List of Pretty Rhythm: Aurora Dream episodes facts for kids

While shopping one day, Aira Harune runs into Rizumu Amamiya. Jun sees potential in the both of them and, despite their lack of experience, has them perform in Mion Takamine's place at her debut showcase with Callings, due to her disappearing. Because Rizumu is unable to perform a Prism Jump, she fails to entertain the crowd, while Aira is unable to skate. With encouragement from Jun, Aira pays attention to her outfit and performs a Prism Jump, "Fresh Fruits Basket."

Rizumu brings Aira to Pretty Top School, a Prism Star dance school, to see how she is able to perform a Prism Jump. Jun offers them both a scholarship and to debut as Mion's stand-ins, but Rizumu angrily declines. When Aira visits her apartment, Rizumu confides in her about her frustrations of being unable to perform a Prism Jump and hopes to perform "Aurora Rising" one day. To encourage her, Aira helps her coordinate a new outfit. At the Prism Show, Rizumu performs in her new outfit with the Prism Jump "Heartful Splash."

Aira and Rizumu meet Yamada and Mr. Penguin, who assign Rabichi and Bearchi as their coaches. Both coaches put the girls through strange and unorthodox training methods, but in the end, they discover that the training improved Aira's coordination and Rizumu's fashion sense.

Aira convinces Rizumu to go Prism Stone to buy new accessories, but they are sold out by the time they arrive. They encounter the members of Callings, who ask for their help to run an event for the shop. Aira suggests an Easter-themed event with a Prism Show. Before she and Rizumu perform, she finds out that Sho had given her the hair clip she had wanted, and her feelings inspire a new Prism Jump, "Heart-pounding Experience", while Rizumu performs "Colorful Choco Parade." After the show, Aira learns that Sho is the designer and owner of Prism Stone and believes her feelings for him are out of admiration of that.

Aira and Rizumu are scheduled to perform at a fashion show, but Aira is struggling to hide her fame from her overbearing father. Rizumu convinces her to reveal the truth, but Aira's father finds out before she is able to do so, and they get into a fight. When he attends their Prism Show, he demands Aira wear the unflattering outfit he bought for her as a condition to being a Prism Star. To his dismay, Aira alters the skirt for her Prism Show, but she later wears the rest of the unmodified outfit during a press conference, recognizing how much he cares for her.

Aira and Rizumu are assigned to lead a dance workshop for children and their mothers in Hakone to celebrate Mother's Day. With their parents chaperoning them, Aira learns that her mother used to be a stylist for Rizumu's mother, a Prism Star. At Hakone, the girls meet Natsuki, who refuses to participate as she is waiting for her busy mother to come from work. Rizumu urges her to not be selfish for the sake of her mother, which hurts her feelings. When Natsuki comes to realize Rizumu's intentions, she gives her the pin meant for her mother. This inspires Rizumu to perform a new Prism Jump, "Unlimited Love Shower", during her Prism Show.

As the Tiara Cup approaches, Jun informs Aira and Rizumu that the winner receives the Rare Tiara, one of the items required to perform Aurora Rising. Rizumu becomes so absorbed in practicing that she cuts off contact with her friends. While training, she finds Hibiki practicing in a secluded spot at the park, and he advises her to focus on having fun instead of winning. With his advice in mind, Rizumu returns to Aira to perform a Prism Show together, and she performs a new Prism Jump, "Happy Macaron Spin."

Sho invites Aira to help him with new clothing designs for Prism Stone, and Aira mistakenly believes they are on a date. Sho becomes frustrated with her critique and upsets her, but after Hibiki shows her his sketchbook, she learns that he is under pressure. When Sho gives Aira a dress he designed, Aira modifies it with inspiration through him and wears it for her Prism Show, performing a new Prism Jump called "Lovely Rainbow." Sho becomes thankful as Callings perform after her, and they reconcile.

