Unlike a good sum of people here, whom Seth had to talk into showing up, Celes signed herself up completely willingly. And why wouldn't she? If there was one thing she was whole-heartily convinced of, it's that a contest of beauty would be something she'd have little difficulty in winning. Never mind the fact that it didn't seem like anyone else signed up...

Oh well, perhaps they were merely late, not that it mattered. Once she stepped on stage this contest was as good as her's. Not showing up would save her opponents some embarrassment, to be sure.

When it was her time she stepped onto the stage wearing a dress she picked out just for the occasion and walked toward the microphone with all the air and grace of a queen. Then, once the music began, she started to sing, while letting her body move to the beat. Normally, she preferred to stand still on the rare occasion she decided to sing, but performing this particular type of song standing still would be far too dull. Besides, it wasn't like it was anything too fancy, just to keep the crowd's interest.

Finally, when the song ended, she took a deep bow and walked off the stage with a bright smile on her face. Eat your heart out, Maizono-san.
