welcome back to crown! before we
begin with the voting result announcements
and our coronation for our new queen,
let's see what our trainees have in store today

as the princesses peacefully slept, a trio
walked into the crown castle and head over
to the throne room to make an announcement
through the crown castle intercom..

( ❝ ??? / INTERCOM ❞ ) PRINCESSES!!!!!!!! WAKE UUUUUUUPPPP!!!!!

the voice echoed loudly in the crown
castle, effectively waking up everyone

────────────────────────────────

( ❝ JAE / N ❞ ) bro wtf was that..

────────────────────────────────

( ❝ GIGI / C ❞ ) gosh, that was loud.. that even woke me up

────────────────────────────────

( ❝ ??? / ??? ❞ ) you're going to wake them up!

( ❝ ??? / ??? ❞ ) but that's the point?

( ❝ ??? / ??? ❞ ) you couldn't have done it in a funnier way? we're entertainers!

( ❝ ??? / ??? ❞ ) you both.. i swear.. i wonder how ******-hyung would react once he sees us three

( ❝ ??? / ??? ❞ ) wait, we're here to tell the girls something.. what was it again?

( ❝ ??? / ??? ❞ ) you dumb.. i'll tell them

( ❝ ??? / INTERCOM ❞ ) princesses! rise and shine! please head over to the courtyard!

( ❝ ??? / ??? ❞ ) i don't think that they're aware we have a courtyard..

( ❝ STAFF ❞ ) please tell them that they just have to go to the back entrance of the castle and they'll see the courtyard

( ❝ ??? / ??? ❞ ) oh, okay!

( ❝ ??? / INTERCOM ❞ ) by the way, the courtyard is just at the back of the crown castle so, please use the back entrance. thank you!

( ❝ ??? / ??? ❞ ) our job here is done!

────────────────────────────────

the princesses start running out
of their rooms, worried that this
is one of those wake up missions
and didn't want to be late..

the girls were in awe when they
saw the courtyard. they can't
believe that they were missing out!

────────────────────────────────

────────────────────────────────

( ❝ JIEUN / A ❞ ) why wasn't this in our castle tour?!

( ❝ YUKI / A ❞ ) aw, you guys are making me miss my home!

( ❝ SCARLETT / C ❞ ) wait.. is that..?

the girls gasped and quickly ran
over to the trio they spotted

────────────────────────────────

it was none other than..

the seventeen '97 line!

────────────────────────────────

( ❝ 97 LINE / GUEST ❞ ) say the name! seventeen! hi, we are seventeen's '97 line!

a loud squeak was heard by
all and when everyone turned
to the sound, they found an
embarrassed aera

( ❝ AERA / B ❞ ) s-sorry! don't mind me.. i'm just a huge fan of you guys..

( ❝ THE8 / GUEST ❞ ) well, at least we have a fan here! would be kind of awkward if you guys didn't like us haha.. ehem, anyways!

as the8 was about to speak,
someone had joined them in the
courtyard and guess who? it's..

joshua!

( ❝ JOSHUA / MENTOR ❞ ) princesses? what are you doing he- no way..

joshua looked at the trio
in front of the girls in horror.
why were they here?!

( ❝ JOSHUA / MENTOR ❞ ) ya! what're you three doing here?!?!

( ❝ DK / GUEST ❞ ) we came to grace the crown castle with why our presence. why? jealous we have their attention and not you?

( ❝ JOSHUA / MENTOR ❞ ) oh, whatever. i'm keeping an eye on you three though, if you mess up i am so telling seungcheol

( ❝ MINGYU / GUEST ❞ ) hyung doesn't scare us anyways so- yeah!

joshua raised an eyebrow at
the younger, as if he was
challenging mingyu

( ❝ MINGYU / GUEST ❞ ) on second thought, maybe we are haha-

( ❝ THE8 / GUEST ❞ ) can we just tell the girls why we're here? you guys are getting off track

( ❝ DK / GUEST ❞ ) oh, right! shua-hyung, if you want to stay and look at my pretty face, i won't stop you i know i'm irresistible

( ❝ JOSHUA / MENTOR ❞ ) but i-

( ❝ DK / GUEST ❞ ) anyways! sorry for disturbing your beauty sleep girls but, we were told that you girls are going to play shout in silence!

( ❝ MINGYU / GUEST ❞ ) there will be five groups with seven members each because that's basic math-

( ❝ THE8 / GUEST ❞ ) now, we will reveal your groups!

the projector screen on the right
turned on and revealed the groups

( ❝ THE8 / GUEST ❞ ) we will begin with the aqua team! princesses, please discuss your order

the girls discussed among themselves
before finalizing their order and standing
near the staff and got ready to start

their order began with qinyang and continued
on with jangmi, jae, erynn, soohan, sarang
and finishing up with gayoung at the end!

( ❝ MINGYU / GUEST ❞ ) the guidelines to this game will be flashed onto the screen!

