summary
Otome comes to Ichigo, Aoi, and Ran with an article she's discovered and they begin to discuss the concert between WM and Ichigo and Seira.

Meanwhile, Mizuki and Mikuru have just finished training when Honoka comes by to remind them of their handshake event, followed by a radio show. While on the bus they also prepared some gravure photos they need to look over. She appears to be sympathetic that their training has been cut short by such a busy schedule, but they don't appear worried, convinced that as long as they have each other they'll be fine.

Ichigo and Seira are surprised as their friends lead them to a nearby room to reveal a party celebrating the brand new unit has been put together. However, they also reveal that they were hoping this would inspire the girls come up with a unit name since they need to work on that first. Trying to help them, Aoi and Ki bring up some other popular units they know, like Masquerade, Tristar, Star Anis, Soleil, Powapowapuririn, Splash, and WM. Then they point out how important it is the unit name fits both members. Ichigo and Seira are very excited but they worry over the difficulty since they need the perfect name, but with Aoi and Ki they feel assured they will be able to come up with something.

Suddenly, Ichigo gets a message from Raichi and Noel, who are asking if they have any name ideas yet. Ichigo calls her little brother to update him on their brainstorming, but they have no ideas yet. Noel then asks to speak to Seira and she mentions how a girl came up to them earlier to comment on how much she adores them. She is very proud knowing this and she expresses joy as Seira offers to come home on Sunday to pay her a visit.

Later, the party is over and the girls decide to call it a day. However, Johnny surprises them when he comes by to reveal the event has been planned for Sunday, disappointing Seira since this means going home would be impossible. Ichigo comes up with an idea though.

As they head back to school Seira and Ki discuss her idea of inviting Noel to the show. Seira worried about it but knowing how excited her little sister is encourages her to go through it. She is encouraged to put more effort into her training the next day.

Come then, Seira and Ichigo get to work until they decide to call it a break. Aoi and Ki join them with compliments and ask about their name- with the girls still having nothing. Aoi asks them what sort of unit they want to make and Ichigo points out that it should be fun and friendly, while Seira simply states it will be above WM. Aoi suggests that now that they have an idea in mind, she asks their purpose for becoming idols and Ki asks if anything has changed yet. This causes the duo to realize that they want the same thing and now having a theme in mind, they decide to entirely focus on coming up with a great name that will embody their ideals.

It's then Seira realizes the time and brings up the radio program she was asked to be a part of, and Ichigo remembers she has a magazine interview. As this is going on, Aoi and Ki remain together to discuss some recent events that occurred at Dream Academy. She asks Ki if they should speak to Compy, but Ki believes the best idea would be to let Ichigo and Seira work on this themselves. Aoi agrees, although she does wish there was a way to ignite the creative spark.

Suddenly, Ki comes up with an idea and they invite the girls to a new spot under the claims someone wanted to meet them. The duo are surprised and uncertain as they are led away, into a large room full of fans, including Noel and Raichi. They greet their fans while still confused, and it's revealed that this room is where their siblings hold their Reading sessions related to the girls, and how Ki organized this last-second event. They thought it would be nice to see their beloved fans cheer them on, and for them to see everyone's smiles. They have decided to put on a special, secret concert for these fans. Eagerly, the duo agree and prepare.

After the performance, Noel and Raichi, and the several fans cheer for the girls, and while Seira is surprised by the reception she is very happy. She and Ichigo prepare to leave with Aoi and Ki, and a wonderful name comes to Seira: 2Wings. She explains her inspiration behind it and the other three are very delighted and comment on how much they like it.

That Sunday their unit name is revealed and the girls head out to stage as Johnny wishes them luck. They change into their chosen coords and appear to perform "Sweet Sp!ce".

Afterwards, it was revealed that WM was watching the girls. They compliment the performance, as do Orihime and Tiara as they exit the performance hall.