As the Tiara Cup begins, during the wedding-themed fashion round, Rizumu lands in 9th place with 724 carats, while Aira wins 1st place with 1050 carats using a something blue-themed outfit inspired by Kyoko. Both qualify for the second round, which features a Prism Show, but before it begins, Rizumu gets a fever from lack of sleep. Aira buys time to let her rest, and after Rizumu wakes up, the two perform their Prism Jumps individually. Aira is nearly disqualified for going over the time limit, but the judges decide to give her a 200 point penalty instead, and both girls tie in first place with 2670 carats. Unbeknownst to them, Mion watches their performances.

Before the finals begin, three girls sneak into Aira and Rizumu's dressing room and steal their Prism Stones. Aira gives her remaining Prism Stones to Rizumu, who scores 3707 carats with two Prism Jumps. Sho and Rizumu confront Aira after discovering she has no Prism Stones left, but she decides to perform in her normal outfit, amazing the audience with two Prism Jumps, including a new one called "Bloom-Bloom-Blooming Love Flowers." She wins the Tiara Cup with 3728 carats, but Mion, annoyed with the attention she is receiving, interferes and performs a Prism Show with "Do-Re-Mi-Fa Slider" and "Golden Star Magic" as her Prism Jumps.

Andy, a stuffed bear made by Rizumu's mother Sonata, tells Bearchi about Sonata's past, where she competed for the title of the Prism Queen against Kyoko. After returning from retirement, Sonata trained rigorously for a year to perform the legendary jump "Aurora Rising" under Kei Takigawa's guidance; however, she is warned that "Aurora Rising" requires her to devote herself to Prism Shows only and sacrifice things important to her. Once she performs it successfully, she leaves Rizumu and her husband behind out of guilt for sacrificing her time with them to train.

Mion returns to Pretty Top, which excites Aira and irritates Rizumu. Aira and Rizumu are offered to compete in the Summer Queen Cup for the Rare Wedding Dress, but because it is a duo tournament, only one of them will be chosen to perform with Mion. With the new Bato Pon, Aira and Rizumu each put on separate performances with Mion for the Tanabata, but Mion outperforms both of them and saves them from making mistakes, ending their performance with the Prism Jump "Heartbeat Memory Leaf." After she confronts the two, both girls realize they still have much to learn in becoming professionals.

While training Aira and Rizumu, Mion suggests that the two release a CD single after discovering neither can sing and dance at the same time. As Mion is forced to be in the group as well, she teaches them how to sing with assistance from the members of Callings. The girls put on a successful Prism Show with the Prism Jump "Colorful Choco Parade Duo."

After Mion's father is unable to come to her Prism Show, Nekochi becomes concerned about her, which leads to an argument between them. Aira and Rizumu try to boost Mion's confidence by giving her their Prism Watches, which they decorated themselves. After realizing she is not alone, Mion puts on a successful performance.

While Aira and Rizumu are struggling to catch each other's Bato Pons, Aira's family's bakery is overflowing with customers due to Callings advertising it. Aira and Rizumu help out at the bakery, and with Mion's assistance, they finish making the cakes on time.

Each date ends disastrously, but Mion learns that Aira wants to support Rizumu, while Rizumu wants to compete to perform "Aurora Rising." She has the two perform in front of her, and the girls perform "Stardust Shower Duo." Mion selects Aira as her partner, causing Rizumu to run out in shock.

While Mion trains with Aira, she admits that she had selected her to test Rizumu's resolve. After noticing Rizumu has not given up her dream, Mion arranges Aira and Rizumu to enter the Summer Queen Cup together. Before their performance begins, they encounter Serena Jounouchi and Kanon Toudou, two Prism Stars from the Kansai region, who taunt them. Aira and Rizumu put on a successful performance with the Prism Jump "Fly High Cheer Girls" and places in 1st, but Serena and Kanon warn them that they have a weakness that may cost them the next round.

Mion is suspicious about Serena and Kanon's warning, despite Aira and Rizumu's reassurance that they are in sync after noticing Serena and Kanon do not get along. However, Serena and Kanon use their differences to their advantage, which allows them to win the Summer Queen Cup. Mion feels responsible for Aira and Rizumu's loss, but the two girls affirm that she is not to blame and they will work harder for the next competition.