────────────────────────────────

SHOUT IN SILENCE GUIDELINES

1. the staff have prepared a series of words
for the princesses to guess in 2 minutes. team
up and figure out what these words are!

2. the member at front of the line is the only
one who may take a look at the word given.
they will then shout it the the member behind
them and it continues on until the last member.
all the members wear headsets that is playing
music loudly to refrain from hearing each other.

3. once the last member thinks she has the correct
answer, scream "answer!" followed by the guess.

4. the team with the most correct guesses win today's
random game and gets a very nice reward! good luck!

────────────────────────────────

( ❝ MINGYU / GUEST ❞ ) you girls got it? okay! dokyeom will be the one who will flash the words!

( ❝ QINYANG / N ❞ ) ready!

at the go signal, dokyeom turns the page
of the sketchbook and qinyang, not yet
fully familiar with the korean language,
was a bit confused at the word but still
tried to read it and memorize it so she
can relay the word to jangmi

( ❝ QINYANG / N ❞ ) seu..kechibuk? *in chinese* what's that?

qinyang turns around to face jangmi
and taps her shoulder and gets
ready to relay the word to her

( ❝ QINYANG / N ❞ ) seukechibuk!

( ❝ JANGMI / C ❞ ) WHAT?!

( ❝ QINYANG / N ❞ ) SEUKECHIBUK!

( ❝ JANGMI / C ❞ ) SERENADE?!!?!?

( ❝ QINYANG / N ❞ ) SEU! KE! CHI! BUK!

( ❝ JANGMI / C ❞ ) OH! SKETCHBOOK! OKAY OKAY!

everything was smooth sailing
after that (minus the fact that
qinyang had a hard time saying
some words because she wasn't
familiar with them. in the end,
the guessed a total of four points!

( ❝ THE8 / GUEST ❞ ) a good start! next up, we'll have the amethyst team!

this groups order became soeun
being first and behind her were
minju, hera, haeun, yuki and
fujiko at the very end!

( ❝ SOEUN / B ❞ ) okay, start!

their word was lemonade! of course,
it was an easy word but.. the japanese
girls were having a hard time...

( ❝ JOSHUA / MENTOR ❞ ) ah, why did they put the two not-so fluent ones next to each other. oh well, it is kind of funny

( ❝ YUKI / A ❞ ) LEMONADE!!!!!

( ❝ FUJIKO / A ❞ ) EASTER EGG????

( ❝ YUKI / A ❞ ) NO, IT'S LEMONADE!

( ❝ FUJIKO / A ❞ ) MONSTERS. INC?!?!?!!?!?

( ❝ YUKI / A ❞ ) dude, how do you even- IT'S LEMONADE!!!!!

( ❝ FUJIKO / A ❞ ) OH OH OH! I GOT IT! ANSWER!!!!

( ❝ DK / GUEST ❞ ) what is your final answer?

( ❝ FUJIKO / A ❞ ) MISTER MISTER!

everyone fell over laughing at
the answer and fujiko the only
one confused at the situation

( ❝ DK / GUEST ❞ ) nice try! onto the next word!

well, they couldn't exactly even
get an answer out of fujiko's mouth
for the second round because the
two japanese girls were having a
hard time understanding each other
despite them trying to speak in
their own native language to cheat!

in conclusion, the amethyst team
got zero points in total. the aqua
team was still in the lead!

the next two groups, the sunshine
and nature team did just fine! even
if they weren't as high as the first
team, they both still managed to
obtain three points! now, if rose
team fails to snag five points,
the aqua team is the winner!

( ❝ IZA / N ❞ ) this is so easy, we're going to win this!

the order for this group was seoa
at the front and espy at the very
back. the other members lined
up with iza behind seoa and
followed by hazel, julia, woo,
and before espy was chayoung!

all was well, they were gaining
points but they did encounter
problems because the others
were having a difficult time
reading the lips of the others
so, in the end, the aqua team
had won! congrats to them!

the girls settled down and waited
for their guest hosts to announce
what the prize of the aqua team
will be. the aqua team was
nervous yet excited!

( ❝ MINGYU / GUEST ❞ ) i'm sure you guys are excited for the prize, especially the aqua team. well, how about myungho announces the prize?

( ❝ THE8 / GUEST ❞ ) okay then, the winning group will receive signed albums from each of the members. the album in question will be our repackage album coming out tomorrow! please support the album!

( ❝ DK / GUEST ❞ ) as an additional prize, the members will get an exclusive look at woozi-hyung's studio! no pictures allowed though!

the aqua team girls were squealing
in excitement and the others envied
them a whole lot! that could've been them!

( ❝ SEOA / A ❞ ) that should've been me!!

( ❝ JULIETTE / A ❞ ) seoa, play nice..

( ❝ SEOA / A ❞ ) hmph

( ❝ AERA / B ❞ ) ah, you guys are so lucky qinyang-unnie!

at that, qinyang raises her hand up
which catches the attention of the
four seventeen members..

( ❝ JOSHUA / MENTOR ❞ ) yes, qinyang?

( ❝ QINYANG / N ❞ ) is it okay if i give my spot to aera? she's a very big fan of seventeen and it's not that i don't like you guys but, i think a die-hard fan would enjoy this chance more rather than a casual listener of you guys

( ❝ JOSHUA / MENTOR ❞ ) that's very sweet of you, qinyang. and yeah, i think we can make that work, right guys?

( ❝ SVT 97 LINE ❞ ) yeah!

( ❝ AERA / B ❞ ) really?! oh my god, thanks!!!

( ❝ QINYANG / N ❞ ) consider it as my payment for what you did the other day for me. now we're both even!

the princesses have more fun with
the other seventeen members before
they have to go and eat breakfast
and prepare for the coronation

unfortunately, this means having
to say goodbye to the '97 line which
saddened the princesses

( ❝ DK / GUEST ❞ ) aw, don't be sad. who knows? we might be attending the final live!

( ❝ THE8 / GUEST ❞ ) see you soon and good luck!

( ❝ MINGYU / GUEST ❞ ) FIGHTING!!!! BYEEEEE!!

with that, the three guests leave
and now, onto the coronation!

( ❝ IU / HOST ❞ ) princesses! i hope you enjoyed your surprise this morning. but, all good things must come to an end. we might have a flood in the crown castle so, have a tissue box because we are about to have the coronation!

( ❝ IU / HOST ❞ ) first off, we will be announcing your rankings by trainee vote. however, even if you place high and should be in a good class rank because of it, if the mentors don't think you belong to your original class rank, you will be moved up or down. just a heads up!

PROJECT TWO OFFICIAL CLASS RANKS

────────────────────────────────

( ❝ JANGMI / F ❞ ) well, see ya-

( ❝ SEOA / B ❞ ) if bora gets eliminated, i will be so sad. she's always been there for me.. juliette and i will be upset!!

( ❝ ARI / C ❞ ) those moon sisters are insane..!

( ❝ ??? / ??? ❞ ) what do people even like about haeun? she doesn't deserve her spot

────────────────────────────────

( ❝ IU / HOST ❞ ) we're going to have a dramatic increase on eliminated princesses today. last time we only eliminated three princesses but this time.. we are eliminating five princesses

( ❝ IU / HOST ❞ ) yes, this means that not only princesses under class f will be under elimination but also princesses under class d. i hope you are ready..

( ❝ IU / HOST ❞ ) now, we announce the picks of the mentors and ceo. first, we will start with the mentors

────────────────────────────────

( ❝ RAP MENTORS ❞ ) we think suzuki haruna should stay

( ❝ VOCAL MENTORS ❞ ) yamamoto shiori deserves to stay..

( ❝ DANCE MENTORS ❞ ) song jieun should be given another chance

( ❝ MIRA / CEO ❞ ) i think that yamamoto shizuka has a lot of potential. she should stay

────────────────────────────────

( ❝ IU / HOST ❞ ) with that, i am sorry to say that KIM BORAM, HAZEL AMAIA SUH, PARK JANGMI, SCARLETT PARK and HAMADA KIYOKO will have to end their journeys here. is there anything you girls want to say?

( ❝ KIM BORAM ❞ ) i didn't think i would get this far, it really was a pleasure to be here eliminated or not. thank you to all of my unnies who taught me a lot, i promise after this i will go straight back to training. if you want, come visit me for a warm cup of tea, my nana makes the best. kim bora out!

( ❝ HAZEL AMAIA SUH ❞ ) i'm not great at doing goodbye speech. i didn't expect to be eliminated, i thought i was good enough to debut but i guess i'm not. wishing the best for the remaining trainees

( ❝ PARK JANGMI ❞ ) i can't say that i'm perfectly fine right now but i understand. i probably won't continue my dream to become an idol but i would like to focus on dancing and become a professional choreographer. maybe one day i could choreograph a dance for the group that debuts form this show! bye!

( ❝ SCARLETT PARK ❞ ) i'm not used to losing at all so actually don't know what to say but thanks for letting me come and participate and i'm sorry to everyone i have disappointed. i wish every trainee good luck in winning goodbye!

( ❝ HAMADA KIYOKO ❞ ) it upsets me knowing that i wasn't able to live up to your expectations but i will continue to fight for my dream and i will use this show as a stepping stone. i wasn't successful but i know that the final nine that do end up debuting will be. thank you!

the five girls tearfully packed up
their things and left the crown
castle for good. the girls were
heartbroken. as they spent more
time together, the more they all
became closer to one another

( ❝ IU / HOST ❞ ) well trainees, how about you go get some rest. i'm sure you need it

note : sorry if this seemed rushed ( bc it was lol )
i wanted to give you guys an update tonight! so,
forgive me for errors in this chapter. also, from now
on, screentime will become more less! i used to try
to give everyone at least one line but it's actuall
very difficult for me so, your trainee can get
almost no screentime at all but, no hard feelings!
anyways, that's all! thanks for reading!
